A person abandoned by the Pokémon world

Chapter 317 Fireworks and Populus euphratica (Part )

Kaji Town, a town filled with a suspicious atmosphere, is the hiding place of ninjas. It is a small town in the northernmost part of the Johto region and is known as the Ninja Town.

Although it is called the hometown of ninjas, you cannot see any ninjas here, and there is no atmosphere that a ninja village should have.

It is a very comfortable town suitable for retirement, and is the third smallest city in Chengdu.

However, it is precisely because of this tranquility that the Rockets chose this place to build a secret base.

Team Rocket seems to be conducting secret experiments here. The experimental location is the "Lake of Anger" near Kaji Town, and Kaji Town is their hidden spot.

Without saying any more, Bai An arrived at the gate of Kaji Town.

There are two tall poplar trees at the entrance of the town. Under one of the trees there is an old man in a wheelchair.

Anyone could see the sign of old age from the old man, and he was probably not going to live long.

"Brother Huyang!

You’re back!? "

A gleam of light flashed in her cloudy eyes. She spoke fluently but her voice was not very strong. She seemed to have forgotten the fact that she was unable to move. She stood up and was about to greet Bai An.

But she only took a small step and was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, Bai An reacted...

It should be said that fortunately the old man reacted slowly and it took him a lot of effort to get up from the wheelchair, giving Bai An the opportunity to get closer.

The old man grabbed Bai An's hand and said, "Is that you, Brother Huyang?"

Tears welled up in the old man's eyes. Bai An's mind told him that he couldn't recognize him, but seeing the old man's state, Bai An couldn't bear to see the disappointed expression on the old man's face after he said it wasn't him.

Fortunately, Bai An didn't have to worry too much. A young man came out of Kaji Town and cursed at the old woman: "You old woman, you came out again when I couldn't see you for a while!"

But he was very polite to Bai An:

"I'm sorry to trouble you, my grandma is old and her eyesight and brain are not working well.

If you don't mind, come to my house and have some hot tea and rest your feet. "

"No need to bother, I still have things to do." Bai An refused.

"Well, I won't bother you anymore.

By the way, this is the Angry Bun, a specialty of Kaji Town, as my grandma’s apology for what she did just now.”

The young man handed over an oil-paper bag and pushed the old man away without giving Bai An a chance to refuse.

The old man turned around and looked at Bai An and shouted: "Brother Huyang, it's me, I am Hua Huo!"

Bai An was stunned for a moment: "Fireworks..."

"Shut up, your lover is dead!

Do you think everyone can live to be 105 years old like you? "

"It was Brother Huyang, it was Brother Huyang. I dreamt about him. He was in the water, in the cave. He said he would come to find me!"

The old man's stubborn tone made the young man helpless and angry: "I said you were clearly here to rest, why did you suddenly come to this poplar tree? It turns out you dreamed about him.

Grandma, please don't mention that man, because of him, our family has never been able to hold our heads up high in this town!"

“Poplars and fireworks, is that what I thought?

I suddenly became curious."

Bai An looked at the young people and the old people walking away, and couldn't help but think of the "human-shaped Pokémon" in his mind.

"Go ask around. From what he said, they should be very famous in town."

Passing by a newspaper, Bai An casually picked up a map. After coughing to attract the boss's attention, Bai An said, "Boss, what's going on with the old man in the wheelchair at the entrance of the town?"

"You said Hanabi, did she mistake you for Huyang?

Don't worry about her, she's just a crazy old lady who's missing her lover so much."

There was no respect for the old man in the newspaper owner's tone, instead there was a look of disdain.

"Oh? I'm a little curious. Can you tell me about it?" Bai An took out a banknote with a large denomination that could buy more than a dozen such maps. His original intention was that the extra money would be a reward.

Unexpectedly, the boss muttered, "Is it such a large amount? Is there a smaller one?"

Without waiting for Bai An to answer, he rummaged in the cash box, saying non-stop: "Actually, I don't really know. After all, I wasn't even born when that happened. It was my father who told me.

When my father was alive, Kaji Town was still a small village, and every household made a living by growing wheat in the mountains.

Hua Huo is a very ordinary girl in the village. The only unusual thing about her is that she has been engaged to Feng Cheng, a boy from the neighboring village, since she was a child.

At that time, arranging a marriage for children meant that they were already a couple, and everyone took this very seriously.

But it was under such circumstances that Hanabi was caught doing something with Huyang on the day of the harvest celebration.

This was a very serious matter at the time, especially since Hua Huo had an arranged marriage and nominally belonged to Fengcheng.

According to the customs at that time, Hua Huo and Hu Yang were to be burned to death as a sacrifice to the god of harvest, but Feng Cheng came forward to forgive them, and the matter ended there.

Even so, Hua Huo was still not satisfied, and one day she made an appointment to elope with Hu Yang.

As a result, that night, Hua Huo arrived at the agreed location, which was under the two poplar trees in front of the town.

She waited for Hu Yang for most of the night but he didn't come. The next morning she ran to Hu Yang's house to look for him, but the house was empty and Hu Yang had run away by himself.

Fengcheng is a real man, as he is willing to accept fireworks.

Originally, this matter would have just passed, but no one expected that Huo Huo would live a long life. She is 105 years old this year and still alive and well.

There's nothing wrong with living a long life, but after Fengcheng died more than 20 years ago, she developed Alzheimer's disease and ran to the poplar tree every day to elope with it.

This is not the original story, but now it has spread again.”

"She herself is fine. A crazy old woman with Alzheimer's disease, she probably won't live for many days. But it's hard for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They have been the object of ridicule since they were young. They probably won't be able to hold their heads up in this life."

The newspaper owner sighed.
