Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Chapter 24: Settling and returning gifts

Bansai is a small and large city, belonging to the country of Chikri and also in the Yorubian Continent, but it is located in the southwest corner. The clear spring water flowing down the mountain forms a stream that irrigates the plain. Such excellent conditions are very suitable for planting anything, but the Bansai people love flowers more, so the plains in the suburbs are all covered with colorful flowers, and the city is also full of flowers. Flowers are planted everywhere, the dazzling and warm colors and the fragrance of flowers floating in the air all the time make the city extra enchanting, so Bansai is also known as the flower capital.

This is the city that Celluloid chose at the beginning. After reading an introduction to the world's landscapes, she yearned for it very much, because Celluloid is also a flower lover, and being able to live in such a beautiful city is also a kind of enjoy.

What's more, this city is also very suitable for celluloid living in other considerations. Bansai is a medium-sized city, neither too big nor too small. Living here, without the pollution, noise, and high crime rate of a big city, would not The pace of life is too fast, the pressure is too high, and it is difficult to make a living. It is also not like a small place because it is too narrow, the news is closed, and the job is not easy to find.

And most importantly, in terms of human relations, such a medium-sized city is also the most suitable. There will be no weak human relations in big cities. After living for a few years, you don't even know who your opposite neighbor is. No one wants to help in such a dilemma. There is no such thing as a small place because the place is too small, the people know each other too well, and the residents are too enthusiastic to keep their privacy.

What Cellulu hopes for is a relationship that is close but not close, a warm but not enthusiastic way of communication, which is also very beneficial to hide her anomalies. It is not easy to reveal her secrets in big cities, but it makes her feel very tired. , No one cares, no one to accompany, feeling lonely. Although it is easy to get acquainted with people in small places, and the relationship between neighbors will indeed be closer, but too closeness is also a headache for Celluloid. In this kind of place, there is almost no privacy. You can all know that, but it also increases the risk of her own secret exposure and shortens the time she can live.

Therefore, the relationship between a medium-sized city is maintained at a short distance, and the situation where they are neither intimate nor unfamiliar with each other is the most suitable for Celluloid. Celluloid's favorite distance. When something happens, others will help you, but they won't interfere too much in your private affairs.

With 40 million in her body, many things have become much easier. After coming to this city, Cellulu inquired in and out of the city every day to see if anyone wanted to rent a house. Strict, and the procedures are very complete, it is difficult for her to get in. Fortunately, there are always people who do not want to rent through an intermediary, either because they are lazy, or they are reluctant to pay the intermediary fee. In short, after three days of running, Cellulu quickly found a house, which was relatively close to the suburbs. After a few stops on the bus, it was the Plain of Flowers outside the city.

Although it is a house with a single door and a single courtyard, it is not very big. At best, it is a three-bedroom and one-hall layout. However, Celluloid lives alone anyway, so I don’t care. In fact, the design of this house is quite unreasonable. The house is very It is small, but the front and rear gardens are quite large. Almost all of them can build two or three houses in the garden. It is estimated that it is not practical, and it is difficult to rent them out, so the rent is not high.

But Cellulu liked it very much. The garden has a winding path leading to a secluded feeling. Looking in from the front yard door, you can hardly see the house, which is blocked by the dense trees. There is even a small pond dug in the back yard. , but it stinks because of neglect of management, but Cellulo doesn't mind, just tidy up a little after moving in. The result of the house inspection was quite satisfactory, and Cellulo immediately decided on the house.

Using mind control to confuse the issue of identity, Cellulu paid half a year's rent to the landlord. , happily collected the rent and left.

Moving in, it took about a week to get the house ready for people to live in. As for the garden, it will take time to come, but Cellulu has not forgotten that she still owes others favors and money, so after almost settling in, prepare After a while, I immediately went to Whale Island first.

Xiaojie and Mitt were very happy when they saw Celluloid, but they also resented why she came to pay back the money in such a hurry. , patted her with a smile, and was very happy that she could come again.

After paying back the money, Cellulu took out a shawl and a skirt, spread it out, smiled and said to Mitt and her mother-in-law:

"Mother-in-law, Miss Mitte, thank you very much for taking care of you last time. This time I brought two things, just a little bit, I hope you will accept it with a smile."

As she spoke, Cellulu shook the shawl and smiled at her mother-in-law:

"Mother-in-law, this is the shawl I gave you. I knitted it myself. It's cold and it just came in handy. Please don't refuse it, you must accept it."

Seeing that Cellulo was so determined, her mother-in-law no longer refused and accepted it happily. The shawl was a warm camel color, with delicate flowers hooked on it, and intricate fringes beside it, just like a handicraft.

Seeing such a delicate shawl, the mother-in-law narrowed her eyes and boasted:

"Celullu's hands are so clever, my mother-in-law is reluctant to put them on her body."

"No, mother-in-law, you are too complimented." Cellulu turned her head in a haughty manner, picked up the skirt again, looked at Mitt, and said sincerely:

"Miss Mitt, thank you last time. This is also a dress I made myself. I hope you can accept it. This dress is a summer dress, because the embroidery I am good at is more suitable for embroidering on thinner fabrics. Miss Te can wear it, the size should match, but please try it out, and I can change it if there is anything wrong."

Seeing the exquisite shawl, Mitt also liked it very much. Seeing how sincere Cellulu was, she was no longer polite.

The skirt is a brocade fabric, quite smooth, with a pearly white background, and a short knee-length skirt with thin straps. The style is very simple, but the flowers embroidered on it suddenly make the dress dazzling. Starting from the right breast, the light The purple wisteria flowers and the light green branches and leaves are intertwined with each other, extending all the way down to the skirt. The large purple echoes are a string of wisteria woven from the brocade on the thin shoulder **** the left. The clothes are elegant as a whole, but have a low-key gorgeousness.

Seeing this dress, Mitt couldn't let go of it because he liked it. He put it on immediately. Simple and low-key clothes always make people feel a few years older than their actual age.

Excited, Mitt turned left and right in front of the mirror, smiling happily at Celluloid:

"Celullu, this dress is so beautiful, thank you."

"As long as you like it, go out and let mother-in-law and Xiaojie have a look. You will definitely be surprised." Seeing that Mitt was so satisfied with this dress, Cellulu was also very happy, and urged Mitt to go out and show it.

Seeing Mitt's new outfit, her mother-in-law kept nodding her head in admiration, Xiaojie's eyes widened in surprise, and she screamed:

"Aunt Mitte, are you rejuvenated?"

Hearing this, Mitt immediately made a gesture of rolling up his sleeves, looked at Xiaojie fiercely, and scolded with a smile:

"What did you say? Xiaojie? Am I very old, your aunt?"

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Xiaojie hurriedly smiled and made amends:

"No, no, Aunt Mitt is not old, because Aunt Mitt has become so beautiful and young, so—"

"There's no need to explain, it's a cover up." Mitt rushed over and rubbed Xiaojie's head fiercely, while Cellulu and her mother-in-law watched and couldn't help laughing.

Xiaojie, who managed to escape from the clutches, muttered to himself while rubbing his hair. Seeing that Aunt Mitte and her mother-in-law both received beautiful gifts, he was a little envious, and involuntarily glanced at Cellulu.

Cellulu, who noticed Xiaojie's sight, turned back and saw that Xiaojie was looking at her with wide eyes. Although she didn't say anything, it was obvious that she was still eager for a gift. said:

"Miss Mitt, can I go for a walk with Xiaojie?"

"Well, of course." Mitt was still there, admiring the dress Celluloid made for her, without turning her head, she agreed.

"Xiaojie, accompany me out for a walk."

Seeing that Mitt agreed, Cellulu got up, nodded to her mother-in-law, and pulled Xiaojie to the door. Xiaojie was also pulled by Cellulu. The two walked towards the forest for a while, making sure that they couldn't see the person behind. Behind the house, Cellulu stopped, turned around, winked at Xiaojie, and said with a smile:

"Hehe, is Xiaojie wondering why he doesn't have a gift of his own?"

Seeing Xiaojie blushing and wanting to refute, Cellulu hurriedly interrupted Xiaojie's words and continued:

"Actually, I've prepared a gift for Xiaojie, but it's inconvenient to take it out in front of Miss Mitte, because I'm afraid that Miss Mitte will get angry."

Seeing Xiaojie's bewildered look, he obviously didn't understand why Aunt Mitt was so angry when he gave him the gift, and Cellulu stopped selling it. She took out a small bottle from her skirt pocket, handed it to Xiaojie, and watched Xiaojie take it. Afterwards, playing there curiously, looking up at the sun from time to time, Cellulu couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth and said softly:

"This bottle contains a flower called Tilan, which according to your father is a very precious and rare medicinal material, as if something can supplement-, supplement-"

Having said that, Cellulu stopped, for a while, she couldn't remember what she could add. She pressed her eyebrows and recalled it, and then she had a flash of inspiration:

"Ah, by the way, it is said that it can supplement the ability of mind. Your father went to that forest to find this kind of flower, which was also given to me by your father at the time."

Xiaojie was listening with great interest, but when he heard that it was given to Cellulu by his father, he was shocked, looked at Cellulo in disapproval, wanted to return the flower to her, and said embarrassedly:

"Sister Cellulu, this is what my father gave to you, I can't accept it~~"

Cellulu quickly waved her hand to tell him not to be impatient, and persuaded him:

"Don't rush to pay me back, Mr. Jin gave me five Tilans at that time, so it doesn't matter if I give you this one, and I don't really need such a precious thing, I just give you one. Think, you shouldn't have anything left for you by your father. Take this Dotila as a kind of encouragement to yourself. Don't you want to catch up with your father? Then don't forget this wish. "

Hearing Cellulu's words, Xiaojie lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he had figured it out, nodded vigorously at Cellulu, gave her a bright smile, and looked at her with burning eyes:

"Sister Cellulu, I know, then I will accept it, thank you."

With a cherished look on his face, he stroked the bottle, and after taking another look, Xiaojie carefully put the bottle away.

"Well, hehe, but now I know why I said that Mitt would get mad when he saw this gift."

Seeing Xiaojie accept it, Cellulu laughed in a good mood.

Xiaojie stuck out his tongue, obviously thinking of the reason.

"Yeah, Aunt Mitte can't stand people mentioning Jin in front of her the most. If Sister Cellulu just took it out, Aunt Mitte would never let me accept it."

"Ah! By the way," Xiaojie suddenly exclaimed as if remembering something, turned his head, and looked at Cellulo curiously:

"Sister Cellulu, what you said just now that Tiran can supplement the ability of the mind, then, what is the ability of the mind?"

"what?"

Apparently, she didn't expect Xiaojie to ask about this. Cellulu was stunned. After thinking about it for a long time, she found that she didn't know what the ability to read was. After listening to Jin's explanation, she didn't ask because she was not interested. When Xiaojie asked, he could only look at him apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Xiaojie, sister, I don't know what the ability to read is, so I can't answer you."

"Well! It's okay, I'll find my father later, and I'll ask him again." Xiaojie shook his head indifferently and answered confidently.

The two talked and laughed and walked back. Mitt warmly invited Cellulu to stay for two days before leaving. Cellulo did not hesitate, and readily agreed. After three days, they said goodbye to Xiaojie and the others, saying that they would be free later. Will definitely play again.
