Just do what you say, for fear that there will be too many people to scare the snake. This time, only Jiang Li and Huashu will go.

When I came to the embankment, it was quite early, and the morning wind was blowing on my body, giving me a cool feeling.

However, under the willow trees next to the river embankment yesterday, there were already old people sitting around, and the sound of chess pieces falling, sounded especially crisp on this almost deserted river embankment road.

More than a dozen birdcages of different heights were covered with black cloth and hung on the trunks of willow trees beside the old people. After the breeze passed, the willow branches fluttered slightly, but the black cloth on the birdcages did not move at all.

Jiang Li took a look from a distance. The old men were still wearing the same thin and loose Tang suits as yesterday. When the hem was blown up by the wind, one could see a bare waist exposed under the hem of the old man.

The old man didn't have any warm clothes under his Tang suit.

Jiang Li tightened the collars of the necks that were blowing in the cold wind. The clothes of the old people looked fine when the sun was warm at noon yesterday, but now that the air is cold in the morning, it looks very wrong.

Living a long time, who doesn't know that it's cold to add a layer of clothes, freezing by the cold wind blowing river, and playing chess on a cold chessboard, unless you are looking for abuse, it is absolutely unreasonable.

Moreover, Jiang Li remembered clearly that the clothes of the old men were the same as yesterday, and they hadn't changed.

Jiang Li suddenly thought, wouldn't they keep guarding over a dozen pitch-black birdcages on the embankment, not leaving even when it was dark?

So the abnormality behind these two buildings refers to these birdcages?

Why do they guard these cages, and what is so special about them?Can't see the light under the black cloth?Are they birdkeepers?

The two dead people in the building specifically pointed out the night, so these birdcages that cannot see people during the day, will there be any changes at night?

Jiang Li and Hua Shu stood in the distance, watching the movements of these old men.

Then Jiang Li found that almost every once in a while, someone inside those old men would look up and look at those birdcages.It seems that even if you are having fun, you are always paying attention to the movement of the birdcage.

Just like a bodyguard guarding valuables, while entertaining himself, he does not forget to always pay attention to the safety of the items.

As Jiang Li looked at it, she became more and more suspicious.

What is in the cage?Jiang Li felt that it would definitely not be a bird.

These people who looked up at the birdcage had an uncertain time each time they looked up, so Jiang Li wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when they lowered their heads to look over, and it was almost difficult to avoid being noticed.

Huashu discussed with Jiang Li in a low voice, and Huashu stepped forward first.He first naturally stood behind the old men, pretending to be a passer-by, and when he found that the old men did not reject his approach, he watched the old men play chess for a while in a leisurely manner.

Then, after the elders finished their game, he interjected shyly. After a few words, he seemed to win the favor of the elders. Then an elder gave up his seat, Huashu sat down, and played against the opponent instead of the elder.

Huashu's chess skills have always been very good. Jiang Li stood watching from a distance. At first, the old people still looked up at the birdcage frequently, but gradually, the time interval between them looked up became longer and longer. Jiang Li knew that Huashu The chess moves were fierce, and the attention of the elders was quickly drawn into the chessboard by Huashu.

When Jiang Li noticed that the old people hadn't looked up for a while, he immediately pretended to be a passerby, and walked towards the direction of the old people from the other side of the main road, and naturally walked to a birdcage on the far side.He was facing the old people, walking non-stop, focusing on two purposes, while paying attention to the movements of the old people, he quickly raised his hand to lift the black cloth, and quickly glanced inside.

After a glance, Jiang Li put down the black cloth and continued walking forward.

Behind Jiang Li, the cage cloth that had been raised just now quietly opened a slit, and a line of sight shot out from the slit, and cast it on Jiang Li's back.

Jiang Li didn't look back.

The sight glanced at it, and it seemed that he didn't notice anything unusual, so he put the cage cloth down again.

From the beginning to the end, Jiang Li played the role of a passerby passing by.Before he got close to the elders, he heard Huashu say general.Jiang Li pursed her lips into a smile, and walked past the group of old people naturally.

After getting off the bridge, far away from the river embankment, and arriving at the agreed place, Jiang Li stood still, turned around, and waited for the flower tree.

Not long after, the flower tree came down from the bridge.

"How is it?" Hua Shu sat on the bench where Jiang Li was sitting and asked.

Jiang Li compared a ball the size of a shot put: "It's so big inside, a human head." Jiang Li said: "I only saw a side face with facial features, sparse hair on the back of the head, and a huge ear on one side, like a human head." Like a freak."

Jiang Li said: "When I saw it, it was closing its eyes, and I immediately put the cloth back on it. It probably didn't see me."

Huashu looked at the size Jiang Li compared: "The brain nucleus is so small?"

Jiang Li nodded: "The facial features are very immature, not like the heads of ordinary people."

"Baby head?"

"almost."

Jiang Li thought for a moment: "It's dangerous to come out of the building gate at night, and there are people waiting to kill people at the gate of the building, so why don't we wait at the position behind these two buildings from the beginning, and wait here until it gets dark, which also saves the trouble of getting out of the building?" The danger of killing. What do you think?"

Huashu caressed her palms: "Good idea."

After the two agreed, they went back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep.

Before it got dark, she was woken up by Meijie in advance, and then the two of them went out to the river embankment together.

Sitting down on the bench under the river embankment, looking at the river embankment from the seat, we can see that beside the willow trees above it, the old people still maintain their daytime postures, playing chess around the chessboard table endlessly.

The wind at night wrinkled the water on the surface of the river, and also stirred up the old people's single clothes.

The black cloth in the cage by the river made different calls one after another. The calls were rough and high-pitched. They ebbed and flowed and had strong penetrating power. Even if they were far away, they could hear the noise. numb.

I can't tell what kind of sound it is, but it is a rough feeling like rough stones and sandpaper, which makes the eardrum uncomfortable.

The sky gradually began to darken, and there was no one on the embankment.

As the sky completely darkened, several street lamps lit up on the surrounding roads one by one, and the embankment was no exception, only one would be lit every two, the street lamps were not very bright, and the light was yellow.

Jiang Li and Huashu sat in the darkness, looking at the river bank where they could vaguely see the whole picture.

The surrounding buildings occasionally turned on a few lights, and there was really no pedestrian on the road. Only at this time can I really feel that this is a game world, because now Jiang Li is sitting in the city, but the city feels like a dead city.

Even the old men who were sitting on the embankment under the street lamps were strangely unreal.

Under the dim yellow street lamp, they were still playing chess obsessively.

Jiang Li and Huashu sat quietly in the darkness, and the time passed by, and the old people over there did not change anything.After the things in the cage barked happily for an hour, they didn't stop until they were hoarse.

Jiang Li moved her numb buttocks, and the cool night wind blew on her face, feeling a refreshing chill.Jiang Li was dressed thickly when she came out this time, the fat man gave him the coat, and he put it on over the original clothes, so he didn't feel cold.It's just that my head is a little cold.

Jiang Li didn't care. After sitting like this for a while, Huashu suddenly leaned over. Jiang Li felt a pair of warm hands leaning up to cover her cold ears.

Jiang Li was shaken by the warmth, and couldn't help moving, Huashu's soft voice came from beside her ear: "Don't move, I'll warm you up."

Jiang Li blinked. Grandpa used to warm her ears in this way, and Huashu did it skillfully.

Jiang Li habitually rubbed her ears against Huashu's palm.

Huashu paused for a while, then calmly relaxed, rubbed the tips of Jiang Li's ears with the palm of his hand, and exhaled softly: "Do you feel warm?"

"Yeah." Jiang Li smiled and nodded.

Huashu also laughed, and waited for Jiang Li's ears to warm up, then took his hands away, then pulled up the hood behind Jiang Li, lifted it up, put it on Jiang Li, and tied it tightly with a drawstring.

Jiang Li whispered: "I forgot I have a hat!"

Huashu said: "I remember."

Jiang Li's two hands were in his pockets, Hua Shu touched them, and groped into Jiang Li's pockets along his wrists, his movements were so natural that Jiang Li didn't feel abrupt, Hua Shu was in Jiang Li's pockets He touched Jiang Li's hand.

Jiang Li's physique was cold, she was wearing thick clothes, and kept her hands in her pockets, but she didn't warm them up.

Huashu pulled out Jiang Li's hand, and together with her own, put it back into her warm pocket.

Jiang Li's parents passed away early, and she has been with her grandfather since she was a child. She has liked this kind of kindness and warmth since she was a child, and she feels very safe.At this moment, as soon as Huashu held his hand in his pocket, he couldn't help but laugh.Hua Shu has been humiliated since childhood, but it depends on who he is dealing with. He has always been very patient with Jiang Li, and has always taken care of Jiang Li in certain details. The grandson's intimacy has been done so many times that Jiang Li is still accustomed to Huashu's intimacy to this day.

Huashu grabbed his hand and put it in his pocket, and Jiang Li poked his hand into Huashu's pocket.Huashu's pocket was warm and comfortable.Jiang Li was a little greedy, and as soon as her hand passed, she took advantage of the situation and tilted her head on Huashu's shoulder.

Hua Shu glanced at him sideways, Jiang Li said, "My butt is numb." She made an excuse for herself to take advantage of others.

Hua Shu said: "Numb? Then I have a comfortable position, do you want to try it?"

Jiang Li was eager to try: "What?"

Huashu let go of Jiang Li, spread her legs, and sat down across the head of the bench. Then, she held Jiang Li's shoulders, letting him lean into her arms, and then instructed Jiang Li to lift her legs and put them on the bench. on the bench.

After Jiang Li finished this posture, she immediately felt much more comfortable.

Huashu grabbed his hands from both sides and put them into his pockets on both sides.

Jiang Li felt the warmth of her hands being wrapped by the palms of the flowers and trees, and her back was still leaning on her arms, feeling that she had taken advantage of her, so she finally felt a little embarrassed.

Wei Wei raised her head and asked Hua Shu: "Are you tired like this?"

Huashu turned her head to watch the movement on the other side of the embankment, and said to Jiang Li, "I'm not tired." Turning her head, she said to Jiang Li, "If you want to sleep, just sleep for a while, I'll watch."

I don't know if it was caused by the environment, Jiang Li suddenly felt a little emotional, recalling all the things since the game, he suddenly wanted to say something to Huashu, "Huashu," so he said: "Actually, I haven't said it, Huashu, you know Well, if I was alone, I would not be able to handle many scenes in this game. But with you here, I feel relieved and dare to try and challenge myself."
