Chapter 61 We Need to Find a Way
“My classmate Choi Ming-chi,” Xiao-zhen said, “flush his family down the drain.”
“……” Mr. Cat and Captain Ban looked at him in silence.
"He flushed his family down the drain."
“…”
Xiao Zhen was sure that he was speaking the standard common language, and his brain wave consciousness was also conveyed clearly, but his two companions had vague eyes, as if their consciousness was wandering in outer space.
"Why don't you talk?"
Mr. Cat replied: "I will not help you recycle sewage, don't even think about it."
"I don't want to either." Xiao Zhen took a breath and pointed to the incubator beside her. "But if we don't recycle Pu Pu, An Tianxin and my unpleasant classmate Wei Jingjing will remain in this state of meat for a long time."
“…”
"This damn cockroach ranch, and the medicine ordered for Popo. And you, Mr. Cat, you ordered these equipment, without Popo, who will settle the bill?"
"I told you long ago that we should put it in the pot and stew it." An Tianxin said viciously as his head floated to the surface of the water, "If we stewed it earlier, this kind of shit wouldn't have happened."
Xiao Zhen ignored An Tianxin and said, "We must find a way to recover Cui Mingzhi's family and Pu Pu's solution."
Captain Ban said: "I don't mean to discourage you, but do you know how much sewage there is underground in this city? Do you know how powerful a separator is needed to separate it? Recycling is simply unrealistic."
“So we have to find a way.”
Cui Mingzhi looked dejected at school. After all, in his mind, his family had all become silkworms. Fortunately, his family had announced that they were going to travel abroad, and now their disappearance did not arouse anyone's suspicion.
When Xiaozhen went to Class 1 to find Cui Mingzhi, he was reading a book titled "Scientific Breeding of Silkworms."
Xiaozhen sat down in front of Cui Mingzhi, "Do you really think your family has turned into silkworms?"
"That's all I can think of." Cui Mingzhi sighed and put the book down. "What do you think I should do?"
"Have you ever thought of other possibilities?"
"There is no other possibility." Cui Mingzhi shook his head. "I asked the community security guard to check the surveillance video. The three of them never left the building. Now I can only accept that the three of them have turned into silkworms."
Fine. Better than telling him he flushed his dad down the drain himself.
"Yan Zhen, do you know?" Cui Mingzhi said sadly, "The life cycle of silkworms is 2 to 3 months, which means my dad and his family can only live for more than two months at most."
"..." Xiao Zhen thought about what to say to comfort the boy, "By the way, can you see your dad turning into a moth?"
"..." Cui Mingzhi was silent for a while, then replied: "In theory, it is possible."
"Not everyone gets to see their father transform into a moth. It's the miracle of life."
"..." Cui Mingzhi shouted: "Turning into a moth means that life has come to an end! I'm going to die!"
His voice was so loud that the students around him looked over to them. A girl came over. Her name was Gu Yu, the monitor of Class 1, the best girl in the grade, and one of Liu Xingquan's strongest opponents.
Gu Yu asked, "Yan Zhen, why did you come to our class?"
"I am seriously discussing with Choi Mingzhi how to raise silkworms."
Gu Yu stared at the silkworm teaching book on Cui Mingzhi's desk for a long time, showing an expression that she had no idea what you boys were thinking, and then she said, "Cui Mingzhi, Teacher Lili is calling you, go quickly."
"Oh." Cui Mingzhi stood up and left his seat.
Before he left, Xiao Zhen said to him, "Maybe your dad and his family will be back next month, so think positively."
"I hope so." Cui Mingzhi said, "Thank you, Yan Zhen."
Xiao Zhen was thinking about how to bring Cui Mingzhi, his family and Pu Pu back.
It is obviously impossible to thoroughly analyze, extract and recycle all the water in the city's sewers.
Four days had passed. The solution of Cui Mingzhi's family and Pu Pu had been diluted countless times in the sewer system. Captain Ban helped him calculate that if Pu Pu's own reorganization ability was the only factor that gradually aggregated, at this rate, it would take Cui Mingzhi's family about 8 to 12 years to reorganize and recover.
Cui Mingzhi couldn't wait that long. He couldn't keep Wei Jingjing and An Tianxin in the room for seven or eight years. Just staring at An Tianxin's head every day was enough to make him uncomfortable.
He had to find a way.
During dinner, Xiaozhen seemed absent-minded.
"Pa!" Yan An slapped Xiao Zhen on the arm.
"Um?"
"Mosquito." Yan An raised his palm and showed the dead mosquito and a small pool of blood in his palm. This was a spotted mosquito with black and white stripes on its legs.
An Yuan cried out, "Oh my! It's autumn now, why are there still poisonous mosquitoes?" She got up to get the Fengyoujing.
Xiao Zhen reflected on himself, thinking that he was so distracted that he didn't even notice the mosquito biting his host's body. Yan An picked up a napkin to wipe the dead mosquito off his hand, but saw Xiao Zhen staring at him without blinking.
"What's wrong?"
"I have an idea!!" Xiao Zhen said to herself.
"What is the solution?"
"About saving my classmate's family," Xiao Zhen replied calmly.
Yan Zhu who was standing by spat out her rice.
Yan An looked at his son, thinking whether to ask "Why did you want to save your classmate's family" or "What method have you come up with to save your classmate's family?", only to see Xiao Zhen put down his chopsticks, announced that he had finished eating, and left the table.
An Yuan looked at Xiao Zhen's back and said to Yan An, "Is this child in his second year of middle school?"
"It seems so." Yan An smiled, "Maybe he is really carrying out a secret plan to save his classmates' families."
"Hubby." An Yuan put down the bowl, "It's enough for us to have one chuunibyou patient in our family, really."
Xiaozhen met Xiaosheng on the way to school.
He was squatting on the side of the road looking at a wall. When he passed by him, Xiao Zhen felt a strong sense of distress and irritability. He couldn't help but stop.
In fact, under Cui Mingzhi's enthusiastic introduction and flattery, Xiaozhen had just put the famous name "Xiaosheng Brother" in front of him a week ago. At present, this school celebrity was squatting on the side of the road with a troubled look on his face.
Feeling someone approaching, Xiaosheng turned his head and recognized Xiaozhen, then made an undisguised expression of disgust. If I had to describe it, this was the expression Yanzhu had when she saw the spiders she hated.
Their eyes met. According to human etiquette, it seemed wrong not to say hello. So Xiao Zhen ignored the other party's obvious disgust and said hello to him.
Brother Xiaosheng responded coldly, turned back and stared at the wall again.
Xiao Zhen sensed his troubled mood again. He asked, "What are you looking at?"
Brother Xiaosheng pointed at the wall beam and said, "There's a puppy trapped inside."
Xiaozhen took a closer look and heard the muffled barking of a puppy coming from within the wall beam. Through the gap, she could vaguely see the puppy's eyes sparkling.
“There really is a dog in there.”
"It's been trapped for a few days," Xiaosheng said. "I've reported this to the property management company, but they are not willing to take the risk of damaging the wall beams to rescue the dog."
"After all, this is a wall beam."
"Although I stuff some dog food into the gap every day, I can't keep doing this." Brother Xiaosheng frowned.
"Are you an animal protector?"
Brother Xiaosheng glared at him and said, "This has nothing to do with animal protection. We can't just watch them starve to death in there."
Xiao Zhen extended her invisible consciousness tentacles, passed through the wall and touched the puppy. Compared with intelligent creatures, it is much easier to connect with ordinary animal consciousness.
After a blurry moment, Xiaozhen and the puppy achieved a shared consciousness.
…
Darkness and light.
There was a strange sense of security in the dim little space.
Next to him, there were two soft siblings.
They have wet little noses that feel prickly when you lick them.
Outside the bright gap, there was a pair of warm eyes watching them.
It likes these eyes very much.
That's a big boy.
His breath was warm too.
His hands are very big.
It hopes to be held in his arms one day.
Next to the big boy stood another boy whom he had never seen before.
Fear.
The puppy barked tremblingly.
He is scary.
…
…
Xiao Zhen retracted his consciousness tentacles. He said, "There are three puppies inside, about two months old."
"Ah? Did you see it clearly?"
"Yeah. Plus you don't have to worry about them getting trapped in there."
"ah?"
"They are not trapped, they use it as a nest. They can go out anytime they want."
"Really?"
"There's a pipe inside, we can climb out." Seeing Xiaosheng's skeptical face, Xiaozhen said, "I know where the exit of the pipe is, follow me."
Leading Xiaosheng around to the wall, where there was a pipe opening, Xiaozhen threw the mandatory command "crawl out" into the brains of the three puppies. He then picked up Xiaosheng's dog food bag and made an enticing gesture.
After a while, three puppies crawled out.
As soon as they came out, they all gathered around Xiaosheng's legs.
Brother Xiaosheng picked up a puppy and exclaimed, "It's actually true."
"This enclosed space is a safe place for them, and you feed them dog food every day, so they regard it as a safe nest and wait for you to feed them at a fixed point every day. "
"..." Brother Xiaosheng glared at the puppy, "You mean, they deliberately hid in there and acted pitiful to get free food and drink?"
"That's fine if you want to understand it that way."
Brother Xiaosheng touched the puppy unhappily.
"Are you going to keep them?"
"I can't keep it." Xiaosheng said sullenly, "My mom and sister are allergic to fur."
"The puppy thinks you are a very warm person."
"Yan Zhen! Can you not be so cheesy?" Brother Xiao Sheng jumped up, "What are you planning to do to me now?"
"You looked so enthusiastic, I thought you wanted to adopt them."
Brother Xiaosheng scratched his head in annoyance, looked at the puppies that were wagging their tails around him, and said that he really couldn't keep them. Under the current circumstances, the three puppies were safe hiding in the wall beams, so he could only leave them there temporarily. Next, he would try to find a way to adopt the three puppies.
The matter seems to have been resolved.
Xiaozhen turned and walked towards the school.
Brother Xiaosheng asked, "Today is Sunday, why are you going to school?"
"Go save Choi Mingzhi's parents."
