Following Wu Yali to the second floor, Xu Tongdao discovered that there were two rooms upstairs in her house, which could be regarded as a suite! From this room at the top of the stairs, you can go to the east room.
Wu Yali led him quickly to the east room. As soon as she entered the door, she stopped and pointed to the large wood-colored wardrobe in the southeast corner of the room.
Do you see those plastic pots I put on top?"
Because she stopped too suddenly, Xu Tongdao almost bumped into her back. Fortunately, he stopped in time, but because he was so close, he accidentally smelled the fragrance of shampoo in her hair, which he felt was a little bit...
Like a soft fragrance...
Of course, it didn't matter whether it was Rejoice or not. He quickly took half a step back and looked in the direction of her finger. He saw a large wardrobe about two meters high and one meter long in the corner. On the top of the wardrobe
There were indeed several red and green plastic pots placed there, and there was indeed rainwater dripping into the plastic pots on the roof, as if water was dripping from a faucet that was not closed tightly.
When Wu Yali came in just now, she had already turned on the lights in the room. Comrade Xu's eyesight was pretty good. He could see clearly through squinting that a few of the wooden rafters on the roof were soaked. The water got wet from those rafters.
dripping from the see-through rafters.
Small second-floor buildings with tiled roofs like this are quite common in this county.
And this kind of tiled roof has the possibility of rain leakage.
"Sister Wu, you want to move this wardrobe to another location, right?"
When Comrade Xu asked this question, he glanced at the furnishings in the room. At a glance, there were not many furniture in this room, which was quite simple. Apart from the large wardrobe, it was just a wooden bed without a quilt. Visual inspection
It is about one and a half meters wide, and there is a wooden table and a chair next to the window.
This room must not have been occupied for a long time.
Wu Yali: "Yes! You see the water dripping from the top of the closet is quite fast. Haha, since noon, I have gone upstairs and poured water into the basins on the top of the closet twice. If you do it tonight
If I hadn't come here, I would probably have to come back once or twice in the middle of the night to pour water, otherwise the basin would be full and the water would flow out and wet the cupboard. By the way, I still have a few quilts in the cupboard.
Do I need to move them out first?”
Xu Tongdao: "Let me take a look!"
As he said that, Tongdao Xu strode over, opened the closet door, and saw that there were only three or four quilts in the closet, so he immediately took out all the quilts and placed them on the wooden bed not far away.
Wu Yali wanted to step forward to help, but he sent her to move the chair.
After he moved several quilts to the bed, Wu Yali also moved the wooden chair by the window.
"Sister Wu, I'm going to take down the basins on the top of the cupboard now. Please help me pick them up. Otherwise, when we move the wardrobe, the basins will fall off easily."
"Oh, okay, okay! Excuse me, Xiaodao."
"Are you polite to me?"
As Xu Tongdao spoke, he took off his rubber boots, stepped on the wooden chair, and reached for the plastic basin on the top of the cupboard. When Wu Yali saw it, she quickly reached out to hold the back of the chair and reminded Xu Tongdao, "Be careful! Don't do it."
falling down."
"Don't worry, Sister Wu!"
The surface height of the chair is about half a meter. Xu Tongdao is just over 1.7 meters tall, which adds up to about 2.2 meters. The top of the wardrobe is only about 2.3 or 2.4 meters, so he stood on the chair and
You can easily reach the plastic basins on the top of the cupboard.
Therefore, this job is not difficult for him.
Tongdao Xu originally planned to take down several plastic basins one by one and hand them to Wu Yali, but when he reached out to take down the first plastic basin, he saw that there was only two or three centimeters of water inside, and he changed his mind.
He didn't rush to hand the basin to Wu Yali, but handed the basin to his left hand, then took the second plastic basin with his right hand, and filled the second plastic basin with a shallow layer of water.
Pour it into the basin on your left hand, and then hand the plastic basin without water to Wu Yali on the ground.
Wu Yali chuckled lightly, and when she took the plastic basin, she even praised: "Xiaodao, you are very smart!"
Comrade Xu smiled and said casually: "Just so so."
So I reached for the third plastic basin and prepared to handle it as before. There were only three plastic basins placed on the top of the wardrobe.
Just when the third plastic basin was taken off the top of the closet, an accident suddenly happened. A small but lively little animal... I don't know if it was scratched by the bottom of the basin, but it was.
Suddenly it fell from the top of the wardrobe, and... it happened to fall into Wu Yali's shallow, snow-white clavicle. The touch of the four claws on her skin made her turn pale and scream in shock.
With a loud sound, he quickly threw away the empty basin in his hand, and hurriedly patted his collarbone. His feet were jumping around as if they were burning. His screams scared Comrade Xu who was sitting on the chair and almost swayed.
He fell, and then he really fell, because Wu Yali, who was slapping and jumping around, accidentally bumped into him, causing a loud bang and a loud bang...
The world is quiet.
The chair fell to the ground, and Comrade Xu fell beside him, frowning and biting his lips, which looked like he was constipated.
A red plastic basin that had just been filled with water was placed upside down not far from his face. A large piece of his chest was wet. Wu Yali covered her mouth with one hand and pressed her collarbone with the other, looking at the unlucky Xu Comrade on the ground in surprise.
Comrade Xu bit his lip and looked at her, his expression... quite painful and speechless.
"Xiao, Xiaodao, are you okay?"
Wu Yali finally came to her senses, walked over quickly, squatted beside Xu Tongdao and stretched out her hand to help him. Xu Tongdao exhaled, bared his teeth, and asked her, "Sister Wu, what happened to you just now? You reacted so bigly?"
In fact, he didn't see clearly what fell from the top of the closet just now.
"I, I don't know, something happened to fall on me, and it grew several legs, really! When those feet stepped on me, all the hairs on my body stood up.
, my heart almost jumped out of my chest just now, really! I definitely didn’t lie to you..."
Wu Yali explained with a blushing face. While explaining, she stretched out her hands to make gestures. Xu Tongdao listened, but his eyes glanced around. She had just finished explaining here, and Xu Tongdao looked at a section of the ground not far away that was still twisting and turning.
He raised his little tail, sighed dejectedly, nuzzled his lips over there, and said, "It should be a little gecko, look!"
Wu Yali was stunned. She looked in the direction of his mouth and saw the thin tail on the ground. She was stunned, "Well, is that a gecko tail?"
Comrade Xu nodded.
Wu Yali may have never seen a gecko, but Xu Tongdao grew up in a rural area and has seen a gecko more than once. Knowing that this thing is in danger, he will take the initiative to leave a small tail to make money for traveling, and then quickly escape.
But today, this frightened little gecko frightened Wu Yali terribly and also knocked Comrade Xu seriously. Is the small amount of money it left behind enough to compensate?
