Adventurer of the Elven World

Chapter 137

At first glance, they looked like a family. Looking at the gingham spread on the ground, as well as the incubator and bamboo basket, they should have come for a family picnic.

When the man saw Xiu looking over, he waved at him, and Xiu subconsciously looked around, only to find that he was alone.

It seems that even the place he subconsciously chose is very remote.

Xiu also walked over strangely, and asked the man.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Hearing Xiu's voice, the little girl raised her head and glanced at him, but that expression was a little... careless.

"It's okay, I think you were alone just now, if you don't mind, let's sit together." The man took out a bottle of water from the incubator beside him and handed it to Xiu, "Come on, drink some water first and then talk."

"Uh... no need."

Xiu raised his hand and was about to evade it, but the man half got up and forced the water into his hand, and said something with a smile.

"Take it, it's too hot~"

Feeling the bursts of coldness coming from his hand, Xiu could only accept it with a smile.

"Thank you."

But before Xiu had any more reactions, the woman at the side took out a box from the basket and opened it, smiling at Xiu:
"We still have dim sum here, please try it if you don't mind."

When Xiu heard this, he looked at the two people in front of him strangely, why did he take care of him like this?

Xiu couldn't say anything, anyway, it was very strange.

"If you are not in a hurry, just sit down. There will be no such weather here in a few days. If you want to come to play next time, you have to wait until autumn."

Xiu was a little surprised by their words, since he had nothing to do at first, so he sat on the side and chatted with them.

"Is it because of the weather?"

"Uh...you can say that.

But there is a popular saying in our area, that is 'it is very violent to enter the summer forest'. "

Xiu listened to his words for a while, because there are grasslands here, no trees for shade, and the temperature can reach more than 30 degrees in midsummer when the sun is directly shining, no one will come here to suffer at that time, only the late spring and early summer and There is an environment for playing in autumn.

Another problem is that this is a suburb, and further east is Viki Forest.

The elves in the summer forest are very irritable and aggressive.

This kind of aggressiveness is not only manifested in the forest, there are also elves who often run to the suburbs. Almost every year during this time, you can hear the news of elves hurting people.

"Does the alliance not care?"

"Come on!" The man is also a very talkative personality, so he directly talked about this topic.

"Look at the houses over there, all of them are owned by the Alliance. At that time, the forest guards will withdraw from the forest to live there, and every summer the Alliance will organize trainers to strengthen patrols in the suburbs.

And us residents usually don't come here, and we will reopen here only at the end of autumn. "

Xiu heard a rare term, and asked curiously, "Forest guard?"

"That's right~ There are many rangers in the Viking Forest, but they will be temporarily withdrawn in the summer, and they will return to station in the fall. We in Viking City know this."

"Then why are they stationed in the Viridian Forest?"

"Because apart from cities like Tokiwa City, there are many nearby villages and towns that are not connected to the main road. Vehicles cannot enter and there are only small roads for people to pass. Therefore, forest rangers are needed to maintain these roads and at the same time know the situation in the forest. "

"What about the rangers pulling out of those towns?"

"It is the forest rangers who are going deeper, not to mention that the villages and towns that survive to the present are sure to be fine. They will find their own way out."

"..."

Xiu followed him to chat with him about the situation around Tokiwa City, and felt that it was right for him not to leave, otherwise he would not have known that there were so many things going on in Tokiwa City.

A Tokiwa City different from his impression was established in his mind.

As the man spoke, he asked curiously, "Little brother, are you a trainer?"

The current Poké Balls, whether they are the ordinary red and white balls of the Giant Pincer Mantis and Little Fortune, or the special balls used by Casey, do not have the function of shrinking. Three fist-sized Poké Balls are more or less conspicuous on the body.

But Xiu's Poké Ball is in a backpack, how does this person know his trainer?
Xiu did not deny it, but directly asked a question:
"Why do you say that?"

"Because when we talked about elves hurting people, your reaction was very ordinary, but for the questions just now, it is obviously your first time to visit Viridian City. If you put it all together, even if you are not a trainer, you are someone who has been in contact with elves."

"I'm a breeder~" Xiu said casually, with a somewhat casual tone.

It's just that the man suddenly said with some emotion:
"I also wanted to be a trainer back then, the adventure is so exciting, but..."

As he spoke, he looked at the gentle woman beside him, and his tone became gentle.

"It's a blessing in my life to meet you~"

The woman just smiled when she saw the man's situation, obviously it was not the first time she had heard this kind of words.

It's just that Xiu who was on the side couldn't catch him and was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, and didn't know what to say for a while.

After chatting with the middle-aged man, Xiu learned why their family came here.

The reason is very simple. Back then, when the middle-aged man hadn't made a fortune, the family conditions were very average, but he fell in love with the boss's daughter, and what's amazing is that he really hooked up.

It's just that this matter was exposed very quickly. Of course, this was opposed by the woman's parents. In order to maintain contact, the two turned their relationship underground.

As a well-known dating site in Tokiwa City, it was just an ordinary suburb that couldn't be more ordinary. In order to get rid of their parents' surveillance, the two chose to date here.

"It was just two people who were discovered again soon, but this time the girl did not choose to compromise, but chose to elope with the boy."

The man described what happened in an outsider's tone, while talking, he gently hugged the person next to him, and then said gently: "I don't know what I would do without you~"

Xiu ate only dog ​​food, especially as a new acquaintance, he seemed a little embarrassed.

But looking at the expressions of the two people in front of them, that trace of depression quickly turned into a blessing.

Xiu also noticed the little girl on the side, and for some reason, Xiu sat obediently by the side until now, without saying a word.

Originally, he just thought of it as a shy child and didn't pay much attention to it.

But his gaze seemed to have been discovered, and the little girl turned her head slightly to meet him.

At that moment, Xiu seemed to touch something, a strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, but it subsided in an instant, leaving only an inexplicable emptiness.

Xiu took the initiative to look away and frowned slightly.
