Chapter 660: The Desperate Phimas
Zhang Zian is used to Wang Gan, Li Kun and Lu Yiyun coming to work in the store one after another every morning, and suddenly none of them came, which is really awkward, and he has to do everything by himself, this is the so-called change from thrift to extravagance , it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. --
After coaxing and deceiving, it was hard to persuade Fina so that everyone can go to the police dog nursing home together. As for what to do if Fina finds out that she has been fooled again in the future... Let's talk about it in the future.
Many companies, enterprises and institutions were on holiday yesterday, and there are not as many migrant workers in Binhai City as there are in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but even so, the whole city seems to be quite empty on New Year's Eve. Li's Supreme Sucking Cat Snack Bar, which usually has a long queue, only had two or three people lined up outside the store today.
Zhang Zian didn't open the rolling shutter door, since there were no guests anyway. He was sweeping the floor when he saw π pick up a rag and follow his example to wipe the table.
"Thank you, π, but let me come, you go and play, it's rare to have a day off today." He snatched the rag from it.
Pi scratched his head and looked around cautiously.
Since coming to the pet shop, it has been staying on the second floor, basically never going downstairs, the first floor is a completely strange world to it. Every elf occupies its own territory, making it feel a little at a loss.
"Let's watch some TV." Zhang Zian saw its confusion and said.
π tried to move to the front of the TV, but he didn't dare to get too close to the old tea, squatting on the ground with a distance of more than one meter, staring at the TV screen.
According to the annual routine of the TV, there is a "Spring Festival" special. There are many people wandering outside the train station and the airport terminal. It's very fresh, and it allows them to experience how many people there are in China.
Old Cha moved to the side, signaling for him to take a closer look.
Pi moved a little closer, and it seemed much more comfortable to watch TV.
The TV reporter walked into the waiting hall of the train station. The hall was full of passengers with big bags and small bags, and most of them were playing with their phones with their heads down.
The reporter randomly selected a few people to interview, and the questions they asked were relatively routine, nothing more than whether it was difficult to buy tickets, whether they wanted to go home, and so on.
"Huh? Is that person looking at you?" Lao Cha pointed at a young man in the corner of the screen.
That person was accidentally photographed by the reporter when he was randomly interviewing another person. As a background npc, he sat on a chair without even looking up, staring intently at the phone screen, and the screen on the phone screen seemed to be the starting point app, and one of the icons on the bookshelf was the cover of π.
"Squeak!" Pi exclaimed happily. Although the person just added it to the bookshelf and wasn't looking at it, it was still something to be happy about.
This scene lasted only a few seconds, and the reporter turned to interview other people.
Pi became more focused on watching, leaning his neck forward, for fear of missing any picture.
However, until the end of this "Spring Festival" interview, there was no similar scene. Originally, it was already very lucky to meet someone who was reading my book in the vast crowd, and I couldn't ask for more. But this also shows from the side that more and more people read the Internet.
Pi sighed slightly disappointed.
"Meow ~ π, do you want to play hide and seek together?"
It turned its face away, and Xinghai squatted behind it, looking at it expectantly.
π covered his head in fear, the pain from hitting his head when playing hide and seek last time was still fresh in his memory.
Zhang Zian laughed loudly when he saw this, "π, don't worry, just be more careful in the future, don't be easily deceived by Femas."
"No, it's your business if you want to play hide-and-seek, don't get involved with me, I can't play your hide-and-seek." Femas flatly refused.
"So, Femas, you surrendered?" Zhang Zian challenged while leaning on his broom.
Femas retorted: "Admit defeat? No, I didn't admit defeat. I just don't want to kill people because of playing hide-and-seek!"
"There's no need to find excuses, just admit defeat..." Zhang Zian waved his hand.
Femas: "...It seems that I won't give you some flair. Do you really think I'm scared? Well, just play."
"Okay, who will be the ghost? How about you decide by guessing fist?" Zhang Zian laughed, and Fei Masi's answer was exactly what he wanted.
Femas looked down at his and Xinghai's paws, and at Zhang Zian's and π's palms, feeling Dandan's sorrow in his heart, knowing that he would definitely lose if he guessed the boxing game.
"No, you can't guess fists, flip a coin!" It said firmly.
"Toss a coin..." Zhang Zian put down the broom, touched his trousers pocket, took out his wallet and looked through it, "I don't have any coins with me, wait a minute."
He went to the second floor to look for coins, and after a while, he came down with a one-yuan coin.
"Come on, who and who guess?" He tossed the coin into the air, then clasped it between his palms with a snap, and asked.
"Meow ~ Xinghai guesses first!" Xinghai said happily.
Femas: "..." If it guesses the coin, it knows that it is definitely not Xinghai's opponent.
"Isn't anyone guessing with Xinghai?" Zhang Zian looked at them, "Then I'll give up too, Xinghai doesn't have to guess. Femas and π guess first, and whoever loses will guess with me. How about it?"
"That's fair." Phymus agreed.
It said generously to π: "You guess first."
Zhang Zian also said to π: "π, you haven't guessed a coin before, have you? Just guess which side goes up, is it the side with numbers or the side with 'flowers'?"
π blinked, gestured for them to wait, and went back to the second floor with all four limbs. When he came down, he held his book in his arms, opened it, and stretched out his finger to gesture a "1".
Femas: "...You are cheating! Didn't you say you can't use your abilities?"
"It means you can't use abilities during hide-and-seek, and now it's time to guess coins." Zhang Zian corrected, "If you want to use abilities, you can also use them."
"Forget it, I admit defeat." Femas said helplessly. π's book records life, the universe and everything, including the heads and tails of the coin, and Femas is no match for it when it comes to coin guessing.
"Squeak!" Pi smiled happily.
"It's just the two of us now." Zhang Zian said to Femas seriously, "I'll give you a chance to admit defeat."
"I won't lose to you, let's rely on luck." Femas said disdainfully, "I'll let you guess first."
"Well."
Zhang Zian flicked the coin into the air again, and the coin drew a silver trail and fell into his palm again.
He stared intently at the back of his palm, as if he could see through the palm of his hand.
"Stop pretending to be a fool, act like you have some superpowers too..." Fei Max complained, "Do you think I've been tricked?"
Unmoved, Zhang Zian raised his eyes to stare at it and said, "I guess the side with numbers is facing up."
"Then I'll guess that the side with the 'flower' is facing up." Femas said, "Okay, don't waste time, just move your palm away and have a look."
Zhang Zian moved his palm away, and the "1" on the coin came into view, and he won.
Femas sighed badly, closed his eyes, "I'm going to start counting, you guys go and hide it! 1, 2, 3, 4..."
"Meow~"
"Squeak!"
"Haha! Don't peek at Femas! You can't cheat!"
The three footsteps ran away in different directions.
Femus patiently counted to 100 and opened his eyes.
It searched around on the first floor first, but didn't find any of them, apparently they were all hiding on the second floor.
When it came to the second floor, it repeated its old trick and shouted loudly: "I saw you, don't hide!"
This time π was not fooled.
Fimas is not discouraged, anyway, the places where it can hide are limited, and it is not afraid that it will not find them.
Having learned the lessons from the previous experience, it went straight to the kitchen, and first opened the 'door' of the refrigerator with its claws.
There is no one in the refrigerator, just some fresh vegetables and fruits.
Fei Masi kept muttering in his heart, thinking that Zhang Zian would not really hide in the freezer, would he?
"Are you in there?" It stared at the freezer and asked, "The same move can only be used against me once. If you are inside, you'd better come out and admit defeat, otherwise I'll find tape to seal the freezer up?" "
After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the freezer.
Zhang Zian was really not inside, or did he think it was deceiving him?
Femas hesitated for a moment, and opened the 'door' of the freezer with his claws.
A burst of cold air gushed out, and it was normal that there was no one in the freezer. It would be scary if there were people...
Femas was somewhat relieved, it seemed that Zhang Zian was not too insane...
Just in case, it opened the kitchen cabinets one by one to search again, then jumped onto the stove and looked into the range hood. It also didn't know why it was looking in the 'extractor' range hood, anyway, Zhang Zian wasn't in it either.
The persimmon wanted to pick the softest persimmon, Femas subconsciously regarded Zhang Zian as the softest persimmon, Xinghai didn't say anything, it heard Zhang Zian recite π yesterday, and knew how good Xinghai was at playing hide and seek, and π is blessed by books, so it seems that it should not be underestimated.
Besides, Xinghai and π are both small in size and can be hidden in many places, but Zhang Zian is such a big living person, can he go to heaven and earth?
Fei Max continued to search confidently.
The kitchen has already been searched, and then it entered the bedroom and living room one after another, whether it is the wardrobe, under the 'bed', under the table, it searched all the places where large things can be hidden, but instead of finding Xinghai and π, Not even Zhang Zian was found.
Weird thing!
Femas was stunned. Now there is only a storage room left on the second floor. Could it be that all three of them hid in the storage room? Did you agree not to put all the eggs in the same basket?
No matter what, it pushed open the 'door' of the storage room with the last ray of hope.
There are a lot of clutter in the storage room, but the cat, the monkey, and the man are all missing.
Fei Max was unwilling to admit defeat, especially unwilling to lose to Zhang Zian, and searched up and down the first and second floors, but still couldn't find the three of them.
"Old Cha, the three of them haven't gone out, have they?" It ran to confirm with Old Cha.
"No." Old Tea smiled.
Fei Masi believes that Old Tea will not lie to it, but this is very strange. Could it be that the three of them really went to heaven and earth?
It raised its head and glanced at Fei Na's cat climbing frame, there was no Zhang Zian on the cat climbing frame... Well, if Zhang Zian was lying on the cat climbing frame, it must be more terrifying than the end of the world.
Femas searched again, this time even rummaging through the trash can in the kitchen, but still to no avail.
Thinking of the sea mouth I boasted before playing hide and seek, it felt a burning pain in the face...
"Hey! Come out! I've surrendered!" it shouted as it ran to the second floor.
"Meow~meow~ Xinghai won!" Xinghai ran out from the direction of the bedroom and cheered happily.
Femas was mentally prepared for Xinghai's elusiveness, and asked, "Xinghai, do you see them?"
"Meow~" Xinghai shook his head, "Xinghai was the first one to come up."
Fimas was still about to ask, but heard a few very faint creaks also coming from the direction of the bedroom.
It's evil, why are one or two hidden in the bedroom?
"π, where are you?" It ran into the bedroom and asked.
"Squeak."
Phimas followed the sound and came to... the air purifier.
"..."
The air purifier vibrates slightly.
Femas remembered that he saw the filter element of the air purifier in the storage room just now, and it felt weird at the time, but he didn't think about it deeply, so...
"Pi, are you hiding in the air purifier?" it asked.
"Squeak."
Inside the air purifier, the sound of π is dull.
Sometimes the air quality in Binhai City is not good, so every family always has an air purifier. The second floor of the pet shop is relatively large, and the bedroom and living room are connected again. This air purifier is not small. Although it cannot hide people, it is no problem to hide a young monkey.
Femas said to the air purifier: "Zhang Zian hid you in there, right? Wait for him to release you later. By the way, where is he hiding?"
Boom!
There was a knock on the bedroom window.
However... this is the window on the second floor.
"Quick... come and give me a hand, I'm about to fall..." Zhang Zian's voice for help came from outside the window.
Femas stood up, grabbed the window sill and looked out, saw Zhang Zian holding the outer edge of the window sill with both hands, his whole body was suspended in the air, his legs kicking wildly...
"Femas, give me a hand..." Zhang Zian forced a smile.
Femas also showed a honey smile.
With a smile on his mouth, mmp in his heart.
Old Cha really didn't lie to it, Zhang Zian really didn't go out, he went out through the window, and stayed outside the window sill, no wonder he couldn't be found.
As a commercial and residential building facing the street, the pet shop has a relatively high floor. After Zhang Zian grabbed the window sill, his feet were about two or three meters above the ground. Although a fall from this distance would not kill anyone, it might sprain his ankle.
Outside the window is the secluded alley behind the store, no one is walking around at this time, otherwise they might call the police.
"Quick, Femas, don't just look, give me a hand, my fingers are going to cramp, I can't hold them anymore..." Zhang Zian urged.
Femas asked unhurriedly: "When you decided to do this, didn't you think that your fingers might cramp?"
"This..." Zhang Zi'an smiled guiltily, "Didn't think of that at the time..."
At this time, Xinghai also jumped onto the window sill, "Meow ~ Zian, you are hiding outside the window again!"
Femas: "...It seems that you are a habitual offender?"
"No, no, it's really a misunderstanding!" Zhang Zian hurriedly explained, "When I used to play hide-and-seek with Xinghai, I usually lay on the window sill, because Xinghai is relatively short, but you are tall, so I thought about squatting You will definitely see it on the window sill, so I made this trick..."
"I don't even support the wall, so I will obey you!" Fei Max complained, "You know it's a bad idea, but you still do it? Why don't you go to the sky?"
"Stop talking, I was wrong, quickly pull me up..." Zhang Zian begged for mercy.
Femas was once again convinced that the hide-and-seek played by Zhang Zian and Xinghai was no longer in the same dimension as the hide-and-seek played by ordinary people. Angrily, it went to the storage room to find a strong rope, wrapped one end around the 'door' handle of the bedroom, and threw the other end through the window, allowing Zhang Zian to grab hold of it, and climbed safely back into the house along the rope.
"Femas, what's the matter, have you conceded defeat?" He was fully revived with his arms akimbo, and said arrogantly.
A silver coin rolled out of his 'pants' pocket, bounced on the ground a few times, and was held down by Femas's paw before it fell over.
It looked down at the front, it was the number "1", and then looked at the back, it was still the number "1"...
"What kind of coin is this? Why are there numbers on both sides?" it asked seriously.
"Cough!" Seeing that his trick was exposed, Zhang Zian coughed dryly and said, "This is the magic coin I bought before..."
Femas has long been unable to complain, "I beg you, don't call me next time playing hide-and-seek!"
Zhang Zian looked at the time and concluded his statement with satisfaction: "This is a successful hide-and-seek, this is a united hide-and-seek, this is a hide-and-seek that inherits the past and ushers in the future. A game of hide-and-seek to unify thoughts and unite people's hearts... Then what, it's almost time for dinner, let's go after dinner."
