Half an hour later.
After finishing his run, Gu Ling returned home.
Seeing Xiang Jinli taking out new dishes and chopsticks from the disinfection cabinet, she walked over quickly.
Gu Ling saw the porridge that had just been cooked in the kitchen, so he brought the rice cooker for cooking porridge to the dining table, and said as if chatting about his family: "Second Aunt, we residents of Ping'an Town, didn't we live here before?" Living on that island on the other side of the sea?”
"Yes." Xiang Jinli placed the new bowls and chopsticks on the table: "Decades ago, the residents of Pingan Town still lived on a nearby island. Later, due to the migration of sea animals, more and more people Many pet animals have made their homes in the nearby waters, and the government moved all the people here for the safety of the island residents."
"Gradually, no one lives on the island over there."
Gu Ling pondered in his heart.
That year, my grandfather went to see the sea every day... Was he looking in the direction of the island?
Does he want to go to the island?
Gu Ling expressed his thoughts.
When Xiang Jinli heard this, she also felt that it made some sense: "Maybe it's true. Considering the age of Mr. Nian, he was probably around ten years old when the island residents immigrated. Alas... time flies. so fast."
"Almost all the people who lived on the island in Ping'an Town in the early years have passed away one after another. Few people will remember that the residents of Ping'an Town once lived on the island."
While talking, Gu Zhou yawned and went downstairs: "Gu Ling, why did you get up so early?"
Xiang Jinli subconsciously snarled: "Do you think everyone is like you and gets lazy when the holidays come? Xiao Ling went out for a run and exercise early in the morning."
Regarding his mother's nagging, Gu Zhou always listened in one ear and out the other. He sat down at the dining table and looked around, but he didn't see Gu Ya.
"Where's sister?"
When he was upstairs just now, Gu Zhou knocked on Gu Ya's door, but there was no one inside.
"Your sister just went out to buy something." Xiang Jinli explained.
"What are you buying..."
As soon as Gu Zhou muttered, Gu Ya's figure appeared from the door, holding a bag of medicines in her hand.
Gu Ya walked in and put the bag in her hand on the coffee table in the living room: "I went to the pet pharmacy to buy some medicine. Aren't you going to have a pet battle later? There is no pet medical center in the town. You guys Just remember to stop the battle. If your pet is injured, just make do with these medicines first."
After putting down the bag, Gu Ya walked over.
"Sister Yaya, you are so thoughtful for Gu Zhou." Gu Ling couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"that is……"
Gu Zhou nodded subconsciously and suddenly realized something was wrong. He turned around and glared at Gu Ling: "Gu Ling, what do you mean by this?"
What does it mean to be so considerate in helping him?
This guy doesn't even have to pretend anymore. He's so arrogant. You're sure he will lose, right?
"It's not interesting? I just care about you." Gu Ling filled half a bowl of lean meat porridge, then picked up a meat bun, bit into it, and narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.
"Second Aunt, the buns you make are still so delicious."
When Xiang Jinli heard this, she smiled brightly: "Really? I haven't made it for a long time, and I'm a little bit raw. If it's delicious, just eat more."
Gu Zhou grinded his teeth, picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth with an angry expression, then chewed it viciously, as if he was eating someone's meat.
"Gu Ling, finish your breakfast quickly! Then let's go to the battle!" Gu Zhou didn't believe it. The Stubborn Stone had attribute advantages and couldn't defeat a mere thunder-marked cat.
"Okay, okay." Gu Ling nodded indifferently, picked up a bun with chopsticks, then placed it in front of Xianjiu and shook it.
Xianjiu was sitting next to the dining table, holding the edge of the rice bowl with his two paws, and sucking the lean meat porridge in the bowl with his small mouth. After a while, it reached the bottom.
Seeing the fragrant meat buns appearing in front of him, Xianjiu subconsciously used his telekinesis to control the buns to float to his mouth, then "ouch" and bite into the buns.
Gu Ling was holding the bun with his hand, so from the perspective of Gu Ya and the others, it was Gu Ling who was holding the bun and feeding it to Xianjiu.
"Don't be lazy, just take it and eat it yourself." Gu Ling poked Xianjiu's little paw with his other hand and winked at Xianjiu.
It's not a big secret that Xianjiu has super powers. Even if Second Aunt and the others find out, it'll be fine.
The main reason is that he hasn't played against Gu Zhou yet. If he knew about it in advance and noticed something fishy, he might just cheat and not fight.
Gu Ling didn't want to just throw away the pocket money that was almost in his mouth.
"Miwu~" Xianjiu pouted, reluctantly holding the bun with her paws and continuing to nibble.
Xiang Jinli glanced at Xianjiu's rice bowl, which was about to bottom out, and was a little surprised: "Xianjiu finished eating so quickly?"
Gu Ya's Hunting Feather Bird and Gu Zhou's Stubborn Stone don't like eating human food very much. They usually eat special pet food. After returning home from shopping last night, the two pet animals were let out. Stay in the backyard.
When Xiang Jinli was preparing breakfast, she went to the backyard and poured the food of the two beasts into their respective rice bowls. She was also having breakfast in the backyard.
"...I didn't expect Xianjiu to like eating human food. Do you want another bowl?"
Hearing this, the Xianjiu cat's pupils brightened slightly, and the cat's tail behind it swayed happily: "Miwu~"
Auntie~ I want more (≧≦)~
"Second Aunt, I'll just come and do it."
Gu Ling rubbed Xianjiu's head heavily.
Xianjiu really doesn’t see outsiders.
This is only the second day, and he is so good at pleasing his second aunt.
…
After finishing breakfast, the battle between Gu Ling and Gu Zhou could finally begin.
There is no formal battle field in the town. If you go outside to fight on the roadside, the aftermath of the pet beast's skills will easily hurt passers-by.
So, Gu Ling and Gu Zhou discussed it and decided to fight in the backyard.
In the backyard.
Xiang Jinli planted a lot of fruit trees in the early years. Even though she has moved to Yangxi County now, she is still used to coming back every few months to take care of the fruit trees, spraying them with pesticides to eliminate insects and the like.
In the past two days, Xiang Jinli even dug up the soil in the corner of the wall and gathered a small area to plant vegetables. The treasure was incredible.
"You guys are fighting, but don't destroy the flowers and plants in the yard." Gu Ya reminded.
"I know, I know, I'm sensible."
Gu Zhou called over Stubborn Stone, who was hiding under the tree to enjoy the shade: "Stubborn Stone, come here, come here."
On the tree, the hunting bird was combing its hair, blinking its eyes flexibly, staring at the battle that was about to begin under the tree.
At this time, Gu Ling was thinking in his mind, which skill and move should he use to defeat the Stubborn Stone?
But don't seriously injure the stubborn stone, otherwise it will also be a waste of medicine.
Forget it, let Xianjiu play freely.
"Xianjiu, you can have fun with this game as long as you like." Gu Ling said.
"Miwu~"
Xianjiu stood up subconsciously, puffed out his chest, pretended to be inscrutable, and moved his head bit by bit.
Don't worry, beastmaster~ I will be merciful.
"...Too arrogant!"
Gu Zhou, who heard everything, grinded his teeth, but a sense of crisis gradually arose in his heart.
According to his understanding of Gu Ling, he couldn't be so arrogant unless he was 100% sure.
After the battle began, Xianjiu first used Lightning Flash and attacked in the direction of the Stubborn Stone.
"Stubborn stone, use it to harden!"
[Hardening]: A normal skill that uses the whole body to harden the body, thereby improving one's own defense.
Comparing speed with the Thunder Seal Cat, Gu Zhou knew that he was no match, so he chose to brake quietly and wait for the Thunder Seal Cat to get close before taking action.
On the way, the figure of the Immortal Nine began to split into six, and the six 'Xianjiu' all dispersed and continued to attack the stubborn stone in different directions.
Stubborn Stone placed a pair of stone hands in front of him, making a gesture of resistance.
One after another, the Nine Immortals bumped into the stubborn stones. The stubborn stones were about to reach out to grab them, but they all failed.
These are all clones.
The real Xianjiu had quietly slipped to the side of the stubborn stone, and then bumped into it heavily.
boom!
The heavy stubborn stone was knocked away.
"what happened?"
After seeing the Stubborn Stone being knocked out by Xianjiu, Gu Zhou's face was full of disbelief: "...Why do you think Gu Ling's Thunder Seal Cat's attack power is so strong?"
Gu Ling originally thought that Stubborn Stone would be able to catch this move with lightning flash, and then he could counterattack.
But Xianjiu first used the shadow clone to interfere, making Stubborn Stone unable to determine which one was the real Xianjiu. Now the power of the lightning flash was far beyond Gu Zhou's calculation, catching him off guard.
Since passive defense doesn't work, Gu Zhou can only choose to actively attack: "Stubborn Stone, use rolling!"
[Rolling]: Rock-type skill, use five rolling attacks in a row. Each time it hits the opponent, the power will gradually increase.
After Stubborn Stone stood up from the ground, he hugged his face with both hands, and his whole body formed into a stone ball, rolling out in the direction of Xianjiu.
"Gu Ling, you have to be careful. The rolling attack of the Stubborn Stone is very powerful."
As soon as Gu Zhou finished this reminder, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Xian Jiu showed no signs of evading, and his two cat eyes were staring straight at the rolling stubborn stone.
Gu Ling's face remained calm and calm.
"What's going on... Damn it!"
Xianjiu's cat tail lit up with a steely white light. The soft tail instantly hardened. He pulled away and flicked it, and the iron tail hit the stubborn stone that was rolling towards him.
The stubborn stone that was rolling at high speed stopped rolling abruptly because of this iron tail strike.
"Miwu~"
Xian Jiu Nai screamed fiercely, and then Iron Tail continued to exert force, knocking the stubborn stone away.
A perfect parabola is born.
"Don't, don't, don't..."
Looking at the stubborn stone flying towards him, Gu Zhou's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly chose to squat down with his head in his hands.
With a "swish" sound, the stubborn stone flew over Gu Zhou's head, but hit the vegetable garden behind, crushing a large piece of vegetable leaves.
Seeing this scene, Gu Ya's expression changed: "Too bad."
Gu Ling and Gu Zhou, who were belatedly aware of this, were stunned when they saw the ruined vegetable garden.
Gu Ya shouted anxiously: "What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and help the vegetable seedlings up! These are the vegetable seedlings that my mother just borrowed from Aunt Li's house two days ago. They are so precious recently..."
Hearing this, Gu Ling and Gu Zhou immediately ran over and squatted on the vegetable field, holding the vegetable seedlings with their hands in an attempt to straighten them.
When Stubborn Stone and Xianjiu saw how nervous the beast master was, they followed suit and ran over to help up the nearest vegetable seedling with their hands.
"Quick, quick...add some soil to consolidate it..."
"The one over there has fallen..."
"What should I do if the one here is broken? Can I bury it in the soil and pretend not to know?"
"..."
While the three of them were hurriedly trying various remedies, a voice like a spring breeze suddenly came from behind: "...Of course not, otherwise I would also like to bury you all in the soil and pretend you never existed. "
The three of them froze and turned their heads mechanically——
Xiang Jinli put her hands on her hips, and although she was smiling, her face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and she stared at the three of them with evil eyes.
The three of them were shocked.
As for the culprits, Gu Zhou and Gu Ling, a thought flashed through their minds at the same time:
It's over.
…
ten minutes later.
In the living room.
Xiang Jinli was sitting on the sofa, holding a feather duster in her right hand. She was patting the palm of her left hand rhythmically. Her eyes were fixed on Gu Ling and Gu Ling who were busy cleaning in the living room. Two people in the boat.
Gu Zhou held a dustpan in his left hand and a broom in his right hand, carefully sweeping the floor in the living room, determined not to let go of the dust in every corner.
Gu Ling held a wet rag in his hand and was constantly wiping the glass of the window. Whenever he encountered a stain, he wanted to rub it back and forth hundreds of times until the glass became clean and translucent.
As the eldest sister of the two, Gu Ya was standing next to Xiang Jinli, gently kneading Xiang Jinli's shoulders and massaging her neck.
Gu Ya said she was helpless about the fate of her younger siblings.
In Xiang Jinli's arms, Xianjiu huddled up, like a soft marshmallow.
"Meow~" Xianjiu blinked the cat's eyes, and the cat's tail kept swaying around. Even though the hair on his body exploded after being ravaged by Xiang Jinli, he still didn't dare to move.
On the side, Stubborn Shi was holding a teapot with both hands. Xiang Jinli glanced over and immediately poured tea into the empty cup on the coffee table, and then held the cup in front of Xiang Jinli.
After Xiang Jinli took a sip of tea, she placed the cup on the coffee table. The crisp sound made the three of them dare not speak out, and they all tried their best to reduce their presence.
Xiang Jinli sighed softly.
Once a naughty child is quiet, don't doubt it, he is definitely doing bad things secretly!
"Gu Zhou, take out your game console."
Wasn't it just for a game console that she destroyed her vegetable garden?
Ha~ Then she will confiscate it.
"Ah?!" Gu Zhou, who was sweeping the floor, looked up in shock.
Xiang Jinli's eyes flew over: "Ah what? Gu Zhou, do you have any objections? How dare you secretly use your living expenses to buy a game console? You think the living expenses are too much, right?"
"No, no, no!"
Gu Zhou shook his head repeatedly to deny it, but he was a little unwilling to do so and quickly glanced at Gu Ling.
Gu Zhou: Can you say something?
Gu Ling: What did you say? I dare not say anything...
Gu Zhou: Isn’t my mother always the one who loves you the most? If you act like a baby, won't the game console come back?
Gu Ling: Good idea, then why don’t you act like a baby? The game console is yours, not mine.
Gu Zhou: I think so! But my mother doesn’t like to see me acting coquettishly! She thought it was more like the cry of a circus monkey...
Gu Ling: Pfft...
