Chapter 66: Trouble
Half an hour later.
After finishing running, Gu Ling returned home.
Seeing that Xiang Jinli was taking out new dishes and chopsticks from the disinfection cabinet, she walked over quickly.
Gu Ling saw the freshly cooked porridge in the kitchen, so he brought the rice cooker for the porridge to the dining table, and said as if chatting: "Second aunt, we townspeople in Ping'an Town, didn't we live here before?" Is it the island that lives on the other side of the sea? β
"yes." Xiang Jinli put the new dishes and chopsticks on the table: "Decades ago, the townspeople of Ping'an Town still lived on a nearby island, but later because of the migration of pet animals in the sea, more and more pet animals settled in the nearby seas, and the government moved people here for the safety of the island's residents." β
"Gradually, there were no more people living on the island."
Gu Ling groaned in his heart.
That year, my grandfather went to see the sea every day...... Are you looking in the direction of the island?
Does he want to go to the island?
Gu Ling said his thoughts.
When Xiang Jinli heard this, she also felt that there was some truth: "Maybe it's true, with the age of the old man of the Nian family, when the island residents moved in, they were about ten years old, hey...... Time flies. β
"The people who lived on the island in the early years of Ping'an Town have almost all passed away one after another, and few people will remember that the townspeople of Ping'an Town once lived on the island."
While speaking, Gu Zhou yawned and went downstairs: "Gu Ling, why did you get up so early?" β
Xiang Jinli subconsciously said: "Do you think everyone is like you, and they are lazy when they are on vacation?" Xiao Ling went out for a run early in the morning and exercised. β
Regarding his mother's nagging, Gu Zhou has always been in and out of his left ear, sitting at the dining table, looking left and right, and he didn't see Gu Ya.
"Where's my sister?"
When he was upstairs just now, Gu Zhou knocked on Gu Ya's door, and there was no one inside.
"Your sister just went out to buy something." Xiang Jinli explained.
"What are you buying......"
As soon as Gu Zhou muttered, Gu Ya's figure appeared from the door, carrying a bag of medicine in her hand.
Gu Ya walked in and put the bag in her hand on the coffee table in the living room: "I went to the pet beast pharmacy and bought some medicine, wait a minute, aren't you going to have a pet beast battle?" There is no pet medicine center in the town, so remember to stop your battles, and if your pet beast is injured, make do with these medicines first. β
After putting the bag down, Gu Ya walked over.
"Sister Yaya, you are really thoughtful for Gu Zhou." Gu Ling couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"It's ......"
Gu Zhou nodded subconsciously, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and turned his head to look at Gu Ling angrily: "Gu Ling, what do you mean by this?" β
What does it mean to help him think really well?
This guy is not pretending to be now, so arrogant, he thinks he will lose, right?
"Nothing interesting, huh? I just care what you mean. Gu Ling filled half a bowl of lean porridge, took another meat bun in his hand, took a bite of it, and squinted his eyes slightly in enjoyment.
"Second aunt, the buns you make are still so delicious."
When Xiang Jinli heard this, she smiled brightly: "Really? I haven't done it for a long time, and I'm a little raw, so I'll eat more if it's delicious. β
Gu Zhou grinded his teeth, picked up a bun and stuffed it in his mouth with a resentful expression, and then chewed viciously, as if he was eating someone's meat.
"Gu Ling, hurry up and finish breakfast! Then let's go to the battle! "Gu Zhou, he didn't believe it, the stubborn stone has an attribute advantage, and it can't beat a mere thunder seal cat.
"Okay, okay." Gu Ling nodded indifferently, picked up a bun with chopsticks, and then put it in front of Xian Jiu and shook it.
Xian Jiu was sitting at the dining table, holding the edge of the rice bowl with his two paws, sucking the lean porridge in the bowl with his small mouth, and it would be bottomed out after a while.
Seeing the fragrant meat bun appear in front of him, Xian Jiu subconsciously used his mental power to control the bun to float to his mouth, and then took a bite of the bun and bit the bun.
Gu Ling blocked the bun with his hand, so from the perspective of Gu Ya and the others, it was Gu Ling who was holding the bun and feeding it to Xianjiu.
"Don't be lazy, take it and eat it yourself." Gu Ling poked Immortal Jiu's little paw with his other hand, and gave Immortal Jiu another look.
It's not much of a secret that Xianjiu has super attributes, even if they are known by the second aunt, it's okay.
The main reason is that he hasn't fought against Gu Zhou yet, if he knows in advance and notices that he is tired, maybe he will directly play Lai Pi and not fight.
Eat the pocket money that is almost in your mouth, Gu Ling doesn't want to fly like this.
"Mi woo~" Xian Jiu pursed his small mouth, and reluctantly held the bun with his paws and continued to gnaw.
Xiang Jinli glanced at Xianjiu's rice bowl that was about to bottom out, and was a little surprised: "Xianjiu finished eating so quickly?" β
Gu Ya's feather hunting bird and Gu Zhou's stubborn stone don't like to eat human food very much, they usually eat special pet animal food, and after returning home from shopping last night, the two pet beasts were released and stayed in the backyard.
When Xiang Jinli was preparing breakfast, she went to the backyard and poured the food of the two pet beasts into their respective rice bowls, and she was now eating breakfast in the backyard.
ββ¦β¦ I didn't expect Xian Jiu to like to eat human food, do you want to serve another bowl? β
Hearing this, Xianjiu's pupils lit slightly, and the cat's tail behind him shook happily: "Mi woo~"
Aunt ~ Ben Meow also (β§β¦) ~
"Second aunt, I'll just come to Sheng."
Gu Ling rubbed Immortal Jiu's head heavily.
Xianjiu really doesn't see the outside.
It's only the second day, so it's going to please the second aunt.
β¦β¦
After eating breakfast, the battle between Gu Ling and Gu Zhou could finally begin.
There is no formal battlefield in the town, and if you go outside to fight on the side of the road, the aftermath of the pet beast's skills is easy to hurt passers-by.
So, Gu Ling and Gu Zhou discussed it and decided to go to the backyard to fight.
In the backyard.
Xiang Jinli planted a lot of fruit trees in the early years, and even now that she has moved to Yangxi County to live permanently, she is used to coming back every few months to take care of the fruit trees, spraying a little medicine on the fruit trees to remove insects and so on.
In the past two days, Xiang Jinli also deliberately turned over the soil in the corner of the wall and surrounded a small piece to plant vegetables, and the baby was very good.
"You fight and fight, don't destroy the flowers and plants in the yard." Gu Ya reminded.
"I know, I know, I'm measured."
Gu Zhou called the stubborn stone hiding under the tree to enjoy the shade: "Stubborn stone, come here." β
In the trees, the feathered bird was combing its hair, its eyes blinking smartly, staring at the battle that was about to begin under the tree.
At this time, Gu Ling was thinking in his heart, which skill move should he use to give the stubborn stone seconds?
But you can't seriously injure the stubborn stone, otherwise it will be a waste of medicine.
Forget it, let's let Xianjiu play freely.
"Xianjiu, you can play this game casually." Gu Ling said loudly.
"Miwoo~"
Xian Jiu subconsciously stood upright, straightened his chest, and pretended to have an unfathomable face, and his head was little by little.
Don't worry, the beast master~ Ben Meow will be merciful.
ββ¦β¦ It's so arrogant! β
Gu Zhou, who heard everything, grinded his teeth, but a sense of crisis gradually arose in his heart.
According to his understanding of Gu Ling, it is impossible to be so arrogant and inflated, unless he is 100% sure that he is so prodigal.
After the battle began, Xianjiu first used a flash of lightning to attack in the direction of the stubborn stone.
"Stubborn stone, harden with use!"
[Harden]: An ordinary skill that hardens the body by exerting strength throughout the body, thereby improving one's own defense.
Compared with the speed of the Thunder Seal Cat, Gu Zhou knew that he couldn't compare, so he chose to brake statically and wait for the Thunder Seal Cat to get close before making a move.
Halfway through, Immortal Nine's figure began to split into six, and the six 'Immortal Nine' all dispersed, continuing to attack the stubborn stone in different directions.
A pair of stone hands of Stubborn Stone were placed in front of him, making a gesture of resistance.
One by one, Xianjiu 'bumped' into the stubborn stones, and the stubborn stones were just about to reach out to grab them, but they were all empty.
These are all doppelgangers.
And the real Immortal Nine had already sneaked to the side of the stubborn stone, and then slammed into it.
Bang!
The heavy stubborn stone was knocked out of the way.
"What's going on?"
After seeing that the stubborn stone was actually knocked out by Xianjiu, Gu Zhou's face was full of disbelief: "...... Why do you feel that Gu Ling's Thunder Seal Cat has such a strong attack power? β
Gu Ling originally thought that the stubborn stone would be able to take this move with a flash of lightning, and then he could counterattack.
But Xian Jiu first used the shadow clone to interfere, so that the stubborn stone couldn't tell which one was the real Xian Jiu, and now the power caused by the flash of lightning was far beyond Gu Zhou's calculations, catching him off guard.
Since passive defense didn't work, Gu Zhou could only choose to take the initiative to attack: "Stubborn stone, use rolling!" β
[Roll]: A rock-based skill that uses five rolling attacks in a row, and each time you hit the opponent, the power will gradually increase.
After the stubborn stone stood up from the ground, he hugged his face with both hands, and his whole body formed a stone ball, rolling out in the direction of Xianjiu.
"Gu Ling, you have to be careful, the rolling attack of the stubborn stone is very powerful."
As soon as Gu Zhou reminded this sentence, he swept his afterglow, but saw that Xian Jiu did not show any signs of dodging, and the two cat pupils stared directly at the stubborn stone rolling in.
Gu Ling's face was still light.
"What's the situation...... No way! β
Xianjiu's cat tail lit up with a white light of steel luster, and the soft tail instantly hardened, and with a flick of it, the iron tail hit the rolling stubborn stone.
The stubborn stone that was rolling at high speed suddenly stopped rolling because of this blow to the iron tail.
"Miwoo~"
Xian Jiu Milk screamed fiercely, and then Tiewei continued to exert force, directly slapping the stubborn stone out.
A perfect parabola is born.
"Don't Don't ......"
Looking at the stubborn stone flying towards him, Gu Zhou's face changed suddenly, and in a hurry, he chose to squat down with his head in his hands.
With a "whoosh", the stubborn stone flew over Gu Zhou's head, but smashed straight into the vegetable garden behind him, overpowering a large piece of vegetable leaves.
Seeing this scene, Gu Ya's face changed: "It's too bad." β
Gu Ling and Gu Zhou, who realized it later, saw this ruined vegetable garden, and their faces were stunned for a moment.
Gu Ya shouted anxiously, "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and help the vegetable seedlings up! This is the vegetable seedling that my mother borrowed from Aunt Li's house just two days ago, and it has been precious recently......"
Hearing this, Gu Ling and Gu Zhou immediately ran over, squatted on the vegetable field, and held the vegetable seedlings one by one with their hands, trying to straighten the vegetable seedlings.
Seeing that the beast master was so nervous, Stubborn Stone and Xian Jiu also did the same, and ran over to pick up the nearest vegetable seedling with their hands.
"Hurry, hurry...... Add some soil to consolidate the ......"
"The one over there is down, ......"
"What if this side is broken? Can you bury it in the soil and pretend you don't know? β
ββ¦β¦β
When the three of them were hurriedly taking various remedies, a voice suddenly came from behind them: "...... Of course not, or I'd like to bury you all in the ground and pretend you didn't exist. β
The three of them froze, and turned their heads mechanicallyβ
Xiang Jinli crossed her hands on her hips, although the corners of her mouth were smiling, her face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and her eyes were staring at the three of them with gloom.
The three were shocked.
And the culprit Gu Zhou and Gu Ling had a thought in their minds at the same time:
Finished.
β¦β¦
Ten minutes later.
in the living room.
Xiang Jinli sat on the sofa, holding a feather duster in her right hand, patting her left palm gently with a sense of rhythm, and her eyes were staring at Gu Ling and Gu Zhou, who were busy cleaning in the living room.
Gu Zhou held a dustpan in his left hand and a broom in his right hand, tremblingly cleaning the floor in the living room, resolutely not letting go of the dust in every corner.
And Gu Ling was holding a wet rag in his hand, and he was constantly wiping the glass of the window, but whenever he touched the slightest stain, he couldn't wait to rub it back and forth hundreds of times until the glass became clean and transparent.
Gu Ya, as the eldest sister of the two, was standing beside Xiang Jinli at the moment, gently helping Xiang Jinli knead her shoulders and massage her neck.
Regarding the fate of her younger brothers and sisters now, Gu Ya said that she could not do anything.
And in Xiang Jinli's arms, Xian Jiu shrunk into a ball, like a very soft marshmallow.
"Mi woo~" Xian Jiu blinked the cat's pupils, the cat's tail kept dangling, even if he was ravaged by Xiang Jinli and the hair on his whole body exploded, he still didn't dare to move.
On the side, Stubborn Stone was holding the teapot with both hands, Xiang Jinli looked at it lightly, and immediately poured tea into the empty cup on the coffee table, and then held the cup in front of Xiang Jinli.
After Xiang Jinli took a sip of tea, she put the cup on the coffee table, and the crisp sound made the three people and the two pets dare not come out, and they tried hard to reduce their sense of presence one by one.
Xiang Jinli sighed lightly.
Once the bear child is quiet, don't doubt that he must be secretly doing bad things!
"Gu Zhou, take out your game console."
Didn't she ruin her vegetable garden just for a game console?
Heh~ Then she confiscated it.
"Huh?!" Gu Zhou, who was sweeping the floor, looked up in astonishment.
Xiang Jinli's eye knife flew over: "Ahhh Gu Zhou, do you have any opinions? Do you dare to secretly use your living expenses to buy a game console? You think it's too much for living, aren't you? β
"No, no, no!"
Gu Zhou shook his head again and again to deny it, but he was a little unwilling, and hurriedly looked at Gu Ling.
Gu Zhou: Do you want to say a word?
Gu Ling: What do you say? I didn't dare say anything......
Gu Zhou: Hasn't my mother always loved you the most? You're a coquette, won't the game console come back?
Gu Ling: Good way, then why don't you go coquettish? The console is yours and not mine.
Gu Zhou: I would like to! But my mom doesn't like to see me coquettish! She thought it was more like the cry of a circus monkey......
Gu Ling: Poof......
