Fraternity of Queens Chapter 16

In the evening, Harper Hai did moxibustion at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic opposite the community. Before going to bed, she thought that tomorrow would be Sunday because it was closed and she could sleep in, so she turned off her mobile phone. Unexpectedly, I woke up at 4:30 in the morning. I couldn't fall asleep and stared at the glass window with my eyes wide open. In the swallow's nest on the upper edge of the window, the swallows have not moved yet. The discovery of swallows happened the year before last. They were building nests at that time. There can be swallows in the city, and the swallows came and built their nests in such a heavy haze. 

Harper Hai was pleasantly surprised for a long time. According to ancient books, there is nothing more auspicious than a swallow's nest growing on the beam. She looked at all the wooded areas on the roof but could not find Ganoderma lucidum. She was worried that the swallows would stop working at any time and choose a nest elsewhere, so she did not dare to open that window for more than ten days. 

The good thing is that after every time the nest is built along the edge, the swallows come every year, and this year they stayed there for twelve days. Harper Hai looked at the bird's nest and once again thought of the four-character idiom "The swallow is detached": Swallows are close to people, but they are not like cats and dogs that hang out with people every day. They are always on the lintels, beams and window sills, Stay away from others. Harper Hai got up, washed herself, made a cup of milk powder, added some cereal, ate it, and said that she was not as good as a swallow, and went to the tea house again.

After getting up so early, there were many people on the street, and vehicles were constantly coming and going. Rather than saying that a new day in the world has begun again, it is better to say that the world has continued to rotate. Hai Ruoyei had a strange idea. In a city with tens of millions of people, no matter where they live, it seems that they have never heard of anyone entering the wrong house. Looking at the tall buildings far and near, countless windows have been lit up, and sighing at these dark cement mountains, the mountains turned out to be empty, empty mountains.

When we arrived at the entrance of the tea house, the sky was still blurry. Harper Hai did not enter the shop, but went to the dew market behind. There is a chime in Boss Wu's Buddhist hall. Boss Wu said that it was found in Lushui Market. It was rare to come so early, Harper Hai thought there should be a chime on the second floor of the tea house. It is true that Dew City is called a ghost market. All the sellers and buyers are not clearly visible, and there is a lot of chattering and low voices. Harper Hai wandered around there for a few times, but found no chime, but found a gong. The seller claimed that this gong was from the Ming Dynasty and was bought from the home of an ancestor who was a clock watcher. Harper Hai did not care about the authenticity of the date, but thought the watchman's gong was good. The clock watcher got up early and told others that they were safe. , and carried it back to the tea house.
