The first day of the new year, the second day of the new year, and the third day of the new year.
During the first three days of the Chinese New Year in the Year of the Tiger, Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu lingered in the city, visiting the garden during the day to enjoy the plum blossoms, and going to the lantern festival at night. Sometimes it was just the two of them, and sometimes they went with the elders. With little Kedou around, it will be ten times more lively and festive.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Jun, Wu and Li's family went to a nearby ancient town again.
This is an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River with small bridges and flowing water. The classical houses and bluestone streets are decorated with the atmosphere of the Spring Festival. Red lanterns are hung everywhere, and there are many tourists. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the lion dance team dances around in the entrance square. It's really majestic.
Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu mainly took the little Kedou to play everywhere, and each ate a piece of candied haws, which was really too sweet to choke.
"Brother Xianjun, I found someone following us." Xiao Kedou suddenly said mysteriously, she was wearing a red padded jacket embroidered with the word "blessing".
Gu Jun was startled, and his nerves suddenly tightened after relaxing for a few days, "What?"
Wu Shiyu heard it too, and immediately looked around. There was a small stone arch bridge across the river in front, and the street was crowded with people in the back. Everyone was wearing New Year's clothes, some were taking pictures, some couples were playing, and some were holding their children up for them to see clearly. point view...
"There." Xiao Kedou pointed to a place behind, "Those people in gray clothes, they have been following us, I saw them yesterday."
Gray clothes? Gu Jun looked back, and after confirming with Xiao Kedou again and again, he suddenly laughed, it was Captain Gao and the others from the VIP protection team.
When the two of them came to play in such a crowded place, Captain Gao and the others did some reconnaissance and protection work around them, which was really hard work.
"Those people are friends of your sister Shiyu and I." Gu Jun said with a smile, "We came to play together, but they play theirs and we play ours."
He looked at Wu Shiyu with admiring eyes, your little cousin is really smart, for a child who is only 5 years old, this observation ability is really good enough. After getting along with each other for the past few days, he is sure that Little Kedou is not only not a bear at all, but also quite likable.
Wu Shiyu tilted his head slightly, just watch.
"Why?" Little Kedou asked, blinking his big eyes, "Can I get to know them? I want to be friends with them too."
"You are a red envelope from a glutton." Wu Shiyu ruthlessly exposed it. Little Kedou laughed and did not refute, and bowed his hands everywhere, "Happy Chinese New Year!"
The two walked back with Xiao Kedou, stopped Captain Gao and the others, and introduced Xiao Kedou to everyone. Captain Gao and the others were not prepared for this, and they didn't bring red envelopes with them, so they had to pay them directly, or Gu Jun quietly gave them some red envelopes, and then they gave Xiao Kedou pies.
Afterwards, the three of them continued to play in front, and Xiao Kedou asked, "Where are your other friends? They also followed us yesterday."
Hearing these words, Gu Jun felt a little uneasy again, so he took her to meet the protection personnel in front.
Although children don't know much, they often have extremely high psychic awareness, and they have some perceptual talents that adults have lost.
Could Xiao Kedou see something... something they didn't notice
After meeting with the guards, Wu Shiyu asked, "Kedou, is there anyone following? Think about it carefully, and if you answer correctly, I will give you a big red envelope."
"Uh..." Xiao Kedou wrinkled his face, tapped his head, and thought a lot, "It seems, it seems that there is nothing..."
"It can't be like that." Wu Shiyu continued to induce earnestly, "It's not just people, if there are cats, cats, dogs, and other things following, that's fine too."
"Does everything count?" Xiao Kedou rolled up his big eyes and looked around, "Then let me think about it again. If the answer is correct, I will add another bunch of candied haws."
"I'll give it to you if the answer is correct." Wu Shiyu shook the string in his hand, and Xiao Kedou shouted, "If you haven't eaten it before."
At the same time, Gu Jun looked around. A middle-aged man looked at him from far away on the street. His heart was slightly cold, but the man's eyes quickly moved away. Maybe he was looking at Wu Shiyu looking at the beautiful woman, or maybe he was looking at the beautiful woman at all. Not looking at them.
On the other side of the stone arch bridge, there was also someone watching, with a smile on his face, which seemed a bit weird and false to him. But immediately he found out that they were taking pictures, and the person taking the picture with a mobile phone was in front, so it seemed to be looking at this side.
Has heightened alertness occurred, he suddenly felt in danger...
"Okay, I'll buy you two bunches." Wu Shiyu bit a candied haws and chewed, "The sweetness will knock your teeth down. It's a loss if you don't eat more sweets before you change your teeth."
"I've made up my mind! There is nothing else." Little Kedou raised his hand and replied, "The shadow follows us."
"What do you mean by shadow?" Gu Jun still asked in detail, and he was sure that Xiao Kedou was just talking about a brain teaser, and he was really referring to the shadow.
But shadows... are they really just shadows...
"Let's go to buy candy." Wu Shiyu took Xiao Kedou's hand, fulfilled his promise and went back to find the old man Bingtanghulu to buy candy.
shadow? shadow? Gu Jun frowned and thought about it. When he lost his mind, he realized that Wu Shiyu and Xiao Kedou had disappeared, and his heart suddenly tightened.
"Xianyu?" He turned around and looked around, but saw the two people, one big and one young, walking back, he quickly chased after them, he was relieved to see that they were all right. But he still couldn't be relieved, and asked Xiao Kedou again and again about it. Wu Shiyu also helped to ask, is there anything strange about the shadow
Little Kedou was confused by their questions, isn't a shadow just a shadow
The two asked this question again before giving up and continuing to play in this ancient town. From the morning to the afternoon, and then to the evening, I gradually let go of this matter, and just asked Captain Gao and the others to pay more attention. In the evening, they rejoined the parents again for dinner at a nearby inn.
They made a reservation for a private room facing the river. After the two families went in, they sat down at the dining table. The waiter handed them tea, and Wu Shiyu and Gu Jun took the menu to order.
"Hee hee, a lot of red envelopes..." Xiao Kedou quietly ran to the balcony of the private room, left the parents, and counted the harvest in his hands.
Because the balcony has fully sealed glass windows, you can see the river view, but it is safe enough, so the parents don't care about her, this child is used to jumping.
One red envelope, two red envelopes, three red envelopes... Xiao Kedou has red envelopes all over his hands. You can buy a lot of toys here. Mom said to save it for her, but she still wanted to buy it all for toys and new clothes.
At this time, Xiao Kedou noticed something with his eyes. There was a figure standing on the opposite bank of the river. People were coming and going, and the figure was looking at this side.
It was a member of the lion dance team, wearing a mask of a smiling Buddha and holding a fan in his hand, smiling at her, and Xiao Kedou couldn't help but smile too.
