The transfer of the house went smoothly, and Lu Yue did not set any traps in the contract terms. It was probably because he still had to ask Feng Yi to identify the leather of the goods, so he did not play any tricks.
Xue Lin left after completing the formalities, and this time he didn't seem reluctant to leave.
This house in Yuexiu Community has truly changed its owner.
Now that the owner has changed, Feng Yi plans to move officially.
He did not make any major changes to the house. He only slightly adjusted the interior decoration according to his own habits and preferences, and replaced electrical appliances and furniture that needed to be replaced, with most of the furniture being waterproof.
On the day of the official move, Feng Yi invited Wu Ji and Qian Feiyang to go to the new house to walk around and get familiar with the place. They were all old friends, so they wouldn't hide the move from others. This time, they would also be clear about it.
Wu Ji still hadn't given up on the country villa and planned to go over and take a closer look this time.
As for Qian Feiyang, he was not interested in the house, he was curious about Feng Yi's special ability. After hearing Wu Ji talk about Feng Yi's olfactory talent, he had been curious.
"Is it the kind of money-making method you see on TV, where you work with the police, detectives, or other powerful people, and when they encounter a big case, they call you over to help? "
Feng Yi: “…Not really.”
If Qian Feiyang knew that he initially relied on his super sensitive sense of smell to catch mice, would he feel low
Feng Yi explained that he earned the money by identifying snake skins for others and it was a business cooperation.
When Qian Feiyang heard that it was just about identifying snake skin, he lost interest. Then when Feng Yi said that the house he bought was close to the nature reserve and the environment was particularly good, he planned to take some photos.
When they arrived at the destination, the two truly understood what Feng Yi meant by "a bit off".
Wu Ji looked at the big house in front of him in a tangled manner. "Although it's remote and there are insects and snakes, the house is really nice, with a large building area and front and back yards. I like it!"
Feng Yi has asked someone to tidy up the front yard so it doesn't look messy. The flowers in the flowerbed were also planted by Xue Lin before, and he didn't spend time planting new flowers.
The front yard was used to welcome guests, while the backyard was Feng Yi's own territory. After all, he slept there every night. Of course, he could do whatever he wanted at home.
Wu Ji glanced at the backyard and said to Feng Yi, "Don't just fix the front yard, fix the backyard as well. Plant some plants that repel insects and snakes. That way it will be safer."
Feng Yi: “… Yeah.”
In fact, there were originally quite a lot of them, but I pulled them all out.
But these cannot be said explicitly.
Qian Feiyang was not interested in the house. He and Wu Ji helped Feng Yi place the home appliances. During the break, he opened his work bag and planned to go to the river to take pictures.
"The river? I'll go too!" Wu Ji walked out, saying, "Feng Yi, you don't seem to see any mosquitoes here, or do mosquitoes not come out even in broad daylight?"
When Feng Yi heard Wu Ji say "mosquitoes", he remembered some things Xue Lin mentioned when he was telling him about the things to pay attention to when living here.
"Wait a minute."
Feng Yi took out the medicine box, which contained some insect repellent and ointment, all of which Xue Lin suggested he prepare.
"If you are going to the river, spray some of this insect repellent. There will be mosquitoes there during the day. Oh, this can also prevent tick bites." Feng Yi said.
Wu Ji and Qian Feiyang, who were about to go out, paused.
"Tick... tick?" Wu Ji stuttered, "Is it the kind they say in the news, the kind that burrows its head into the skin and sucks blood?"
Qian Feiyang, who was flipping through the camera, also had a stiff expression. He looked at Feng Yi, waiting for Feng Yi's answer.
The reason they are so sensitive to this insect is because of a news report from Yueshan last week that someone did not take proper anti-mosquito measures and went running wildly in the wild wearing only short-sleeved shirts and shorts. He was then admitted to the hospital with fever, coughing up blood and thrombocytopenia syndrome, and it was finally diagnosed that it was caused by a tick bite.
Not everyone will encounter such a situation, but it is indeed a carrier of many pathogens, so it is better to be on guard.
Wu Ji and Qian Feiyang couldn't guarantee that they would always be lucky. Moreover, the news came out only a few days ago, and they still remembered clearly what the insect looked like after sucking their blood. When they thought of that scene, they shuddered unconsciously.
Feng Yi continued, "Don't be afraid, just spray this insect repellent. The long sleeves and long pants you're wearing today should be fine. Even if you get bitten, there's a clinic nearby that specializes in treating tick bites and won't let the tick's head break off in your skin."
However, tick bites are more common in pets than in humans. Of course, these need not be mentioned, as they would scare the two of them.
Speaking of ticks, what impressed Feng Yi the most was the Hasserian organ that they use to locate "prey". He saw it when he was searching for knowledge related to chemoreceptors and the vomeronasal organ.
Feng Yi took out the potion and looked up to see that the two men looked unnatural.
Wu Ji took back his foot and said, "Well, I think it's better to visit your new house. It's not suitable to go out in such a strong sun."
Qian Feiyang played with the camera in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and put it away. When I came here just now, I took a quick look at the scenery by the river. In fact, it was not that attractive. If you want to take natural photos, you should go to Yueshan Tourist Scenic Area, where they also regularly expel insects.
"Don't the property management here spray insect repellent over there?" Wu Ji was puzzled.
"We still spray the residential complex and surrounding areas, but less so the riverside. Now there is strict control over insect repellents along the riverbank, and the property management doesn't dare to spray indiscriminately," Feng Yi explained.
Wu Ji… Wu Ji felt that the dream halo of his “country villa” had faded a lot.
Not only should you protect yourself from snakes, but you should also protect yourself from ticks.
horrible.
But I am still very interested in this kind of big house.
While helping Feng Yi move things, Wu Ji looked at the structure of the house.
"basement?"
When walking towards the basement, Wu Ji was excited when he heard Feng Yi say that there was a relatively large basement below. Basements are always mysterious in movies and TV series. What does the basement of a villa in such a remote area look like
When Wu Ji stepped into the basement, before he had time to study it, the first thing he saw was a stack of books on the shelf.
"What is this?" Wu Ji took a copy and flipped through it, his face becoming even more puzzled. "Self-help manual?"
Looking at the other books on the shelf, most of them are about self-rescue, basic knowledge of flood prevention and drought relief, XX ways to deal with emergencies, etc.
“Why do I need to see this when I live here?”
It’s not that Wu Ji couldn’t understand. He realized the problem as soon as he saw the titles of the books. He was just shocked too much.
This place is too close to the river. Although the community is located on a higher ground, no one can guarantee that it is absolutely safe. When the water level rises, we have to prevent water from entering the basement. Just like what was said in the brochure just now, sandbags, water pumps and other things must be prepared.
"Are all the basements here waterproof?" Wu Ji murmured.
"The walls are definitely waterproof, but it would still be dangerous if there was a flood," said Qian Feiyang.
Wu Ji looked at Feng Yi worriedly: "Brother, are you really going to move to... a place like this?"
"I like this place very much. I've stayed here for a few nights and slept really well." Feng Yi said.
Seeing that Feng Yi was not joking, Wu Ji stopped trying to persuade him.
"Fine."
He had completely given up on his dream of having a country house, even if it wasn't by the river. Beautiful stories can only be found on television.
On TV, people live close to nature and are often visited by cute little animals, but in reality you have to consider snakes, insects, rats and ants, and consider how to deal with difficulties.
Now Wu Ji believed that those who could live safely in such a place were not ordinary people.
The three of them had a barbecue buffet in the house to celebrate Feng Yi’s new home.
After Wu Ji and Qian Feiyang left, Feng Yi simply packed up.
It was already dark, but Feng Yi did not turn on the light. He wanted to explore the function of his eyes and get used to seeing at night.
Therefore, no lights were turned on at night during these days.
The moon is nice and bright tonight, but it makes no difference to Feng Yi.
Under the hazy moonlight, I spread a mat, covered myself with a thin blanket, put on an eye mask and headphones, listened to rock music, crossed my legs and shook them to the rhythm.
The scent of plants made him feel comfortable. After cleaning the grass and transplanting a few plants, the smell became even more comfortable. This was just like when ordinary people lighted calming incense, their nerves were greatly soothed.
Feng Yi was thinking about what other plants he could transplant in the backyard, and was getting sleepy. But after a while, Feng Yi sat up, took off his eye mask, and walked to the backyard wall.
After a while, a figure appeared on the courtyard wall.
It was a child about ten years old who climbed over the wall using the tree outside.
The child had just climbed over the wall and was about to find a place to land when he realized something was wrong.
Although the moonlight was good tonight, it was still dim for ordinary people. He climbed up the wall and saw a figure standing in the yard, staring at him. Then he reached out to him...
"ah!!!"
While shouting, he turned back.
Feng Yi was worried that the child would fall, so he held out his hand to let him jump and he would catch him from below, but he didn't expect the child to be frightened and fall back. However, judging from the noise over there, he didn't fall.
Look at the way he climbs over the wall so swiftly, he must be an expert.
There was more than one child outside the yard, and it was obvious that they were in the same group. However, the one who climbed over the wall just now suddenly screamed, scaring the others.
The kid climbing over the wall was still saying, "There's a monster in the yard! It's reaching out to grab me! Run!!"
Feng Yi, who heard it clearly in the yard, said: "…"
You are the monster!
You little brats are all monsters!
Feng Yi ignored all that and lay back down to sleep, vaguely hearing the voices of other children running away.
"So we're not going on an adventure today..."
"What does he look like... do his eyes glow... does he have fangs..."
After that, no children came to disturb him anymore, and Feng Yi slept until the sun woke him up.
Everything about the backyard is good, except that it feels dry after being exposed to the sun for too long.
I got up, drank a bottle of water, and packed my sleeping mat.
While preparing breakfast, Feng Yi smelled the scent of those children from last night again.
Open the gate and walk to the front yard.
There were three children around ten years old standing outside the courtyard gate. The leading child was braver. He walked a few steps into the courtyard and stared at Feng Yi, looking carefully from head to toe, even to his shadow on the ground. Then he looked relieved and ran back with a smile.
"I told you, the people living in there are people, not monsters!"
