[Tomb Raider] Escape

Comrade Xiao Qiao has been feeling very distressed recently.

One day when he returned home from the research institute after work, he found that the room was in a mess, not to mention the cups and saucers on the cabinet were broken, and there was still a smell of feces in the room.

His first reaction was that the house had been burglarized, so he rushed into the room to check the damage, but found that there were no signs of opening the drawers and cabinets except for the messy small items placed outside.

——The most important thing is that the room is full of white hairs, and there is a lump of green bird droppings on the pillow!

Qiao Yu almost fainted, and forced herself to walk calmly into the kitchen, and finally found the culprit——

A big white pigeon pecking at his rice bag, Si Niu!

It is said that Qiao Yu can recognize Si Niu at a glance, not because he has the ability to recognize birds. In fact, he has never seen a pigeon in this world that is as fat as Si Niu, or even fatter than a hen. !

He was surprised for less than a few seconds, gritted his teeth and walked forward with a ferocious smile, trying to catch the dead bird that had made a mess of his tidy hut.Si Niu's ability to perceive danger was very powerful. Before Qiao Yu could get close, he had already flapped his wings and flew up again.Needless to say, the already messy kitchen was further messed up during the bird hunt.

By the time Qiao Yu grabbed Si Niu in embarrassment with a bird's feather inserted, she was already exhausted and out of breath.

Gritting her teeth, Qiao Yu stood up from a pile of loose rice while hugging it: "I'll eat stewed pigeon soup tonight!"

Si Niu's ability to be obedient is also top-notch. At this time, he is as obedient and docile as a deer, and keeps rubbing his fat head against Qiao Yu's hand, as if the culprit who messed up the room just now is another bird.

Qiao Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

He took a look at the four cows, and found a small bamboo tube tied to its paw, so he took the bamboo tube off.He worriedly put Si Niu on the table temporarily, and Si Niu shook his head very obediently, as if to promise that he would be obedient and stop making trouble.

Qiao Yu opened the bamboo tube, took out the paper inside, and saw a poem written on it:

"The moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, I miss you every day, but I don't see you, and I have nothing to hate;

Time is separated, space is separated, every night is frightening and dreams are hard to come by, and there are three more. "

Qiao Yu suddenly felt flushed and dry mouth: This is a naked love poem!

He stammered and asked Si Niu: "This, this, what is this?"

Si Niu shook his head innocently.

Qiao Yu was in a mess, and carried Si Niu to the window, only to find that she forgot to close the window when she left in the morning and let it fly in.He weighed Si Niu in his arms, and Si Niu flapped his wings spiritually and flew away.

Qiao Yu returned to the room holding the note, her heart was still beating wildly, but she calmed down after seeing the mess all over the floor.

——What else do you want?Let's clean the room first!

When Qiao Yu left the next day, she made a special effort to close the window.But after closing the window, he hesitated again. For some reason, he held some anticipation in his heart, and opened the window a little.After struggling for a while, he still closed the window, locked the door and went to work.

After he got home from get off work, he heard an aggressive noise by the window. He walked over and saw Si Niu squatting pitifully on the window sill, with a bamboo tube still tied to his foot.

Qiao Yu suddenly felt his heart beating faster, opened the window and let Si Niu in, took the letter from his lap, and let it go again.

As usual, there is still a love poem on the letter paper:

"Entering the door of my lovesickness, I know that my lovesickness is bitter, the long-term lovesickness is long, and the short lovesickness is infinite."

Day three, day four...

After a week, rain or shine, he received seven love poems.

The time when Qiao Yu was at a loss at first passed, and she gradually felt puzzled: How could there be such smart pigeons in the world?How did it find its home?There is no signature under each love letter, did it come from Nangong Gousheng?

He came to the computer, opened Baidu and looked it up.

"People use homing pigeons because pigeons have a natural ability to homing." ——Written on Baidu Encyclopedia.

Qiao Yu smiled wonderingly at the screen: How did you find that damned fat pigeon?Could it be that the owner is abnormal and the pets he raises also have special abilities? !

But when I think about it, I still have to live a normal life.After all, Qiao Yu is in her 30s, so she won't be fascinated by a few love poems. She still lives as she used to, but the first thing after get off work every day is to go outside the window to receive letters, and she will buy some Keep the corn kernels at home, and reward Si Niu after receiving the letters every day.

After two weeks like this, Si Niu's weight has skyrocketed, and every day when he flies away from the window sill of his house, he feels like he is plummeting under the action of gravity. Even one day, when he delivered the letter late, Qiao Yu wondered if it was him. The four cows were too fat to fly up.

No. On the 15th day, there was an extra line of fine print under the love poem Qiao Yu received:

"Comrade Xiao Qiao, in order not to become the first pigeon to be run over by a car because of being fat and difficult to fly, please do not continue to feed it."

Xiao Qiao clutched the letter paper, smiled and bent over with tears in her eyes.

In the days after returning to Shanghai, he would occasionally meet Su Yi, and seeing the disappearing and long hickey marks on Su Yi's neck, he would still feel heartbroken—after all, it was a relationship of seven years, so how could he say nothing? Nope?If he was such a carefree person, he should have let go as early as the first time Su Yi held Li Yaoyao's hand and appeared in front of him.

But it's hard to be sad, something has changed—every time he sees Su Yi, he feels more relieved.In the past, Su Yi's tenderness made him feel that it was a reward for himself, but now he finally discovered that Su Yi's gentleness was just a barrier he used to reject others, and his real tenderness was only in his eyes when he looked at Li Yaoyao will be stored.

Occasionally, he would think of Nangong Gousheng's voice and smile, and when he heard "Comrade Xiao Qiao" echoing in his ears, he would laugh foolishly by himself.

On this day, Qiao Yu finally decided that it was time to write back to Comrade Nangong Gouzeng!

He was sitting in the study with a pen in his hand, with a brand new piece of letter paper spread out in front of him, and he hadn't written a single word after chewing on the pen for half an hour.

What should I write?How are you, Mr. Nangong Gousheng?Thank you very much for your attention?What the hell are you trying to do?Do you want to pursue me?

The more Qiao Yu thought about it, the more amusing she became. People in their 30s have not tried to write letters with a pen for more than ten years, and this method of sending letters by means of pigeons has never been seen before thousands of years ago.

After more than an hour, Qiao Yu rubbed out more than a dozen pieces of letter paper, and finally wrote six words:

"Or, you show up."

The next day, after Qiao Yu received the letter, she stuffed her small note into the bamboo tube, and patted Si Niu's butt to make it fly away.

He stood by the window sill with a smile on his face for a long time.

On the third day, after Qiao Yu got off work, she couldn't wait to take a taxi home. When she walked into the community, she deliberately looked around for a long time, but she didn't find Nangong Gousheng.There was nothing unusual when I got home.

The only difference is that Si Niu, who was supposed to deliver the letter at six o'clock on time, did not show up.

Qiao Yu stood by the window stupidly for half an hour, until her hungry stomach made protesting noises, and then went back to the kitchen in frustration and hurriedly cooked a bowl of instant noodles for herself.

After dinner, Qiao Yu didn't even dare to turn on the TV. She sat in the living room and read a book. From time to time, she pricked up her ears to pay attention to the movement outside the window. Every 10 minutes, she ran to the window to have a look, and finally opened the window wide.

After another two hours, nothing happened.

Qiao Yu gradually became nervous: Did something happen to Si Niu?Hit by a car?Too full for dinner to fly up?Or... Nangong Gousheng doesn't want to see him?

After thinking wildly for more than an hour, the book in front of me only turned three pages.When the clock pointed to 09:30, there was finally movement outside the window.

Qiao Yu almost dropped the book and rushed to the window sill, only to see Si Niu obediently standing outside the window, bowing her head and pecking at her own feathers from time to time.

With trembling fingers, Qiao Yu untied the bamboo tube from its feet and took out the letter inside.

This time there was no love poem, and there was only one sentence on the paper: "I'm shy." There was also a simple little human face painted next to it, with round dots painted on the cheeks, which should mean to express blushing.

Qiao Yu held the note, smiled and frowned for a while, and gradually blushed like the little figure on the paper.

He carried Si Niu into the house, thought for a while, wrote a small note "It's okay, let's meet and talk" and stuffed it back into the bamboo tube, and then let Si Niu fly.

In the following days, Qiao Yu and Nangong Gousheng began to communicate with carrier pigeons.

Qiao Yu kept urging Nangong Gousheng to show up, but Comrade Gousheng refused to show up like a big girl.Later, Qiao Yu felt like a wretched uncle who forced the netizen little loli to come out to meet her!

Just like this, it was delayed for another seven or eight days, and the National Day holiday was about to come in a blink of an eye.

Qiao Yu finished her work early that day and took the bus back home at noon.When I passed by the neighborhood, I saw a man with a big white bird on his shoulder chatting with the owner of a shop selling sausages.

This sausage shop has been open for three years, and there is a big blackboard at the door. In the first year, the blackboard was written in red chalk with the words "Opening Rewards: [-]% Off for the Whole Site", and the remuneration was paid for a whole year; A few days after the words “双客” were erased, a new line of large characters “The rent is due, jumping off the building for a big sale” was replaced on the blackboard, which lasted for two full years.

Qiao Yu approached a little closer, only to hear the middle-aged man say: "Hey, help friend, let's make a move to compete! It's a new show, what an enemy!" (Shanghai dialect: friend, you write like this No, it’s not new at all, it’s not unique!)

The uncle of the shop owner handed him a cigarette: "How can I make a move?" (Then how do you write it?)

The middle-aged man didn't ask for a cigarette, he picked up a piece of sausage and threw it into his mouth talking to himself, walked to the blackboard, erased the words on it, and wrote with chalk:

"It's okay if you can't afford abalone, try abalone sausage with honey sauce to satisfy your hunger and thirst!"

"Pfft...hahaha..."

Qiao Yu laughed tremblingly, stepped forward and asked softly, "Mr. Nangong~~, how many dialects do you know?"

Nangong Gousheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed happily: "Comrade Xiao Qiao, I am Du Yuesheng's nephew, didn't I tell you?"
