When Feng Yi woke up in the morning, he thought he was still dreaming.
After a long while, his expression became blank again.
This doesn't seem like a dream...
He stretched his forearm to his mouth, popped out his sharp teeth and bit down with a little force.
“Ouch!”
Feng Yi sat up immediately.
Not dreaming!
Why is it wet all around
If I hadn’t smelled any peculiar smell, I would have suspected that I had wet the bed!
That’s not true. Bed-wetting doesn’t necessarily wet the entire bed.
He stretched out his palm and pressed it on the pillow. Looking at the water stains on his palm, Feng Yi became even more confused.
Did someone spill the water while he was asleep
Everywhere in the room there were water stains, and the surface of the wardrobe was covered with water droplets.
Feng Yi stood up and planned to take a closer look. He stepped on the floor and the cloth slippers seemed to have been soaked in water, and a small puddle of water squeezed out.
The floor was even more horrible.
Feng Yi walked out of the bedroom like a wandering soul and looked at the situation in the living room.
!!!
Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
Furniture, ceiling, all items, damp as if they had been soaked in water and emit various...
The smell of heartache...
Holding on to the door frame, Feng Yi felt his liver trembling.
This was the first house he bought with his own ability after working hard and starting a business when he was in college. He oversaw the decoration of the house himself throughout the entire process, selected each piece of furniture by hand, and placed each piece in the most suitable position. Every detail is the result of his hard work!
Now, it's all ruined...
It took Feng Yi a while to come back to his senses and check the dehumidifier.
The room is so humid, but the dehumidifier is still quiet, which is obviously malfunctioning.
Feng Yi looked through the dehumidifier's work records in the mobile phone app again. At about 1 a.m., the indoor humidity data suddenly rose, and the strongest dehumidification mode was automatically turned on, but it failed after two hours.
"One o'clock?"
Were you still dreaming at that time
Feng Yi's eyelids jumped when he thought of something and he rushed to the bathroom.
There was a layer of mist on the mirror in the bathroom, and the paper towels were all clumped together.
Feng Yi wiped the mist off the mirror surface with his hand and looked in the mirror.
There was no strange change on his face, nor could anything be seen on his body, but Feng Yi found it hard to convince himself that everything that was happening in the house had nothing to do with evolution.
So, after the one-month period that Uncle Ya mentioned, is it true that there is no warning for evolution? !
Feng Yi opened his phone and looked at the chat in the community owners’ group.
Sure enough, the owners' group had already started arguing -
The humidity is too high! The floor is all wet!
This is what the rainy season is like. However, the rainy season in Yongcheng hasn't arrived yet, right
Damn rainy season! My house is a high-rise building, and it has never been as humid as it is now during rainy season! I hung up the clothes after washing them last night, and this morning they are even wetter than yesterday!
All the windows at home are closed and only the indoor air purification system is on, but it can't block the moisture outside
Is it because of the building materials? Is it because of the quality of the house? My house is also very humid, but not as exaggerated as you say.
When it comes to building problems, the property management company can no longer play dead. They came out to clarify that it is definitely not a problem with the house, saying, "It may be that the 'stratus clouds' appeared last night, making the homes of owners on a certain floor particularly humid."
The so-called "stratus clouds", also known as "high fog", give people a feeling similar to fog, but they are not grounded. They often cover mountains and high-rise buildings and may only last for a few hours and disappear after the sun rises.
Many people believe this explanation. Of course, some people also question whether the conditions for the formation of stratus clouds can really be met in this community
But apart from the explanation of "stratus clouds", no one can think of any other reason.
Moreover, this is indeed the case in the community. Although everyone felt that the humidity was very high last night, only the residents on the high floors of one building and two nearby buildings felt it particularly obvious.
To be more precise, the residents of the three buildings above the 25th floor felt particularly damp, especially those on the 30th floor or so. The owners of the same floors in other buildings did not feel as exaggeratedly damp as they did.
Feng Yi flipped through the chat records with trepidation, feeling a surge of guilt.
Intuitively, this matter was related to him, but he couldn't explain it, let alone come forward to make any compensation. In order to avoid causing more trouble to the residents, Feng Yi thought it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
After sending a message to Wu Ji and knowing that he was at home, Feng Yi went straight up the stairs to the 29th floor.
The door was open, and Wu Ji was lying in the living room, holding a hair dryer and blowing it carefully on the sofa.
Feng Yi took a look at the condition of Wu Ji's house. It was indeed obviously damp, but it could still be salvaged.
While trying to save his beloved fabric sofa, Wu Ji said, "I'm really worried now. It's okay for one day, but if the humidity is this high every night, then all my tables, chairs and cabinets will probably be ruined. How's your house? It should be similar to mine, right?"
"It's all ruined. I guess the ceiling needs to be redone." Feng Yi said.
Wu Ji gave him a sympathetic look.
"Why did that 'Stratus Cloud' appear here? And it sneaked over here in the middle of the night! No one was prepared!"
Feng Yi: "... Yes, he showed up secretly in the middle of the night!"
After leaving Wu Ji's house, Feng Yi went upstairs and downstairs to inquire. The situation of the residents was similar to that of Wu Ji's house. There was obvious moisture but it could still be salvaged. However, if it happened a few more times, it was estimated that the furniture and decorations in the house would have to be scrapped.
After returning home, Feng Yi called the housekeeper and told him about the situation here.
"Water mist does appear during the evolution process, um... earlier than I expected." The housekeeper said, "If you don't want others to find out, you can move out. However, Ms. Feng doesn't have any property in Yong City, so you have to figure it out on your own."
"I'll take care of the house issue myself." Feng Yi's purpose was just to confirm whether this situation was related to his evolution.
After hanging up the phone, Feng Yi opened the real estate app and searched for rental information to see which remote single-family villas were available for rent.
It is definitely not possible to buy a house right away. He thought he still had time to look around, but now he should just stay away. If he can’t buy a house, he can rent one first. If he can’t find a suitable one, then…
Sleeping in the park
Feng Yi looked through it for a while, and then a phone call came in. It was from Lu Yue.
"The house near Yueshan that I told you about yesterday, do you have time to go and see it today? The owner is my cousin, and he's going there to pick up something this afternoon. If you want to go and see the house, I'll let him know. I have to make it clear that I haven't seen the house in person, I've only seen photos of it, but I've heard from others that the house is nice and the surrounding environment is particularly good, but it's a little off the beaten track."
"That's not a problem. I'm free to look at houses today!" Feng Yi said.
It’s better to be a little off-center, so that no one will notice his unusual movements!
If moisture appears again, there is no need to harm your neighbors.
After a while, Lu Yue said again: "He is over there now. I will give you a detailed address. You can go there and talk to him directly. I have something to do at the company and cannot leave."
"OK."
After receiving the detailed address information, Feng Yi searched on the map and found that it was indeed far from the city and very close to the Yueshan Nature Reserve. However, for him now, the farther away from the city, the better.
After a quick packing, Feng Yi drove to the place Lu Yue mentioned.
When I arrived there, I saw that the neighborhood was indeed remote and there didn't seem to be many residents. I didn't see many people.
The house Lu Yue mentioned was close to the river and the most remote one in the community. I don't know if it was because the owner hadn't lived here for a long time and it lacked maintenance, but the house looked a bit desolate.
When Feng Yi arrived, the owner of the house was putting a storage box and two books into the car. The owner looked about the same age as Lu Yue, but compared to Lu Yue's sharp businessman, this one had a somewhat... melancholy temperament of an artist.
Seeing Feng Yi, the man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Are you the one who wants to buy a house that Lu Yue mentioned? The one with the last name Feng?"
"Yes, it's me." Feng Yi took two steps forward, picked up the book that fell on the ground and handed it over.
"Thank you." The other party took the book and put it away. "My name is Xue Lin, Xue as in Schrödinger, and Lin as in retreat to the mountains. Lu Yue is my cousin, and he said you want to buy a single-family house in a remote area."
Feng Yi was stunned by his "Schrödinger's Xue" and replied: "My name is Feng Yi, Feng as in tornado, Yi as in Hou Yi shooting the sun. Brother Xue, just call me by my name.
“I really want to buy this type of house… one that is close to the mountains and water.”
It's hard to say that he wants to stay away from others so that he can cause trouble
When he saw the chat records in the community owners' chat group in the morning, he wanted to find a small mountain village far away from human habitation and live an isolated life.
However, his mentality has not reached the point of "retreating to the mountains" after all, so Feng Yi has temporarily given up his seclusion. Perhaps in the future he will live in isolation from the world for a period of time due to evolution, but not now, as he will become depressed.
Hearing Feng Yi say "close to mountains and waters", Xue Lin chuckled and looked at the overgrown house with reminiscence, "There are many houses close to mountains and waters, but there are also many troubles. Let me tell you first.
"This community is very strictly controlled because it is close to Yueshan Mountain and the protected area. You must apply for any changes first and then get approval. Renovation, reconstruction, even if it is your own garden, if you want to make major changes, you must apply first. There is a code that you can scan and apply online. As long as the changes are not major, they will be approved quickly.
"Before, some people thought that the procedures for remodeling their homes here were too complicated, and they moved away because of this and that. But recently, because of Xiao Qinglong's incident, some owners have returned to live here. Some, like me, are raising the price while the popularity is still there."
Xue Lin said, sighing heavily, "To be honest, I am selling this house because I want to sell it when the price goes up, but the most important thing is that I don't want to live here. It's a waste to leave it alone. It's been almost two years. In the summer, the weeds in the yard are taller than me."
At this point, Xue Lin seemed to be lost in memories, and his melancholy became even stronger: "For me, this is a sad place..."
Feng Yi saw that he was immersed in memories as soon as he spoke, and opened his mouth several times to remind him:
There are three big black mosquitoes biting you on your face and arms!
There are a group of mosquitoes around, lurking around!
