Chapter 29: Transformation “Whose child is sleeping here?”…
After taking a shower, Song Keling saw the message and looked at the time. It was already past one in the morning. She replied "no" and then simply re-made the bed and lay down.
Suddenly I remembered that two days ago I woke up in the morning and found Qianqian sleeping on me.
Song Keling took out her cell phone and looked through the surveillance footage from the previous few days, fast forwarding to the evening.
In the video, Qianqian climbed out of the breeding box and fell off the table.
Not long after entering the blind spot, the slender little body grunted and crawled into the surveillance camera. The little guy's target was obviously very clear, and he went straight for the bed.
Song Keling saw it successfully climb onto the bed with great effort, come to her side, stand up and observe it for a while as if exploring, then change its target and climb onto the pillow instead.
Her long hair was scattered on the pillow, and she curled up into a small pile and slept in her hair.
I don’t know how long it took, but Qianqian probably felt cold in her sleep, and she groggily crawled into the quilt covering her body, but there was no oxygen in it, and she came out again after a while and crawled to her collarbone.
This position seemed just right, so it slept until dawn.
Song Keling couldn't help laughing as she watched, but as soon as she laughed out loud, the smile in her eyes disappeared.
Regardless of whether Qianqian understands human nature or not.
After being together for so long, she thought it was an indispensable part of daily life.
Watch it crawling slowly in the breeding box, watch it gulp water like a small water pipe, watch it curl up lazily with only a pair of beautiful red vertical pupils and small horn scales exposed.
She would check its physical condition and bowel movements every day, and also check how its little fangs were growing.
Song Keling closed her eyes, put down her phone, turned over and saw the bedside table.
There was still cartoon playing on the tablet.
Song Keling wished that tonight was just a dream.
After waking up, Qianqian can nestle in the breeding box, watch cartoons in front of the tablet, or wake up on her chest...
But when Song Keling closed her eyes and thought about this, her throat felt dry.
The reality is, she may never get her little one back.
Song Keling didn't sleep well all night and tossed and turned.
Unlike her, Qianqian, who was wandering outside, was hanging in the bushes and snoring.
This is the good thing about being a snake: no matter where you are, as long as you have no natural enemies, you can just find a pile of fallen leaves and spend the night there.
What's more, it is small in size and can't be hidden any better.
Qianqian is very smart. She decides to rest and recuperate, and then find the way home when the sun rises.
When Qianqian woke up, she felt a little numb.
I seem to have a stiff neck from sleeping last night.
Its neck was too long, from the head down, so it took a long time to stretch out.
Perhaps because it was used to the warm and pleasant humidity and temperature indoors, Qianqian almost caught a cold on the first night in the wild. It rustled and climbed the bushes to peek out secretly.
An extremely unfamiliar environment.
So how does it find its junior schoolmate?
It believes that its junior high school sister will definitely look for it, so it first finds a human who is not so scary. When the human picks it up, it will "return the item to its original owner."
Qianqian did what she said, climbed down the bushes, and walked carefully along the curb.
Under the bright sunlight, the white cement ground, the gray-white curbs, and the small snake as thick as a finger moving in an S-shape were not so eye-catching.
It crawled and stopped, spit out its tongue to identify the scent, and then continued to move forward.
At school, Su Yili made an appointment with Song Keling to meet after class.
Su Yili said that she felt something moving in her bag last night. She was replying to a friend's message at the time and didn't take it seriously. But thinking about it later, she thought it might really be a small snake crawling away.
Song Keling looked at Su Yili, "Are you sure?"
Su Yili nodded first, then quickly added: "I'm not so sure, but you said you didn't find it in the room, so it must have fallen into my bag and then crawled out when I didn't know."
Song Keling pursed her lips and said, "I went out to look for it last night, but I couldn't find it."
"Have you looked in the bushes?" Su Yili spoke a little too quickly, but she realized she was too eager the moment she spoke. She slowed down and explained, "Don't snakes like to hide in plants?"
Song Keling: "I have looked for it, but since you said so, I will look for it again today."
After finishing her anatomy class in the afternoon, Song Keling went straight back to the community to look for it.
Her intuition told her that the senior student must know something. Since she mentioned the bushes, she should focus on the bushes and search carefully.
It’s just that living things are not like objects.
Lost objects will not run away. If you can't find them, the only possibility is that they were picked up by someone else, and most likely sent to the property management or security guard. But living things are different. Living things can move, and they may appear in the place you didn't find them before the next second.
Even if Qianqian understands human nature, it is just a small snake. It neither knows the police station nor will it go to the police station to ask for help.
Either it hides and spins in place, or it has already gone out to all corners of the world.
Song Keling prayed to God and hoped it would be the former.
But things went against her wishes. Qianqian had already left the community gate by her own ability. Her eyesight was not particularly good, but she was quite sensitive to sounds.
When my junior high school sister was raising her, she would often hear a familiar ringing sound.
And the ringing sound came from far away.
It hurried all the way, saw the wide road and the cars flying back and forth, raised its little head and looked hesitantly, but could not find any opportunity to cross the road.
Although it is a fast little snake, it is not faster than a car.
Qianqian could only find a crowded place, quietly climb onto the other person's trouser legs or shoes, and "hitch a ride" all the way there.
Qianqian is very smart. It is small in size and its weight of more than 20 grams is almost negligible.
After two or three times, it quickly succeeded in crawling into a young man's trouser leg. It quietly stretched its slender body into a strip, perfectly hiding its body in the folded trouser legs.
It already has experience in this regard.
That’s how I came back with my junior schoolmate.
Just one morning's action had already made it quite tiring, and coupled with the ups and downs of the road ahead, it felt a little dizzy, just like before. Although it tried to cheer itself up, it still fell asleep in its trouser legs.
When Qianqian woke up, the surroundings were filled with all kinds of lively sounds.
It panicked and stuck its little head out from the edge of its trouser leg. Everywhere it looked, it saw human legs and shoes coming and going.
So many people!!
It immediately shrank its neck, a little scared. Where was this place...
Qianqian was anxious and scared, but didn't dare to act rashly. She felt that if she got out of the trouser legs, she would be trampled to death by these humans.
Staggering, it was brought into a dark room.
Its "hitchhiker" seemed to have found a seat and finally stopped moving.
Qianqian waited for a while, and when she was sure it was safe, she found the right opportunity, quietly raised her head and neck, and slowly crawled down along her trouser legs.
The young boy felt a slight chill in his feet and lifted his feet to shake them.
Qianqian was shaken to the ground before she finished crawling. In panic, she quickly hid under the rough mat.
The boy lifted his foot and touched his cold ankle.
The girl beside him looked at him puzzledly: "What's the matter?"
"No." The boy put down his hands and sat down, looking at her with a smile, "Can you finish such a large portion of popcorn?"
"This movie is two and a half hours long, eat slowly~"
Qianqian didn't know where she was taken, but the cartoon she was watching was on a big tablet. When she got here, she realized that the square thing was so small and this one was so big! !
The whole world is cartoons!!
The film has been online for a while, and the theater attendance is low.
Qianqian crawled and crawled until she came to a large area of empty seats. She climbed onto the back of a chair and looked at the huge screen. Suddenly, a small white snake appeared on it.
Its vertical pupils lit up, but then another small green snake caught up.
It immediately became alert and stood up.
After a while, the two snakes on the screen fell to the ground and turned into two beautiful humans.
The person in the green skirt calls the person in the white skirt sister.
Qianqian has learned a lot of human languages, but not very well. The words "sister" and "Qianqian" are pronounced very similarly, which makes her confused.
Huh?
Is this person calling it?
Qianqian tilted her head in confusion, and the small horn scales above her eyes also tilted.
It continues to look again.
After watching Qianqian, it felt like I had opened the door to a new world.
Wow, it turns out snakes can turn into humans!
My junior high school sister didn’t even tell it!!!
Qianqian crawled on the chair excitedly and anxiously. As long as she turned into a human, she would be able to find her junior schoolmate quickly!
But after crawling for a while, it suddenly stopped: How can it become a human?
Qianqian was stumped.
It curled up on a chair in the cinema, thinking seriously about its life as a snake.
Movies were shown one after another in the cinema.
It was getting dark outside.
Song Keling didn't find any trace of Qianqian in the bushes of the community. She hoped that Qianqian would hear her calling and crawl out by herself, but her voice was hoarse and she found nothing.
Su Yili came over to help her look for it in the afternoon. She was already very tired after going back and forth. Seeing her depressed, she felt very bad, but she still said to comfort her: "It may be on its way home."
Song Keling: "Xuetai, hundreds of kilometers away, how can it get back?"
Su Li choked.
Song Keling realized that her tone was filled with anger, but she didn't apologize much. She put her hands in her pockets and said, "Thank you, senior sister. You've been helping me look for it all day. Let me treat you to dinner."
Su Yili smiled, "Okay~"
Su Yili didn't expect that after ordering the food, Song Keling suddenly mentioned that the security guard said she also went back to look for "something" last night.
"What are you looking for, Senior?"
"I……"
Song Keling looked at her patiently, without interrupting, just waiting for her answer.
Su Yili was speechless. She hesitated for a long time before her eyes turned red. She twisted her fingers, her beautiful manicure tangled together, "Ke Ling, I'm sorry."
Although Song Keling was mentally prepared, her heart still skipped a beat and sank quickly when she saw Su Yili's reaction.
She clenched her fists, already thinking the worst.
But when Su Yili told the truth, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was so nervous that she felt a little suffocated.
Su Yili cried and apologized while crying: "I'm sorry, I was too scared..."
Song Keling handed her a tissue to wipe her tears, "It didn't bite you, did it?"
Su Yili took it, sobbed, shook her head and said no.
"That's good." Song Keling asked again, "Did you see it crawl into the bushes with your own eyes?"
Su Yili nodded.
Seeing this, Song Keling didn't continue the topic and stopped talking at the table. After eating quietly, she paid the bill and said goodbye to Su Yili at the restaurant door.
Su Yili called her aggrievedly: "Schoolmate, are you angry with me?"
Just now she said that when she was trying to get her car keys last night, she saw a small snake trying to crawl out. She was so scared that she quickly dropped her bag, and the snake ran into the bushes and disappeared.
She wanted to explain that she was really afraid of snakes.
Song Keling looked back at Su Yili, her eyes calm, a little critical but not overly angry. She said, "It was it that jumped into your bag. It's not your fault."
Su Yili was delighted, she knew that Song Keling was not that unreasonable.
But the next moment, Song Keling said, "But you shouldn't have lied to me. You should have contacted me as soon as it ran away. That way, you could still find it."
Song Keling: "Qianqian is a venomous snake. Although snakes rarely attack humans, they can bite if frightened. Have you ever thought about what would happen if someone in the community got bitten?"
Su Yili's face turned slightly pale, "I..."
Song Keling didn't listen to her explanation and said, "That's it. Be careful on your way back."
After saying that, he turned around and went back.
Su Yili looked at Song Keling without turning her head, and knew that there was really no chance this time.
Song Keling returned to the community, picked up a flashlight and started searching along the bushes again, carefully turning over the leaves and branches.
The security guard was the one on duty the night before. He came over to say hello to her and was still looking for her.
This time, Song Keling told him directly that the venomous snake was missing.
The security guard's face turned green after hearing this. Viper?! This is too much!
Security guard: "Hurry up and tell everyone in the group, just in case..."
"Don't be nervous. It's a tiny young snake, very small and well-behaved. It usually doesn't bite. And it didn't come out of the sewer, so it won't go into other people's homes. Just be careful when you're out in the wild." Song Keling said, then took out her phone. "Which group should I join? I just moved here a few days ago and haven't joined any groups yet."
"Owners group, tell all the owners living in the community."
Song Keling: "Okay."
Song Keling was planning this. She wanted to tell anyone who saw this to please not hurt her, not scare her, and not take any action. She should take a photo and contact her immediately, and she would reward them handsomely.
Here, Song Keling contacted the property management and joined each owner group.
In the cinema, a mother with a child looked at the little girl sleeping on a chair, stunned, looked up and around, and asked: "Whose child is sleeping here?"
