Chapter 224 Fate Is Impermanent, Rainy Night Is Like a Curtain

Three days ago, the eve of the riot in Zhuqing Village.

As the base of Team Galaxy, Zhuqing Village is very open to the outside world and accepts tourists from all over the world. Because of the tourists, the prosperity level is far higher than that of Qunqing Town, so the streets are crowded with pedestrians.

In the afternoon, a man in civilian clothes walked slowly into Zhuqing Village with his luggage on his back. It was obviously his first time here, so he couldn't help tightening his luggage and looking around at the surrounding scenery.

The overall architectural style of Zhuqing Village is not much different from other towns in Xicui area, so there is actually nothing to see.

What really surprised him was that he was able to meet a lot of Pokémon along the way... Although they were all relatively weak Pokémon such as Big Toothed Beaver, Spiny Tail, and Little Fist, but humans and Pokémon, Really live together.

"Woo chirp?" A suspicious cry came from the bag behind him... His hunting swallowtail obviously sensed the same kind of breath.

Although the man was surprised, he did not let go of his vigilance and released the hunting swallowtail directly. He chuckled and said, "This Zhuqing village is so prosperous, the doctor must be highly skilled and has experience in treating Pokémon... Waiting for you It's better, I'll take you around again."

The hunting swallowtail didn't respond, and given its age, it usually fell asleep most of the time.

After asking a few people, the man found out that the medical team leader of the Yinhe team, Chu'er, had the most superb medical skills in Zhuqing Village.

He asked for directions, crossed the streets and alleys, and came to the headquarters building of the Galaxy team. He explained his purpose to the guard at the gate, and was easily led to the medical team.

The members of the Galaxy team have no resistance to outsiders like him.

Chu'er is a young woman with pink twin ponytails who somewhat resembles Joey.

There were quite a lot of patients in the medical team, but the man didn't make any noise and jumped in line, waiting slowly until Chu'er approached.

She looked the man up and down, and asked suspiciously: "Your body is strong and strong, your breath is long, and your complexion is very good. You don't look sick at all?"

The man smiled honestly, and unpacked the bag, and the sleeping swallowtail butterfly and the flowers in the bag appeared in front of Chu'er.

Chu'er frowned slightly, remained silent for a while, then pursed his lips, and said lightly: "Life and death have a destiny, and it is about to die... In this case, there is no cure for medicine and stone...You, please mourn."

The man smiled politely, and although he got the answer he had heard many times, he still said sincerely: "You are a famous doctor, please think of a way to let her live a few more days..."

Chu Er frowned, let a Pokémon that was about to die live a few more days... It is not impossible, but it is very troublesome and requires a lot of precious medicinal materials. Recently, the investigation team is performing missions outside, and many Pokémon have been injured ...As the team leader of the Galaxy team's medical team, she should naturally give priority to medical resources for the Galaxy team's Pokémon...but...

She looked the man up and down a few times, with a dusty look, it was obvious that he had traveled a long distance to come here...

So she pursed her lips and pondered for a while before she said, "It's possible, but it requires a lot of medicinal materials, and the medical expenses are not a small amount..."

Although she is the team leader of the medical team, it is obviously impossible for her to embezzle medicinal materials for free to treat someone for free. Medical resources are not unlimited, so it is impossible to squander them like this. She is willing to spend resources and energy just to keep the hunting swallowtail alive for a few days. , has been benevolent.

The man obviously understood this truth, his eyes lit up, he knelt down and gave Chuer a heavy knock on the head, and said loudly: "Money is not a problem, I still have a few strengths, and I will definitely get together the medical expenses!"

"You, get up!" Chu'er had never seen such a battle before, and the rest of the medical team also looked over, making her blush, chop off her feet, and quickly pulled the man up.

The matter should have been resolved smoothly in this way, but in the medical team, there was still a person at the time...

...

"Please wait."

The man left the medical team and was about to go to Zhuqing Village to find some work to earn money when he was suddenly stopped.

He looked up, but it was a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Galaxy team...

Back to the present, afternoon and dusk.

Rumble———

Cang Lei slid past, watching the battle, it was going to rain.

Xu Qiansu looked up at the sky, the waves ebbed and flowed, and the sea breeze blew, his already somewhat long black hair was gently lifted.

The setting sun in the distance is slowly falling beyond the sea and sky, dyeing the whole sea in reddish color.

"Oh!" Soraya stepped on the beach with his paws, and when he saw the little plum blossom print he had printed, he giggled happily.

The rattan snake sat on Xu Qiansu's shoulder in a bored way, shaking her calf lightly.

"Go back..." Xu Qiansu looked away, leaned over to hug Soraya, and smiled softly.

"Oh~"

The rattan snake turned its head to look at Xu Qiansu, ran from Yingfenglin to Ginkgo Beach, searched for a whole day, but still failed to find the clue of Liuwei... She stretched out her rattan whip, lifted the wine pot from Xu Qiansu's waist, Pass it to his face.

"What wine are you drinking now?" Xu Qiansu couldn't help laughing, but still took the jug and took a sip.

"Chirp." The rattan snake seemed to hum.

Xu Qiansu patted her face, smiled again, "Go back."

...

The sun was setting, the sky was rumbling, and it seemed to be a rainy night tonight.

Qunqing Town.

The wine flags in the Qingshi alley were fluttering in the wind. Because of the imminent rain, most of the drinkers left, and the shopkeeper also planned to close the stall early, and was wiping the table with a rag.

Suddenly, he heard a faint sound of footsteps.

The shopkeeper obviously has good experience, and it can be judged from the sound of footsteps that the person has practiced martial arts.

He turned his head to look, but he saw a man wearing a coir raincoat, a bamboo hat, and a bag on his back opened the curtain and asked, "Does the shopkeeper still sell wine?"

This person is a stranger, but he pretends to be a traveler who just arrived in Qunqing Town today... You can also call him a quack.

The shopkeeper chuckled, threw the rag over his shoulder, put out a jug of fine wine and put it on the table, then turned around and took an empty bowl, but when he looked back, the man was already holding the jug and drinking in a muffled voice.

The shopkeeper didn't care, put down the empty bowl, and brought out two small dishes instead.

"Thank you, shopkeeper..." The man smiled honestly, and replaced the bamboo hat and coir raincoat, revealing the coarse linen clothes inside, "No business today?"

"Qunqing Town is just a small town, so how can there be so many people who are addicted to alcohol..." The shopkeeper had a smile on his face, and sighed softly, "It's night now, it's going to rain soon, naturally No one will come."

"That's true," the man chuckled, put down the wine jar, ate some side dishes, and asked, "I don't know if anyone has settled in the town in the past seven days?"

"Settled?" The shopkeeper wiped his hands with a rag, stirred the wine ladle lightly in the vat with a strong aroma of wine, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I've been a wine shop all my life, coming and going, and everyone has seen it. ...The pretentious hero, the rogue in the market place, and even the Pokémon have seen it...the longer a person lives, the more he sees things..."

As he said that, the shopkeeper turned his head to look, "Are you entrusted to assassinate him?"

Bang———

Cang Lei streaked across the night, raindrops poured down, and landed on the corners of the eaves and corridors, making a crisp sound.

Hearing this, the man was slightly taken aback, nodded slightly, but shook his head slowly.

"Then excuse me, little old man, I have nothing to say, you can go find information elsewhere..." The shopkeeper shook his head slightly, but he was not afraid of the man doing something irrational because of it.

The man stood up, but he just took two empty bowls, poured wine, pushed one of the bowls towards the shopkeeper, and said slowly: "If everything goes well, it may not necessarily hurt his life."

The shopkeeper looked at the wine bowl, didn't pick it up, but raised his eyes to look at the man's luggage, and asked, "Are you bringing... hunting swallowtails?"

Boom!

The man stood up abruptly, and the bench under him fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

The shopkeeper gently raised his hand and explained: "The pollen from hunting swallowtails is one of the best materials for making fruit wine. I have been running a liquor store for so many years, old man, so I can smell it... Don't worry, old man. I'm a relatively open-minded person about Pokémon, and I don't care that you carry Pokémon with you."

The man's face was full of surprise, and after a while, he picked up the bench and sat down, opened the bag, and let the hunting swallowtail breathe... In the bag, the flowers that the man picked specially for the hunting swallowtail showed signs of withering.

"Originally, I should put the hunting swallowtail in Zhuqing Village to recuperate, but a member of the Galaxy team took out a crystal clear energy cube and fed it, and it regained some vitality. It is a miracle!" the man said. The tone is brisk, which is the tone that can only be possessed when one suddenly finds hope in despair.

"...He told me that he has a way to restore the vitality of the hunting swallowtail, but I need to find someone..." the man whispered.

The man didn't fully believe Chi Ri's words, but Chi Ri promised that as long as he could bring that man back to Zhuqing Village, even if he couldn't restore the hunting swallowtail, he would give him a lot of money... Hunting swallowtails can live a few more days... This is enough for a man to come to Qunqing Town alone.

The shopkeeper looked at the hunting swallowtail for a few moments, then heaved a long sigh, picked up the wine bowl, but after hesitating for a moment, put it down again, touched the wine bowl in the man's hand slightly, and said:

"It's impossible for me to tell you the news, but this bowl of wine...you don't have to pay for the wine."

The man smiled slightly, picked up the wine bowl, and drank it down in one gulp.

boom!

The wine bowl was put down, and there was a light sound on the table.

The man stood up, bowed to the shopkeeper, put on the bamboo hat and coir raincoat, walked outside the door, took a long knife leaning against the green wall, and walked away with the hunting swallowtail .

The lights in the restaurant were flickering, illuminating the shopkeeper's face in a dark and uncertain way.

He tilted his head to look at the man's back in the rainy night, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"This troubled world... is so fucking bad."

In fact, there was one thing that the man didn't tell the shopkeeper... He came to Qunqing Town this morning, and the news had already been found out.

It's just that the man didn't return, so he just waited until now... The one who asked the shopkeeper again was just out of luck, hoping to get a completely different answer.

Boom!

Cang Lei flashed past, the heavy rain roared, and the raindrops fell down.

Cattleya sat in the room, closed her eyes and meditated, her elegant and elegant fair face was expressionless, quietly waiting for Xu Qiansu to come back...

call--

The lights in the room seemed to be extinguished suddenly because of the cold wind on a rainy night.

Cattleya opened her eyes, raised her hand slightly, and the fire ignited out of thin air.

She was silent for a while, and then turned her head to look. Through the wooden window, she seemed to have crossed thousands of houses and towering city walls.

Tread Tread————

Holding a paper umbrella, Xu Qiansu walked across the muddy mountain road to the gate of Qunqing Town.

The lingering night and the torrential rain caused the guard's vision to be somewhat poor, and it took him a while to recognize Xu Qiansulai.

They quickly opened the door and asked, "Why didn't Mr. Xu come back with the army?"

"Thinking that my companion might still be alive, I couldn't bear to go out and look for it."

The guard nodded slightly. The reason was naturally plausible, and he warned, "It's dark and it's raining so hard. Be careful when you go back, sir...how about my two brothers giving you a ride?"

"No, I appreciate the kindness..." Xu Qiansu smiled, declined the guard's kindness, and then walked away.

As the night covered the sky of Qunqing Town, the lights of thousands of families were slowly lit up around thousands of houses and hundreds of squares.

Xu Qiansu stepped on the wet bluestone floor tiles and walked across the streets... Because of the heavy rain, there were no people on the street. The raindrops dripped on the umbrella, and then slid down the umbrella ribs, making a soft 'tick' sound.

Apart from the sound of his footsteps, there was only the sound of rain.

Being in Qunqing Town, Xu Qiansu naturally didn't need to use the waveguide to sense the surroundings all the time... After all, it was very exhausting. He went out and searched all day, and he was already a little tired.

Wipe—————

Xu Qiansu suddenly stopped and stopped in place. Is this... the sound of a sharp weapon rubbing against the floor tiles?

Tick ​​tock tick tock————

In the night, there was only the sound of rain in an instant.

The moment he stomped his feet, the strange sound disappeared.

Xu Qiansu did not hesitate to spread the power of the waveguide to the surroundings. In the distant couple's room, whispers, children's cries and even the soft sound of burning firewood could be heard clearly. Thousands of words were heard in one ear, but there was no confusion at all. Clearly organized... Immediately, Xu Qiansu suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head to look at a dark alley not far away, fell silent for a while, and said in a low voice:

"You... deliberately making noise to attract my attention?"

The voice fell, and the dark alley was silent.

After a while, there was a faint sound of footsteps, and a figure appeared in the rain under the night.

Wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, he couldn't see his face clearly. He was holding a long knife, and the raindrops slid down from the blade.

Xu Qiansu knew his identity well, or in other words, he had met him once.

No matter how the face is fabricated, how the figure is disguised, the only thing that remains the same is the waveguide.

The person who came obviously knew Xu Qiansu's identity, otherwise he would not have made a noise on purpose to let Xu Qiansu notice.

This means that the grievances and grievances between the two are over, and the next step is... each according to his own ability.

Xu Qiansu's footsteps moved slightly, facing the coir raincoat not far away, he said flatly: "This kind of weather is not suitable for running around with it."

The coir raincoat didn't answer, and stood motionless in the rain.

Da da----

The raindrops dripped on the long knife and the oiled paper umbrella, making a crisp sound.

Soroya huddled in Xu Qiansu's collar, not daring to take a breath.

The big wine-red eyes of the rattan snake were full of coldness, and two rattan whips protruded slowly from its neck, ready to attack at any time.

An oppressive and dull atmosphere surrounds it.

tread.

The coir raincoat suddenly raised the long knife, and the blade slid across the raindrops, making a slightly different sound of raindrops colliding with the raindrops just now.

At this moment, Xu Qiansu took a step back, closed the oil-paper umbrella, turned his wrist slightly, and in the next moment, a long knife appeared on the umbrella bone.

Looking along the hilt of the knife, one can see that the veins on the palm of its owner are bulging.

Sa!

The coir raincoat's excessive speed drove the surrounding raindrops, shooting out one by one, and slapping Xu Qiansu's face.

Juli came from his wrist, and at this moment the distance was so close that Xu Qiansu could even see some stubble on the coir raincoat's chin.

His expression remained unchanged, but he suddenly opened the oil-paper umbrella.

The coir raincoat was slightly taken aback, only Xu Qiansu's oil-paper umbrella was left in his sight,

call out!

In the next moment, I saw two vine whips slamming through the umbrella, like a poisonous snake spitting out its core, and like an arrow leaving the string, it shot at the face and chest of the coir raincoat under the rain.

With the physical strength of a human being, if he was hit by a cane whip of this strength, he would definitely end up being penetrated on the spot.

But the coir raincoat just flipped the blade with his wrist, silently, but appeared in front of his chest instantly.

Clank!

When the long knife touched the rattan whip, there was a crisp sound of gold and iron joining.

Sparks flickered slightly, illuminating the dark and resolute face under the hat of the coir raincoat.

Yes, both Xu Qiansu and the coir raincoat understand that there is no need to say much at this moment, because if you say a thousand, you can say ten thousand, but it is just a sentence of "fate is impermanent".
