Higurashi

At dawn, this seemingly abandoned area briefly became lively.

Qin Yu walked through the waterlogged alleyway and bought the latest newspaper in a low house near the city center.The newspaper seller is an old man over half a century old. It is said that he went to the battlefield in his early years, and he did not make any achievements after working hard for several years. Instead, his eyes were disabled. Now he is receiving social subsidies for subsistence allowances, while doing some small business of reselling .

Shopping here is relatively safe, because the old man is blind, and the "eyes" don't supervise him so strictly.Qin Yu occasionally visits his shop to buy some inconvenient things.Sometimes he also doubts whether this old man really can't see, because this man is really powerful, and the times are chaotic, but he can always find what Qin Yu needs, like a treasure chest.

Qin Yu used a breakfast bought on the roadside to offset the cost of the newspaper, and planned to detour to the other side to buy some clothes for Bai Hanming.When he was leaving, the old man stopped him and gave him a box of pistol bullets for nothing.Qin Yu was puzzled, and the old man said in a rough voice: "It's not peaceful recently, and the library will be closed again. If you are caught, use this to commit suicide. Don't hurt me."

Qin Yu: "..."

Qin Yu seldom talked to the old man, and the old man rarely asked him why he bought things.This shopping channel comes from the guardian's introduction. Qin Yu has too few words, and he knows very little about the guardian who has been with him for 18 years, let alone a blind old man who may not see him once a month.

He took the bullet and said to the old man, "Thank you, I will. Can I have another map of the world?"

Qin Yu put everything into the bag behind his back, changed his mind temporarily, and went to the nearest library around the corner.Sure enough, the library has put up a sign saying "stop for renovation".

Qin Yu pretended to be passing by, and walked away quickly.Holding the shoulder strap of his backpack, he remembered what Berhamming had said to him.In the Sennar area, the tall buildings sandwiched in the mountains, the yellow winged insects, the yellow and thin slaves, "March on the High Hill", he had a strong premonition that something was about to change.

He wanted to grab something real before then.

Bai Hanming also got up very early, and when Qin Yu came back with breakfast, he had roughly judged the location of Qin Yu's house by observing the world outside the window.

This ghetto, located outside the walls of the city center, was one of the "exiles" cut off after the last war of the old calendar.The new calendar has only been open for 21 years, many things have been established, and many things have not had time to change.Old people who are too old have witnessed too many things and are not safe; people with disabilities are not suitable for giving birth to offspring and are useless; people who are too poor will affect social order and are dangerous... and so on, these things Needs to be banished before rat shit spoils the whole pot.

Society has to be divided into those who belong to the old calendar and those who belong to the new calendar.This can be understood as a necessary system. According to the education that Bai Hanming received from childhood, there are always sacrifices at the junction of time and time, and those who are engaged in politics should have enough courage——daring to undertake such sacrifices, in order to serve A brighter future for the wider people.

Bai Hanming saw someone leaning out half of his body in the opposite building, cursingly taking back the rain-soaked bed sheet.

He turned his head and searched in Qin Yu's room, and soon found a small washing machine.Thankfully, there is a "dry" button on the washing machine.It seems that they have a decent laundromat freedom, not needing to hang their clothes out ostentatiously.Bai Hanming didn't want his personal things to be so lacking in dignity.

He put the clothes he changed yesterday into the washing machine.Amidst the noise of the washing machine working, Qin Yu came back.

"Eat something first." Qin Yu put the backpack on the coffee table, and took out all the things Bai Hanming needed.A carton of milk, a bag of sliced ​​bread, two sets of clothes, a newspaper.

He found that the washing machine was working, just glanced at it, and didn't mean to say anything.Bai Hanming sat down beside him, unwrapped the plastic seal of the milk straw, plugged it in and pushed it towards Qin Yu, "How is it outside, no one suspects you, right?"

"No." Qin Yu said, "Don't you drink milk?"

"You drink." Bai Hanming looked at him sideways, with a playful smile in his eyes, "You look young, and you can grow a little taller."

"...I'm 21." Qin Yu argued.He doesn't think a 21-year-old Omega can continue to develop, no matter how much milk he drinks.

"21 years old, were you born in the first year of the new calendar?" Bai Hanming's attention was elsewhere, "Where is your hometown?"

"It's in the capital."

"Oh." Bai Hanming said, "Where are the parents?"

"..." Qin Yu was not prepared until now.It's not that he thinks that Bo Hanming is talking nonsense, he always thinks that it's right for Bo Hanming to ask more questions.After all, if you suddenly want to share a room and sleep in the same bed with a stranger who you have never met before, you should have a lot of questions to ask.

He paused, and said, "I don't have any parents. I was adopted by an orphanage before, and I came out when I became an adult—"

This is a sentence without a subject, so let's not doubt its authenticity.He ate the hardened slice of bread as soon as he caught cold, and opened the folded newspaper: "Have you read it?"

Qin Yu's thoughts were still stuck on the elegance that Bai Hanming could eat hard bread, so he shook his head, lowered his eyes to read the newspaper, and saw Bai Hanming's words on the cover page at a glance. photo.The text next to it is too small, far less eye-catching than the color-printed photos.The background of the photo was like a banquet hall. Bai Hanming was wearing a straight military uniform, half of his body was turned sideways, and his face was facing the direction of the camera.

This person is too dazzling, no matter how magnificent the wall behind him is, it cannot compare to him.Qin Yu moved closer and wanted to take a closer look, but Bai Hanming turned a page of the newspaper at this moment.

"They stripped away all my life, and even published my grades in the college." Bai Hanming was smiling, the smile was still perfect, but it made Qin Yu feel a little dangerous for no reason, "so my grades are like this Yeah, I don't even remember."

Qin Yu followed his gaze and found the disclosed student days of Bai Hanming.

[..."Children's experience determines a person's life"*, so we visited several schools that Berhaming attended, hoping to find out the opportunity for him to lose confidence in society and the country.We found that Bo Hanming's grades in elementary school and middle school were very good, and he could get full marks in all subjects.But after entering high school, as an Alpha with strong pheromones, his grades plummeted.His college entrance examination score was only 10 points higher than the admission score of the Union College, but he was able to enter the most popular major of national affairs and security. At present, we have obtained confirmation from the Ministry of Information that there is bribery behind this matter.In addition, he had several vicious incidents of attacking his peers in college sports competitions, and the victims even included Mr. Xi Ye, the current Deputy Secretary-General of the Northern League...]

Qin Yu only saw this, and felt that this article was completely nonsense.He reasonably doubts the author's education level, and can seriously point out that the incident of "assaulting companions" mentioned in the article is purely fabricated.

"Fake." Qin Yu said, "You didn't."

His expression looked very angry, completely different from his usual calm and calm appearance.He has a small piece of bread in his mouth, so his cheeks are slightly puffed up, like an unhappy little puffer fish.Bai Hanming couldn't help laughing out loud, he really wanted to tease him, so he asked, "How do you know I'm not? This is the first time we've met, right? Do you know me well?"

Qin Yu swallowed the bread and whispered, "As I said, I am your supporter."

"Thank you." Bai Hanming said, "but do you know who ordered to hunt me down last night?"

Qin Yu shook his head, he didn't know, he just received the news from the guardian that an arrest warrant for Bai Hanming was issued within the Northern Alliance, and the Congress had reached an agreement, no one came forward to help him.

That's why Qin Yu did it.He has been paying attention to Bai Hanming, but never gets close.He knew that he needed to keep a distance from Bo Hanming, otherwise things would get out of hand.The organization his guardian belongs to is very large. They customize Qin Yu, ask Qin Yu to learn this and that, and send Qin Yu to a place not far from Bai Hanming. A harmless bodyguard.

"——It's Xi Ye." Bai Hanming himself gave the answer, "I did bump into him once when I was playing, and he was hospitalized for two months with a broken bone."

"..." Qin Yu said blankly, "You didn't mean to..."

"That's not important." Bai Hanming said, "It's a fact that I didn't get good grades in high school. When I was in college, I often failed subjects. The worst thing I read was politics. If I had nothing to do, I would play ball with them. It would be too boring to sit and study. .”

Qin Yu thought that he knew, he had witnessed Bai Hanming's college days all the way.He has seen Bo Hanming and a group of Alphas playing on the playground, and he has also seen Bo Hanming sitting in the last row of the classroom for make-up exams because he failed a subject.He still remembered that year when Bai Hanming wore a white shirt and turned his pen to the test paper.

The Berhaming he knew was never a good student.

"What about you?" Bai Hanming asked, "Have you ever been to college?"

Qin Yu paused for two seconds, nodded, and said "I have read it." Bai Hanming smiled and said, "You seem to be very suitable for studying. What is your favorite course?"

"Chinese." Qin Yu whispered, "But Chinese will no longer be taught in high school."

"Chinese." Bai Hanming repeated, his eyes became a little deep, "Chinese is a danger, just like the violin, do you understand what I mean?"

"I...I understand." Qin Yu said, "But I like it very much. There are also oil paintings, and I also have a little bit. Occasionally, I will go to the gallery to help customers draw portraits."

Bai Hanming once again looked at Qin Yu with admiration.What should I say about this person.He literally summed up all the contradictions of this country.Born in the new era, but living in the exiled land of the old era, he looks like a weed, but he has learned the skills that flowers in the greenhouse are allowed to have.Chinese is the most dangerous course, because words represent understanding, and understanding represents empathy. Empathy is the basis of all communication, and communication is the easiest to produce new things.Music and art are the same, culture is too free, creation is too free, they will both produce new things that cannot be controlled.

"Can you draw one for me?" Bai Hanming suddenly became interested.He felt that he liked Qin Yu a little bit. It was a "like" of appreciation and a "like" of falling in love.He had a straightforward premonition that if Qin Yu really completed a portrait for him, he might fall in love with this beautiful young Beta completely.
