Chapter 222 Dawn Morning, One Generation After Another...
In the fourth week of February, the sky was bright and clear, and the ocean near Qunqing Town was blown by the wet and greasy sea breeze.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Qiansu had been in Xicui area for a week.
In terms of harvest, it is not without.
After he mastered the power of waveguide, as long as he concentrates on perception, he can understand some languages of Pokémon. Therefore, he found out from the wild Pokémon that he often feeds that there seems to be a six-tailed Pokémon on the Ultramarine Coast. wandering...
Qunqing Coast, just from the name, is not suitable for fire-type Pokémon to live in. In Xu Qiansu's impression, there are basically no fire-type Pokémon, except for the island of blowing fire in the distance.
It should be his six tails.
However, although it is confirmed that Liuwei is on the Ultramarine Coast, the Ultramarine Coast covers such a large area, and it does not mean that it can be found by looking for it... Fortunately, Liuwei can be sure of its safety.
Xu Qiansu wiped the plaque of 'Little Green Snake's Cooking Cabin' with a towel, then put down the towel, opened the curtain, looked at Cattleya, and said, "Qunqing Town will send a collection team out today... I will go with me, taking the opportunity Look for Six Tails."
Cattleya was sitting sideways on the tatami mat with her eyes closed, recovering her mental power through meditation... Her meditation was naturally different from Kirulian's, and she could only use this to speed up the recovery of her mental power.
Hearing this, she opened her eyes, looked Xu Qiansu up and down, and nodded slightly... It was not the first time Xu Qiansu went out with the collection team, so naturally there was nothing to care about.
Xu Qiansu squatted down, looked at Cattleya at the same level, and asked softly, "How is your mental strength recovering?"
"If it used to be Wang Yang, now it's the Lake of Wisdom...the difference is too great." Cattleya shook her head slightly, her voice soft and lazy, as if she wasn't the weak one at the moment.
Xu Qiansu pondered for a while before asking doubtfully, "It took a week to recover so little?"
"Now I'm a spirit body, every move consumes mental power, and the recovery efficiency of meditation is very low, so I can't increase income and reduce expenditure, so naturally recovery will be slower..." Cattleya clicked her chin, and explained in words that Xu Qiansu could understand, "However, absorbing more energy will help you recover~Compared to when you first came here, you have already recovered a lot~"
Absorb more energy, that is, eat more... Cattleya seems to convert all the food she eats into spiritual power, so that there are no impurities, so she doesn't need to go to the toilet.
Xu Qiansu smiled, "I'll cook you more delicious food when I come back."
"Hmm~"
"Oh~" Soraya cocked his tail, and walked around Xu Qiansu in circles, wanting to go out with him... It's so boring to always stay in the house, and Cattleya makes him feel terrible~
The rattan snake lay on Xu Qiansu's shoulder, its maple-leaf-like tail swaying... She didn't have the trouble of Soraya, anyway, Xu Qiansu would take her with her wherever she went~
Xu Qiansu stretched out his hand to caress Soroya's little head, and it gently rubbed against Xu Qiansu's hand...
Xu Qiansu didn't take it out, mainly because Zoroya was weak, and Xu Qiansu sometimes ignored it, and Zoroya didn't have a Poké Ball, so he couldn't take it back when there was an emergency... But if Zoroya really wanted to go out , it's not impossible, just be more careful...
Thinking of this, Xu Qiansu hugged Sorolla, squeezed its little face, and said with a smile, "Go out."
"Oh~" Soraya frowned and grinned.
Xu Qiansu stood up holding Soraya, lifted the curtain, and put on a slightly loose white kimono.
Soroya couldn't wait to get in from the collar, struggled and turned around a few times before getting into a good posture, sticking out his little head from the collar, like a child about to go on a spring outing.
"Oh~"
The vine rattan snake has a slender and flexible body, and it slid into the clothes skillfully at once, closing its eyes and preparing to sleep.
Xu Qiansu tapped Soraya's forehead, signaling it to retract its head, and then opened the door and left.
Stepping out of the door, the breeze blows, and the lively voices of people enter the ears... Although the space-time vortex is huge, but for the time being, there are no more visions. Since it has no impact on daily life, the residents of Qunqing Town naturally I don't care too much about it, just treat it as a special landscape.
Xu Qiansu found a direction, stepped on the bluestone floor tiles, and walked forward slowly.
Walking through the streets and alleys, I finally came to a bluestone alley, where the yellowed wine streamers fluttered in the wind.
In the Qingshi alley, there is an old wine shop that has been open for countless years, a few wine tables, and a few tanks of wine, but it has witnessed many people coming and going.
Xu Qiansu came outside the wine shop and held out the empty wine jug, "Boss, bring a jug of wine."
The sake in the restaurant here tastes very good. Fujito Snake likes to drink it, and even Xu Qiansu likes it a little bit, so he doesn't come here for a drink this week.
Because it was still early, there were no customers in the wine shop, only the old shopkeeper was wiping around with a rag. He raised his eyes, and there was a smile on his old face:
"It's so early today...is it still the same?"
Xu Qiansu smiled, nodded slightly, and asked curiously: "How many years has the shopkeeper opened a restaurant in Qunqing Town?"
The shopkeeper poured wine for Xu Qiansu, handed over the jug, and said with a smile: "How many years? I can't remember, but Qunqing Town is an enlightened town, and it often accepts people from all over the world...they have Many people have come to Little Old Man to drink and talk freely, with a jug of wine, people from all corners of the world can be gathered... Even Pokémon have come here."
"Pokémon?" Xu Qiansu raised her eyebrows with interest.
"Yes, Soroya..." The shopkeeper wiped the table, his cloudy eyes flashed a bit of reminiscence, after thinking for a moment, he smiled helplessly, and said: "A Soroya who has transformed into a human and is full of curiosity about human villages and towns …Originally, it was fine, but it obviously has no experience of drinking, and it can’t maintain its human form after drinking a little bit…In the end, there was no corpse left, and it was cremated…”
Xu Qiansu was slightly taken aback, pursed his lips and remained silent.
As he said that, the shopkeeper shook his head and sighed softly, "Little old man, I have only come into contact with one Pokémon in my whole life. When it came to the wine shop, it was silent and silent. I noticed something was wrong, but after all, I was inexperienced, so I didn't think much about it..."
"It probably hates me from the bottom of its heart... If it wasn't for me, it wouldn't be able to be recognized..."
rustle----
Footsteps came from behind, and a man wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe walked past Xu Qiansu and walked into the restaurant.
The shopkeeper restrained the sigh in his eyes, and greeted the guests with a warm smile.
He warmed a jug of wine for the guests, and served several small dishes on the table.
Xu Qiansu shook his head, turned and left.
The shopkeeper looked at Xu Qiansu's back, perhaps talking about this, reminded him of that Zoroya inexplicably... that Zoroya's transfigured human form was also wearing a white kimono...
"That man... who is it?" The man in black robe took a sip of warm wine, but asked.
His voice is hoarse and he speaks slowly.
"A foreign businessman who has only been in Qunqing Town for a few days...just a normal drinker." The shopkeeper looked away from Xu Qiansu's back and said with a smile.
The black-robed man nodded slightly, and stopped talking.
The shopkeeper smiled, then turned his head to look outside the restaurant, the white figure that had disappeared.
"Unknowingly, several generations have passed..."
"He's still young, he must be only a generation away." But the black-robed man suddenly opened his mouth and answered the shopkeeper's nana to himself.
The shopkeeper felt a little confused, not knowing what the black-robed man meant, so he just smiled and said no more.
...
Xu Qiansu put away the jug and walked to the gate after a while.
Many men with tools were already waiting there. When they saw Xu Qiansu, they nodded slightly to say hello.
"Mr. Xu, are you used to living in the town?" The guard saw Xu Qiansu, but he walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and grinned.
They were deeply impressed by this foreign businessman whom Rang Jing personally entertained, and...Mr. Xu's foreign cuisine is really delicious.
"Thank you all for taking me in..." Xu Qiansu replied with a slight smile.
"Damn, what a big deal..." As he said that, the guard touched his heart, as if there was still a bit of pain, and he warned: "There are thieves protecting Pokémon on the Ultramarine Coast recently. How hostile we humans are, Mr. Xu should be more careful..."
"Hmph, if it wasn't for the dark night and the fact that I was a little unconscious after drinking a little wine, how could I have lost." Another guard interrupted at this time, his words were full of dissatisfaction.
Xu Qiansu smiled and didn't interrupt at all.
When all the people arrived, they opened the door and went out together.
Although the procedures are relatively cumbersome and restrict freedom, since the outside world is full of Pokémon that are hostile to humans, it makes sense to act like this.
Xu Qiansu silently followed the large army, and never said much unless someone spoke to him.
Qunqing Town is located from Windward Forest to the Cape of Curtain in the original work, that is, the north of Qunqing Coast. If you go further north and climb over the mountains, you will find the hidden spring where Emperor Nabo lives. To the south is Tranquility Bay. Go northeast , is the island of blowing fire, inhabited by the wind speed dog who controls the fireball slate...
According to Xu Qiansu's information from wild Pokémon, Liuwei should be active in the south.
But this time the destination is in the west, still in Windward Forest...Xu Qiansu needs to find a chance to leave.
For him, it is not difficult, as long as he finds a reason, such as picking berries, treating herbs, etc... This is not the first time he has done it, not to mention that he has no acquaintances, and few people pay attention to him, and he After returning smoothly for the first time, no one cared about him.
So he greeted, then turned and left directly.
Someone turned his head to look at him and then looked away. Everyone has their own business to do, and being in the outside world, they are nervous, so they will not pay too much attention to someone who is not very familiar with Xu Qiansu.
Some people may be suspicious, but so what? Xu Qiansu didn't plan to stay in Qunqing Town for a long time either.
Xu Qiansu would search Windward Forest and its surrounding areas every night, and was very familiar with the geographical environment around Qunqing Town, so he walked in a hurry, turned left and right, and arrived at the border of Windward Forest.
Some wild Pokémon looked at Xu Qiansu curiously, then leaned forward and rubbed on Xu Qiansu's calf... They knew Xu Qiansu well and knew that this human who always fed them delicious food was not hostile.
On a sunny day in February, many wild Pokémon shuttled among the red willows and greenery on the mountain trails.
Xu Qiansu reached out and pinched the back of Sorolla's neck, and let it out...Xu Qiansu had already confirmed with the waveguide, and no one was following him, so naturally he didn't have to worry about being found out that he was raising Pokémon.
The rattan snake climbed onto Xu Qiansu's shoulders, swaying its short legs, enjoying the hard-won sunshine... Usually there are not many opportunities to show up in broad daylight.
"Oh!" Soroya narrowed his eyes, running around Xu Qiansu excitedly.
Or how can I say that the fox is a canine, but if it is Liuwei, she will definitely not circle around Xu Qiansu, but will directly jump into Xu Qiansu's arms...
The sun shines through the branches, showing various shades on the ground.
Xu Qiansu pursed her lips, brushed aside her distracting thoughts, and went down the hill.
rustle----
All of a sudden, Xu Qiansu had been concentrating, and the waveguide that was spreading outwards noticed the breath of humans... and Pokémon?
Could it be that he met a member of Team Galaxy?
But if it's the Galaxy team, their Pokémon should be kept inside the poke ball...Xu Qiansu usually can't perceive it.
Xu Qiansu thought secretly, and nodded the little heads of Vine Vine Snake and Soroya. Soroya raised his face suspiciously, and then was hooked by Vine Vine Snake's vine whip, hid in a tree, and secretly followed Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu continued to descend the mountain, but within a few minutes, he met a middle-aged man who was buried in the mountain.
He was dressed in coarse sackcloth, with a bag on his back. He had a strong figure and a simple and honest face. It seemed that he was a little tired because of the long journey.
Xu Qiansu raised his eyebrows slightly. He could tell that this man had a long inner breath and a very stable foot. He had obviously practiced martial arts... However, the waveguide of Pokémon was more intense.
Xu Qiansu glanced at the luggage behind him, thinking that he had met a Pokémon Hunter again?
How come there are Pokémon Hunters in the Xicui area?
While he was thinking, he saw the man with a simple and honest smile, and asked, "Excuse me, which town is the closest to here...how can I get to Qunqing Town?"
Ask for directions……
Xu Qiansu took a few steps forward, and as the distance approached, he could perceive more things... The man's waveguide is strong, but the Pokémon's waveguide is weak, giving Xu Qiansu a feeling of... a feeling like a gossamer.
This Pokémon is either seriously injured or seriously ill...
He became more and more convinced that this man was a Pokémon hunter, and when he was about to act first and rescue the Pokémon, he saw the man wriggling his nose, looked at Xu Qiansu, and asked, "Little brother, is it possible that you are the one who has been killed?" ...You also raise Pokémon?"
Xu Qiansu was slightly taken aback, "Yeah?"
But the man smiled honestly, "I have a keen sense of smell since I was a child, and I have practiced martial arts, so my five senses are even more acute, so I can accurately smell that my little brother has a smell that is different from human beings... This smell can only be smelled with years of experience." Only when Pokémon get along with each other will they be infected."
Just as Xu Qiansu was meditating, he saw the man unpacking his bag and opening it... A hunting swallowtail was curling up its wings, closing its eyes, and resting obediently in the man's wide palm, with a few flowers inside. flowers...
Xu Qiansu guessed wrong, it didn't suffer any injuries, but... the breath of life was very weak.
Xu Qiansu looked away and said, "You should be able to see that it is about to die, right?"
The lifespan of insect-type Pokémon, unless it is special...or it will not be very long.
"Yes..." The man's dark face once again brought a simple and honest smile, "It grew up with me and lived in a small place all my life, that's why I want to take it around and see different people. view……"
The man grinned, his broad and callused hands were so gently dragging the hunting swallowtail, "And the world is so big, what if we can find a way to prolong its lifespan... I passed by Zhuqing Village once, I have seen the Galaxy team that lives in harmony with Pokémon, and I heard from them that there is a solution near Qunqing Town, so I came here to take a look..."
Team Galaxy? Why would they tell this guy such a thing?
Xu Qiansu frowned slightly, and said, "I've also lived in Qunqing Town for a while, and I haven't heard of any ways to prolong life..."
As he spoke, Xu Qiansu dug in his bosom, took out a box of elf food, opened it, and said in a low voice, "Instead of pursuing those illusory things, it's better to let it live a comfortable life at the last moment of its life."
"Hmm?" The hunting swallowtail smelled the aroma of elf food, and couldn't help opening her eyes, looking at Xu Qiansu, and then at the man.
Xu Qiansu smiled and said softly, "Eat."
The man also nodded slightly, and then he narrowed his eyes when he was hunting Swallow Die, and started to eat.
"Yes, I think so too...so I just came to Qunqing Town to have a look, and took a job from Team Galaxy to make ends meet..."
Xu Qiansu nodded slightly, since this involved the man's personal affairs, he didn't ask any further questions.
Now that the space-time vortex appears, it must be the beginning of the main storyline...
Therefore, Team Galaxy's job... is probably to prepare for the construction of the camp on the Ultramarine Coast.
He stuffed the elf food into the man's hand, and said in a low voice: "The acceptance of Pokémon in Qunqing Town is not that high, so be careful in the town, and don't let the hunting swallowtail show up unless necessary."
Having said all this, Xu Qiansu pointed in the direction of Qunqing Town, and then passed the man and walked away... He didn't have much time for activities outside, and he still needed to find Liuwei in a hurry.
The man looked at Xu Qiansu's back, saluted solemnly, and then walked towards Qunqing Town with Hunting Swallow Butterfly...
