Chapter 14: Hide and Seek, Always Failing
Zhang Zi'an quickly ran downstairs, glanced at it, and it was clear downstairs that there was no trace of the sea of stars, and the bell on the floor-to-ceiling glass door was still hanging quietly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He went back upstairs and searched the kitchen, his bedroom, and the living room carefully, and when he looked for it, he left the door open, staring at the corridor with the corner of his eye, but he still didn't find Xinghai.
Can it run into two rooms with closed doors?
Although he didn't think so, he left the doors of his parents' bedroom and storage room open.
The furnishings of the parents' bedrooms have not changed, and they are still the same as they were when they were alive.
Under the bed, no.
In the closet, no.
Under the desk, no.
On the balcony, no.
He went into the storage room again, which contained the extra cages and display cases, as well as a few miscellaneous items, and it was impossible to hide it here.
Zhang Zi panicked, complaining that he was not playing well, and he wanted to play hide and seek with it, which is a big game now!
He said anxiously: "Xinghai, I admit defeat...... I can't find you, where are you?"
Just when he thought there would be no response, there was a "meow" from downstairs.
He ran down the stairs with a bang, and saw Xinghai squatting upright in the middle of the shop, spinning in circles with great joy.
"Meow...... Xinghai has won...... Meow ...... Xinghai has won......"
Zhang Zi'an blinked vigorously, and his hanging heart relaxed.
But where is it hidden?
"I lost, I admit defeat! Xinghai, you are too good at hiding, can you tell me where you are hiding?"
"Meow...... Over here...... There...... Over here...... There......"
Here and there...... Having said that, there is only one staircase, and it must go through the stairs to run from the second floor to the first floor. Zhang Zi'an kept an eye on the staircase when he searched for it for the second time, and was very sure that it had not appeared there.
Evil Door!
His competitive spirit was aroused, and he squatted down and said, "Xinghai, let's continue to play hide and seek tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay! Meow! Xinghai likes to play hide and seek!"
......
The next day, the little girl brought a few peanuts and almonds to the store, fed them to the little hamster from the feeding hole, and was even happier to see it eat than she was herself, and after ten minutes of play, she left.
After the little girl left, Sun Xiaomeng, who was not drunk and didn't want to drink, pushed the door directly, threw Zhang Zi'an a bag of buns, and ran to please Xinghai, but he still touched a gray nose, and Xinghai hid far away.
Occasionally, a few uncles and aunts who returned from morning exercise passed by the pet store, came in and took a turn, asked about the price and shook their heads and left.
Zhang Zi'an didn't feel lost or surprised, anyway, the uncle and aunt who were concerned about the price were not among the target customers of the pet store. The antique industry says: don't open for three years, open for three years. Pet stores are not as good as antique stores, but they are somewhat similar, to say the least: they are not open for three days, and they are open for three days.
In any case, he will not choose to rush sales with cheap pets, people often do not value cheap things.
When there were no guests, Zhang Zi'an played hide and seek with Xinghai again.
"Last time hide and seek was just a warm-up exercise!" he announced, "Now I'm going to get serious! I'm going to be scared of myself when I'm serious! I'm going to catch you this time!"
"Meow!" Xinghai dismissed his declaration.
This time it was a copy of yesterday, he still didn't find Xinghai, and after he admitted defeat, Xinghai appeared on the first floor again.
......
On the third day, Zhang Zi'an was full of confidence, he was a man who aspired to become the king of hide and seek.
If you come prepared today, you will definitely be able to solve the mystery of Xinghai's whereabouts.
Hide and seek began, after counting a hundred, and after Xinghai hid, Zhang Zi'an walked up the stairs upside down, and carefully sprinkled a thin layer of flour on the steps for each step.
The half of his staircase has a 90-degree turn, which means that it is impossible to jump directly from the second floor to the first floor, at least stop at the corner to change direction. As long as Xinghai passes by the stairs, it will definitely leave footprints on the flour.
He carefully searched the first floor several times, confirming that it was not on the first floor, and only went up to the second floor, but this time after he admitted defeat, Xinghai still appeared on the first floor, and there were no footprints of it on the flour.
Zhang Zi'an had to admit, hell!
If it was possible, he really wanted to tie the bell collar directly to Xinghai's neck, but as a hide-and-seek, this was too tricky......
......
Day 4.
"I mean, you're not going to be stunned by the lack of customers, are you?"
Zhang Zi'an raised his head blankly, "Huh, what did you say?"
"I said," Sun Xiaomeng crossed his arms to his chest and looked him up and down with the eyes of a patient, "I don't think there's something wrong with you, you can't give up." Would you like me to show you this?"
You are a veterinarian, how can you treat people? Be careful that I will sue the court to sue you for practicing medicine without a license!"
Zhang Zi'an said again: "Actually, I'm thinking about it, haven't I heard that serious men are the cutest?"
Sun Xiaomeng pouted, "Come on, you're still thinking about the problem, I think you're daywalking!"
Zhang Zi'an waved his hand and blasted her out, "Hurry up and take care of your own stall! If you want to say that there are no guests, you are not much worse over there, right? Otherwise, you can be idle like this?"
"Hahaha!" Sun Xiaomeng laughed three times as if she was retaliating, "Actually, someone made an appointment to come to my clinic to see a doctor today, and I came to tell you!" After speaking, she ran away in a puff of smoke.
Zhang Zi'an's attention has completely shifted to how to catch Xinghai, and whether there are any guests coming to the door is secondary.
Today he is ready to do a big job, Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky!
He still uses flour Dafa, only this time instead of scattered on the stairs, he scatters it in every room on the second floor, closing the doors of each room before the game starts.
The game starts as usual.
When he found the second floor from the first floor and opened the door to his bedroom, he saw an incredible scene.
Only the central part of the room left a trace of Xinghai, and a thin layer of flour was rubbed off, showing that Xinghai had just been lying there, leaving four small paw prints.
From the doorway to the center of the room, no footprints were left.
It's like it suddenly appears in the middle of the room and then disappears suddenly.
He opened the kitchen door, the parents' bedroom door, the pantry door, and the living room door, and saw that in the center of the floor of each room, there were traces of it on the thin layer of flour.
No wonder, it's here...... It's there......
It can be teleported from room to room.
He already had a clue in his mind about the origin of the lucky cat...... That's definitely a sad story.
"Xinghai, I admit defeat. He said.
"Meow, Xinghai wins, Xinghai wins!" Lucky Cat's voice came from the first floor again.
"I'll catch you tomorrow, though!" he proclaimed.
