March 20, the Spring Equinox.
The climate is mild, with abundant rainfall and bright sunshine.
With the end of a spring rain, the climate on Fairy Peak has also become significantly warmer. Wild flowers are blooming all over the mountains and plains, and they are colorful and beautiful.
At this time of the year, many people would meet up to climb mountains and take in the distant sights. However, now, the scenic spot was originally planned to open to the public, but due to the epidemic, it had to be postponed indefinitely.
It is said that he is someone who came back from several provinces. He ran around the city for several days, and the nucleic acid test was positive. Fortunately, the leadership team of Zhongcheng responded promptly and immediately decided to close the city, so the epidemic did not spread to a wider area.
"This virus is too powerful." Fairy Bai sighed while watching the local news broadcast.
It is said that in several communities, more than a dozen people have been infected and are currently in isolation.
"Isn't it? It has mutated into several versions. Even if you have been vaccinated, you have a high chance of being infected."
"But why do I see some people saying they support opening up? They also say that this virus is just a large flu, and mild symptoms can be cured in a few days." Fairy Bai asked him.
"Yue Ling, there are a lot of true and false news on the Internet. Don't believe it. Anyone who says such things at this juncture is either stupid or bad. Who doesn't have old people and children? Once you let go, you will be so sure of yourself. Your relatives will not be infected? That’s why we must firmly support the country’s policies. At this time, we should take care of ourselves and not add unnecessary burdens to society, which is the contribution that citizens should make.”
Old God Jiang Qiao was sitting on the deck chair on the balcony basking in the sun. He had planned to go on a trip before, but he had the wit to give up at that time. Otherwise, he might be locked up and isolated somewhere now.
Thinking about it now, it is better to have his own land. The city is closed, but he is not affected in the mountains. He can go wherever he wants. The only inconvenience is probably that he cannot go to the supermarket to purchase supplies, but fortunately You can buy fruits and vegetables from nearby farmers. As for daily snacks, his convenience store has plenty of them.
"Mom, I saw on the news that there was a positive case in our community?"
"It's your Aunt Liu. She went to the market to buy vegetables before and was said to have been in close contact with a positive person. The result was confirmed within two days. Now their whole family has been quarantined and the community has been sealed off. Fortunately for me, I spend most of my time eating in the school cafeteria.”
Xia Qinghe's voice continued to ring on the phone: "Son, do you know that you and Yue Ling must not go home during this period?"
"Of course, I'm not stupid."
"How is your place now?"
“The weather is very good, the sun is shining, there are no clouds in the sky, and all the flowers are blooming... ”
"Stop, stop reading your essay. I read it every day, but you still don't let me feel at ease."
"Mom, if the city is closed, where is the school? Are the children taking online classes collectively?"
"Nonsense, the higher ups have spoken. Learning will not stop even if classes are suspended, and growth will not stop."
Jiang Qiao subconsciously felt lucky that he graduated early, otherwise he would still be tortured now.
"Do you have enough supplies at home?"
"That's enough. It's not like you don't know that during the Chinese New Year, your dad and I can eat enough rice and oil for several months, but the fruits and vegetables may not be enough. But there's no point in rushing this kind of thing. Just listen to the community's arrangements. What's important is It’s better not to cause any trouble.”
After chatting with the little old lady at home about the situation at home, Jiang Qiao specifically asked him several times to stay home and stay safe and cooperate with the community's actions before hanging up the phone.
One of the old couple is an old party member and the other is an old teacher. Their political consciousness must be higher than that of ordinary people. Jiang Qiao is afraid that his ideology is too correct, so the old couple can't help but become volunteers, but he still has There is no way to say that serving the people is what we should do.
Fairy Bai asked: "What did Auntie say?"
"My family was stabbed in the throat every day. Fortunately, we were on the mountain. Otherwise, we would have had to get out of bed early in the morning to get tested."
"Su Jin told me the same thing."
She took out her mobile phone and opened the chat history and handed it to him: "No matter what I say, my throat has been poked out. Now I'm crying and telling me that I stay at home every day. I shouldn't have gone back a few days ago, otherwise I can still wander around the mountains now." , enjoy the spring.”
"She thinks too much. Where can she live if she doesn't go back? I don't have a place for her to live here." Jiang Qiao rolled his eyes and thought, how could he be intimate with his wife
Bai Xianzi thought about it. The shameless woman would still come out after she fell asleep. If Wu Sujin saw such a wild side of her, her image would be completely ruined.
"It's true that we can't live here." She nodded in agreement.
Jiang Qiao had nothing to do and opened the small broken website to look at the background data. After a few days, the data of all aspects of the video had stabilized and no longer skyrocketed like at the beginning.
But the number of views has exceeded 3 million, with 250,000 likes and nearly 270,000 coins. It can be said to be a series with more coins than the likes. The most important thing is that the number of fans has reached 200,000 with just one video. , has become a veritable fanatic, and there are already a lot of people claiming to be old fans in the comment area.
"Yue Ling, many friends recognized you at Fairy Peak and said that they must meet you by chance after the epidemic. More people are asking, when will the next issue be updated? Already looking forward to Sister Fairy's Appearing again." Jiang Qiao said with a smile.
Fairy Bai looked at the weather outside and hesitated slightly: "How about making a kite?"
"Okay, the vernal equinox is the time to fly kites." Jiang Qiao frowned, "But, can you still make kites?"
"My master also taught me."
Jiang Qiao blinked. He seemed to know a lot in his previous life.
"So... can you?" Fairy Bai said with a smile on her face.
"Uh... I can only let it go, but I may not be able to let it go well." He was a little embarrassed for a moment, but the last life happened in the previous life and had nothing to do with him now.
"Okay, stop thinking about it. I'm not your stupid disciple who fell in love with his master. I have never regarded your master and you as the same person. You are who you are."
"Yes, I am who I am." Jiang Qiao smiled. This was what he liked about Fairy Bai.
"By the way, what type of kite do you want to make?"
Bai Xianzi said seriously: "Bingdundun is very good. When the time comes, we can also use it as a lottery to give to fans."
It can be seen that Fairy Bai is still very impressed by the Winter Olympics that ended not long ago, especially the cute panda, whose price was so high back then.
"Hey, you actually learned how to operate an account."
She blushed slightly: "I see other ups do the same thing."
"Then start now? Do you have all the tools at home?"
"Well, it should be complete. You bought me a lot of tools last time. Am I considered a grandma in the craft area now?"
Jiang Qiao shook his head with a serious face: "No, you still have to cook. A fairy who can't play the flute and make kites is not a good cook."
Fairy Bai was in a daze, wondering what they were talking about. Then she thought about it carefully and realized that this guy just wanted her to cook for him.
Huh, seeing how hard it is for him to edit videos every time, I just let him do it for the time being.
The process of making a kite sounds simple, just lay out the frame, put the kite paper on the lake, and finally tie the string and it can fly. However, if you want to make a good kite, it requires very high technical skills.
For example, now, Jiang Qiao saw Fairy Bai going to the bamboo forest with a hatchet and cutting down a purple bamboo with a larger diameter. The remaining bamboo pole from last time, Fairy Bai said that she would make it into a flute next time, so she kept it. .
After returning home, she used a knife to cut the purple bamboo into tiny bamboo strips, and then built a basic frame according to Bing Dundun's cute appearance.
"The kite you made is actually three-dimensional?" Jiang Qiao was confused.
He had been filming the video, and only then did he realize when he looked at the bamboo strips skeleton in front of him that was very similar to Bing Dundun's body shape. He had obviously been watching the fairy make it. Which step did he fail to follow
"Yes, since you have decided to give it to fans, of course you have to make it carefully." Fairy Bai nodded matter-of-factly.
"The question is, can this three-dimensional thing fly?" He scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"Your question is like asking why an airplane can fly so high and far in the air when it's such a big iron lump."
“…”
Jiang Qiao was speechless. As a modern man, he was laughed at by an alien who had never seen the world.
"Okay, then I'll wait and see."
I have been busy from the morning until the sun sets in the afternoon before the Bingdundun three-dimensional kite is completed. The technical content this time is much higher than that of making a cave flute. It took several hours just to finalize the skeleton. The subsequent painting stage , Bai Xianzi’s perfect painting skills are more vividly reflected under Jiang Qiao’s lens.
The final difficulty is to make the stickers and the skeleton fit perfectly. If the sizes of the two do not match, it means that the work has been in vain.
Here comes the finishing touch. Bing Dundun's eyes can actually move. Jiang Qiao tried to blow a breath, and his cute eyes quickly turned as if blinking. It is conceivable that once in the sky, Flying freely, how beautiful that scene is.
"Are you really going to give it to your fans?"
He suddenly felt reluctant to part with it. The details were so perfect that it transcended the scope of ordinary kites and could be called handicrafts.
"I said we would draw a lottery." Fairy Bai said in a serious tone.
"All right… "
Jiang Qiao's tone was a little helpless, but Fairy Bai was his wife. If he wanted to be one in the future, he would have to be a obedient one
A kite had three trembling lines, facing the wind. It took Fairy Bai several attempts to find the trick to fly. Looking up, the cute Bing Dundun seemed to be waving to them in the sky.
"Yue Ling, if you made this kite during the Winter Olympics, wouldn't the traffic explode? It would probably be on CCTV news."
Jiang Qiao imitated the tone of the news and said: "Recently, in order to celebrate the Winter Olympics, a woman from Zhongcheng successfully flew a huge three-dimensional ice kite on Fairy Peak, attracting thousands of people to watch..."
"We can try it in the next Olympics." Fairy Bai said seriously.
"Pfft, I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously. The Olympic Games are held every four years and countries around the world compete. What's more, the individual Paralympic Games in the Winter Olympics have just ended. I don't know if it will be our country's turn to host them again. how long."
"oh… "
Bingdundun flew in the air for a while and was collected by Fairy Bai. Jiang Qiao said that it was already very late now, so it could only be regarded as a test flight. If he wanted to take good-looking and artistic shots, he would have to wait for a sunny day. days.
The two of them packed up and went home, placing the kite on the shelf in the store to avoid being damaged by the two naughty kittens jumping around when they took it upstairs.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, Fairy Bai suddenly grabbed Jiang Qiao, frowned and said, "Wait a minute, there is the smell of blood in the air."
Jiang Qiao was stunned for a moment subconsciously. He and Fairy Bai were usually the only two people at home, so the smell of blood was quite strange.
He didn't close the store when he went out for a test flight just now. Could it be that someone sneaked into the house at that time? In just a few breaths, the plot of someone killing people, dumping their bodies, and then framing them was already in his mind.
"Yue Ling, don't scare me. Are you saying there might have been a fatal incident upstairs?"
She nodded: "The smell of blood is very strong, don't be afraid. If there is a thief, I will protect you."
Jiang Qiao pinched his fingers, and now he remembered that during this period, he practiced the Little Golden Man every day. His body bones had become extremely tough and his strength had become much stronger. He was really not afraid of ordinary gangsters with knives.
"These are all trivial matters. The most urgent task is to leave evidence to prove that this matter has nothing to do with us."
Jiang Qiao turned on the camera and turned on the photography mode. The two sneaked upstairs, but at a glance they saw scattered blood stains on the ground, leading to Fu Lu Shou Xi's cat nest.
Fu Lu Shou Xi's belly looks full, and they are lying in the cat's nest licking each other's fur.
Looking at the remaining half-rat corpse outside the balcony, both of them fell silent.
There was indeed a death, but the protagonist was a mouse. There were blood stains everywhere in the living room and on the balcony, and there was an ear that was almost split in half. It looked like it had been scratched by a cat's claws.
Jiang Qiao inexplicably thought that before a cat eats a mouse, it will play with it as much as possible. It will not choose to eat it until the cat gets tired of playing with it or the mouse dies unbearably.
Now looking at the scene of the death, this mouse must have lived a miserable life. After all, it had to face two hunters with unlimited energy at the same time, and it couldn't escape no matter how hard it was.
"Is it the mouse in your warehouse?" Fairy Bai asked.
Jiang Qiao nodded and said: "It should be. Now it seems that I made the right decision to raise these two. I thought that Fu Lu Shou Xi had become a pet cat, but I didn't expect that the wildness is still there."
Anyone who has opened a convenience store or restaurant knows that warehouses are the most likely to breed pests such as rats and cockroaches. These pests can come just by smelling them, and you can't prevent them no matter how hard you try.
"It's natural for a cat to eat a mouse." Fairy Bai smiled.
"indeed so."
Jiang Qiao knelt down and touched their heads.
"For the sake of your meritorious service, I will prepare delicious chicken breast for you tomorrow."
