I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"When did two such large poisonous jellyfish live on our island?"

The people who arrived at the door were gasping for air, their throats were so dry that they felt like they were on fire. Looking at the empty space behind them that had almost become a swimming pool, they couldn't help but feel like they had escaped death.

Ba Yan frowned slightly. Last year's test was not as difficult as this one, and personal safety was also well guaranteed. Just now, he saw someone with a broken bone due to being thrown away.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Li Ran, the first person to arrive here. Could it be that because of his joining, the island owner deliberately increased the difficulty of the test?

......

"Xiao Li, are you going to wash clothes again?"

"Would you like some help, Xiaoli?"

A young girl was carrying a wooden basin with a lot of clothes in it. The aunties who were familiar with her greeted her in a friendly manner. Xiaoli smiled at them but didn't say anything.

The young girl, Xiaoli, was wearing a solid-colored little skirt that was slightly yellowed because it had been washed so many times. She had a serious illness when she was born, so she couldn't speak.

Her father passed away a few years ago, so she and her mother were the only ones left to depend on each other. When her mother fell ill in recent years, she took the initiative to take on the housework.

Fortunately, her mother taught her how to eat and wash clothes, and she had friendly relations with her neighbors, so she was not too depressed and was still relatively optimistic.

She held the heavy wooden basin and walked step by step to the river.

This stream is where people here wash clothes, so they specially paved the sides so that people can stand safely by the river.

She looked around and found a place with fewer people. She slowly took the clothes out of the wooden basin and saw a tall man not far away flying a kite with a little girl.

She would unconsciously lower her head so that her hair could cover her a little, so that others wouldn't notice that she was peeking at them.

There was some envy in Xiaoli's eyes. When she was little, her father also played with her like this. Watching them playing and washing clothes in her hands, her mood gradually became cheerful.

Suddenly her hand seemed to be hit by something, and she instinctively lowered her head to look.

A black head hit the back of her hand. She was so scared that she fell to the ground. She looked around frantically, trying to find help. She opened her mouth but no sound came out.

My legs have become weak.

But gradually she discovered that when the person sank, some bubbles would appear.

People are still alive.

After this thought came to her mind, she became braver and stood up again. The man did not float to other places because his clothes were hooked by a protruding stone.

She stretched out her hands and used all her strength to drag the other person up.

Seeing the other person's pale face, she plucked up her courage, stretched out her finger and probed the tip of his nose. Fortunately, the other person was still breathing weakly.

She was a little flustered, as she had not learned how to save people. Then she looked at the playful father and daughter, gritted her teeth, and ran over.

It took a lot of effort for the other party to understand what she meant and bring the person over.

"Isn't this guy a weirdo?"

When the man saw him, he recognized him, but he did not refuse to save him because of his identity. Xiaoli felt a little confused, but did not think much about it.

He patted his face first, and when there was no response, he began to do chest compressions.

"Cough cough."

As the pressure continued, the weirdo finally regained some consciousness, spit out several mouthfuls of water, and opened his eyes weakly.

What he saw was a petite girl, bowing to the man, and then running to his side, looking at him with concern.

A face that he hadn't seen for a long time suddenly appeared in his mind. It was his mother. Then a feeling of weakness attacked him and he slowly closed his eyes again.

When he woke up again, he was already in a very dilapidated wooden house. He covered his aching head and couldn't help but complain.

"Potato, I asked you to fix the roof, why are you dawdling with me?"

As his voice rang out, a beautiful girl whom he had never seen before came in. She looked at him with some worry, made some gestures, and then handed him a bowl of porridge.

Although it is called porridge, it actually contains more water and not much rice.

The weirdo showed some rare shyness, shrank his neck, said thank you, and then drank the bowl of porridge. However, his stomach still rumbled.

This amount is not enough to fill him up.

The girl smiled at him, then snatched his bowl and hurried outside.

The weirdo watched her leave silently.

After swallowing the second bowl of porridge, the weirdo's body recovered a lot. He looked around and saw a woman lying on the bed not far away. Her yellow face showed that she was sick.

The woman just nodded and smiled at him, and the weirdo's heart was suddenly wrapped in warmth. He hadn't been taken care of for a long time.

The memories in his mind gradually became clear, and he suddenly wanted to stand up from the bed, but he was still a little weak because he had been soaked in water for too long.

"Potato and the others have been arrested... Who are those people and what do they want to do?"

He recalled what had just happened with lingering fear and subconsciously reached for his waist. The Squid King's Poké Ball was still there, but it was empty. This feeling of powerlessness suddenly spread throughout his body.

He was already in his early twenties, but he started crying like a child.

He couldn't help but slap himself. If it weren't for his curiosity, how could his companion have been caught? It was all his fault.

When Xiaoli heard the noise, she rushed in. When she saw the red palm print on the man's face, she was startled and waved her hands anxiously, trying to ask what had happened.

Seeing Xiaoli's actions, the weirdo wiped his tears a little embarrassedly and said repeatedly.

"I am fine."

He already knew that Xiaoli couldn't speak. Seeing that the weirdo had calmed down, Xiaoli went back to do her own thing.

The woman lying not far away finally spoke.

"Young man, don't be anxious. I don't know what happened, but it's more important for you to take care of yourself now."

"Thank you."

The weirdo nodded, took a deep breath, and thought and expected silently in his heart.

Potato, you guys must be well, wait for me to come find you...

His fists clenched tighter involuntarily, and a decision emerged in his mind.

He must seek help from others.
