"Hey! Did I see it wrong? Look! The cats and dogs in the shop seem to have returned to normal! "
Someone with sharp eyes pointed to the shop from afar, but still did not dare to take the risk and rashly go in to take a look.
"Really? I'll go take a look … "
"You have to be careful …"
Some young people with big dicks … No, some bold young people carefully ran to the door of the shop, stretched their necks to take a look inside, and sure enough, the pets had returned to normal. The kittens were hugging each other and rolling around, and the puppies were standing in the display cabinets in high spirits, looking at the passersby expectantly, waiting for the fated person to take them away.
"Huh? It's true! The pets have really returned to normal! "The person in charge of the inspection said in surprise.
Someone stubbornly retorted, "This doesn't mean anything. On the contrary, it may mean that an earthquake is coming soon!"
In fact, from a common sense point of view, what this person said was not wrong.
The reason why animals had a certain warning effect on earthquakes was that animals were more sensitive to ultrasound and infrasound waves. Before the earthquake waves reached the ground, they could hear the sound of the rupture and displacement of the earthquake zone deep in the earth's crust. When the local earthquake zone was completely broken, the sound stopped, and the abnormal behavior of the animals also ended. However, this did not mean that the danger was over. On the contrary, it was possible that the earthquake waves would reach the ground immediately.
However, today's situation had nothing to do with common sense.
Most people were hesitant. For the sake of caution, they stood in place and did not move. However, they hung up and put down their phones one after another. Several people simply turned off their phones and quietly distanced themselves from those who were still insisting on making calls, so that they would not be affected by lightning …
"Look at the bats on the ground over there! They seem to have woken up too! "Someone pointed in another direction and said.
The bats that had been flying around were like blind people who could see the light again. They regained their normal navigation ability and agilely flapped their wings to avoid obstacles. They swept over the roof of the pet shop and flew in the direction of the green space behind the shop.
Unfortunately, the bats that had knocked themselves unconscious also woke up one after another. However, bats were used to taking off upside down from branches or under the eaves. It was not so easy to take off on flat ground. They used the joints of their wings to support themselves on the ground, stumbling to find the right position and angle, and tried to take off again, looking very pitiful.
If it was a group of cute birds, the onlookers would definitely go forward to help them. Although most people knew that bats were beneficial beasts, their ugly appearance and sharp teeth made them stop in their tracks. Moreover, it was said that bat teeth were not clean and could also spread rabies. They did not want to be bitten for no reason and then have to get vaccinated.
Seeing this situation, Wang Qian added, "Did you see that? Master said it wasn't an earthquake, but you didn't believe him. The abnormal behavior of these animals is because of the low atmospheric pressure before the rain. The reason why the mice moved could be because of the rain as well as the earthquake! "
"But cats and dogs aren't mice. Will they become like this when the air pressure is low?"
The pitiful amount of ink in Wang Qian's stomach had all been dug out, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.
At that moment, Zhang Zian pushed open the window on the second floor and said to the people below, "Not only is the air pressure low, but the air is also humid and full of electric charges … Maybe it's raining not too far north, and the thunder is coming from there. We can't hear it, but the animals can hear it. The pets in my shop are all about three months old. They have never heard thunder before, so they are panicking."
This explanation was definitely not perfect, but it was barely acceptable.
More customers were swayed. Although Zhang Zian was single and a miser, he had always been very knowledgeable about pets. Moreover, he was still safely on the second floor of the pet shop, as if he didn't take the abnormal reactions of the animals seriously. If he dared to do this, he must have a considerable degree of confidence.
There was another dazzling flash of lightning.
Rumble rumble rumble!
It was another earth-shattering clap of thunder. The sound lingered in the air for three seconds.
This clap of thunder was even louder than the first one. It almost exploded right beside everyone's ears, causing their eardrums to tremble.
"I don't care if you guys go in or not. I'm going in anyway." Wang Qian had completed his task. He ran back to the shop, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and leisurely crossed his legs.
Lu Yi Yun had not gone out. She was relieved at this time, but she vaguely felt that Zhang Zian might be fooling again. Not only the three-month-old kittens, but even her Jasmine was running around the shop like crazy. This had never happened before.
Someone moved.
A few young girls who came in a group had left their umbrellas behind when they escaped from the shop. If they got caught in the rain, their meticulous makeup would be ruined, and their light clothes would be drenched until they looked like they were wearing see-through clothes. After weighing the pros and cons, they decisively chose to enter the house to avoid the rain and keep their makeup.
However, they were not stupid. After entering the house and taking the umbrellas, they occupied a position near the door. If something happened, they could escape from the shop again at any time.
Based on the principle that if the sky fell down, there would be someone taller to hold it up. A few more customers also entered the shop, picked up the things they had just thrown away, and stood near the door.
The others thought about it. That's right. When they ran away, they were in a daze. The bags, umbrellas, and other things that they had brought were all left in the shop. They couldn't really throw them away. It would be quite distressing. They should at least pick them up first. Otherwise, wouldn't they be letting Zhang Zian take advantage of them?
People returned to the shop one after another. About half of them picked up their things and immediately went home. The other half stayed for the time being, but they were still not completely at ease. From time to time, they looked at the sky and whispered to each other. They were guessing whether or not there would be an earthquake.
Of course, there was no earthquake.
Zhang Zian finally breathed a sigh of relief on the second floor. He had almost made things unmanageable.
Drip …
Drip, drip …
Hua …
Hua …
A gust of wind blew up the dust that had accumulated on the ground, and the plastic bags and waste paper flew into the sky.
At first, there were only a few drops of rain, but in the blink of an eye, the rain became very heavy.
The sky was covered with dark clouds. Lightning shuttled between the dark clouds, appearing and disappearing. The rumbling of thunder was endless.
Looking at the rain, there was no sign of it stopping for a while.
Zhang Zian silently stared at the raindrops and couldn't help but think of an old legend.
It was said that in the weather of thunder and lightning, when a fish finally made the great leap through the dragon gate with unremitting efforts, the thunder would strike the fish's tail. The fish would transform into a dragon, and from then on, travel freely in the sky and the sea. There was a special term for this, called "burning tail."
Maybe … it could transform into a human.
