Chapter 138 The Old Man, the Dog and the Proof of the King
"Then I'd be rude." Luo Mu cleared his throat and said softly: "Excuse me, have any of your Pokémon reached their life limit or died of illness in recent years?"
Luo Mu's question almost made Lila and Budi freeze up. This is a sensitive issue, and it is completely exposing other people's scars. It is not surprising that someone with a bad temper is beaten and kicked out.
Tran was stunned for a moment, seeming to have remembered something, and his expression turned slightly sad: "You should know that I am a ranger. After I married my wife when I was young, I have been committed to protecting the environment and Pokémon for a long time. In my dream, I often go out for ten and a half months to fight against poachers.”
"After returning home one time, I saw the profile of my wife holding back her loneliness, and I suddenly realized that I had failed to fulfill my duties as a husband. Later, I rescued a paparazzi after a ranger activity. , and gave it to his wife to raise.”
"My wife liked it very much and named it "Dou Ding". Paparazzi was rescued by me from the research institute. He was subjected to many experiments by bad people, so his health was never very good. On a winter night three years ago, Douding still could not survive the winter and left due to illness. wife. "
"After seeing my wife in tears, I chose to reduce my patrol duties and spend less time with her."
After Trang told the story of their couple's past, the room fell into silence for a short time.
Budi had begun to secretly wipe away tears, Lila was also feeling a little emotional, and Luo Mu also knew the deeper reason why Trang was unwilling to take action.
Although he felt sympathy for Trung's wife, Luo Mu did not forget about the business. Now that all the intelligence had been collected, he asked in his mind: "System, is there something wrong with my thinking?"
[No problem, host]
Luo Mu has been thinking about what role the system can play for him today. Apart from treasure hunting, this reminder that can help him reduce trial and error steps is probably the most useful, and can help him solve all the trivial things that may hinder him.
And all he needs to do next is to use his strength.
After temporarily calling Telang and Lila out of the cabin, and letting Budi take care of Telang's wife, Luo Mu said to them calmly: "I already know the cause of your wife's illness, Mr. Telang."
Trang originally wanted to refuse Luo Mu's invitation to travel with him, so calling him out specifically was usually just for this kind of thing, right?
But Luo Mu's voice made Telang stunned, and then he involuntarily raised his feet to approach Luo Mu, put his hands on Luo Mu's shoulders, and stammered: "You really know!?"
Lila was a little confused. How did Luo Mu know?
Luo Mu nodded slightly and said calmly: "Mr. Telang, before your wife became ill in bed, did she have more smiles on her face, or her mood became better, and she often stayed outside the house?"
Trung was startled and recalled carefully that he occasionally left home to go down the mountain to do shopping, or that he would briefly finish the ranger work for a day. His wife's smiling face would greet him every time he came home.
He thought it was because he spent more time with her after Douding left, so she showed more smiles.
"Indeed, there is nothing wrong with what you said."
Under Lila's wide-eyed gaze, Trang nodded slowly.
At this time, he suddenly felt that this young man was a bit scary. He had obviously not mentioned these things, but the other party knew so many things.
Lila couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Luo Mu, what do you mean, do you want Doudin to become a ghost-type Pokémon?"
Luo Mu nodded, then shook his head: "Yes, maybe not. Look there."
Luo Mu pointed to the location where he first found the candle still burning during the day.
The candle had no intention of burning out and was still burning.
Lila looked in the direction of Luo Mu's finger and frowned: "Is the candle light effective?"
Luo Mu didn't speak, but Te Lang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "That should be the candle on the head of the tomb dog?"
Lila was not familiar with the Pokémon in the Padia region. On the contrary, as a ranger, Trang, who lived in Freezer Town, was somewhat familiar with the names and characteristics of these Pokémon.
Trang couldn't help but move closer. After approaching the candle for a certain distance, the Pokémon hiding in the snow seemed to notice it. A strange cry sounded out, a very ethereal barking sound.
Then, the Pokémon under the snow suddenly jumped out, seemingly wanting to scare Tron.
If it were a snowy night, passers-by who didn't know the truth about this behavior might be scared, but it was daytime now, and the Pokémon's identity had been revealed by Trang.
Gravepuppies, ghost-type Pokémon, seem to like scaring people, but in fact this is their attempt to attract human attention.
This Pokémon has a gentle and affectionate personality and is afraid of loneliness. It is famous for being the most suitable ghost-type Pokémon as a companion.
The tomb boy tilted his head and stuck out his tongue, as if wondering why Trang didn't respond.
Under the silent gazes of Luo Mu and Lila, Trang slowly squatted down as if he was afraid of scaring away the tomb dog, and said in a trembling voice: "Douding. Is it Douding?"
"Woof woof!"
As if hearing the key words, the tomb dog's eyes lit up, and he barked several times in a row as if in response.
Trang's eyes suddenly turned red.
"No wonder I prescribed energy-replenishing medicine for Mrs. Meira several times but it didn't work. It turns out that's the case."
The doctor suddenly realized when he looked at Meila, who was being held in Trang's arms but couldn't stop looking at Meira on the hospital bed.
Judging from the size of this grave pup, it is obviously a newly born ghost-type Pokémon, and it even coincides with the time when Mrs. Mela fell ill.
At this time, it was difficult for the tomb dog to control himself, and he almost unconsciously absorbed the energy of human beings.
Although I don’t know why Mrs. Mela would contact the tomb dog without telling Mr. Trung, no matter how strong the medicine he prescribes, there is no way to deal with this situation!
Looking at Trang, the doctor warned: "As long as the grave dog is not allowed to come into contact with Old Madam Meira for the time being, she will regain consciousness after a period of recuperation."
Trang nodded solemnly, and the tomb boy seemed to know that he was the one who made Meira sick, and lowered his head in shame.
After the doctor left, Trang breathed a sigh of relief as if he had pushed away a big stone that was weighing on his heart, and bowed to Luo Mu and Lila: "Thank you for helping me find the cause of Meila's illness, and even helping me I got Douding back."
"You're welcome, we also need something from you."
Lila stepped forward and helped Trang up.
"You're right." A flash of light flashed in Trung's turbid eyes, and his voice suddenly became much more serious, "Now that Mela's strange illness has been cured and I have no worries, I will help you climb the highest peak of Frost Moist Mountain. I took over the matter. Hunter J has a bad reputation, so we must capture her as soon as possible.”
Seeing that Trang agreed to the request for assistance, Lila and Budi couldn't help but look happy.
Luo Mu, on the other hand, was startled by what Trang suddenly thrust into his hand.
It was an item with a crown. Luo Mu recognized this thing. This was the proof of kingship that he was considering looking for for Lord Mosquito Repellent!
Seeing Luo Mu's surprised expression, Trang smiled and said, "Not only did you help me find out the cause of Mela's illness, but you also helped us find Doudin, who was reincarnated into a ghost-type Pokémon. This kindness is really great." "Sir, please accept this meager gift of thanks to make me feel a little better."
".I see."
Luo Mu hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to accept it.
"Great, then I'm going to prepare the equipment needed to climb the highest peak of Frostmoist Mountain later."
Te Lang looked happy and walked towards the room inside, hands behind his back.
Budi, who had taken over the task of taking care of Mrs. Mela during Trang's absence, suddenly came over and asked curiously: "Is the tomb boy really the reincarnation of the paparazzi Doudin? This is too romantic! "
Lila also cast a curious gaze over, obviously she was also very curious.
However, Luo Mu just smiled mysteriously, shook his head and said, "It's not important."
For Trang and Meira, as long as they feel and believe that Tombazzi is the reincarnation of Paparazzi Douding, this is the comfort for their souls and they look forward to the salvation of meeting Paparazzi Douding again.
As for the tomb boy, he really has memories of the name "Dou Ding". Or maybe it was because of the characteristics of their family members, and the name of Mrs. Meira who stubbornly believed that the tomb boy was Doudin, so the tomb boy thought it was his own name.
The answer, does it really matter?
Sometimes, it's better not to get to the bottom of things.
