Beidou.
In the game's setting, she is the captain of the 'Crux' fleet.
Rumor has it that she defeated a sea monster before acquiring her Vision.
Therefore, Beidou holds the title of the Uncrowned Dragon King.
In the original setting, Beidou has a very straightforward and righteous personality, and she has many followers under her.
She is a true big sister.
Even Hu Tao of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, when mentioning Beidou, said that Beidou is a famous person in Liyue and she wanted to be friends with her.
And in the background story, Tianquan Ningguang and Beidou also have a love-hate relationship.
Ningguang tried everything, good words and bad, but Beidou still did as she pleased.
Tianquan Ningguang also helplessly stated that the fines Beidou paid were enough to purchase a brand new ocean-going vessel.
From this, it can be seen that,
Beidou in the game is a well-known fleet captain who dares to go against Ningguang.
It is under such a prominent identity and background that,
Who would have thought that in her childhood, Beidou was a homeless, little girl who was so down and out that she had to snatch food from stray dogs?
....
At this moment, Little Beidou was still chasing the stray dog, shouting, "Give me back my rice bun!"
The residents of the fishing village silently witnessed all this and shook their heads, their eyes filled with disdain.
How could a dirty little beggar, who snatched food from stray dogs, run into their village?
Even when Beidou appeared in the village, some people instinctively took a few steps back, frowning deeply.
It was as if they were deliberately keeping their distance from Beidou, afraid that she would dirty the place.
Little Beidou naturally noticed the villagers' strange looks.
Those cold or disdainful gazes felt like scorching flames,
Burning Beidou's skin.
But at this moment, Beidou no longer cared.
Because she had been hurt so many times, she had gotten used to it.
After experiencing too many cold stares, she had become numb.
Only those who have experienced it will know that,
Compared to living,
So-called dignity is not worth mentioning at all.
Some people can eat lavish meals every day and are not startled by the slightest sound at night.
While some people, just living, are already doing their best.
Beidou did not care what others thought of her.
She just wanted to survive.
As long as her life remained, everything would be possible.
But if her life was gone, then everything would be gone.
Although Beidou was young, she saw things very clearly.
At the same time, Ningguang's big, watery eyes were also staring directly at Beidou.
She did not dislike Beidou's dirtiness.
On the contrary, Ningguang saw her own reflection in Beidou.
Once upon a time,
Ningguang was also a Cinderella, wearing rough cloth clothes and going barefoot, hawking goods everywhere.
She often lived a difficult life, suffering from cold and hunger.
She could understand Beidou's current situation because she had once deeply felt it herself.
At this moment,
Makoto moved.
He reached out and stopped Beidou, who was chasing the stray dog.
Little Beidou looked up, warily sizing up the young man in front of her.
She instinctively thought that Makoto disliked her dirtiness and wanted to drive her away.
In response, Beidou said, "When I ran, I deliberately avoided things in your village, so I won't dirty your village, nor will I knock anything over."
"Give me a few minutes, I'll get my rice bun back, and then I'll leave immediately."
Long periods of wandering and drifting had completely closed Beidou's heart.
So when communicating with people, she would instinctively show a wary and guarded expression.
Hearing Beidou's words, Makoto knew that she had misunderstood.
In response, Makoto said, "Little girl, I am not a bad person who wants to drive you away."
"On the contrary, I want to help you."
Makoto paused, then continued, "Seeing you chase the stray dog to get your rice bun back, I guess you must be starving right now."
"Please wait here for a moment, I'll go buy some dry rations for you."
Because he considered that Beidou had received too many cold words and her heart had already closed off,
Makoto chose a simple way to help her, one that Beidou would not resist.
In the city of Liyue, Mora can solve many problems.
For a moment, Beidou froze in place.
Makoto wasn't trying to drive her away, but wanted to help her?
Unlike... all the people she had met before.
...
As for Makoto,
He directly asked the villagers and quickly found the village chief of the fishing village.
In the original setting, the village chief was a very kind person.
It was he who gave Beidou dry rations, preventing her from going hungry, and also took her in, ending her life of wandering.
Currently, Makoto planned to buy some dry rations from the village chief.
This would both help Beidou and improve the village chief's living conditions.
It was killing two birds with one stone.
However, the village chief shook his head after hearing Makoto's request.
"Sir, I was already planning to give that poor child some dry rations, so naturally, I cannot let you pay for them."
Although the village chief lived in poverty, he had principles.
He was unwilling to profit from Makoto's kindness.
In response, Makoto said, "Village chief, let's keep things separate."
"You give yours, I buy mine, they don't conflict."
As he spoke, Makoto placed ten thousand Mora on the table and added, "I'll take the dry rations. This money should be enough to buy them, right?"
The village chief looked at the ten thousand Mora on the table, first stunned, then frantically shaking his head repeatedly.
"Sir, you've given too much. Those dry rations are not worth this much at all!"
"Please wait a moment, I still need to give you change."
The village chief of the fishing village was also a simple and honest person.
He disliked taking advantage of others and believed in equality in business.
The amount Makoto gave was too much, which made him anxious and at a loss.
In response, Makoto just smiled and said, "Village chief, this money is not much, and it's what you deserve."
"Because kind-hearted people should inherently receive extra rewards."
Makoto also did not let the village chief give change, carrying the dry rations and giving them to Beidou.
"Little girl, eat these dry rations first."
"If it's not enough, I'll go buy more."
Looking at the simple dry rations, Beidou seemed to see delicacies.
She quickly took the dry rations and began to eat them in large bites.
There was no other way,
She was simply too hungry.
For Beidou, these crude dry rations had already become a delicious meal.
Ningguang, who was beside her, was also thoughtful, afraid that Beidou would eat too fast and choke.
She even specifically poured a cup of warm water from the village chief's house.
Qiqi blinked his big pink eyes and weakly reminded him from the side, "Slowly... eat slowly..."
"Careful... don't choke..."
