When he had nothing to do at home, Hao Ren had the habit of going out for a stroll. After breakfast, he would bring the cat along and stroll for an hour. Occasionally, he would meet acquaintances and have a chat. To him, this was the best life in life. Although Lily occasionally muttered that his mentality was like a retired veteran, Hao Ren felt that this life was better than anything else.
But since Rollie had transformed into a human, this daily pastime was no longer as easy. In the past, when he brought her out, he just had to walk in front and let the silly cat run around. She would come back when she was done playing. But now, it was not the same. Just a few hundred meters from home to White Stone Road, Hao Ren had pulled the cat girl up from the ground three times in a row. He even pulled her head out of the trash can once...
Hao Ren was exhausted from walking the cat girl. He pressed the wide-brimmed bonnet on the cat girl's head (used to cover her ears) and asked, "When are you going to learn how to live like a human..."
"I've learned it. So, can you give me dried fish? I missed it at home just now! "
Y'zaks was walking in front with his daughter on his shoulder. When he heard the noise behind him, he turned his head and smiled. "Didn't you say that Rollie would go for a stroll in Aerym? Why are you still bringing her here for a stroll? "
"She has to be willing to stay at home." Hao Ren sighed helplessly. "No matter who goes out, she has to follow. If they don't agree, she'll scratch the door or chew on the curtains. She can't be hit or scolded. Instead of letting Lily bring her out to cause trouble, I'll walk her myself. "
The cat girl tilted her head and listened to Hao Ren. In fact, she had made some progress these days. At least, she vaguely knew that her usual words and actions would bring trouble to her master. So, she tried to observe and made the judgment that a cat should have: she squatted at Hao Ren's feet and began to rub against his trousers. "Big Boss Cat, are you happy now? You guys are so troublesome... "
Hao Ren was speechless.
They strolled to the southern section of White Stone Road, and there were more people going out for a walk in the morning. There were only a few residents left in Southern Jiujiang, so White Stone Road and the commercial street were the only lively spots in the area. The residents of the small town were very familiar with each other. From time to time, someone would greet Hao Ren as they passed by. "Hao Ren, I heard that you went on a business trip two days ago?"
Some of the bolder ones greeted Y 'zaks. "Daquan, you're out again?"
Basically, the second type of people were mostly old ladies.
But it was all a joke. Although Y 'zaks had caused a lot of trouble in the Southern Suburbs when he first arrived, it had been a year since then. At least he had become familiar with the locals in Whitestone Road. The old men and women on the street knew that there was a big man who looked fierce but was actually good-tempered. After a few cautious interactions, they were not wary of him anymore. Y 'zaks was a practical person. He liked to help the neighbors. He would help the owner carry a liquefied gas, help the west carry half a cart of bricks, and when someone was repairing a house, he would go over to help carry 30 to 50 bags of cement. After a while, he finally blended into the circle of residents in Southern Jiujiang. Considering the bonus of his face, it was an epic achievement.
Of course, there were still occasional misunderstandings. People who were not familiar with Y 'zaks would still call the police when they saw such a big man walking towards them. Especially when Y' zaks went out with Y 'lisabet, he could increase the number of police officers by at least 50 percent. So after a few such blunders, the old ladies on Whitestone Road knew about it. The first thing they said when they saw Y 'zaks was, "You're out again?"
Y 'lisabet sat on Y' zaks' shoulder and giggled. "My dad is so cool wherever he goes!"
Y 'zaks did not know whether to laugh or cry. He turned to Hao Ren and spread his hands. "Looks really matter everywhere you go."
At this time, the four of them just strolled to the front of the small supermarket at the intersection. As soon as Hao Ren looked up, he saw the fat boss was sweeping water on the road nearby with a big broom. A large pool of water had come out of nowhere and had flooded the drainage holes on the curb. Hao Ren called from afar. "Big boss, you're washing your car early in the morning?"
"Washing my car? The water pipe burst again!" The fat boss was sweating and waved his hand. "Damn it, it burst three times in two days. I don't know what the pump house is doing, but the water pressure is particularly abnormal these two days. Either there's no water, or the water pressure is so high that it can break the valve."
A customer who was eating at the breakfast stall next to him looked up. "You're not bad. At least there's water now. My house has been without water for two days. A few people around here have water, but I don't have water. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to come out to eat. "
"That's because the water pipe in your house is clogged," Hao Ren said. "We're all from the same main road. How can you not have water when others have it?"
"I don't know what's going on. It's not winter, and the pipe won't freeze. Anyway, the water has been abnormal these two days. When I turn on the faucet, I can hear the water rushing in the pipe, but it just won't go out … Ask my brother tomorrow. He's a plumber. "
At this time, a middle-aged man who was eating tofu at the next table suddenly looked up and said in a muffled voice, "There's nothing wrong with the pump house. My son works in the pump house."
The fat boss put down the broom and took a breath. "Then why is the water abnormal these two days?"
"I don't know what's going on in the pump house. My son has been working overtime for the past two days. He said that there's nothing wrong with the machines there. It's just that the water pressure is fluctuating. One time, it seems that there was a backflow or something, and a pressurized pump was burned." The middle-aged man shook his head and drank the last mouthful of soup. "My son said that there's something wrong with the pump house these days …"
The boss of the breakfast stall also shouted, "Old Zhang, stop it. The more you talk, the more mysterious it is!"
The other customers and the fat boss of the supermarket also joked with each other for a while. They complained about the abnormal water and the strange habits of "Old Zhang", and then left. However, Hao Ren stepped forward and stopped the middle-aged man who was about to pay the bill and leave. "Brother, you said that there's something wrong with the pump house these two days? What's wrong with it? "
"I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously." The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand. "I don't understand what my son is talking about in the pump house."
"Oh," Hao Ren said, thoughtfully turned around and was about to leave. However, when he turned his head, he found that the silly cat had disappeared again. He quickly looked around and saw that the silly cat was squatting at the feet of the stall owner, looking at him eagerly. She looked as useless as she could be.
The stall owner was at a loss with a spoon in his hand. He turned his head and saw Hao Ren. "Is this your girlfriend? What kind of … habit does she have? "
Hao Ren choked and coughed repeatedly. He quickly explained, "Ahem, no, no, this is my sister … Come here quickly!"
"I want to eat buns." The silly cat squatted and turned her head. "I'm hungry. Give me buns!"
Suddenly, the people around them looked at them differently. Hao Ren had cold sweat all over his face. He quickly bought two buns for the silly cat. God knows how many times the silly cat ate in a day before she was full. It had only been less than an hour since breakfast!
When they walked to a secluded place, Y 'zaks said, "Do you think there's something wrong with this?"
"About the tap water?" Hao Ren nodded slightly with his arms crossed. "I think my intuition is usually more accurate. There is indeed something strange about this. If what they said is true, this is a supernatural phenomenon. Maybe it has something to do with the otherworldlings. "
"Or maybe it's just a rumor. It's not a big deal. Don't worry about it," said Y 'zaks.
"It's not a big deal. But I have nothing better to do. Besides, being an inspector requires keen observation and keen intuition." Hao Ren shrugged. "Let's ask Wuyue when she comes back. She's in charge of the water supply. Let's see it as doing a good deed for the neighbors."
The cat girl nibbled on the bun as she looked at Hao Ren and then at Y 'zaks. Suddenly, she put half of the bun in Hao Ren's mouth. "So here's a bun for you."
Hao Ren could not understand the cat's logic at all. How did she process the information in her mind after observing the world? It was an unsolved mystery. How could she come up with a 'so' out of nowhere?
Hao Ren went home and waited until noon when Nangong Wuyue came back. He told her what he heard when he walked outside today. He did not expect Nangong Wuyue to frown. "The water in other places is abnormal too? Seems like there's a problem. "
