The Young Emperor and the Fearless

He Li loved birds, and everyone in the court knew it. Countless local officials who went to the pilgrimage to meet him liked him, and gave him all kinds of birds, most of which were mild birds.

Thrushes, parrots, starlings, larks...

The most recently raised one is the yellow bunting, which is the one that Su Yu neglected to run away.

The yellow bunting was sent by Yuan Zhimi. It was as big as a palm, with a light yellow fluff on its belly and a crisp cry.He Li liked it very much as soon as he saw it. Later Yuan Zhimi told him that the bird was originally left by a guest of Hualou, and he thought it was very similar to He Li. , the two eyes are round and the expression is almost exactly the same, so he wants this bird.

Although He Li was dissatisfied with Yuan Zhimi taking other people's birds casually in the flower building, he couldn't help the yellow bunting's cuteness and cuteness, so he didn't care about it.

Unfortunately, the yellow bunting eventually ran away.

In the imperial garden of the imperial palace, there was a piece of grass, and there were hundreds of bulges in it, all of which were dead birds.Death from starvation, death from illness... There are all kinds of weird ways to die, and some of them only lasted for a day.

Of course, the bulge doesn't include the lost bird.

In the pitch-black night, Ju Xie was dressed in black, almost blending into the night.

He Li sighed, seemed to be talking to himself, and whispered: "The first bird I raised was a starling, with a tuft of fine hair on its beak, like a black flower. It looks like it. I even named it Mo Bao."

As if thinking of Mo Bao's cute appearance, He Li chuckled lightly, but the smile quickly stopped, and said dejectedly: "Mo Bao died of illness, and when he died, all the hair on his body fell out..."

The death was so tragic, and He Li suspected at first that someone had deliberately pulled out Mo Bao’s feathers. It took a month to find the suspect, but unfortunately, there was an uproar in the palace. Every day, it remains the same, does not drink water, and sits sickly in a corner of the cage, and it does not respond to teasing.

In the end, Heli had no choice but to treat it as sick and die.

He Li said: "After that starling died, I didn't start raising birds until the second year. The second bird was also a starling. It was less than a month old when it was sent to me, and it was as big as a palm. I haven't had time to name it yet. , and it died again."

The third is just a lively parrot, which has been raised and can already talk.As soon as He Li approached the cage, the parrot said Long live auspicious, but He Li was very happy.

Whether the parrot died or ran away, He Li couldn't remember.

Later, He Li knew that the bird would not last long, so he stopped naming it.He doesn't let people buy it, and if someone else gives it to him, he doesn't refuse it, and adopts it.

As if touching the sad things in memory, Heli fell silent while talking, and sighed deeply unconsciously.

Ju Xie had been listening to him quietly, seeing this, she comforted her, "You don't have to be too sad, the lifespan of birds and beasts is very short, even if they don't die of illness, they will die one day."

He Li said: "Birds are such a cute little life, it is a day if I can raise them one more day. I think I take good care of the birds, but for some reason, I just can't stay with them for a long time. I have never raised the same bird. a year."

Ju Xie sincerely suggested: "Maybe your way of raising birds is wrong. Birds should not be kept in cages. You can try raising them in an open nest."

He Li's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is your Moon River raised in the same way?"

Ju Xie looked up at the sky, her dark eyes were fixed somewhere in the darkness, and said slowly: "No, I picked up the Moon River by accident by the river, when its wings were injured and its body was soaked, Dying. I saved its life, and it followed me, and I couldn't drive it away, so I just let it go."

He Li was full of disappointment: "Then your method won't work. If I don't put the bird in a cage, it will fly away without a trace."

As if he suddenly thought of something, He Li cheered up, and reached out to grab Ju Xie's sleeve, but the direction was right, but his hand was empty.

He Li was stunned, maintaining the posture of catching someone, but Ju Xie's voice sounded from the other side: "What's the matter?"

He Liqi said: "You were not on my left side just now, why did you suddenly go to the right side?"

Ju Xie chuckled lightly: "Are you sure I was on your left just now?"

He Li withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and admitted: "It's too dark to see clearly. But your voice is indeed coming from the left."

Ju Xie approached He Li, put one arm around his neck, stretched out his hand on the other side and snapped his fingers, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is that so?"

In the empty street, the slightest noises are extremely clear.At this moment, the sound of snapping fingers was like an arrow piercing through the air, reaching directly to the bottom of the ear, making people somewhat confused about the source.He Li tilted his head and had to correct his words: "Maybe I heard wrong before."

This is an irrelevant question, and He Li didn't delve into it.He continued what he had just said and asked, "Will you treat birds?"

Ju Xie stopped and said lightly, "Yes."

He Li's eyes lit up at once, if there was such a person in the palace, then he would raise birds in the future, and if he got sick, someone would treat him.However, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term, and it cannot be said abruptly that people will enter the palace as soon as they enter the palace.

**

He was too busy talking along the way, but He Li didn't even notice that he had arrived at the place.

The owner of the 'Fuyuan Store' and the waiter were killed one after another. At this moment, the store was empty, and it was dark inside, revealing a strange state.And the shop waiter died upstairs, looking extremely miserable.Heli raised his head and looked over, as if seeing that look again, he paused as he was about to cross the threshold.

Ju Xie passed by He Li, bringing a gust of breeze, he took the oil lamp in He Li's hand, and stepped in first.

He Li shook his head and hurriedly followed.

Ju Xie's footsteps were very soft, almost inaudible when stepping on the wooden ladder.And the sound of He Li's footsteps, heavy one after another, echoed in the cold inn.

"you……"

Heli was still scared in his heart, and reached out his hand to grab Juxie, but before he could touch it, he let it hang down.Rubbing his palms, he asked weakly, "Where's your Moon River? Can you take a look at it?"

In fact, Heli's original intention was to want the crow to embolden him, but it was too embarrassing to think about it, so he dared not say it clearly.

Ju Xie didn't think deeply, and said, "On the roof, follow us all the time."

He Li was surprised: "Follow all the way? Why didn't I notice it? I thought it was asleep."

Ju Xie said: "If you don't believe me, you can try calling it."

Heli couldn't wait for it, so he called out: "Yuehe!"

For a moment or two, there was silence all around.

Heli turned to look at Juxie.In desperation, Juxie said: "Yuehe."

'quack……'

On the roof, the crow immediately responded.

He Li: "..."

Although he lamented in his heart, he really didn't like birds, but after hearing the call, he felt relieved a lot.

The door of the room where Xiao Er was killed was closed tightly, and when Ju Xie pushed it, there was a creaking sound, as if the old wooden door was dragging a few kilograms of stone, which was extremely heavy.

He Li asked, "How do you know it's this room?"

Ju Xie said: "The smell of blood."

He Li sniffed, puzzled, "Why can't I smell it?"

Before Juxie could answer, Heli suddenly thought that the waiter was killed yesterday and the blood flowed all over the place, but they didn't smell the blood when they got to the door.

Could it be that the scent was too strong, covering up the smell of blood?

Maybe this is possible.

But now, without Mixiang, he still didn't smell the bloody smell left in the house, why?

As if seeing his doubts, Ju Xie said: "It's no wonder you can't smell it, this room has been cleaned up, and the blood has basically been cleaned up."

He Li thought to himself, maybe Su Yu asked people to do it.But is it too hasty?

Ke Heli said, "What about you?"

Ju Xie said, "Me?"

Ju Xie seemed to be smiling, but under the dim oil lamp, the face covered by the long hair was not real.After a while, he said: "No one has asked me this question for a long time."

For some reason, Heli could hear the sentimentality in his tone, but after savoring it carefully, he felt it was a kind of aloof conceit.After realizing it later, he realized that this person was just acquainted today, and he actually knew nothing about him.

This person's hair hangs down, and I don't know if he is covering his cheeks on purpose. He can see the cause of the shopkeeper's death at a glance, and he can smell the bloody smell that ordinary people can't smell. He is a mysterious man with many mysteries...

He Li's heart trembled slightly, and he took a step back involuntarily.Without paying attention behind him, he bumped into the door frame with a bang.

Ju Xie looked over, opened her mouth as if to ask a question, He Li hurriedly interrupted: "Call Yue He again."

Ju Xie didn't know why, so she called out anyway.

The crow responded quickly, and even flapped its wings and flew outside the closed window lattice, quacking, wanting to come in.

Heli ran over to open the window, saw Yuehe rushing over, thought it was going to be intimate with him, and looked forward to it with joy, but unexpectedly, Yuehe bypassed him from above his head and landed on Juxie's shoulder.

He Li was a little stiff, but seeing this very spiritual crow, even if he didn't get intimate with him, the uneasiness in his heart was swept away, and he didn't even feel that the stranger in front of him was scary anymore.
