canary in cage

Cecil nodded in satisfaction, opened his mouth and said, "The gem was given by someone else."

After hearing this sentence, Luoman's eyes widened even more, and he stammered a little: "Send...?"

Cecil looked bewildered and hummed.

Loman swallowed a mouthful of saliva and explained, "Brother, do you know how expensive this gem is?"

"I know." Cecil replied softly, without any fluctuations in tone.

"You know that you still..." Loman opened his mouth halfway, but his voice was so hard to speak.

After all, it was Cecil who helped him.

Looking at the hard-faced Loman, Cecil seemed to have thought of something, and smiled, "You don't need to pay it back."

In an instant, Luoman raised his head and looked at Cecil as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, his voice was excited: "Really?"

Cecil was startled by Luoman's sudden reaction, curled the corners of his lips, and nodded stiffly.

-

The two of them didn't sit for a few minutes before Loman got up, looked at Cecil with firm eyes, opened his mouth as if he had considered for a long time, and said, "Brother, we will change seats later."

Cecil raised his head and looked at Loman, and saw Loman then opened his mouth to explain: "Just now everyone outside saw the ruby ​​in my brother's hand, and I'm afraid someone will have bad intentions."

What Loman said made sense, Cecil thought for a while, and opened his mouth: "When?"

Loman turned his head and glanced outside, then turned around and said, "Wait until they go to eat."

As he spoke, Loman moved the box behind him a little, stuffed the bread and milk he had stored under his clothes, and opened his mouth to Cecil with a smile.

"It's almost time, I'll get ready first."

-

In the afternoon, the dining bell finally rang on the boat. The young people swarmed towards the dining room, and the old people followed tremblingly. live.

Hearing that the movement outside became quieter, Luoman pulled Cehir to stand up again, and the area for activities outside became much larger in an instant.

Loman pulled Cecil twisting and turning, and finally came to the outside deck.

As night approached, it was still terribly cold outside, but Loman pulled Cecil straight to the back of the cabin as if he couldn't feel the cold.

Cecil was trembling from the cold wind, and when his hands and feet were almost frozen and unconscious, he finally arrived at the place Luoman said.

The cabin here is similar in appearance to the previous one, only after entering through the door did Cehir feel that he was alive again.

The structure inside is almost the same as the previous one. There are not many people here, but almost most of them look helpless, because this cabin is too far from the restaurant. When they run out, the food there is almost Got snapped up.

The place they chose was still the same place. The windows in this position in the back cabin are better sealed than those in the front, and if they are enclosed with boxes, the place will be much warmer.

The wind was blowing outside, blowing through the cracked windows like a howl from hell, and the cabin was so quiet, even on Christmas Eve tonight.

Unconsciously, Cehir felt a little sour in his nose, and he even wanted to go back.

Loman took the bread out of his clothes, picked out a piece of bread as quickly as possible and handed it to Cecil.

"Brother, Merry Christmas Eve."

Cecil looked at the person in front of him who seemed to be one size smaller than himself, and the corners of his lips slightly lifted, and he took the bread in Loman's hand.

"How long have you been alone?" Cecil asked with his mouth open.

Loman gnawed on the bread, thought for a while and opened his mouth: "It's been a long time, I don't remember clearly, but now I'm not alone, I have a brother."

Luoman grinned at the corner of his lips, and smiled at Cecil, as if he didn't care about anything, but after all, he couldn't hide it from Cecil, the corners of his eyes were still a little watery.

I don't know how to pretend to look a little bit.

Cecil tilted his head, leaned against the corner, looked at the bread in his hand for a while, and finally ate it.

How long has he been alone, and he can't remember clearly. Although Yisi is by his side, it still seems to be too far away. From the beginning to the end, to be more serious, he only knows Yisi's name.

Cecil buried his head in the scarf again, and the scent on it was gone, but he still remembered that night very clearly.

That night, the fire in the fireplace was very warm, and he didn't fall asleep, and even Sehir could feel Isri's movement of his hair.

The sound was like a beautiful note on the piano, beating the vulnerable heart one after another.

"Joyeyxnoel, Moncheri."

Merry Christmas, dear.

Cecil could understand that it was a sentence in French. He had attended parties outside with his father since he was a child, and he would be able to speak a few words after hearing a lot.

Hearing these words, Cecil almost went crazy. The term "Moncheri" is described by lovers, but how could Isri say it to himself.

He thought he had heard it wrong, but in the sound of crackling firewood, these two words seemed to be amplified suddenly, filling his brain, as if he was telling himself.

You heard right.

Cecil exhaled, opened his eyes and looked at the front. The light in the cabin was not turned on, and the person in front had already lit it, and it was reflected in the back flickering.

In the end, the cloud could not withstand the crystallization of the raindrops, and large flakes of snowflakes fell from the sky, fell into the sea, and turned into a puddle of water.

The time was a bit late, and the people in front seemed to be making some moves, but after a while, someone came to the two newcomers, opened their mouths with a smile and said, "Merry Christmas, friend, do you want to have dinner together?"

The bearded man smiled and looked at the two of them. He looked naive. Luoman raised his eyes and glanced at the man, then at the distance, and opened his mouth eagerly.

"is it okay?"

The man laughed loudly a few times, looked into the distance, and amplified his voice a little more: "Is it okay to ask?"

A pusher in the distance held a large wooden barrel wine glass in his hand, the helplessness just now was gone on his face, and all of them were smiling: "Come on, or we won't be able to catch up!"

The man turned his head and looked at Loman: "You heard me."

Loman blinked, looked back at Cecil with a smile: "Let's go, brother."

-

At the same time, on the other side, as Loman said, at night, another group of people besieged the city to discuss. It seemed that after a few words, a group of people started to act.

Walking to the seat, he kicked the box open without saying a word, but there was no one inside.

"Damn it! Find it for me!" a person shouted angrily
