Even though Zhang Zian had already slept on the plane, he still fell asleep quickly and deeply. When he woke up, it was already dawn. There was no need to deal with jet lag.
When he opened his eyes, he almost instantly forced himself to wake up. Because he had some kind of illusion in his trance, his nerves were still tense. It was as if he was still sleeping in a tent in the Egyptian desert. The next moment, he would hear Peter Lee's roar, the sound of the tent's zipper being opened, and the rustling sound of running on the sand, tearing toilet paper while muttering to himself, "I can't hold it anymore," "I can't hold it anymore."
But it was very quiet. There was only the faint breathing of the elfins, and the sound of cars passing by outside the window, and the sound of neighbors waking up and going out to greet him.
Above him was not a tent with the texture of a tarpaulin, but a yellowed ceiling and old-fashioned ceiling lamps.
His eyes were still moist, unlike a ball bearing that had lost its lubricant. There was no glass-like sand in his mouth that made his teeth sore. The air he breathed in was moist and cool. There was no need to turn on the air conditioner.
At this time, the tense string in his brain slowly relaxed.
It was time to go home.
It was still early. He closed his eyes and laid down for a while, not for anything else, but for this moment of comfort.
After a few minutes, he still got up.
The elfins were still sleeping soundly in their respective positions, especially Famous and Fina. They had followed him almost the entire journey in Egypt, and they were exhausted after the trip. Last night, they had fallen asleep almost as soon as they laid on their beds.
After he woke up, he would often drink a glass of warm water first. Usually, he would not be able to finish it, and there would be water left over. But today, when there was water left over, he looked at it for half a second, then raised his head and drank it.
Whether it was running water, a wooden bed, a sturdy house, a toilet, or the coldness that could be felt when he opened the fridge, or the lights that could be turned on with a flick of a switch, these things that could be seen everywhere in life became especially precious after escaping from a life and death situation.
Of course, this also included saving electricity.
The weather was obviously very cool, but after he came back yesterday, whether it was Wang Qian, Li Kun, or the customers in the shop, they all complained that it was too hot. He had just turned off the air conditioner, but when he turned around, it was turned on again, forcing him to hide the air conditioner remote control. He thought that would solve the problem once and for all, but what was wrong with the mobile phone manufacturers? Why did they have to add a universal remote control function to the phone?
When he hid the remote control and went to the aquarium next door to check on the situation, a few clever male customers used their phones to turn on the air conditioner again. The other customers quickly learned the trick. Wasn't it obvious that they were going against him?
Looks like I have to think of a new way today. Should I use tape to glue the infrared receiver window of the air conditioner, or should I just pull the plug?
He washed his face while thinking. After washing, he was shocked to see a strange man in the mirror. He picked up a tube of toothpaste to defend himself, only to find that it was himself.
His tanned, skinny, dry hair, and unshaven self.
Not to mention Wang Qian and Li Kun, even he himself couldn't recognize him.
The trip to Egypt had a huge impact on him from the inside out. It seemed that before his skin color recovered, he could only call himself "Binhai Gu Tianle" for the time being.
"Gulp … Four Seasons Hotel … gulp …"
The bathtub bubbled, and Sihwa turned over while talking in her sleep. Her fishtail stirred up the water and splashed outside.
And this guy … He had to teach her to save water. Ever since she came, the monthly water bill had reached a new high.
After washing his face and returning to the bedroom, Vladimir heard the sound of him getting up. It rolled out from under the bed, rubbed its eyes, yawned, and lightly jumped onto the windowsill.
It was between early summer and midsummer, and the night was quite cool. It was so cool that Zhang Zian wanted to learn from the Bedouin people and wear a wool vest. So the window was only half-closed, leaving a gap for ventilation.
Vladimir used its paw to push open the window. Hearing his footsteps, it turned around and raised a paw to its ear, as if it was a very handsome salute, and handed it over. "Chrysanthemum Zhang, I'll leave this place to you! I'm at ease with you taking care of things! "Its eyes shot out with a whoosh.
After leaving for a period of time, it seemed that it was not very comfortable with the newly established and unstable Meow Meow Base. After coming back, it had a good sleep and hurried to inspect — if it had been in the past, it would have definitely gone out overnight. To be able to go out in the morning was already a great improvement.
He felt that it was really worrying too much. After all, the Holy Cat statue had been sent back to Egypt and was monitored by more than a dozen animal gods. It was imprisoned in a pyramid that weighed millions of tons and was suppressed by tens of millions of tons of yellow sand. Unless it was dug out again, it would not be able to cause trouble again. If that was the case, what else could threaten Vladimir and its stray cat army?
But anyway, it could not stay idle, so he let it play outside. When it was done, it would naturally come back.
After the window was opened, the noise of the traffic outside became even louder. The elfins with sensitive hearing got up one after another. When they first woke up, they were a little confused. They had an expression of "I didn't know I was a guest in a dream," and only woke up after a while.
During their time in Egypt, Pi spent most of its time sleeping on its phone during the day and writing novels on its laptop at night. The yellow sand and high temperature had no effect on it, so it quickly jumped onto the familiar writing desk, opened the Word document on the computer, and began to type. But even so, from its sitting posture, it could be seen that it was more relaxed when it was typing at home.
It was the same for the other elfins. They could be lazy at home, they could relax, and they could be kings.
Walking past the princess's bed, Fina had also just woken up, but it had not yet lifted the light gauze curtain.
"You seem to have lost weight. Congratulations," he said casually, and quickly ran downstairs before it could react.
Compared to before he had left, the cats and dogs in the shop had lost a few familiar faces, and there were a few new ones. The familiar faces had grown a little bigger, and their fur was thicker and denser. The new faces were timidly looking at him, and even lying in their cages and making low, threatening growls.
Other than that, there were no obvious changes in the shop. Everything was about the same as when he had left.
He opened the shutter door, and the Wuling Hong Guang MPV was parked at the door. If he had not driven an off-road vehicle into the desert in Egypt, but had prepared a few Wuling Hong Guang MPV that could transport goods and people, and could show off its power in Akina Mountain, it would have saved a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Mr. Store Manager, good morning!"
The first to come to work was Lu Yiyun. When the guys were wearing short sleeves, she was still wearing long sleeves and long pants, which made Zhang Zian firmly believe that the weather was not hot.
