Elf: Sailing since being taken in by New Leaf Cat

Chapter 38 Arriving at Niangguang City and getting on the boat with the apples

Padiya region, East District 1.

In the endless green field, accompanied by the sea breeze blowing from the distant seaside, many shuttlecock grass and shuttlecock flowers take advantage of the wind and float into the distance.

The Chinese Valentine's Day bluebird and the blue cottonbird soar through the sky, but the air flow caused by flapping its wings will accidentally blow the shuttlecock and the shuttlecock behind.

Below them, on the windswept grassland, many motorcycle lizards were full of curiosity and happily running along the sides of a large ship. The tires ran over the grass, leaving some traces, but nothing serious.

Some goats that were grazing heard the noise, and they and the lambs around them looked up curiously, only to see a mass of darkness following the ship passing by on the grassland...

Looking at it, it seems as if these Pokémon are all traveling together on this ship. The atmosphere is extremely harmonious, like a painting on the prairie.

But Qiu Qing, who was sailing the boat, didn't think so. He was sweating and his expression was a little panicked. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the black mass behind him getting farther and farther away from the boat.

"You can't catch up, right? Huh... what a fool. I just went to the river to get water for later use, and these guys suddenly rushed over."

Even now, Qiu Qing still has some lingering fears. Just when she went to the river to get some water in the morning, she was almost poked by these Padya Kenteros. They really bumped into each other...

We set off at noon yesterday, and it is now the morning of the next day. We all rested together by the river last night. There were basically no problems along the way, and everyone was looking forward to this trip.

However, the water on the boat was all taken from the river. He put a few buckets in big buckets and poured them back into the water tank. It was much more convenient to take a bath in this way. He no longer wanted to experience being surrounded by ducks when he went to the river to take a bath...

After getting rid of Kentero, the speed of the ship slowed down a little. This time the destination was Niangguang City. It would take at least three days to reach it at this speed. I deliberately did not take the right road to see the scenery better.

Olinio was taking care of the garden on the deck, but it was a pity that it only had an area of ​​four square meters, otherwise he would have wanted to plant more things, but he was already satisfied with the sight of the sweet sunflowers sprouting in just one day.

Just as it was about to go to the bow of the ship to take a look at the scenery, its eyes were suddenly attracted by three bright red apples in the garden. These apples were mixed in with the vegetables, motionless, and nothing unusual could be found at all.

Olinio picked up the apples curiously, thinking that the fruit was ripe, so he took all the apples back to the kitchen and put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh...

Soon the time came to afternoon, and they finally found a place to stop by the river and prepared to eat.

Qiu Qing left the wheelhouse tiredly while looking at the map on her phone. With the alliance card, it was much easier to access the Internet. In order to prevent crime, real-name authentication is now required to view the map.

"Well... just keep walking along this river, and you'll probably arrive at the edge of East District 2 at noon tomorrow. Niangguang City is right on the seaside of East District 2."

"Pamo~"

Bu Bo appeared from behind and jumped onto his shoulder in a few moments. Qiu Qing let go of the phone, smiled and touched Bu Bo's soft hair, which was a little numb, and then said: "Thank you for your hard work, let's go eat."

"Pamo~"

After holding Bu Bo in his arms, they went to the kitchen together. Xinye Miao had already prepared lunch, which was made with freshly picked vegetables and fruits, as well as the food he caught and kept in a bucket last night. The Padian seabass in it, the crew’s nutrition must keep up.

Olinio is already sitting at the dining table, with several wooden boxes placed under it. He is very quiet. He does not eat meat, and fruits and vegetables are better for him.

After seeing Qiu Qing coming, he handed over a small jar he had placed next to him.

"Linyu~"

"Huh? Is this... oil?"

[Olive oil from Oliño: The olive oil produced from the olives on the head of Oliño after bathing in the sun is fresh and delicious, with a unique fragrance and rich in nutrients (an excellent seasoning for cooking, and also It can be eaten directly to restore physical strength. It is delicious but not greasy, but taking too much may cause diarrhea)]

After reading the message, Qiu Qing smiled and responded: "Thank you, this kind of olive oil is very expensive. Let Maomao do the cooking at night."

"Linyu~"

Olinio nodded happily, as long as he could help. Anyway, the olive oil used to be wasted or used to trade with others. Now that he has started a new life, he naturally has to contribute.

After Qiuqing put the cloth on the dining table, she walked to the refrigerator and prepared to take out the tree juice that Xinye Miao had made in the morning. But the moment she opened the refrigerator door, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

"mom……"

"Meow?"

"No, why are you here!"

Qiu Qing didn't hear the cat's confused cry, but looked at the three frozen apples in the refrigerator with shock on her face. They were the three fruit-gnawing bugs that often ran on the boat to bask in the sun.

However, these three little guys ran into the refrigerator without knowing when. It seemed that they were so frozen that they couldn't even open the door. If they were found out at night, they would probably all be dead... He hurriedly gnawed The fruitworms were taken out of the refrigerator, and Xinye Miao immediately told him where the hot water was and brought it over to warm the fruitworms.

Olinio, who was eating, was slightly startled when he saw this scene, and blinked. Why do these apples look familiar?

After being placed in hot water for a while, the fruit-gnawing insects all regained consciousness. The moment they opened their eyes and smelled the fragrance, they all jumped on the dining table and began to cook without hesitation.

Qiu Qing could only stand aside, and after they were all fed, she scratched her hair and asked: "Why are you here, and you went to my refrigerator..."

"Crack!"

The insects didn't know what to do. They were just basking in the sun on the bow of the boat at noon yesterday. They wanted to go back to the tree to eat and rest as usual in the evening, but they didn't expect that when they woke up, they had no idea where they were.

I was too hungry at night, so I went to the garden to steal vegetables. I had a good meal and then went to sleep. When I woke up again, I went into the refrigerator. I almost had hallucinations from the cold...

"Meow……"

After Xinye Miao helped translate, he looked at Qiu Qing with a helpless expression. Didn't he look at it before sailing?Why are you so excited when you return to reality?

"I didn't...well, my bad."

Qiu Qing didn't want to quibble. It was true that he was too impatient yesterday and didn't pay attention. But who threw the fruit-gnawing insects sleeping in the garden into the refrigerator?

"Linyu..."

Well, case solved.

Xinye Miao held her forehead and shook her head, suddenly feeling a little more worried about the future of the ship... But for now, let's deal with the fruit-gnawing matter first.

If they were sent back, they would have to make a round trip. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was ultimately caused by their carelessness.

But when Qiu Qing was about to ask to send it back, none of the fruit-gnawing insects wanted to leave. These days, they were used to basking in the sun here every day.

Moreover, you can get food for free, and you don’t have to worry about being snatched away by arrow sparrows and humming bats when you are basking in the sun or sleeping. You don’t want to go back, that’s all. The three fruit-gnawing bugs all have this idea.

Seeing that they were unwilling to leave, Qiu Qing looked at Xinye Miao, but Maomao just gave him a look and let him make his own decision.

"OK then……"

Qiu Qing herself didn't object to the Pokémon staying on the ship, not to mention that they all knew each other. The only problem was that she didn't understand these apples.

"Since you like it here, then stay here, but you can't cause trouble."

"Crack~"

The three fruit-gnawing worms shook their apple-butt-like eyes at the same time and seemed very happy. They only had to eat, sleep and bask in the sun every day without much thought, so it was good to live like this.

Looking at their appearance, Qiu Qing sighed softly. She always felt that these little guys who just wanted to lie down and had no dreams might leave the ship one day... But it would be great if they could stay here forever. .

Olinio apologized apologetically to the fruit-gnawing bugs, but the bugs all fell asleep and seemed not to want to know or make friends with them.

"Okay, let them be like this."

Qiu Qing touched Olinio's head, and then continued his lunch time. After the meal, he did not forget to take the fruit-gnawing insects to the garden and let them bask in the sun. Olinio followed him out and continued to take care of the flowers...

A small accident brought three more apples on board to accompany them on this journey, but even if it was an accident, Qiu Qing still had a glimmer of hope in her heart so that they could live happily here.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way. Apart from occasionally encountering a few traveling students who were curious to take photos, and being chased by a wild Kentero, there was nothing new.

Along the way, Qiu Qing took a lot of photos of Pokémon and scenery, and after spending a few days together, everyone on the ship became more familiar with them.

The communication between Olinio and Bubo was not as stiff as before. They have become friends, except for the few fruit-gnawing bugs.

And on the evening of the third day, when the boat passed a big uphill slope, it slowly slowed down and stopped.

Qiu Qing and the others ran to the deck one after another, full of excitement in their hearts, looking at the coastal city in the distance illuminated by colorful lights. The evening was just like day, and it was worthy of being a million-volt night scene!
"We're finally here, Niangguang City!"
