Chapter 132 Harvest of golden wheat fields and family portrait (4K)

The next day.

Before he knew it, more than a month had passed since Luo Mu planted the new seeds and began to officially grow crops.

It is now mid-February, and there is less than half a month left until Orange College's spring break. In two days, it will be the day agreed upon by Luo Mu and Ye Ci. At that time, he will go to Frost Mountain to carry out the mission against Hunter J.

Some of the crops have matured, and the crops harvested along with all the Pokémon have filled the warehouse that was previously built by the Haoli Engineering Team.

A few days ago, the Haoli Engineering Team completed the replacement of fences in all areas of the ranch. The newly built fences not only bring a sense of security to the weaker Pokémon on the farm, but also protect the wild Pokémon outside that are unable to climb over the fences.

After paying the final payment to the Haoli Engineering Team, Luo Mu, who still had some money left, had already started to think about how to expand the farm in the future.

After deducting the 80,000 Alliance Coins spent on building the fence, plus the more than 123,000 Alliance Coins from the sale of the white fluffy cotton wool and the 50,000 Alliance Coins for the teacher's salary, plus his previous savings, he still had a little over 100,000 Alliance Coins left.

The first choice is the fish fry. Now only Swampert, Gecko, Gecko tadpoles and Haxorus live in Thunder Lake, and there are still large areas left empty.

Not to mention that there are many Pokémon on the farm that can eat fish, Luo Mu himself occasionally wants to drink crucian carp soup, eat some barbecued fish, etc.

At that time, a fishing net will be used in the middle of the lake to demarcate the area where the fry live and the area where Pokémon live. This will make fishing convenient while not causing too much impact on Pokémon.

Then, using the small house as a base, a house was expanded nearby for the Pokémon to live in.

As the number of Pokémon on the farm increased, the small house became increasingly crowded.

The area near the fireplace carpet in the living room on the first floor is occupied by Moltres. Caterpie occasionally sleeps with it and occasionally runs into Luo Mu's room.

There are four flower pots lined up in a row on the balcony on the third floor, and the white fluffy catkins and Oriniu live in them.

The sleeping locations of Flower Therapy Ring and Mahua Dog are not fixed, they can sleep anywhere in the house. Fairy Milk usually sleeps in the cupboard, but the Pokémon of several main teams occupy a larger area.

The Blue Blade Ghost has its own room. Although the Monarch Snake likes to sleep in Luo Mu's room, it also has its own room. Occasionally, when it has a quarrel, the Monarch Snake will go back to sleep.

Mimikyu is either in the quilt or at the head of the bed. Roentgen likes to sleep beside Luomu's bed. Occasionally, he will give up his position to Dragonite and go to sleep at the door.

It’s okay now, but when some Pokémon are added to the farm later, or even Pokémon eggs suddenly appear between some Pokémon on the farm, the house will definitely not be big enough to accommodate them.

In order to prevent any accidents from happening, it is necessary to arrange a hut for the Pokémon to live in.

Farming area.

Luo Mu looked at the golden "ocean" in front of him, and the Katie and Griffon dogs running happily in it, and a smile appeared on his face.

Following other crops, wheat has also fully matured under the influence of the aroma of the mahua dog. As long as the harvest is completed, it can be made into flour through various processes, or the wheat malt germinated from the wheat seeds can be used to brew wheat wine.

There are actually many places that can help with the production of these processes, but this time Luo Mu plans to try it himself.

Although he was old enough to drink, he actually had no interest in alcohol. He wanted to brew some wine just because he was curious about its taste.

Luo Mu plans to grind the harvested wheat into flour to make various pasta.

After inspecting the wheat field, Luo Mu came to the area where the fruit trees were. The once small saplings had now grown into lush branches and leaves. With the careful care of several grass-type Pokémon, it would not be long before they grew fruits.

"Yes!"

Next, Luo Mu wanted to continue to look at the flower field, but a messenger bird in the sky suddenly flew over, gesticulating to indicate to Luo Mu that a guest had come to the farm gate, and the Roentgen cat asked it to come find Luo Mu.

Luo Mu was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he and Sha Li seemed to have agreed to go to each other's house to take photos today?
Since the other party has won an award in photography, his photography skills must be good. Anyway, I don’t know any photographers, so I might as well ask Sha Li to take pictures for me.

The other party still seems very reliable.

"Wow, is this Luo Mu's farm? It looks pretty big~"

Shali picked up the camera and could clearly see the farm that had just been harvested through the lens. There was also a golden wheat field not far away, which made Shali itchy.

Speaking of which, she usually photographs Pokémon or characters, and rarely photographs such innocent rural customs. In other words, maybe she can find the long-lost inspiration on Luo Mu's farm?
"Meow~"

He found a messenger bird that happened to be nearby to call Luo Mu over, and the Roentgen cat finally came back with a vigorous pace. The way it held its head high made it look more like a battle-hardened lion than a cat, with its sharp appearance shed and its aura completely restrained.

This made Sha Li's eyes light up slightly, and she pressed the shutter directly at the Roentgen cat.

She rarely sees such a temperamental Xenon cat in the Sinnoh region!
It is completely different in style from the sharp-edged X-cat that Denci had filmed for the Sinnoh Alliance. From Shali's own aesthetic point of view, the X-cat in front of her undoubtedly hits her spot!

Unable to control her fingers from pressing the shutter button again and again, Shali couldn't help but wonder, whether it was the Dragonite or the Roentgen cat in front of her, was Luo Mu really an ordinary farmer?

At this time, Luo Mu, who was called by the messenger bird, also rushed to the main gate of the farm. He was speechless when he saw Shali posing and taking pictures of the Roentgen cat lying calmly there.

How much she loves taking photos! I'm afraid she'll run out of memory soon.

But Sha Li seemed to have awakened the ability to read minds. Seeing Luo Mu's speechless expression, she directly took out a large number of memory cards with labels from the bag on her waist and proudly introduced her own treasure trove of kings: "As a qualified photographer, you must have a good reserve of memory cards!"

"Oh, by the way, I also prepared enough batteries to last for half a year even if I get lost in the wild."

Luo Mu: “.”

All right, just be happy.

"Family portrait?" Sha Li followed Luo Mu into the farm, her hands holding the camera lowered slightly, "Although this is a field I have never tried before, I have studied related knowledge before, but don't hold too high expectations, okay?"

"After all, I'm at a low point right now."

Shali is confident that she can take a perfect composition, but she cannot guarantee whether the photo is lively and whether it can vividly express the characteristics of each Pokémon.

As an outsider, Luo Mu didn't understand why Shali was so obsessed with her lows and the quality of her photography. Generally speaking, isn't the purpose of a family portrait to create a warm atmosphere and include everyone in one photo?

But Sha Li seemed to be obsessed with something else, and Luo Mu, who was not that close to her, did not dare to ask rashly.

Taking Shali towards the small villa, the Roentgen cat and the messenger bird followed behind Luo Mu. Along the way, Shali looked at the surrounding environment curiously.

Only when you actually enter the farm will you find that it is quite large.

Recovering her scattered attention, Sha Li asked, "For the family portrait, have you decided where to take it?"

"Currently we are planning to shoot in front of the house." Luo Mu kept walking, but his expression was a little stiff.

To be honest, he really hadn't thought about where to take the family photo, and the answer was just a casual one made in a hurry.

Before arriving at the small villa, Shali looked at this old house and said while touching her chin, "Let me ask, how many Pokémon do you have left? How many people are there on the farm? How many individuals do you plan to squeeze into one photo?" Luo Mu was asked this question. To be honest, he had not seriously counted the specific number of Pokémon on the farm.

Adding the six main Pokémon, Growlithe, Puffball, and other Pokémon, plus Moltres, there are a total of twenty-six Pokémon in total!
"Well, there are twenty-six Pokémon, and I'm the only human."

Luo Mu calculated silently in his mind several times before he spoke the number out loud.

"You are quite capable on your own." Sha Li looked at Luo Mu with a hint of respect. She was almost exhausted just taking care of Nightowl, Leafeon and Growlithe, and Luo Mu had to take care of more than twenty different Pokémon.
However, it would be easier with specific numbers. Shali thought for a moment and said, "Can you take me to your farm to see your Pokémon?"

"I think there is a more suitable place to take a family photo on this farm. This house should have a previous owner. This is just my humble opinion. Family photos should be taken in the place where you and Pokémon have created memories together. It's more meaningful, right?"

Luo Mu was silent for a moment, and while he was amazed at Sha Li's observation skills, he nodded slightly: "I understand, then let's start with the tour of her home."

“You can see the strong atmosphere of life. Although it is old, it is very warm.”

Walking on the floor, Shali's camera kept moving. On the first floor, there was a small nest where unknown Pokémon lived, and all kinds of old but well-cleaned furniture.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but something seemed to be moving in the cupboard outside the room that looked like the kitchen.

The camera continued to move, and Sha Li aimed at the other side, which was obviously the living room. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt an endless stream of warmth from there.

The weather has warmed up, so why is the fireplace still on?

Or is it that the fire-type Pokémon is resting in the living room?

"Can I go over there and take a look? Your Pokémon is there, right?"

Shali inquired.

Luo Mu followed her gaze and saw the Pokémon in the living room, probably Moltres.

After all, he had invited Sally to help him take a family photo. Even though Moltres was just eating and drinking for free and not doing any work, it was still the adoptive parent of Growlithe. He had to bring it along when taking the photo. Sally would know about Moltres’ existence by then anyway.

Luo Mu reminded: "No problem, but you have to be careful, that Pokémon has a bit of a hot temper."

Shali nodded. She also knew that fire-type Pokémon usually had hot tempers, so all she had to do was not to provoke them.

Thinking of this, Shali made her steps lighter and slowly walked to the living room, then she stood there in a daze.

What did she see?
The empty fireplace was not burning, but the flames on the Pokémon resting on the carpet were bright and surging, and the flame crown that looked like a work of art revealed the identity of this Pokémon.

The legendary divine bird, the divine bird that brings spring to the Snow Country, the origin of the sacred fire of the Kanto region - Moltres.

The orange flames burning on the wings moved in rhythm with the Moltres' breathing, but Shali held her breath, not daring to even breathe.

At this moment, her thoughts were in a mess. Even though she was from the Sinnoh region, she had heard of the legend of the Moltres, which was revered in the Kanto region. However, the living legend lived safely on the farm of Luo Mu, who claimed to be an ordinary farmer.

Sha Li felt as if her worldview was about to collapse.

After looking at Luo Mu in horror, Sha Li swallowed and carefully left the living room after receiving the other party's eye signal.

Coming to the second floor, Sha Li covered her chest and felt her heartbeat had not yet calmed down. Before she could express her doubts, Luo Mu explained: "Catti was hatched by Moltres. Now it is temporarily living in the farm. Don't be too stressed."

"Is that the case?" Shali widened her eyes. Could it be that this Moltres was unexpectedly kind-hearted, so it helped hatch Growlithe?

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was so scared. I didn't expect that the legendary bird would be on your farm. If the news spreads to the Kanto region, it will probably cause a sensation!"

The legendary Pokémon appears on a farm, even novels wouldn’t write it like this!

Luo Mu knew that Sha Li's understanding of Moltres was slightly off, but he had no intention of correcting her. He smiled and said, "Then let's continue our tour."

Sha Li nodded: "Okay."

Next, Luo Mu took Shali to visit the entire small house, got to know the Pokémon that stayed in the room, and then took a large group of Pokémon to the farming area, lake area, and pasture area, and finally gathered all the Pokémon on the farm together.

Along the way, Shali witnessed the Thundering Lake where Haxorus and Swampert lived, the vast pasture area with Mud Horses and Sprouting Deer, and the farming area with various crops, and the miraculous composite green grassland that was used by Flower Therapy Ring and White Fluffy.

Finally, Shali stopped and fell into deep thought.

Now she has three options in mind.

There are pastures with vast green grass, Thunder Lake with excellent water quality where you can take photos with Pokémon in the water, and golden wheat fields full of unharvested wheat.

She had heard that Luo Mu had prepared a flower field and wanted to shoot there, but unfortunately the flower field had not yet bloomed, so Sha Li had to give up the idea.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Shali made a decision: "Let's go to the wheat field. The abundant wheat field and the Pokémon who built this farm, I think this is the most suitable solution!"

Along the way, Shali also heard from Luo Mu about the contributions of Pokémon to the farm, and her intuition told her that it was the most suitable choice.

Luo Mu followed the decision of the professionals and immediately brought all the Pokémon to the wheat field.

The sun shines down, and the wheat fields sparkle like a golden ocean. The ripe wheat ears sway gently in the breeze, showing a golden luster.

Luo Mu and many Pokémon stood in front of the wheat field, with Roentgen and Monarch occupying the left and right sides respectively, Mimikyu and Little Fairy standing on Luo Mu's shoulders. In Luo Mu's arms, he held the Messenger Bird that was about to set off.

The small and exquisite white fluffy ones, Aoliniu, Mahua Dog, Mosquito-repellent tadpoles and Caterpie stood in the front.

Hackrons and Dragonite were flying overhead, while Blademaster and Swampert were guarding everyone on the left and right edges like knights.

The two Bud Deer and the Heavy Mud Horse were very conspicuous even if they were standing at the back due to their size, and the Moltres was also very considerate by flying above the wheat field.

There is a wreath carefully woven by Flower Therapy Huanhuan on the head of each Pokémon, and the wreath on Luo Mu's head is made by Flower Therapy Huanhuan herself.

Every Pokémon had a smile on their face; they were enjoying and looking forward to their first family photo.

Seeing such a heartwarming scene, a smile unconsciously climbed onto Shali's delicate face. She felt that perhaps she could take a photo today that would give her a new lease of life.

"Say it with me, Eggplant~"

"Eggplant~"

As the shutter sounds, time freezes and memories are transformed into photos and stored in the camera.
