With a creak, the iron door to the room on the right-hand side of the first floor of 720 opened.Then there was another squeak, and the door to Unit 720 opened.Jing Jiu stepped into the snowflakes and habitually lifted the hat of the blue hoodie and covered his head.Huaxi closed the door of the unit with some difficulty, tightened the black backpack behind him, and walked outside the community with Xue Ji in his arms.Xue Ji is indeed very small, and her appearance and appearance really resemble a cute doll, but being held in the arms of a little girl like Huaxi is still a little big, and it is easy to attract attention.It stands to reason that she should stay at home, but just like Jing Jiu subconsciously didn't dare to leave her, she didn't dare to leave Jing Jiu for too long.The snow is so big, the wind is so cold, it is very appropriate to huddle together to keep warm, even if they are the two strongest guys in the Chaotian Continent.The snow was white, like felt, and the footprints left by the lady named Eve last night had long been covered, except for a row of bamboo leaves on the ground in the flower bed, which must have passed by a bird not long ago.Leaving the living quarters, they took the subway to the city center.This planet is now strictly forbidden to take off and land any flying machines, and it is in a de facto lockdown state, but it actually does not have much impact on the people living here, just like the conversation of those teenagers on the basketball court yesterday, even if there is no blockade, how many people can afford to buy a ticket to leave the planet?
After the destruction of the pirate family that had been entrenched here for many years by the military's warships, the government's power was given more opportunities to show itself.For the people, it is even better than before in some aspects, such as various benefits, such as those tutorial classes in the event center, such as law and order.There weren't many people on the subway, sitting at a suitable social distance not far away, and occasionally someone cast a curious look at the doll held by Huaxi, but no one asked.When they arrived at Xigu Station, according to the traffic instructions on the leaflet, Jing Jiu and Huaxi got off the subway, and looked at the traffic instructions for a long time in a daze before finding Exit 16.2.Fortunately, the building of the city activity center is very large, like a mountain in the middle of the square, and you can see it when you step out of the subway, so you won't get lost again.Before coming to the activity center, Jing Jiu stretched out his left hand a little awkwardly, leaned the bracelet against the scanning machine, Huaxi opened his eyes wide, learned his movements and did the same, and passed through the scanning door with two soft sounds.The security guards saw that there was something wrong with their intelligence, so they didn't do anything to make it difficult and patiently asked them what they were going to do.Huaxi was questioned, became very nervous, and timidly hid behind Jing Jiu.Jing Jiu listened to what the other party said in a bit of a daze, and took out the propaganda page and put it in front of the security guard.The security guard looked at the officer's contact number left on the leaflet and made the call for them.It didn't take long for Ms.
Eve to hurry out of the elevator.Ms.
Eve was a little surprised when she saw Huaxi behind Jing Jiu, and immediately remembered that there were only two brothers and sisters in their family who depended on each other, so she understood why, introduced herself with a smile, walked towards the building with them, and asked Jing Jiu softly: "Do you want to learn the basic introductory course of instrumental music or the harmonica specialization course?"
”Jing Jiu thought for a long time, mumbled, and then was silent for a long time.The atmosphere in the elevator became a little weird, and at this moment, Huaxi's small voice like a mosquito came from behind him: "He wants to learn piano." ”Ms.
Eve was surprised again, and subconsciously looked at Jing Jiu's hand, and found that his fingers were slender and beautiful, looking like a pair of hands playing the piano, and couldn't help laughing, and asked Huaxi, "What about you?"
Do you want to learn something too?
”Huaxi still hid behind Jing Jiu, lowered his head against his 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 in her heart, and said in a harmonious voice: "After the registration is over, will I take you to the reading room?"
”Huaxi hummed softly.The elevator door opened, Ms.
Eve led the way in front, Jing Jiu followed her, and Huaxi held a doll that was a little and a half tall of herself, and quickened her pace to follow.No one noticed that the doll's bow hairpin fluttered slightly.The chilling cicada felt so tired.Huaxi didn't answer the question at all, those mosquito-like sounds were made by the mosquitoes.………… After taking Jing Jiu's name and sending it to the piano class, she took Huaxi to the reading room, asked her to remember her bracelet contact number, and not to run around at will, and Ms.
Eve returned to the office to continue to deal with her affairs.An hour and fifty-five minutes later, the bracelet vibrated slightly with an alarm clock, she rubbed her somewhat astringent eyes, stopped the halfway secondary registration work, walked outside the piano lesson classroom, looked into the classroom, and saw the teenager in the blue hoodie at a glance.During the lockdown period, all kinds of government assistance were very timely and generous, but it was impossible to put dozens of pianos in a city activity center, there were only five different styles of pianos in the classroom, and the students who participated in the course were virtual electronic light harpsichords in front of them, and the children's fingers kept playing in the air, not feeling sad, but a little cute.Ms.
Eve noticed that Jing Jiu's hands were on his knees, looking very well-behaved, but he never played the piano, and couldn't help but worry that he couldn't keep up with the lesson.At this time, the melodious electronic music sounds, which means that today's class is over.When the piano teacher saw Eve, he greeted her with a wry smile and whispered in her ear, "The student you introduced listened very carefully, but it seemed to be ......
It's a little sluggish, much more serious than you said. ”Eve's gaze crossed her shoulder, looked into the classroom, and found that Jing Jiu was still sitting honestly in her seat, and for some reason felt a little sad, and said to the teacher, "I can only trouble you to be more patient." ”Jing Jiu didn't get up and leave immediately after class, not because he was restrained or bold or sluggish, but he felt that this electronic music was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, which reminded him of the strange umbrellas he saw in the afterglow yesterday, and also reminded him of the golden leaves and some girls."
Ryan, class is over."
Eve shouted into the classroom.Jing Jiu stood up and turned around a little mechanically and walked towards the door, his movements appearing sluggish.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 his side, and said seriously: "I think you can learn these things in the introduction to scales, but if you don't understand anything, you should actively ask questions and go home......
Well......
Think more about what was in class today. ”The teacher originally wanted to tell him to go home and practice more, so as not to be as nervous as in class, but suddenly thought that he would definitely not have a piano at home, and he couldn't even afford an electronic light harpsichord, so he quickly changed the subject.Lady Eve naturally heard it, patted him on the shoulder gratefully, and took Jing Jiu to the reading room to pick up Huaxi.Huaxi is watching TV with her doll in her reading room, and her favorite cartoon is playing on the TV.There were a few children who were obviously much younger than her, looking at her from a short distance, a little scared and a little envious, not knowing what stories had happened here.Sending them downstairs, Lady Eve remembered something and told them to wait a while, and after a while, she came back panting and handed over a bag of pastries.There was nothing wrong with the government's food rationing, but this delicate pastry was more difficult to come by.Recently, the security of the city is really good, the police station is very strong, and the strong people like those who often appeared in the sky over the city in previous years have long been extinct.I don't know if he died in the military's crackdown, or if he escaped before the planet was closed.The people in the subway are still sitting at a short distance, the carriage is very quiet, only the low hum of the hovering track can be heard, and the light and shadow advertisements outside the window should be in the middle of the change, looking a little dark, of course, it is also used as a mirror, if you have this interest.A tall and thin man wearing a beige trench coat and a black mask on his face came up from Yanshan Station, walked to the opposite side of Jing Jiu and Huaxi and sat down.The few dozen or so passengers in the carriage subconsciously dispersed into the distance, like dots on a balloon that has been blown up, or stars in the Big Bang process.Jing Jiu looked down at the light that flashed quickly on the floor, imagining it as the black and white keys of the piano, playing silently in his heart, not noticing who was sitting opposite at all.Huaxi's eyes widened and she looked curiously at the man in the trench coat opposite, without any fear.Nor did any episodes occur.The two got off the subway, walked across the stadium in the snow, walked past the scarred old wall hit by skateboards, walked past the lake covered with wild reeds, walked past the garbage dump, and walked through a small gate to return to 720.It was already evening, the street lights were getting brighter, and the other buildings were gradually lit up with dim and warm lights.The snow in the flower bed was illuminated, and in addition to the bamboo leaf-like bird paw prints, there was also a line of cat footprints like plum blossoms, and some red blood stains were sprinkled in front of it.Just by seeing the remnants of this trace, you can imagine the fierce scene of the wild cat preying on the birds at that moment.Xue Ji looked at the snow, a hint of appreciation flashed in her dark 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 turned on, and then several more rooms on the third, fourth, and sixth floors were lit up one after another.There is no one else in this building, only they live here.The order and distribution of the lights in those rooms seems to be random and irregular, but in fact it is very exquisite, and it will make all the humans who see it feel like they should be like home.Jing Jiu looked at the lit rooms and said in a slow tone, "It seems to be ......
Chess......
Well......
Star. ”When you get home, the first thing you do, of course, is cooking.As soon as the steamer was turned on, the mist came naturally, and the smell of the pastries had not yet come out, and the kitchen window to the balcony was covered with a thick layer of frost, obscuring the picture outside.Huaxi vaguely sensed that there was something outside, thinking that it was a cat and a bird again, and reached out to wipe the fog from the window, and saw the man in a windbreaker who met on the subway standing on the flower bed.She thought to herself, it turned out that he also lived in this community, smirked twice, and nodded to the other party.()
