Find lost Pokémon

Daoxiang Village is a small village near the mountains. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is more than ten miles away from the nearest town. However, because it is rich in rice, the nearby villages are relatively wealthy. At least the people in Daoxiang Village have no food or clothing. Worrying, but that's all. If you want to go further, you are trapped in the terrain, which is extremely difficult.

At this time, the old men working in the fields began to go home to eat one after another. Looking from a distance, they saw billowing smoke rising up. The aroma of rice mixed with the fresh aroma of food, making those who smelled it unbearable. The mouth is full of saliva and the mouth is watering.

When the passing villagers saw Ji Xin leading Su Ming to the village, they all looked interested in gossiping. In this remote countryside, the villagers are basically boring all year round, so any little thing can make them gossip. In a few days, the news spread to ten people, and then the whole village knew about it in less than two days.

What's more, Ji Xin was shy at the age when she was ready to get married, but now she brought back a fair and handsome young man, who was helping Ji Xin carry the basket intimately. How could she not hold back her curiosity? Talk about gossip.

"Ji Yatou, why don't you bring Peng You back here?" An older generation squatted on the bluestone in front of the door and asked with a smile.

"Sister Ji, Sister Ji, is this brother-in-law?" A four or five-year-old girl with a bubbling nose pulled Ji Xin's clothes with her dirty little hands and said, "Sister, how are you, brother-in-law?"

"No, don't talk nonsense, I didn't." Ji Xin sent the yellow-haired girl away slowly and with a red face, said angrily to the old man on the bluestone board: "Uncle has nothing to do with his teeth. This is the guest of the village grandfather."

"Ji Xin, Ji Xin"

Urgent shouts came from the distance. Su Ming looked up and saw a young man running over.

"Go quickly"

Ji Xin also saw it, but did not respond to him. He quickly pulled Su Ming forward, feeling like he was running away.

"Who is he?" Su Ming became interested and asked curiously, "Is he your suitor?"

"Yes, it's my cousin." Ji Xin blushed. She didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or annoyance. Her tone was a bit complaining, and she explained: "My cousin has been taking care of me since I was a child. The past two years have been fine. In the past few years, I went to the town. He would come with me when I bought several packets of salt, for fear that I would be abducted..."

"So I was regarded by your cousin as the villain who deceived my cousin." Su Ming said with a smile, "Do you want me to go over and explain to him?"

"No, no need, he's just one-sided... I'll make it clear to him in two days." Ji Xin pursed her lips, pointed to a two-story cabin in front of her, and said, "That's the village chief. At Grandpa’s house, the village chief Grandpa will greet you during lunch... If you need anything to see me, my house is at the very back of the village, so just keep walking along this road."

As she said that, she glanced at Xiao Fei on Su Ming's shoulder, lowered her head slightly, and her thin bangs hung down, making it difficult to see the emotions in her eyes. She said, "Then I'm leaving."

"Well, thank you." After returning the basket to Ji Xin, he stood there and watched him leave, with a flash of thought in his eyes.

Sighing, Su Ming turned around, only to find an old man with white hair and a goatee standing there. He didn't know how long he had been standing there. When he saw Su Ming, he noticed that he had three or four missing teeth in his grin. mouth, said:

"Isn't the young man Ji Yatou's lover?"

"No." Su Ming simply shook his head and said, "My name is Su Ming. I am a bounty hunter. I have been tasked to come here to look for traces of fire-breathing dragons... You are the village chief here, right?"

The yellow mission is difficult: looking for traces of the fire-breathing dragon.

Mission details: The villagers of Daohua Village under Wugu Town found a fire-breathing dragon while searching for medicinal materials in the mountains, and asked to explore the traces of the fire-breathing dragon's activities.

Mission bounty: 30 points, 2w.

This is the first bounty mission that Su Ming has received. It belongs to the search and exploration category. The risk is classified in a safer range among other missions. Although the bounty is less, because it is the first mission, Su Ming decided to choose one. Try the waters with low difficulty.

The old man nodded without mentioning the mission. He called Su Ming in and said, "Young man, come in first. You haven't eaten yet. It's just plain food from the countryside. Don't dislike it."

"how come."

Su Ming smiled and followed the village chief in.

The house is a bit dim, illuminated by an oil lamp full of age. The tables and chairs are all the same as their owners, some of which are old. There is a family portrait hanging on the wall. Judging from the number of people, the village chief can say that he has a family full of descendants.

"All the young people have gone to the city to work hard. Only us old men are still guarding the village." The village chief brought two bowls of rice and handed one to Su Ming.

Sure enough, it was simple rice. Most of the bowl was white rice. Judging from the color, it should have been drizzled with lard. There were a bunch of bean sprouts on top, as well as a few pieces of small dried fish and a few pieces of black and red bacon.

Su Ming did not dislike it and followed the village chief to sit on the stone slab in front of the door. It seemed that every house here had a large or small bluestone in front of the door, which seemed to be used for sitting and eating.

Regardless of the mud and dust on the stone slab, Su Ming calmly sat down on it. It was cool, which was rarely comfortable under the intense autumn sun. Then he took a big mouthful of rice, which was rice soaked in lard, crispy with bean sprouts, and mixed with bacon slices. The saltiness of the food and the freshness of the dried fish reminded Su Ming of his childhood days in his previous life.

Like other country children, Su Ming lived at his grandma's house before entering junior high school. There were no computer or mobile games at that time, and even cartoons on TV could only be played at certain points. At that time, Su Ming After school, I would gather a few friends and run to the fields. I would jump into the knee-high creek on the edge of the fields to touch for screws and small crabs. If I were lucky, I would catch a few small whitebait, take them home, wash them and put them in the frying pan. As soon as you put it in, the aroma will rise.

His favorite thing at that time was lard bibimbap with fried dried fish, and some scraps of fried lard left over. If grandma was in a good mood, she would cut two pieces of bacon. Thinking of those years was really a lifetime. The most carefree days in my life.

Sunlight fell from the gaps between the branches and leaves of the old locust tree. There were already withered yellow leaves lying on the ground. Su Ming looked at the light beam connecting the sky and the ground and could clearly see the dust floating in it.He said: "Can the village chief tell me about Ji Xin's situation?"

"Ji Yatou, I thought you would ask about the mission first. After all, many bounty hunters put mission first..." The village chief glanced at Su Ming in surprise, but his tone was still so unhurried. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked: "Little young man, do you like Ji Yatou?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief immediately rejected what he just said, and said with some emotion: "This is impossible, what is so attractive about a wild girl from the countryside."

"I'm just curious." Su Ming smiled bitterly, watching a crying child being pulled home by his mother's ears, and smiled: "Ji Xin seems to be very popular with elves. She...should have become The trainer's talent, how..."

"Why don't you go to the trainer's school?" The village chief knew what Su Ming meant. He was silent for a moment and said, "It's mainly because of poverty."

"Ji Yatou is a good child. She has been sensible and obedient since she was a child, and her academic performance is good. Once, she was found to have the talent to get close to elves. However, something unexpected happened. Another time her father lost his footing and fell from the mountain when he was going up the mountain. He was sent to The emergency treatment at the hospital cost me all my family’s money, and everyone in the village raised some money to save my life, but my legs are broken and I won’t be able to work for the rest of my life.”

"The mainstay of the family has collapsed, and she still has an eight-year-old brother to take care of. Ji Yatou is also a fiery person. She dropped out of school and went home to take care of her father and brother while working in the fields with her mother. Finally, she didn't let this happen The family is broken..."

"She is a good child, but her life is miserable..."
