Chapter 503 Water dripping from the ceiling(1/2)
20xx. 11. 26
At 0 o'clock in the morning, Min took everyone to the City God's place and told them that a magic dragon had just been killed down below and was specially given to them to eat.
This kind of magic dragon meat is not something that can be eaten casually. It must be cultivated to a certain level before it can be eaten, otherwise it will cause indigestion. Naturally, the four little beauties cannot eat it.
Before Hei Xuan went to the City God, he ran back to the underworld to get some precious medicine for Xiao. We agreed to do double cultivation to help Yuanshen improve her spiritual energy, because she had to go down to fight at any time.
By the time we were ready for double cultivation, it was already one o'clock in the morning. The prelude was good, but Xiao soon couldn't hold it any longer, and we lay in bed speechless for a while.
"Is the medicine Hei Xuan gave you ineffective?" I asked.
"Well, I also feel that the medicine this time is not quite right." Xiao said.
"Hun, I guess Hei Xuan will be hit soon." I said.
"Well, your soul has already rushed out." Xiao responded.
I thought that Hei Xuan might be beaten half to death, so I made a gesture, and Hei Xuan was immediately recalled to my side.
"Heixuan, have you been beaten?" I asked.
"I almost got beaten." Hei Xuan felt aggrieved.
"Then you have to thank me. If I hadn't called you back, you would have been beaten by my spirit because of your incompetence in doing things." I said.
"If your soul hits me, it's because you want to hit me." Hei Xuan muttered.
"I don't want to take the blame. It's Yuanshen who wants to beat you. What does that have to do with me? You don't thank me, but instead you say that I'm the one who wants to beat you. If you had known better, I would have let Yuanshen beat you up." I didn't.
Said angrily.
My soul returned from the outside with an unhappy look on its face and entered the body without saying a word.
"It's okay, just start double cultivation again tonight." I reassured Yuanshen.
"Why do you want to hit me suddenly?" Hei Xuan asked.
"Your medicine is ineffective. Our dual cultivation has failed. You didn't notice that my soul is going crazy." I couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, it's always been the same medicine, so how could it suddenly be ineffective? I'm going to check and find out what's the reason." Hei Xuan refused to accept it.
Xiao and I went to the bathroom to rinse ourselves off and quickly got back into bed. Hei Xuan couldn't wait to rush into the bedroom and jumped on the bed, excitedly telling us that he had found out the reason why the medicine was ineffective.
The reason was that the traditional Chinese medicine Xiao had been drinking for the past few days had a conflicting effect, causing the medicine Hei Xuan brought back to be ineffective.
"Well, that's probably the reason. Everything was fine before, but this time something went wrong after taking Chinese cough medicine. It seems Hei Xuan was wronged." I said.
"Huh!" Hei Xuan felt even more aggrieved.
"Halo, you weren't beaten. Didn't I save you? Okay, hurry back to the City God and eat the magic dragon meat." I comforted him.
Hei Xuan grinned and slipped away in an instant.
"Weier sent four little beauties back first. They were unhappy and said they hadn't eaten anything and were very hungry," Xiao said.
"They can't eat dragon meat. Didn't the city god prepare other food for the little princesses?" I asked.
"There are other foods, but they are not delicious." Xiao Baibai shouted.
"You're the only one who holds it in your mouth, hehe." I laughed.
"I guess Chenghuang's place doesn't have delicious food every day, and you'll get tired of it if you eat too much," Xiao said.
"That's right, that's right, I want to eat ham." Little Black and White became even more presumptuous.
"There is no ham at home." Xiao glared at Xiao Baibai.
"Well, yes, there is. The goods just arrived today. But the weather is too cold, and Grandma Zhu doesn't want to leave the bed. How about I send you back to the inner world and go find the housekeeper to get you something delicious?" I coaxed.
"I don't, I just want to eat ham sausage. The ham sausage tastes good." Little Black and White fussed reluctantly.
I covered myself with a quilt and hid, and Xiao reluctantly got up and left the bedroom.
"I'll get it for them, and I'll have some too," Xiao said.
I turned off the light in the bedroom and felt sleepy.
I don’t know how long I had slept, but Xiao Ye was already sleeping next to me. The door made a "clang" sound and was pushed open, and Yao'er's figure appeared at the door.
"What's wrong? Baby." I stood up and asked.
"Mom, the roof is leaking!" Yao'er shouted.
"Please keep your voice down." I quickly got up and pulled Yao'er out of the bedroom.
The light in Yao'er's room is bright.
"Mom, look, water is dripping from the roof." Yao'er pointed to the ceiling of the bedroom.
I followed Yao'er's hand and saw a small crack in the ceiling above the bed. The water seeping from above condensed into water droplets and fell down, hitting Yao'er's pillow.
The pillow was already a little wet, so I quickly took it off and put other clothes on the pillow to catch the water droplets.
"It's okay, it's just water droplets. It won't affect your sleep. It's already past four in the morning. You should get up and go to school in two hours. You can deal with it during the day." I said.
Yao'er lay down obediently and continued to sleep, and I walked back to my bedroom.
"What's wrong?" Xiao asked while lying on the bed.
I quickly described the situation.
"Yao'er's room is facing the kitchen upstairs. It's probably because the water pipe upstairs is leaking. If there is too much water, it will drip through the floor.
But the person upstairs usually only comes back twice a year, so I’ll go outside and turn off his water valve first.” After Xiao finished speaking, he stood up and left the bedroom.
"Hei Xuan, go upstairs and have a look. If it's a burst water pipe, you'll be in trouble." I said.
Heixuan also left.
In fact, when Xiao and I lived out of town, something like this also happened. At that time, there was a leak under the sink in our home. I don’t know how long it accumulated. It also soaked the ceiling downstairs and damaged it.
The range hood downstairs.
After we discovered the problem, we quickly replaced it with a new set of faucets and delivery pipes, and the problem was solved.
Grandpa Yao'er seemed to be alarmed, and he and Xiao went upstairs and walked into Yao'er's bedroom to check.
"Let's talk during the day. After the water valve is turned off, there should be no more dripping, but there will probably be spots on the ceiling." I also walked to Yao'er's bedroom.
Grandpa Yaoer went downstairs, and Xiao and I walked back to our bedroom together.
"Hei Xuan said there was no burst water pipe upstairs, but you could feel the moisture. It should be what I said. There was a slight leak in the water pipe, and a small amount of water accumulated. And Hei Xuan also felt the Western Devil upstairs.
Breath." Xiao said.
"Oh, the West is really pervasive, even affecting daily life." I said.
"It's okay, I'll close the main valve and they can't move it," Xiao said.
"The four guardians are all in Yao'er's room, are they not aware of it at all?" I asked.
"They were the ones who woke Yao'er up, otherwise Yao'er wouldn't have come over to tell you." Xiao replied.
"Well, let's go to sleep first and talk about it during the day." I said.
Xiao and I slept until we woke up naturally. It was already eleven o'clock. I went to Yaoer's room to check, and sure enough, there was no more dripping.
Grandpa Yaoer has already contacted the owner upstairs. Since the owner lives in another province and cannot come back, he entrusted his brother to come and coordinate the matter.
The person who came was a seventy-year-old man. He looked unhappy and kept saying that it had nothing to do with him. Grandpa Yao'er led the old man upstairs into Yao'er's room and showed him the traces of moisture in the cracks on the ceiling.
.
"This has nothing to do with me upstairs." The old man said unreasonably.
"The top of this house is your kitchen. There is a water leak above. If it accumulates, it will seep and drip downward. We have turned off your water valve.
There will be no water leakage for the time being, but you need to deal with the problem of water pipe leakage." Grandpa Yaoer explained patiently.
"Your ceiling leakage has nothing to do with us!" the old man said stubbornly.
When I stood nearby and heard what the old man said, I felt that he was very unreasonable.
"Everyone, go out and find a sensible person to talk to. We are so scared before we even ask for compensation." I said impatiently.
Yao'er's grandfather and grandma also felt that the old man was unreasonable, so they took the old man out of Yao'er's room.
Xiao and Grandpa Yaoer went upstairs together to check the location of the kitchen in that person's house. Sure enough, there was a puddle of water under the sink.
Xiao Na wiped it with a cloth, and some water seeped out from the ground. It seemed that the water that penetrated into the floor could only be slowly dried up. This matter can only be solved in this way for the time being, and it will be dealt with when the owner upstairs is free to come back.
After lunch, Xiao and I went upstairs to the study.
"Are all the great gods here?" I asked.
"Yes, Xiao Ling will return to the battlefield soon." Xiao said.
"Oh, okay, please pay attention to safety. I will write a few more small time-travel charms for Xiao Ling to take with him." I said.
I was sitting at the desk, concentrating on writing spells, when Grandma Yaoer walked into the study and said that her niece was inviting guests to dinner tomorrow and she was thinking about whether to go.
"We'll make a decision later." Xiao said suddenly.
"That's grandma's private matter, why do you want to interfere? Just let grandma make her own decision." I said.
