Chapter 278 Muguang Forest Notebook
March 14th.
Swish swish swish.
The heavy object pressed against the fallen leaves, making a slight sound.
The gentle sunlight shines through the branches and leaves, casting patches of shade. Under the sunlight, some dust floats randomly in the air.
call----
From time to time, a few steel-armored crows flew across the sky, making loud cries.
Mugan Town is located southeast of Cuixue Town, so according to Xu Qiansu's previous route of action...he has never been to the north of Cuixue Town.
However, it is still within the scope of Muguang Forest at this moment.
Lillie held Bai Huanghuang with one hand, and subconsciously held the shoulder strap of her backpack with the other hand. Her jewel-like emerald eyes looked here and there curiously.
Although all the forests in the world basically look the same, Lillie always has the natural curiosity of a girl when it comes to the Muguang Forest, which she has never been to before.
Moreover, he was still traveling with Xu Qiansu.
Lillie thought about this, and her big emerald green eyes quietly moved forward, aiming at Xu Qiansu who was walking in front of her.
After looking at him for a while, Lillie subconsciously stretched out her hand to straighten her blond hair that hung down to her waist, and then trotted to Xu Qiansu's side.
Ma Li was a few steps behind Xu Qiansu and was looking at the map with her illustrated book. When she saw this, she raised her eyes and looked at Lillie, then looked away.
"Gardevoir?" Before Xu Qiansu could do anything, Gardevoir, who was walking beside Xu Qiansu, looked at Lillie first and tilted her face.
Being in the wild, Xu Qiansu didn't need to take the Pokémon back into the Poké Balls. Naturally, they were all left outside.
Xu Qiansu turned her head and looked at Lillie, "What's wrong?"
What's wrong... Lillie had nothing to do, she just mustered up the courage to find a topic to talk to Xu Qiansu.
However, being looked at by Xu Qiansu and his Pokémon made her obviously feel a little embarrassed, so she pursed her lips for a while before asking in a low voice: "You and Ma Li have both decided to challenge the gym, and you have your own My goal... What does Mr. Xu think is more appropriate for me to do? Challenge the gym? Challenge the glamor contest, or become a Pokémon performer like Serena..."
In fact, Lillie is not very confused about her future...Whether it is challenging gyms, gorgeous contests, or being a Pokémon performer, Lillie is not very interested.
Lillie just wanted to travel around the world with her Pokémon, that's all... But when it came to finding a topic, Lillie thought it would be more natural to seek Xu Qiansu's opinion.
Xu Qiansu looked away from Lillie's face, thought for a while, and then replied: "You should discuss this matter with your Pokémon."
Lillie was slightly startled and turned her head to stare at Xu Qiansu's side face.
"Whether it's challenging the gym, competing in the glamor contest, or becoming a Pokémon performer, Pokémon are inseparable... so I also have to take care of their dreams?" she said.
Xu Qiansu nodded slightly and smiled again, "That's correct."
The breeze in the forest blew by, and Lillie's blond hair hanging around her waist fluttered in the wind.
Lillie reached out and pressed her long hair that was blown by the wind, and stopped talking. Instead, she took out a white ribbon from her pocket, put it down, took her blond hair with both hands, and tied it into a high ponytail.
"What does dream mean?" The little marsupial was staring at Xu Qiansu's steps, and followed his steps with its short legs.
Xu Qiansu took a step, and she took a step.
But with her short legs, she always lags behind.
However, as long as she was half a meter behind, she would trot to keep up with Xu Qiansu, and then follow Xu Qiansu's steps.
Hearing this, she raised her little head, looked at Gardevoir who was closest to her, and asked curiously.
"Ah?" Gardevoir looked down at the little marsupial, thought for a while, and then explained, "It's just what I want to do."
"What I want to do... I want to eat two bowls of rice tonight." The little marsupial covered his face and said with hope, "I wonder if I can realize this dream?"
"Hmm..." Gardevoir thought for a while, always suspecting that there was something wrong with the little marsupial's statement, but it seemed to be right.
Although Gardevoir is smart, he is not old, has little experience, and lacks corresponding understanding of certain things.
"Dreams refer to lofty goals." Vulpix glanced sideways at Gardevoir, as if he were looking at an illiterate, and then tilted his head and explained to the small marsupial.
"Yuan Da?" The little marsupial nodded his chin and asked curiously, "Then I hope to have two bowls of rice tomorrow. Is that just a dream?"
"It's better to be able to eat two bowls of rice every day." The Vine Snake was sitting on Xu Qiansu's shoulders, squinting his eyes to enjoy the sunshine. After hearing this, he finally couldn't help but say.
"Why?" The little marsupial clicked its chin, raised its little face and looked at the vine snake, and asked curiously.
Even if it is as cold as a vine snake, it will not use a bad attitude when facing a small marsupial.
However, Vine Snake didn't quite understand. She was just a little green snake, and often couldn't understand humans' complex thoughts and the words they created. She thought about it and said, "Because this goal is very long, very far away. It’s hard to achieve.”
The small marsupial looked at the vine snake with its big black and translucent eyes... obviously he didn't understand.
In the end, Zoroa, who walked side by side with Vulpix, answered the small marsupial's question.
"Because there are still many humans and Pokémon who can't even eat...so the daily life you take for granted now is actually their dream.
"Well..." The little marsupial tilted its head. She still didn't understand, but after saying so much, she also had her own understanding.
"What is difficult to realize is a dream?" She tilted her head and asked.
Soraya nodded slightly, "That's right."
"Oh... That Susu's dream is my dream. I hope I can make it easier for him to realize his dream." The little marsupial chuckled.
Soraya glanced at her, then raised his face and looked at Xu Qiansu... Xu Qiansu's hands were empty now...
She immediately took the lead and jumped lightly into Xu Qiansu's arms.
Xu Qiansu subconsciously reached out to catch her, "Are you tired from walking?"
Soraya didn't say anything, but just slipped into Xu Qiansu's arms, changed into a comfortable position, and then closed his eyes, his fluffy and soft tail swaying gently, full of comfort.
Xu Qiansu smiled and stroked Zoroa's soft fur.
It's plush and feels great to the touch.
Vulpix glanced at Zoroa and thought that this fox had indeed changed and was really scheming.
Gardevoir directly looked away, not looking at Soraya... He didn't want to see it. Who told her that after she evolved, she would no longer be able to shrink into Xu Qiansu's arms? The more I watched, the angrier I became.
Xu Qiansu slowed down, came to Ma Li's side, tilted her head and asked, "How long will it take to reach Jiqing City?"
Ma Li looked at the illustrated book without raising her head, and said calmly: "There is only one day left before we can leave Muguang Forest and reach the ruins of the watchtower. Then we can walk northeast for about...three days and we can reach the north shore of Yaya Lake...Ji Qing The city is just north of Yaya Lake."
"It's about five days' journey." Xu Qiansu pursed her lips and thought for a moment, but then she heard the sound of gurgling water... It was a creek.
He subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the sky, then took out his phone and looked at the time. It was thirteen o'clock...
"Let's eat first."
Ma Li nodded slightly, "You do it or should I do it?"
"I want to eat the curry made by Miss Ma Li." Xu Qiansu said with a smile.
Mali's cooking skills are very good, but her best dish is naturally Galar's specialty curry... The flavor is different every time Mali makes it, but it is unexpectedly delicious every time, so even if Xu Qiansu has already eaten Been there many times, but never tired of it.
After hearing this, Ma Li looked away from the illustrated book, slightly raised her eyes to look at Xu Qiansu, looked up and down, and then nodded slightly, "Then I want to eat fried rice for dinner."
"Okay." Xu Qiansu chuckled and looked at Lillie again, "What would Lillie want to eat tonight?"
"Ah? I, I can also cook!" Lillie was looking at Xu Qiansu and Ma Li in some trance. After hearing this, she suddenly came back to her senses and said this.
Xu Qiansu asked with a frivolous eyebrow, "Will Lillie do it with me tonight?"
"Eh? Huh? Uh-huh!" Lillie was stunned, and then nodded quickly, eager to express herself in front of Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu chuckled, then came to the river and took out the kitchen utensils from her backpack.
Ma Li stretched out her hand to tie her black hair into a neat and neat bun... She looked a bit like an extremely handsome boy, but if you looked closely, you could still see the feminine features in her soft facial features.
She came to Xu Qiansu and helped him prepare.
Lillie stood aside a little awkwardly, wanting to help, but she didn't know what she should do or what she could do.
Ma Li leaned over to help Xu Qiansu sort out the dishes, glanced at Lillie out of the corner of her eye, and then pointed at the marsupial standing by the river, carefully cleaning the small skull cap, and said: "The marsupial is careless and easy to lose. Please Lilialido, please look after her."
"Karu?" The little marsupial's small black ears moved slightly, its little face was tilted, and its small black and translucent eyes were full of confusion.
Huh? So I am a lost Pokémon who needs to be taken care of? But Ma Li had never spoken of her like this before.
The clear river water slowly washed away the little marsupial's skull cap. She decided not to think about such inexplicable things anymore and concentrated on cleaning her little cap.
It is unrealistic to expect Mary to take care of Lillie's emotions. She is not such a gentle person.
She said this, firstly, it made Lillie deeply realize the gap in tacit understanding between her, Ma Li and Xu Qiansu, and secondly... it was a little trick to make Xu Qiansu fall in love with her.
Anyway, even if Ma Li didn't say anything, Xu Qiansu would find some work for Lillie, so it would be better for Ma Li to take the initiative.
Judging from Cattleya and Mary's standards, the naive and simple Lillie... is actually a bit easy to bully.
However, Lillie did not feel disappointed. Instead, she jumped up behind the little marsupial and squatted down to chat with her cordially.
The small black ears of the little marsupial twitched.
Lillie couldn't help but reached out and pinched it gently, "This is the first time I've seen you take off the skull cap...it's so cute."
The little marsupial raised its little face slightly, feeling a little proud.
Mary looked away from Lillie, and some hints were indeed of no use to a little white flower like Lillie... But there was still a long time, and Mary was not in a hurry.
"Miss Ma Li can also be distracted?" Xu Qiansu's voice came next to her ears.
Ma Li stood up, looked at the kitchen utensils that had been prepared, nodded her chin and pondered for a moment, then asked Xu Qiansu, "What flavor do you want to eat?"
"Spicier?"
Ma Li nodded slightly.
Xu Qiansu looked at Lillie again and asked her if she could eat spicy food.
Can.
Xu Qiansu picked up the elf food and poured bowls of it for the Pokémon. In addition, there was Moo milk that the Pokémon drank every day.
One, two, three... Xu Qiansu's five, Miss Mary's four, Lillie's three, as well as Snow Demon Girl and three Dream Demons... There are all these, and there are actually sixteen Pokémon around them now. …
Xu Qiansu poured the elf food and counted the Pokémon's rice bowls...but Gardevoir didn't eat elf food.
She eats curry like Xu Qiansu.
The curling smoke carries the alluring aroma and floats slowly in the forest.
"Aww." The Vine Snake sat on Xu Qiansu's lap, holding a piece of cake in her little hands and biting it one bite after another.
After taking a bite, chewing and swallowing, she narrowed her big wine-red eyes in contentment, and then continued to bite, and so on.
She only ate half of her elf food before giving it all to Morubek.
Xu Qiansu scooped up a spoonful of curry and handed it to her mouth.
Vine Snake stretched out her pink little tongue and licked the cream at the corner of her mouth. She raised her face and glanced at Xu Qiansu before eating the curry Xu Qiansu handed her.
No reaction... It turns out that rattan snakes can eat spicy food.
Xu Qiansu couldn't help but stretched out her hand and scratched her chin.
"Chirp." The Vine Snake seemed to 'hum', and then jumped on Xu Qiansu's shoulders with a light jump. Then he sat down and continued eating the cake, with its maple leaf-like tail hanging behind Xu Qiansu.
Lillie sat aside, peeking secretly, and then scooped up a spoonful of curry and handed it to Bai Huanghuang's mouth.
Bai Huang shook his little head and refused to eat.
As an ice Pokémon, she doesn't like spicy food.
Then Shui Yueyu, who was sitting next to her, opened his big cute eyes and ate the curry in one bite... Her little face turned red instantly, but she remained expressionless.
Lillie blinked and looked at Shuiyueyu for a while, and then Shuiyueyu suddenly took a few steps back and looked at Curry, his expression showing a bit of fear.
Lillie was amused by the water leaping fish and handed her a glass of water.
After lunch, take a short lunch break.
Xu Qiansu sat by the river, dipping the brush in water from time to time, combing the fur and cleaning the bodies of Zoroa and Vulpix.
Ma Li sat next to him, holding needle and thread in her hand, embroidering something for Gardevoir's satchel.
The faint sunlight penetrated through the shade of the trees, passed through the two of them, and sprinkled on the flowing stream.
Lillie looked at the two of them sideways for a while, then took out a brush from her backpack, picked up Bai Huanghuang, and combed her fur like Xu Qiansu... The technique was very skillful, and Bai Huanghuang squinted her eyes, which was very comfortable.
After an hour's lunch break, we continued our journey.
Sixteen o'clock is already afternoon.
Passing by a bear's den.
Gardevoir happily snatched several berries from it.
This Pokémon has a bad temper and often bullied Gardevoir when she was still in her Larurus period, so Gardevoir naturally disliked it the most.
The circle bear chased after him angrily, and then Xu Qiansu gave it a can of elf food. It scratched its head and went home with the elf food in hand.
Gardevoir broke the pomelo fruit he grabbed into two halves, half for Xu Qiansu and half for himself.
Xu Qiansu took a bite, and the sweet juice filled his mouth, "It's so sweet."
he laughed.
Gardevoir held the pomelo fruit in his two hands and took a small bite, then his delicate and cute eyebrows slightly curved.
"So sweet."
