Chapter 571 Water Problem

When he is free at home, Hao Ren has the habit of going out for a walk. After breakfast, he takes the cat with him and walks on the street for an hour. Occasionally he meets acquaintances and chats. For him, this is considered the bliss of life - although Lily occasionally He muttered that his mentality was like that of a retired cadre, but Hao Ren felt that this kind of life was better than anything else.

However, this daily pastime has not become so easy since "Gun" became a human. In the past, when I took her out, I just had to walk in front of her. Don't worry about the silly cat running around. Anyway, she will definitely come when she has enough fun. But now we can't do this: just walk from the door of the house to Baishi Road Street in just a few short steps. Within a hundred meters, Hao Ren had already pulled the cat girl up from the ground three times in a row, and once pulled her head out of the trash can...

Hao Ren was exhausted mentally and physically from walking the cat. He pressed the wide-brimmed soft hat on Cat Girl's head (to cover her ears): "When will you completely learn the human way of life..."

"I've learned it, so why don't you give me dried fish? I didn't get any at home just now!"

Yzaks carried his daughter and walked in front. When he heard the movement behind him, he turned around and smiled: "Didn't you tell me to let Go go for a walk in Irem in the future? Why are you still leading her here to relax now?"

"She also has to be willing to stay at home," Hao Ren sighed helplessly. "No matter who goes out, she will follow him. If he doesn't agree, he will scratch the door or chew the curtains. She will not be beaten or scolded. Instead of giving in, Lily takes her out to get into trouble, so I’ll walk her myself.”

The cat girl tilted her head and listened to Hao Ren's words. In fact, she had made some progress these days. At least she vaguely knew that her usual words and deeds would bring trouble to her master. So at this time, she tried to observe his words and made some decisions. The judgment a cat should make: squatting at Hao Ren's feet and starting to rub the latter's trouser legs: "Big cat, this will make you happy, right? You guys are really troublesome~~"

Hao Ren: "..."

After strolling to the southern section of Baishi Road, more and more people went out for a walk in the morning. There are only a few residents left in the southern suburbs, and Baishi Road and Back Street Commercial Street have become the only lively places in this place. The residents of the small place are very familiar with each other. From time to time, someone would say hello to Hao Ren when passing by: "Hao Ren, I heard that you were on a business trip two days ago?"

There are also those who are more courageous or have a strong taste and say hello to Yzaks: "Daqo, has it been released again?"

Basically, the second type of people are mostly local old ladies.

But this is all a joke. Although Yzaks did cause a lot of trouble in the southern suburbs when he first came here, now that a year has passed, at least he is still familiar with the locals in the Baishi Road area. of. The old men and women on this street all knew that there was a big man with a ferocious appearance but actually a good temper living nearby, and after a few cautious encounters, they were no longer wary of him. Yizhaks is a very honest person and likes to help his neighbors. He helps his employer carry liquefied gas, helps his family carry half a truckload of bricks, and he even goes over to help carry thirty or fifty bags of cement for someone who is repairing their house. This goes back and forth. He had finally blended into the southern suburbs—an epic achievement considering the bonus of his face.

Of course, occasional misunderstandings are still inevitable. People who are not familiar with Yizhaks will still call the police when they see such a big man walking towards them. Especially when he takes Elizabeth out, he can call the police out of thin air. rate increased by at least 50%. So after this kind of thing happened a few times, all the old ladies on Baishi Road knew about it. The first thing they said after seeing Yizhaks was always "Is it released again?"...

Elizabeth sat on Isaacs' shoulder and giggled heartlessly: "My dad is so majestic wherever he goes!"

Yzaks turned his head and spread his hands to Hao Ren, dumbfounded: "You really care about your reputation wherever you go."

At this time, the four of them walked to the small supermarket at the intersection. When Hao Ren looked up, he saw the fat boss sweeping up the water with a big broom on the nearby road. There was a large piece of water on the road that didn't know where it came from. The water accumulated and flooded the drainage holes on the curb. Hao Ren greeted from a distance: "Big boss - did you wash the car this early in the morning?"

"Why are you washing your car? The water pipe burst again!" The fat boss was sweating and waved his hands angrily. "Damn it, it burst three times in two days. I don't know what the pump room is doing. The water pressure has been very bad these two days. It's normal, either the water supply is cut off, or the water pressure is so high that the valve can be damaged."

A diner who was eating at the breakfast stall next to him raised his head when he heard this: "That's good of you. At least there is water now. My house has been without water for two days. Several houses around me have water, but I don't have water. Otherwise. Do I need to go out to eat?"

"The water pipe in your home is blocked, right?" Hao Ren followed suit, "It's all from the main pipe. How can other people have water and you don't?"

"I don't know what's going on. It's not winter, and the pipes won't freeze. Anyway, the water has been abnormal these two days. I can hear water rushing in the pipes when I turn on the faucet, but I won't go out... I'll look for it tomorrow. Come and take a look at my brother, he is in the water business."

At this time, a middle-aged man who was eating tofu at the table next to him suddenly raised his head and said in a low voice: "There is no problem in the pump room. My son works in the pump room."

The fat boss put down his broom and took a breath: "Then what's going on with the abnormal tap water these two days?"

"I don't know what's going on in the pump room. My boy has been working overtime in the past two days. He said there is no problem with the machines there, but the water pressure fluctuates. One time, it seemed that there was backflow or something happened to a pressurized pump. It's all burned." The middle-aged man shook his head and drank the last sip of soup. "My boy was talking nonsense. He said that there is something evil in the pump room these days..."

The owner of the breakfast stall immediately shouted: "Lao Zhang, please stop talking, the more you talk, the more mysterious it becomes!"

The other diners and the fat supermarket owner also joked a bit, complained about the abnormal tap water in the past two days and "Old Zhang"'s nagging habit, and then dispersed. However, Hao Ren stepped forward and stopped the middle-aged man who was about to pay and leave: "Brother, you just said that the pump room has been a bit evil these past two days? What kind of evil method is it?"

"It's a joke, don't take it seriously," the middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand, "My boy told me what happened in the pump room and I couldn't understand it."

Hao Ren said "Oh" and turned around thoughtfully to leave. However, when he turned around, he found that the silly cat was gone again. He quickly looked around and saw that guy squatting at the feet of the food stall owner, watching eagerly. Looking at this person - he looks so worthless and worthless.

The restaurant owner was holding a spoon and looked at a loss. He turned around and saw Hao Ren: "Is this your girlfriend? What... habits does she have?"

Hao Ren was choked and coughed repeatedly, and quickly explained: "Ahem, no, no, this is my sister...come here quickly!"

"I want to eat steamed buns," Silly Cat squatted and turned his head, "I'm hungry, give me steamed buns!"

Suddenly, the people around him looked at him differently. Hao Ren was choked with cold sweat. He could only buy two buns for Silly Mao: This guy has to eat no matter how many times a day to be full. It’s not even an hour since breakfast!

Yzaks waited until he reached a secluded place before speaking: "Do you think there is a problem with this?"

"What about the tap water?" Hao Ren hugged his arms and nodded slightly, "I think my intuition is generally quite accurate. There is indeed something fishy about this matter. If what they say is true, it is a supernatural phenomenon. Maybe it is related to aliens. activity related.”

Yzaks: "Maybe it's just a rumor among the people. It's a trivial matter, so don't worry about it."

"It's really not a big deal, but it's still idle when you're idle, and the prosecutor's job requires careful observation and keen intuition," Hao Ren shrugged, "I'll ask her when May comes back. She's in charge of water. , think of it as doing something good for the neighbors."

The cat girl held the bun and gnawed it while looking at Hao Ren and then at Yzaks, then suddenly put half of the bun on Hao Ren's mouth: "So I'll give you the bun."

Hao Ren couldn't understand the logic of this cat at all. How she transformed the information in her mind after observing the world was an unsolved mystery - how could she come up with a "so" out of nowhere?

Hao Ren went home and waited until noon. Nangong Wuyue came back from outside. He told what he had heard while walking outside today, but unexpectedly Wuyue frowned: "The water in other places is also normal? That does seem to be a problem.”
