Feng Yi just made a temporary excuse to get over this embarrassing situation.
But he knew in his heart that something had indeed changed.
In the morning I ate a large bowl of noodle soup and 10 plus steamed buns. It was not yet noon when I left Xiaofengshan, and my hunger had become more and more obvious.
The good thing is that I prepared a lot of food when I went up the mountain yesterday. Because I was worried about something, my nerves were tense the whole time yesterday, and I had no appetite, so most of the food was left.
"Master, I'll have something to eat in the car." Feng Yi said.
"Eat it, as long as you don't eat instant noodles, durian or anything like that. Pay attention to your safety and don't choke."
The driver drove the car out of the Xiaofengshan Nature Reserve, but he still had the image of the Golden Snake swallowing the frog in his mind, and he couldn't hold it in his mouth.
"There is a saying in our hometown, 'One cauliflower snake on the beam can kill 200 rats in a year'! I don't know which of the two major cauliflower snakes this sentence is talking about, but compare it with the black-browed snake.
The king snake has a slender body, and the short and strong one like the king snake seems to be more edible. The food intake of the king snakes in the reserve now, I think, they eat a lot more mice in a year! Look at those strips
Yes, strong and arrogant!"
"Are you right?" the driver asked Feng Yi.
"Yes!" Feng Yi nodded, "A bunch of foodies!"
Feng Yi finished packing the food in his bag in the car and had another good meal at the airport.
I couldn't bring too much of the equipment I bought at the outdoor store when I came here, so Feng Yi packaged it and sent it back by express.
I didn’t make a reservation before because I didn’t know when I would be able to finish my work, so I bought my flight tickets in cash today. When I returned to Rongcheng, it happened to be during the evening rush hour.
Feng Yi was sitting in the taxi, regretting why he didn't just take the subway.
Outside the car window, the rush hour traffic jam on the elevated highway formed a long snake...
Pooh!
Snake, what kind of snake!
Feng Yi was a little evasive now and didn't want to mention any topic related to snakes. He simply moved his eyes away from paying attention to the long strip on the elevated road. He rubbed his eyebrows and turned on his phone to read the news push.
By the time he got home, it was completely dark. Feeling tired, Feng Yi ordered a takeout for four people, ate it in a hurry, washed up and went to bed. The takeout garbage was simply collected and put aside, planning to sort it tomorrow.
In the middle of the night, most of the residents in the community were asleep.
A mouse crawled from the balcony of the house next door to where Feng Yi lived. When it was about to reach the balcony, it suddenly stopped and sniffed the smell in the air.
In the air, there is the aroma of tempting food.
However, there is also an aura that makes it instinctively fearful.
After hesitating for a while, it finally turned around and crawled downstairs along the outer wall.
Feng Yi had a strange dream all night, but he couldn't remember anything when he woke up.
After disposing of yesterday's garbage, I carefully inspected the house. No trace of mice or cockroaches was found.
not worried.
After breakfast, Feng Yi called the old housekeeper.
This time, the old housekeeper directly made a video call to Feng Yi.
Feng Yi answered: "I came back from Xiaofengshan last night. I have already visited the ancestral home and signed the genealogy."
Butler: "I already know. The money will be transferred to your account later."
On the other side of the video, the old butler's expression was also different from when he first saw him.
On the day we first met, the old housekeeper was polite and polite, but he was more distant. However, at this time, when he looked at Feng Yi through the camera, he seemed to be looking at a milk cat that had just opened its eyes, and he was gentler.
.
Being stared at by such eyes, Feng Yi felt strange, but when he heard that 100 million would be credited to his account immediately, he felt happy. Of course, he was not overjoyed. He now had a lot of doubts in his mind that needed to be resolved.
"I...I think there are some changes in me." Feng Yi said.
"Are you scared?" The butler smiled kindly.
"Not really. I'm just... not used to it." Feng Yi didn't know how to describe this feeling. His instinct told him that this change was beneficial to survival, an advantage, and an evolution. But this change would also make him
perturbed.
"Life, just like everyone else, isn't it too boring?" the housekeeper said.
Feng Yi wiped his face and asked: "Then am I still a human being now?"
"Of course. Why not? You can think of this as humans taking another evolutionary route."
"You too?" Feng Yi asked.
"I'm different from you."
This was quite a subtle statement. But seeing that the housekeeper didn't want to say more, Feng Yi didn't continue to ask about this. He would eventually figure it out.
"Then, what do you think of snakes?" Feng Yi asked.
"What do people think of monkeys? No, they are not even monkeys. They are just pets or food." The housekeeper said calmly.
"...You are not allowed to eat snakes now." Feng Yi reminded.
"Of course, law-abiding citizens." The steward flipped through a document at hand, "In addition to the 100 million, the inheritance that Ms. Feng left you, there are also real estate and stock funds, etc. I will help you take care of these first.
It is secondary. Your main energy now should be on your own changes. In the next period of time, your body will undergo some small changes. When these changes are completed, all the things Ms. Feng left for you will be handed over to you.
In your hands."
Feng Yi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "'Small' change?"
Although real estate stocks are also attractive, Feng Yi is more concerned about the "small changes" that the old steward calls them.
He can earn money and real estate by himself. He can earn as much as he has the ability. He is actually not that obsessed with billionaires. If he doesn't have the ability, he won't be able to keep it no matter how much money is given to him. If he has the ability, he doesn't need others to give him money.
, he can achieve it himself.
But "small changes" are related to himself and beyond his control!
The old butler smiled slightly and reassured: "Don't worry, it's just some small changes. Just pay attention and you won't be noticed by others. If there are any changes, you can call me."
After thinking for a while, the old housekeeper added, "Remember to wear a mask when going out."
After saying that, the communication was disconnected.
Feng Yi thought about the old housekeeper's words.
Let’s summarize the meaning of the following sentences:
First, the change is not a big deal. If you cover it up a little, others will not notice it, and it will not affect your daily life.
Second, that "small change" can probably be solved by wearing a mask. Could it be...teeth?
"At least we're still human!"
Knowing that it didn't turn into something strange, Feng Yi was indeed relieved.
The 100 million promised by the old butler was received before dark that night.
With this huge sum of money, Feng Yi doesn't have to think hard about how to make money. He can buy a few of the luxury cars he coveted before and drive them around. But Feng Yi has no intention of doing this.
He paid back 30 million to the old butler, and he has not touched the remaining money for the time being. The studio has been disbanded, and he is now unemployed. He has to think about what to do in the future and plan. Who knows what else is left in that inheritance?
Can he guarantee his future life? Instead of fantasizing about the things he has not obtained, Feng Yi believes in what he has earned.
But don't worry, the old butler has said that there will be some small changes in him in the next period of time. He needs to find out first what kind of "small" changes there are.
I turned on my phone and looked through the community owner group.
Starting from the afternoon of the day before yesterday, the community organized an extermination of rats, but it was difficult to deal with the rats that had already entered residents' homes.
The property management office has purchased many sticky mouse boards for owners in need to use.
However, when Feng Yi opened the owner group, he saw some owners complaining:
"I received a mouse sticky board from the property management company last week. It was amazing! I stuck it on my whole family, but no mice were caught!"
"Yesterday, another mouse came into the house. I don't know where it got into the house. It's so big! What did it eat to grow up? Did the hormones have an excessive effect on it?"
"High energy warning! [Video] It's crazy enough to open the screen window! If it can't break it, it will open the window! Is it about to become a sperm!!"
"Actually, this kind of big rat has infiltrated into human society for a long time and can understand some words. So the old people always say that when you bait the rat, speak softly or don't speak, so that they won't take the bait if they hear you.
"
"So what to do now! They are a nuisance to the people! A nuisance to the people in every sense of the word!! The combat power ceiling of a nuisance to the people in the city, no other creature can surpass them!!!"
The owner group is almost in a state of mania during this period.
While watching, Feng Yi received a message from Wu Ji.
Wu Ji: [How did you sleep last night? Everyone said that last night was the night when rats made the most noise. 】
