The second day was still cloudy and rainy. Liang Shen and Chuyi were having fun with Tan Ling and the others. Jiang Tang couldn’t stay in the hotel, so he decided to take Xiao Mu out to buy two sets of clothes. It looked like he didn't even have a backpack full, especially the pair of shoes he was wearing, which had been opened so many times, it was pitiful just looking at them.
After asking the front desk of the hotel where to buy clothes, Jiang Tang led the people to go out.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Qianqian immediately quit after playing with Xia Luo, clamoring to go out together.
Jiang Tang was very helpless: "It's raining outside, mom will be back soon."
"No, no, I'm going too." Qianqian shook her head again and again, holding Jiang Tang's thigh with her small arms and refusing to let go.
She is used to being a rascal, and there is nothing Jiang Tang can do. Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Jiang Tang said nicely: "Brother doesn't go out, and sister Xia Luo doesn't go out either. It's not convenient for Mom to lead you two. of."
Qianqian puffed her cheeks, but refused to listen, apparently not listening to her words.
In the stalemate, Xia Huairun who heard the movement led Xia Luo out from inside.
Seeing the person coming, Qianqian's eyes lit up immediately, and she said in a soft voice, "Uncle Xia, my mother wants to go out alone, she looks so good-looking, and she is in a strange place, what if I lose her? I want to follow and take care of my mother, but she won't let me, please help me persuade me."
Hearing this, Jiang Tang couldn't laugh or cry, and couldn't help but tugged at her face, "Who do you think will lose it?"
Qianqian clung to Jiang Tang tightly, the corner of her mouth almost drooping to her chin: "You will lose it, you will lose it, adults will lose it too, you can't go alone, I won't let you go alone."
Seeing the stalking Qianqian, Xia Huairun couldn't help laughing, and said, "Luoluo also wants to go out, anyway, it's not far away, let's go together."
Jiang Tang frowned and hesitated: "But..."
Xia Huairun's brows and eyes are warm: "I'll just hug Qianqian."
Xia Luo also said: "Let Qianqian go together, teacher~"
Now that the children have begged for this, it would be too much for her not to agree.
The hotel is only one street away from the market, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there.
In the slanting wind and drizzle, the ancient town faded into obscurity. She walked on the cobbled path with an umbrella in her hand. Looking from a distance, her figure was swaying, her back was clear, and she had an air of refinement.
Jiang Tang raised her eyes and glanced into the depths of the rain and mist. She hadn't walked through this way for a long time, and now she strolled leisurely in it, feeling very peaceful in her heart.
Soon, several people arrived at a children's clothing store.
The shops in the ancient town are also decorated in an antique style, and the two lucky boy wooden figures placed at the door are exquisite and festive.
Jiang Tang pushed open the wooden door, and the octagonal wind chimes hanging on the door jingled.
"Come in, little wood."
She moved out of the way, but the little log didn't move.
Looking around at the elegant decoration and clothes of various styles and colors in the store, he couldn't help ticking his toes, his inferiority complex made him retreat, unable to move forward at all.
Jiang Tang understood Xiaomu's mood at the moment.
Because she has been through it too.
Jiang Tang's eyes flashed slightly, but she didn't point it out. She entered first, and said embarrassedly to the proprietress: "My shoes are a little dirty, and your floor is wet."
She was born beautiful, with shining eyes that made the whole shop shine brightly. The proprietress has been in the shop for so long, but she has never seen such a beautiful girl, so she hurriedly said: "It's all right, just wipe it off in a while."
Jiang Tang pursed her lips and smiled, beckoning to Xiaomu: "The proprietress said it's okay, come in quickly, Xiaomu."
Little Wood blinked, and just as he was hesitating, a warm little hand hooked his fingertips.
He couldn't help turning his head to look, Xia Luo looked natural, her slightly raised chin was like a proud princess, she led the little wood into it, let go of it at will, bounced and ran to Qian Qian's side, and went to see the other side with her. Half of the hair accessories.
After Xiaomu was stunned for a while, he slowly lowered his head.
"These outfits are pretty good-looking." Jiang Tang flipped through them casually, "Do you like Xiaomu?"
"Hi, like..."
The two words of submissiveness really make people feel distressed.
The proprietress came over to help introduce: "These clothes are very good, and the quality is also good. Look at how flexible they are."
Jiang Tang took out a suit and made gestures on Xiaomu's body, and looked up at Xia Huairun: "Is this red one better, or blue?"
Xia Huairun can't see five colors. In his view, everything in the world is black and white.
He took a look twice and shook his head: "Sorry, I can't tell the difference."
Jiang Tang was startled and said nothing.
He chuckled: "I'm color blind, so..."
Jiang Tang was very shocked. Among Xia Huairun's facial features, the most outstanding ones were those eyes. If you don't smile, you will have a three-point smile. The waves in your eyes are like water, and they are as warm as spring.
Her throat was dry and she suddenly didn't know what to say.
"… Feel sorry."
He said lightly: "There is nothing to apologize for."
Jiang Tang narrowed her eyes, picked out the crimson ones and asked the little wood to replace them, and asked the proprietress to wrap up the rest.
After changing the costume, Xiao Mu's head seemed to be a different person, and he was more energetic. She stroked his messy hair, and felt more and more fond of this child.
"Mom, can I buy the same headband as sister Xia Luo?"
Qianqian grabbed two hair ties and ran over, blinking at her.
Before Jiang Tang could speak, Qianqian hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mom, I won't let you comb your hair, you can't comb it well anyway."
Jiang Tang: "..."
"I asked my brother or Uncle Xia to braid my hair. Luoluo said that Uncle Xia's little braids look pretty."
Jiang Tang... has no face to see people.
Xia Huairun smiled lowly, pinched her face lovingly, and took the initiative to buy the same headbands for the two little girls, and Jiang Tang also paid for Xiaomu's part.
In fact, she was quite worried that Xia Huairun would help her pay, and that situation would make her very embarrassed. Now it seems that she underestimated Mr. Xia's EQ, if it were Lin Suizhou...
"Buy some shoes for Xiao Mumu, and we can go back."
The shoe store is right next door, so they don't need to bother to find it.
The town is still underdeveloped, and the styles and colors of the shoes are relatively old, but Xiaomu likes it, and his eyes have not stopped moving since entering the door.
When Xiaomu went to try on the shoes, Jiang Tang, who was tired from walking, sat on the small stool at the door.
She rested her chin on one hand and looked at Xiao Mu with a happy face, and couldn't help saying: "If no one is willing to adopt Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu will return to that village again."
Xia Huairun said casually, "Maybe."
Her long eyelashes fluttered: "Have you heard a sentence?"
"Um?"
Jiang Tang said: "I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light."
She sighed slightly: "If the show ends and the heat subsides, can Xiao Mu, who returns to the village, be as happy as he is now?"
After experiencing the beauty of children and seeing the prosperity of the city, can you continue to endure the days without TV, spraying, and "family" to accompany you? Maybe it's because she is an orphan, she can't help but feel sad for these children who lost their parents.
"Then why don't you think about it from a different angle."
Jiang Tang looked at Xia Huairun.
His pupils reflected Xiaomu's clear smile, and said softly: "It is precisely because I have seen the beauty of the light that I have to work hard to break through the darkness. If he is a tough person, even the abyss cannot imprison him; If he is weak in nature, even if he is well-clothed and well-fed, he will eventually be classified as ordinary."
Jiang Tang blinked her eyes, her tone was very serious: "I found a problem."
"Huh?" He let out a nasal voice lazily.
Jiang Tang was serious: "You have more connotations than Lin Suizhou."
Xia Huairun: "..."
Jiang Tang continued to be serious: "What do you like about him? No normal person would be friends with him."
After finishing speaking, he let out a long sigh, as if feeling sorry for Xia Huairun.
Xia Huairun's eyelids twitched fiercely, he looked away and said nothing, he originally thought that Jiang Tang would say that he knew that he would marry you, but in the end... she didn't play the cards according to the routine at all, but luckily she didn't play the cards according to the routine, Otherwise, it's not easy to explain to Lin Suizhou.
Little Wood had already changed into new shoes, and he was standing in front of the mirror, full of energy.
Looking at Xiaomu who had already changed his face, Jiang Tang checked out and left contentedly.
The rain outside the house had lightened, so she put away her umbrella and let the cold drizzle wet her shoulders.
The three children bounced and walked in front, Jiang Tang and Xia Huairun followed slowly.
Jiang Tang couldn't stand the excessive silence, she pursed her lips, carefully breaking the silence, "Are your eyes... born?"
"It's innate." He put his hands in his pockets, speaking in a steady tone, "When I was about three years old, I couldn't distinguish the concept of color, and I made a lot of jokes and others' ridicule because of it."
Jiang Tang was silent.
He looked at her with a smile: "do you sympathize with me any more?"
Jiang Tang hurriedly shook his head: "I don't, I think you are excellent and don't need sympathy. God may want you to go through some hardships and become a better person."
Xia Huairun's smile deepened, looking into the distance, clouds and mountains intertwined, he murmured inexplicably sadly: "Yes, in life, one will always experience suffering..."
Some people suffer for their future fortune, while others... live for suffering.
He is the latter.
Xia Huairun turned his eyes slightly, and put away those not-so-good memories in his mind. He looked at Jiang Tang and said softly, "There is an arched bridge over there. People in the town say that bridge is Fuqiao. As long as you walk to the center of the bridge, you will die forever." Blessings accompany you, do you want to go and have a look?"
Since he said so, there is no reason not to go.
Jiang Tang followed the route Xia Huairun said and walked inside. Qianqian saw her and hurried to follow. At this moment, Xia Huairun pulled her back and made a slight gesture to her.
Jiang Tang, who was walking in front, didn't notice that the people behind were gone long ago. She had already seen the Fuqiao that Xia Huairun was talking about. The curved stone bridge was like a half moon, hanging over the flowing river, and the trees in the river were shadowy. , the rain rippled.
The ancient town of Qingshan, with small bridges and flowing water, forms its own scenery.
She stepped onto the stone bridge and admired it quietly for a while before realizing that the surroundings were too quiet.
Jiang Tang frowned, and looked around.
Suddenly, darkness overwhelmed.
The tip of her nose was full of a man's domineering aura, her beautiful lips were pursed into a straight line, and she instantly realized that she was being played.
