The Scavengers

The child hugged Xiao Mo's neck and said softly.

Seeing the children speak, and seeing the adults and children covered in sweat, the people who were pushed were embarrassed to hold Xiao Mo to continue scolding.

"Okay, I'll let you. I'll see if I can let you in front."

As the man said, he stepped aside, and there were more people in front of him.

However, after walking less than 20 meters, Xiao Mo said no less than a hundred "I'm sorry". No one cares to wipe it off.

"Is there no other way?" Xiao Mo asked in a low voice.

"There is a gap in five steps towards ten o'clock, ah, it's gone. Stop and walk towards one o'clock. There are few people there, so just make a detour."

"Why do you have to go to the park?" If he remembered correctly, their location was closer to the main road.

"I think you can also see that the swarms of rats are concentrating here. I don't know what their exact target is, but I know there must be something attracting them here. It's not those steel medical vehicles, or the firefighters who just came. car, they should be attracted to someone special, and that person is in the crowd.”

Xiao Mo wiped the sweat on his shoulders with his head tilted. He wanted to hold the child with one hand and push it away with the other to prevent others from bumping into them. Is it full of people crying and looking for their sons and daughters?And some were trampled on...

"What I'm asking is why you went to the park. Didn't you notice that those cats and dogs also started staring at us?" Xiao Mo found that once the child didn't want to answer his question, he would gossip about him.

The alluring smell is getting stronger and stronger, and it seems that you can smell it everywhere you go.At the same time, Xiao Mo's heart beat faster and faster.

Xue Lihong was about to answer him, when she raised her eyes and saw a large number of rats rushing towards the crowd in the square.

"The swarm of rats is starting to attack! Run!"

run?Where are you going?The crowd started to be chaotic from the outside, and the rat repellent volunteers could no longer resist the attack of the rat swarm, and without proper and timely organization, it quickly became a mess.

The fire engine pulled the faucet and turned on the high-pressure water cannon to attack the rats, but one wave dispersed and another wave followed, and there were too few faucets to care about one side and not the other.

At this time, those outside want to go in, and those inside want to escape.Xiao Mo was knocked back and forth by the panicked crowd.

"Hmm!" The child was hit on the back by someone's elbow, and the pain caused the little face to wrinkle into a bun.

"The cats and dogs started to move too. Let's run to the park, those mice are afraid of cats!"

Xiao Mo stared at the tree shadow not far away and moved forward with difficulty.It usually takes only two or three minutes to run the distance, but now even if it takes ten times the time, it may not be able to reach it.

"A fire truck is out of water."

"what?!"

"Everyone, don't panic, don't make a mess! These rats are not scary! If you work together, you can definitely drive them away! Calm down! Please stay calm! All men stand in front, take off their shoes and beat them without weapons!" The young policeman grabbed Shouting hoarsely through the electric horn.

But not many people listened to his command, and everyone was in a mess.

Rats have not hurt many people, and many people have fallen under the "cannibalism".

There were screams and curses everywhere.

Xue Lihong's eyes were sharp, and she saw hundreds of rats rushing towards the same person. The person screamed and fell to the ground. Apart from foaming at the mouth from fright, and a large number of fine wounds on the face and bare limbs, there were no obvious wounds elsewhere.But the man didn't get up, he seemed to have been frightened, shrunk to the ground, trembling and screaming.

Xue Lihong wanted to look more carefully, but soon the crowd running around blocked his sight.

"Old Xiao, pay attention, those rats didn't hurt anyone, their purpose seems to be something that some people are carrying."

Xiao Mo couldn't care less about observing at this time, he just spent 12 energy on protecting the child and himself from being bumped into.

Xue Lihong had no choice but to keep a close eye on the direction of the rats' movement, and soon he was sure that the targets of the rats' attacks were not random, but selective.

It's just that most people haven't discovered this yet, as long as they see mice jumping over, they will scream in fright.

At the same time, Ji Xihe, chief of the fire brigade of the sixth district in the south of the city, stared wide-eyed, let the sweat drip down, and squatted in the car to quickly replace the water pipe connection.

"How is it? Has it been repaired? Can it be used?" The policeman Lao Liu asked his son-in-law anxiously.A water gun won't stop those rats at all.

"It's changed!" Ji Xihe jumped out of the car, turned to another firefighter and yelled, "Can it be used?"

The firefighter turned on the water hydrant, turned it on and off several times without a drop of water coming out, "Captain, no!"

Ji Xihe roared angrily, took off his helmet and threw it on the ground.

Seeing this situation, another firefighter immediately picked up the helmet and forced it to him, "Captain, put it on."

Ji Xihe took a deep breath, said "thank you" to the team members, wiped his face, took the helmet and put it on again, "Has the person who checked the fire hydrant returned?"

"not yet."

"My lord, go and see if it's the water pump!"

"Yes!" A firefighter quickly returned to the car and opened the water pump door to start checking again.

"Can you fix it yourself? Can you contact a repairman?" Seeing his son-in-law flushed with heat, Lao Liu felt distressed and upset. His daughter, who is a teacher in a kindergarten, still doesn't know what's going on. The man in the family is now trapped. Here, no one can pick her up.Although there is already a policeman driving to help the kindergarten children, what is the use of being alone?

"They're all in the team fixing other broken vehicles, or we wouldn't have just had two pump trucks. Damn! How come there are so many of these goddamn rats? And when did they start eating metal?"

"Xiao Ji, don't worry, I'll come to the broadcast to ask the people in the square to see if there is anyone who knows how to repair cars."

"It's useless to know how to repair a car. Maybe the water pump was gnawed by a mouse."

"Captain, the fire hydrant is broken!" shouted the fireman who was going to check the fire hydrant.

"Put the water pipe in the river and pump the river water directly!" Ji Xihe stood up abruptly and ordered.

3 minute later.

"Captain, there is also a problem with the water pump, it can't pump water!"

"Hold!"

==================================

end of banana

to be continued

It was pouring rain in the sky, it was clearly seven o'clock in the morning, but the sky was gloomy like seven o'clock in the evening.

Xiao Mo felt that this rainy day was especially suitable for his current mood, very gloomy, decadent, dark, and... at a loss.

Four days have passed since I escaped from Xinxinjiayuan Residential Plaza that day.

For four days, he stayed with his brother-in-law and didn't dare to go home.In fact, the situation in the city is not much better than outside the city, but anyway, the military and police are concentrated, and all kinds of large-scale rat repellents and insect traps are thrown around the city in large quantities, and God is willing to help , which temporarily suppressed the abnormal commotion of rats, other animals and insects.

But it wasn't for this reason that he stayed here and didn't go back, but... He was afraid that those firefighters would dismantle the water pump and find something strange, and then find him.

Because as long as someone who has seen the inside of the water pump, even if he doesn't know anything about water pumps, he will understand that it can only be replaced and cannot be repaired.

Xiao Mo couldn't remember exactly how many people saw the internal conditions of that water pump at that time, but he clearly remembered that he also thought that the water pump was absolutely beyond repair. The structure diagram of the damaged water pump, and then he subconsciously began to make up for the missing and damaged parts of the water pump.

He swore he was just thinking about it at the time, but he never imagined that right in front of his eyes, he saw with his own eyes the inside of the water pump valve that had been pitted and melted by white worms, and it resumed bit by bit like rewinding It looks like new!

God knows that he was completely stupid at that time!I can't remember how he got out afterwards, it was all up to the child to guide him along the way.

Xiaohong...he should have seen it, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't question himself afterwards. He didn't know what he was doing in Le Duo's room these days.

"Second brother, Xiaohong told us not to stay at home, let us quickly pack up our things and go to an open place in the suburbs to stay for a few days." Deng Anjie sat down next to Xiao Mo with a worried face.

Xiao Mo came back to his senses, stood up from the steps in front of the store, uh... squatting for a long time, his legs were numb.

"Sister-in-law, why do you believe his words so much? Do you believe what he says?"

"Children have very strong intuition." Deng Anjie said seriously.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you?"

"What isn't it? It's not a superstition, it's based on science!"

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what you say. What about the kid? It's past seven o'clock and he hasn't come out for breakfast. And what about Xiao Leduo?" Xiao Mo rubbed his thighs, raised his legs and planned to find his cheap son.He was too confused a few days ago, and he forgot to tell him. I hope this kid didn't show off to others and sell his old man.

"Le Duo has gone to school. Their school invited firefighters to do disaster prevention and disaster training. The main purpose is to train the children not to be afraid of mice and insects, and how to protect themselves. Xiaohong is in the kitchen, and he is giving instructions to your brother. They make shelf-stable foods."

"Yo, that kid still understands this?"

"Don't look at him as a young man, he knows a lot. He said his grandmother taught him. I said the second child, what's the matter with the child's mother and you?"

"Sister-in-law, his mother really has nothing to do with me!"

"You don't lie to me, you don't even want to raise cats and dogs. If it doesn't matter, you will adopt him?" Deng Anjie gave him a supercilious look.

Xiao Mo drew a circle in the air weakly with his hand, "Okay, it does matter."

"I'll just say it! Did you meet his mother abroad? No wonder you haven't had a girlfriend all this time, isn't your old relationship unforgettable?"

"Sister-in-law, I'll help in the kitchen, and I'll trouble you to call the old man down for dinner. I'm leaving."

"Stop! Don't you see that you are in your early thirties, and you plan to live like this for the rest of your life? Even if you have a son now, but a son is different from a wife. Can you expect him to serve you by your bed when you are old? Will your son live with you forever?"

"Sister-in-law, this is really not the time to talk about this."

"Then you have to wait until... Hey!" Deng Anjie saw Xiao Mo disappearing before finishing his sentence, and laughed and cursed angrily: "Stinky boy! Everyone is not worried."

When Xiao Mo ran to the kitchen, his elder brother and his younger brother were packing all kinds of food.The kitchen workers, chefs and waiters left and went home after the situation in the city stabilized slightly two days ago, and now they are the only family in the store.

Seeing Xiao Mo, Xue Lihong took the initiative to grab his wrist without waiting for him to speak, and said to him: "It happens that I have something to ask you, come here."

Probably the child's tone was too un-childlike, Brother Xiao Mo glanced at the child strangely.

Xiao Da laughed, "Second brother, have you finally found someone to take care of you?"

"Get out!" Xiao Mo kicked the third child, then grabbed the child and led him out of the kitchen.

The two found a small private room and hid in it.

"Son, what did you see that day?"

"Old Xiao, there is something I want to discuss with you."

The two said while closing the door.

"Call Dad!" Xiao Mo sullenly.

"I asked you to raise me for a while, but I didn't say I would be your son." Xue Lihong said calmly.

"Then why should I support you?"

"I can work for you."

"Ha!" Xiao Mo laughed, pinched the child's cheek, "Then sue me for child labor? What can you do for me?"

"I can do a lot of things, and you will know later." The child pulled Xiao Mo's hand, "You don't want to be cheap and act like a good boy, so many people are vying to raise me, if it's not because you are honest... "

"Should I thank you?"

"I'll give you the chance to thank me now."

Xiao Mo began to seriously consider his sister-in-law's suggestion, maybe it would be better to have a wife?At least not so angry with him?

"Hey, let's discuss it. You help me grow up, and I will protect you for three years."

Xiao Mo was angry and funny, this kid!Still don't believe he's going to raise him?She even negotiated conditions with him seriously, and protected him for three years...why not 30 years?

Papa Xiao felt bad.Although he didn't expect this kid to provide for him in the old age, everyone loves to hear good words, so wouldn't this kid pretend to be filial to make him happy?

Xue Lihong noticed that Xiao Mo's face had become unsightly, she hesitated for a moment and changed her words: "Then five years?"

Xiao Mo continued to remain silent.

"Ten years! This is my bottom line. I have very important things to do. I can't... What's your expression? Do you still expect me to take care of you?" Xue Lihong's eyes widened in surprise.

Xiao Mo opened the door of the private room and went out: He doesn't want this son anymore!

"Old Xiao, wait!" Seeing that Xiao Mo was about to leave, Xue Lihong became anxious.He waited to grow up, I don't know how many years, now that he finally sees hope, why is he willing to let it go like this?

"If you dare to take another step, I will tell others your secret!"

Xiao Mo turned around, "What did you say? Say it again." On the contrary, you kid, how dare you threaten your father!

"I don't want to threaten you with this matter, but growing up is too important to me. As long as you can help me grow up, I can... protect you until the day you die, I swear." Xue Li Hong said solemnly.

It's a pity that Xiao Mo didn't see the seriousness of the child. He was so angry that he laughed instead: "Do you think I won't raise you until you die? I'm different from you. I, Xiao Mo, keep my word. If I say that I will raise you well to an adult, I will definitely do what I say! You don’t have to test me anymore, I never raised you for you to repay!”

"I think...you may have misunderstood something."

"Misunderstanding? What did I misunderstand you?" Xiao Mo rubbed his forehead, knelt down helplessly, grabbed his hand, looked into the child's eyes and said, "I know that you may be wary of adults because of the past. and distrust, but please believe me, although I am not your biological father, but since I said to raise you, I will love you as my own child. I will not let anyone bully you, and I will not let you suffer from the cold Hungry, I won't make you homeless again, won't let you get a good education, won't limit your development, I will...I will love you with my heart."

Which early childhood psychology textbook says that talking to children must be nasty?Xiao Mo felt that he had never said such emotional words in his whole life, and now he said all of them to a little guy.

Xue Lihong... was sluggish, a little unsuited to a man's emotional performance.

"I love you, trust me." Xiao Mo hugged the child's head, and kissed the child's face "baji".

"You love me?" Xue Lihong raised her small hand to wipe her face, her expression was very strange.

"Of course! Well, maybe it's not very love now, but the relationship is cultivated. We already have a good foundation, and we will definitely develop a deeper relationship in the future."

"You really think so?"

"I am sure."

"I... need to think about it."

Xiao Mo wanted to pinch the child very much, but this kind of thing still needs to be considered?Shouldn't you immediately pounce on him and call Dad and cry?

Xue Lihong looked at Xiao Mo seriously, her eyes seemed to have clairvoyant eyes, she seemed to see Xiao Mo's internal organs clearly.

"Although you're not in my mind... well, maybe we can try."

try what?The child didn't explain, Xiao Mo thought that the two had misunderstood so beautifully.As for what kind of "deep relationship" this relationship will develop under this misunderstanding, even God doesn't know now.

After the relationship was over, the two began to talk about business.

"Did you see it that day?"

"Ah."

"This is our father and son's secret, don't tell others. Come on, hanging on the hook for 100 years is not allowed to change."

"The oath is wrong."

"That's not the point. What are you doing hiding in Leduo's room these days?"

"Check something."

"Oh? What conclusion did you draw?"

"We should go somewhere that's empty, where there's less metal."

"The country did not notify everyone to evacuate..."

"Maybe people are evacuating, but you don't know. If I were the manager of the country, I would only evacuate part of it first."

"I think the city is much safer now."

"The rain will stop, and they will come again. And... I'm not worried about the rats, but the little white bugs you found in the pump the other day."

"what is that?"

"A kind of polyps similar to coral polyps. Their digestive juices can dissolve metals. At the same time, they also feed on metals. When they die, their bodies will be transformed into another alloy substance."

"They have a strong digestion ability?"

"Very strong. If this kind of bug spreads all over the world, then..."

"Maybe it's not that bad."

"Maybe." The child saw that the man was seriously considering moving to the suburbs, so he changed the subject, "Have you tested your abilities these days?"

"Well, I tried a few times."

"how?"

"Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't." Xiao Mo finally found a way to get to Kushui.It feels good to share the secret with someone, even though the other person is a little smaller, "Whether it works or not, I will feel extremely hungry every time I try it."

"That's the consequence of a massive loss of energy."

"Son, I'm not afraid of your laughter. I'm a little afraid of your father."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xiao Mo touched the child's head with a smile, and picked the child up, "Let's go to have breakfast. By the way, discuss with everyone where to live temporarily. Maybe we need to go to your aunt and my sister-in-law's hometown."

"Wait a minute!" The child grabbed his hair and said, "I'm not a child. Come on, be serious, don't laugh, what I said is true. To put it in a way you can understand, I have a disease, This disease prevents me from growing up normally, in fact, I should be an adult now."

Looking at the child's expression, Xiao Mo slowly closed his grinning mouth. Could it be that what the child said was true?Is he really not a real kid?

Involuntarily, the figure of the child who grew up that night emerged in the man's mind.

"I used to suspect that you have the ability to heal, but now... I think you should have a similar ability to repair and restore. As for what can be repaired, we still need a lot of testing and experiments."

"You said I have the ability to repair?" Xiao Mo had vaguely guessed it before, but now that he was affirmed, he began to doubt it.

If his ability is really repaired, then the youth he saw that day is the real child?

"Maybe it's restoration. But whether it's restoration or restoration, if you use this ability well, it's quite heaven-defying. You have to be careful!"

Xiao Mo was terrified.

"And what are the boundaries, limitations, and harms of your ability? We don't know yet, so before you find out these disadvantages, you'd better use this ability as little as possible."

"Ah."

"You can experiment with me."

"what?"

"You succeeded once last time, but it didn't last long. This time, I hope you can repair or restore me in my waking state. Let us see what your ability can do. degree."

"Are you really an adult?" Xiao Mo began to feel alienated, looking at the tender child in his arms in various ways.Uh, if he puts him down now, will it hurt his "young" heart?

"Hey! What are you father and son talking about, and you haven't come out yet? The family is waiting for you to have breakfast." Xiao Da opened the door of the private room without knocking, and shouted at the two people, one big and one small. road.

Xiao Mo took the opportunity to put the child down, pushed the back of his head and walked towards the door, and said to his brother as he walked: "Why are you in a hurry, this is coming soon. For such a big person, don't be frizzy all day long. "

In the morning, the whole family had a simple breakfast. Xiao's family had several generations of petty citizens, and there was no rule of not talking about meals. At the dinner table, they discussed the matter of temporarily moving out of the city.

The Xiao family was bothered by the endless pests and rats, the restaurant seemed to be out of business for a while, Xiao Da's company also entered an unpaid vacation with an unknown end, and Le Duo had also entered the summer vacation. The last family He simply decided to live in Deng Anjie's hometown for a while, firstly to avoid disaster, and secondly to treat it as a vacation.

The Deng family still has about [-] acres of land in the suburban county. The family has a two-entry green brick and tiled house handed down from their ancestors, and there is an old well in the yard that can produce water.Although the house is old, because of the solid materials and solid construction, the old couple of Deng's family still live in it until now. Sometimes relatives from the family can't live in, so they will live in the old house.

Xiao's father was a little worried whether his in-laws would be disgusted and annoyed, after all, it would probably take a month or two to live here.

Deng Anjie gave a "tsk" and said she was fine, even if she lived for a year or two.

Father Xiao didn't really want to go, but seeing that his children agreed, he couldn't say no.

Later, Xiao Wen, the boss, mentioned that the van used to load goods at home was damaged by mice and insects and could not start.And even if it is good, one car is not enough for the whole family.

Xiao Mo said that he was in charge of the vehicle, including repairs.

The Xiao family was not surprised when they heard that Xiao Mo took over the car repairer. In the Xiao family, Xiao Mo was an all-around repairman, and even the Deng family often asked him for help.

Xue Lihong didn't say much during this meal, but just kept eating hard, he always ate a lot, after the Xiao family was surprised for the first time, they got used to it afterwards.

Deng Anjie was born with a lot of motherhood, and she couldn't help but want to take care of one or two when she saw everyone. Although Xue Lihong made her sense of existence very low for some reason, Deng Anjie saw him as a child, and Aiwu and Wu , she cared a little more for him, and kept serving him food at the dinner table.

Xuelihong will not refuse anyone who comes, and eat as much as you want.

Deng Anjie became more and more delighted when she saw it - she really thought that this child was the biological son of the second child Xiao Mo: Look, he even looks like eating!

After the meal, the family dispersed to do things according to the agreement.

Xiao Wen, his wife and Xiao Da were responsible for packing the family's rations and daily necessities for at least two months.

Papa Xiao only needs to bring his own things with him.

Xiao Mo took Xue Lihong to go home, firstly to pack some things, and secondly because of the car at home.While metallic objects attract animals and insects, the family can't get anywhere without a vehicle.

==========

Xiao Mo rode the electric bicycle that could be started at home, and took Xue Lihong straight to Shannan Jiayuan.

Along the way, I saw someone being chased by mice, and even if someone walked into the group of mice, no mice paid attention to him.

What is the difference between these people?

While thinking, Xiao Mo raised the speed of the electric car to the highest speed, threw off groups of metal-chasing rats, and rushed all the way to Shannan Jiayuan without any danger.

Fortunately, Shannan Jiayuan has not been destroyed much, and many passers-by can still be seen walking on the commercial street near the community.

Xiao Mo greeted the acquaintances one by one.

"Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for a few days. I thought something happened to you. So you went to the city?" A young man waved at Xiao Mo.

"Yeah, I was worried about my family, so I found a way to go to the city." Xiao Mo recognized the young man as barber No. [-] in the barber shop, but he didn't know the exact name.

"How is the city?"

"It's about the same as here."

"Oh... Are the trains and coaches open?"

"It is said that not yet."

Barber No. [-] was sad, and murmured: "I want to go home, but now I can't go anywhere."

"It will be opened sooner or later, don't worry too much." Xiao Mo comforted him with duplicity.

Several barbers and assistants in the barber shop were cleaning inside. No customers came to the door, and they couldn’t go back home. The boss didn’t want to pay his wages in vain, so he asked a few people to clean his house and shop several times.

The assistant Xiao Zhang who was cleaning the glass saw Xiao Mo and immediately chased him out of the store, but at this time Xiao Mo had already taken the child into Shannan Jiayuan.

Xiao Zhang touched his right cheek that was scratched by the mouse, and lowered his eyes sadly.

There was no one in the security post, so I don't know if they were injured and couldn't come, or they were temporarily evacuated.

Xiao Mo took the child to the store.

As soon as the store door was opened, a group of rats ran out.

Without another word, Xiao Mo closed the door again.

"It's become a rat's nest inside." Xue Lihong said.

Xiao Mo squinted at the child, "Don't remind me, I'm about to forget."

Xue Lihong spread her hands, "I don't think you need to look at the basement. Of course, if you have the courage to go in, I won't stop you."

"Let's go to the garage and see if the car can be repaired. I have installed rat repellers in the shop and in the basement, so why are there still rats nesting there?" Xiao Mo gritted his teeth in distress. Don't look at those things as junk It came, but with the shelves and replacement parts, the cost of all the top and bottom is [-] to [-], and this is not counting his manual costs!

"Maybe it's because of the power outage?"

Xiao Mo woke up.The rat repellers in his home and shop are different from those in the city. They bring their own large batteries, but his needs to be powered by a plug. Once the power is cut off, it becomes a decoration.

The situation in the garage was worse than expected.

Rats also know how to shelter from the rain, and the garage is rich in metal grains, so this has naturally become one of their large gathering places.

"Go in?" the child asked, looking up.

The adult pulled the child back, "Did we see a lot of abandoned vehicles on the way here?"

"Maybe some of them have lost their keys and the damage is not serious." The child understood.

"I think so too. Let's go, go home and have a look." Xiao Mo turned around reluctantly.I don't know if the insurance company will pay for this?The car he bought for 20 yuan!

Xue Lihong comforted him, "You have the ability to repair, are you afraid that you will run out of money in the future?"

"But I'm more afraid of being dragged to an autopsy."

"Actually, the vast majority of scientists do not support this kind of destructive research. Believe me, they prefer to use sustainable and renewable resources, so... even if you are discovered, you will not suffer the same fate as the mouse."

"Accept your good words..." Xiao Mo's face was covered with black lines.

The situation in the residential building is much better than outside. Although there are mice scurrying around, they are not so unstoppable. It's just that the large number of cockroaches makes people shudder.

The more you go upstairs, the fewer the insects and rats, and you can hardly see the shadow of the insects on the sixth floor.

When Xiao Mo opened the door, he took the child into his arms.

There was no movement in the crack of the door.

Xiao Mo widened the crack of the door again, but still no mouse could escape.

What's happening here?

Xiao Mo put the child on the ground, let him stand behind him, then carefully poked his head into the crack of the door to look.

The house doesn't seem to have changed much, and everything is still neatly placed where they should be placed.

"Huh?" Xiao Mo was puzzled.

The child pushed him away, opened the door and walked in.

"Hey, be careful!"

"No worms."

"I know, but...it's strange. Is it like this on the top floors? Worms don't like to climb high?" Xiao Mo also stepped into the house and closed the door behind him.

Neither of them changed their shoes, so they could run around at any time.

Xiao Mo turned into the kitchen, which was the easiest place to attract pests, and took a look. Well, it was still the same as when he left, except for a little dust on the countertop.

"Xiaohong, let's speed up packing. There is a small suitcase and a luggage bag in the closet of your room. You put all your clothes and daily necessities in it. Xiaohong?" Seeing that the child ignored him, Xiao Mo looked out from the kitchen. Get ahead.

The child stood in the living room, staring in the direction of the study without moving.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo walked over.

"Don't move! Speak softly." The child stopped him softly.

Xiao Mo paused, he saw it too!

On the desk of his rather complacent study, a tabby cat the size of a family car tire is dozing there.

Is this why there are no mice and cockroaches in his house?

No, where did this cat come from?He didn't remember which neighbor had such a huge tabby cat.

By the way, can cats grow so big?This doesn't look like obesity.

"A cat? Or a leopard?"

"Your leopard looks like a cat?"

Xiao Mo was so angry that he wanted to slap him, but when he thought that the other party might be an adult as old as him, he couldn't continue to slap the other party's butt.

"It's asleep." Xue Lihong confirmed after watching for a while.

"you sure?"

"It didn't wake up when you spoke so loudly just now. It was either in a deep sleep or in a coma. I'll go and have a look."

"Hey!" Xiao Mo didn't hold the child, seeing that the child really went to look at the tabby cat with unknown force value, so he had to take a quick step to follow.

Xue Lihong was just like treating ordinary kittens, she would pet her on the head, touch her nose, and even tug her beard.

Xiao Mo was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped him, even if the cat was not dangerous, with such a big head, it would be enough for him to give a child a paw when it got angry.

Xue Lihong seemed to move casually, but in fact he had already clenched his self-defense weapon tightly in his hand. As long as the cat reacted hostilely, he could immediately make the cat lie down.

"I slept so deeply." Xue Lihong took out an automatic needle tube from her backpack, and unceremoniously stuck it into the body of the big cat.

Xiao Mo trembled a bit, the child was very ruthless.But why does he carry a needle with him?

Xue Lihong drew blood for the tabby cat, put the needle tube back into the bag with satisfaction, and dragged Xiao Mo to the bedroom.

"Why? Is the cat left like this?"

"Leave it alone, town house."

"What if it wakes up? I'd better throw it out..."

"And then you wait to be surrounded by worms."

Comparing the two evils, whichever is the lesser, Xiao Mo felt that a cat was easier to deal with, so he acquiesced in the overbearing behavior of the big tabby cat occupying his desk as a bed.

"What are you rushing to my room for?" Xiao Mo grabbed the door frame and stood firm.

The child didn't pull him, turned his head and said slightly angrily: "You promised to help me restore my adult body, don't you think it doesn't count if you want to talk?"
