The Path Toward Heaven

With a squeak, the iron door of the room on the right hand side of the 720 first floor opened.

Then there was another squeak, and the unit door of 720 opened.

Jing Jiu walked into the snowflakes and habitually lifted the hat of the blue hoodie to cover his head.

Huaxi closed the door of the unit with some effort, tightened the black backpack behind him, and followed Xueji behind him and walked outside the community.

Xue Ji is indeed very small, and the appearance and appearance are really like a cute doll, but it is still a little big in the arms of a little girl like Huaxi, and it is easy to attract attention.

Logically, she should stay at home, but just as Jing Jiu did not dare to leave her, she did not dare to leave Jing Jiu for too long.

The snow is so heavy, the wind is so cold, and it's a good idea to hold a group to keep warm, even if they are the two strongest guys in the continent.

The snow was white and felt like blankets. The footprint left by the lady named Eve last night has long been covered. There is only a row of bamboo leaves on the ground in the flower bed. It should have been a bird not long ago.

Leaving the living area, they took the subway to the city center.

This planet is now strictly prohibited from landing or landing of any aircraft, and is in fact in a state of blockade, but in fact it does not have much impact on the people living here. Just like the conversation between the teenagers on the basketball court yesterday, even if there is no blockade, there are a few people. Can you afford a ticket to leave the planet?

After the family of pirates who had been entangled here for many years was destroyed by military warships, the government's power had more opportunities to be displayed.For the people, it is even better in some aspects than before, such as various benefits, such as the counseling classes in the activity center, such as law and order.

There are not many people on the subway, sitting at a suitable social distance not too close, and occasionally someone casts a curious look at the doll held by Huaxi, but no one asks.

Arriving at Xigu Station, following the traffic instructions on the publicity page, Jing Jiu and Huaxi got off the subway, and looked at the half-day traffic direction map for a while, only to find the 16.2 exit.Fortunately, the building of the city activity center is very large, like a mountain in the center of the square, you can see it when you walk out of the subway, and you won't get lost again.

Coming to the activity center, Jing Jiu stretched out his left hand a little awkwardly, leaning his hand ring against the scanning instrument, Huaxi opened his eyes wide, and learned to follow his movements, followed by a few beeps. Pass the scanning door.

The security guard saw that they had some problems with their intelligence, did not do anything difficult, and patiently asked them what to do.

Huaxi was questioned and became very nervous, hiding behind Jing Jiu timidly.Jing Jiu was somewhat dazed to listen to what the other party said, and took out the leaflet and placed it in front of the security guard.The security guard looked at the contact number of the officials left on the leaflet and made a call for them.It didn't take long for Ms. Eve to hurry out of the elevator.

Seeing Huaxi behind Jing Jiu, Ms. Eve had some surprises, and immediately remembered that there were only two siblings living together in her family, and she understood why. She introduced herself with a smile, took them to the building, and gently asked Jing Jiu: "Do you want to learn the basic introduction to instrumental music or the harmonica specialization?"

Jing Jiu thought for a long time, um, and then silenced for a long time.The atmosphere in the elevator became a little weird. At this moment, Huaxi's tiny mosquito-like sound came from behind him: "He wants to learn piano."

Ms. Eve was surprised again, and subconsciously looked at Jing Jiu ’s hand and found that his fingers were long and beautiful, and looked like a pair of piano hands. She could n’t help laughing, and asked Huaxi, “What about you? You also want to learn Anything? "

Huaxi still hid behind Jing Jiu, lowered his head against his back, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "No, I will find a place to sit and wait for my brother."

Eve listened to her voice and felt more loving in her heart, and said in harmony: "After that, I will take you to the reading room after registering."

Huaxi hummed softly.

The elevator door opened, Ms. Eve led the way in front, Jing Jiu followed her, Huaxi hugged her doll, which was one and a half tall, and accelerated her pace.

No one noticed that the doll's bow hairpin twitched slightly.

Cicada feels tired.

Huaxi didn't answer the question at all. It was the mosquito-like sounds that caused the mosquitoes to come out.

...

...

Take Jing Jiu to complete the registration, send it to the piano class, and take Huaxi to the reading room, let her remember her bracelet contact number, do not run around casually, Ms. Eve will return to the office to continue her affairs .

An hour and fifty-five minutes later, the bracelet gave a slight vibration of the alarm clock, and she rubbed her a little astringent eyes, stopped the half-entry into the work, stopped, and walked outside the classroom of the piano class, looking towards In the classroom, I saw the teenager wearing a blue hoodie at a glance.

During the blockade period, the government ’s various aids were very timely and generous, but it was also impossible to put dozens of pianos in a city ’s activity center. There were only five pianos of different styles in the classroom. The virtual electronic light keyboard, the children's fingers constantly bounce in the air, not feeling sad, but a little cute.

Ms. Eve noticed that Jing Jiu's hands were on her knees, and she looked very clever, but she still didn't play the piano. She couldn't help but worry that he couldn't keep up with the class.

At this time, the melodious sound of electronic music sounded, which means the end of today's class.The piano teacher saw Eve, greeted her with a wry smile, and whispered in her ear: "The student you introduced listens very seriously, but it seems ... a little dull, much more serious than you said."

Eve looked over her shoulder and looked into the classroom. She found Jing Jiu still sitting on the seat honestly. Somehow she felt sad, and she said to the teacher, "You can only be more patient."

Jing Jiu didn't get up and leave immediately after class. It wasn't that he was cautious or daring or dull, but he felt that this electronic music was a bit familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, which reminded him of the strange umbrellas he saw in Yuguang yesterday. It also reminded him of golden leaves and some girls.

"Ryan, class is over." Eve shouted into the classroom.

Jing Jiu stood up, turned mechanically and walked out of the door, his movements seemed very slow.

In order to cover up his emotional changes, the piano teacher put one hand on his forehead, covered his eyes, and calmed down when he came around. He said seriously: "I think you can learn these steps, but what do you have? If you understand, ask questions actively and go back to your home ... um ... think more about what is in class today. "

The teacher originally wanted to tell him to go home and practice more. Do n’t be as nervous as in class. Suddenly thinking that there must be no piano at home, he could n’t even afford to buy an electronic photo keyboard, so he quickly changed the subject.Ms. Eve naturally heard it, patted his shoulder gratefully, and took Jing Jiu to the reading room to pick up Huaxi.

Huaxi was holding her doll in the reading room and watching TV, and her favorite cartoon was on the TV.

There are a few children who are obviously much younger than her. They look at her not far away. They are scared and envious. I do n’t know what happened here.

Sending them downstairs, Ms. Eve remembered something and asked them to wait for a while. After a while, she ran back breathlessly and handed a bag of pastries.

There is no problem with the government ’s food distribution, but this exquisite pastry is more difficult to buy.

The public security in the city has been really good recently, and the police station ’s patrol is very strong, and those strong people who often appeared over the city in previous years have long disappeared.I don't know whether I died in the military's suffocation, or escaped before the planet closed.

The people in the subway are still sitting at a short distance, the car is very quiet, and only the low buzzing sound from the suspended track can be heard. The light and shadow advertisements outside the window should be during the replacement period. It looks dark. Of course It also happens to be used as a mirror, if you have this interest.

A tall, thin man came from Yanshan Station, wearing a beige windbreaker and a black mask on his face, and walked across Jing Jiu and Huaxi to sit down.

The dozen or so passengers in the carriage subconsciously dispersed far away, like dots on an inflated balloon, or stars during the Big Bang.

Jing Jiu looked down at the rapidly flashing light on the floor, imagining the black and white keys of the piano, playing silently in his heart, not even noticing who was sitting opposite.

Huaxi opened his eyes wide and looked at the windbreaker man opposite with curiosity, without any fear.

No episode happened.

The two got off the subway, walked across the stadium in the light snow, walked through the scarred old wall hit by the skateboard, walked over the lake covered with wild reeds, walked through the garbage dump, passed a small door and returned to 720 .

It was already evening, and the street lights gradually turned on, and the dim and warm lights gradually turned on in other buildings.

The snow surface in the flower bed was illuminated. In addition to the bamboo-like bird's paw prints, there was an additional line of cat-like footprints like plum blossoms, and there were some blood stains in front of it.

Just seeing the remaining traces, you can imagine the fierce picture of the wild cat at the moment when it preyed on flying birds.

Xue Ji looked at the snow, and there was a sense of appreciation in her dark black eyes, and she extended her little round hands and gave a silent snap.

720 The lights in the room on the ground floor on the first floor turned on, and then there were several rooms on the third and fourth floors on the sixth floor.

There is no one else in this building, only they live here.The order and distribution of the lights in those rooms seem to be random, without any rules. In fact, they are very particular and will make all humans see a sense of being like this and being at home.

Jing Jiu looked at the lighted rooms and said slowly: "It seems ... chess ... um ... stars."

Back home, the first thing is of course cooking.

As soon as the steamer opens, the mist comes naturally, the fragrance of the pastry has not yet spread out, and the kitchen is covered with a thick layer of frost through the balcony window, covering the outside picture.

Huaxi faintly felt what was outside, thinking that the cat was fluttering the bird again, reaching out to wipe off the fog on the window, and saw the man in the windbreaker encountered on the subway standing on the flower bed.

She thought it was a coincidence, it turned out that he also lived in this community, smirked twice, nodded to the other party.
