Chapter 217 In Order to Take You Home
Qunqing Town is brightly lit.
"God, why does Tianguan Mountain feel like it's about to collapse!?"
"Could it be that Great Lord Sinnoh got angry?"
"nonsense!"
"Then, what else could that be!?"
The vision from the sky, the vortex of time and space, caused the townspeople of Qunqing Town to panic... The world that has always been normal has suddenly turned into this, and it is normal to panic.
Jing stood on the street, looking up at the vortex of time and space. After pondering for a moment, he turned and walked towards Xu Qiansu's residence.
With such a vision, he wanted to ask the well-informed foreign businessman for his opinion.
He crossed the streets and alleys, came to the front of the house in a short while, and knocked lightly on the door.
No one answered.
Jing was startled slightly, and knocked on the door again.
Pat————
The door opened slightly, and Xu Qiansu stood behind the door in a black kimono.
"Excuse me... Mr. Xu is still resting?"
"Well, nothing, what's the matter?"
"Natural vision... do you know what's going on, Mister?"
Xu Qiansu tilted his head and glanced, raised his brows, a little surprised, then pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "I have never seen such a vision in my hometown."
"I guess so..." Jing pondered for a moment, then came to his senses, and smiled embarrassedly, "I won't disturb Mr. Xu's rest..." After finishing speaking, he took a few steps back, turned and left.
Xu Qiansu glanced at his back, then closed the door with a 'slap'.
He hasn't figured out how to explain Cattleya's origin.
Xu Qiansu stepped on the tatami, walked into the back room, reached out and touched Cattleya's forehead, then took out the usual antipyretics from the backpack, and helped Cattleya up.
"Cattleya, Cattleya... Open your mouth, take medicine..."
Although Cattleya was weak and had a high fever, she was clearly conscious.
Hearing this, she frowned slightly, opened her eyes, glanced at Xu Qiansu, but asked softly, "Whose quilt... is it?"
Um? bedding?
Xu Qiansu was slightly taken aback. Naturally, it was impossible for him to put Cattleya on the tatami at random, so she was lying on the futon at the moment... But Xu Qiansu didn't know who the futon belonged to, it was originally in this room...
But he also smelled it when he was building it, it didn't smell bad, and it was very clean... Could it be that Cattleya disliked him for sleeping and smelled it?
As a noble lady, Cattleya is a bit of a clean freak, but it's normal.
Thinking of this, Xu Qiansu replied: "It's mine... I'll get you another quilt later."
Hearing this, Cattleya's tense body relaxed slightly, she leaned forward slightly, took the pill from Xu Qiansu's hand, and then frowned, feeling so bitter.
Xu Qiansu picked up the water glass.
Cattleya asked again: "Is this water glass yours?"
ah? This water glass is naturally made by Xu Qiansu. It has been used for two months, and it is often used to hold lemonade.
He nodded slightly, and was about to change the cup, but saw that Cattleya was already holding the water cup, gulping down the medicine.
After drinking the medicine, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Not a clean freak? Xu Qiansu shook his head, it's not important.
He adjusted Cattleya's posture, covered her with a quilt, and then picked up the phone and dialed Mary's number.
"Escaped?" Mary's voice was still so clear and sweet.
"Well, it's stabilized... But Cattleya has a fever, and now she has taken medicine and has fallen asleep." Xu Qiansu looked at Cattleya's face and explained in a low voice.
"It's just a fever...that's not bad luck."
Xu Qiansu frowned, "What happened?"
"For the specific situation, you have to ask her... But the ghost actually has a fever and can take medicine... It's a world full of wonders."
"ghost?"
The blue light is faint, and the night sky is lonely.
Mary tilted her head to look at Cattleya who was lying beside her, reached out and stroked her smooth forehead, and said, "She has sunk her consciousness into that pendant, and her body is still here...Since you have seen When she arrives, it proves that she has successfully traveled through time... but in the form of a spirit body."
"Huh?" Xu Qiansu frowned, and he stretched out his hand to hold Cattleya's little hand, which was soft and cold, and he could indeed touch Cattleya... and although Cattleya had a high fever, But her complexion is rosy, and she doesn't look like a spiritual body...
"Tell me in detail." Xu Qiansu said, he was still a little puzzled... The pendant may be the root of time travel, but just sinking your consciousness into the pendant can come to Xicui... Is it any one of them? Can super power Pokémon come here? Is this world just a small space inside the pendant?
There are so many questions.
"I don't know. You have to ask Cattleya about the specific matters. She is the participant in everything." Mary replied quite simply. If you don't know, you don't know. "However, there is one thing that can be confirmed."
"What?" Xu Qiansu let go of Cattleya's hand, got up and went to the stove to boil hot water.
"For that unparalleled superpower with a heart higher than the sky to become like this, she must have endured a lot of hardships and encountered many dangers... It's all because of you." Ma Li's voice was tinged. An inexplicable smile, "As expected of Mr. Xu who claims to be the best in the world for understanding women's hearts."
Xu Qiansu stirred the firewood under the stove with a wooden stick, but did not speak.
Mary's voice continued, "Cattleya's body is very safe in modern times... But if there is something wrong with Cattleya in your place, it is obviously impossible for the body to be safe here... Pay more attention, her kind The method of traveling through time and space, if you don’t keep it neat, you will encounter some accidents.”
"I understand." The eloquent Xu Qiansu seemed a little silent at this moment.
After chatting for a while about Cattleya, I hung up the phone... After all, battery power is still very precious.
He put down the wooden stick that was stirring the firewood, and stretched out his hand to hold the gold and silver pendant, feeling its hard and cold touch...
If it wasn't for it, Xu Qiansu would not have come to this strange era, but also if it wasn't for it, Xu Qiansu might have died.
Xu Qiansu let go of her hand, got up and walked to Cattleya's side, reached out and touched her smooth forehead, then stood up, opened the door and left.
"Chirp?" The rattan snake looked at Xu Qiansu's back suspiciously, then looked away, looked at Cattleya's face, followed Xu Qiansu's example, stretched out her small hand, and touched her forehead...but it was It was empty, and the little hand passed directly over Cattleya's forehead.
"Bocha!?" The rattan snake was startled. This, is this a meeting with a ghost?
Originally, Cattleya liked to float around in the air, but now she can't touch it, it's more like a ghost...
Not long after, Xu Qiansu opened the door and came back, and a seductive fragrance came from him.
Given Cattleya's current physical condition, it's better not to waste time cooking... So he went outside and bought a lot of snacks for dinner.
"Bocha~Bocha chirp!" The rattan snake kept passing through Cattleya's small face with her small hands, telling Xu Qiansu that this woman had become a ghost... She, is she dead? ah?
Thinking about it, the rattan snake was a little scared...she was not afraid of ghost-type Pokémon, and she was sure to hit one, but ghosts among humans...she had never seen it before.
I heard that the Night Demon has the job of sending human ghosts wandering in this world to the spirit world. Should we go find the Night Demon...
Xu Qiansu sat down beside Cattleya, and opened all the packages in her arms.
The alluring aroma became more intense, and the rattan snake smelled it, and didn't care if Cattleya was a ghost... She sat directly on Xu Qiansu's lap, and picked up a rattan that was half her body in size with a rattan whip. The biscuits bite up.
After fighting so many times tonight, she was already hungry.
Xu Qiansu helped Cattleya up, and softly woke her up, "Cattleya, it's time for dinner..."
Since she can drink water and take medicine, eating must not be a problem... It's just that she, as a spiritual body, can replenish energy through eating.
"Ah~" Cattleya opened her soft pink lips, just when Xu Qiansu thought she would use superpowers to help her eat like she used to, but found that the food didn't move at all... Her mental power seemed to be exhausted, so super Ability can be used without it?
Thinking of this, Xu Qiansu took the biscuits, broke off a small half, and said:
"Let's eat sesame seed cakes first. The outside is crispy and crispy, but the inside is just right, full of wheat fragrance... Once there was a beggar emperor who couldn't eat, so his wife asked someone to pull a sesame seed maker from the neighborhood to bake cakes for him. ...The emperor likes to eat sesame seed cakes, and I also like to eat them, rounded up, I am the emperor... Does the emperor feel very hungry when he feeds you?"
Cattleya bit down the biscuits that Xu Qiansu fed, chewed them carefully, ignored Xu Qiansu's words, but still closed her eyes, and just lay on Xu Qiansu's shoulder like this.
good! have eaten! It's good to be able to eat!
Xu Qiansu breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up the cup containing tree juice, "Even the beggar emperor has never drank this thing in his life, so it can be seen that we are better than him..."
Cattleya turned her face away.
don't drink? Xu Qiansu took a sip, and it was delicious, made from pure natural tree fruit juice.
Is it because you hate dirty cups? Xu Qiansu poured the juice into the glass that Cattleya drank just now.
I drank it now... It seems that Cattleya still has a certain cleanliness.
Xu Qiansu put down his cup, took another bowl of buckwheat noodles, and said, "This...that beggar emperor should eat it often, so it tastes very good."
Cattleya bit the noodles slowly, even when she was being fed by Xu Qiansu, her demeanor made people feel elegant and noble.
After chewing, Cattleya's cherry lips parted slightly, and finally said a word.
"Zhu Yuanzhang will be mad at you when he hears..."
Xu Qiansu was slightly taken aback, then smiled lightly, and said in a low voice: "He is not such a shameless person, let alone a dead man, why won't he let me talk?"
"... Being able to read minds, does it mean that you have recovered a lot?"
Cattleya still didn't open her eyes, she replied slowly: "Mind reading...has little to do with my spiritual power..."
Xu Qiansu nodded slightly, held the chopsticks, and fed Cattleya another mouthful of soba noodles.
"What a good boy... have another bite of biscuits."
"Take another sip of juice..."
"One bite of cake, one bite of noodles, authentic..."
The rattan snake who was scratching his face couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Xu Qiansu's words. Was he treating the human ghost like a child?
Xu Qiansu tore off another piece of cake and put it in Cattleya's mouth... She turned her face away and said nothing.
I am full.
Xu Qiansu wiped her soft pink lips, put her on the bed again, covered her with a quilt, picked up the rattan snake and left the back room by herself, silently eating what Cattleya left after eating.
"Ah~" Xu Qiansu tore off the pancake and put it next to the rattan snake's mouth.
"Boo chirp~" The rattan snake bit down with a big mouthful.
She covered her cheeks with her two small hands and chewed happily.
Xu Qiansu laughed softly, and after he and the rattan snake had eaten all the food they bought, they took out a brand new set of bedding from the cupboard.
Very clean and no smell.
Xu Qiansu made a bed next to Cattleya... There is no other place to make a bed. The size of the house is only this big. The front room is used for cooking and the back room is used for sleeping...
After the rattan snake got into the cup, Xu Qiansu blew out the light, but just sat on the quilt without sleeping... He took a wet towel and physically cooled Cattleya.
As Mary said, Cattleya's move obviously has great risks, and no one knows if any accidents will happen. Even if it seems that she only has a high fever, she can't relax her vigilance.
So Xu Qiansu sat beside Cattleya silently, taking care of her, and never took his eyes off Cattleya's face for a moment.
In this way, until the sky brightened, people began to appear outside the quiet house.
Cattleya opened her eyes, with an inexplicable expression in her eyes, she met Xu Qiansu's gaze.
"Good morning, Miss Cattleya, do you need to go to the toilet?"
Cattleya got up slightly, then picked up the pillow, and slammed it on Xu Qiansu's face.
"pain……"
As it turns out, ghosts don't need to go to the bathroom...
...
Xu Qiansu withdrew her hand from Cattleya's forehead, and said in a relaxed tone, "The fever has subsided a lot, and I should rest for another day to fully recover... How did you get here?"
Cattleya looked much better, but she was still lying on the quilt. She turned over, faced Xu Qiansu's direction, looked up at him, and said in a low voice, "Through the back of the world."
"Tell me in detail." Xu Qiansu took the water glass and fed it to Cattleya.
A little thought appeared in Cattleya's eyes. She stood up and looked at Xu Qiansu, with long golden hair hanging in front of her. She explained:
"When my consciousness sank into the pendant, there was only darkness left in my vision, and then I entered a barren world, which should be the back of the world... There seemed to be unknown forces pulling me around, swallowing my strength... ...If it wasn't for being able to perceive the mark on your body, it should have been planted in it..."
Cattleya said it easily, but the reality is far from that simple... The place she went to was indeed the back of the world... The place where Arceus exiled Giratina, how could it be possible for a human to come and go freely in that kind of place, without paying any price...
If it wasn't for Cattleya who was an extremely powerful superpower, she might have been trapped there until she lost consciousness... Only she knew the danger.
But even if she was lucky enough to cross the back of the world and come here, her spiritual power has been almost exhausted, and her vitality has been greatly damaged... With her current spiritual power, it is even worse than that of Lalu Lasi who just passed through the growth period.
After one night, her mental strength has only recovered a little bit. Since she was a child, Cattleya has never experienced this feeling of almost losing superpowers... If she can't find a way to recover quickly, she can only be nurtured slowly. .
Although Xu Qiansu didn't understand the specific danger, he could also see Cattleya's physical condition.
He asked: "You took such a big risk to come here...to take me back?"
"Hmm." Cattleya nodded.
"What should I do?" Xu Qiansu asked again.
Cattleya tilted her head.
Xu Qiansu couldn't help but laugh. He stood up, met Cattleya's gaze, and smiled helplessly: "Let's find a way to survive in this era first, and then think about how to go home."
"I will take you home." Cattleya nodded, her delicate pretty face was confident and elegant.
Xu Qiansu didn't answer, he went to the front room and started cooking porridge.
"Chirp—" The rattan snake arched itself under the quilt, then got out and stretched itself.
Cattleya looked down at her, "Huh? Why is your snake here?"
It turned out that last night Cattleya had no room for the vine snake.
"Bocha." The rattan snake rolled its eyes, climbed onto Xu Qiansu's shoulder with short legs, and watched him cook the porridge.
Cattleya nodded her chin, floated in the air, came to Xu Qiansu's side, and also stared at him making porridge... She really looked more and more like a ghost.
One person, one little green snake, one ghost... Xu Qiansu's journey in this strange era seems to have just begun.
