Because of his fixed biological clock, Zhang Zian hadn't waited for the alarm to ring for a long time, but today was an exception. Outside the window, it was still dark and silent. His cell phone rang.
He had gone to bed early last night, but he was too excited to fall asleep. He was still sleepy when he woke up.
He couldn't stay in bed today, not Zhang Zian or Fina. The plane didn't wait for people or cats.
Not only him, but the elfins were also woken up by the alarm. They opened their mouths wide and yawned.
"Get up. We'll leave after eating something." Zhang Zian jumped out of bed first.
Everything had been prepared in advance. No matter how serious his procrastination was, he wouldn't wait until the plane was about to leave.
The elfins were also active. They had heard from him that it would be a very, very long journey today. They had to fill their stomachs. There were kebabs in the fridge. They could eat them after heating them up in the microwave. Although Fina hated food that was not freshly baked, they would have to starve if they didn't eat it. Zhang Zian was the same. He had to carry all the luggage. How could they not fill their stomachs?
Soon, everyone finished their breakfast and went down to the first floor. Zhang Zian stayed on the second floor to check if the windows were closed, the natural gas was turned off, and the water pipes were turned off. They would be gone for at least a few days. He didn't want anything to go wrong in his house.
Xinghai didn't like crowded places. Old Time Tea and Snowy Lionet didn't have scientific research certificates, so they couldn't take public transportation. Although they could travel in stealth mode, Zhang Zian thought that Old Time Tea was old, so he advised it to stay in the phone and come out when they arrived in the United States. Old Time Tea agreed. As for Snowy Lionet, it would only cause more trouble if it stayed outside.
Zhang Zian put Xinghai, Old Time Tea, and Snowy Lionet back into the game and pulled up the shutter door.
Everything was quiet. The darkness before dawn was the thickest. The cold wind blew, and the remaining snow from the previous two days remained in the shady corner of the wall. The night sky was dotted with a few cold stars. There was almost no one on the road.
Zhang Zian exhaled a mouthful of white air, looked back at the shop, and thought about it for a few seconds. After making sure that he had not missed anything, he turned off the switch. The shop became so dark that he could not even see his fingers. Although he had only been away for a few days, a sense of nostalgia welled up in his heart.
Richard was already under his hood, huddling for warmth. Fina was no longer as lazy as usual. It walked back and forth agilely, relying on the movement of its muscles to provide extra heat.
Zhang Zian pulled down the shutter door and locked it.
"Let's go."
He grabbed the handle of the suitcase.
This old suitcase was the one he brought with him when he came back from other places. He thought he would leave with it after dealing with his parents' funeral and selling the shop. He didn't expect it to be dusty in the corner of the storage room until now.
Fei Na did not move, staring at the darkness with a burning gaze.
"Achoo!" Someone sneezed.
"Who's there?" Zhang Zian subconsciously reached for his cell phone. Could it be the Rainbow Warrior or something like that again?
Two people ran out of the darkness, wiping their snot as they ran. When they got closer, he realized that they were Wang Qian and Li Kun.
"Master! It's us! "
Their faces were pale from the cold. It was obvious that they had been waiting outside for a long time.
"What are you doing here?" Zhang Zian asked in confusion.
"Of course we are here to send you off. If you need anything, we will do it for you!" Li Kun explained, while Wang Qian took over the suitcase from Zhang Zian.
"You guys are so free! I am not a weak woman. Why are you sending me off? "Zhang Zian shook his head, but he did not refuse their kindness." Go get a taxi. "
"Okay!" Li Kun agreed. "Master, are you going to the airport or the station?"
"The station."
Domestic airlines did not have a clear attitude towards pets entering the cabin. They were quite strict with the rules. Even with Professor Wei Kang's scientific research certificate, it would be useless. Therefore, Zhang Zian decided not to challenge their rules. He would take the high-speed train to Shanghai first, and then take an international flight with United Airlines.
Li Kun stopped an empty taxi, and Wang Qian stuffed the suitcase into the trunk. Three people and a cat got in the car at the same time. Fei Na occupied the front seat without hesitation, and the three of them squeezed in the back seat. Richard jumped out of the hood and saw the three men sitting side by side. It was so excited that it squeaked, "Playing with each other! Playing with each other! Three kids on the same seat! "
The driver was so shocked that he almost drove the car onto the sidewalk!
Zhang Zian looked back at the pet shop sign that was gradually disappearing from the rear window, and a smile appeared on his face.
He came back alone, but he did not leave alone.
...
When he entered the waiting hall, Zhang Zian tried his best to explain to the security officer why he did not bring a birdcage or a cat cage, and he showed him the certificate issued by Professor Wei Kang. The security officer called his superior for instructions, and then called Binhai University for confirmation. After a long time, he was reluctantly let in.
It was relatively easy to get on the plane. The flight attendants of United Airlines seemed to have received similar passengers before, and they were not too surprised. After checking the certificate that Zhang Zian showed, they let him on the plane.
The passengers were very curious, especially the children. They looked at Richard and Fei Na, and asked their parents why this person could bring pets on the plane. The adults were also very curious, and a few people came up to him to ask him. Zhang Zian did not want to explain in detail. After all, he had used his connections to get in through the back door.
When the plane finally took off, the curious passengers were persuaded by the flight attendants to return to their seats.
His seat was a three-person seat. He sat in the middle, Fei Na sat inside by the window, and Richard sat near the aisle.
When the flight attendant pushed the dining cart past, Richard shouted excitedly, "Fruit salad! Fruit salad! "
Before boarding the plane, Zhang Zian had fantasized about whether he would have a romantic encounter with a young and beautiful blonde flight attendant. However, the cruel reality shattered his fantasies. Perhaps young and beautiful blonde flight attendants did exist, but they definitely only served in first class or business class, not the economy class he was sitting in. The flight attendants pushing the dining cart were definitely flight attendants who were over 40 years old.
Although she was a flight attendant, she was very kind, and she liked Richard, the little guy who could talk. She looked at Zhang Zian and asked him with a questioning look.
Zhang Zian nodded and said in English, "Please give it a fruit salad, thank you."
Richard hummed a popular song from the 90s and happily pecked at the fruit salad, as if he had gone back to the days when they traveled on the plane together. At that time, she also encountered a lot of trouble when she took it on the plane. She also had to issue a scientific research certificate to get on the plane. Therefore, it seemed that Zhang Zian was not too stupid to come up with this idea. Maybe he was still far from her, but at least he was not a hopeless idiot.
Zhang Zian's cell phone had been turned off when he got on the plane. He had put it in his bag, so he did not know that his cell phone suddenly turned on automatically and entered the game.
[Game Tip]: Congratulations! Your favorability with the Apprehensive Bird has been upgraded to trust, and it has gained the ability to move freely!
The message flashed, and the cell phone quietly turned off automatically, as if nothing had happened.
...
The plane flew steadily, and there was an endless ocean below. Most of the passengers were asleep, and some were busy with their own things, such as working on their laptops or reading newspapers. The cabin was quiet for a while. Richard was full, and he began to feel sleepy.
It was the first time that Zhang Zian had seen the Pacific Ocean. At first, he was quite interested, but the monotonous scenery soon made him sleepy.
He got up too early in the morning. He yawned and was about to take a nap, but he noticed that Fina had been staring out of the porthole since they got on the plane. However, there was nothing but white clouds and the sea outside the porthole.
Zhang Zian felt that something was wrong. This was not like Fina, who usually liked to sleep. Why did it like to fly so much?
He looked at the passengers in front and behind him, who were all sleeping, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you sleepy? It will be a long time before we arrive in the United States. You can take a nap in your seat. "
Fina seemed to be reluctant to turn back, and its green eyes were shining with confusion. "When will we fly over the black land?"
Zhang Zian's heart sank, and he was no longer sleepy.
It turned out that this was what it had been waiting for. It wanted to see Egypt again from the air, to see the long-lost pyramids, to see the majestic Sphinx, to see the black land that it had wandered over, and to see the hometown that it had missed so much …
Zhang Zian was speechless for a while, but Fina kept staring at him, waiting for his answer.
Although he couldn't bear it, he still told it the cruel truth. "This flight will not pass over Egypt. It will go in another direction — the opposite direction, so you don't have to wait. No matter how long you wait, you won't be able to see it."
Fina looked at him for a while, as if to know if he was lying.
Zhang Zian had never been afraid to look at Fina, but at this time, he did not know why he could not look directly into its eyes. If he could, he wanted to pretend that he did not see the deep disappointment in its eyes.
After a moment, it said, "Oh," silently lying on the seat, and closed its eyes.
