[Big Interstellar Age] Bamboo horses become a pair

After entering the XX chewing gum sales booth, Zhang Ziyao glanced at the salesman, pushed the shopping trolley away as if nothing had happened, then gritted his teeth and took a few steps back, stopped in front of the salesman, and said expressionlessly, "Ear."

The salesman was taken aback, and suddenly realized something, his whole body froze for a moment, his fluffy ears stood up straight as if he was frightened, and his whole body was like a frightened kitten, pulling down his hat in a hurry.

When he left the XX chewing gum sales office, Zhang Ziyao's shopping trolley was already stuffed with free trial packets of various flavors of XX chewing gum as thanks.

Standing at the entrance of the supermarket, Zhang Ziyao looked sadly at the few shopping bags under his feet—mainly the pile of free chewing gum of various flavors. The cashier girl who helped him collect the sales had a really wonderful expression.Zhang Ziyao felt worried. He couldn't carry so many things by himself. If he took a taxi, it would only take about ten minutes to walk from his house.

When he was worrying, a pair of hands next to him stretched out to help him lift up a few shopping bags on the ground.

Zhang Ziyao turned his head in surprise, and found that it was the boy in black named Su Rui.

Su Rui smiled gently at him and said, "I saw you standing there for a long time without leaving, is it because of these things? Let me help you!"

Seeing Su Rui's effortless way of mentioning those shopping bags, Zhang Ziyao readily accepted, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Su Rui shook his head and said, "I'm the one to thank you. If it weren't for you, I would probably have caused a lot of trouble."

Zhang Ziyao was somewhat ashamed. After all, he almost wanted to pretend that he hadn't seen it. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Did you buy what you wanted?"

Su Rui shook an old silver necklace in his hand, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, "I got it."

The two walked back and forth, Su Rui was not a talkative person, but Zhang Ziyao had a good impression of this young man whom he hadn't seen a few times, he felt like a friend who had known each other for many years.

After Su Rui sent him to the door of his house, Zhang Ziyao gave Su Rui his phone number very proudly: "Although I am not your person in charge, you can call me if you encounter any difficulties in life on earth in the future." I."

Su Rui froze for a moment, stretched out his knuckle-knuckle hand to take the phone number, looked at it for a long time, and put the simple piece of paper with the phone number in the space button carefully after Zhang Ziyao had already left his sight.

Weiss didn't understand, and asked Su Rui suspiciously: "Xiao Rui, did you leave his note because you want to contact him later? But the earth is not connected to the interstellar network yet, and our communicator also contacts him." Not here. That piece of paper can't play the role of connecting intelligent creatures with each other at all."

Su Rui shook his head and smiled lightly: "Wes, although this piece of paper cannot allow me to contact him across the galaxy, it is an invitation worthy of my cherishment."

An invitation from a friend from a distant planet.

part8

Zhang Ziyao was about to put away the various items bought from the supermarket by category when there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, Zhang Ziyao saw that it was Fang Qingqing.

Fang Qingqing held a small cake box, showing a shy smile, and said in a girl's soft voice: "Brother Ziyao, I made some cakes for you to taste."

Zhang Ziyao was a little surprised and said, "Qingqing, how do you know that I live here?"

Fang Qingqing smiled embarrassedly and said, "Ji Xiao said it yesterday."

He hurriedly asked Fang Qingqing to come in and sit down. Xiao Jixiao, who heard the sound, saw Fang Qingqing come out, his eyes lit up, and hurriedly ran to Fang Qingqing's side like a puppy to serve tea and water, and asked warmly, "Qingqing, are you thirsty?" , Are you tired? I'll help you get it!"

After finishing speaking, he foolishly hugged the cake box in his arms, and poured water for Fang Qingqing.

Zhang Ziyao smiled awkwardly: "Haha, Qingqing, don't mind." Fortunately, the stench in that boy's mouth is not as strong as before, otherwise Fang Qingqing would not have passed out directly.

Fang Qingqing looked at him with big flickering eyes and said, "Ji Xiao is brother Ziyao's younger brother, that is, my younger brother."

Zhang Ziyao: "..." Where is the logic?

Fang Qingqing seemed to realize something, a red cloud flew up her cheeks, and explained in a low voice: "I mean brother Ziyao and I are friends, Ji Xiao is your younger brother, and I treat him as a younger brother."

Zhang Ziyao looked sympathetically at Ji Xiao who was busy serving tea.

"Brother Ziyao—" Fang Qingqing said softly to Zhang Ziyao, but Zhang Ziyao's cell phone rang before he finished speaking.Zhang Ziyao smiled apologetically at Fang Qingqing, then picked up the phone and said, "Hello?" The caller was from an unfamiliar number, which Zhang Ziyao didn't recognize.

A strange female voice came from the other end of the phone. The female voice hesitated for a while and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhang Ziyao? A friend of Mr. Qiao Mu?"

When Zhang Ziyao heard Qiao Mu's name, Zhang Ziyao replied affirmatively: "Yes, I am his friend. What's wrong with him?" Qiao Mu is one of Zhang Ziyao's few friends. The gap between the two plant species-the arbor itself is a broad-leaved tree and he is a mammal, but this does not hinder the friendship between the two at all.

After hearing his affirmative answer, the female voice on the other side of the phone breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Qiao Mu suddenly fainted and is being sent to XX Hospital. Could you please come here?"

Qiao Mu passed out?Zhang Ziyao realized the seriousness of the problem and said nervously: "Okay, I'll go to the hospital right away. How is Qiao Mu? Is there something wrong? Is it serious?"

The female voice seemed a little embarrassed and just said: "Mr. Qiao Mu's situation is more complicated, it would be better to explain it in person." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

Zhang Ziyao was anxious, seeing Fang Qingqing who was sitting by the side said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Qingqing, I have to go out for a while, so I can't entertain you."

Fang Qingqing quickly shook her head and said, "It's okay, we've all heard, is brother Ziyao's friend sick?" She hesitated for a while and then said, "Brother Ziyao, do you want me to help? I heard that the hospital is very sick. What's the trouble?"

Xiao Jixiao immediately agreed: "Yes, the hospital is so troublesome! I will help you with Qingqing."

Zhang Ziyao hesitated, wondering whether he should agree or not.

Xiao Jixiao suddenly smiled and said: "We are far away from XX Hospital, and it's not convenient to take a taxi, and you don't have a driver's license. I'm the only one with a driver's license here!" Looking at Zhang Ziyao with a beating expression.

Right in the heart!

It's really embarrassing to say that Zhang Ziyao is the only one in his family who doesn't have a driver's license. Xiao Jixiao has passed the test, but he has never passed the test!

Zhang Ziyao patted Xiao Jixiao on the back of the neck expressionlessly and said, "There's so much nonsense, go and drive!"

Although the uncle and aunt are not seen all year round, the car is still prepared at home, and the keys are placed in the drawer at home.Although Xiao Jixiao was unreliable, the driving skills mastered by Xiao Shuqian were more reliable.

In less than half an hour, Xiao Jixiao drove to XX Hospital.Zhang Ziyao called the number from his cell phone, and after a few short beeps, the phone was picked up with the same female voice.Zhang Ziyao said quickly, "Hello, I have arrived at the gate of the hospital."

There seemed to be some noise on the side where she was, but she quickly walked to a quiet place and said, "Mr. Zhang Ziyao? Please wait at the door for a while, I will be there soon." After speaking, she hung up the phone.

Zhang Ziyao, Xiao Jixiao, and Fang Qingqing were waiting at the entrance of the hospital, but fortunately a few minutes later, a female doctor with long curly hair in a white coat walked towards them quickly.The female doctor seemed to be trotting all the way, and some were out of breath. Seeing them, she said to Zhang Ziyao, "Hello, are you Mr. Zhang Ziyao? I'm Anna."

Zhang Ziyao noticed with sharp eyes that the corners of the female doctor's eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried. He didn't want to ask any more questions, so he pretended not to see it and said, "Sir, it's serious. You can just call me Ziyao. How is Qiao Mu, no?" okay?"

Anna shook her head and said, "Qiao Mu is fine for the time being, you can go and see him with me first." After finishing speaking, she led them to the back of the hospital. Dr. Anna seemed to be very famous in this hospital, and there were many doctors and nurses along the way. They are all saying hello to her.Finally, Anna led them into a small building in front of the central garden of the hospital, stopped at the innermost room on the first floor and said, "The tree is here."

Zhang Ziyao hurriedly opened the door, and in the room filled with the smell of disinfectant, Qiao Mu lay sickly on the white hospital bed.The arbor comes from the distant Virgo galaxy. He migrated from the prosperous home star to the remote earth five years ago. His body is a broad-leaved tree with a graceful figure, a wide crown, and luxuriant branches and leaves.Probably because Qiao Mu is a tree, he is always like the spring breeze in March, making everyone who comes into contact with him feel as if he is walking in the bright spring light, which is extremely warm.

And now he lay in the hospital bed looking terribly haggard.Zhang Ziyao wasn't worried about Qiao Mu at first, he had seen Qiao Mu's very strong side - Qiao Mu once wrapped a sparrow parked in his yard with a bunch of vines from his own body, and after a few seconds, it was released, leaving only a pile of bones.He always thought that Qiao Mu was very powerful, and nothing on the earth could threaten him, but now seeing Qiao Mu's haggard side, he was also taken aback, and he stepped forward and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Qiao Mu had already woken up. When he saw Zhang Ziyao, he smiled weakly and said, "Ziyao, you are here."

Zhang Ziyao asked worriedly, "Are you better now?"

"I'm much better now." Qiao Mu comforted him and said, "I...isn't really sick at all." Qiao Mu seemed to hesitate to speak.

Zhang Ziyao knowingly said to Xiao Jixiao, "Ji Xiao, buy me some fruits and come in." There are many things that Ji Xiao is not suitable to hear.

"Okay, Qingqing, let's go together." Xiao Jixiao was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions, and dragged her away before Fang Qingqing agreed.Only he, Qiao Mu and the female doctor named Anna were left in the ward.

Zhang Ziyao looked at Anna suspiciously.Qiao Mu immediately explained: "Anna is also from an alien planet. She knows my current physical condition very well." Anna nodded to him and said, "I met you in the office once and knew your name. Qiao Mu fainted and was sent to Come here, and I'll notify you right away." Thinking about it now, when he was at the entrance of the hospital, Anna recognized him at a glance, as expected, she had seen him before.

Seeing the seriousness of the two of them, Zhang Ziyao couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Qiao Mu, what's wrong with you?"

Qiao Mu and Anna looked at each other, smiled wryly and said, "Ziyao, my active period has come."

"Active period!" Zhang Ziyao repeated this word he had only heard in Qiao Mu's description in surprise, and he couldn't help saying, "How come?"

Qiao Mu said sadly, "My active period has come earlier."

Anna added on the side: "I observed Qiao Shu's cell activity. His current cell activity is more than ten times the normal peak. This is a sign that he is about to enter the active period."

Zhang Ziyao is no stranger to the term "active period".The arbor family is a plant. The growth and evolution of a lifetime can be roughly divided into three active periods. During these three active periods, they will enter a state of rapid growth, and their cells will be in a highly active state of continuous division. Various functions of the body will increase substantially.

The original active period of the arbor should come next summer.

Zhang Ziyao felt a little unbelievable, and asked, "Why is it so long in advance?"

Qiao Mu shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know either. In the past, the clansmen also made advance plans, but this kind of thing rarely happened."

Zhang Ziyao turned his head and asked Anna: "Doctor An, do you have a solution?"

Anna shook her head apologetically and said: "I have no way to delay his active period, but I suggest that Qiao Mu better stay on the earth to complete his second active period. The various nutrients on the earth are similar to those of Qiao Mu's home planet. It is the best choice for Qiao Mu to find an inaccessible place and let him spend his active period on Earth."

Qiao Mu still frowned and did not agree to Anna's suggestion, as if he had some concerns.

Anna seemed to be aware of this and said to us: "This is just my suggestion, if you have other methods, it's fine." After speaking, Anna looked at the watch on her wrist and said sorry: "I still I have something to do, I have to go first. Qiao Mu can rest here for a while, and he can be discharged from the hospital when he feels better."

Qiao Mu smiled gratefully at Anna and said, "Go and do your work, I'm really bothering you today." Anna smiled and said, "It's just a matter of little effort."

"Qiao Mu you?" Zhang Ziyao asked tentatively after Anna left.

Qiao Mu looked up at Zhang Ziyao and said, "Ziyao, I have a solution, but you have to take me home first."

part9

Call and tell Ji Xiao and Qing Qing that he is waiting for them at the hospital gate.Zhang Ziyao carefully supported Qiao Mu and walked towards the hospital entrance.It is almost November now, and although it is in the south, the weather has begun to cool down. Qiao Mu is only wearing a thin coat, which looks very thin in the cold wind. Zhang Ziyao couldn't help asking: "Qiao Mu, are you cold?" Isn't it cold?"

Qiao Mu has always dressed like this, but before he was strong and vigorous, Zhang Ziyao didn't find it strange.But now Qiao Mu's face is pale and thin, and he walks in the cold wind wearing only single clothes.Zhang Ziyao, a bystander, felt a chill running up his spine at a glance.

Qiao Mu seemed to be aware of what he was thinking, and instead comforted him, he said: "Although I am feeling a little uncomfortable now, you forgot what my body is? Clothes are more than enough to me. Don't worry too much about me, enter The "active period" is a good thing for our family."

— Alien creatures probably cannot be inferred using common sense.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ziyao felt relieved and said, "I'm worried about you to death, but you're good! Once you don't worry about it. Tell me where I'm going to find you an open space for you to take root and sprout."

Qiao Mu sighed in a low voice, "If only it were as simple as finding a place to take root and sprout."

Zhang Ziyao heard a slight question with his sharp ears: "What's wrong?"

Qiao Mu didn't want to say more here, but said to Zhang Ziyao, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

"Zi Yao——" A clear male voice sounded from behind, it was someone calling him.Zhang Ziyao paused, looked back, and found that the man was Su Rui!

Su Rui stepped forward and smiled at him and said, "What a coincidence, I saw you here again."

Zhang Ziyao also felt that there was some kind of fate between them, and they met three times in just one day, and said with a good impression: "Yes, what a coincidence! But, why are you here?"

Su Rui didn't want to hide it from him, so he simply said: "Look for someone." He rolled his eyes lightly, looked at Qiao Mu beside Zhang Ziyao, and saw that something was wrong with Qiao Mu just the same, but he didn't Not a troublesome person, so I didn't say much.

The same Qiao Mu also noticed the special aura on him, and looked at him vigilantly.Qiao Muqiang supported Weiwei and walked forward, separated him from Zhang Ziyao without leaving a trace, and then said to Zhang Ziyao in a light tone: "Ziyao, I'm a little tired, let's go back."

Zhang Ziyao was taken aback, he was not stupid, he also noticed Qiao Mu's sudden hostility, but at this time, it was obvious that Qiao Mu was more important, he smiled apologetically at Su Rui and said, "Sorry, I have to go first gone."

Su Rui didn't mind, and said very considerately: "I was going to find someone too."

Zhang Ziyao said even more guiltily: "I'm really sorry." But just as he finished speaking, he was dragged away by Qiao Mu.

After walking a few steps away, Zhang Ziyao rubbed his sore wrist and asked in puzzlement, "Qiao Mu, what's wrong with you?"

Qiao Mu looked helplessly at Zhang Ziyao who didn't know anything and said, "Do you know the division of civilizations in the Star Alliance?"

Zhang Ziyao was taken aback, but quickly replied: "There are seven levels, but now the highest level of civilization is only five." These are all common sense, and he knew it on the first day he entered the alien office.

"Then do you know what level of civilization I belong to?" Qiao Mu asked again.

This Qiao Mu once told him, and Zhang Ziyao replied without hesitation: "The fourth level." Although it was unbelievable, Qiao Mu came from one of the top civilizations in the Star Alliance.

Qiao Mu sighed leisurely, and suddenly asked irrelevantly: "Zi Yao, do you know why more than half of the more than [-] intelligent races in the Star Alliance exist in human forms similar to yours? "

Zhang Ziyao was slightly stunned and shook his head.It is true that many alien creatures are very similar in structure to people on earth, as long as you are careful, living in the earth mixed together will not attract any attention.It stands to reason that the evolution of various civilizations in the vast universe is different, but it is really incredible that all mammals have the upper hand.

"Because there was a race in the universe, their civilization is guessed to have reached the seventh level of civilization, but for some reason they died in the end." Qiao Mu said, "Before they died, they scattered the seeds of their lives on In the vast universe, most of them failed, but some life seeds stayed on suitable planets. After tens of millions of years of evolution, some intelligent races that were similar to them in general but different in details. Our Plant family also It can be regarded as their descendants - after fusion with the native plants of Planet Planet."

"So, in fact, most of the civilizations in the interstellar world originated from that race?" Zhang Ziyao was dumbfounded, and he also admired that civilized race in his heart. A race that created most of the civilizations in the interstellar world must be so great.

Qiao Mu sighed: "That Su Rui just now is also a humanoid intelligent creature. And the only human race in the interstellar world that can suppress the breath of our race is that one, do you know that!"

Zhang Ziyao vaguely guessed it, but he still couldn't believe it: "He is—"

"Grande people." Qiao Mu said the answer: "The strongest family - the fifth-class civilization Grant family."

There was some silence in the atmosphere for a while, and Zhang Ziyao said in disbelief: "Su Rui is from Grant! He...he doesn't look like him at all." Su Rui was polite and courteous, and his body also looked tall and thin, It doesn't look like the strongest family in the universe at all.

"You have to tell him to stay away from him." Qiao Mu warned seriously, "First and second-class civilizations are fine, there are many higher-civilized creatures in the universe who treat lower-level civilizations as slaves, especially you who have not even set foot in the Star Alliance. It is very dangerous to come into contact with the civilizations that have entered. In the future, when you encounter higher civilization creatures that you don’t know, you have to go farther away, you know?”

"But I don't think Su Rui is that kind of person." Zhang Ziyao thought of Su Rui's performance during the short time they got along, and couldn't help but argue for him.

"Zi Yao—ah!" Qiao Mu seemed to want to persuade him, but he couldn't help but cover his chest in the middle of speaking.Zhang Ziyao quickly supported him, and asked with concern in his eyes, "Are you okay?"

Qiao Mu waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."

At the gate of the hospital, Xiao Jixiao had already driven the car to the gate.

Zhang Ziyao supported Qiao Mu and sat in the back seat. Qingqing was not there above the co-pilot, so he asked strangely, "Where is Qingqing?"

Xiao Jixiao said sullenly, "She just left for something."

Did Fang Qingqing leave just now?By the way, Qingqing is from Amanda, will Su Rui have anything to do with her?Know that the Amandas and the Grandes often intermarry, and their love is said to have been kissed by the gods - faithful unto death.

Qiao Mu had also met Ji Xiao several times, and they were no strangers to each other. Seeing Ji Xiao's dejected look, he couldn't help but teased, "Which family's girl does Ji Xiao fall in love with again?"

Ji Xiao turned his head and said angrily: "I didn't like it again!"

Qiao Mu pretended to be serious and said, "I remember that the girl who went to the flower shop with you last time was not named Qingqing."

"Qiao Mu!" Ji Xiao suddenly forgot to drive, and looked at Qiao Mu in the rear compartment with embarrassment.

Seeing that the car deviated from the direction and hit the green belt, Zhang Ziyao was terrified, and immediately shouted at Ji Xiao: "Hey! Fool! Look ahead!"

Qiao Mu always liked to tease Xiao Jixiao, and when he smelled the bad smell from Xiao Jixiao's mouth, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Ji Xiao, you haven't brushed your teeth, you have bad breath."

"I didn't! You smelled it wrong."

"I didn't smell it wrong, it's obviously you!"

"No is no!"

"haha, really."

"I do not have!"

"Hey! Drive and look ahead!! It's about to hit you! Shut up, you two bastards!"

After arriving at Qiao Mu's house, Zhang Ziyao asked Ji Xiao to go back first, and then helped Qiao Mu into the courtyard.Qiao Mu's house has a separate courtyard, in which various plants are planted. In front of the courtyard is a flower shop run by Qiao Mu. Walking through the back door of the flower shop directly leads to his yard.

The interior layout of Qiao Mu's house is fresh and natural, with log furniture and plants everywhere. Zhang Ziyao helped Qiao Mu onto the sofa and asked directly, "Qiao Mu, what is the solution you said?"

Qiao Mu didn't answer his question directly, but picked up an apple from the tea table next to the sofa and threw it over, saying, "Eat an apple, don't be hungry."

Zhang Ziyao took a bite out of the apple and asked, "Qiao Mu, what can you do?"

Qiao Mu sighed and said, "My problem is more troublesome than what Anna said."

Zhang Ziyao asked puzzledly: "You mean?" Qiao Mu looked straight into his eyes, and there was some anxiety in the originally gentle eyes and said: "In our clan, some people are special. It will also enter a short dormant period before, during which it will store energy for the subsequent rapid growth, and I belong to that small part."

Zhang Ziyao put down the half-bitten apple, and asked hesitantly, "Dormant period... is there any problem?"

"During the dormant period, my self-awareness will be completely asleep, and I will appear in the form of my body, and what's worse—" Qiao Mu said with a wry smile: "My hunting instinct will awaken, and I will attack indiscriminately."

"Indiscriminate attack?" Zhang Ziyao realized that trees and earth plants have completely different powerful digestive systems and diets. If he hunted indiscriminately...he couldn't help but shudder.Thinking of the terrible consequences, he asked seriously: "How long will it be before you fall into dormancy?"

"Tomorrow morning at the latest." Qiao Mu's usual indifferent face also showed a bit of anxiety.

Zhang Ziyao froze on the sofa for a while, and it took him a few seconds to react. He quickly asked, "Is there no solution?"

"I know that there is a potion that can keep me awake during the dormancy period. In order to prevent this day, I have already prepared the ingredients for the potion, and now I am only one or two short." Qiao Mu said: "I met a few days ago. The professor at the Interstellar Freedom Academy, he is very knowledgeable and good at pharmacy, he will definitely be able to help me."

"Where is he now?" Zhang Ziyao asked after a moment of thought, "I'll go find him."

"Professor Tesla lives nearby." Qiao Mu said with a sigh of relief: "I'll draw the location for you. But—" Qiao Mu paused slightly, sighed and said to him: "Ziyao, the professor doesn't know where he is. Even if you find the place, you may not be able to find the professor. If...you haven't found the professor before dark, please inform the people in the office about it."

"Qiao Mu!" Zhang Ziyao was taken aback, but immediately understood what Qiao Mu meant. If they couldn't find Professor Tesla, they would definitely not be able to survive the dormant period on their own, so they had to notify the office.It's just that according to the "Code of Conduct for Alien Migration Creatures", without reporting and approval from relevant departments, it poses a potentially huge threat to human life, and this will force Qiao Shu to be driven out of the earth. And it is forbidden to return to Earth for fifty earth years.

Qiao Mu never said the reason why he left his home planet and came to the distant earth alone, but every time Qiao Mu mentioned his home planet, Zhang Ziyao, the god of sadness, always remembered it in his heart.Zhang Ziyao knows that Qiao Mu has really liked the earth for so many years, and regards the earth as his second home. If Qiao Mu is expelled from the earth like this...

"Ziyao, don't act like you're about to cry! That's just the worst case scenario, and I believe our luck won't be that bad." Qiao Mu's voice was a little dim, but he still cheered up and comforted Zhang Ziyao. .

Zhang Ziyao took the map that Qiao Mu had drawn, cheered up and said to Qiao Mu: "Qiao Mu, wait for me, I will definitely bring Professor Tesla."

For Qiao Mu, he must bring Professor Tesla back.

part10

Qiao Mu is like a friend and a teacher to Zhang Ziyao. Compared with the unreliable old Liu, Qiao Mu is more like a guide. It is he who opened the door of the magnificent biological palace in the universe, allowing Zhang Ziyao to peep into the mysterious inside. Another deep corner.

Qiao Mu loves the earth and every plant and tree here.In the past three years, Qiao Mu has helped him a lot, and now he only hopes that he can help Qiao Mu himself.

According to the map drawn by Qiao Mu, Zhang Ziyao found the outskirts of the city.

When he got there, Zhang Ziyao realized that he had overestimated himself.This large area is full of abandoned factories, each factory building is similar in structure, and the location is so desolate that Zhang Ziyao can't even find a passerby.Qiao Mu drew a very simple map without any reference objects, and Zhang Ziyao always couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. After wandering around for a long time, Zhang Ziyao still couldn't find a way out.

After going around in place a few times, just when he was frustrated, he felt something was lying on his trousers every now and then.Zhang Ziyao started to look down, and saw a long, slender cat with blue-gray hair stretched out its front paws, drawing three scratches on his trousers, it seemed to be aware of Zhang Ziyao's gaze, the fluffy cat Lifting his face, a pair of green almond-shaped cat eyes innocently looked at Zhang Ziyao and shouted: "Meow——"

What a beautiful little guy!

Zhang Ziyao said with emotion, seeing that pretty little guy didn't seem to have any hostility towards him, Zhang Ziyao squatted down and picked it up carefully.It didn't seem to hate human hugs, and let Zhang Ziyao hug it meekly, rubbing its furry head in Zhang Ziyao's palms.

Zhang Ziyao stroked its back. Its soft hair felt as soft as velvet. Zhang Ziyao looked at its big cat eyes that didn't care about any worries, and said to the cat dejectedly, "Cat, are you lost too? Your master is here Where is it?"

Zhang Ziyao looked at his watch, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.It was winter, and it always got dark early, so he didn't have much time left.

No matter what, waiting in place is always of no benefit. Zhang Ziyao pulled himself together and chose a random direction to walk, but just as his feet stepped out, the big cat in his arms jumped down gracefully and swiftly. The gray mink-like fur reflects the beautiful luster of silver gray.

It squatted at Zhang Ziyao's feet, lowered its head, bit Zhang Ziyao's trousers and dragged it in another direction.

Zhang Ziyao froze in place, looking at the cat under his feet.

this little guy...

The cat's watery almond-like green eyes looked at Zhang Ziyao innocently, loosened his trousers, and said sweetly, "Meow..." Then he lowered his head and continued to try to pull him aside.Zhang Ziyao thought for a while and said, "Little guy, do you want to take me home?"

Zhang Ziyao suddenly realized that the cat is very clean and not only is it not afraid of people, but it is very clingy, and there is a beautiful and clean bow around its neck, it should be a domestic cat.Its four claws are not considered dirty, and its owner should be nearby. If he can find his owner... he should be able to ask for directions.

After figuring this out, Zhang Ziyao stopped resisting and followed the little guy obediently.

The cat seemed to realize that Zhang Ziyao was willing to leave with it, so it stopped biting Zhang Ziyao's trousers, and led the way happily with its tail raised and light steps.

After walking for about 10 minutes, the cat stopped in front of a large iron gate of a factory building.Zhang Ziyao looked at the rusty iron gate in a strange way. Does the owner of the cat live here?Does anyone really live in such a place!

Zhang Ziyao had doubts in his heart. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the big iron door opened from the inside with a "creak" sound. Zhang Ziyao was startled and took a step back.

A gray-haired old man stood behind the iron gate, smiled and said, "Did Lomi bring new friends back?"

Zhang Ziyao looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of the door in surprise, and soon realized that he was probably the owner of the cat, and quickly said hello, "Hello."

"Hello, kid." The old man smiled slightly at Zhang Ziyao, "Thank you for sending Luo Mi back."

"Luomi?" Zhang Ziyao looked down at the blue-gray pure j□j and asked, "Is it its name?" The cat understood that we were discussing it, and it sweetly "meowed" to the old man like a baby It kept barking, and then it walked to Zhang Ziyao's side and arched its body to rub against Zhang Ziyao.

"It seems that Lomi likes you very much." The old man winked mischievously, "I'm almost jealous."

Zhang Ziyao said with some embarrassment: "Luomi is very cute, you taught him to be very obedient and very attractive."

"Son," the old man leaned over and picked up Lomi, stroking its soft fur and said, "What do you do here? You know, this is a remote place, and few strangers visit it."

"Excuse me, do you know the address? I want to find someone who lives in this place." Zhang Ziyao quickly took out the map that Qiao Mu drew and handed it to the old man.The old man took the note and looked at it, then he was stunned for a moment, didn't speak, just looked up at Zhang Ziyao silently and carefully.Zhang Ziyao was looked at by him a little strangely and asked: "Do you have any questions?"

The old man smiled and said, "If I'm not blind and misjudged, I'm the one you're looking for. Son, what can you do with me?"

"You are Professor Tesla?" Zhang Ziyao looked in surprise at the gray-haired but still energetic old man.This kind old man who is gently stroking Lomi is the very powerful professor of the Star Alliance that Qiao Mu said?

"Yes, it's guaranteed." The old man pushed open the big iron door and made a gesture of inviting in, "Son, come in if you have anything to say."

Zhang Ziyao quickly followed the professor in.The huge factory building is divided into several parts by walls. The outermost one is a small but very comfortable living room. Next to the warm-colored cloth sofa is a rattan coffee table with steaming scented tea. There is a large reclining chair with padded cushions, and a well-arranged and comfortable cat nest is placed underneath.

There was a small basket next to the recliner, which contained a bunch of strange things, including a bunch of dogtail grass, a cluster of small dried flowers that were still bright in color, a few balls of yarn with various patterns, and some brightly colored feathers of various colors.

Wait... There is also a little mouse that has been played with half to death, and its tail is still twitching!

Lomi, who was in Professor Truss' arms, suddenly jumped out of the professor's arms, walked in front of Zhang Ziyao, and grabbed Zhang Ziyao's trousers with his teeth.Zhang Ziyao didn't know why, so he followed Luo Mi's strength and finally stopped in his basket of toys!

Seeing Luo Mi who was trying to put him in the basket, Zhang Ziyao looked at the professor helplessly.The professor shook his head, and said helplessly to Lomi, "Luomi, don't be naughty!"

Lomi squatted on the ground aggrieved, looking at the professor with watery eyes.

The professor immediately took a few steps forward to hug Lomi with distress, and said to him helplessly: "Luomi is just a child, he just regards you as his favorite toy, he just wants to give away all his favorite things Give it to me. Please don't mind.
