New Years Eve in Pokémon World

The Xuanshan Station located in Mocheng, the full name is Xuanshan Beiyu Qianhu Station. Because of the dangerous terrain, it was a place for military strategists in ancient times. However, this has turned out to be a bad thing in modern times. The inconvenient transportation factor has made this small county useless. So rich.

However, prices here are not high and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

However, during the Spring Festival every year, young people working in other places return to their hometowns one after another, so the Spring Festival is especially lively. Temple fairs at this time are also very grand.

When Matsuno drove the car to Xuanshansuo, it was rare that there was a traffic jam on this small road, which usually saw almost no cars.

Finally arriving at the destination, Matsuno found a place to park, while Zhulan stayed where he was, holding Xiaoyao with his left hand and Youshu with his right hand.

She pushed her sunglasses up on her head and took a closer look. This world from another world, the familiar sky and the familiar earth, gave her the feeling that she was still in the elf world, but looking at the rows of red flowers in the countryside The small farmhouse made of bricks and tiles, with an architectural style different from that of the elf world, constantly impacted her senses.

It's definitely different here.

"Wait a minute, are you hot?" Matsuno trotted over, "There's Snow City milk tea ahead, how about a cup of it to relieve the heat?"

milk tea?

It sounds like something to drink, but how do you put milk and tea together?

Zhulan was confused in her heart for a second, but she didn't show it at all on her face, "Okay, but I have something else to do later. Xiaosong, you are familiar here, and I would like to ask you to help me."

After speaking, she took out a small bag from her bag, which contained more than 10 gold beads. "I want to exchange these for money, but I have no experience."

Zhulan didn't have coins from another world, but she couldn't accept it as an adult spending the money of a half-year-old Matsuno, and it was said that the money for Matsuno to go to college was raised for him by the owner of Qianli Hall. Yes, this is even worse.

Exchanging coins is easy, you can go to some gold shops to get it done. Matsuno nodded and said that he could cover it with him. This was a serious matter and it must come before eating, drinking and having fun, so Matsuno led the three people directly to the gold shop. Before setting off, of course there is no problem buying a cup of milk tea in advance.

Milk tea shops in small cities are also very down-to-earth, and the prices are very affordable. Even Matsuno can afford it, so he waved his hand proudly and let the three of them order whatever they wanted.

Xiaoyao was very excited along the way, looking left and right. She stood in front of the counter of the milk tea shop and pointed at the latest mulberry-flavored drink on the sign. Yushu also chose one from the sign very carefully.

When it was Zhulan's turn, she seemed to hesitate for a moment. She seemed a little entangled in the row of drink orders. She didn't know why. The clerks didn't seem to urge her. This is probably the privilege of beautiful girls.

"I want this classic...bubble milk tea." Zhulan smiled, "I feel like if you add fruit, it won't be considered milk tea."

In addition to milk and beer, the only drinks in the Elf World are various fruit juices. Even sodas are mostly fruit-flavored, so she is really not interested in these fruit-flavored drinks, but she wants to try this milk tea that she has never tasted before. .

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After a while, the four of them came out with their own drink glasses.

What Xiaoyao and Youshu ordered were indeed the new products of the season. The cups were full of toppings and the taste looked good. However, the only drawback was that the straws seemed to be unable to suck up. The two of them held the straws and sucked hard... …and kinda cute.

This is probably the privilege of children.

Zhulan was very satisfied with the cup of milk tea he ordered. It was his first time to try the combination of milk and tea. He didn't expect that these two unrelated drinks would have a unique flavor when mixed together.

It’s better to have your own vision and choose well.

Zhulan silently gave herself a thumbs up.

Walking on the road, the bamboo orchid has a particularly high rate of turning heads, and it has become the focus of pedestrians. Even those who walk with their heads down while playing with their mobile phones will turn around and look back when they pass by.

In this small city, such a beautiful light blond hair beauty is too rare.

Matsuno also noticed this phenomenon, and he couldn't help but shook his head.

Sure enough, in the hot summer, if you order hot bubble milk tea, you will be watched by everyone.

"Is this a temple fair? It looks so lively!" Xiaoyao was a little excited, but Matsuno shook his head, "Don't be so happy, the real temple fair hasn't arrived yet."

"It's so lively, isn't it a temple fair?"

"Yes, I need to go to the gold shop to exchange my banknotes first." As he said that, Matsuno walked into the gold shop first, but as soon as he entered, a polite waiter said with an apology, "Sorry, miss, we won't let you in the shop." Photography, please understand..."

Zhulan was stunned. She looked at the camera in her hand, turned around and put it into Youshu's hand. Then she waved her hand to the stunned Youshu, "You two go around the area and take a picture. Don’t go too far, or you two won’t be found in a while.”

Youshu and Xiaoyao looked at each other and nodded excitedly. Thinking about it carefully, following an adult to a gold store is not as interesting as walking around freely outside.

Matsuno didn't say much. Although his small county town was not that rich, the people were simple-hearted and there had never been human traffickers, so he just let them go.

Xiaoyao was the first to rush out. He jumped down without even looking at the five steps at the door of the gold shop. Youshu held up the camera and took a step behind. He tried hard to keep the picture steady and reluctantly followed behind.

"Slow down a little bit..."

Youshu pushed him up, and just as he complained, he saw Xiaoyao had stopped in front of a stall.

This is a street stall set up by an old man. He immediately beams when he sees a child approaching.

"Are you from Little Doll City? You are very sharp."

This old man sells some old-fashioned toys that are not very valuable, including wind-up frogs, noise-making cloth tigers, and a few Barbie dolls that are obviously not genuine.

Yushu pointed the camera at the stall, and through the small screen at the bottom of the camera, he saw subtitles scrolling on it.

[Dr. Odamaki]: The green one looks like the mosquito-repellent frog king, and the barking doll looks a bit like a wind speed dog.

[Dawu]: It is indeed somewhat similar, but the details are still different.

The old man setting up the stage saw that Youshu was still holding a camera, so he couldn't help but start a conversation, "Where did you two little dolls come from?"

"We came from Mobai Town." Xiaoyao looked at the things on the ground without raising his head, but the old man was stunned for a moment. He was so old and was familiar with the surrounding area. He had never heard of such a thing in Mobai Town. A place where I couldn’t help but ask.

"Where exactly is it?"

"Over there at my house."

Xiaoyao answered seriously. This answer successfully choked the old man, and then he couldn't help laughing. He picked up the iron frog that Xiaoyao had been staring at for the longest time, and without any explanation, stuffed it into Xiaoyao's hand. "The little girl is very cute. Let's give her a toy to take home and play with."

Xiaoyao was startled and waved her hands quickly: "Thank you, grandpa, I have money!" She took out the pink banknotes that Matsuno gave her as a New Year gift from her pocket. When the old man saw it, he was even happier.

"You give me this money, but I can't find it."

The old man looked at Youshu next to him and saw that the two of them came together, and he warmly greeted him to choose one for free. The two children could not resist their enthusiasm, so they put down their things and ran away.

[Dr. Omu]: Hahaha, people like children when they get older. When I give lectures, I always prepare something in advance for the children who raise their hands to speak.

[Mikri]: Since it's a free gift, there's nothing wrong with accepting it. I suggest you choose the toy that looks like a wind speed dog. I don't know what this thing is called.

[Dago]: There should be something similar to a whistle hidden in the back half. When it is pulled, the airflow passes through, allowing the sound generator at the back to make a sound.

As expected of the heir to a large scientific research company, he could tell the secrets at a glance.

[Dr. Omu]: Wait a minute, kid, stop at the bookstall in front and see what’s inside.

There was a middle-aged man in front of him who had set up an old bookstall. There were many old second-hand books in it, as well as some comic books. When he saw a child coming over, he quickly greeted him warmly.

[Dr. Oki]: The 1th book in the 5st row, the 2st book from the right in the 1nd row, and the middle book in the 4th row. I want these 3 books first. If you have enough money, you can also ask for the middle book in the last row. .

Youshu discovered that the covers of the comic strips selected by Dr. Ohki were more or less related to animals. Dr. Ohki did not choose any of the covers next to them depicting talented men and beauties, or martial arts fights.

"Okay kid, let me help you put it up... "The Monkey King is Born", "The Twelve Zodiac Signs", "The Crane Repays a Favor" and "The Story of the Nian Beast" total 20 yuan, kid, I'll give you 80, put the change here Don’t lose it in your pocket.”

[Mikri]: Except for the last one, are all the other stories about mythical beasts?It feels like a lot.

[Dago]: As I imagined, the non-human existence in this world is more active, and it is not strange to leave more rumors.

Youshu looked at the subtitles that popped up on the screen and felt that what he was holding was not a simple little book, but some important scientific research information. He immediately held it tightly in his hand. Xiaoyao wanted to come over and help carry it. Youshu Shu didn't even let her help.

However, this tense atmosphere gradually dissipated in the joyful festive atmosphere and various hawking, and people began to look around with interest.

There were more and more street stalls set up here, and the two children's eyes were immediately attracted by the stall set up by an old lady.

This old woman seems to be a craftsman. There is a pile of red paper at her feet. She holds scissors in her hand. She seems to cut as she pleases, and a lifelike animal image appears.

[Mikri]: This old lady has something special. Doing this requires some art skills and practice makes perfect.

The two children had never seen such a scene before, and they were immediately stunned by the old lady's skills. They stared at the flexible scissors in the old lady's hands, and their mouths opened wide unconsciously.

"Like it? Just pick one if you like it."

The gray-haired old lady saw two children coming to her stall and stretched out her hand to say hello. Unexpectedly, the two children immediately became wary and said, "We want to give you money, so you can't give it to us for free."

old lady:"?"

She didn't understand what it meant. She didn't know that Youshu and Xiaoyao were frightened by the enthusiastic old man just now, so they explained, "The person who collected the money is 2 yuan a piece. Who do you two belong to?" of?"

What is it?

Youshu and Xiaoyao were stunned for a moment, then shook their heads.

Pokémon have many attributes such as water, fire, grass, rock, earth, steel, super, etc. However, humans generally do not have special powers, so there are no attributes.

"Haha, you two kids have grown so big and you still don't know your zodiac sign? Haven't you heard of the story of the twelve zodiac signs?"

The old lady smiled with wrinkles on her face, revealing only a few teeth left in her mouth. "How old are you this year? Let me calculate it for you."

"We are both 7 years old."

Xiaoyao explained, and Youshu felt a little familiar when he heard the word "Twelve Zodiac Signs", as if he had seen it somewhere. Then he opened the handbag with the comic book in his hand and saw a book "Twelve Zodiac Signs" inside. .

Does it turn out to be related to this story?

"I calculated that 7 years ago... I should have been born in the year of Sheep."

The old lady took out two paper-cuts of little sheep from the stall, put them into plastic film, pressed them with a plastic machine, and handed them to the two children. Yushu immediately took out four 4-yuan sheets and handed them to the old man. , for fear that she would not accept it.

[Dr. Ohki]: Yushu, please buy another copy. My grandson Xiaomao is also 7 years old this year. This paper-cut is very detailed. I want to bring him a copy.

[Mi Keli]: This thing called paper-cutting is quite unique. Yushu, please help me ask what the age of 24 should be... By the way, Dawu is 17 this year, ask him too.

"Grandma, I want to buy another paper-cut of a lamb. Also, what should the age of 24 and 17 be?" Youshu asked obediently.

"I am 17 years old and should be born in the year of Monkey."

The old lady blurted out that her grandson was also 17 years old this year, so he was familiar with this age group, "Young man is asking questions for the family, right? He's quite filial."

"As for the age of 24, it is the year of the animal, and it is the same year as this year."

The old lady explained that she felt that the two children didn't even know their zodiac signs, and they certainly didn't know what their zodiac year was.

"Every 12 years, it is your turn to be in your zodiac year. If this zodiac year is not good, your fortune will be very bad." The old lady advised, "Stop buying paper-cuts, kid. Use this money to buy a red trouser belt for your relatives." Or something like red underwear/pants, which is more auspicious.”

Red belt?Red underwear/pants?

At the other end of the screen, Mi Keli lowered his head and looked at his gorgeous clothes, especially the white pants on his legs that he designed himself. If he wears red underwear, it will definitely show through, so look It looks like...

He has a red butt.

Mikri shuddered.

[Mikri]: No need!

[Mikri]: No need to buy these for me!I live a good life, nothing goes wrong!

At this time, Xiaoyao asked from the side, "What will happen in this year? Is it serious?"

The old lady replied with a serious expression: "This depends on personal luck. Some people will have nothing to do in their zodiac year, but some people may encounter bloody disasters!"

Blood... bloody disaster?

Youshu's expression straightened, "Thank you, grandma, then we don't want the tiger paper-cut. And..."

"Please tell us where we can buy red underwear."

"Many thanks!"
