Pet King

In Zhang Zian's childhood memories, this Street often had power outages. Because it was an old residential area, the power capacity of the wires was too poor. During peak periods, the power would trip, especially in the summer.

The summer was hot and humid. Even if people didn't have much money at that time, they still had to turn on the air conditioner when they needed to. They had to boil water to take a bath every day, sometimes more than once a day. In addition, other household appliances often turned off at night when he was focused on watching cartoons. Once there was a power outage, the entire Street would be cut off. The time of the call was uncertain, depending on whether the electrician on the street was free.

Every time there was a power outage, the children who were immersed in the world of animation were disappointed beyond words. If they happened to encounter the climax of the animation, it was even more depressing than failing an exam ...

Later on, with the development of the old city reconstruction work, the power outages gradually decreased. Later on, there were almost no power outages. Children who were born in recent years did not know what power outages were.

If Xu Zhuang Zhuang was born at that time, he wouldn't have to do his homework just because there was a power outage. He would have to do his homework even if he had to light candles.

Normally, a power outage was not a big deal, at least it would not be completely dark. But at this time, Zhang Zian had just closed all the windows and blinds, and even pulled the curtains. The sudden darkness was very uncomfortable for his eyes.

Fortunately, the laptop automatically switched to the built-in battery, and the screen became a small light source. It was better than nothing.

Sihwa's scream came from the bathroom.""Who turned off the lights?"

"Squeak?"

Pi found that the internet was cut off, and the computer couldn't get online.

Although the laptop had a battery, the router didn 't. Even if the network cable was unplugged and plugged directly into the computer's network port, it would be useless because the router set up by the telecom company outside was probably out of power.

Zhang Zian shared the hotspot on his phone with the laptop, and then asked Pi to save what it should save, because the battery of this old laptop couldn't last long.

He felt around in the dark and walked into the bathroom. He saw that Sihwa's phone was also lit up.

Most of her body was out of the water, and she was leaning against the edge of the bathtub against the wall. Her face and phone were pressed against the very small window of the bathroom, and she was filming the situation outside.

"Why did you turn off the lights? You even want to save on such a small electricity bill?" She turned around and said angrily,"I was just about to broadcast the typhoon live to my fans!"

"Live broadcast my ass, there's a power outage."

Zhang Zian explained briefly and closed the blinds of the bathroom. The whole bathroom was almost dark, and only her phone screen was still lit.

"Ha? When is the call coming? It must be because you live in such a shabby house that the power went out!" She called out anxiously.

Zhang Zian suspected that this guy had already suffered from cell phone dependence like many other people. It was fine if he didn't eat for a day, but his life would be dark if he didn't play with his cell phone for a day ...

"It's hard to say when the call will come. At least, the possibility of it coming today is not high. It might be two or three days." He said. Due to the interference of the wind, rain, and Thunder, the netizens in the live broadcast room could hardly hear his voice.

"Two or three days?" She scratched her head in despair."I'm going to die! Also, why did you close the window? I'm going to broadcast the typhoon Live!"

Zhang Zian found a candle from the bathroom cabinet, lit it with a lighter, and put one on the edge of the bathtub. The dim yellow light illuminated the bathroom.

"The atmosphere isn't bad. I'll livestream ghost stories. It might be popular." He said.

After leaving the bathroom, Zian also put a candle on the desk to help Pi light up, and closed all the windows and blinds in the other bedrooms and storage rooms.

The raindrops fell on the roof, and the sound came down from the ceiling. The drainage holes in the eaves were like a tap, draining water out. He checked the ceiling of the second floor with his phone. There were no signs of water leakage. He hoped that welder Zhao's roof waterproof could withstand the typhoon.

He went downstairs and saw that the staff had already closed all the doors and windows, and sealed the door with tape and plastic bags. With such heavy rain, the city's drainage system might not be able to discharge the accumulated water in time to prevent the accumulated water from the streets from pouring into the store.

The most troublesome part about the power outage was the cooling system in the aquarium. He had a small generator that he used when he helped little white, which could maintain the water circulation and supply system in the aquarium. Otherwise, it would not take long for the Marine creatures to turn over. He also used a cold cabinet to freeze ice to prevent power outages caused by typhoons, so he could still hold on for the time being.

Since everyone was on the first floor, he lit a few candles on the first floor and tried his best to light up the first floor.

Little celery couldn't help, and everyone was afraid that she would get hurt, so they didn't ask her to help. She sat obediently next to the cashier. When she saw the light, she opened her bag and took out her homework.

She wasn't like Xu Zhuang Zhuang, who planned to let her homework go on its own. Instead, she planned to start doing her homework. After all, the teacher had left too much homework, and if she didn't hurry up, she might not be able to finish it.

"Little celery, don't write anymore. It's too dark. It'll hurt your eyes." Wang Qian kindly reminded him,"it's fine if you don't do your homework once or twice. It's not worth wearing glasses in the future for this."

"It's fine, it's not dark. " Little celery waved her hand and insisted on doing her homework.

At this moment, the first floor suddenly became much brighter. Although it was not as bright as usual, at least it was not too dark.

Zhang Zian walked over with the only emergency light in the shop and put it on the cashier's desk."I'll leave this light here. You can write if you want."

"Waa! Thank you, Mr. Manager!" Little celery clapped her hands in surprise.

She spread out her homework and, with the help of the light, began to write it stroke by stroke.

Although the windows and doors were closed, it was impossible to completely isolate the house from the outside. There was a strong wind outside, but a light wind inside. The shutter doors and blinds were constantly clattering. The whole house was like a rusty machine.

Sometimes, the curtain Door seemed to be hit by something in the wind. It could be a branch or some other debris, making a loud noise that shocked everyone in the room.

Through the glass door, they saw that the rolled-up Curtain Door had a few dents in it. Without the protection of the rolled-up Curtain Door, the glass door might have been broken.

"Master, do you have Mahjong here? Since I'm bored, why don't we play a few games?" Li Kun suggested.

"That's a good idea,"Wang Qian agreed."Don't they say that the sound of the wind, rain, and Mahjong is pleasing to the ear? It's just right for the occasion!"

Zhang Zian glared at them, then used his eyes to signal to little celery. He was trying to say,"she's doing her homework here, and you're playing mahjong nearby. Is this appropriate?"

Little celery generously said that it didn't matter.

The two of them pondered for a moment. It seemed like they really shouldn't do such a thing that would harm others and benefit themselves. Should they go to the aquarium next door to play mahjong?

Zhang Zian glanced around the store and seemed to find something missing.
