Nangong Wuyue frowned: "The water in other places is not normal? It seems that there is indeed a problem."
Hao Ren didn't understand what was going on: "Huh? What did you find?"
"It started two or three days ago. Some people around our house always said that the tap water was not normal. There was even a situation where there were three water pipes in one family, one of which had no water and the other two had water. The old Li's family on the street also said that their house was washing vegetables. I saw with my own eyes that half of the water flowing out of the water pipe was collected back at once, which scared the old lady very much," Nangong Wuyue said while sitting on the sofa while playing with Doudou. From what I hear outside, she is a well-behaved and lovable girl. After so many years of wandering life, she has a high affinity, and she is familiar with many people on this street, "But not every household has problems. In addition, there are occasional pumping station failures in the suburbs, so it hasn't been too mysterious yet."
Hao Ren didn't expect that there were so many abnormalities in this matter. After thinking about it, he felt wrong: "Our water is fine."
"Yeah, because I forcibly pumped the water," the siren girl waved her hand to create a small water ball in mid-air, and Doudou immediately jumped in and swam happily, "Our house has been without water for two days, and I have been forcibly pumping water for the past two days. water supply."
Hao Ren stroked his chin: "It seems to be a supernatural phenomenon, who will follow me to the water pump station?"
Lily also just came back from the outside, and at this time she was lying on the sofa watching an advertisement for dog biscuits: "It's boring... I'm already a person who saves the world, why should I be busy with such things... I want to watch TV .”
"I'll go with the landlord." Vivienne came out of the kitchen wiping her hands, and looked at Lily while taking off her apron. Be vigilant, even if it's not a demon hunter, it could be another kind, even a canine animal, with such a weak sense of territory... "
Vivienne's "territorial awareness" uttered four words before Lily suddenly realized, and immediately jumped from the sofa to the ground: "I'll follow! I didn't realize that it has something to do with the territory!"
Hao Ren's mouth was open. As soon as his brain twitched, he jumped out: "If you haven't urinated, you can't remember that it's your own place, right?"
As a matter of course, Lily slapped him on the spot. In a few minutes, there were tooth marks all over her arm—after many attempts, Goumeizi finally found an intermediate amount that could leave tooth marks without triggering the rigid shield.
Hao Ren fled from Lilygou's mouth in disgrace, and no one came up to help, even Vivian shook her head dumbfoundingly: "Landlord, can you just say this to any girl... even a female. "
Nangong Wuyue stepped forward and patted Hao Ren on the shoulder: "Landlord, listen to my advice, you can live up to two episodes of TV dramas with this mouth, change it."
Hao Ren: "..."
Lily bared her teeth and showed Hao Ren her power for a long time before grunting and licking the teeth marks she had bitten out. Kai looked around: "So who else went to the pumping station with me?"
Nangong Wuyue dragged her brother up smoothly: "Let me run with you with my brother. I am familiar with the water, and my brother at least has a lot of investigation experience."
The group left home for the only water pumping station in the southern suburbs. The water pumping station is still in the north of the city, but it is not too far from where everyone lives. It takes only ten minutes to drive there.
Please don't forget that Hao Ren also has a car now.
Speaking of the water pumping station, Hao Ren is also very familiar with it: Since the southern suburbs are far away from the urban area, various facilities are relatively backward, and the pressure in the water supply network has become a persistent problem. Ten years ago, the people here reported it several times, and the water company only set up a pumping station to pressurize the pipe network. Hao Ren still remembered that when he was in middle school, he liked to sneak to the pumping station to play, lying on the window of the big red brick and concrete machine room and watching the pumps rumbling inside. Then fight wits and courage with the dogs that guard the gate in the yard. It was really a period of green years when white clothes came and went like the wind. The young man who was destined to embark on an uneven road in the future raised his ambitions under the sharpening of the vicious dogs—his greatest wish back then was to beat the dogs in the yard once...
Now the watchdog in the old compound has died of old age and there is only one left. There is no need to look forward to his wish.
The water pumping station was surrounded by a brick wall, and the big iron gate was half-opened and half-closed. Occasionally, rumbling sounds from the machine room inside could be heard from the outside. Hao Ren parked the car in the open space outside the yard. As soon as he led the people to the door, he heard a barking of dogs from the yard. Several black backs tied with chains rushed out from the slant spurs, dragging their bodies to protest the intruders. That power is exactly the same as their predecessors. Seeing this situation, Hao Ren laughed and cursed: "It's really a dog, don't your fathers dare to call me that when they see me!"
When Lili heard this, she barked a few times at the leader's black back, and then turned her head to dismantle Hao Ren's platform: "They said, you were chased by their uncles and ran all over the yard. The old jujube tree that once ran into the yard Didn't come down for half a day."
Hao Ren: "...Damn it, I forgot that there is someone here who knows foreign languages!"
At this time, an imposing old black dog strolled over from the yard. After seeing Hao Ren, he gave a symbolic bark a few times, but he still seemed to remember the brat who was always lying on the courtyard wall and throwing stones at the courtyard ten years ago. Hao Ren sighed with emotion as time passed, and finally saw someone coming out of the pump room. It was a young man with a crew cut, who should be in charge of the machines in the pump room.
"Which one are you looking for?" The young man asked furiously, then turned his head and yelled at the dogs, "Go back, go back! Why are you yelling!"
"I'm from the street nearby. Why hasn't the water come in normally these two days?" Hao Ren stepped forward and asked with a smile.
People in the city may not be used to this kind of living habits in remote suburbs, but ordinary people in the southern suburbs are always used to asking their "units" directly for questions. If the water is cut off, look for the pumping station, if the heating is not hot, look for the boiler room, if the power is out, go directly to the substation to ask the master to ask about the situation. This is the unique "community ecology" of a backward suburb with no real estate and various "branch distribution points".
Probably because people have come to inquire about this in the past two days, the young man's face is a little impatient and confused: "The water pressure at the water tower is not normal, and I can't help it. The superiors have already invited experts, you go home Wait, then."
Hao Ren chatted with the young man at the pumping station. In the middle, Nangong Wuyue pretended to be curious and walked a few steps into the yard, listening intently to the voices inside. Seeing this situation, the young man hurriedly reminded: "Don't go into the yard, there are dogs inside, and the chain can be long."
He didn't realize that after Lily poked her head and glanced into the yard, those ferocious black backs had already bowed down respectfully as if they had met their ancestors.
Suddenly there was a creaking sound from the machine room in the yard, and then someone vaguely greeted him loudly, and the young man hurried back and ran: "The engine has something wrong again, I'll go back and watch, you go home and wait." Bar."
After the young man ran away, Hao Ren looked at Nangong Wuyue: "How is it? What's there?"
"The water is abnormal," the siren girl pointed to the corner of the outer wall of the yard. "The situation here is obviously a supernatural phenomenon."
Hao Ren looked in the direction of Nangong Wuyue's finger, and suddenly found a trickle flowing on the wet half of the concrete wall, and it was unbelievable that this trickle was moving upwards along the wall!
Lily sniffled: "I feel that the air humidity here is also a problem... Some places are very dry, and some places are as wet as in front of the waterfall. There seem to be a lot of moisture clusters in the air."
"Could it be your fellow clan?" Hao Ren suddenly thought of the sea monster's ability to control water, and he turned to look at Wu Yue, "Can the siren sense the same clan?"
"Yes, but you have to be close enough, and since humans add bleach to tap water, this sensory talent is not very useful in residential areas. I can only try my best." Nangong Wuyue frowned, sensing According to the flow direction of the abnormal water element in the air, it was found that all the abnormal water vapor was concentrated towards a certain place.
She looked up there, it was a water tower a hundred meters away.
Others couldn't see the abnormality of the water tower, but in Nangong Wuyue's eyes, the water tower was surrounded by thin threads, and countless water molecules that had deviated from the laws of nature were floating around there.
It seems that the young man at the pumping station just said that the most abnormal water pressure is in the water tower. (to be continued~^~)
