Chapter 14 Bird Bamboo, Cat Flower, Snow Red

With a creak, the iron door of the room on the right side of the first floor of 720 opened.

Then another creak, and the unit door of the 720 opened.

Jing Jiu walked into the snowflakes and habitually lifted up the blue hoodie hat and covered his head.

Hua Xi tried hard to close the unit door, tightened the black backpack behind her tightly, and followed Xue Ji behind him and walked out of the community.

Xue Ji is indeed very small, and her appearance and appearance really look like a cute doll, but she still looks a little big and can easily attract attention when she is held in her arms by a little girl like Huaxi.

Logically speaking, she should stay at home, but just like Jing Jiu subconsciously did not dare to leave her, she did not dare to leave Jing Jiu for too long.

The snow is so strong and the wind is so cold, so it is very important to hold a group to keep warm, even if they are the two strongest guys in Chaotian Continent.

The snow was white, like a felt. The footprints left by the lady named Eve last night had long been covered, and there was only a row of bamboo leaves on the ground in the flower bed. It should have been a bird that had just passed by not long ago.

Leaving the living area, they took the subway to the city center.

This planet is now strictly prohibited from taking off and landing, and is in a de facto blockade, but it actually does not have much impact on the people living here. Just like the conversations between the teenagers on the basketball court yesterday, even if there is no blockade, how many people can afford a ticket to leave the planet?

After the pirate family that had been entrenched here for many years was destroyed by military warships, the government's power was given more opportunities to show its strength. It was even better for the people in some aspects than before, such as various benefits, such as tutoring classes in the activity center, such as public security.

There were not many people on the subway, and they sat at a suitable social distance between not far and near. Occasionally, someone cast curious eyes at the dolls held by Huaxi, but no one asked.

When we arrived at Xigu Station, according to the traffic instructions on the promotional page, Jingjiu and Huaxi got off the subway. After looking at the traffic instructions for a while, they found the exit 16.2. Fortunately, the building in the city's activity center is very large, like a mountain, lying in the center of the square. You can see it when you walk out of the subway and you won't get lost again.

Before coming to the activity center, Jing Jiu clumsyly stretched out his left hand and leaned his bracelet against the scanning instrument. Hua Xi opened his eyes wide, and followed his movements as he followed his movements, and passed through the scanning door with two whistles.

The security guard saw that there were some problems with their intelligence, and did not make any difficulties, and patiently asked them what they were going to do.

Huaxi became very nervous when asked, and hid behind Jing Jiu timidly. After listening to the other party in a daze, Jing Jiu took out the publicity page and put it in front of the security guard. The security guard looked at the contact number of the official left on the publicity page and made a call for them. Not long after, Ms. Eve hurried out of the elevator.

Ms. Eve was a little surprised when she saw Hua Xi behind Jing Jiu. She immediately remembered that there were only two brothers and sisters in their family to depend on each other. She understood why, and smiled and introduced herself, took them to the building, and asked Jing Jiu softly: "Do you want to learn basic instrumental music introductory courses or harmonica specialty courses?"

Jing Jiu thought for a long time, nodded, and then remained silent for a long time. The atmosphere in the elevator became a little weird. At this moment, a slight sound of Huaxi like a mosquito came from behind him: "He wants to learn piano."

Ms. Eve was surprised again. She subconsciously looked at Jing Jiu's hand and found that his fingers were slender and beautiful, looking like a pair of piano-playing hands. She couldn't help but laugh and asked Hua Xi: "What about you? Do you want to learn something too?"

Hua Xi was still hiding behind Jing Jiu, lowered her head and pressed her back, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "No, I'll find a place to sit and wait for my brother."

Eve listened to her voice and felt more pity, and said in a harmonious voice: "Will I take you to the room after signing up later?"

Huaxi nodded softly.

The elevator door opened, Ms. Eve led the way in front, Jing Jiu followed her, Hua Xi hugged the doll that was half a tall one, and quickly followed.

No one noticed that the doll's bow hairpin trembled slightly.

The chin cicada felt very tired.

Huaxi did not answer the questions at all. Those mosquito-like sounds were all made by mosquitoes.

...

...

After taking Jing Jiu to register, she sent her to the piano class, and then took Huaxi to the room, asking her to remember her bracelet contact number and not to run around casually. Ms. Eve returned to the office to continue her business.

One hour and fifty minutes later, the bracelet vibrated slightly from the alarm clock. She rubbed her slightly sluggish eyes, stopped the second login halfway into work, walked outside the piano class classroom, looked into the classroom, and saw the boy wearing a blue hoodie at a glance.

During the lockdown period, the government's various aids were very timely and generous, but it was impossible to put dozens of pianos in the activity center of a city. There were only five different pianos in the classroom. The students participating in the courses were virtual electronic harpsichords in front of them. The children's fingers kept playing in the air, feeling sad, but they were a little cute.

Ms. Eve noticed that Jing Jiu's hands were placed on her knees, looking very well-behaved, but she never had the piano movements, and couldn't help but worry that he wouldn't be able to keep up with the class.

At this time, the melodious electronic music sounded, which meant that today's course ended. The piano teacher saw Eve and greeted him with a wry smile, whispering in her ear: "The student you introduced listened very seriously, but it seemed... a little slow, much more serious than you said."

Eve's eyes crossed her shoulders and looked into the classroom. She found that Jing Jiu was still sitting in her seat honestly. For some reason, she felt a little sad and said to the teacher: "I can only trouble you with more patience."

After class, Jing Jiu did not get up and leave immediately. It was not because he was reserved, courageous or dull, but because he felt that the electronic music was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, which reminded him of the strange umbrellas he saw in his early light yesterday, and also reminded him of the golden leaves and some girls.

"Lian, get out of class is over." Eve shouted into the classroom.

Jing Jiu stood up and turned mechanically to walk out the door, his movements seemed very slow.

In order to hide his emotional changes, the piano teacher put one hand on his forehead and covered his eyes. When he came to his side, he calmed down and said seriously: "I think you can learn these introductory scales, but if you don't understand, you should ask questions actively. Go back home... well... think more about what you are in class today."

The teacher originally wanted to ask him to go home and practice more, and not be as nervous as in class. Suddenly, he thought that there would be no piano at home, and even the electronic harpsichord could not be afforded, so he quickly changed the topic. Ms. Eve naturally heard it, and patted him on the shoulder gratefully, and took Jing Jiu to the room to pick up Huaxi.

Huaxi was watching TV with a baby in the room, and her favorite cartoon was displayed on the TV.

There were a few children who were obviously much younger than her. They looked at her from a not far away, a little scared and envious, and they didn't know what stories had happened here.

After sending them downstairs, Ms. Eve remembered something and asked them to wait a while. Not long after, she ran back panting and handed over a bag of pastries.

There is no problem with the government's grain rationing, but this exquisite pastry is difficult to buy.

The city's security has been really good recently. The police station's patrols are very strong, and the strong men who often appeared above the city in the past few years have long disappeared. I don't know if they died in the military's clearance or escaped before the planet was closed.

People in the subway are still sitting at a distance of not far or near. The carriage is very quiet and can only hear the low buzzing sounds from the suspended tracks. The light and shadow advertisements outside the window should be during the replacement period. They look a little dark, and of course they are just used as mirrors, if you have this interest.

A tall and thin man came up to Yanshan, wearing a beige windbreaker and a black mask on his face, walked to the opposite side of Jingjiu and Huaxi.

The few dozen passengers in the car subconsciously dispersed to the distance, like dots on a blown balloon or stars in the Big Bang.

Jing Jiu looked down at the light that flashed quickly on the floor, imagining it as the black and white keys of a piano, playing silently in his heart, without even noticing who was sitting opposite him.

Hua Xi opened her eyes wide and looked at the man in the windbreaker opposite curiously without any fear.

No episodes happened either.

The two got off the subway, walked across the stadium in the snow, walked through the scarred old wall hit by the skateboard, walked through the lake covered with wild reeds, walked through the garbage dump, passed through a small door and returned to 720.

It was already evening, the street lights were gradually brightening, and dim and warm lights were gradually lit up in other buildings.

The snow surface in the flower bed was illuminated. In addition to the bird's claws like bamboo leaves, there was a row of cat footprints like plum blossoms, and some bright red blood stains were scattered in front of them.

Just seeing the remaining traces, you can imagine the sharp scene of a wild cat prey on a bird.

Xue Ji looked at the snow, and a sense of appreciation flashed in her black black eyes, and she stretched out her round little hand and snapped her fingers silently.

The lights in the room on the first floor of 720 were on, and then several more rooms on the third and fourth floors and sixth floors were on.

There are no one else in this building, only they live here. The order and distribution of lights in those rooms seem to be random and have no rules. In fact, it is very particular, which will make all humans who see it feel like this, like home.

Jing Jiu looked at the rooms with lights on and said slowly, "It seems...chess...well...stars."

When you get home, the first thing you do is of course cook.

As soon as the steamer was opened, the mist came naturally, and the fragrance of the pastry had not yet been heard. The windows in the kitchen that were exposed to the balcony were covered with a thick layer of frost, covering the picture outside.

Huaxi vaguely felt something outside, thinking that it was a cat rushing at the bird again, and reached out to wipe off the fog from the window, and saw the man in the windbreaker he met on the subway standing on the flower bed.

She thought to herself that it was a coincidence that he also lived in this community. She smiled foolishly and nodded to the other party.
