Chapter 32 The fishmonger is not simple
Linjiang City.
Yuewan Community.
Yang Fan muttered to himself, "Li Jian thought I could only show myself as a crow, but in fact, I can also show myself as a cat."
He was lazily lying on the sofa, looking at the little girl in front of him through the perspective of Furry Kid No. 3.
The little girl's name is Xiang Mengmeng, she is seven years old and lives in Room 601 downstairs.
Man as his name suggests.
The little girl is really cute, especially when her big eyes twinkle, she looks particularly adorable.
Her mother divorced a few years ago, and now the mother and daughter depend on each other.
Right now is an extraordinary period and life is very difficult for both of them.
Yang Fan had no idea how many times he had "eavesdropped" on Xiang Mengmeng and her mother calculating how to save money or how to arrange their daily meals.
Honestly.
It's really sad to hear a little girl say something like "Mom, I didn't do much exercise today, so I can eat less."
After all, he is not a heartless person, so it is hard not to be moved by it.
At this moment.
A little girl and a cat looked at each other through the window glass.
This picture seems a bit warm.
Yang Fan looked at the little girl through the peephole and smiled: "Knock on the door... No, knock on the window."
Furry Kid No. 3 raised a cat paw and knocked on the glass twice, neither lightly nor heavily.
"Bang! Bang!"
Xiang Mengmeng blinked her big eyes and asked, "Are you cold, cat? Do you want to come in and warm up?"
The tabby cat nodded its head vigorously: "Meow!"
Xiang Mengmeng was surprised: "Can you understand what I'm saying?"
The little girl quickly opened the window a crack and waved to the tabby cat: "Cat, come in quickly."
The tabby cat did not come in and still stood on the windowsill.
Xiang Mengmeng urged: "Come quickly!"
Yang Fan smiled slightly: "Although life is a bit bitter, it should be a bit sweet occasionally."
The tabby cat meowed, as if repeating this sentence.
It immediately picked up a 200-gram bag of gummy candies, shook its head and threw it into the window.
Candy snacks like gummy candies are considered special commodities at Daxia Shangtong, and only those diagnosed with malnutrition by the hospital will be given a purchasing quota.
There are thousands of packs of gummy candies stored in the Space Pearl, and giving one pack away is just a drop in the bucket.
The little girl looked at the candy, then at the cat, her little head in a state of confusion: "Cat, what are you doing?"
Yang Fan smiled again and said, "You should also eat some meat and supplement some protein so that you can grow taller."
The tabby cat then raised one of its paws and gestured "grow taller": "Meow~"
It picked up another fish, weighing about one pound, and threw it into the window swiftly.
Although Daxia Shangtong supplies meat, the supply is very small and the price is very high. The mother and daughter have not tasted meat for quite some time.
Xiang Mengmeng was even more confused.
A cat suddenly appeared, knocked on her window, and brought candy and fish. For a little girl, this was too magical.
Her little brain couldn't handle this and was on the verge of crashing.
Yang Fan added: "Remember to remind her to close the window."
The tabby cat meowed again, slapped the glass with its paw, and made a "closing window" gesture.
Xiang Mengmeng understood the action, followed the instruction foolishly, and reached out to close the window.
at this time.
Suddenly a voice came from above.
"Shh!"
This is the window being opened.
A head popped out.
It was the beautiful long-legged girl—Zhao Xiaoying.
The tabby cat instinctively raised its head, and its eyes met the beautiful eyes of the long-legged girl. Both the man and the cat were stunned for a moment.
When Yang Fan suddenly saw this pretty face, he was a little confused.
When did the long-legged girl show up?
Why didn’t I hear any movement from her downstairs?
He immediately realized that the other person must have been sitting by the windowsill for quite a while, and only opened the window and looked out of curiosity after hearing the frequent cat meows below.
Yang Fan came back to his senses and ordered, "Retreat!"
The tabby cat pushed the ground with its hind legs and jumped down from a height of more than ten meters.
It flew more than twenty meters in the air and accurately grabbed a branch, using it to relieve a considerable amount of the force.
It jumped to another branch, completed the force unloading again, then leaped onto the surface of the tree trunk and quickly disappeared into the green belt.
This set of movements was completed with extreme smoothness, a true "cat master" style.
Eighth floor.
When Zhao Xiaoying witnessed this scene, her red lips suddenly opened into an "O" shape.
Oh my God!
Isn’t this cat amazing?!
A thought popped into her mind: "A fishmonger with unique skills, a sparrow that can dance ballet, and a cat that can fly over eaves and walls, what kind of Daxia is this?"
After a while.
Zhao Xiaoying saw a familiar figure walking quickly over from the street below. The fishmonger!
She muttered quietly, "Why did he go out after eight o'clock today?"
Zhao Xiaoying looked at the place where the tabby cat disappeared, and her expression was a little subtle: "Why do I feel that this cat is related to the fishmonger?"
She couldn't explain why, she just had a strange intuition.
Her eyes flickered. "Other people can't afford to keep a cat, but the fishmonger is quite capable. He often carries fish in buckets, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to keep a cat."
Zhao Xiaoying watched the fisherman's back disappear, then sat down again and started checking the news on her mobile phone.
five minutes later.
A piece of news from Tintra caught her attention.
"A swarm of poisonous mosquitoes broke out in the Carido wetlands, killing hundreds of people overnight and causing tens of thousands to abandon their homes and flee."
The news was also accompanied by a picture.
Although the image was blurred, it was still vaguely recognizable that it was a corpse that was so swollen that it made people feel sick.
Zhao Xiaoying was shocked: "Is the situation in Tintra so bad?"
She suddenly felt thankful from the bottom of her heart: "Fortunately, Dad acted decisively and brought the whole family back to Daxia."
Can be imagined.
Faced with the series of tragedies, the more than 20 million people of Tintla must have felt a strong panic.
Unfortunately, the Tintra government did nothing. If the family continued to stay in Tintra, they would definitely be in fear day and night.
Zhao Xiaoying sighed, put her phone in her pocket, turned around and called out, "Xiaolong, walk with me downstairs."
The response came immediately.
"No! It's too cold outside."
Zhao Xiaoying narrowed her eyes and laughed: "I'll give you a chance to reconsider."
The brother and sister looked at each other for a moment.
The younger brother Zhao Xiaolong's calves trembled a few times, and finally gave in: "Okay, I'll go. I'll put on my hat and gloves first."
Zhao Xiaoying warned: "Don't dawdle!"
Zhao Xiaolong quickly quickened his pace: "How could I dawdle?"
soon.
The brother and sister came out of Building 12.
Zhao Xiaoying took a few steps and glanced down at the snow: "These seem to be the footprints of a fishmonger."
With her personality, she would never pay attention to such small details.
But for some reason, she always felt that the fishmonger had an inexplicable magic.
So this girl always paid special attention to him, and even remembered the footprints left by him clearly.
Zhao Xiaoying took a few more steps, then suddenly squatted down, touched her own footprints with her hand, and then touched the fishmonger's footprints.
Her brows furrowed slightly: "Something's wrong."
Zhao Xiaolong leaned over to take a look and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Zhao Xiaoying shook her head: "It's okay, let's go."
Zhao Xiaolong knew that something must have happened to his sister, but her fighting power was too strong and the child didn't dare to ask.
Zhao Xiaoying kept walking, wondering: "The fishmonger is a head taller than me and weighs a lot more than me, so why are his footprints about the same depth as mine?"
She suddenly stopped, picked up a ball of snow with her toes, turned around and did a roundhouse kick.
"Snapped!"
Accurate hit on the instep.
Snowflakes flew in all directions, with the farthest reaching more than ten meters away.
It can be seen how powerful this kick was.
Zhao Xiaolong shuddered as he watched, thinking to himself, "Violent women are becoming more and more terrifying."
Zhao Xiaoying nodded in satisfaction and said, "Xiaolong, when the fishmonger comes back, you go to buy fish. Do you understand?"
Zhao Xiaolong thought of the extremely powerful spinning kick just now and let out an obedient "Oh".
In fact, he really wanted to say, "As long as you show off your long legs or big bear, the fishmonger will definitely give you a few fish, why don't you go?"
*
The gate of the community.
Through the sparrow's perspective, Yang Fan clearly saw the scene of "the long-legged girl squatting down to touch the footprints."
He was a little surprised: "The difference in the footprints is so small, Zhao Xiaoying can tell it? This girl has a very good eye!"
Yang Fan scratched his head again: "Why do I feel like this long-legged girl seems to be eyeing me?"
He sighed softly: "You are a beautiful girl, why don't you go and have a good relationship and enjoy your youth? Why are you paying attention to a fishmonger like me?"
His hearing was much better than a dog's. He must have known that the other party often muttered "fishmonger".
An hour and a half later.
Yang Fan took a subway and then a bus and arrived at the western suburbs of Linjiang City.
It took so long because the subway company cut train services by half in order to save electricity.
In order to save resources, gasoline prices skyrocketed several times. Not many people could afford to drive fuel vehicles, and a large number of vehicles were sold cheaply to the national recycling company established by Daxia.
Trams haven’t fared much better due to limited electricity supply, with many either sitting idle or sold to national recycling companies.
More and more people are turning to public transportation or riding bicycles.
At this moment.
Yang Fan observed the wilderness in front of him and chuckled, "Today we can gather enough source energy points to fuse superpowers."
An area a few kilometers ahead was the second mosquito egg gathering point he discovered.
