I don't date non-humans

"Mu Zhuo, how well you listen to these birds!"

At this time, Chu Jinhe turned around from behind in a leisurely manner. He was wearing a bright yellow formal robe, and he looked like he had just come down from the morning.He also carried a golden cage in his hand, inside which was a pair of thin and small magpies, who croaked twice in a panic under the constant shaking of the cage.

The sound was really not pleasant.Ignoring the sycophants of the crowd following him, Chi Diao felt exhausted that he was dealing with a seven or eight-year-old child.

Just thinking about it, he knew how laborious it would be to catch these birds, but it was only to be used as a plaything in the palm of his hand. If he hadn't been a man, he might have been dubbed the demon concubine who harmed the country long ago.

"You caught these birds, how do you raise them?" He rubbed his temples.

These birds are not adapted to the climate in the north, and they are all delicate species. If they hang outside and freeze for a day and a half like today, they won't even be able to sing, even the birds' bodies will be cold.

"Why, don't you like it?" Chu Jinhe asked him a little puzzled.

"I think you liked it very much yesterday. Now I've caught so many for you. If you want to hear any birdsong, just hold the cage and shake it. Don't wait under the tree and wait for the bird to wait for it. Is it okay for the bird to chirp once in a while to come?"

Chi Diao stretched out his hand to block the wind for the two shivering orioles.

"But the bird landed on the tree. It sang when it wanted to, and it didn't if it didn't want to. It sang what it wanted to, and there were reasons why it didn't. It’s also comfortable. If you lock the bird in a cage and shake the cage to force it to sing, the sound will be different from left to right.”

"Besides, if it knows that it is going to be caught because of its nice cry, it will be put in a cage to listen to it, and it will never be free. Then maybe it would rather chew its own tongue, and that's not the case. a voice."

What he said had some meaning, but Chu Jinhe didn't know whether he didn't understand or what, he leaned in front of him and smiled and opened the cage door of the two orioles.

The two poor birds were free, not knowing that the outdoors was as bitter and cold as in the southern country, so they spread their wings and flew away without a trace, and then Chu Jinhe slowly opened his mouth, shaking his fan.

"See, this cage was never meant to keep them in. If you don't like it, I'll just let them out."

It is the beginning of winter, and the weather is cold, especially in the country facing the north.

The long blackness weighs heavily on the sky, lingering and lingering.Along with the dark sky, there is also a dark army.The army is hidden in the darkness in a long and thin line, stretching continuously on the mountain road. If you look closely, these people are not ugly people. Their skin is darker and their eye sockets are deeply sunken.

There was a light whistle from the leader, and the entire army that received the news stagnated like a black river blocked by a dam, and silently dispersed into battalions of three, three, five, five, and began to prepare for the day's breakfast.

The soldiers all wore black robes over their armor, which was unobtrusive.But there is one who is very different, a black robe is draped over the body, but a water-red robe is worn underneath, and a part of the arm that is accidentally exposed is also as delicate as Bai Xue. Obviously this is not a man, but a Daughter Lang.

"From the map, how far is it from here to the border of Ugly Country?" The woman leaned on the grand master's chair, her red lips slightly parted, and her voice was like a lily.

"Going back to Your Highness, it's only five miles away." The person who was talking to her lowered his head slightly, unwilling to look up at her, and under the unbuttoned hood was a young face.It was the boy Su Shu who was rescued and let go from the palace by Chi Diao before.

Sushu's luck was even worse. He escaped from the Chou Country, and finally returned to his own country, but he was caught on the charge of collaborating with the enemy country, and he was forced to accompany this unconscious man. The master of the heart has come to the ugly country again.

"Is there any movement from the border guards of Ugly Country?"

"No."

The woman bent her eyes, pursed her thin lips lightly, and the freshly applied rouge was as red as blood.

"Very well, pass on my order. Let's rest for now. Wait until night to continue marching. Although I don't know what the imperial city is like, who dared to hide the news of the emperor's death. But this is more important. Well, they'd better keep it a secret, the tighter the better. When we surround the imperial city, I'd like to see how they will fight us without a leader."

She clenched her fingers tightly, and she was in high spirits for a moment, as if she had seen her army break through the gate of the ugly country, and the opponent was defeated like a mountain.

"Your Highness, are you really sure that the emperor of the ugly country is dead?" Su Shu asked carefully, but he always felt panic in his heart. When he left the ugly country, he saw a scene of peace, although there was no It has completely recovered from the previous change, but it is not a total chaos.

"Hmph, are you doubting me?" The woman immediately pulled out a dagger from her calf, the shimmering cold light flickered, sometimes with purple light, it was obviously extremely poisonous.She caressed it with her eyes, as if looking at her dearest child.

"No one has ever survived its blade."

The sky was neither cloudy nor sunny that day, and the sun was not shining at noon, and a large area of ​​fish-belly white spread from one end to the other.The wind blew rustlingly, rolling up the frantic leaves.The weather was so cold that the water tank in the courtyard was covered with a thin layer of reflective ice.

It was rare for Chu Jinhe to bother him that day. The little eunuch serving him lit a brazier in the room and closed the windows tightly without leaving a single crack.The heater in the whole room was stuck in one place and couldn't get out. Chi Diao felt stuffy, so he went to the window with the hand stove in his arms.

He stood by the window for a while, but he heard a bang outside.It seemed that someone was knocking on the wooden sill of the window. Following the sound, he opened the window a crack.A little yellow thing fluttered its wings and fell in, bringing in a gust of cold wind.Chi Diao held the little thing that was almost out of heat in his palm, and recognized that it was one of the pair of orioles released by Chu Jinhe a few days ago.

He only released one pair at that time, and the rest were at Chi Diao's suggestion.They were all taken into the warm pavilion and raised by special personnel, and they will be released in the early spring of next year.

The poor little fellow had obviously suffered a lot these days, and he still had a wound on his right foot.The hair on his body was almost frozen into lumps of ice, clinging tightly to his body.

Chi Diao carefully held it in the palm of his hand and put it on the hand stove to warm it up for a long time before feeding it some hot water and fine millet.The little thing didn't want to eat any more after eating a little bit, and was about to fly out with its wings flapping.

Knowing its meaning vaguely, Chi Diao put on the cloak and pushed open the door, and found another oriole that had fallen on the ground under the eaves at the corner, long gone.

Sighing, Chi Diao asked someone to bury it under the tree, turned around with the other one in his hand and was about to enter the house, but bumped into Chu Jinhe who was hurrying to go in.

"Muzhuo!"

Chu Jinhe called him very happily, and was about to pull his sleeve.

"Come with me, I'll show you something nice."

The author has something to say:

Chi Diao: I feel bad.

good night mua!!
