Chapter 41: Grandfather
With the help of Nana's [telekinesis], the tree was quickly planted, and the stumps and leaves were swept out of the door by my grandfather, and the whole yard was completely new, and there was no longer the mess it had just now.
My grandfather walked under the tree and stomped heavily on his clogs to tamp the dirt. Then, he took a few more steps back and gestured twice with his hand before nodding in satisfaction.
"Your grandmother is coming back soon, let's go inside." He said to the sky as he easily picked up the shovel.
"Oh, good!" Kong guessed that he would be able to have lunch when his grandmother came back, and he was looking forward to it, after all, his mother's crafts were all taught by his grandmother.
When he entered the door, the cutty dog was still squatting outside, and he had no intention of entering the house at all.
Sora just wanted to ask, but he heard his grandfather's voice coming from the front.
"Leave it alone." With that, he walked into the house without looking back.
Sora took one last look at the catty dog. It stood there, watching them leave, its dark eyes revealing firmness and tenacity, a silent gaze that seemed to be both guarding and waiting.
My grandfather's house has only two floors like Kamio's house, but the area is much larger, covering an area of nearly two acres, which is still not counting the result of the courtyard outside.
Sora walked through a long corridor, and on both sides hung the portraits of the ancestors of the Eagle Division, both men and women, all of whom were like their grandfathers, with extraordinary momentum and no anger and self-authority. Their lives are also recorded below, entrepreneurs, league councillors, king-level trainers, and even mayors. glanced at the grandfather who walked in front with a solemn face, what kind of glorious past will there be behind this old man?
Maybe my mother has a very deep family history. Empty Dark Passage.
He realized that he knew very little about his parents' family affairs, and his father's home was far away in Fangyuan, and his mother was not clear here, and there was also a saying in this world that "the married daughter spilled the water"? So far, Sora only knows that his grandfather's name is Eagle Sihong, his grandmother's name is Eagle Sihui, and he doesn't know anything else, usually his mother will only take him to visit during the New Year, and he usually won't stay for more than three days.
However, now that my mother has let me come here, there must be something different about it. Sora had already faintly heard the screams of elves in the distance, judging from the sounds, they should all be types he had never seen, but he didn't know where they were.
Ying Sihong led the empty to the living room, and did not ask him to sit down, nor did he take out snacks from the fruit shop to entertain his grandson, but made a pot of tea first.
The pot is an azure ceramic pot, smooth and translucent, passed down from generation to generation; Tea, picking old tea trees in the backyard, the breath of Zhilan, fragrant and pleasant; Water, take the small stream in the forest, murmuring and clear, clear and refreshing. After that, it is a hot pot, a tea, a warm cup, and a high flush, all in one go, pleasing to the eye.
Sora and Nana watched intently from the sidelines, only to feel that his grandfather's hands seemed to have magical powers, firmly grasping his attention. When he came back to his senses, a steaming cup of green tea was already in front of him.
"Drink and see." There was a faint confidence in my grandfather's words.
He took the cup and a faint aroma came with the curling tea smoke, and he took a light breath, so the refreshing taste began to permeate his chest.
The truth that tea should be drunk while it is hot is still understood, he blew away the rising heat, no longer hesitated, and took a sip carefully. A different taste spreads from the tip of his tongue, first bitter, but bitter and then sweet, and then astringent, but astringent and then relished, making people have an endless aftertaste.
"Ha~" After a while, Sora breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling like his whole body had been purified once. He can now understand the mood of tea lovers, tea is also a taste of life, this tea has both the mottled colors of the world, as well as the ups and downs of life, is deliberately deep and long, and the aftertaste is inexhaustible.
Nana looked at the master curiously, is this green water so delicious? Then, she stared at the rest of the tea in the teapot and looked eager to try it.
"You want to drink too?" Grandpa is a little funny, but he has never been prejudiced against elves, not to mention that this is raised by his grandson since childhood.
"Whoa." He graciously poured a glass for the Sun Elf and placed it in front of her.
Nana couldn't wait to lean over, but was about to drink but was stopped by a hand.
"Wait." Sora knew that his elf had been a cat's tongue since he was a child, and he couldn't stand the hot stuff the most, so he took the teacup first, blew it carefully, and handed it to Nana when it was colder.
"It's bitter, are you used to drinking?"
"Babble~" Nana can't wait, she is always like this, when she sees empty eating, she must get a piece of the pie, regardless of whether she likes it or not.
Since the last time she stuck her face in the cup at Xiao Mao's house, Nana has learned a lot, and when she encounters a container with a narrow mouth, she will stretch out a paw to dip in water to drink. But this time obviously not to, the cup for drinking tea was not big, and she could get it by sticking out her tongue.
Sora watched Nana stick her little pink tongue into the cup, and there was no intention of stopping it at all. He felt that sometimes he should teach her a lesson, so that she would not eat indiscriminately in the future.
"Huh?" Nana, who had never drunk tea before, only felt that her whole mouth was surrounded by bitterness, and she lost her sense of taste for a while. She pulled her tongue desperately to wipe away the bitterness, and at the same time made a silent accusation against Sora with pitiful eyes, blaming him for not stopping her.
"It's all very bitter, who made your mouth so greedy." Spread his hands empty, indicating that he could not do anything.
"Give her this." Instead, my grandfather took out two cans of warm drinks from his arms.
This is...... Mixed juices?
I don't remember that there is no vending machine in a hundred miles around here, did my grandfather buy it on purpose?
"Ahem, I'm afraid you won't be used to drinking tea at home, so you passed by the supermarket and bought it by the way." Takashi explained.
On the empty road, he saw no supermarket except the grassland and the woods, but he didn't intend to debunk his grandfather's words, and some things were clear in his heart. In addition, he finally knew why his grandfather was not at home when he came, and he went to the city to buy him a drink. Before he came, he was worried that his always majestic grandfather would not welcome him, but now it seems that he is no different from all the grandfathers in the world who love their grandsons.
Thanks, Grandpa. He liked this stubborn and somewhat arrogant old man a little bit in his heart.
"Your elf is very good with you." Ying Sihong suddenly burst into words.
"Huh?" Sora was feeding Nana juice and didn't react for a while, "Hmm! She's been with me since I was a kid and saved my life not long ago. ”
"Oh? Is this the Eevee? "Although my grandfather doesn't have much contact with the Kamio family, he remembers his grandson very clearly.
"yes, I evolved to save me." Said with the head of the sun elf empty.
"Bah-" Nana enjoyed the empty caresses, she drank the juice and was much quieter, at least not the way she had just raised her eyebrows, but she still looked at the teacup on the table with disgust, it was poison to her!
"No wonder......," Grandpa looked at Nana for a moment, "I think she doesn't seem to be able to control her strength well, and she's a little frizzy." ”
"Does Grandpa have a way?" Nana's situation is better understood, and after evolving, she awakened her superpowers, and defeated the flying mantis that was not an exaggeration to say that she was a fierce opponent many times, and then followed Sora to kill all sides in the Tokiwa forest. To put it simply, her strength is improving too fast now, and she is a little inflated.
"I can't call it a solution, I also encountered your current situation back then." Grandpa smiled, and seemed to enjoy the feeling of being relied on by his grandson, "It's a good thing to be young and vigorous, but you have to recognize your own strength." ”
After his grandfather mentioned this, Sora felt that it was not only Nana who was inflated, but even he himself was carried away by the successive victories. Elves are the most susceptible to the influence of trainers, and the arrogance of the air subtly makes Nana frizzy. I was fighting with Cutty Dog before, too, and I didn't think I would do anything too much to a wild elf before.
Is it because you have fought too much that you have become indifferent to life? Sora reflected on his actions, and he didn't want to be a ruthless person at all.
"Forget it today, I'll teach you tomorrow." Ying Sihong knows that everything should not be rushed, not to mention that his grandson has only been here for the first day, and he still has a lot to talk about with Kong.
"Oh." It's only been two days since the winter vacation, and the air is not in a hurry at all, so he asked instead, "Was Grandpa a trainer before?" ”
"Suzuko, didn't she tell you?" Speaking of his past, the old man was obviously interested, he stroked his beard and said, "Your grandfather and I were known as the strongest leader of the Tokiwa Gym back then!" ”
"Huh?" Sora only knows that the strongest dojo leader in Kandu now is Sakaki of the Tokiwa Dojo, although he usually doesn't show the mountains and waters, but in the comics, he killed the dragon king in seconds.
"It's a pity that the latter is older, and he was defeated by his most proud disciple." Grandpa continued, as if he had thought of something interesting, "Haha, in fact, that kid doesn't know, I deliberately lost to him." The leader of the gym is too tired from this work, and every day is fighting, teaching, and handling official business, and Xiaohui doesn't want me to continue working......"
"Grandpa is Sakaki's master?" Sora couldn't believe his ears.
My grandfather babbled about the past, and when asked by Sora, I thought he was questioning his teaching skills.
"yes, so you can rest assured. Grandpa will train you to be a trainer better than him. ”
After that, my grandfather didn't listen much to what he said, and he was still shocked by the incident, and the name Sakaki simply ran through the entire Pokémon special, so he couldn't help but care. But now, this final boss of Team Rocket turned out to be his grandfather's disciple?
Hollow messy, sitting on the couch not knowing what to think.
"Squeak."
There was a sound of the door opening in the hallway, and my grandmother had returned.
