Chapter 903 Bird Bamboo, Cat Flower, Snow Red

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

Then there was another squeak, and the door of the 720 unit opened.

Jing Jiu walked into the snowflakes, and habitually lifted the hood of his blue hoodie to cover his head.

Huaxi closed the door of the unit with some difficulty, tightened the black backpack behind him, hugged Xueji and followed him to the outside of the community.

Xue Ji is indeed very small, and her appearance and appearance are really like a cute doll, but she still looks a little big when hugged by a little girl like Huaxi, and she is easy to attract attention.

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

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

The snow is as white as felt, and the footprints left by the lady named Eve last night have long been covered, only a row of bamboo leaves on the ground in the flower bed, it should be that a bird passed by not long ago.

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

This planet is now strictly forbidden to take off and land any aircraft, and it is in a de facto blockade, but it does not have much impact on the people living here, just like the conversations of those teenagers on the basketball court yesterday. Even if there is no blockade, how many people can afford 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 got more opportunities to show off. For the people, it is even better than before in some aspects, such as various benefits, such as those tutoring classes in the activity center, such as security.

There were not many people on the subway, and they sat at a suitable social distance. Occasionally, some people cast curious glances at the doll Huaxi was holding, but no one asked questions.

When they arrived at Xigu Station, Jing Jiu and Huaxi got off the subway according to the traffic instructions on the promotional page. After looking at the traffic map for a long time in a daze, they found Exit 16.2. Fortunately, the building of the city's activity center is very large, like a mountain lying in the center of the square, you can see it when you step out of the subway, and you won't get lost again.

Before coming to the activity center, Jing Jiu stretched out his left hand somewhat awkwardly, leaning the ring on the scanning instrument. Huaxi opened his eyes wide, imitated his movements and did the same, and passed the scanning door with two soft beeps.

The security saw that they had some intellectual problems, so they didn't make any trouble, and asked them patiently what they were going to do.

When Huaxi was questioned, she became very nervous and timidly hid behind Jing Jiu. After listening to what the other party said in a daze, Jing Jiu took out the leaflet and put it in front of the security guard. The security guard looked at the officials' contact numbers on the leaflet 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 Huaxi behind Jing Jiu. She immediately remembered that there were only two brothers and sisters in their family, and she understood why. She introduced herself with a smile, led them to the building, and asked Jing Jiu softly, "Do you want to learn the basic instrumental music course or the harmonica specialization course?"

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

Ms. Eve was surprised again. She looked at Jing Jiu's hands subconsciously, and found that his fingers were slender and beautiful, which looked like a pair of hands playing the piano. She couldn't help laughing, and asked Huaxi, "What about you? Do you want to learn something too?"

Huaxi still hid behind Jing Jiu, lowered her head against his back, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "No, I'll just find a place to sit and wait for brother."

Hearing her voice, Eve felt more compassionate in her heart, and said in a harmonious voice, "Then I'll take you to the reading room after the club has registered, okay?"

Huaxi hummed lightly.

The elevator door opened, Ms. Eve led the way, Jing Jiu followed her, Huaxi hugged the doll half as tall as her, and quickened her pace to follow.

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

Han Chan felt very tired.

Huaxi didn't answer the question at all, those mosquito-like sounds were made by it.

...

...

After registering with Jing Jiu, she sent her to the piano class, and then took Huaxi to the reading room, and asked her to remember her contact number on her wristband, and not to run around at will. Ms. Eve went back to the office and continued to deal with her own affairs.

An hour and fifty-five minutes later, the wristband gave off a slight vibration of the alarm clock. She rubbed her somewhat astringent eyes, stopped the half-way secondary registration work, walked outside the classroom of the piano class, looked into the classroom, and saw the boy in the blue hoodie at a glance.

During the blockade period, the government’s various aids were very timely and generous, but it was impossible to put dozens of pianos in an activity center in a city. There were only five pianos of different styles in the classroom, and the students who participated in the course were surrounded by virtual electronic harpsichords.

Ms. Eve noticed that Jing Jiu put his hands on his knees, looking very well-behaved, but he never played the piano, and couldn't help but worry that he would not be able to keep up with the lessons.

At this time, melodious electronic music sounded, which meant that today's class was over. When the piano teacher saw Eve, he came up to her with a wry smile, and whispered in her ear, "The student you introduced listened very carefully, but it seemed... a little dull, much more serious than what you said."

Eve looked over her shoulder and looked into the classroom, and found that Jing Jiu was still sitting obediently on the seat. For some reason, she felt a little sad, and said to the teacher, "I can only trouble you to be more patient."

After class, Jing Jiu didn't get up and leave immediately. It wasn't because he was cautious or timid or slow, but he felt that the electronic music was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. It reminded him of those strange umbrellas he saw in the corner of his eye yesterday, and reminded him of golden leaves and some girls.

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

Jing Jiu stood up, turned mechanically and walked towards the door, his movements seemed very slow.

In order to hide his emotional changes, the piano teacher put one hand on his forehead, covered his eyes, and calmed down when he came to him, and said seriously: "I think you can learn the basics of scales, but if you don't understand anything, you should actively ask questions. Go home... um... think about what you have learned in class today."

The teacher originally wanted to tell him to go home and practice more, and not to be so nervous like in class, but suddenly thought that it is impossible for him to have a piano at home, and he might not even be able to afford an electronic light keyboard, so he quickly changed the subject. Ms. Eve naturally recognized it, patted him on the shoulder gratefully, and took Jing Jiu to the reading room to pick up Huaxi.

Huaxi is holding the doll in the reading room and watching TV, and her favorite cartoon is playing on the TV.

There are a few children who are obviously much younger than her, looking at her not far away, a little scared and a little envious, not knowing what happened here.

After sending them downstairs, Ms. Eve thought of something and told them to wait a while. After a short while, she ran back out of breath and handed over a bag of pastries.

There is nothing wrong with government food rationing, but the delicate pastry is harder to come by.

The law and order in the city is really good recently, and the police station has a strong patrol force, and those strong men who often appeared above the city in the past few years have long since disappeared. I don't know if he died in the military's suppression, or if he escaped before the planet was closed.

People in the subway are still sitting at a distance. The carriage is very quiet, only the low humming from the suspension track can be heard. The light and shadow advertisement outside the window should be during the replacement period, and it looks a little dark. Of course, it can also be used as a mirror, if you have such an interest.

A tall, thin man came up from Yanshan Station, wearing a beige trench coat and a black mask, walked to sit opposite Jing Jiu and Huaxi.

The few dozen passengers in the carriage subconsciously dispersed into the distance, like dots on an inflated balloon, or stars in the process of the Big Bang.

Jing Jiu looked down at the light flashing across the floor, imagining it as the black and white keys of a piano, playing silently in his heart, not even noticing who was sitting across from him.

Huaxi opened her eyes wide, looking curiously at the man in the windbreaker opposite, without any fear.

No episode happened either.

The two got off the subway, walked across the court in light snow, walked past the old wall scarred by skateboards, walked past the lake full of wild reeds, walked past the garbage dump, and returned to 720 through a small gate.

It was already evening, the street lamps were gradually turning on, and the other buildings gradually lit up with dim and warm lights.

The snow surface in the flower bed was illuminated. In addition to the bamboo leaf-like bird paw prints, there was also a line of plum blossom-like cat footprints, and some bright red blood was sprinkled in front of it.

Just seeing the remaining traces, one can imagine the fierce scene of the wild cat preying on the bird at that moment.

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

720 The light in the room next to the mountain on the first floor was turned on, and then several rooms on the third floor, fourth floor and sixth floor were turned on.

There is no one else in this building, only they live here. The order and distribution of the lighting in those rooms seems random without any rules, but in fact it is very particular, which will make all the human beings who see it feel like they should be like home.

Jing Jiu looked at the brightly lit rooms, and said slowly, "It's like...chess...um...stars."

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

As soon as the steamer was turned on, the mist came naturally, and before the scent of the pastries came out, the kitchen window leading to the balcony was covered with a thick layer of frost, covering the outside picture.

Huaxi vaguely sensed something outside, thought it was a cat chasing a bird again, stretched out his hand to wipe off the mist on the window, and saw the man in the windbreaker he met on the subway standing on the flower bed.

She thought what a coincidence, it turned out that he also lived in this community, she smirked twice, and nodded to the other party.
