Feng Yi went to Wu Ji's house before going home.
There were no rats in Wu Ji's house at this time, but it was hard to say what would happen in the middle of the night. After all, the holes in the house were not blocked, and the number of people required to come to exterminate rats at home was still in the queue.
After Wu Ji learned that Feng Yi had the skill to catch mice, he forced Feng Yi to spend the night at his house.
"We must destroy them to prevent future troubles!"
Wu Ji was quite active in exterminating rats. "The guest room has been cleaned up. It's convenient for us to live in the same building. If you don't like the pillows here, you can take down your pillows. Brother, my sleep depends on you!"
Feng Yi also thought that this was just a matter of helping out, so he agreed and stayed overnight in the guest room on the 5th floor that Wu Ji had cleaned up.
The house on the 5th floor belongs to Wu Ji's parents. Wu Ji's own house is on the 29th floor. However, the rat infestation on the lower floors is more serious, so the elderly temporarily moved to the 29th floor.
Since Wu Ji moved into the 5th floor, he has not had a good night's sleep. He hates the rats, but he can't do anything about them. He can't catch them. If Feng Yi can catch a rat tonight, it will be his revenge.
However, that night, the rats seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the 1st to the 10th floor. Even those who had already had rats in their homes were particularly well-behaved that night. The middle and high floors were not as quiet, but it was much better than before.
Although the revenge was not taken, Wu Ji had a rare good sleep that night.
"Could it be that the community's rat eradication efforts have paid off?"
The owners’ group was also discussing this matter. The situation in the entire community seemed to be much better than in the previous few days. Although other buildings were not as peaceful as Feng Yi’s, the changes were obvious compared to before.
The community’s rat extermination workers do kill a lot of rats every day, so no one thought about it in other ways. They all speculated that the rats fled the area because they saw the intensified rat extermination efforts here.
"The dark life is finally over!" Wu Ji was extremely excited.
"I didn't see you take action this time, but I'll look for you next time when rats come in. It's a pity that you don't use this skill. Do you really not want to open a rat extermination company? If you have this idea, I will definitely invest!" Wu Ji looked at Feng Yi.
"No." After thinking for a while, Feng Yi asked, "What do you think of snakes?"
Wu Ji's expression changed instantly.
"No, I can still fight against the mouse, but if it's a snake, I might die!"
"You are also born in the year of the snake. Why are you so scared?" Feng Yi asked.
"Who said that people born in the Year of the Snake can't be afraid of snakes? I'm most afraid of snakes! When I was a kid, I stepped on a snake. It was about the same color as the surrounding grass. I didn't pay attention and I knew something was wrong. If I had jumped away a little slower, I would have been bitten. Since then, I have had a psychological trauma!"
It’s been so many years, but Wu Ji still feels a little scared when he thinks back on it. “Now that I think about it, I’d rather face the rat.”
Feng Yi didn't mention it again.
When I got home, I looked in the mirror carefully to see if there were any changes on my face.
After one night, Feng Yi felt that his perception range had expanded a lot. If the space he could perceive was a sphere with him as the center, the radius would be about 5 stories high.
If he wanted, he could even sense how many people were upstairs and downstairs, and what they were doing. It wasn't very clear, he could only sense roughly.
I don't try to sense the residents around me, because that would infringe on their privacy. I'll try it next time I go to the park.
Over the next two days, the rat problem in the neighborhood improved significantly, the noise of residents cursing at night decreased, and the barking of dogs seemed to have disappeared.
After dinner, residents of the community smiled more often when taking a walk, and the chat atmosphere in the owners’ group became peaceful.
But compared to the gradually improving moods of others, Feng Yi felt depressed.
Something is wrong with him these past two days!
Something is wrong!
I fried a pancake for breakfast, and when I was eating it, I stuffed the whole thing into my mouth. I choked and spit it out before I came to my senses.
When eating eggs, I put them directly into my mouth without even peeling the shell. Although I realized it later, I was still scared and broke out in a cold sweat.
If it happens once or twice, it can be explained as carelessness or an accident, but if it happens again and again, it can no longer be regarded as simple distraction!
besides!
I also felt the sauce was particularly pungent during lunch today, and I sneezed a few times.
At first Feng Yi suspected that the sauce was expired, but when he looked at the date on the packaging, it was new.
I thought I bought a defective product, but even after changing to other sauces, it still tasted extremely pungent!
Everything I ate tasted weird after that.
I have a headache and always feel like I'm having a fever, but my body temperature is normal.
No matter which thermometer I use, it shows that my temperature is normal.
Feng Yi couldn't remain calm anymore.
It's not convenient to go to the hospital. The old housekeeper's words are still echoing in my ears. If some inhuman symptoms are really found, I guess he will have to be sent directly to the research institute.
So, is he ill now? Or has he undergone some strange changes as the old housekeeper said
Feng Yi himself doesn’t know.
Ask the doctor or the housekeeper
I wondered if it was because I had too many things on my mind and was under too much mental pressure, and it had nothing to do with what the old housekeeper said
Even the perception that worked well yesterday is now blurry.
After thinking about it, Feng Yi came up with a solution.
I searched online and found a platform with relatively more positive reviews, which provides 24-hour real-time online consultation.
Feng Yi briefly described his symptoms.
Soon, a doctor online responded:
Hello! According to your description, you appear to be slow to react to the outside world and overly sensitive, and you may have some cognitive impairment...
Blah blah blah a lot of talk.
Feng Yi continued to ask with trembling hands: "So, how can we improve it?"
Online doctor reply:
I suggest you come to our hospital's psychiatric department for a detailed examination.
Feng Yi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this reply.
Switch the page, search for the words "cognitive impairment" that the online doctor just replied, and then you will see -
Schizophrenia patients have cognitive impairment… Slow or overly sensitive responses to external information may be a sign of psychotic symptoms and cognitive decline…
Feng Yi felt a chill in his heart when he saw this.
After much thought, I decided not to scare myself like this, so I called the old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper's voice sounded a little expectant: "Don't worry, this is normal. This is just an early reaction. Your genes are changing, and your body is adapting to this change. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You can take this time to go out and play and relax. When this adaptation period is over, you may not be in the mood to go out and play."
After hearing this reply, Feng Yi didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
Fortunately, I am not mentally ill.
What worries me is the old housekeeper's last sentence: "After the adaptation period is over, you may not be in the mood to go out and play." What are the so-called "small changes"
With such extremely complicated feelings, Feng Yi still participated in Wu Ji and his friends' weekend farm fishing activity.
Departure Saturday morning.
This time they were going to the Yueshan Ecological Tourism Scenic Area, which was about two hours' drive from Yongcheng.
Wu Ji drove his parents, while Feng Yi drove the car while Qian Feiyang drove.
He has "cognitive impairment", so it's safer not to drive.
Perhaps because more people were traveling on the weekends, the road out of the city was jammed several times. When he stopped at a red light again, Qian Feiyang opened the phone next to him and took a look at the surveillance footage.
"Did you throw the star anise at home?" Feng Yi asked.
"It's only two days, and it will go back tomorrow. There's no need to send it to a pet store. We have an automatic feeder and an automatic poop scooper at home, and the surveillance is also on. I can check its movements at home on my mobile phone at any time." Qian Feiyang said.
Feng Yi took a look and saw Bajiao sleeping on his back on the sofa in the living room.
Qian Feiyang continued driving. "Wu Ji said that we can catch a lot of fish at the farm we are going to this time, but I don't know if it's true. Don't fish for a whole day like last time and end up fishing for nothing. I will only try for two hours. If I can't catch any fish, I will give it a try and take some pictures."
Feng Yi asked him: "What do you think of snakes?"
Qian Feiyang didn't show any rejection on his face: "You know, as a higher organism, humans have preferences. Some people like warm-blooded animals, and some people like cold-blooded animals..."
"so?"
“I choose to pet the cat.”
Feng Yi stopped asking.
More than two hours later, they arrived at their destination.
There are many farmhouses near Yueshan Scenic Area, and the business here is much better than that of the five-star hotels in the center of the scenic area. Wu Ji booked a room a week in advance.
After arriving at the place and cleaning up, Wu Ji's parents, who are old and need to take a rest, the three of them were full of energy.
"Let's go fishing!"
Wu Ji took out the fishing guide he got from Mr. Liu from the community fishing group on his mobile phone.
The necessary tools and materials should be rented or purchased, and then Wu Ji took Feng Yi and Qian Feiyang to find a place according to the guide.
Uncle Liu drew a few spots for him. They came a little late today, and the nearby spots were already occupied. But it was okay, Uncle Liu drew a lot of spots, and the fishing area was large, so it was not crowded even on weekends when there were the most people.
This side actually belongs to the ecological scenic area, and the other side of the ecological scenic area is a nature reserve where tourists are not allowed to enter at will.
We chose this farm because it has the best scenery and is closest to the fishing area.
After living in the city for a long time, I want to get closer to nature. It is also comfortable to choose such a place to spend the weekend. If you are lucky, you can also meet some cute little animals such as squirrels and foxes.
Some internet celebrities or video bloggers occasionally come here to try their luck.
The weather is nice today, cloudy and windy, and the temperature is suitable. There are children running around in the farm, but there are fewer children in the fishing area, and young people in their 20s like Feng Yi are actually not common.
Feng Yi bought a fisherman's hat when he rented fishing gear just now, and he also wore a mask on his face. He was not conspicuous here. Fishermen have their own ways to protect themselves from the sun, and many of them cover themselves tightly.
Finally found a place, Wu Ji was ready to go.
"Let's compete to see who can catch the fish first!"
Qian Feiyang was not interested and responded lazily.
Wu Ji was in high spirits: "Guess how many fish I can catch today?"
