Late at night, Qingxi Village.
Under the starlight and bright moonlight, Qian Fugui sat at the wooden table under the eaves.
On the table were a bottle of rice wine, a plate of peanuts, and a half-eaten piece of pie - looking up at the stars.
Many people are not used to this kind of special grilled pouch with fish head inserted on the dough, but Mr. Qian thinks it is very good to go with wine, especially at this moment.
——The roasted and crispy fish tastes unique when you stare at the bright stars in the sky.
After taking a sip of rice wine, Old Man Qian looked at Guai Li across the table. The latter looked at the grilled fish head bag that was handed to him and shook his head, and then got back into the Poké Ball with a whoosh.
Old Man Qian shook his head and drank the rice wine in one gulp: "On such a happy day, you won't drink two more glasses with me."
Seeing the strange force escaping back to the Poké Ball, Old Man Qian was not disappointed. He took off the small fish from the grilled bag, put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully. Then he looked at the heavy black stone in the center of the courtyard and fell into memories.
"Grandpa, grandpa, I still can't figure out why you chose this kind of life, and you also asked me to be an ordinary person."
"Having something but choosing not to own it is ultimately different from never having it..."
"Forget it, stop saying these disappointing things."
"I have good news for you. The elf center in Qingxi Village has officially started construction today. It is said that it will be built within a month."
"The only thing left to do now is to open a gym. With a gym and an elf center, Qingxi Village will definitely become better and better. Even if it encounters a chaotic elf tide again, it will have some power to protect itself, so that it will not be like ten years ago. Like before."
"As for the candidate for the gym leader, I was more optimistic about Lin Tong at first. However, Lin Tong and Qian Erniu have both awakened their special abilities, so it is probably difficult for them to come back..."
"For the rest, I had some thoughts about Mark some time ago, so I gave him a coward egg. I thought he would submit a breeding report to Dr. Locke in three years so that Dr. Locke could give him some advice. Let's see. For your sake, Dr. Locke should be able to help.”
"But damn, this kid hasn't been seen for ten whole days... No, including tonight, he hasn't been seen for eleven days..."
Old Man Qian poured a glass of wine a little irritably and drank it all in one gulp.
Mark, a brat who doesn't make people worry, feels a pain in his head every time he thinks about it these days.
Mark is a bad guy. He is serious about learning and has a unique understanding of elf training. The method of letting green caterpillars learn mathematics even made him feel amazing. He is also extremely diligent in training elf on weekdays.
The green caterpillar that partners with Mark is even more sensible and obedient, and has a very good talent, and the future is promising.
In addition, Mark is also very filial. Ever since he became enlightened, he would bring him some wild fruits every time he came back from the forest.
Overall, the advantages are many.
However, Mark's shortcomings are also obvious.
That means being disobedient.
The bug-catching boys in the village talked back to him openly, but Mark, the boy, promised him openly, but actually didn't listen at all.
I asked Mark to take a proper rest while working, but Mark promised and continued to practice hard. He asked Mark to go to school every day, but after just one day of school, he chose to study on his own and never went to school again. He asked Mark to go to school every day. That kid learned to make money on his own, but after so many days, he didn't catch a single wild green caterpillar. It was in vain that he kindly planned to fund half of the green caterpillar's Poké Ball expenses...
Of course, these are not the point. The point is that he clearly told Mark to come back often, but this kid has not been seen for eleven days!
Old Man Qian rubbed his temples, and in a daze, he seemed to hear Mark's voice.
"Green caterpillars, tell them to move more gently. The village chief may have fallen asleep at this time..."
Old Man Qian frowned and looked at the gate of the courtyard. He saw the gate slightly opened a gap, and a green caterpillar crawled in. It was Mark's green caterpillar.
Compared to how it looked in memory, the green caterpillar seemed to have grown a lot bigger.
"Hiss!"
While thinking about it, the green caterpillar had noticed him, and then ran towards him very excitedly, and even rubbed its head against his thigh, looking extremely happy and excited.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
The green caterpillar made continuous sounds and gestures with its legs.
Old Man Qian quickly understood what he meant: "You mean, you have learned to count backwards and can write on the ground with a wooden stick, and you want to write it to me now?"
"Hiss!"
The green caterpillar was about to find a wooden stick to write numbers on the ground and get the elf ball promised by old man Qian, but suddenly he heard the owner's voice from behind.
"Green Caterpillar, how can you be so eager to ask for rewards as soon as you meet..."
"Hmph! What's the matter with asking for rewards? Unlike some elf masters, their elf has worked so hard, but as the master, he doesn't care at all. Others don't care. You are as strong as little Kentero. I don’t believe you haven’t been able to catch a wild green caterpillar for so many days.”
Hearing Mark's voice, Old Man Qian was furious and immediately became angry.
He lowered his head and first touched the green caterpillar's head to comfort him, and then planned to continue to speak and educate Mark, who had not been seen for eleven days.
Then, Old Man Qian was stunned.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at the half bottle of rice wine left on the table to make sure he didn't drink too much. Then he pinched himself to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.
Through the bright starlight, he not only saw Mark at the door, but also saw a dozen green caterpillars near Mark.
Moreover, more green caterpillars continue to enter the gate of the courtyard.
The slap in the face came so quickly. One second he was obviously complaining about Mark not paying attention to the Poké Ball that the green caterpillars longed for and not catching wild green caterpillars to make money. The next second Mark brought so many wild green caterpillars. caterpillar.
Of course, these are not the main points.
The point is, how did Mark do it?
It’s okay to catch ten or eight green caterpillars with a net bag, but what’s going on with bringing back dozens of them at once?
Moreover, it seems that these green caterpillars were not forcibly captured by Mark, one by one. They took the initiative to enter the courtyard. Although they were a bit messy, they generally maintained a certain order.
Soon, as the last green caterpillar entered the courtyard, Mark closed the door.
Before Old Man Qian could speak, Mark took the initiative and said: "I'm sorry, Uncle... Third, I have troubled you. Actually, the reason why I haven't come back for so many days is because the Green Caterpillar and I recently had a special training in the forest, and the results were pretty good. , so there is no way to run around the village and forest and never come back.”
Hearing Mark's words, the green caterpillar on the side nodded repeatedly.
"Hiss, hiss!"
The green caterpillar posed and showed off its muscles. After these practical trainings, it felt that it had made great progress.
"I just know how to speak for your master!" Old Man Qian gently tapped the green caterpillar's head with his hand, and turned to look at Mark: "Forget it, Mark, why did you bring these green caterpillars? It should be There are more than a hundred of them, right?”
