quail

Li Bai was dragged out of the holly bushes by Yang Jian's wrist, and sat down on the curb.He let out a "hey", his butt was hurting, and he saw Yang Jian put his backpack on the ground and sat cross-legged beside him.

"I don't know what kind of wind I have." Li Bai lowered his eyelashes, looking at Yang Jian's hand propped on a piece of withered grass.

Yang Jian said "En", and didn't ask any more questions, and didn't turn his face away. He silently looked at the group after group of students passing by on the path ahead, and that kind of wandering look was quite pleasant.The number of people gradually decreased, and those who knew him raised their chins, "Well!"

"My younger brother." Yang Jian answered irrelevantly, patted Li Bai on the back, and laughed at the boy.

"Hello," the boy nodded to Li Bai, and said again, "Hurry up, the dormitory will be cleared tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he tightened his scarf, and said in an angry voice, "I'm leaving first!"

Yang Jian waved at him unhurriedly as usual.

"Our squad leader." He explained.

"Are you taking the last test today?" Li Bai asked.

"Yes."

"How did you find me?" Li Bai asked again, cautiously glanced at Yang Jian's profile from the corner of his eye.

"Hu Qian told me."

He answered quite frankly, but Li Bai's eyes almost went dark.How was his behavior described just now... No matter how he described it, it was already weird enough without any embellishment.So what?He wished he could shrink himself into a clod of soil under the tree, how could Yang Jian notice him.To a certain extent, he still had to thank the girl for not letting him come this way in vain, and then get out in a desperate way when there is no one else, and return to his leaky house in a desperate way.

And now, Yang Jian is sitting here, blowing the cold wind, just like him, being watched sideways by passers-by like an exhibit——

Li Bai felt that he had to say something.

"Well, I didn't find a job. Everyone said that I was too young. A few days ago, the rental roof collapsed, and the snow soaked my things. I couldn't find a maintenance team. I don't know what to do these two days." After speaking, Li Bai paused, realizing that he was complaining.He didn't want to do this, but why did he come to Yang Jian?Just an unreasonable thought while walking and crying.

"It's nothing," he said again, "I like to dig into messy places when I have nothing to do, like an ostrich, it's just this problem, and your classmates saw it, right—"

"You feel ashamed?" Yang Jian interrupted him, and finally turned his face to look at him.

Li Bai moved away subconsciously, "What?"

"Is it embarrassing to squat on the side of the road like this and let people walk in front of your face and look at you curiously?"

"Well," Li Bai said honestly, "I'm ashamed."

"Are you dead?"

"It's embarrassing for you!"

"Oh, then I'm dead." Yang Jian said seriously.

Li Bai couldn't keep up with him, and he jumped up in a panic. He stood in front of Yang Jian, clutching his cuffs, lowered his head to look into Yang Jian's eyes, and said loudly, "It's almost Chinese New Year, don't talk nonsense. ,Let's go!"

"I can't stand up, please give me a hand." Yang Jian stretched out his left hand, weighed his wrist, and had already begun to implement his setting as a dead person. Holding him on his big arm, trying desperately to pull him up from the ground, he smiled, as if it was such a fun thing to make people feel at a loss.Picking up his schoolbag, he walked next to Li Bai, leaning his weight on the back of Li Bai's shoulders.

"Don't push me, I won't grow taller." Li Bai quickened his pace.

"Shouldn't you carry me?" Yang Jianti slipped his collar and pulled the fleeing man back, "I'm dead."

Li Bai didn't resist any more, he really supported his knees and squatted down, staring back at him: "...Come up, but you have to admit that you are alive and kicking."

But Yang Jian just hung the schoolbag on his shoulder. Based on the weight, Li Bai guessed that there was at most one book in it.

"That's it." Yang Jian stopped stumbling around, put his pockets on and led him around an intersection, and turned onto a trail, "So what if you do something weird, you won't lose your money and you won't lose your life, no one else will." Don't you dare to do it before? I didn't expect you to be so thin-skinned."

Li Bai thought for a while, but was at a loss for words to refute.But he actually felt much better. Yang Jian was right, Yang Jian didn't take it seriously at all, and he had nothing to be afraid of.Rethinking all the things just now, he no longer feels out of breath after just thinking about it at the beginning.

After walking around the huge campus for more than ten minutes, the two came to a gray six-story board building, which was Yang Jian's dormitory.He took Li Bai up, the bedroom was on the third floor, the one closest to the stairs, the door was open, two roommates were packing their luggage inside, and several boxes were spread out on the floor, occupying the aisle.Li Bai stepped over them carefully, as if stepping on a pile of plum blossoms, and stood in front of the lower bunk closest to the balcony.

"Your bed?" He looked at the quilt with rich layers.

"Yes." Yang Jian pulled out a huge black suitcase from under the bed, and creaked it open.The composition of his luggage is very simple, half of the space is occupied by clothes, and a few piles of books on the desk fill up the other half.Afterwards, Yang Jian looked at the distorted mass of white flowers on the bed and began to worry.

Li Bai asked, "Do you want to take it away?"

Seeing that his nose was about to run out, Yang Jian handed him a toilet paper, "I don't want to run twice."

Li Bai only used one section to wipe his nose. He put the used paper back into his pocket, picked up the quilt and shook it out, "It can be stuffed in." He said, folded the quilt twice, and tidied it patiently Picking up the messy things in the box, when he flattened the last stack of manuscript papers with complex force analysis on a pair of folded jeans, the level of the things piled up in the box was already several inches lower, even if he put down the thick cotton I was able to zip it up, too.

"How is it?" He leaned on his back and blinked at Yang Jian, triumphantly.

Yang Jian applauded him a few times, and then ran to the balcony to fiddle with something. Just as Li Bai was about to follow, he heard someone calling from behind. It was Yang Jian's roommate on the opposite bed, and he actually called him "classmate." ", saying that he couldn't pack it anymore, and asked him if he could clean it up for himself.

"Okay, let me try." Li Bai looked at the mess, and then at the foggy window behind him. It was already dark, and Yang Jian's shadow couldn't come in. "Ten yuan a time."

The straight-inch man wearing glasses was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and waved his hands at Li Bai in an angry and funny manner, but Li Bai just looked at him in confusion, squatted down on the spot, and wiped the dust on Yang Jian's box with his sleeve , I tried to move it again, but I could only push and pull it, but it couldn't be lifted.At this moment, there was movement in front of him. It was Yang Jian who came back from the balcony, carrying a birdcage about the size of a suitcase in his hand.

Inside the cage was an owl with gray and black feathers, yellow eyes like copper coins, and sharp talons tightly wrapped around the bars. It was rather petite, with a head no bigger than a human fist.

"I picked it up last month and fell on the outer unit of the air conditioner," Yang Jian said, "The wing injury is still not healed."

"It's so beautiful." Li Bai was fascinated by it. He had only seen this kind of animal in popular science pictorials before, and he always thought it was cold and cunning. He didn't expect the real thing to be so round, with a face like a kitten.

"Take it." Yang Jian smiled slightly, and handed the cage to Li Bai, carrying the stone-like box in his left hand, and walked through the ecstasy formed by the sundries on the ground.According to what he said, the house he rented was not far from the school. The two of them went out through the southwest gate, walked around Changchun Garden, and walked for about 10 minutes to an old-fashioned family area outside the wall.

The owl fluttered non-stop, and the cage was shaken by the wind. Li Bai simply held the bottom of the cage and held it in his arms. He couldn't see the way forward. Yang Jian blocked him, so he didn't trip over the entrance steps. fall.

They bought something to eat in the small supermarket next to the parking shed.Li Bai squeezed between the tightly packed shelves, picked out a frozen three-yellow chicken, a pack of dried shiitake mushrooms, the last two potatoes and a green pepper, last time he had a meal in the Peking University canteen, this time he planned Please come back, Yang Jian took a bottle of Yanjing Chunsheng and a bottle of Pepsi.

The bill came to 32 yuan and [-] cents. Li Bai was taking out a coin in his wallet, but Yang Jian suddenly took out one of the three ten yuan cards he had put on the counter, and replaced it with his own.

"Ah?" Li Bai handed nine coins to the boss.

"Ten yuan a time." Yang Jian left with the meat and vegetables.

The Yang family lives on the top floor, and they have to climb nine floors, and they have to carry a lot of things twice.There are no Spring Festival couplets pasted on the door, and no blessing characters. The house is a simple two-bedroom, one-living room. In the park, when the sun shines, it should look like a river with quicksand.

Standing on the river, Yang Jian, sweating on his forehead, turned his head and said to Li Bai, welcome.

Li Bai thought that Yang Yuqiu would be at home, so he said "Hello, sister", but he didn't meet him.There is no pair of slippers at the door, it is not like it is often lived in, and the things in the house are placed upside down to give a sense of life, in other words, it is very messy.Li Bai began to think about whether he could stay here for a few days in exchange for tidying up all these things neatly.When Yang Jian settled the owl and went to his bedroom to pack things, he couldn't keep staring at them, so he wandered around the room. There was a dining table in the living room, which looked crowded by the TV. The door was ajar, and Li Bai deduced that it should be the original location of the restaurant.

He also smelled a strange smell, as if something was burning, and it came out from the crack in the door.Boldly, he pushed the door open, but froze at the door, unable to take a step in. He saw that the room was extremely dark, with the floor-to-ceiling curtains drawn, and no lights on the top, only two bright red candles were lit. joss stick.Behind the incense sticks is a shrine, offering fruits and white wine, and there are also kneeling mats placed on the floor, but the shrine is so dark that the gods can't be seen clearly.

There were still some paintings on the wall, and the candles were shining brightly and dimly. Li Bai felt nervous, and could vaguely discern that those paintings were also gods and monsters. Apart from that, there was nothing else in the room.

"My sister did it." Yang Jian suddenly appeared behind him, pulled Li Bai back, and closed the door again, "Don't worry about it."

"Is it Guanyin? The God of Wealth?" Li Bai felt evil.

But Yang Jian didn't answer, sank into the sofa, turned on the TV and began to change channels non-stop.Li Bai didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he got into the kitchen and went to work.However, this can only be regarded as a small episode, or very naturally, they got together for dinner.Li Bai used a pressure cooker for the first time. He soaked shiitake mushrooms and stewed chicken. Later, Yang Jian taught him to use chopsticks to pry up the pressure limiting valve to release the air. When he opened the lid of the pot, he saw the yellow soup that would be stewed in less than half an hour. Buying a pressure cooker is on the wish list to start when you get a job.

Also fried shredded green peppers and potatoes, and fried poached eggs.While serving the rice, Yang Jian suddenly appeared, cleaned the pot in the pool and put it on the stove, saying that he wanted to show off.

Li Bai expressed that he wanted to watch, but was kicked out by Yang Jian, and he couldn't help but want to steal it while staying at the dining table. In the end, he dug a mouthful of rice and swallowed it, and sat back on the sofa where Yang Jian had just been. , Watched the macroeconomic policy broadcast by CCTV [-] for a while.

Basically do not understand.Why would Yang Jian, who studies physics, watch this?Can you understand again?Li Bai was thinking wildly, his eyelids were a little heavy, and he was really going to sleep as he heard all kinds of things floating in his ears.

Holding a white porcelain basin, Yang Jian suddenly appeared again, chasing away Li Bai's drowsiness.He smelled a strong spicy smell in his nostrils, Li Bai rushed over to take a look, but saw a pot of brown liquid, still bubbling.

Ginger Coke.

"You have a cold, your throat is so hoarse as if someone stabbed you." Yang Jian found another box of capsules from the TV cabinet, "Take this medicine back and drink it before going to bed. It will almost be fine tomorrow."

Bring back?Does that mean I can't stay overnight?Li Bai was a little sluggish.

But it was discovered that I was sick, he thought again, and his heart suddenly became happy again.

"Actually, I have a fever." He bent down to smell the soup, then raised his head to look at Yang Jian with a pitiful expression.

"Really?" Yang Jian touched his forehead, "Then do you have no appetite, so you can just drink some porridge?"

Li Bai immediately stood up straight: "I have! I can't get enough of porridge!"

Yang Jian just laughed: "There are also antipyretics. Let's eat first."

Li Bai was relieved.In order to show that he is not ignorant of good and bad, he cooperated with him and drank half of the Coke first. It was so hot that it was hot from his throat to his stomach. Then he put down the porcelain basin and wiped his mouth, and looked at Yang Cut.

Yang Jian didn't rush to sit down and move his chopsticks. He suddenly pressed his right shoulder, and touched Li Bai's eyelid with his left hand, "Don't move." Li Bai's breath escaped between the two of them, and after about five seconds, Yang Jian let him go, pinched the index finger and thumb of his left hand together, and dangled in front of his eyes.

"You've lost an eyelash and it's going in your eye," he said.

Li Bai stared blankly at him, his lips were still red from the burn, and his cheeks were also red.The spiciness and heat of ginger are still steaming in his body.

"Shall I return it to you?" Yang Jian took his right hand and spread it out, and put the curved eyelash on his sweaty palm.Li Bai lowered his eyes to take a look, it was so small, it was by no means his longest eyelashes, Yang Jian's eyes were really sharp.At this moment, the door lock rang, the door was opened, and the high-heeled shoes stepped on the green, red and white river twice.

"Is there a guest?" Yang Yuqiu threw the thin chain satchel on the sofa, and walked up to the two of them with a smile.
