When we have a common secret, the distance between people will naturally become closer.
This is the case with Mark and Old Man Qian.
When Mark took the initiative to expose his [Power of Clear Creek], and when Old Man Qian exposed the basement of his home, the relationship between the two was no longer a simple elder and junior, but became a pair of friends who have been together forever.
Old Man Qian no longer acted like an elder as before, and would organize words to squeeze Mark from time to time.
Mark would occasionally joke with Old Man Qian and make a few innocuous little jokes.
In the early morning, old man Qian was sleeping soundly in his room after a busy day, while Mark and the green caterpillar had just completed their morning exercise and returned from the forest.
Specifically, I danced a natural dance in the forest for dozens of minutes, picked wild fruits on the way back, and tested the multiplication table of the green caterpillar.
Normally, Mark would not disturb Uncle Qian's rest out of politeness, but at this time, the relationship between the two is no longer what it used to be.
Mark patted Uncle Qian on the shoulder. The latter rolled over on the bed as if he had a nightmare, muttering "I won't jump anymore, I won't even jump to death", and then he suddenly opened his eyes.
Realizing that it was Mark, old man Qian rolled his eyes, turned around and closed his eyes again.
Just yesterday evening, he followed Mark to Qingxi Forest with doubts. After Mark corrected with the green caterpillar for more than three hours, he finally completed the dance related to the forest.
After completing the dance, he vaguely felt a certain connection between the forest and nature.
Of course, that's not the point.
The point is that after this dance, he felt like all the bones in his body were falling apart.
This kind of dance is obviously not something he can bear at his age.
"Third Uncle, didn't you agree yesterday that you would plant the first batch of trees in the village today? You also contacted Lin Erniu and asked him to bring some plant elves from the tomato garden to assist in the planting. I don't have anything to do, but still It’s better not to let Lin Erniu wait too long.”
"Hiss, hiss!"
The green caterpillar on the side also tried to persuade Mr. Qian.
The old man Qian who was lying on the bed suddenly stood up and glared at Mark and the green caterpillar. He noticed that the man and the green caterpillar looked as usual and curled his lips.
Old Man Qian said angrily: "I think you're just teasing me on purpose. You usually disappear easily and can't be found. Now you want to boss the old man around, so you stay here on purpose. Huh, go and give me the jar of Moo Moo Fresh Milk on the table." Bring it!”
When Mark saw this, he immediately handed over the milk on the table.
After taking a few sips, Old Man Qian felt that the soreness in his body had recovered a little and he had regained some of his energy, so he took another sip, then licked the milk stains on his lips with his tongue and burped.
Old Man Qian glanced at Mark indifferently, curled his lips, then looked at the green caterpillar staring at him intently, and took another sip.
Old Man Qian looked at the drooling green caterpillar and said, "Speaking of which, this moo moo milk is really delicious and rich in trace elements needed by many elves. I originally planned to prepare a box for you, but because One of your troublesome masters is gone!"
As he spoke, Old Man Qian took out the elf ball beside the bed, released his strange power, and handed the half-drunk Moo Moo Fresh Milk into his hand.
"Your brain is not working very well, so I'll give you the remaining half a can of Moo Moo Milk, just in time to replenish your brain!"
Guai Li took the Moo Moo Milk in confusion, scratched his head, and saw the green caterpillar looking at him pitifully, so he handed over the Moo Moo Milk.
The green caterpillar did not ask for it, but continued to look at Old Man Qian with a pleading look.
After being stared at pitifully by the green caterpillar for a while, Old Man Qian couldn't resist in the end. He twisted open the jar of low milk and handed it to the green caterpillar: "Drink, drink, learn more about your master's advantages, don't always Learn from your master's shortcomings and follow your master to make noises when nothing happens, which will not make people worry."
After Old Man Qian finished speaking, he glanced at Mark again.
Seeing that Mark still looked cute and smiling, he snorted angrily and said, "Okay, okay, there are dozens of cans of Moo Moo Milk in the cupboard. If you're hungry, you can go there yourself." Take it, and drink some of it too for your coward. It’ll be good for it.”
Mark nodded slightly, and while checking the rate at which the green caterpillar's experience bar increased after drinking Moo Moo's fresh milk, he asked, "Has the big milk can from the Elf Center been delivered?"
Old Man Qian did not hide anything and said: "Well, three big milk cans have been delivered, one auspicious egg and one happy egg each. It is said that a supporting breeding house will be built next to the elf center. No one is managing these days. I basically handle the milk in the milk tank.
You still have your elves who want to drink, so drink as much as you can now. After the Elf Center officially opens, you may not have this opportunity.
By the way, don’t drink all of it, leave some for the children in the village. "
Mark nodded, and without being polite to Old Man Qian, he took half of the Moo Mo Fresh Milk in the cupboard and put it in his backpack.
Old Man Qian looked at Mark packing his backpack and suddenly felt inexplicable and said, "When will you leave?"
"Um?"
Seeing the confused expression on Mark's face, Old Man Qian said: "It's just traveling, traveling and exploring all over the world. There are still three months until the Elf Academy starts, but you won't really wait that long, right?"
Whether it was Maps two hundred years ago or his grandfather, they had traveled around the world when they were young, and he felt that Mark was similar.
Thinking about it carefully, Old Man Qian felt a little disappointed for no reason.
He is already old, and I wonder if he can still see Mark when he returns next time.
In addition, although Mark possesses the "Power of Clear Creek" and the green caterpillar has the potential of a master elf, the process of redeeming the potential is full of twists and turns. He really doesn't know how far Mark can go.
In his sight, Mark tilted his head towards him, with a somewhat puzzled expression on his face.
Then he saw Mark say: "Why do you want to travel around the world?"
"You always disappear, don't you plan to travel?"
Mark didn't hide anything and spoke out his future plans: "I don't have such plans at the moment, and I may not have any in the future. My idea for the future is to find ways to expand the scope of Qingxi Forest and increase the power of Qingxi. 】Theoretical upper limit, even if we need to travel in the future, the distance traveled will also depend on the range of the flying elf. It can be considered a short-term trip, and you will be back in a few days."
Old Man Qian raised his eyebrows and said, "You said you wanted to go to school before, and I thought you wanted to go to school while traveling. Doesn't that mean you don't plan to leave Qingxi Village? Then if I plan to open a gym in Qingxi Village, you will also Will you stay and help?”
Mark pinched his chin lightly: "My current plans for the future have no ideas related to the gym, but if you need it, Uncle San, I can help."
Old Man Qian stared at Mark for a while, then suddenly reached out and patted Mark on the shoulder.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Although he guessed that Mark would most likely disappear and no one could be found, he still felt very happy.
"Then let's go and plant trees. I want to see how much change it will have on the village if it is integrated into Qingxi Forest..."
