Zhang Ziyao: "..."
So Lomi just tricked him back as a fun toy and gave it to the professor?
I thought he had finally exploded in character!Zhang Ziyao's heart was greatly shocked, and he drank the lasagna silently. He swallowed a handful of bitter tears and said, "Why, Luomi is so good, it's too late for me to like it."
Lomi broke free from his master's arms.Its pointed ears moved, its pure white tail was raised high and swayed slowly with a certain rhythm, its furry head was tilted, and its blue eyes looked back and forth between Zhang Ziyao and the professor for a long time in doubt. , The half-understood look is very cute.
The professor called softly: "Luomi, be good, come back."
Hearing the master's call, Lomi's beautiful pointed ears trembled, and he quickly decided to give up thinking about things that he didn't understand. He let out a pleasant and sweet "meow" and jumped back gracefully. Professor arms.
"Please sit down, kid." The professor hugged Lomi, sat on the sofa, put Lomi on the warm and comfortable cushion, and said to Zhang Ziyao, "Don't be restrained."
Zhang Ziyao sat on the soft sofa, holding the hot scented tea made by the professor in his hand, thought for a while and said: "Hello, Professor Tesla. My name is Zhang Ziyao. I have some business to take the liberty to come here this time. I want to please you."
Zhang Ziyao looked at the professor's expression and saw that the professor didn't mean to refuse. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I have a friend who is in trouble. Well, it's not a friend from the earth, but a friend from the Virgo galaxy. friend."
The professor narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly, as if recalling something, he opened his eyes quickly and said, "An intelligent species from the Virgo galaxy? Plant? It's a tree, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Ziyao nodded quickly, and said pleasantly, "It's him."
The professor stroked Lomi's soft cat fur and said: "I can still teach him the history of the modern universe for half a school year, and I met him a few days ago. He is also a cute and well-behaved boy, what trouble is he? ?"
"He entered the active period half a year earlier." Seeing that Professor Tesla still remembered Qiao Mu, Zhang Ziyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Qiao Mu, he himself is worried that he will unconsciously attack humans after entering the dormant period, so we would like to ask for your help. "
"The dormant period before the active period is indeed a big trouble for Plant who lives alone on the earth." The professor nodded and thought for a long time, without saying yes or no, he just stood up and walked towards the room after speaking.
Zhang Ziyao anxiously waited for the professor to give Zhang Ziyao an answer, but saw the professor leave. Zhang Ziyao was in a hurry and couldn't care less, so he stood up and stopped the professor and said, "Professor, Qiao Mu has prepared a lot of materials. Just a few materials. Please help Qiao Mu, he doesn't want to hurt anyone!"
The professor blinked, looked at Zhang Ziyao innocently and said, "I'm going to prepare some things to take with me. You must know that the active period comes in advance, and the dormancy process is very fast."
Zhang Ziyao: "..."
Realizing that the elder had agreed to his request, Zhang Ziyao finally let go of the stone hanging in his heart, and said with a little ease in his voice, "I'll go find a taxi."
"Taxi?" The professor said with a smile in his voice, "Is it a means of transportation on Earth? But we don't seem to need it, right, Lomi?"
"Meow—" Lomi happily replied to the master.
Five minutes later, Zhang Ziyao and Professor Tesla stood at the door of Qiao Mu's house, and Lomi squatted obediently at the professor's feet.
Zhang Ziyao will probably never have the chance to ride the ultra-luxury autopiloted aircraft again in his life. He must keep this flight of less than one minute in his heart. Alien local tyrants and the like are the most annoying.
I opened the door with the key, and the curtains were drawn and the room was pitch black. Zhang Ziyao wanted to turn on the light, but he tripped over something and fell to the ground without pain.But the touch of the ground is very strange - not the touch of the floor that Zhang Ziyao is familiar with, but more uneven and rough, with distinct texture, like tree bark.
Zhang Ziyao was puzzled, the Qiao Mu family didn't have anything of this quality?
With a "pop", the professor turned on the light. Under the bright light, Zhang Ziyao stared at everything in front of him with his mouth wide open in surprise.
God, there is a huge plant standing in the center of the two-storey building. Several people hugged the thick tree trunk and pierced the ground between the two floors. The lush branches filled every corner of the ceiling, and the palm-sized The leaves hang down, the crown spreads wide, and you can pick it up if you reach out. The originally flat ground is also uneven due to the arches of the roots exposed outside the land.
It seems to be in a tropical rainforest, and many vines hanging from the branches slowly waving in the air with barbs as if they are always ready to hunt, give it a toughness that plants on the earth do not have.
The sparrows resting outside the yard, heard the movement, and flew into the house curiously.Then...then, the vines that were still twitching slowly were as fast as lightning for an instant, wrapped around the sparrow, and quickly let go in a few seconds, and then...a pile of bloody bones fell to the ground with crackling crackling.
part11
Zhang Ziyao swallowed his saliva.
Lomi, who was waving his little paws and trying to hook the vines, froze for a moment, his fleshy little paws were so frightened that they stopped motionless in mid-air, Zhang Ziyao hurriedly backed away holding the curious Lomi.
The professor frowned slightly, and asked him, "Can you find Qiao Mu?"
"I'll try." Zhang Ziyao tried to calm himself down, but the effect was undoubtedly minimal. He called out weakly, "Qiao Mu? Qiao Mu, where are you?"
Although the sound was small, it was very effective. The vines that were still waving in the air stopped instantly, as if they were frozen, obediently staying in mid-air.After a long time, a weak voice came from the direction of Qiao Mu's bedroom: "Zi Yao, you are finally here."
The professor nodded and said, "Should still be conscious."
After struggling to climb through the living room that has been transformed into a primitive deep forest, he came to Qiao Mu's bedroom. Qiao Mu was lying weakly on a thick branch, half of his body had already merged with the branch. Seeing Zhang Ziyao, he was miserable and powerless Said: "Zi Yao, you are finally here."
Seeing the professor walking in, the excitement in Qiao Mu's eyes flashed. He tried his best to cheer up but was still a little listless: "Hello, Professor Truss."
The professor approached with a smile and asked, "What stage has it reached? The second stage?"
Qiao Mu's joyful face drooped just now: "It's worse, in fact, I have been forced to lose consciousness for a while now, and it is at least the third stage now."
Professor Tesla comforted: "An early active period means that the dormant period will be faster and more difficult to resist. This is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry." After speaking, he took out the light blue reagent from the iron box that he carried and injected it In Qi Qiaomu's body, the professor said while injecting: "I just happened to have some of the medicine you mentioned.
The effect of the blue potion was obvious. Within a few minutes, Qiao Mu was much more energetic than before.The professor prepared some potions for Qiao Mu, and said somewhat reproachfully: "You should know that you belong to a more lethal species, which is different from other mild species. On the earth where technology and resources are scarce, for yourself and the people around you , you should pay more attention to the changes in your body. You know, no matter how suddenly the active period comes, there will always be some omens before."
Qiao Mu said shyly, "Professor, it's all my fault. I should pay more attention. I'm really sorry for your trouble."
Hey, hey... isn't the most troublesome person for you, the one who worked so hard to help you solve the problem?Zhang Ziyao looked at Qiao Mu in disbelief. Does this mean that Zhang Ziyao knows Qiao Mu?How could he have such a shy side!
Seeing his years of friendship and his pitiful appearance, Zhang Ziyao decided not to argue with him, and instead asked the professor: "How long will it take for Qiao Mu to go through the entire dormant period and the active period?
The professor thought for a while and replied: "It may take a little more than a week, but the most dangerous dormant period of unconsciousness only takes about three days. But I can prepare medicine for him to keep him conscious during the dormant period. But Since his body has already taken root here, I will expand the space here so that he can spend his active period here, and there is no need to move it to other places.”
Fortunately, there were only two days, Zhang Ziyao thought happily, thinking of the way the plant stretched its teeth and claws just now, he couldn't match that fierce plant with the person in front of him.Just looking at the reddish mucus that was still flowing back from the vines of the tree, Zhang Ziyao also knew how powerful the body of the tree was. He couldn't help telling Qiao Mu carefully, "You have to be extra careful these two days."
Qiao Mu didn't answer Zhang Ziyao directly, but looked at Zhang Ziyao silently, with deep guilt in his eyes.
Zhang Ziyao suddenly had a bad feeling: "No way—"
Qiao Mu's hands turned into vines and clung to Zhang Ziyao's hand tightly, and said apologetically, "Ziyao, I was forced into a dormant period and lost consciousness for only a few minutes. As soon as I regained consciousness, I found him wrapped in my hair .”
"Where is he?" Zhang Ziyao asked calmly, in fact Zhang Ziyao was surprised that he could still remain calm under such a situation.
Several vines fluttered a grown man floating in front of Zhang Ziyao, and it happened that Zhang Ziyao happened to know who he was.He helped Qiao Mu visit the flower shop for a while, and this person was one of the regular customers.But Zhang Ziyao would rather he didn't know, because that man is a policeman, if it was someone else, he could still cheat. Now you want him to cheat a people's policeman?
Zhang Ziyao silently looked at the unconscious man on the ground, he wondered if he should be glad that he was still alive from his heaving chest?
Qiao Mu seemed to understand Zhang Ziyao's eyes, and quickly explained: "I found out very quickly, he just passed out and was not injured."
Zhang Ziyao looked at Qiao Mu helplessly, and didn't know what to do for a while. Seeing Professor Tesla who was leisurely dispensing medicine, this very reliable elder, Zhang Ziyao immediately cheekily looked at Tess pitifully. Professor La: "Professor, what can you do?"
Professor Tesla was comforting Luo Mi, who was a little anxious. Seeing Zhang Ziyao looking at him, he laughed and said, "I can't help it either! All equipment and medicines that affect human memory are contraband. I They didn't bring any of them."
An excuse, the ultra-luxury self-guided aircraft, which surpasses the existing human civilization for decades, is also a contraband, okay?Zhang Ziyao turned his head and looked at Qiao Mu depressedly. Qiao Mu hesitated and said, "Maybe he didn't see anything."
Zhang Ziyao looked at him quietly and said, "What do you think?"
At this time, the professor suddenly interjected: "Maybe it's really possible! According to my analysis, the smell secreted by the tree itself has a strong hallucinogenic effect. Lomi and I are naturally resistant. It is very likely that you have not been affected. Because I'm used to being by Qiao Mu's side, but he's just an ordinary human being, and he might have been affected by hallucinogens the moment he came in."
The faint and pleasant smell that Qiao Mu has always had turned out to be a hallucinogen!
He actually took hallucinogens without knowing it!No wonder he wanted to find Qiao Mu every day when he first met Qiao Mu!
Zhang Ziyao took a deep breath, trying to maintain his calm, and tried to say to Qiao Mu in a peaceful tone: "I will take him to the yard, and you close the door. Remember not to let him in to see The situation inside. Let me see how much he has seen!"
"What if he saw everything?" Qiao Mu said worriedly.
"Then you pray that you can shut his mouth and tie him up." Zhang Ziyao said viciously, "Don't let him step out of this yard."
With the help of Qiao Mu, Zhang Ziyao put the policeman by the fish pond in the yard.Then he shut the gate to the yard, lest the poor man should run out of the yard screaming the instant he woke up.After doing all this, Zhang Ziyao said to a small vine climbing on a rose, "I know this is you, Qiao Mu. You must play by ear!"
The tender green vines were silent for a long time before trembling their slender bodies in the autumn wind.Zhang Ziyao took a deep breath, prepared himself adequately, and tried to put on a worried look. He shook the poor policeman's shoulder and said, "Wake up, what's wrong with you?"
After a few rough and violent shakings, the unknown policeman finally opened his eyes slowly, and asked in confusion, "Where is this?"
"I'm a friend of the owner of this room. I found you lying here when I came in. What happened?" Zhang Ziyao pretended to be calm and tried to make himself look very innocent, although his heart was beating like a drum.
The policeman rubbed his forehead, and said intermittently as if he was trying to recall: "I—I—I remembered!"
Zhang Ziyao was so nervous that his heart seemed to jump out of his throat in the next second. Although he talked aggressively to Qiao Mu, Zhang Ziyao actually had no bottom in his heart. He didn't want to be imprisoned for assaulting the police at all.
——Finally, he raised his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I saw that the owner of the flower shop didn't open the door today, and the courtyard door was open again, so I came in. After that... I don't remember."
Just don't remember!
Zhang Ziyao finally let go of his gripping heart, and said in an extremely honest and credible tone: "I found you fainted here as soon as I came in. You probably fainted as soon as you came in. Are you too tired recently, so you just passed out?" ..."
He scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "I didn't sleep all night last night. I just wanted to take advantage of the time to come here to buy a little friend for Xiaoxian to accompany her back."
"Xiaoxian?" Zhang Ziyao didn't quite understand, "Are you my pet?"
"That's right!" He smiled and said, "It's a very cute cactus."
He patted the dust on his clothes, propped it up with one hand, and said neatly, "Hello, my name is Wu Yifeng, and I'm a policeman from the police station in this street. This time, I'm really bothering you. You can come to me if you have anything to do in the future." I."
"Hi, I'm Zhang Ziyao, the owner of this store is Qiao Mu's friend." Zhang Ziyao also quickly introduced himself.
"I know you. You always help Boss Qiao look after the store. But there are so many customers, you probably don't remember me." Wu Yifeng smiled at Zhang Ziyao and said, "I seem to have been dizzy for a long time. My friend If I can't find it, I should be anxious, and I should go."
Looking at him, Zhang Ziyao kindly suggested, "Would you like to go to the hospital for a checkup?" After all, he just escaped from Qiao Mu's clutches.
Wu Yifeng nodded heartily and said: "Yes, I feel that my body is really uncomfortable recently! But I'm not in a hurry, I'd better find my friend first, I bought a pot of flowers and haven't gone back for so long, he now They must have scolded me to death.”
Wu Yifeng raised his foot and was about to walk towards the iron gate of the yard. Zhang Ziyao immediately opened the gate for him courteously.
Wu Yifeng walked to the door, but suddenly stopped, as if hesitating for something.
— Did he remember something?
Zhang Ziyao's heart, which had just returned to normal, began to beat wildly again. He looked at Wu Yifeng nervously, afraid that he would say something that he didn't want to hear now.
Wu Yifeng hesitated for a long time, and Zhang Ziyao also trembled in fear for a long time, then he scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "You are a friend of the owner of this flower shop, right? He—he hasn't opened much shop recently, what happened to him?" Are you in trouble?"
Zhang Ziyao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, tried his best to put on a smiling face and said to him, "You mean Qiao Mu? He went on a trip recently, and I'm afraid he won't be back for a long time."
"Oh, that's it." Wu Yifeng lowered his head and seemed a little disappointed, then quickly said with a bright smile, "It's as good as he didn't encounter any trouble!"
part12
Police officer Wu Yifeng was unexpectedly easy to deal with, which finally made Zhang Ziyao feel a lot better.It's just that after the time for the potion to take effect, Qiao Mu was lying powerlessly on a branch and looked very painful, which made him a little more worried.
The professor just told Zhang Ziyao that Plante has a very strong desire for sleep during the dormant period. Although Plante can remain conscious after the injection of that drug, it is like forcing a person who is extremely sleepy to stay awake. For Plant, it was a huge mental torture.
Seeing his friend enduring such great pain, Zhang Ziyao had no choice but to feel bad all of a sudden. He walked gently to Qiao Mu, hoping to give him support and strength.
Sensing Zhang Ziyao's approach, a vertical ladder made of palm-width vines hangs down from the branch where the arbor is.As soon as Zhang Ziyao looked up, he saw Qiao Mu barely raised his head but gave Zhang Ziyao a bright smile.Zhang Ziyao climbed up the ladder at night, and then sat next to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu quietly moved to the side to make room for him.
Qiao Mu is just like that—strong and optimistic.
Qiao Mu would sometimes talk about his past and his friends, but Zhang Ziyao knew his past and was as relaxed and happy as he said.Because Qiao Mu probably didn't realize how dim and sad he would become when he talked about those bright eyes that used to be him.
But Qiao Mu never complained about anything, he took care of every plant in the store tenderly and received every customer every day.When Zhang Ziyao first came into contact with those visitors from distant spaces, he didn't understand anything.Old Liu is very busy, and Zhang Ziyao rarely gets in touch with him. Most of his understanding of this vast starry sky comes from this person in front of him.
This man was his mentor, his friend.
Zhang Ziyao hugged Qiao Mu silently, allowing Qiao Mu's head to rest on his shoulder, trying to hope that this would make Qiao Mu feel more comfortable.Qiao Mu smiled and leaned forward. In fact, Qiao Mu was half a head taller than Zhang Ziyao, and his shoulders were also higher than Zhang Ziyao when he was sitting. The posture was uncomfortable, but he was very relieved. It can become the main body and stretch out a bit.”
"Then you can enjoy it." Zhang Ziyao pretended to be relaxed and said, "There are not a few days like this."
"So it's not that bad, is it?" Qiao Mu said as he looked at Zhang Ziyao with gentle eyes like the spring breeze in March.
"I—" Zhang Ziyao's heart moved slightly, and he was about to say something, but was interrupted by Professor Tesla.
"Children, I have to disturb your sweet moment!" Professor Tesla shouted helplessly standing under the tree, "I think we have encountered a little trouble."
"What's the matter? Professor." Hearing that the professor said he was in trouble, Zhang Ziyao hurriedly climbed down the wooden ladder and asked.
"Arbor's dormancy period is more intense than I thought." The professor paused, as if he was considering his words, and then continued: "This means that my inhibitor can't keep arbor awake during the entire dormancy period." .”
"Does this mean that Qiao Mu needs another injection?" Zhang Ziyao thought about the meaning of the professor's words, and asked tentatively.
"Probably that's what it means. But we may need more than one supplementary injection." The professor shrugged. "In fact, I don't know when the medicine will expire, and when he needs to replenish the medicine."
Qiao Mu asked worriedly, "Is this troublesome, professor?" Zhang Ziyao also looked at the professor worriedly.
The professor comforted and said: "It's not a big trouble, as long as someone is by Qiao Mu's side all the time, it will be enough to give him a supplement when something is wrong. However, if it is not supplemented in time, the consequences will be very serious, and you will never be able to wake up from dormancy again." .”
Zhang Ziyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as I stay with him, there will be no problem, right?"
The professor hesitated for a while and said, "Theoretically so."
"Theoretically?" Zhang Ziyao asked nervously, "Is there any potential danger?"
Qiao Mu sighed and said, "Zi Yao, my dormancy period is three days, three full days, can you stay with me for three days without sleep?"
"That's the problem." Professor Truss nodded and said, "In fact, my suggestion is that I accompany Qiao Mu. My physiological structure determines that I can go without sleep for a long time, and I also know better how to operate the medicine. "
Qiao Mu said in surprise, "Really, Professor!"
"As you can see." The professor blinked: "There seems to be no more suitable candidate than me."
Qiao Mu's eyes were almost about to burst into real light, and he said excitedly: "That's great, Professor. You were my idol in the academy, it's really - it's such an honor!"
Seeing Qiao Mu's excited look, Zhang Ziyao silently swallowed the words "Professor, what a shame."Zhang Ziyao turned to ask the professor: "Professor, is three days too long? Do you want me and you to take turns taking care of Qiao Mu?"
——Although the professor himself said that there is no problem, the professor looks like an old man after all.
The professor seemed to see Zhang Ziyao's concern, and explained: "The physiological structure of our race determines that we don't need to sleep every day."
Hearing what the professor said, Zhang Ziyao felt relieved.
After Qiao Mu's condition became more stable, Zhang Ziyao bid farewell to Qiao Mu, the professor, and Luo Mi. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
After returning home, Zhang Ziyao was lying on the sofa with his blood tank completely empty, and his stomach was throbbing. Only then did he realize that he was busy with two non-human beings all day, and he only ate half an apple at noon, not to mention Say dinner.
But let's not say that he doesn't want to move at all now, and even if he can move, he doesn't want to eat the food he cooked after a hard day!Although he has never admitted it to the outside world, he also understands that the dishes he cooks are barely up to the standard of "cooked".
Ji Xiao, who was still wandering in the living room, was startled when he saw Zhang Ziyao like this, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Ziyao held on to the hem of his clothes as if seeing a savior, looked up miserable and said, "I'm so hungry, so hungry, I'm so hungry."
Ji Xiao took a few steps back subconsciously, and said vigilantly, "Go and eat if you're hungry."
Zhang Ziyao just pretended he didn't hear it, and continued to tug at the hem of his clothes, yelling, "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry." Once you don't agree, he doesn't let go
Ji Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Understood, I'll cook dumplings now. I really owe you in my previous life!"
After hearing a satisfactory answer, Zhang Ziyao immediately let go, sat up, and said to Ji Xiao with a sweet smile: "I want the shepherd's purse and pork stuffing, and don't put chili in the dipping sauce—"
Unable to bear it, Ji Xiao blocked his ears and walked towards the kitchen.
In fact, it's really strange to say that among the three of them who have been stocked for a long time, the one who cooks the best and does all the housework is Xiao Jixiao. The dumplings of the same brand, Ji Xiao's cooking is better than his and his cousin's cooking eat.
Soon the aroma of dumplings wafted from the kitchen, and Zhang Ziyao, who smelled the aroma, immediately broke away from the state of pretending to be dead.Xiao Jixiao put a plate of dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and pork in front of Zhang Ziyao heavily. Zhang Ziyao didn't care at all and asked, "Where are the dipping ingredients?"
Xiao Jixiao shook his head as if he couldn't stand Zhang Ziyao, and went back to the kitchen to bring another small plate of dipping sauce and chopsticks without chili.
Zhang Ziyao swallowed a plate of dumplings like a storm, and felt that he had returned to the world.After eating, Zhang Ziyao thought of asking: "Where is my cousin? Has he come back?"
"He called at noon and said that he might not be back tonight." Ji Xiao complained, "You too! Where did you go, and you won't see anyone all afternoon."
Zhang Ziyao took out his mobile phone and found that the phone had run out of power at some point. Zhang Ziyao blinked and said to Ji Xiao, "Hey! Ji Xiao, your mouth doesn't stink anymore!"
Ji Xiao immediately darkened his face, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "It's not me!"
"Cut." Zhang Ziyao yawned and said, "Who would it be if it wasn't you." Zhang Ziyao, who successfully changed the subject, didn't care whether Ji Xiao's mouth stinks or not.
"I didn't!" Ji Xiao's face became darker.
"It's you."
……
Leaning on the sofa, he continued the unnutritious conversation with Ji Xiao. Zhang Ziyao's eyelids gradually became heavy, and he couldn't help closing his eyes. Ji Xiao's energetic voice slowly became more and more intense. The farther it gets, the more peaceful it is, only to hear Ji Xiao's complaint indistinctly - "Really, I fell asleep." Then after a jolt, I was in a familiar soft and warm place again.
part13
The morning sun gently shone into the room from the side of the half-drawn beige double-layer curtains, drawing the shadow of the desk beside it into a thin strip.The warm sunshine shone on Zhang Ziyao's tightly closed eyes, and the slight tingling sensation made Zhang Ziyao, who was half asleep and half awake, very annoying. Zhang Ziyao got up in a daze, rubbed his eyes, and sat for a long time hugging the quilt for a long time. I just remembered that I am at home now.
Yesterday—yesterday, I remembered.Shouldn't he still be on the sofa!Looking at the familiar soft bed lying under him, the vague memory gradually returned, Zhang Ziyao remembered that it was Ji Xiao who moved him back to the room and covered him with a quilt last night.
I didn't expect Ji Xiao to be so careful, and the little kid has grown up!
Zhang Ziyao felt a little emotional in his heart, and decided to treat Ji Xiao better in the future.
After washing up, Zhang Ziyao looked at his watch. It was already 07:30. Usually at this time, Xiao Shuqian had already gotten up and was preparing breakfast.He rested too early yesterday, he didn't even know when Xiao Shuqian would come back.
Zhang Ziyao rushed to the kitchen excitedly, but the kitchen was empty.
——Has Xiao Shuqian not come back?
Zhang Ziyao thought suspiciously, and ran back to Xiao Shuqian's room again. Sure enough, Xiao Shuqian's quilt was neatly folded, and there was no sign of sleeping at all.
Cousin really didn't come back last night?Zhang Ziyao slowly closed the door of Xiao Shuqian's room with some discomfort in his heart, pulled the pillow on the sofa and sat down on the soft sofa dejectedly.
It's as if it's never been like this in memory!Zhang Ziyao couldn't help thinking, it seemed that in his memory, as long as he was at home, Xiao Shuqian would sleep in the room next to him, and as long as he got up, there would be breakfast prepared by Xiao Shuqian on the table.This seems to have become a habit, even Zhang Ziyao just realized that he didn't know when it started, as long as he was at home, the first thing he did when he got up was to look for his cousin.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Zhang Ziyao told himself not to think about it again.
After all, they have all grown up and have their own lives.
Walking into the kitchen, Zhang Ziyao absently took out the quick-frozen buttered steamed buns and steamed buns from the refrigerator, put them on the steamer, and finally made breakfast after breaking a few plates.Unwilling to stay at home and think wildly, after setting aside enough breakfast for Ji Xiao, Zhang Ziyao packed more than enough breakfast in a lunch box and prepared to send it to Professor Qiao Mu and Luo Mi.
Qiao Mu's home is not far from Zhang Ziyao, only three or four bus stops away.Just far away from Qiao Mu's courtyard, Zhang Ziyao saw police officer Wu Yifeng walking back and forth outside Qiao Mu's courtyard, Zhang Ziyao was a little vigilant, he must have suddenly remembered something!
Zhang Ziyao made up his mind that no matter what Wu Yifeng thought of, he was going to beat him to death and refuse to admit it. Seeing that Wu Yifeng had also found him, Zhang Ziyao simply went up to him, pretending to be surprised, and said, "Officer Wu, why are you here?"
Seeing him, Wu Yifeng scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Today, some nearby residents complained that there were some strange noises in Boss Qiao's house. I was afraid that Boss Qiao's house would be broken into when he was traveling, so I came to have a look. "
Zhang Ziyao frowned, with a vague premonition in his heart.The professor clearly said that the tree of the drug will remain awake after injection, so it should not make violent noises.Moreover, the sound insulation effect of Qiao Mu's house itself is also very good. The sound insulation materials are all imported aliens. Even if there are firecrackers inside, as long as there is a wall, you should not be able to hear it.How could it alarm the people nearby!
Zhang Ziyao felt a little anxious, and wanted to go in and take a look. Seeing the man in front of him, he just wanted to get rid of him quickly, so he made an excuse and said: "The security here is always good, and the Qiao Mu family has nothing but flowers and plants. Valuable things should not go into thieves. Maybe they are wild cats, before Qiao Mu left, he complained to me that there are always wild cats running into the yard recently."
Wu Yifeng didn't seem to believe it: "There are no wild cats around here."
Zhang Ziyao said anxiously, "Maybe he came from somewhere else."
"Meow—" A familiar meow suddenly came from the yard.
—This is Lomi's cry.
Zhang Ziyao immediately said to Wu Yifeng, "Listen, right?"
Wu Yifeng still had doubts in his heart, but he sensed Zhang Ziyao's impatience and heard the cat meowing in the yard, so he hesitated and said, "Then I'll go first, and call me if there is anything." After speaking, he took out a pen and paper from his coat pocket, wrote the number and handed it to Zhang Ziyao.
Zhang Ziyao just wanted to go in quickly to see what happened. He was anxious in his heart, why would he want to read Wu Yifeng's note, but he just took the note, glanced at it casually and said perfunctorily: "Okay, I will contact you if something happens."
After confirming that Wu Yifeng had gone far away, Zhang Ziyao opened the courtyard door anxiously.
The yard was in a mess, and Zhang Ziyao cried out inwardly.
Luo Mi in the yard anxiously paced back and forth in the yard. When he saw Zhang Ziyao, he immediately bit Zhang Ziyao's trousers and carried him into the room.Zhang Ziyao took a closer look, Luomi's blue-gray hair was tangled with dried blood, there were a few deep bloodstains under the hair, his front paw was also injured, and he limped while walking, looking extremely embarrassed , Where is the elegant look yesterday.
Heartbroken, Zhang Ziyao quickly hugged Luo Mi, and hurried towards the house.The door that was closed well before leaving tomorrow is now ajar.Zhang Ziyao already understood most of it in his heart.
——Is something wrong indeed!
Zhang Ziyao ran into the living room.The huge plant was still entrenched in the living room, but most of the branches had already been cut off, and the broken branches and leaves scattered all over the ground made the giant tree look extremely embarrassed.The black scorched marks after the flames covered most of the branches of the giant tree, making it even more horrible to look at. The vines that were still clawing and clawing yesterday fell all over the living room, and the only remaining vines on the tree became sparse and clumsy.Zhang Ziyao bypassed the few remaining vines, staggered the space barrier arranged by the professor, and ran anxiously to the room where Qiao Mu was.
In the room, Qiao Mu collapsed on the spot unconscious, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. Zhang Ziyao felt his heartbeat suddenly stop, his mind went blank, and he ran over as if he just came to his senses in the next second, his hands trembling. He lifted Qiao Mu up until he felt the core still beating under his skin, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
——Fortunately, fortunately, Qiao Mu is still alive.
With such ups and downs in emotions, Zhang Ziyao was stunned for a moment.It wasn't until he felt something soft and warm pushing him under his feet that Zhang Ziyao came back to his senses again, and saw Luo Mi's anxious green eyes.
Where is the professor?Where is the professor?
Zhang Ziyao got up in a hurry, and couldn't find Professor Tesla after searching all over. Thinking of the consequences of the discontinuation of the medicine that the professor said yesterday, he quickly took out the one that the professor specially asked him to identify yesterday from Professor Tesla's pile of reagents. Not caring much, he plunged into Qiao Mu's pale body.
Seeing the light blue potion slowly being injected into Qiao Mu's body, he just sat down on the ground in a daze.
——Qiao Mu is in a coma, and the professor is missing!
What the hell happened last night!
I don't know how long Professor Tesla has been missing, and Qiao Mu hasn't been there yet.
Zhang Ziyao: "..."
So Lomi just tricked him back as a fun toy and gave it to the professor?
I thought he had finally exploded in character!Zhang Ziyao's heart was greatly shocked, and he drank the lasagna silently. He swallowed a handful of bitter tears and said, "Why, Luomi is so good, it's too late for me to like it."
Lomi broke free from his master's arms.Its pointed ears moved, its pure white tail was raised high and swayed slowly with a certain rhythm, its furry head was tilted, and its blue eyes looked back and forth between Zhang Ziyao and the professor for a long time in doubt. , The half-understood look is very cute.
The professor called softly: "Luomi, be good, come back."
Hearing the master's call, Lomi's beautiful pointed ears trembled, and he quickly decided to give up thinking about things that he didn't understand. He let out a pleasant and sweet "meow" and jumped back gracefully. Professor arms.
"Please sit down, kid." The professor hugged Lomi, sat on the sofa, put Lomi on the warm and comfortable cushion, and said to Zhang Ziyao, "Don't be restrained."
Zhang Ziyao sat on the soft sofa, holding the hot scented tea made by the professor in his hand, thought for a while and said: "Hello, Professor Tesla. My name is Zhang Ziyao. I have some business to take the liberty to come here this time. I want to please you."
Zhang Ziyao looked at the professor's expression and saw that the professor didn't mean to refuse. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I have a friend who is in trouble. Well, it's not a friend from the earth, but a friend from the Virgo galaxy. friend."
The professor narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly, as if recalling something, he opened his eyes quickly and said, "An intelligent species from the Virgo galaxy? Plant? It's a tree, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Ziyao nodded quickly, and said pleasantly, "It's him."
The professor stroked Lomi's soft cat fur and said: "I can still teach him the history of the modern universe for half a school year, and I met him a few days ago. He is also a cute and well-behaved boy, what trouble is he? ?"
"He entered the active period half a year earlier." Seeing that Professor Tesla still remembered Qiao Mu, Zhang Ziyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Qiao Mu, he himself is worried that he will unconsciously attack humans after entering the dormant period, so we would like to ask for your help. "
"The dormant period before the active period is indeed a big trouble for Plant who lives alone on the earth." The professor nodded and thought for a long time, without saying yes or no, he just stood up and walked towards the room after speaking.
Zhang Ziyao anxiously waited for the professor to give Zhang Ziyao an answer, but saw the professor leave. Zhang Ziyao was in a hurry and couldn't care less, so he stood up and stopped the professor and said, "Professor, Qiao Mu has prepared a lot of materials. Just a few materials. Please help Qiao Mu, he doesn't want to hurt anyone!"
The professor blinked, looked at Zhang Ziyao innocently and said, "I'm going to prepare some things to take with me. You must know that the active period comes in advance, and the dormancy process is very fast."
Zhang Ziyao: "..."
Realizing that the elder had agreed to his request, Zhang Ziyao finally let go of the stone hanging in his heart, and said with a little ease in his voice, "I'll go find a taxi."
"Taxi?" The professor said with a smile in his voice, "Is it a means of transportation on Earth? But we don't seem to need it, right, Lomi?"
"Meow—" Lomi happily replied to the master.
Five minutes later, Zhang Ziyao and Professor Tesla stood at the door of Qiao Mu's house, and Lomi squatted obediently at the professor's feet.
Zhang Ziyao will probably never have the chance to ride the ultra-luxury autopiloted aircraft again in his life. He must keep this flight of less than one minute in his heart. Alien local tyrants and the like are the most annoying.
I opened the door with the key, and the curtains were drawn and the room was pitch black. Zhang Ziyao wanted to turn on the light, but he tripped over something and fell to the ground without pain.But the touch of the ground is very strange - not the touch of the floor that Zhang Ziyao is familiar with, but more uneven and rough, with distinct texture, like tree bark.
Zhang Ziyao was puzzled, the Qiao Mu family didn't have anything of this quality?
With a "pop", the professor turned on the light. Under the bright light, Zhang Ziyao stared at everything in front of him with his mouth wide open in surprise.
God, there is a huge plant standing in the center of the two-storey building. Several people hugged the thick tree trunk and pierced the ground between the two floors. The lush branches filled every corner of the ceiling, and the palm-sized The leaves hang down, the crown spreads wide, and you can pick it up if you reach out. The originally flat ground is also uneven due to the arches of the roots exposed outside the land.
It seems to be in a tropical rainforest, and many vines hanging from the branches slowly waving in the air with barbs as if they are always ready to hunt, give it a toughness that plants on the earth do not have.
The sparrows resting outside the yard, heard the movement, and flew into the house curiously.Then...then, the vines that were still twitching slowly were as fast as lightning for an instant, wrapped around the sparrow, and quickly let go in a few seconds, and then...a pile of bloody bones fell to the ground with crackling crackling.
part11
Zhang Ziyao swallowed his saliva.
Lomi, who was waving his little paws and trying to hook the vines, froze for a moment, his fleshy little paws were so frightened that they stopped motionless in mid-air, Zhang Ziyao hurriedly backed away holding the curious Lomi.
The professor frowned slightly, and asked him, "Can you find Qiao Mu?"
"I'll try." Zhang Ziyao tried to calm himself down, but the effect was undoubtedly minimal. He called out weakly, "Qiao Mu? Qiao Mu, where are you?"
Although the sound was small, it was very effective. The vines that were still waving in the air stopped instantly, as if they were frozen, obediently staying in mid-air.After a long time, a weak voice came from the direction of Qiao Mu's bedroom: "Zi Yao, you are finally here."
The professor nodded and said, "Should still be conscious."
After struggling to climb through the living room that has been transformed into a primitive deep forest, he came to Qiao Mu's bedroom. Qiao Mu was lying weakly on a thick branch, half of his body had already merged with the branch. Seeing Zhang Ziyao, he was miserable and powerless Said: "Zi Yao, you are finally here."
Seeing the professor walking in, the excitement in Qiao Mu's eyes flashed. He tried his best to cheer up but was still a little listless: "Hello, Professor Truss."
The professor approached with a smile and asked, "What stage has it reached? The second stage?"
Qiao Mu's joyful face drooped just now: "It's worse, in fact, I have been forced to lose consciousness for a while now, and it is at least the third stage now."
Professor Tesla comforted: "An early active period means that the dormant period will be faster and more difficult to resist. This is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry." After speaking, he took out the light blue reagent from the iron box that he carried and injected it In Qi Qiaomu's body, the professor said while injecting: "I just happened to have some of the medicine you mentioned.
The effect of the blue potion was obvious. Within a few minutes, Qiao Mu was much more energetic than before.The professor prepared some potions for Qiao Mu, and said somewhat reproachfully: "You should know that you belong to a more lethal species, which is different from other mild species. On the earth where technology and resources are scarce, for yourself and the people around you , you should pay more attention to the changes in your body. You know, no matter how suddenly the active period comes, there will always be some omens before."
Qiao Mu said shyly, "Professor, it's all my fault. I should pay more attention. I'm really sorry for your trouble."
Hey, hey... isn't the most troublesome person for you, the one who worked so hard to help you solve the problem?Zhang Ziyao looked at Qiao Mu in disbelief. Does this mean that Zhang Ziyao knows Qiao Mu?How could he have such a shy side!
Seeing his years of friendship and his pitiful appearance, Zhang Ziyao decided not to argue with him, and instead asked the professor: "How long will it take for Qiao Mu to go through the entire dormant period and the active period?
The professor thought for a while and replied: "It may take a little more than a week, but the most dangerous dormant period of unconsciousness only takes about three days. But I can prepare medicine for him to keep him conscious during the dormant period. But Since his body has already taken root here, I will expand the space here so that he can spend his active period here, and there is no need to move it to other places.”
Fortunately, there were only two days, Zhang Ziyao thought happily, thinking of the way the plant stretched its teeth and claws just now, he couldn't match that fierce plant with the person in front of him.Just looking at the reddish mucus that was still flowing back from the vines of the tree, Zhang Ziyao also knew how powerful the body of the tree was. He couldn't help telling Qiao Mu carefully, "You have to be extra careful these two days."
Qiao Mu didn't answer Zhang Ziyao directly, but looked at Zhang Ziyao silently, with deep guilt in his eyes.
Zhang Ziyao suddenly had a bad feeling: "No way—"
Qiao Mu's hands turned into vines and clung to Zhang Ziyao's hand tightly, and said apologetically, "Ziyao, I was forced into a dormant period and lost consciousness for only a few minutes. As soon as I regained consciousness, I found him wrapped in my hair .”
"Where is he?" Zhang Ziyao asked calmly, in fact Zhang Ziyao was surprised that he could still remain calm under such a situation.
Several vines fluttered a grown man floating in front of Zhang Ziyao, and it happened that Zhang Ziyao happened to know who he was.He helped Qiao Mu visit the flower shop for a while, and this person was one of the regular customers.But Zhang Ziyao would rather he didn't know, because that man is a policeman, if it was someone else, he could still cheat. Now you want him to cheat a people's policeman?
Zhang Ziyao silently looked at the unconscious man on the ground, he wondered if he should be glad that he was still alive from his heaving chest?
Qiao Mu seemed to understand Zhang Ziyao's eyes, and quickly explained: "I found out very quickly, he just passed out and was not injured."
Zhang Ziyao looked at Qiao Mu helplessly, and didn't know what to do for a while. Seeing Professor Tesla who was leisurely dispensing medicine, this very reliable elder, Zhang Ziyao immediately cheekily looked at Tess pitifully. Professor La: "Professor, what can you do?"
Professor Tesla was comforting Luo Mi, who was a little anxious. Seeing Zhang Ziyao looking at him, he laughed and said, "I can't help it either! All equipment and medicines that affect human memory are contraband. I They didn't bring any of them."
An excuse, the ultra-luxury self-guided aircraft, which surpasses the existing human civilization for decades, is also a contraband, okay?Zhang Ziyao turned his head and looked at Qiao Mu depressedly. Qiao Mu hesitated and said, "Maybe he didn't see anything."
Zhang Ziyao looked at him quietly and said, "What do you think?"
At this time, the professor suddenly interjected: "Maybe it's really possible! According to my analysis, the smell secreted by the tree itself has a strong hallucinogenic effect. Lomi and I are naturally resistant. It is very likely that you have not been affected. Because I'm used to being by Qiao Mu's side, but he's just an ordinary human being, and he might have been affected by hallucinogens the moment he came in."
The faint and pleasant smell that Qiao Mu has always had turned out to be a hallucinogen!
He actually took hallucinogens without knowing it!No wonder he wanted to find Qiao Mu every day when he first met Qiao Mu!
Zhang Ziyao took a deep breath, trying to maintain his calm, and tried to say to Qiao Mu in a peaceful tone: "I will take him to the yard, and you close the door. Remember not to let him in to see The situation inside. Let me see how much he has seen!"
"What if he saw everything?" Qiao Mu said worriedly.
"Then you pray that you can shut his mouth and tie him up." Zhang Ziyao said viciously, "Don't let him step out of this yard."
With the help of Qiao Mu, Zhang Ziyao put the policeman by the fish pond in the yard.Then he shut the gate to the yard, lest the poor man should run out of the yard screaming the instant he woke up.After doing all this, Zhang Ziyao said to a small vine climbing on a rose, "I know this is you, Qiao Mu. You must play by ear!"
The tender green vines were silent for a long time before trembling their slender bodies in the autumn wind.Zhang Ziyao took a deep breath, prepared himself adequately, and tried to put on a worried look. He shook the poor policeman's shoulder and said, "Wake up, what's wrong with you?"
After a few rough and violent shakings, the unknown policeman finally opened his eyes slowly, and asked in confusion, "Where is this?"
"I'm a friend of the owner of this room. I found you lying here when I came in. What happened?" Zhang Ziyao pretended to be calm and tried to make himself look very innocent, although his heart was beating like a drum.
The policeman rubbed his forehead, and said intermittently as if he was trying to recall: "I—I—I remembered!"
Zhang Ziyao was so nervous that his heart seemed to jump out of his throat in the next second. Although he talked aggressively to Qiao Mu, Zhang Ziyao actually had no bottom in his heart. He didn't want to be imprisoned for assaulting the police at all.
——Finally, he raised his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I saw that the owner of the flower shop didn't open the door today, and the courtyard door was open again, so I came in. After that... I don't remember."
Just don't remember!
Zhang Ziyao finally let go of his gripping heart, and said in an extremely honest and credible tone: "I found you fainted here as soon as I came in. You probably fainted as soon as you came in. Are you too tired recently, so you just passed out?" ..."
He scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "I didn't sleep all night last night. I just wanted to take advantage of the time to come here to buy a little friend for Xiaoxian to accompany her back."
"Xiaoxian?" Zhang Ziyao didn't quite understand, "Are you my pet?"
"That's right!" He smiled and said, "It's a very cute cactus."
He patted the dust on his clothes, propped it up with one hand, and said neatly, "Hello, my name is Wu Yifeng, and I'm a policeman from the police station in this street. This time, I'm really bothering you. You can come to me if you have anything to do in the future." I."
"Hi, I'm Zhang Ziyao, the owner of this store is Qiao Mu's friend." Zhang Ziyao also quickly introduced himself.
"I know you. You always help Boss Qiao look after the store. But there are so many customers, you probably don't remember me." Wu Yifeng smiled at Zhang Ziyao and said, "I seem to have been dizzy for a long time. My friend If I can't find it, I should be anxious, and I should go."
Looking at him, Zhang Ziyao kindly suggested, "Would you like to go to the hospital for a checkup?" After all, he just escaped from Qiao Mu's clutches.
Wu Yifeng nodded heartily and said: "Yes, I feel that my body is really uncomfortable recently! But I'm not in a hurry, I'd better find my friend first, I bought a pot of flowers and haven't gone back for so long, he now They must have scolded me to death.”
Wu Yifeng raised his foot and was about to walk towards the iron gate of the yard. Zhang Ziyao immediately opened the gate for him courteously.
Wu Yifeng walked to the door, but suddenly stopped, as if hesitating for something.
— Did he remember something?
Zhang Ziyao's heart, which had just returned to normal, began to beat wildly again. He looked at Wu Yifeng nervously, afraid that he would say something that he didn't want to hear now.
Wu Yifeng hesitated for a long time, and Zhang Ziyao also trembled in fear for a long time, then he scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "You are a friend of the owner of this flower shop, right? He—he hasn't opened much shop recently, what happened to him?" Are you in trouble?"
Zhang Ziyao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, tried his best to put on a smiling face and said to him, "You mean Qiao Mu? He went on a trip recently, and I'm afraid he won't be back for a long time."
"Oh, that's it." Wu Yifeng lowered his head and seemed a little disappointed, then quickly said with a bright smile, "It's as good as he didn't encounter any trouble!"
part12
Police officer Wu Yifeng was unexpectedly easy to deal with, which finally made Zhang Ziyao feel a lot better.It's just that after the time for the potion to take effect, Qiao Mu was lying powerlessly on a branch and looked very painful, which made him a little more worried.
The professor just told Zhang Ziyao that Plante has a very strong desire for sleep during the dormant period. Although Plante can remain conscious after the injection of that drug, it is like forcing a person who is extremely sleepy to stay awake. For Plant, it was a huge mental torture.
Seeing his friend enduring such great pain, Zhang Ziyao had no choice but to feel bad all of a sudden. He walked gently to Qiao Mu, hoping to give him support and strength.
Sensing Zhang Ziyao's approach, a vertical ladder made of palm-width vines hangs down from the branch where the arbor is.As soon as Zhang Ziyao looked up, he saw Qiao Mu barely raised his head but gave Zhang Ziyao a bright smile.Zhang Ziyao climbed up the ladder at night, and then sat next to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu quietly moved to the side to make room for him.
Qiao Mu is just like that—strong and optimistic.
Qiao Mu would sometimes talk about his past and his friends, but Zhang Ziyao knew his past and was as relaxed and happy as he said.Because Qiao Mu probably didn't realize how dim and sad he would become when he talked about those bright eyes that used to be him.
But Qiao Mu never complained about anything, he took care of every plant in the store tenderly and received every customer every day.When Zhang Ziyao first came into contact with those visitors from distant spaces, he didn't understand anything.Old Liu is very busy, and Zhang Ziyao rarely gets in touch with him. Most of his understanding of this vast starry sky comes from this person in front of him.
This man was his mentor, his friend.
Zhang Ziyao hugged Qiao Mu silently, allowing Qiao Mu's head to rest on his shoulder, trying to hope that this would make Qiao Mu feel more comfortable.Qiao Mu smiled and leaned forward. In fact, Qiao Mu was half a head taller than Zhang Ziyao, and his shoulders were also higher than Zhang Ziyao when he was sitting. The posture was uncomfortable, but he was very relieved. It can become the main body and stretch out a bit.”
"Then you can enjoy it." Zhang Ziyao pretended to be relaxed and said, "There are not a few days like this."
"So it's not that bad, is it?" Qiao Mu said as he looked at Zhang Ziyao with gentle eyes like the spring breeze in March.
"I—" Zhang Ziyao's heart moved slightly, and he was about to say something, but was interrupted by Professor Tesla.
"Children, I have to disturb your sweet moment!" Professor Tesla shouted helplessly standing under the tree, "I think we have encountered a little trouble."
"What's the matter? Professor." Hearing that the professor said he was in trouble, Zhang Ziyao hurriedly climbed down the wooden ladder and asked.
"Arbor's dormancy period is more intense than I thought." The professor paused, as if he was considering his words, and then continued: "This means that my inhibitor can't keep arbor awake during the entire dormancy period." .”
"Does this mean that Qiao Mu needs another injection?" Zhang Ziyao thought about the meaning of the professor's words, and asked tentatively.
"Probably that's what it means. But we may need more than one supplementary injection." The professor shrugged. "In fact, I don't know when the medicine will expire, and when he needs to replenish the medicine."
Qiao Mu asked worriedly, "Is this troublesome, professor?" Zhang Ziyao also looked at the professor worriedly.
The professor comforted and said: "It's not a big trouble, as long as someone is by Qiao Mu's side all the time, it will be enough to give him a supplement when something is wrong. However, if it is not supplemented in time, the consequences will be very serious, and you will never be able to wake up from dormancy again." .”
Zhang Ziyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as I stay with him, there will be no problem, right?"
The professor hesitated for a while and said, "Theoretically so."
"Theoretically?" Zhang Ziyao asked nervously, "Is there any potential danger?"
Qiao Mu sighed and said, "Zi Yao, my dormancy period is three days, three full days, can you stay with me for three days without sleep?"
"That's the problem." Professor Truss nodded and said, "In fact, my suggestion is that I accompany Qiao Mu. My physiological structure determines that I can go without sleep for a long time, and I also know better how to operate the medicine. "
Qiao Mu said in surprise, "Really, Professor!"
"As you can see." The professor blinked: "There seems to be no more suitable candidate than me."
Qiao Mu's eyes were almost about to burst into real light, and he said excitedly: "That's great, Professor. You were my idol in the academy, it's really - it's such an honor!"
Seeing Qiao Mu's excited look, Zhang Ziyao silently swallowed the words "Professor, what a shame."Zhang Ziyao turned to ask the professor: "Professor, is three days too long? Do you want me and you to take turns taking care of Qiao Mu?"
——Although the professor himself said that there is no problem, the professor looks like an old man after all.
The professor seemed to see Zhang Ziyao's concern, and explained: "The physiological structure of our race determines that we don't need to sleep every day."
Hearing what the professor said, Zhang Ziyao felt relieved.
After Qiao Mu's condition became more stable, Zhang Ziyao bid farewell to Qiao Mu, the professor, and Luo Mi. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
After returning home, Zhang Ziyao was lying on the sofa with his blood tank completely empty, and his stomach was throbbing. Only then did he realize that he was busy with two non-human beings all day, and he only ate half an apple at noon, not to mention Say dinner.
But let's not say that he doesn't want to move at all now, and even if he can move, he doesn't want to eat the food he cooked after a hard day!Although he has never admitted it to the outside world, he also understands that the dishes he cooks are barely up to the standard of "cooked".
Ji Xiao, who was still wandering in the living room, was startled when he saw Zhang Ziyao like this, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Ziyao held on to the hem of his clothes as if seeing a savior, looked up miserable and said, "I'm so hungry, so hungry, I'm so hungry."
Ji Xiao took a few steps back subconsciously, and said vigilantly, "Go and eat if you're hungry."
Zhang Ziyao just pretended he didn't hear it, and continued to tug at the hem of his clothes, yelling, "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry." Once you don't agree, he doesn't let go
Ji Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Understood, I'll cook dumplings now. I really owe you in my previous life!"
After hearing a satisfactory answer, Zhang Ziyao immediately let go, sat up, and said to Ji Xiao with a sweet smile: "I want the shepherd's purse and pork stuffing, and don't put chili in the dipping sauce—"
Unable to bear it, Ji Xiao blocked his ears and walked towards the kitchen.
In fact, it's really strange to say that among the three of them who have been stocked for a long time, the one who cooks the best and does all the housework is Xiao Jixiao. The dumplings of the same brand, Ji Xiao's cooking is better than his and his cousin's cooking eat.
Soon the aroma of dumplings wafted from the kitchen, and Zhang Ziyao, who smelled the aroma, immediately broke away from the state of pretending to be dead.Xiao Jixiao put a plate of dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and pork in front of Zhang Ziyao heavily. Zhang Ziyao didn't care at all and asked, "Where are the dipping ingredients?"
Xiao Jixiao shook his head as if he couldn't stand Zhang Ziyao, and went back to the kitchen to bring another small plate of dipping sauce and chopsticks without chili.
Zhang Ziyao swallowed a plate of dumplings like a storm, and felt that he had returned to the world.After eating, Zhang Ziyao thought of asking: "Where is my cousin? Has he come back?"
"He called at noon and said that he might not be back tonight." Ji Xiao complained, "You too! Where did you go, and you won't see anyone all afternoon."
Zhang Ziyao took out his mobile phone and found that the phone had run out of power at some point. Zhang Ziyao blinked and said to Ji Xiao, "Hey! Ji Xiao, your mouth doesn't stink anymore!"
Ji Xiao immediately darkened his face, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "It's not me!"
"Cut." Zhang Ziyao yawned and said, "Who would it be if it wasn't you." Zhang Ziyao, who successfully changed the subject, didn't care whether Ji Xiao's mouth stinks or not.
"I didn't!" Ji Xiao's face became darker.
"It's you."
……
Leaning on the sofa, he continued the unnutritious conversation with Ji Xiao. Zhang Ziyao's eyelids gradually became heavy, and he couldn't help closing his eyes. Ji Xiao's energetic voice slowly became more and more intense. The farther it gets, the more peaceful it is, only to hear Ji Xiao's complaint indistinctly - "Really, I fell asleep." Then after a jolt, I was in a familiar soft and warm place again.
part13
The morning sun gently shone into the room from the side of the half-drawn beige double-layer curtains, drawing the shadow of the desk beside it into a thin strip.The warm sunshine shone on Zhang Ziyao's tightly closed eyes, and the slight tingling sensation made Zhang Ziyao, who was half asleep and half awake, very annoying. Zhang Ziyao got up in a daze, rubbed his eyes, and sat for a long time hugging the quilt for a long time. I just remembered that I am at home now.
Yesterday—yesterday, I remembered.Shouldn't he still be on the sofa!Looking at the familiar soft bed lying under him, the vague memory gradually returned, Zhang Ziyao remembered that it was Ji Xiao who moved him back to the room and covered him with a quilt last night.
I didn't expect Ji Xiao to be so careful, and the little kid has grown up!
Zhang Ziyao felt a little emotional in his heart, and decided to treat Ji Xiao better in the future.
After washing up, Zhang Ziyao looked at his watch. It was already 07:30. Usually at this time, Xiao Shuqian had already gotten up and was preparing breakfast.He rested too early yesterday, he didn't even know when Xiao Shuqian would come back.
Zhang Ziyao rushed to the kitchen excitedly, but the kitchen was empty.
——Has Xiao Shuqian not come back?
Zhang Ziyao thought suspiciously, and ran back to Xiao Shuqian's room again. Sure enough, Xiao Shuqian's quilt was neatly folded, and there was no sign of sleeping at all.
Cousin really didn't come back last night?Zhang Ziyao slowly closed the door of Xiao Shuqian's room with some discomfort in his heart, pulled the pillow on the sofa and sat down on the soft sofa dejectedly.
It's as if it's never been like this in memory!Zhang Ziyao couldn't help thinking, it seemed that in his memory, as long as he was at home, Xiao Shuqian would sleep in the room next to him, and as long as he got up, there would be breakfast prepared by Xiao Shuqian on the table.This seems to have become a habit, even Zhang Ziyao just realized that he didn't know when it started, as long as he was at home, the first thing he did when he got up was to look for his cousin.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Zhang Ziyao told himself not to think about it again.
After all, they have all grown up and have their own lives.
Walking into the kitchen, Zhang Ziyao absently took out the quick-frozen buttered steamed buns and steamed buns from the refrigerator, put them on the steamer, and finally made breakfast after breaking a few plates.Unwilling to stay at home and think wildly, after setting aside enough breakfast for Ji Xiao, Zhang Ziyao packed more than enough breakfast in a lunch box and prepared to send it to Professor Qiao Mu and Luo Mi.
Qiao Mu's home is not far from Zhang Ziyao, only three or four bus stops away.Just far away from Qiao Mu's courtyard, Zhang Ziyao saw police officer Wu Yifeng walking back and forth outside Qiao Mu's courtyard, Zhang Ziyao was a little vigilant, he must have suddenly remembered something!
Zhang Ziyao made up his mind that no matter what Wu Yifeng thought of, he was going to beat him to death and refuse to admit it. Seeing that Wu Yifeng had also found him, Zhang Ziyao simply went up to him, pretending to be surprised, and said, "Officer Wu, why are you here?"
Seeing him, Wu Yifeng scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Today, some nearby residents complained that there were some strange noises in Boss Qiao's house. I was afraid that Boss Qiao's house would be broken into when he was traveling, so I came to have a look. "
Zhang Ziyao frowned, with a vague premonition in his heart.The professor clearly said that the tree of the drug will remain awake after injection, so it should not make violent noises.Moreover, the sound insulation effect of Qiao Mu's house itself is also very good. The sound insulation materials are all imported aliens. Even if there are firecrackers inside, as long as there is a wall, you should not be able to hear it.How could it alarm the people nearby!
Zhang Ziyao felt a little anxious, and wanted to go in and take a look. Seeing the man in front of him, he just wanted to get rid of him quickly, so he made an excuse and said: "The security here is always good, and the Qiao Mu family has nothing but flowers and plants. Valuable things should not go into thieves. Maybe they are wild cats, before Qiao Mu left, he complained to me that there are always wild cats running into the yard recently."
Wu Yifeng didn't seem to believe it: "There are no wild cats around here."
Zhang Ziyao said anxiously, "Maybe he came from somewhere else."
"Meow—" A familiar meow suddenly came from the yard.
—This is Lomi's cry.
Zhang Ziyao immediately said to Wu Yifeng, "Listen, right?"
Wu Yifeng still had doubts in his heart, but he sensed Zhang Ziyao's impatience and heard the cat meowing in the yard, so he hesitated and said, "Then I'll go first, and call me if there is anything." After speaking, he took out a pen and paper from his coat pocket, wrote the number and handed it to Zhang Ziyao.
Zhang Ziyao just wanted to go in quickly to see what happened. He was anxious in his heart, why would he want to read Wu Yifeng's note, but he just took the note, glanced at it casually and said perfunctorily: "Okay, I will contact you if something happens."
After confirming that Wu Yifeng had gone far away, Zhang Ziyao opened the courtyard door anxiously.
The yard was in a mess, and Zhang Ziyao cried out inwardly.
Luo Mi in the yard anxiously paced back and forth in the yard. When he saw Zhang Ziyao, he immediately bit Zhang Ziyao's trousers and carried him into the room.Zhang Ziyao took a closer look, Luomi's blue-gray hair was tangled with dried blood, there were a few deep bloodstains under the hair, his front paw was also injured, and he limped while walking, looking extremely embarrassed , Where is the elegant look yesterday.
Heartbroken, Zhang Ziyao quickly hugged Luo Mi, and hurried towards the house.The door that was closed well before leaving tomorrow is now ajar.Zhang Ziyao already understood most of it in his heart.
——Is something wrong indeed!
Zhang Ziyao ran into the living room.The huge plant was still entrenched in the living room, but most of the branches had already been cut off, and the broken branches and leaves scattered all over the ground made the giant tree look extremely embarrassed.The black scorched marks after the flames covered most of the branches of the giant tree, making it even more horrible to look at. The vines that were still clawing and clawing yesterday fell all over the living room, and the only remaining vines on the tree became sparse and clumsy.Zhang Ziyao bypassed the few remaining vines, staggered the space barrier arranged by the professor, and ran anxiously to the room where Qiao Mu was.
In the room, Qiao Mu collapsed on the spot unconscious, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. Zhang Ziyao felt his heartbeat suddenly stop, his mind went blank, and he ran over as if he just came to his senses in the next second, his hands trembling. He lifted Qiao Mu up until he felt the core still beating under his skin, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
——Fortunately, fortunately, Qiao Mu is still alive.
With such ups and downs in emotions, Zhang Ziyao was stunned for a moment.It wasn't until he felt something soft and warm pushing him under his feet that Zhang Ziyao came back to his senses again, and saw Luo Mi's anxious green eyes.
Where is the professor?Where is the professor?
Zhang Ziyao got up in a hurry, and couldn't find Professor Tesla after searching all over. Thinking of the consequences of the discontinuation of the medicine that the professor said yesterday, he quickly took out the one that the professor specially asked him to identify yesterday from Professor Tesla's pile of reagents. Not caring much, he plunged into Qiao Mu's pale body.
Seeing the light blue potion slowly being injected into Qiao Mu's body, he just sat down on the ground in a daze.
——Qiao Mu is in a coma, and the professor is missing!
What the hell happened last night!
I don't know how long Professor Tesla has been missing, and Qiao Mu hasn't been there yet.
