Chapter 138: The Resurrection of the Spiritual Energy of Elvis: Call Daddy!
The recent rat infestation in the Jiang family was a joke that really made all the residents in the building laugh.
Originally, the Jiang family had a bad relationship with other residents because of the naughty child Jiang Yanyan. Although the Jiang family did not bring harm to them like they did to the Chen family, Jiang Yanyan's mischief had already made him a well-known mischief in the community. No one liked this naughty child who hated cats and dogs, and they also hated the mischievous parents behind the naughty child.
Now seeing that the Jiang family was in chaos because of a few rats, everyone couldn't help but feel a little gloating.
Of course, the main reason was that no one knew how serious the rat infestation was at the Jiang family's home. There were more than twenty rats that seemed to have become spirits and were playing tricks on the Jiang family. If this were exposed, the other residents would probably be scared.
But how could Si Yuan allow the Jiang family to have the opportunity to expose this matter?
Whenever they see the Jiang family members taking out their phones to take photos or videos, these rats will quickly hide under the sofa cabinet, so other residents can only see what the Jiang family members are shouting in the owners' group. Father and Mother Jiang are telling the truth, but they have lied in exaggerated ways before, so almost no one believes what they say.
Jiang's father and mother even went to the property management to make a scene, demanding that they help get rid of the rats.
The property management actually doesn't like the Jiang family very much. This family often defaults on property management fees and always causes trouble for the property management. But no matter how much they dislike them, no one wants to get into trouble like the Jiang family, which is like a dog-skin plaster.
So the property management arranged for someone to come and help get rid of the rats.
But these rats were like spirits. Every time someone from the property management company came to the door, only one rat would appear. It would run to the door of the Jiang family and disappear in front of them. The property management company thought the rats had been driven away, but the Jiang family knew there were more than one rat.
The Jiang family continued to make a fuss, and the property management was annoyed with them and didn't want to deal with them anymore. They demanded that they produce evidence that there were still rats in the house.
But what evidence can they produce? As soon as those clever rats saw them taking out their cell phones to take pictures, they would run away out of sight and no evidence could be taken.
The bite wound on Jiang's father's foot can be used as evidence, but he was bitten before the property management came to his house. The wound can only prove that there were rats in his house before, but the property management came and drove away a rat from Jiang's house. He cannot prove that there were still more than 20 rats in his house after the property management drove away one rat.
Father Jiang thought of installing surveillance cameras, but these mice were smarter than anyone else. They bit off the power cord of the surveillance camera, making it impossible for the surveillance camera to work.
If you buy a surveillance camera that comes with its own battery and does not need to be connected to a power source, the camera may be damaged by a clever mouse that bites it from behind a blind spot, and you will not be able to capture the mouse.
As the battles of wits and courage with the mice increased, Jiang's mother said to Jiang's father in a panic, "Why don't we just forget about provoking these mice? Don't you think their IQ is a little too high? They can even hide from surveillance cameras and know how to bite them. If we really kill a mouse, the remaining mice will hold a grudge..."
There are many examples of mice holding grudges and seeking revenge on humans. Just taking a look at the relevant news is chilling, especially the mice in the Jiang family, who obviously have high IQs.
Jiang's mother's words also made Jiang's father's heart skip a beat. His original hatred for mice due to the pain in his feet gradually turned into fear of mice.
If it was true as Jiang's mother said, and they killed a mouse, the remaining mice would all hold a grudge and come to take revenge on them, and would come to bite them after they fell asleep in the middle of the night. There were more than 20 mice, and each one would take a bite... Perhaps these more than 20 mice had other relatives and friends, and they would come together to bite them, and wouldn't they eat them alive?
The more Father Jiang thought about it, the more frightened he was by his own imagination. He said with a pale face, "Well, let's not kill them. Let's find a way to drive them away. We can catch a cat and raise it."
Jiang's mother also thought this was a good idea: "Catch a few more. One cat may not be a match for so many mice."
In order to catch mice, Jiang's father and mother went to their hometown to look for rural cats that were particularly good at catching mice. They borrowed cats from relatives and neighbors in their hometown and borrowed five cats and brought them home.
Si Yuan, who had been watching the funny things happening in the Jiang family these days, noticed that five new cats had come to his territory. These five cats were accompanied by the scent of Jiang's father and mother. He knew that Jiang's father and mother had finally remembered to find a cat to catch mice.
So Si Yuan drove more than 20 meritorious rats back to the sewer, and now there is not a single rat in the Jiang family.
Father and Mother Jiang returned home and released the five cats from the cages: "Go, go, catch mice." For this reason, they deliberately starved the cats and did not give them food, for fear that the cats would not catch mice.
But what they didn't expect was that the mice had long been gone from their home. The Jiang family had no mice, and the five cats were starving, so they could only find food for themselves, and they ruined the ingredients bought by Jiang's mother.
Mother Jiang was furious: "What a bunch of troublesome cats! I told you to catch mice but you didn't catch them. Instead, you came here to ruin the meat I bought!"
But the hungry cat didn't care about her complaints. It just needed to fill its stomach first.
Mother Jiang could only hide the food in the refrigerator or cupboard. The cats couldn't find food, and there were no mice for them to prey on. Father and Mother Jiang didn't give them food, and they locked them in the Jiang house and wouldn't let them go out to hunt. So the five hungry cats began to attack the two unfamiliar two-legged beasts.
Before Mr. and Mrs. Jiang could recover from the rat infestation, they were scratched all over their faces by five cats.
Now they really didn't have the energy to do anything else and quickly went to get the rabies vaccine.
Especially Mr. Jiang, the doctors were all puzzled. How could he be bitten by a mouse and then scratched by a cat?
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang hated these five cats so much that they wanted to beat them to death.
Jiang Miaomiao, who still loves cats, couldn't help but persuade: "These cats belong to other people. If you kill them, you have to pay compensation, right?"
This sentence seemed to remind Jiang's father and mother. They hurriedly returned to their hometown with the cat and the evidence of their rabies vaccination. Then, with scratches all over their faces, they went to the cat owners to demand compensation: "Look at what your dead cats have scratched us into! Pay us! We spent a lot of money on rabies vaccinations, and there are also compensation for lost work and mental damage..."
The relatives and neighbors in their hometown who were kind enough to lend them cats to catch mice were so angry that they thought their good deeds were not rewarded. Their cats were free-range and had never scratched anyone in all their long years living in the village. Why did they start scratching people as soon as they went to the Jiang family in the city?
Considering the usual behavior of Jiang's father and mother, they suspected that they were deliberately extorting money from them and refused to pay compensation, and the two sides became very quarrelsome.
Si Yuan didn't bother to care about how the Jiang family caused relatives and friends to be separated. He only knew that Jiang's father and mother were not at home recently, and the naughty child Jiang Yanyan was not at home either. Only a timid and cowardly Jiang Miaomiao with little sense of existence lived across the street. He felt much more peaceful.
When Father and Mother Jiang come back again, if they continue to make trouble, Si Yuan will summon another group of mice to keep them company, so that they won't be idle and cause trouble again, and all their energy will be wasted on these big black rats.
Although this trick seems old, it is indeed very effective.
Even Grandma Chen sighed, "The people across the street are always infested with rats, so they don't have time to accumulate the garbage and throw it at our doorstep." After all, if garbage accumulates too much at home, it will be more likely to attract rats. So Mr. and Mrs. Jiang dare not accumulate garbage anymore. They just throw away as much garbage as they can every day to ensure that the garbage does not remain overnight.
They didn't dare put the garbage in front of the Chen family's doorstep, for fear that the Chen family would not help them throw away the garbage and would put it back at their doorstep. Now that all their attention was occupied by the rats, they had no energy to compete with the Chen family's grandparents and grandchildren.
Chen Miaoyun also said thankfully: "I heard that there are a lot of rats in the Jiang family. I have always been worried that those rats will come to visit our house. Fortunately, we have Xiaobai at home, so no rats dare to come."
After all, mice would not strictly guard their territory and not visit other people's homes. It was normal for her to worry that the mice from the Jiang family would sneak into her own home, since the two families lived so close.
Si Yuan grinned. How could he let those rats disturb them?
However, he recently noticed that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was gradually becoming richer, and the rats he drove to make trouble in the Jiang family were also becoming a little smarter.
All of these are precursors to the revival of spiritual energy. The time of the revival of spiritual energy is not several years as the system says. Based on Si Yuan's perception of the concentration of spiritual energy, according to the current growth rate, it will only take a few months for the spiritual energy to officially begin to recover.
Even in those places blessed with natural advantages, the spiritual energy is probably already abundant, enough for people to practice.
However, Si Yuan had no intention of heading for those treasure lands with richer spiritual energy. His cultivation did not rely on this little spiritual energy. His realm was there. As long as the spiritual energy revived in the future, his cultivation would also increase rapidly and he would not fall behind at all.
His most important practice is to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth in the small world, enhance the realm of his soul, and improve the realm of his body.
So Si Yuan has been staying in the Chen family with peace of mind, playing the role of a smart and powerful house cat. However, even if he didn't do anything deliberately, he has become the king of pets in the entire Nanshan community.
When he went out to patrol the community, any pet cat or dog he met would stop, lie down respectfully, and wag its tail to show its submission.
Those pet owners were surprised to see their pets' attitude towards Si Yuan. Some even took photos and uploaded them to the Internet, which caused quite a bit of discussion and heat.
However, with the development of the Internet today, nothing is strange anymore. Netizens will be surprised for a while, and then the hype will die down.
After all, compared to the news about the neighborhood Elvis, what attracts more attention are the towering trees that grow more than ten meters overnight and the animals that suddenly grow wings or can breathe fire and water.
Grandma Chen is afraid of being lonely, so even if she doesn't watch TV, she often turns on the TV. Just listening to the sound makes it seem like the house is lively.
So Si Yuan also listened to a lot of news reports and heard news about mutant plants or animals appearing in other places.
The fact that it was reported on TV news proves that it is indeed true, but the fact that it was reported so openly also shows that human officials have not yet paid attention to these mutations and only regard them as individual cases of natural mutations.
As spiritual energy revived, more and more mutations appeared, and Si Yuan never saw any related news reports on TV again.
Obviously, human officials have noticed this aspect.
