Chapter 135 Send Them on a Long Journey
Fang Ziwei is back from a business trip.
Blue Cat Pension finally ended its stay at the Yan family.
As soon as she stepped into Yan's house, she shouted "Pensioner, my son, mom misses you so much..." and rushed towards Pensioner who was lying on the sofa in fear.
"It seems your son has forgotten you." An Yuan said quietly.
The pension quickly hid under the cabinet. Fang Ziwei's accelerated movement and the sound when she entered the room obviously frightened it.
"My dear son, come and heal your mother!" Fang Ziwei squatted in front of the cabinet, expressing her longing for the pension affectionately, and pulled it out. The pension meowed a few times in protest, and sniffed Fang Ziwei's hand timidly. Soon, the familiar smell brought back the memory of its former mistress. It immediately let her hold it in her arms and let her rub it.
"I have been relying on the photos and videos of my pension to survive during my business trips. It feels so good to hold it again now." Fang Ziwei sighed. Her business trip was delayed due to some things and her return date was repeatedly postponed. Now that she has received her pension, this female white-collar worker who was tortured by heavy work and had no fun in life has regained hope in life.
"Congratulations on your mother-son reunion." said Li Xinyi as she walked in.
"The pension actually still remembers you." An Yuan stared at Fang Ziwei and the pension and said, "I thought cats were all heartless."
"You are jealous."
An Yuan said firmly: "Cats are cute but heartless. Dogs are the best."
"Please say the same to your Mr. Cat!"
"To be honest, my cat never lets me touch it. Tell me, why do I keep a cat?" An Yuan said indignantly, "Sometimes I feel like what I keep at home is not a pet, but an ancestor."
"Listen to your tone, why do you still keep a cat?"
"Because that's what Xiaozhen brought back."
Li Xinyi smiled and said, "An Yuan, since you are a dog lover, why don't you get a dog?"
An Yuan turned her head and stared at her. She whispered, "I will never keep a dog again."
"Ah." Fang Ziwei said, "It's because of the dog An Yuan raised before. Once you invest too much emotion, it will be particularly sad to say goodbye."
"Well, when Justice left, I cried for days."
"Wait, what's your dog's name?" Li Xinyi asked.
"Yes, that's the name, Zhengyi." Fang Ziwei nodded. "Tell me, how did you and your husband come up with the idea of giving your dog this weird, childish name?"
"I think justice sounds nice." An Yuan said seriously.
“It’s really weird!”
Li Xinyi agreed: "It sounds like a name for Xiaozhen at this age."
"The dog Zhengyi looks very righteous. He is a very good dog." An Yuan said softly, "When he was dying, I was holding him in my arms. I thought at that time that there would never be another dog as good as him."
Fang Ziwei said: "But I remember Zhengyi was lost, and you looked for him for a long time but couldn't find him, so you gave up."
"That's not right. I was clearly beside Justice when he died."
"No, no, no, I remember clearly that your dog was lost."
An Yuan and Fang Ziwei looked at each other for a few seconds, then turned their gazes to Li Xinyi.
Li Xinyi spread her hands and said, "I'm sorry, An Yuan's dog, I really don't remember how I got away."
"What use is there for you!"
An Yuan sighed and said, "Fang Ziwei, you are a noble person who forgets things easily."
"I do remember that Justice is missing!"
"You made me miss Zhengyi again." An Yuan stood up, opened the drawer, and took out her photo album. "Look, these are the photos we took with Zhengyi in the past. He is really a smart and sensible dog."
"Well, just an ordinary local dog with no pedigree at all." Li Xinyi said sarcastically.
"A good dog doesn't depend on his origin!"
"Looking at old photos makes me feel really old."
Fang Ziwei and Li Xinyi followed An Yuan to appreciate the old photos. On this sunny afternoon, the three girlfriends laughed and commented on the records of the past. After turning a few pages, Fang Ziwei suddenly pointed to one of the photos and said, "This is your driver's wife Luo Qingxi." In the photo, Luo Qingxi and An Yuan smiled side by side, and in front of them were Xiaozhen and Liu Xingquan playing. This photo was captured very well, and the expressions of both the two children and the adults were very lively.
"Yeah, that's right."
"Wow, what a beauty."
"It's really strange." Fang Ziwei frowned and said, "Is she really from another place?"
An Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I talked to Luo Qingxi. She came here only after Lao Liu got his job."
"Why do I always feel like she is my classmate? Do you know? I can even tell you some details about our time together in middle school."
"Luo Qingxi never went to school in this city. You must have remembered it wrongly." An Yuan said, "Or maybe you had a classmate who looked very much like ."
"No, this feels so real... like I've known her for a long time."
"Look, you remembered everything about your dog and Luo Qingxi wrong. Are you sure it's not because you're too busy at work and have become mentally weak?" An Yuan said with a smile.
"I know, it's called déjà vu." Li Xinyi adjusted her glasses and said, "Have you ever had this experience? You have never been to a place, nor have you ever experienced something, but at a certain moment you suddenly have a sense of déjà vu. This is called déjà vu, also known as the hippocampus effect."
An Yuan nodded: "If you say so, I did have it."
"This has a scientific basis. Generally speaking, it is possible that you have received too much information without paying attention to the source of the information, and a large amount of unconscious memories have accumulated in your brain. Under certain similar conditions, unconscious memories will emerge, which will give you a sense of déjà vu. Modern psychologists believe that this is a subconscious activity. The human brain will simulate various scenarios based on the information you already have. When you encounter a very similar situation in reality, you will think of the scenarios that your brain has simulated before, which is also one of the sources of déjà vu. In essence, it is your brain's subconscious that is at work."
Fang Ziwei said: "You mean I'm delusional?"
"Well, it's because your brain is too associative. This often happens to people who are too mentally exhausted."
"Ah...Is it because I'm too busy with work?"
"Yes." An Yuan said softly, "Now that you are back, you should have a good rest."
Fang Ziwei stroked the soft fur of the pension and nodded.
Xiao Zhen is checking her recent purchases.
Because the juice was hot, he made a lot of money. With the abundant funds, Xiaozhen happily went to buy some props that he had always wanted.
He opened the interstellar package he had just received and checked his goods one by one.
"What is this?" Xiao Zhen opened a box, inside of which was a metal instrument that looked like a small radio.
"What is this?" Captain Ban asked, "Isn't this what you bought?"
"I haven't bought this." Xiao Zhen shook her head and looked through the package description. "Oh, because my purchase points reached the event standard, this is a gift from the merchant."
"Freebies? What's the use of this?"
"Let me take a look." Xiao Zhen opened the instruction manual. "Send them on a long journey? What is this? Oh, it turns out to be a repeller."
"Repellent?"
"Well, the repellent device under the banner of environmental protection is mainly used for insects and wild animals. The label is harmless repellent." Xiaozhen said, "You can define the object to be 'sent on a long journey' yourself. It will automatically play repellent sound waves, which is very convenient. It is a popular product in Star Home nowadays."
"That sounds good. Didn't your mother and Aunt Li always suspect that there were cockroaches and bugs in the house?"
"Yes, now we don't have to hire a pest control company."
A filial son naturally wants to relieve his mother's worries. Xiao Zhen opened the setting panel and entered the targets to be driven away one by one, "local native cockroaches, local silverfish, local centipedes, centipedes..." He entered all the local pests that he could think of that were invading the villa, and then pressed the play button.
The repeller flashed a red light, played sound waves that were inaudible to the naked ear, and began to work.
In the living room, the three best friends were still chatting, unaware that something tragic would soon happen that would make them scream like ghosts and cause the roof to collapse.
The first person to discover it was Fang Ziwei.
At this time, An Yuan and Li Xinyi were sitting on the sofa chatting and watching a drama. Fang Ziwei was holding her pension and was about to take the teacup on the coffee table. Then she saw a strange scene.
A group of black things formed a straight line and moved forward in an orderly manner.
She squinted and looked.
It's a cockroach.
Fang Ziwei rubbed her eyes.
These tan shells have shiny things on them, and they are lined up neatly and move forward in an orderly manner.
Fang Ziwei held the teacup in her hand for about five seconds, then turned to Li Xinyi and An Yuan and said, "What's that over there?"
"Hmm?" Li Xinyi and An Yuan followed Fang Ziwei's gaze.
Time seemed to stand still. The room fell into a deathly silence.
This is a normal physiological reaction to reject what is in front of you.
Then the three women screamed in unison.
“Aaaaaaah!”
“Why are there cockroaches?!?”
An Yuan picked up her slippers. She was not a squeamish person, and one cockroach was not enough to make her scream. But more than twenty of them, neatly lined up on the smooth floor, could really break her mental defenses and make her scream uncontrollably.
Mrs. Li rushed over in time, and she was also shocked by the scene in front of her. "This, this is too exaggerated."
Marching in formation for the military parade were not only the spirited cockroaches, but also the centipedes and silverfish worms, followed closely by the centipedes, and finally three snakes to support the formation. They advanced in an orderly manner and in neat formation.
Aunt Li originally wanted to show off her skills in front of An Yuan, but after seeing the neat formation of centipedes and three snakes, she couldn't help but tremble with fear.
The four women screamed continuously. Xiao Zhen walked out of the room, and when he leaned out of the stairs, he saw this shocking parade.
He returned to the room.
All right.
When it comes to driving away these harmful insects, the route is a big problem.
It would be unwise to stop the broadcast now as it would only cause a mass exodus of pests from the living room.
He could change his route.
It would probably be better to keep this parade of pests away from the living room.
Xiaozhen immediately changed her route.
Fang Ziwei screamed from downstairs: "Why are they coming back again!!!"
