Chapter 209 Brother, He Wants His Shit Back
"Shen Que, look over there!"
That day, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Ci and Shen Que climbed to the roof and looked into the distance.
Then we saw a dark mass in the east, and something unknown was flying towards the base.
“Locusts.”
Chen Que only took a glance to figure out what the flying object was.
Although Meng Ci knew that a locust attack would occur, he did not know the exact time. When he heard about this, he hurriedly took out a telescope from space and looked towards the east.
Then I saw dense swarms of locusts flapping their wings and flying from a distance.
If someone with trypophobia saw that scene, they would probably be scared to death.
Meng Ci and Shen Que hurried downstairs and checked every corner of the house to make sure all the windows and doors were closed.
Shen Que left the house and closed the door of the glass room tightly.
Meng Ci, unable to go out due to the arrival of locusts, took out a basin of water from the space, called the eagle and let it soak in the water.
Perhaps it is a common nature of dogs that most of them do not like taking a bath.
Therefore, when the eagle first knew that he had to take a bath, he was very resistant.
But the eagle was a military dog after all, and he finally chose to obey orders and resolutely entered the basin.
After soaking for a long time, the eagle gradually felt that other parts of his body were very comfortable, but the injured part was still painful.
After soaking for more than twenty days, the eagle felt that his front leg, which had been hopeless to recover, had actually improved. Without a careful inspection, it would have been almost impossible to detect that he had once been lame.
Therefore, after knowing that the water provided by its owner for its bath is good stuff, the eagle began to take a bath actively.
Meng Ci stroked the scar on the eagle's back. The horrifying cut had now become very shallow, and some hair had grown around it.
I believe that after soaking a few more times, the eagle's wounds will be completely healed.
As for the wounds on the eagle's face, Meng Ci would always take a rag, dip it in water and apply it to its face.
In fact, Meng Ci also wanted the eagle to soak its entire body in water, but he didn't have the right tools.
As for the bathtub in the space, Meng Ci said he didn't want to share it with Xiong Ying.
However, the effect of applying water compress is mediocre and is not as good as the recovery of scars on the back.
But it is enough to know that it is useful, and the matter of healing scars can be considered in the long term.
Shen Que, on the other hand, went up to the roof and continued to observe the outside with a telescope.
In just a few minutes, the swarm of locusts flew into the base, and wherever they passed, all green things disappeared in an instant.
And soon, we reached the crops planted in the north.
Shen Que had been observing the situation, but what happened next left Shen Que confused and puzzled.
He remembered that the cultivated land area in the north was not large, but after these locusts went down, they did not fly up for such a long time. Could something unexpected have happened?
Shen Que was not sure, and continued to observe for half an hour, but did not see the locusts flying. He was full of doubts and went downstairs.
Afterwards, he told Meng Ci about this.
Meng Ci was lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. When he heard this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Do you think the authorities may have set up traps in advance after knowing that the cockroaches would come?"
"Catch all those cockroaches in one fell swoop!"
Shen Que thought about it and felt that it made sense.
However, in order to determine the real reason, Meng Ci and Shen Que planned to inquire about it when they went out to change the water the next day.
Coincidentally, when the two arrived at the points redemption point, they ran into the sneaky Zheng Yan.
"Zheng Yan! What are you doing here!"
Meng Ci patted Zheng Yan on the shoulder, only for the guy to turn around and run away like a mouse seeing a cat.
In the end, Zheng Yan's clothes were grabbed by Chen Que and he could only stay where he was.
Zheng Yan turned around and saw that it was Meng Ci and Shen Que, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Two big brothers, it turns out to be you. I was scared to death!" Zheng Yan patted his chest, his eyes still looking around.
This is the time when most residents go to work, so there are not many people at the item exchange point.
Seeing Zheng Yan's guilty look, Meng Ci raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you so scared?"
"Maybe he did something to deceive consumers and is afraid that they will come after him."
When Zheng Yan heard this, he quickly defended himself.
"How is that possible! We are doing business with conscience and we would never cheat consumers."
Then, Zheng Yan began to explain why he was so alert.
Zheng Yan and his colleagues are engaged in collecting feces. After each transaction is completed, they will give the other party a handful of rice or other food. This is a win-win situation.
However, something unexpected happened yesterday.
An old man in his fifties claimed that the feces he had previously given to Zheng Yan had been stored at Zheng Yan's place and had been hoarding it for a month, so he asked them to return the feces.
When Zheng Yan heard this, he naturally felt dissatisfied.
They have always been doing fair business, how did it become a consignment?
"And brother, you don't know how shameless that person is."
"I said I could give him back the feces, but I asked him to return the rice and flour I had given him before. He actually said he had never received anything from us before."
"Brother, please judge for yourself, whose fault is this?"
Zheng Yan put his hands on his hips, extremely angry.
What's even more outrageous is that the man relied on his age to commit fraud.
"That guy was shameless. As soon as I said a few words, he lay on the ground and said that I hit him."
"Bah! How could I be that rude?"
"I've already told you that if he thinks I've screwed him over, he can report me to the authorities."
"Let the official people handle this matter."
Zheng Yan was not afraid of the man's complaint. After all, when he collected feces, everyone on the entire floor collected it together, and he had never owed anyone rice or flour.
"And that guy only pulls a little bit each time!" Zheng Yan stretched out his little finger and compared.
"I felt sorry for him, so I did some favors and gave him some rice every time. Otherwise, he would have starved to death."
"I didn't expect that guy to be so ungrateful."
Zheng Yan became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he promised that he would never collect that guy's feces again.
That shameless guy didn't pull as much in a month as others did in two days. It's obvious that they are at a disadvantage in the cooperation.
When Zheng Yan mentioned feces, Meng Ci wanted to interrupt him several times.
However, Zheng Yan spoke so fluently that he did not give Meng Ci any chance to interrupt.
"Brother, can you please judge for me? Isn't this the guy's fault?"
Meng Ci said: "Since you agreed to it at the beginning, and you did it, then it is indeed that guy's fault."
Zheng Yan looked up and said solemnly, "Of course. In our line of work, reputation is what matters most!"
"There's no way I'm going to destroy my reputation."
Meng Ci nodded. After communicating with Zheng Yan several times, he indeed felt that he was a man of his words.
Zheng Yan had almost vented his anger and was not so angry anymore.
"Brother, what do you want from me?"
