Chapter 693 Skipping Rope
The sound was evenly rhythmic and very regular.
At first I heard the sound of "bang bang bang", as if someone was jumping like a zombie upstairs. But when I listened carefully, I heard the sound of "pa pa pa", as if someone was cracking a whip.
Annan frowned and looked up: "Is there someone driving a corpse in that room?"
Gu Zhiyu was stunned, as if he had not expected her to come up with such a creative guess.
So he pinched her face with amusement and said, "Your idea is quite innovative. You even made a corpse?"
Annan curled his lips and asked, "What else could that sound be?"
Could it be possible that someone was jumping around the room and hitting the top with a big whip?
Gu Zhiyu thought about it. Jumping and hopping, whipping...
He looked up at the ceiling and asked, "Is it possible that the other party is skipping rope?"
Skipping rope? ?
Annan listened carefully again. The movement upstairs had never stopped, but the frequency was slower than before.
It really is like skipping rope.
Annan: "Don't tell me, it's really possible."
Maybe it was too cold, and the neighbor wanted to do some exercise to make himself sweat and warm up.
She looked around and sighed, "The quality of this house is really not very good. The sound insulation is so poor! It's like a drumbeat in my ears."
After a pause, he continued, "If I had known, I would have bought the house directly."
The top floor is upstairs. Everyone knows that the top floor is not only quiet but also relatively safe, but she considered that the top floor is cold in winter and hot in summer, and the temperature is extreme during natural disasters, so the temperature on that floor might be more unbearable.
Then he settled for the next best thing and chose the fifth floor.
Now I have to listen to others jumping rope over my head.
Gu Zhiyu comforted her, "Fortunately, we don't sleep here at night, so we won't be disturbed."
Once you enter the space, you can't hear any noise from outside.
He paused and asked again: "Do you need me to stop it?"
Annan thought about it and waved his hand, "No need."
The weather is really too cold, maybe they can't stand the cold, so they jump on the rope to warm themselves up. Since I can't wake them up, let them continue to jump.
Then he turned to the three kids and said, "If there's still dancing upstairs tomorrow and it disturbs your peace, tell me when I get back and I'll go look for him again."
Lai Fu and Mr. Rabbit nodded in unison.
Fugui did not respond, but raised his head and sniffed around.
Annan looked at it in confusion: "Fugui, what's wrong?"
From the very beginning, it has been sniffing around with its nose, sniffing more carefully than when it first entered the house.
Annan was cleaning the room, and when he saw it didn't bark, he didn't bother to ask. But he didn't expect it to still be sniffing after such a long time.
The spiritual spring water he drank in the afternoon had lost its effect. Annan took out a sip of spring water again and asked:
"Fugui, what's wrong?"
Fugui answered honestly: "There is a dog in the building."
An Nan was stunned when she heard this. Besides her, there were other people who kept dogs here?
On second thought, it's not surprising. There are always people who are better than you, and those who can live in this building are the first batch of people who bought houses in the official base, so they are naturally very powerful.
If there are people who keep dogs in the base, this is the most likely place, apart from the family compound where the leaders live.
But whether other people have dogs or not is none of their business. Anyway, they will only stay here for ten days or so, and they will leave after the teaching is completed.
As long as the other person doesn't bring the dog to their house to cause trouble.
She continued to ask Fugui: "Can you smell how many there are?"
Fugui sniffed and said, "Just one."
Annan nodded, and suddenly remembered You Chen's warning, and told the three little ones:
"Tomorrow we will lock the door before going out for class. You stay at home, don't run out without permission, and don't let others know of your presence. Got it?"
Although he was confident in the abilities of the three little ones, he still had to listen to You Chen's rare seriousness when he spoke, and it was better to be careful.
Then he emphasized: "If someone forces his way in, just fight them to death. If you can't defeat them, don't fight any more, just run away and find me."
Fugui has a keen nose and can naturally find the military base by following the smell.
"The military base is heavily guarded and you will not be allowed in. You should hide nearby and come out after you see me and A-Yu."
The three little ones all said they understood.
Annan smiled and touched their heads, then turned to look at the entrance.
The armored door she had used in Maple Stage has now been installed there.
In order to keep a low profile, she did not move the entrance door that was the same as that of her neighbors, but only installed a more solid armored door inside.
So the probability of something happening at home is actually very low. Annan only gave a few instructions and took Gu Zhiyu and the three little ones into the space to rest.
Upstairs.
A woman, wearing several layers of down jackets and covering herself tightly, was holding a rope clumsily and sweating profusely.
"One hundred and eleven..."
"One hundred and twelve..."
"One hundred and thirteen..."
"Oh! No, Zhuifeng, I really can't dance anymore!!"
The person jumping the rope above Annan's head was none other than Tang Qiyun, who had settled down in the official base.
She threw aside the hemp rope she was using as a skipping rope, sat down on the ground, and panted for a long time. Then she raised her hand and touched Zhuifeng who was circling around her anxiously.
"It's okay, don't worry, I'm still alive, still alive..."
She calmed her breath and touched her belly a little depressed:
"It's really strange! I'm so weak and I've been dancing for so long that I feel like I'm going to pass out, but why is my stomach not hurting at all?"
"This is unscientific..."
"I've seen on TV before that pregnant women would miscarry immediately after someone gave them a gentle push. Why is it so difficult for me?"
Zhuifeng couldn't speak, he just stayed by her side and rubbed her body obediently to comfort her.
Tang Qiyun sighed and lay down on the ground, exhausted.
She was lucky today. Not long after she entered the office hall, she rented such a good house at a super low price.
Not long after the original owner of the house bought it, his entire family died, so the house was taken back by the government and put back on the market.
But after all, there are only a few people who can afford to buy houses in the apocalypse, and this house is 100 square meters, which is more expensive than 60 square meters. Naturally, it will not be sold so quickly.
So the government put the property up for sale and also rented it out for short-term rentals.
The so-called short-term rental is a weekly rental. The tenant can only rent the house for one week at a time, which will not delay the sale of the house.
