Nangong May frowned: "The water in other places is not normal?
That seems to be a problem. ”Hao Ren didn't understand what was going on: "Huh?
What did you find?
”"Two or three days ago, there are always people near our house who say that the tap water is not normal, and there have even been three water pipes in a family, one of which has stopped water and the other two have water, and the old Li family on the street also said that when their family was washing vegetables, they saw that the water that flowed out of the water pipe to half of it was taken back at once, which scared their old lady a lot," Nangong May sat on the sofa while playing with Doudou while talking about what she had heard outside in the past two days, she was a well-behaved and pleasant girl, After so many years of wandering life, she has a high affinity, and many people on this street are already familiar with her, "But not every household has problems, and there are occasional pumping stations in the suburbs, so it has not been spread too mysterious." ”Hao Ren didn't expect that there were so many anomalies in this matter, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong: "Our water is fine." ”"Yes, because I forcibly pumped water," the Siren girl waved her hand to create a small water balloon in mid-air, and Doudou immediately jumped in happily and swam in, "Our house has been out of water for two days, and I have been forcibly supplying water for the past two days." ”Hao Ren touched his chin: "It seems to be a supernatural phenomenon, who will go to the pumping station with me to have a look?"
”Lily had just returned from outside, and was lying on the couch bored reading an ad for dog biscuits: "Boring......
I'm already a man who saves the world, so why bother with it......
I'm going to watch TV. ”"I'll go with the landlord," Vivien wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen, looking at Lily while undressing her apron, "You really have so little life experience, as an outlier, don't you know how to be vigilant against all the supernatural phenomena around your territory, even if you are not a witcher, you may be other aliens, and canines, the territorial consciousness is so light......
"Vivian" territorial consciousness" The four words "Vivian" territorial consciousness "came out of Lily's sudden reaction, and suddenly jumped from the sofa to the ground: "I'll follow!"
I didn't realize that it had something to do with the territory!
”Hao Ren's mouth didn't open the door, and his brain jumped out as soon as he twitched: "If you haven't peed, you can't remember that it's your own territory, right?"
”Of course, he was slapped by Lily on the spot, and within a few minutes his arm was bitten all with tooth marks - after many attempts, the dog girl finally found the middle amount that could leave tooth marks without triggering the rigid shield.Hao Ren escaped from Lily's dog mouth in a disgraced manner, and no one around came up to help, even Vivian shook her head in tears and laughter: "Landlord, can you say this to a girl casually......
Neither can females. ”Nangong May stepped forward and patted Hao Ren on the shoulder: "The landlord listens to my advice, you can live a maximum of two episodes in the TV series with this mouth, change it." ”Hao Ren: "......"
Lily grinned and showed Hao Ren for a long time before snorting and licking the tooth marks that she had bitten out, indicating that this little punishment was over, and Hao Ren looked around while pushing away the stupid cat that kept coming over to make trouble: "So who else is going to the pumping station with me?"
”Nangong May dragged her brother up: "I'll go on a trip with my brother, I'm familiar with water, and my brother has at least a lot of experience in investigation." ”The group left their homes to go to the only pumping station in the southern suburbs, which is still in the north of the city, but it is not too far from where everyone lives, and it is only a ten-minute drive away.Please don't forget that Hao Ren also has a car now.Speaking of water pumping stations, Hao Ren is also familiar with it: because the southern suburbs are far away from the city, all kinds of facilities are relatively backward, and the pressure in the water supply network has become a big problem.Hao Ren still remembers that when he was in middle school, he liked to sneak up on the pumping station to play, lie on the window of the big red brick and cement machine room and watch the water pump rumble inside, and then fight with a few dogs guarding the yard.It was really a period of green years when white clothes came and went like snow, and the young man who was destined to embark on an uneven road in the future was sharpened by the vicious dog to erect his ambition - his greatest wish back then was to win the dog in the yard once......
Now that the watchdog in the former compound has died of old age, there is only one left, and he doesn't have to look forward to this wish.The pumping station is surrounded by a brick wall, and the large iron door is half-open and half-closed, and the rumbling sound of the machine room inside can be occasionally heard from the outside.Hao Ren parked in the open space outside the courtyard, and as soon as he led the people to the door, he heard a dog barking from the courtyard, and several black-backed people with chains rushed out of the spurs and vigorously pulled their bodies to demonstrate against the intruders, which was the same as their predecessors.Hao Ren smiled and scolded when he saw this situation: "It's really a dog, don't you fathers dare to call me so good!"
”As soon as Lily heard this, she snorted at the leader's black back a few times, and then turned her head to dismantle Hao Ren's platform: "They said that you were chased all over the yard by their uncles back then, and you once ran to the old jujube tree in the courtyard and didn't come down for half a day. ”Hao Ren: "......
Damn, I forgot that there is a guy here who understands foreign languages!
”At this time, an imposing old black dog walked over from the yard, and after seeing Hao Ren, he symbolically snorted a few times, and seemed to remember the bear child who always lay on the courtyard wall and threw stones into the courtyard ten years ago.Hao Ren sighed with emotion, and saw that someone finally heard the movement coming out of the pump room, it was a young man with a flat head, who should be in charge of the machine in the pump room."
Which are you looking for?"
The young man asked aggressively, then turned his head and scolded the dogs, "Go back, go back!"
What nonsense!
”"I'm from a nearby street, why haven't I been in the water normally in the past two days?"
Hao Ren stepped forward with a smile and asked.People in the city may not be accustomed to this kind of living habits in the remote suburbs, but the people in the southern suburbs are always accustomed to asking the "unit" directly if they have problems.When the water is cut off, look for the pumping station, if the heating is not hot, find the boiler room, and go directly to the substation to ask the master about the situation when the power goes out.This is the unique "community ecology" of a backward suburb with no property and various "sub-bureau assignments".Probably in the past two days, someone has always come to inquire about this matter, and the young man's face is a little impatient and a little unruly: "The water pressure over there is not normal, and I can't help it."
The boss has already gone to call for an expert, so you can go home and wait. ”Hao Ren chatted with the young man at the pumping station, and in the middle, Nangong May pretended to be curious and walked a few steps into the courtyard, listening intently to the sounds inside.Seeing this, the young man hurriedly reminded: "Don't go into the yard, there are dogs inside, and the chain can be long." ”He didn't notice that after Lily also glanced at the courtyard with her head tilted, the fierce black backs had already bowed down as respectfully as they had seen their ancestors.At this time, there was a sudden creaking sound from the machine room in the courtyard, and then someone faintly shouted hello, and the young man hurriedly turned around and ran: "There is something wrong with the engine again, I'll go back and watch, you go home and wait." ”After the young man ran away, Hao Ren looked at Nangong May: "How is it?"
What's the matter?
”"The water isn't normal," the Siren girl pointed to the corner of the courtyard wall, "and the situation here is clearly supernatural. ”Hao Ren looked in the direction of Nangong May's finger, and was shocked to find that there was a trickle of water flowing on the wet half-section of the cement wall, and unbelievably, this trickle was moving up the wall!
Lily snorted, "I feel like there's something wrong with the humidity here......
Some places are very dry, others are just as wet as in front of the waterfall.There seems to be a lot of moisture in the air. ”"Is it your kindred?"
Hao Ren suddenly thought of the kraken's ability to control water, and he turned his head to look at May, "Can the kraken sense the same clan?"
”"Yes, but it has to be close enough, and since humans have added bleach to tap water, this sensing talent has not worked very well in residential areas, so I can only try it as much as I can."
Nangong May frowned, sensing the direction of the abnormal flow of water elements in the air, and found that all the abnormal water vapor was concentrating towards a certain place.She looked up, it was a water tower a hundred meters away.Others couldn't see the abnormality of the water tower, but in Nangong May's eyes, the water tower was surrounded by thin threads, and countless water molecules that had broken away from the laws of nature were floating around there.It seems that the young man at the pumping station just said that the most abnormal place for water pressure is in the water tower.
