第300章 禽言人心(1 / 2)

王葛要把木料凿成“凹”形,此为城墙垛口的模块。垛口在利于守城方瞭望敌情、反击的同时,也利于攻城方攀爬、偷袭。

凿掉的碎木,都被她扫落到工具凳底下一步左右的距离。稍显粗野的动作没吓跑秦吉了,它前倾小脑袋,盯着碎木断断续续掉落,突然叫出一个字:“木。”

王葛停止刻木。此禽这么聪明吗,能把学到的人话跟器物对起来?

秦吉了歪头跟她对视。不,它看的是她手中的木块。王葛把“凹”形木推到凳边,掉地。

秦吉了摆正身姿。

王葛等了两个呼吸。

“木。”

看来不是蒙的。她起身,到杂物屋抱些干柴、麻绳出来,坐回原处,然后取出布囊中没舍得吃的鸡蛋,掰一半蛋白填自己嘴里,故意等秦吉了发现她吃食物的举动后,再掐碎一点蛋黄洒在柴旁。

接下来她不管此禽,开始劈拣柴枝,用麻绳捆绑制作鸟笼。

好一会儿,秦吉了才跳到洒开的蛋黄边上挑了两嘴。

王葛余光观察到:真警觉啊。

她放开柴棍和绳,鸟笼的底已经绑出形状了,短暂犹豫,她摇下头,放弃。重回到工具凳前,拣块新的木料雕凿鸟笼模块。

秦吉了又啄一点蛋黄屑,边吞咽边打量王葛。

只凿出鸟笼形制很容易,实心的就行,用刻刀划竖线,泥巴填塞在每道竖缝里,便可形成视线上的笼栅栏错觉。

可以了。王葛把仅有半个掌心大小的假笼子蹭落地面,秦吉了一怔,随即吓飞、又飞回来:“不能吓唬我,不要进笼子。好好说话,不要进笼子。”

果然,想用笼子诱捕这只鸟不可行。

午初,邹娘子回来时,秦吉了早已飞走。

王葛把情况详说,邹娘子思忖着道:“一直以来,是有利用此禽送信的传闻,不过传闻也说了,因‘情急’才驱使此禽传递消息,因此得名‘秦吉了’。秦吉了再灵慧,终归是禽,厉害的……是驯养它的饲人。”

“饲人?”

“对。他们大多是豪室之奴,专门为主家驯兽、驯禽,被称为饲人。按你所说,这只秦吉了见木识木,会躲避笼状器物,证明驯养它的人特意教过它分辨这些。它两次找到咱们庭院,那就绝不止两次飞进过郡署。”

“我可不信自己有何特异,会吸引同只禽两次来找我。”王葛不解:“它是仅找我,还是寻找和‘木’有关的人都行?那下步呢,它的主人想做什么,能凭此禽推测出什么?”

“是啊。近期住在郡署的木匠师只有你,也只有你在庭院里制木。但这件事……算不上机密,就连惊蛰匠肆也有匠吏知道你在郡署居住。”邹娘子摇头,“一只禽就算再擅学话,又能怎样?何况你谨慎,根本没跟此禽说什么。”

王葛:“就算想杀我,一只秦吉了,如何杀?”

未正时刻。

刘清跟段勇夫回城,见人群一堆堆簇拥在城墙处,都没表现出好奇。这情况常见,要么是有新的州郡匠师比试,要么是官署雇大量佃客。

两人都没顾上吃午食呢,食肆街的好些屋门口,秦吉了在鸟笼里代替商人争相吆喝。

“炖肉。好吃,好吃不好。”

“进不进来。没钱莫进。”

“瞎看什么。说你呢。”

刘清看出来了,段勇夫十分喜爱这种禽。对方从街头笑到街尾,感叹:“哎呀,商人就是会做买卖。人骂,我生气,被鸟骂,哈哈,它骂得越凶越招人稀罕。”

“因为段兄知道秦吉了无辜,它们摹的,是主人的心思。当然,也有多嘴路人的影响。”

段勇夫使劲点头:“你念过书,说话就是不一样,我正是这样想的。”

二人同时望天,一只秦吉了从屋顶飞过。

夜半。
