Hunter and Hussar

Chapter 27 The Return of Han Qiu

Everyone blocked the door of the locker room, and Mi Le and I thought Yan Xi was playing a prank again.Last time he put a blackboard eraser on the door, Zhao Rui ate a pile of chalk dust as soon as he walked in the door, which made me very happy.

Ye Ruiyang told me that there was a strange thing in the locker room, and no one dared to go in.

"What? A snake or a bat?" Mi Le immediately took a few steps back when he heard this, even though the door was still tightly closed.

"It's an owl." Ye Ruiyang said.

"What's so scary about an owl? Just open the door and let it fly out." I said, "I thought it was a ghost."

"Brother Chuan and Taotao went to open it just now, trying to make it fly out, but they were chased by owls, so they quickly closed the door." Mingming had a very helpless expression.

"No way, obviously, you're so tall, why don't you catch it and let it go?" Mi Le asked.

"Who dares? He is a national second-class protected animal. If he accidentally hurts it, he will not be able to compensate you if he sells you." Ye Ruiyang smacked his lips, showing that he knew a lot.

"Come on, if you sell you, you can afford it, right? The price of pork has risen again." Mi Le nodded back at him.

If you delay for a while, you may miss the warm-up, although the seniors and Mu Zheng haven't come yet.It would be nice if they were here. I guess a big man like Yuan Yikong is not too afraid of owls.To be honest, we are really a bunch of kids. Last time we compared with Beichuan’s classmates, we felt that everyone was tall and big, and half of our faces hadn’t even opened yet.

"You don't know that owls are birds of prey, but they are cruel. They don't just eat mice, they also eat birds, fish, and even snakes..." Ye Ruiyang was still talking.

"Isn't it you who brought us here? Yesterday you were blackmailing our school, saying that birds don't want to come to the wilderness. Now it's all right, they flew into the locker room today!" Mi Le said to him today Cross talk.

"Why didn't you say that this stupid bird was sent by Beichuan? Instead of flying to the visiting team's locker room, he came here to make trouble for the home team? They have many foreigners, maybe some of them can use magic, and it's normal to have an owl..."

"Didn't you tell the coach and captain?" I asked Mingming.

He shook his head: "I told you, but I haven't replied yet, and I didn't answer the phone call. I don't know what's wrong."

If we continue to toss like this, we will not be able to change clothes and warm up in time.It seems that I really want to win the game today, or the argument between Mi Le and Ye Ruiyang made me a little annoyed, or maybe I thought of something from the past, so I suddenly leaned my backpack against the wall outside the locker room and walked over He opened the door.

"Ke Ke, what are you doing?" Mi Le saw it, and immediately grabbed my clothes.

"I'll go and see, you open the door and let it fly out."

"Don't go, what if it catches you?" Mi Le refused to let go.

"Let's wait for the coach to come." Mingming said.

"It's okay, I've dealt with things like this before."

I twisted open the door and stepped forward.Miller followed me, but hid behind him, grabbing the hem of my blouse.We walked into a place we had been to a dozen times like an adventure in a haunted house.

I saw a bird leaning on the window sill with its back to us, as if thinking.

"Brother, let's wait for Mom and Dad to come back. Don't go alone."

"Forget it, didn't you just say that you were afraid it would shit and pee on your bed?"

"But what if it pecks at you? What about bird flu?"

"Then I can only sacrifice honorably, and then you should reflect on yourself, why did you open the windows so wide."

"I don't want to! Brother, don't go!"

"Go away."

I pushed him away and opened the bedroom door resolutely.The bird gripped there firmly with its claws, looking out on its own.It looks like a magpie, with elegant dark blue feathers flowing from its back to the tip of its long tail, which is very beautiful.I even kind of hope it stays here for a while, and doesn't fly away suddenly.

Someone was pulling my clothes, and I turned around in fright, thinking there was another bird.It was Xianxian who was behind me grabbing the hood of my pullover, like a frightened kitten grabbing the tail of its bigger companion.

"You scared me to death. What are you doing here?" The voice was not loud, I was afraid to startle the bird.

"I'm afraid it will hit you."

"coward."

It may have heard our voice, turned its head to look at us, then flapped its blue-edged wings lightly, and jumped to the branch outside the window.Xianxian jumped up from behind me, closed the window immediately, and let out a long breath.I thought it was okay, but he rushed up and hugged me tightly.

"What are you crazy about!"

"Brother, you are really brave!"

"Have it?"

"Really, you just walked in the door without changing your face or heartbeat. I think it's amazing! I'm going to be so nervous to hide behind you, lest it fly around and bump around."

"Ah, it's turned around!" Mi Le yelled out, and I heard a commotion behind me, and I could imagine everyone gathered at the door to watch.The owl is not big, even small, and like us, its wings have not grown.Its head literally turned 180 degrees and cut to the back to wink at us.

"Friend? Brother? Can you go out? This is our place, not yours..." This is so stupid, as if it understands.

"Why are you so afraid of birds? Aren't their expressions rather silly and cute?"

"Brother, it's not what you take for granted. Their eyes are not the windows to the soul. I checked, and the faces of birds lack muscles, and they don't have as many expressions as us. You think it's cute or nice, but it's just It’s just your own feeling, maybe it is preparing to attack you! So isn’t it scary? It’s hard to judge what it’s going to do by its reaction. When you encounter them, you must be vigilant anytime and anywhere.”

"It seems to be angry! Let's go." Mi Le was pulling my clothes back.

It's still staring at me.Although I know it's just my imagination, it's different from people and can't understand our emotions.But it did look at me, with those deep eyes hidden in its feathers.

I heard Mi Le yelling, and the teammates outside the door were also yelling.He tried to drag me away, but I was motionless, my surroundings were becoming blurred, only the pale daylight from that window was so bright that it was dazzling.My brain seemed to be disconnected, unable to respond, only sent out a message, ordering me to stop in place, like a statue to stop in place...

In the end, Miller still didn't let go of his hand.Everyone quieted down, and I could feel that they were looking at us with a very strange look.Mi Le turned his head in front of me and asked me if I was okay. I nodded and shook my head dully, suddenly feeling a little heavier on my shoulders.

The owl landed on my right shoulder.Turning its head as if nothing had happened, when I looked at it, it turned to look at me, and I was looking at it in its eyes.I looked away and it moved its head at the same time.

The people outside the door were probably stunned.I thought it would be better to go out, so I headed for the door.Mi Le let go and followed me, as if I were a performer with a snake wrapped around my body.Everyone consciously lined up in two rows at the door, as if to welcome some important person to enter.

"Ke Ke, are you okay?" Ye Ruiyang's eyes doubled.

I said there is nothing wrong, you go and change your clothes.

So everyone went in, and Mi Le and I stayed outside the door.The owl had no intention of leaving.

"Go and change your clothes too, there will be a game later."

"I dont go."

"Call my sister and ask her what to do. She should be in the stands."

Miller hit.My sister scolded both of us on the phone, saying that we were fooling around and playing some kind of hero.She hung up the phone after cursing for about a minute, and when she put down the phone, she had already run in front of us.

"Did your parents tell you that it is difficult to find the police? Are you playing football stupidly? So many boys, no one thought of calling the police?" She clicked on the best way to solve the problem as soon as she came. It's stupid enough to call 110 without even thinking about it.

The coach soon arrived, and seeing me standing at the door of the locker room with an owl on my shoulder, I almost thought it was a cosplay classmate from the anime club.The main reason is that my face is expressionless, exactly the same as the bird on my shoulder.She asked dumbfoundedly if we had called the police, and my sister said that she had called, and the police uncle would be there in a while.So she asked her sister to accompany me to wait for the police, and then she went in with the unwilling Mi Le.Mu Zheng and several seniors also arrived later, and they also saw me welcoming guests at the door of the locker room with an owl on my shoulders.

"We are not a football club now, let's change it to a magic club." Yuan Yikong laughed and leaned on the wall to enter.

"Student, if you persist for a while, you will win if you persist." The captain at least looked serious.

Ye Ruiyang changed his clothes and went to warm up. When he passed by me, he said, it's a pity that it is protecting animals, otherwise it would be good to stay as a mascot.Zhao Rui came out behind him, holding the broom in the dressing room in his hand, and asked if he would take the opportunity to take a photo.

I tell him to fuck off.

"Why can't you take pictures?" My sister said while tapping her mobile phone, and handed me the broom, "My brother, you are promising, this owl is obedient on your shoulder, it doesn't bark or move, it seems to know you Same for you. It wouldn't be..."

"Couldn't it be what?"

"Isn't it the one who sent you the admission letter to the magic school? Think about it, what day is today?"

"What day is today?"

"I don't know if you are really stupid or pretending to be confused!" My sister habitually slapped me, but her hand stopped in mid-air, she must be concerned about the thing on my shoulder, "Muggle!"

I noticed that the owl poked its head forward, as if it was very interested in what my sister said, and wanted to listen to it.Who knows?More likely just trying to stretch your neck.

"You said, is it waiting for you in the locker room?" My sister asked.I didn't answer, and the two of them were silent until there was a sound of brisk footsteps coming from the corridor.Seeing who that person was, I knew it must be my sister who did something good.

"You're here, hurry up and take a picture of me and my brother. He's going to the train station soon, and there's no delay." My sister called Yue Yin over, and asked me to pose with a broom in a nice pose.I was so angry that I put on a very embarrassed expression.

"Ke Ke, why don't you be more happy, you will be enrolled soon. Why do you look like you didn't find the right platform and bumped your head against the pillar?"

"That's right, just smile, and if you don't smile, your college's points will be deducted!"

The few people who came out of the locker room got a chance to take a photo with the future magician, and Mi Le was no exception. He felt more at ease than before.Facing the sound of the shutter, the owl didn't panic at all, and kept pawing firmly.

The police uncle finally came.Although it wasn't long before we called the police, I stood here, doing nothing but being photographed by the camera, and the time was extremely long.

When it was time to say goodbye, I was a little bit reluctant, as if I was used to letting it rest on my shoulders.But I still told it, you go home, brother, don't get lost next time.I really don't understand why I have to say such silly things, like a child of a few years old.But it seemed to understand what I said, jumped off the shoulder, jumped onto the box prepared for it by the police uncle, turned its head to look at me and my sister again, and even bobbed its head up and down a little—— Maybe it's just my illusion, it doesn't understand what I'm talking about at all.The two policemen thanked us and said that if we encounter such a thing again, we should call the police in time, and don't take risks to deal with it.

gone.

Too much time wasted, I know I can't start today, and the owl was taken away, a little sad.In fact, I might not be able to start at first, the owl is more free and does not belong to me, but why is it still sad?
I was hugged.

"What are you doing? Let go, someone will think we are in a relationship!"

"Let them think it's good. Wei Wei you fool."

She still let me go.

"why are you crying?"

"Can't you cry? Alright, let's go to the stadium to warm up. We're going to play against Beichuan."

"Aren't you going to the train station?"

In my impression, my sister seldom cries in front of me.Except that time when I shut the door, there was also the time when I quarreled with her at the beginning of school.By the way, there is still time to send the strings away.

How can she cry today?

Much later, she would tell me that, before the game against Kitagawa, we were alone in the hallway outside the dressing room, and she thought of a folklore, as far-fetched as it sounds: that dead people die somewhere At this moment, I suddenly turn into a small animal and come to my relatives, stay with them for a short time, and then leave in a hurry, returning to the world that belongs to them.And the day the owl appeared in our locker room for no reason happened to be Xianxian's birthday.She said that Xianxian has been afraid of the cold since she was a child. The sun that day was frozen like pale ice, and her feet were cold when she recalled it.
