Chapter 11 Cockroach Fortune
Today is destined to be an unusual day, because something unusual is happening everywhere in this coastal city.
A young girl stood by the roadside waiting for the bus. She had earplugs in her ears and gently threw a coin in her hand. The girl is fresh and sweet, and her face is full of sweet smiles, because she is going to date her beloved man now. At the thought of that funny and handsome man, the girl's heart is about to get drunk.
At this time, the girl's phone suddenly rang. She was in a hurry to take out the phone, but the coin in her hand accidentally rolled to the ground.
Damn it! The girl stopped at her feet when she saw the coin, so she was not in a hurry to answer the phone first.
"I'm already out." The girl's voice is also so crisp and sweet
At this moment, the bus slowly came from a distance. The girl bent down to pick up the coin while making a phone call, but she found that the coin was missing!
"It's strange..." The girl muttered in a low voice, and then she stood up and turned over her handbag and said urgently to the phone, "The car is coming. Let's not talk about it. See you later..."
And the coin that the girl dropped just now was being pushed into the sewer by two thumb-sized cockroaches...
In a community somewhere in the city, a young mother is playing in the shade with her son and dog.
This is a surrounded green space. The mother sat on the bench and looked through the magazine, while the three-year-old child chased the golden retriever on the lawn.
Originally, the family was enjoying the comfortable time in the afternoon, but at this time, a dark tide suddenly appeared at the end of the grass!
I don't know where the thing came from, but it spreads very fast. They rolled like a tide on the green lawn and kept sweeping towards the child standing in the center of the lawn and the golden retriever.
The child's eyes were wide open, and what was revealed in his eyes was obviously fear. And the dog also bowed its back and made a snoring sound, as if facing a great enemy.
However, the black wave did not seem to mean to attack them, but as they rolled, one or two pieces of metal reflections looked so dazzling in the dark shadow.
"Wow! "Wow!" The golden retriever finally roared loudly twice, and the child waited until the mass of things rushed to his feet to see that there were countless black bugs crawling forward quickly, causing the illusion of undercurrent surging.
However, the light mixed in those bugs is sent from metal coins, but what are these black beetles doing?
"Huanhuan, don't scream, have a good time with the baby." The young woman obviously didn't know what was going on behind her. Her attention was still on the new autumn clothes in the magazine. How could she see the strange scene that happened before?
The black tide skipped the side of the child and the golden retriever. The golden retriever stretched out its paw and pressed a black bug from it. It bent down to see what it was. It was the bug that quickly climbed out from under its claws, shook its beard like a demonstration, and then suddenly lit up its wings on its back.
The Golden Retriever had never seen such a thing, so it was terruffed to take two steps back and then shouted a few more.
The army of insects swept almost the whole lawn, and then crawled into the sewer outside the lawn as if organized.
"Wow..." The child seemed to recover at this time. He cried with fear, which made the young woman have to put down the magazine in her hand and stand up.
"Huanhuan, are you disobedient?" When the young woman turned around, the black beetles had just disappeared into the sewer. The boy pointed to his mother's direction and cried heartbreakingly, while the dog chased to the mouth of the water and kept sniffing something.
"I told you not to be obedient!" The mother thought it was a pet dog that made the child cry, so she angrily hit the golden retriever on the head, and then stood by the sewer and spread her arms to her son: "Come on, good son, let your mother hug you." But the child stood there motionless, as if he was a little afraid of his mother.
"This child." The young woman said to herself, and then walked into the lawn helplessly, leaving only the aggrieved golden retriever.
The music square in the center of the city is already evening, and more and more people are pouring into this square for leisure and entertainment. At this time, the music square will play world-famous songs, and the surrounding fountains will also work at the same time. The water droplets ejected with the rhythm of the music are like bright gems under the light of colorful neon.
There is a wishing pool in the middle of the music square. At this time, white calla lilies were blooming in the pool. In the middle of the pool, there is a statue of a white child. The child's hands are folded together, and there are several coins in it. It is said that if he can throw the coin into the child's hand, his wish will be fulfilled.
Because of this wishing pool, a thick layer of coins has been laid at the bottom of the pool, especially under the child statue.
"Honey, what do you wish for?" A girl looked at her boyfriend crazily, while the boy stared at the child's closed hand and was ready to throw the coin in.
"Wait a minute, you will know what your wish is when you finish throwing it away." The boy was about to throw out the coin in his hand, but his outstretched arm suddenly paused in mid-air.
The girl beside him saw that her boyfriend's movements were stuck, so she looked at him curiously, but saw that the boy's eyes were a little straight.
"What's wrong? Don't scare me!" The girl took her boyfriend's arm, pointed to the pool, and then asked the girl to look quickly.
"What is that?" The couple looked at the bottom of the pool. Although most of the space inside was occupied by lotus flowers, they could still see the bottom of the pool with flashing lights through the leaves.
A substance like black oil spreads rapidly at the bottom of the pool, and its speed can't be expressed in words.
Then, a whirlpool suddenly appeared on the surface of the pool, and the people around him looked over there. Someone's eyes found that the drainage pipe at the bottom of the pool had been opened, and the water on the surface of the pool was being pumped out along the pipe. The pool water, which was originally more than one meter deep, quickly disappeared into the sewer at a speed of sight.
"Please make way, it's just a minor accident." The two staff found that something was wrong here, so they quickly rushed over and squeezed into the crowd. They jumped into the pool in rubber boots. One of them explained loudly to the people around him: "It's just that there is a small problem with the water outlet pipe, and it can be solved immediately."
But when the worker groped for it and walked in, he opened the lotus that was in the way and found that all the coins that had been covered at the bottom of the pool had disappeared!
"Where is the money?" The staff found this, and the people standing next to the pool also saw the smooth bottom of the pool. Were those coins taken away by the whirlpool just now?
The staff also seemed to be a little unbelievable. They opened each lotus leaf in turn, but the result was the same every time, and the bottom of the pool was cleaner than their faces.
"It's impossible!" One of the staff looked at his companions beside him in surprise, because even if the inlet was opened, some coins were rolled in because of the water, but it was only limited to the outlet. But now even the coins far away from the drainage pipe are gone. This kind of thing can't be solved at all!
"It's better to react to the superior..." In addition, the staff member was obviously a little at a loss.
"Husband, what's going on?" The previous couple still stood there in a silly way. The girl gently took the boy's arm, and the boy didn't know whether it was unintentional or intentional. The coin in the palm of his hand shook and fell into the pool.
Ding! The coin bounced at the bottom of the pool and then rolled towards Lianye. Because of what happened just now, the ordinary coin, which could no longer be ordinary, suddenly attracted the eyes of almost everyone present.
"Let's go and have a look!" One of the staff members was close, so he took the lead in chasing the direction of the coin rolling down.
The coin rolled on the ground and finally stopped, but when the staff uncovered the lotus leaf, he found that the coin had disappeared again...
"What is that?" A man pointed in the direction of the drain and shouted. The person closer to him looked over there and saw that the coin moved to the outlet little by little! When everyone looked carefully, they found that there was a black bug on the front and back of the coin, pulling the coin.
"What the hell!" One of the staff rushed to the outlet in two or three steps, and then stepped on the two insects! When he raised his foot, he found that the coin had disappeared, and only the body of a bug was left on the other side of the outlet pipe.
The staff member bent down and looked at it for a long time before he raised his head and said with surprise, "Croach?"
"No way?" Naturally, his companion did not believe it, but when he walked over, he found that the bug was indeed a cockroach.
"What kind of world is it? Even cockroaches come out to make money?" The staff twisted the body of the cockroach and carefully observed it under the light and found that the cockroach was no different from the ordinary cockroach.
"How to report up? Can the boss believe it?" One of them sighed and was obviously very tricky about this matter.
"What else can I do if I'm not honest? There are so many people and eyes around us, and we didn't swallow the money ourselves!" In addition, the staff member has nothing to do, because this wishing pool cleans up the coins at the bottom of the pool once a week. They are specially responsible for this work and know that there are no 10,000 or 8,000 coins lost this time...
This thing is a little big...
