At the Hailinglong Club, Ansheng was preparing to go home and rest after gathering the relevant intelligence from Grandma Hedgehog.
Grandma Hedgehog didn't see him off far and continued to take out her cat food, commanding the cats to hunt down the big fish.
A can of cat food only got a rub, but fifty kilograms of cat food weight was enough to drive all the cats crazy; the blue flagfish couldn't go home tonight.
"Wait for me here a moment, I remember Ah Qing said earlier that the old house had a rat problem, I'll go check it out..."
Upon returning to Changxi Town, Ansheng spoke, signaling Lin Shu to drive the nanny van a bit further forward.
In the WeChat video sent by Chen Peipei earlier, the white rat in the old house kitchen had already become a spirit; it even got on the stove and started doing house dance.
Ansheng suspected that the big rat was the brown rat that used to live in the sewage pipes.
Spiritualization wasn't a big deal, but Ansheng wanted to convince it not to indulge in too extreme projects, for Old Deng and Chen Peipei probably couldn't accept such a performance.
"Huh? Is there no one at home?"
Climbing over the wall to return to the old house courtyard, Ansheng wore a puzzled expression, glanced around, and saw that the doors and windows were tightly shut, and the old house was dark around eleven o'clock at night.
"Lai Foo, where's Old Deng from my house gone?" Ansheng walked along the wall to the alley entrance and looked towards the neighbor's dog.
"Woof~"
Lai Foo poked his head out of the doghouse, joyfully wagging his tail and greeted Master Fuli, starting to explain the current situation of Ah Qing's old house.
Since Ah Qing went to school, no one has lived in the old house at night.
Yu Zhenghong goes to the tea garden in the morning, returns to the old house to rest until noon for lunch, and occasionally takes friends to the old house for tea and bragging in the evening.
"Oh....."
Ansheng nodded in understanding, and knowing that Old Deng and others weren't home, he climbed up to the unfinished top floor through the outdoor drainpipe and started a carpet search.
"That's strange..."
Ansheng looked bewildered, surveyed around the house but saw no trace of the white rat, even opened the toilet to ask, yet still did not see the big rat.
Ah Qing and Master Fuli weren't home; the spirit beasts originally living at home all went to the Homeless House for meals and lodging.
Now there were no traces of spirit beasts at home.
"Forget it, it's just house dancing, not performing pole dance on a faucet. Old Deng can handle it."
Finding nothing in the search, Ansheng shrugged, silently prayed for Old Deng in his heart, hoping the white rat wouldn't be too outrageous and scare people.
Returning to the wall, Ansheng looked at the direction of Old Chen's house, showed slight hesitation, and silently turned around, running straight to the nanny van.
"Hmm.....visiting Old Chen, let's wait until New Year's Day or the winter vacation to talk about it!"
Ansheng decisively nodded, happily put Old Chen behind him.
...…
Following Lin Ying back home, enjoying Lin Ying's massage treatment in the big bathtub and eating supper, Ansheng hummed a little tune, burrowed into Lin Ying's bed, and fell asleep.
The next day.
Lin Ying woke up Master Fuli in sleep, then drove to Qingao Island to start working.
"Lin Ying not eating breakfast every day, is that okay?"
Sitting on the baby chair, eating shrimp dumplings with a fork, Ansheng looked at Lin Ying's back and asked Lin Bingyun.
Lin Ying's breakfast was just tea and some nuts, and that was it.
"Hmm...from a nutritional point of view, it's not healthy." Lin Bingyun pondered briefly and said to Master Fuli, "But these lifestyle habits are hard to change; however, we can try to have lunch earlier and provide tea snacks..."
"Master Fuli, if you feel it's unhealthy, tomorrow morning you can try feeding some dessert to the lady with a fork."
Lin Bingyun showed a smile and suggested to Master Fuli something Lin Ying could hardly refuse.
"Alright! I'll try feeding Lin Ying tomorrow....." Ansheng confidently said, picked up a sugarcane-flavored cola from the table, and walked towards the appointed meeting place.
Lin Bingyun drove and sent Master Fuli out, and upon reaching the seafood wholesale market.
A scene in the parking lot made Ansheng in the business car reveal a quirky expression.
Lu Tiannan's mouth twitched slightly, obviously with a face of helplessness, his pupils drifting aimlessly.
While on the table held by Lin Hao, Grandma Hedgehog jumped up angrily, both feet on the ground, raised her finger towards Lu Tiannan's nose, and unleashed a torrent of words.
"It's the first time I've seen Grandma Hedgehog stomp in anger...."
Ansheng stood up on hind legs and peered out of the car window, gossiping towards Lin Bingyun.
The Golden Hedgehog and Lu Tiannan...seem to be old acquaintances?
In the parking lot, as soon as Lu Tiannan turned his head, his right hand joyfully opened its mouth, sticking out its tongue to disgust Lu Tiannan.
Lu Tiannan's mouth twitched, had no choice but to turn back to face the Golden Hedgehog, who was furiously talking at him.
"You.....know each other?"
In the empty morning seafood market parking lot, Ansheng ran into Lin Bingyun's arms, curiously poked his head.
"Pah! Old conman! Even if you grow two heads, I'll remember you as this bastard even if you turn to ash!"
The frustrated Golden Hedgehog beckoned repeatedly, signaling his minions to bring a microphone and turned the volume to the highest, unleashing a sophisticated and enchanting female voice, and cursed.
"It was just borrowing a few needles, do you have to hold a grudge for so long?"
Lu Tiannan looked speechless, dug into his left ear which was buzzing from the speaker.
"You've got some nerve!"
Granny Hedgehog pointed out Lu Tiannan's serious crime from back in the day: "This damned conman, wrote my name on the supplies for rapid troop deployment!"
When injured and needing treatment during a march, they just borrowed a needle from me as an anesthetic, which was still okay.
The result was, this blasted guy lost, causing me to be kicked several miles away by a monster!
The toxins in Golden Hedgehog's spines have a very special paralytic effect, stronger than regular tranquilizers, even the wolf-transformed Ah Bai couldn't withstand it.
In times of scarce resources, the toxic spines of Grandma Hedgehog were a highly superior medical supply.
Using them as needed didn't worry about anesthetic dosage causing issues like respiratory arrest.
The Golden Hedgehog was the best anesthetist and was quite famous locally, being worshipped by temple-goers as a Mountain God.
The predecessor of the Security Bureau's special team once enlisted the Golden Hedgehog for multiple combat missions.
Lu Tiannan promised that if they succeeded in defeating the monster boss that emerged from the underground, the whole city would be given to the Golden Hedgehog as a dominion for worship and enjoyment.
However.....
Lu Tiannan's head almost got blasted, and the Golden Hedgehog was kicked into the sky by the monster boss.
Having witnessed the nuclear explosion and various unreliable acts of the old conman, the Golden Hedgehog packed up and headed south overnight.
"I didn't expect Grandma you once worked as a sexy nurse."
Ansheng, holding back laughter, couldn't resist teasing Grandma Hedgehog.
"Bullshit nurse, would I be packing up my essentials if I hadn't believed that old fraud's baloney?" Grandma Hedgehog rolled her eyes and cursed, "Made it so I almost couldn't survive locally, heh! Old conman!"
Lu Tiannan's expedition failed, during which he was dragged into the woods to brawl by an ancient relic.
Externally, some monsters created from the remnants of the Spirit Particle Era, were also dispatched under the instructions of the ancient relic to search for and attack the remaining stragglers.
The Golden Hedgehog nearly became a soccer ball.
Now encountering this old conman Lu Tiannan again, the Golden Hedgehog immediately saw red, bouncing up and cursing him.
"........"
Lu Tiannan looked helpless, dug into his ear, and the Golden Hedgehog nearly yanked his ear to berate him.
"The head nurse curses viciously....."
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
