When he is free at home, Hao Ren has the habit of going out for a walk. After breakfast, he takes the cat with him and walks the streets for an hour. Occasionally, he meets acquaintances and chats. It is said that his mentality is like that of a retired veteran cadre, but Hao Ren feels that this kind of life is better than anything else.
However, this daily pastime has not become so easy since "Roll" became a human being. In the past, when you took her out, you could just walk in front, and you don’t have to worry about the silly cat running around. Anyway, she will definitely come when she has had enough fun, but now it can’t be like this: just walk from the door of the house to Baishi Road Street in just a few short minutes. Within 100 meters, Hao Ren has pulled the cat girl from the ground three times in a row, and pulled her head out of the trash can once in the middle...
Hao Ren, who was walking the cat, was physically and mentally exhausted. He pressed the wide-brimmed soft hat (used to cover the ears) on the cat girl's head: "When will you fully learn the human way of life..."
"I learned it, so give me dried fish? I didn't eat it at home just now!"
Yzaks was walking ahead with his daughter on his shoulders, and when he heard the movement behind him, he turned his head and smiled: "Didn't you tell me to let 'scroll' go for a walk in Arim in the future? Why are you still leading her here to relax?"
"She has to be willing to stay at home." Hao Ren sighed helplessly. "She will follow no matter who goes out. If she refuses to agree, she will scratch the door, or bite the curtains, and beat and scold. Instead of letting Lily led her out to make trouble, so let me walk her myself."
The cat girl tilted her head and listened to Hao Ren's words. In fact, she has made some progress these days. At least she already vaguely knew that her usual words and deeds would bring trouble to her master. The judgment a cat should have: Squat down at Hao Ren's feet and began to rub the latter's trouser legs vigorously: "Big cat, you will be happy like this, right? You are so troublesome~~"
Hao Ren: "..."
Strolling to the south section of Baishi Road, more people go out for a walk in the morning. There are only a few remaining residents in the southern suburbs, and Baishi Road and Houjie Commercial Street are the only lively places in this place. The residents of the small place are very familiar with each other. From time to time, someone would say hello to Hao Ren when they passed by: "Hao Ren, I heard that you were on a business trip again two days ago?"
There are also those who are more courageous or have a strong taste and say hello to Yizaks: "Daquan, is it released again?"
Basically, the second type of people are mostly local old ladies.
But this is also a joke. Although Y'zaks had caused a lot of trouble in the southern suburbs when he first came, but now it's been a year. At least he got acquainted with the locals in the Baishi Road area. All the old men and women on this street knew that there lived a big man with a fierce face but a good temper in fact, and after a few cautious contacts, they became less wary of him. The Yizaks are also real. They like to help the neighbors. They help the owner to carry a liquefied petroleum gas, and help the west to move half a car of bricks. When someone is repairing the house, he will go to help carry thirty or fifty bags of cement or something. He finally integrated into the circle of residents in the southern suburbs—considering the bonus of his face. It's quite an epic achievement.
Of course, occasional misunderstandings are still unavoidable. People who are not familiar with Yizaks will still call the police when they see such a big man walking towards them, especially when he takes Elizabeth out. increase by at least 50%. So after this kind of oolong trouble a few times, all the old ladies on Baishi Road knew that the first thing they said after seeing Yzaks was always "It's released again?"...
Elizabeth sat on Y'zaks' shoulder and smirked heartlessly: "My dad is so majestic wherever he goes!"
Y'zaks turned his head and spread his hands at Hao Ren, dumbfounded, "It really depends on your face wherever you go."
At this time, the four of them happened to be strolling in front of the small supermarket at the intersection. When Hao Ren looked up, he saw the fat boss sweeping the water with a big broom on the nearby road. The accumulated water flooded the drainage holes on the curb. Hao Ren greeted him from a distance: "Boss—did you wash the car this morning?"
"Why are you washing your car? The water pipe is bursting again!" The fat boss was sweating and waved his hands angrily. "Damn it exploded three times in two days. I don't know what the pump room is doing. The water pressure is abnormal these two days. Either the water is cut off, or the water pressure is so high that it can damage the valve."
A diner who was eating at the breakfast stall next to him raised his head when he heard the words: "You are not bad. At least there is water now. My house has been without water for two days. Several houses around have water, but mine does not. Or else Can I come out to eat?"
"The water pipe in your house is blocked, right?" Hao Ren continued, "It all came down from the main pipe. How can you not have water in other houses?"
"I don't know what's going on. It's not winter, and the pipes won't be frozen. Anyway, the water has been abnormal for the past two days. I can hear the water rushing in the pipes when I turn on the faucet, but I just don't go out...see me tomorrow Brother, let’s take a look. He’s in the water.”
At this time, a middle-aged man who was eating tofu at the next table suddenly raised his head and said in a muffled voice, "There is nothing wrong with the pump room. My son works in the pump room."
The fat boss put down the broom to catch his breath: "Then what's the matter with the abnormal tap water these two days?"
"I don't know what's going on in the pump room. My boy has been working overtime for the past two days. He said that there is no problem with the machine there, but the water pressure fluctuates. Once it seems to be backflow or something. A booster pump It's all burnt," the middle-aged man shook his head, sucking up the last sip of the soup, "My boy is talking about it, he said that the pump room is a little weird these days..."
The owner of the earlier stall followed suit and yelled: "Old Zhang, don't talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes!"
The other diners and the fat owner of the supermarket also chatted and laughed, complaining about the abnormal tap water in the past two days and "Lao Zhang"'s nagging habit, and then they dispersed. However, Hao Ren stepped forward and stopped the middle-aged man who was about to pay the bill and leave: "Brother, you just said that the pump room is a bit of a trick these two days? What kind of trick is it?"
"You're joking, don't take it seriously," the middle-aged man smiled and waved his hands, "My boy told me about the pump room, but I didn't understand."
Hao Ren snorted, and turned around thoughtfully to leave, but when he turned his head, he found that the silly cat had disappeared again. He quickly looked around, only to see that the guy was squatting at the foot of the food stall owner, looking eagerly at the cat. Look at people—how worthless and worthless they look.
The owner of the food stall held a spoon in his hand, looking at nothing. He turned to see Hao Ren, "Is this your girlfriend? What... is she used to?"
Hao Ren was choked and coughed again and again, and quickly explained: "Ahem, no, this is my sister... Hurry up!"
"I want to eat buns," Sha Mao squatted and turned his head, "I'm hungry, give me buns!"
Immediately, the eyes of the people around were different. Hao Ren was covered in cold sweat, so he could only quickly buy two steamed buns for Shamao. It's not been an hour since breakfast!
After walking to a secluded place, Y'zaks said, "Do you think there is a problem with this?"
"About the tap water?" Hao Ren folded his arms and nodded slightly. "I think my intuition is generally more accurate. There is indeed something strange about this matter. If what they say is true, it is a supernatural phenomenon. related to the activity."
Y'zaks: "Maybe it's just rumors, it's all trivial, don't worry about it."
"It's really not a big deal, but if you're idle, you're idle. What's more, the inspector's job requires observation and keen intuition." Hao Ren shrugged, "ask her when May comes back, she's in charge. , just do something good for the neighbors.”
The cat girl held the steamed stuffed bun and gnawed at it, looking at Hao Ren and Yzaks, and suddenly put half of the steamed stuffed bun on Hao Ren's mouth: "So I'll give you a steamed stuffed bun."
Hao Ren couldn't understand the cat's logic at all. How she transformed the information in her mind after observing the world was an unsolved mystery—how could she come up with a "so" out of nowhere
Hao Ren went home and waited until noon, Nangong Wuyue came back from outside, and he told what he heard while walking outside today, but Wuyue frowned: "The water in other places is not normal? It seems that there is indeed a problem." (To be continued~^~)
