Chapter 1164 Tartaglia's Memories
……
After Shao Yun finished speaking, the Fatui around him were already moved to tears by the eulogy.
Some people covered their mouths tightly with their sleeves, but still couldn't suppress their sobs.
Even Rocheyev, who had been pretending to be calm, had red eyes and kept wiping tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.
"That's very well said... This is the evaluation that the captain deserves!" Someone in the crowd choked up and said this, immediately attracting a chorus of agreement.
"Yes... every word touched our hearts!"
"I didn't expect that the person who defeated the captain actually understood him so well..."
Shao Yun looked at the group of fools in front of him who were expressing their true feelings, and felt secretly relieved.
Fortunately, the eulogy left by the "fake" Ganyu was appropriate enough.
At some point, Tartaglia appeared there.
He was standing in the corner, looking at the portrait silently, with the same sadness on his face as the people around him.
The moment he saw Tartaglia, Shao Yun remembered the system's reminder, asking him to find an opportunity to ask Tartaglia about the details of the battle in Liyue's Golden House, so as to find out the origin of the mysterious female goat that was monitoring him.
Shao Yun walked towards Tartaglia, stopped beside him, and greeted him:
"Hi, Mr. Tartaglia who has returned from the dead, I didn't expect to see you here."
Tartaglia was immersed in the sad atmosphere of Capitano's funeral. Seeing Shao Yun coming over, he immediately became strong and said:
"Oh, Mr. Shao Yun, what's going on?"
Shao Yun did not mention the matter of the Golden House immediately, but instead started with a conversation about the funeral to avoid appearing too abrupt.
"Nothing urgent, just saw you here and came to say hello."
"I thought you had already left Nata with the Fatui army."
Tartaglia sighed, confessed his plan in detail, and said:
"Well, Alechino took most of the wounded and the remains back to Winterfell, and I stayed behind to search for the missing doctor."
When Shao Yun heard that the doctor had lost contact, he felt something was wrong and asked, "Doctor?"
Tartaglia nodded and kindly reminded:
"Yes, the doctor has been missing since the battle."
"He has a strange personality and crazy methods. No one can guess what he's thinking. If you encounter suspicious people or things recently, you must be careful and don't let him get you into trouble. If he sets his sights on someone, he won't follow any rules."
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head again, as if he felt that this worry was unnecessary.
"But then again, Dottore wouldn't be so foolish as to cause you any trouble. But it's always better to be cautious. It's always better to be prepared."
Shao Yun silently took note of Tartaglia's reminder and accepted this kindness.
"Thanks for the reminder, I will pay attention."
After saying that, Shao Yun stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point of this trip.
"By the way, Tartaglia, I have a question for you about something that happened between us."
Tartaglia was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, a rare look of pride on his face.
I didn't expect that you would ask me this.
"Oh? What's the problem? It's rare that you have something to ask me, so just tell me. As long as I know and can tell you."
Shao Yun looked at his slightly smug expression and said nothing more.
"It's about our battle in the Golden House of Liyue two and a half years ago (one Kun year), almost three years ago. I want to ask you, do you remember how I defeated you back then?"
"The battle in the Golden House?" The pride on Tartaglia's face froze for a moment, and was quickly replaced by embarrassment.
He touched his nose subconsciously, and his tone became unnatural.
"Why are you asking about this all of a sudden... How long has it been? It's been almost three years now, I can't remember the details anymore."
That battle was not a glorious memory for him.
Not only was he beaten by Shao Yun without any chance to fight back, he also almost lost his life.
Now that Shao Yun mentioned it to him in person, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
What made him even more nervous was that Shao Yun suddenly brought up the "defeat" from such a long time ago. Could it be that he wanted to settle these old scores with him?
That shouldn't be the case. Didn't the two of them reconcile when they were in Fontainebleau?
Now we can be considered friends who have known each other for a long time, so why are you suddenly bringing up old grudges again?
Shao Yun knew that he must have misunderstood what he meant and took asking about past battles as bringing up old issues, so he hurriedly explained.
"Don't worry, I'm not holding a grudge. The Fontaine incident is a long time ago. There's no need for me to dwell on the past battle."
"I wanted to ask, when I was fighting your Golden House, did you notice anything strange happening?"
He deliberately mentioned "strange things" in a general way, fearing that too specific descriptions would interfere with Tartaglia's memories.
"Strange thing?" When Tartaglia heard this, he subconsciously raised his hand and touched his chin, and a long-forgotten memory began to emerge in his mind.
"Hey, Mr. Shao Yun, now that you mention it, I really remembered something..."
When Shao Yun heard this, he immediately became highly alert and asked, "What is it? Think about it slowly. No matter how much you remember, tell me."
This may very well be the key clue to unlocking the origin of the mysterious female goat, and he must not miss any details.
Tartaglia scratched his head, trying to search for that vague memory in his mind.
"I remember, I seemed to catch a glimpse of a... a, a... something, let me think."
(What a homosexual Tartaglia.)
Shao Yun held his breath and focused on staring at Tartaglia who was thinking. He did not urge her, but just waited quietly.
"..."
Tartaglia's eyes suddenly lit up and he slapped his thigh.
"I remember now! I seemed to see a monster with a goat's head and a human body!"
"Sheep?" When Shao Yun heard the words "sheep head, human body", his pupils suddenly contracted.
As the key memory just now was awakened, more details about the battle in the Golden House in Tartaglia seemed to be unsealed, becoming clearer and clearer in his mind.
"Yes, it's a goat's head and a human body."
He paused, then recalled something and added, "I luckily survived and even asked my master, Silkcock, about it."
"After hearing my description, she wasn't too surprised. She just said that I might have hallucinated while near death and mistook the Miss Ganyu in my memory for a human with a goat's head.
"After all, Miss Ganyu has Qilin bloodline, and the horns on her head are different from those of ordinary humans. I was unconscious at the time, so I can't say for sure if I made a mistake..."
Having said that, Tartaglia scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.
"Haha, now that I think about it, it's indeed possible. Maybe something really went wrong with my brain during my near-death experience, which is why I had these weird hallucinations."
After listening to this, Shao Yun finally understood why the system hinted to him that it would ask Tartaglia.
I finally understood why that sheep said we had already cooperated and known each other...
All the previous doubts have reasonable explanations at this moment.
He didn't have time to talk to Tartaglia about the past...
"Thanks, Tartaglia, you really helped me a lot this time."
Shao Yun said this very quickly, and without waiting for Tartaglia to react, he immediately turned around and ran towards his horse "Luobo".
Tartaglia was still standing there in a daze, not understanding why Shao Yun suddenly became so anxious.
He only saw Shao Yun rush to the horse in a few steps, flip over and mount the horse neatly, flick the reins, and with a "go" sound, the horse raised its front hooves and galloped away in the direction away from the funeral scene.
……
Inside Shao Yun’s ranch.
At this moment, Ying and Paimon took the little dragon "Potato Pancake" to send Jade back to Xumi, and she has not returned yet.
Shen He and Yuan Shang sat in the house and did what they could.
For example, cleaning the room (Shenhe does housework), removing weeds growing in the yard (Yuanshang does heavy physical work), etc.
At present, the ranch does not raise livestock such as chickens, cows, and sheep. Otherwise, the housework would become Yuanshang helping Shao Yun raise the livestock, and all the housework would fall on Shenhe.
As for Kong, he had to go to the Abyss Cult to "work" during the day... a high-level worker, so to speak...
Xi was lying in the crib, gurgling and turning over to entertain herself.
As a baby over five months old, she will be able to sit up in a while.
Of course, there is also a special "non-staff member" in the ranch... the female goat who has been secretly monitoring Shao Yun.
Although Shao Yun threatened to roast her into a whole lamb countless times when he was angry, he always just talked about it and never really took action.
Because of this, the female goats live particularly comfortably in the pasture.
At this moment, she was kneeling in the dragon's nest where the little dragon "Potato Pancake" usually rested.
The dragon's nest was made of soft hay and was extremely comfortable.
The female goat curled up inside with her eyes closed, resting quietly, looking as if she was living a peaceful life.
Suddenly, the goat's ears moved slightly.
She sensed a subtle vibration coming from the ground, a frequency and rhythm she was all too familiar with. It was Shao Yun returning on horseback.
The female goat slowly opened her eyes, raised her head, and looked towards the entrance of the pasture. Sure enough, after a while, a familiar figure appeared in her sight.
Shao Yun couldn't wait to dismount and strode towards the dragon's lair of the little dragon "Potato Pancake".
When the female goat saw Shao Yun walking towards her with a bad look on his face, she raised her eyes and met Shao Yun's gloomy eyes.
