Every day is one step closer to reality

The transfer of the house went smoothly. Lu Yue did not set any traps in the terms of the contract, probably because he still had to find Feng Yi to identify the leather of the goods, so he didn't play any tricks.

Xue Lin left after completing the formalities. This time he didn't see any reluctance.

This house in Yuexiu Community has truly changed its owner.

Now that the owner has changed, Feng Yi plans to officially move.

He did not make large-scale changes to the house. The interior decoration was slightly adjusted according to his own habits and preferences. Electrical appliances and furniture that needed to be replaced were also replaced. Most of the furniture that was replaced was highly waterproof.

On the day of the official move, Feng Yi invited Wu Ji and Qian Feiyang to visit their new residence and get familiar with the place. We are all old friends, so we can't hide the move without telling anyone. This time it was a clear path.

Wu Ji still didn't give up on the small rural villa and planned to go over and take a good look at it this time.

As for Qian Feiyang, he was not interested in the house. What he was curious about was Feng Yi's special ability. After hearing Wu Ji talk about Feng Yi's olfactory talent, he has been curious about it.

"It's the kind on TV where you cooperate with awesome people like the police and detectives, and when you encounter a big case, they call you to help. That kind of way to make money?"

Feng Yi: "...No."

If Qian Feiyang knew that he initially relied on his olfactory hypersensitivity to catch mice, would he feel low?

Feng Yi explained that he earned money from appraising snake skins for people and took the path of commercial cooperation.

When he heard that they were just identifying snake skins, Qian Feiyang was no longer interested. He also heard from Feng Yi that the house he bought was close to the reserve and the environment was very good. He planned to take some photos.

After waiting for the destination, the two truly understood what Feng Yi meant by "a little off".

Wu Ji looked at the big house in front of him tangledly, "Although it's remote and there are insects and snakes, the house is really nice, with a large building area and a front and back yard. I like this!"

Feng Yi had already found someone to tidy up the front yard, and it didn't look messy. The flowers in the flower bed were also planted by Xue Lin before, so he didn't spend any time arranging new flower seeds.

The front yard is responsible for welcoming guests, while the back yard is Feng Yi's own territory. After all, he slept there every night. Of course, you can do whatever makes you feel comfortable at home.

Wu Ji glanced at the backyard and said to Feng Yi: "Don't just renovate the front yard, also renovate the backyard and plant some plants that repel insects and snakes. It will be safer that way."

Feng Yi: "...Yeah."

In fact, there used to be a lot of seeds here, but I pulled them all out.

But none of this can be said explicitly.

Qian Feiyang was not interested in the house, so he and Wu Ji helped Feng Yi place household appliances. During the break, he opened his work bag and planned to go to the river to take photos.

"By the river? I'll go too!" Wu Ji walked out and said, "Feng Yi, you don't seem to see any mosquitoes here, or are there no mosquitoes in broad daylight?"

As soon as Feng Yi heard Wu Ji say "mosquito", he remembered something that Xue Lin had mentioned when he told him about the precautions for living here.

"You guys wait a minute."

Feng Yi took out the medicine box, which contained some insect repellent water and ointment, which Xue Lin suggested he prepare.

"If you go to the river, spray some repellent water there. There will be mosquitoes there during the day. Oh, this can also prevent tick bites." Feng Yi said.

Wu Ji and Qian Feiyang, who were about to go out, were both stunned.

"Tick... tick?" Wu Ji stuttered, "Is it the kind of bug mentioned in the news, the one that burrows its head into the skin and sucks blood?"

Qian Feiyang was looking at the camera with a stiff expression, looking at Feng Yi, waiting for Feng Yi's answer.

The reason why they are so sensitive to this bug is because of a news reported in Yueshan last week. Someone did not take anti-mosquito measures and ran wild in the wild wearing short-sleeved shorts. Then he went to the hospital lying down. He had a fever and coughed up blood with platelets. Reduction syndrome was eventually diagnosed as being caused by a tick bite.

Not everyone will encounter this situation, but it is indeed a vector for many pathogens, so it is better to be prepared.

Wu Ji and Qian Feiyang couldn't guarantee that they would always be lucky, and a few days after the news came out, they still clearly remembered the appearance of the insect after sucking blood. When they thought of that scene, they shivered unconsciously.

Feng Yi continued: "Don't be afraid, just spray on this repellent water. The long-sleeved and long pants you wore today should be fine. Even if you are bitten, there is a clinic nearby that specializes in treating tick bites. Let it cut its head off inside your skin."

However, tick bites here are more common among pets than people. Of course, there is no need to say this, it will scare the two of them.

Speaking of ticks, what impressed Feng Yi the most was the Harder's organ they use to locate "prey", which he saw when he was searching for knowledge about chemoreceptors and the vomeronasal organ.

Feng Yi took out the potion and looked up to see that the two people looked unnatural.

Wu Ji took back his step out of the door, "Well, I think it's better to visit your new house. It's not suitable to go out in such a strong sun."

Qian Feiyang played with the camera in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and put it away. When I came here just now, I took a quick look at the scenery by the river. In fact, it is not that attractive. To take nature photos, I would rather go to the Yueshan Tourist Scenic Area. There are regular insecticides there.

"Don't the properties here spray insect repellent over there?" Wu Ji was puzzled.

"There is still spraying in the community and surrounding areas, but less spraying along the river. Nowadays, insect repellent is strictly controlled along the river bank, and property owners do not dare to spray indiscriminately." Feng Yi explained.

Wu Ji...Wu Ji felt that the dream aura of the "country villa" had dissipated a lot.

Not only to protect against snakes, but also against ticks.

horrible.

But I am still very interested in this kind of big house.

Wu Ji helped Feng Yi move the objects while looking at the structure of the house.

"basement?"

When walking towards the basement, Wu Ji got excited when he heard Feng Yi say that there was a relatively large basement down there. Places like basements always have some mystery in movies and TV dramas. What does the basement of a villa in such a remote area look like?

Wu Ji stepped into the basement. Before he had time to study the basement, he first saw a stack of books on the shelf.

"What is this?" Wu Ji took a book and looked through it, his face even more confused, "Self-rescue manual?"

Looking at the other books on the shelf, most of them are self-rescue, basic knowledge of flood prevention and drought relief, XX ways to deal with emergencies, etc.

"Why do you need to see this when you live here?"

It wasn't that Wu Ji couldn't understand. He realized the problem when he saw the titles of these books. He was just too shocked.

This side is too close to the river. Although the terrain of the community is higher, no one dares to say that it is absolutely safe. When the water level rises, you have to prevent water from entering the basement. As mentioned in a brochure just now, sandbags, water pumps, etc. must be prepared.

"Are the basements here waterproof?" Wu Ji murmured.

"The wall is definitely waterproof, but it is still quite dangerous when the water rises." Qian Feiyang said.

Wu Ji looked at Feng Yi worriedly: "Brother, are you really going to move to...a place like this?"

"I quite like it here. I've stayed here for a few nights and I sleep very well." Feng Yi said.

Seeing that Feng Yi was not joking, Wu Ji stopped trying to persuade him.

"Fine."

He had completely given up on his dream of a country house, even if it wasn't by the river. Good stories can only be on TV.

Those places on TV that live close to nature are often visited by cute little animals. In reality, you have to consider snakes, insects, rats, and ants and how to deal with difficulties.

Now Wu Ji believes that those who can live safely in such a place are not ordinary people.

The three of them had a buffet barbecue in the house to celebrate Feng Yi's new home.

After Wu Ji and Qian Feiyang left, Feng Yi simply cleaned up.

It was already dark, but Feng Yi did not turn on the light. He wanted to explore more about the function of his eyes and get used to night vision.

Therefore, no lights are turned on at night these days.

The moon is nice and bright tonight, but it makes no difference to Feng Yi.

Under the dim moonlight, I laid out a mat, covered myself with a thin quilt, put on eye masks and headphones, listened to rock music, crossed my legs and shook them to the rhythm.

The scent of plants made him feel comfortable in his nose. After cleaning the grass and transplanting several plants, the smell became more comfortable. This is just like the average person who lights up the soothing incense, and their nerves are greatly soothed.

Feng Yi was thinking about what other plants to transplant in the backyard, while he was feeling sleepy. But after a while, Feng Yi sat up, took off his blindfold, and came to the backyard wall.

After a while, a figure appeared on the courtyard wall.

It was a child of about ten years old who used the trees outside to climb over the fence.

The child had just climbed up the wall and was about to find a place to land when he realized something was wrong.

Although the moonlight is good tonight, it is still dim for ordinary people. After climbing up the wall, he saw a figure standing in the yard, staring at him. Then reach out to him...

"ah!!!"

While shouting, he turned back again.

Feng Yi was originally worried that the child would fall, so he stretched out his hand to make him jump. He continued below, but unexpectedly the child was frightened back. But listening to the noise over there, I didn't fall.

Judging by his ability to climb over the wall, he is an expert at it.

There was more than one child outside the yard, and they were obviously in a group, but the one who climbed over the wall just now suddenly screamed, scaring the others.

The kid who climbed over the wall was still saying, "There's a monster in the yard! He's reaching out to catch me! Run!!"

Feng Yi could be heard clearly in the yard: "..."

You are the monster!

You little brats are all monsters!

Feng Yi ignored that and lay down to sleep again. He vaguely heard the voices of other children running away.

"Then let's not explore today..."

"What does he look like...does his eyes glow...does he have fangs..."

After that, no children came to disturb him again, and Feng Yi slept until the sun woke him up.

Everything in the backyard is fine, but it feels dry after being exposed to the sun for too long.

I got up, drank a bottle of water, and packed my sleeping mat.

While preparing breakfast, Feng Yi smelled the scent of the children from last night again.

Open the gate and walk to the front yard.

There were three children of about ten years old standing outside the courtyard gate. The first child was more courageous and walked a few steps closer to the courtyard. He stared at Feng Yi carefully for a while, from head to toe to the shadow on the ground. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and ran back with a smile.

"I told you, the people living inside are humans, not monsters!"
