Chapter Seventy-Two: The Robot Cat and the 52 Hz Whale
"Just the robot cat, Tinker Bell," Bai Yi fiddled with the bell tied to the puppet's neck, "Isn't this simple and clear......"
Looking at Bai Ling putting this hand puppet in his hand to play, Bai Yi's eyes showed a soft look, "By the way, do you know what I thought of when I sewed this robot cat?" ”
"What?" Bai Ling looked up at him.
Bai Yi's eyes lowered, "I thought of that 52 Hz whale. ”
Bai Ling tilted his head slightly.
She had also heard the story of this whale, the gray whale, known as the loneliest whale in the world.
It crosses the Pacific Ocean, passes through the snow-covered Northwest Passage, and eventually reaches the Atlantic.
It has no companions, no relatives along the way. Because the sound frequency of ordinary whales is only 15~25 Hz, and its sound frequency of 52 Hz makes it impossible for it to be heard by its own kind, and it will never be able to hear the sound of its own kind.
Bai Yi raised his head and said seriously, "I think the two of us are like two 52 Hz whales here. ”
Bai Ling was a little surprised, but quickly understood.
This metaphor made her suddenly a little sour, and it also made her lower her head, and she couldn't help but sigh with a smile.
It seems so.
Seeing Bai Ling suddenly laughing, Bai Yi was a little embarrassed.
He really doesn't have much experience in talking to girls about this kind of literary youth.
He still remembers that when he first arrived here, he also dreamed all night long, homesick, and thought of a way back.
Later, when Bai Ling came, he thought that things were not so bad.
It seems that as long as there is a companion by one's side, one will not forget who one is or where one came from.
Perhaps it was because of this personal experience that he thought of making a doll and bringing it to accompany Bai Ling - it is too difficult to live alone in this world, relying on the persistence of only one person.
"I'm not listening to you say that......" Bai Ling leaned back, pursed her lips, as if she was laughing and crying.
Bai Yi scratched his head, "Isn't this the second middle school......"
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, Bai Yi coughed, and stepped forward to poke the four-dimensional pocket of the robot cat, "(English) In short, when this time next year, when the matter of the concubine is over, our family will go far away and live a free life." ”
Bai Ling laughed out loud this time.
What a standard flag.
But she nodded very solemnly.
At this moment, she suddenly wanted to hug Bai Yi, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, Bai Yi dodged and jumped away.
"It hurts, it hurts!" Bai Yi pointed to his back and exclaimed.
"Sorry, sorry......"
Bai Ling looked at him and wanted to say something more, but Jia Yuchun had already stepped aside to urge.
“…… Okay, I'll go. Bai Yi had to stand up, and while going out, he turned back and said, "I'll come to see you another day, you can recuperate!" ”
The head of a robot cat poked out from the head of the bed and waved gently at Bai Yi.
……
When he walked into the courtyard, Jia Yuchun's footsteps suddenly stopped. Bai Yi couldn't dodge and crashed into his back.
"Slave and maid, see the concubine!" Jia Yuchun knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
Only then did Bai Yi see that there was a richly dressed woman standing on the stone steps not far away.
The woman looked very haggard, and her skin was sickly pale because she was rarely exposed to the sun.
But those eyes, those half-open eyes, still have a bit of the charm of the past.
Bai Yi had no choice but to kneel in response to the call - this is really the most annoying thing after he entered the palace, in this court with complicated rules, kneeling is commonplace, and it is a etiquette that cannot be bypassed.
Every time he knelt down, Bai Yi felt a strong disobedience in his heart, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was disgusted.
He was upset, but he never thought to dispel the discomfort. Because, this disgust is like a sign - a sign that he has not yet been tamed by anyone.
Compared with the matter of kneeling at every turn, Bai Yi is more afraid that one day he will get used to the difference between dignity and humility in this palace wall, and he will get used to bowing down to some people, and he will become like these eunuchs who seem to be on the verge of death.
If there really was such a day, he would definitely kill himself first.
"You're Bai Yi?" Qu's voice was low, sounding a little cold.
"Yes." Bai Yi raised his head and met Qu's gaze.
For a moment, Bai Yi instinctively felt slightly frightened - the concubine looked at him with a look in her eyes as if she was about to cut a piece of flesh off him, full of distrust and hostility.
Bai Yi gasped.
What's going on with the ladies in this palace?
How can one or two have this kind of temperament......
The one in Xianfu Palace was about to beat someone if he didn't agree with him, and the one in Chengqian Palace glared at him fiercely without saying a word.
…… What kind of taste does the emperor have?
Qu's back was straight, and his voice was cold, "How is Bai Ling?" ”
"Back to my mother, my sister is fine." Bai Yi replied loudly, "But in the past two days, please take care of your mother, don't let her do too much work, let her recuperate for a few days——"
"Shut up!" Jia Yuchun glanced sideways slightly, and his voice became stern, "What is Niangniang going to do, it's not your turn to point fingers here." ”
The corners of Bai Yi's mouth sank slightly.
Qu snorted very softly, and she stretched out her hand and let Bao Yuan help her down the steps step by step.
"What did you talk about in your room for more than an hour?"
"Hui Niangniang, I-"
"This palace asked Jia Yuchun, not you."
Although Qu's voice was soft, it had a tone that did not allow others to beak it.
Bai Yi looked puzzled - obviously the concubine was protective of Bai Ling, but where did this hostility towards herself come from?
Jia Yuchun had a smile on his face, "Go back to my mother...... It's all, ordinary brothers and sisters catch up, and there are some reminders, nothing else. ”
"Oh, yes." Qu Shi glanced at Bai Yi, "What are you saying, this palace also wants to hear it." ”
Jia Yuchun raised his head, "He told Miss Bailing to take good care of her illness and come to see her another day." That's right...... Fang Cai also gave the girl a small puppet, and Miss Bai Ling seemed to like it very much. ”
"Yes." Qu Shi's expression was blank, and then he slowly turned around, "...... Bothered. ”
After that, Bai Yi saw her going towards Bai Ling's house - it turned out that the concubine was also going to visit.
Bai Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He had a faint premonition - if he really asked Bai Ling for something just now, he would probably inevitably be dragged out of the Chengqian Palace and beaten at this time.
Before leaving the Chengqian Palace, he looked back deeply.
In this palace, there are Longtan tiger's dens everywhere.
Staying in this kind of place every day, staying with these people who have the power to kill others at every turn, in the end...... What does it taste like?
