Christmas

Several people rested in the room until seven o'clock in the afternoon, when they heard a crisp bell ringing outside.Xia Yao sat up from the bed, thinking that this should be a reminder to eat.

Picking up Xiao Shen to wake him up, Shi Xie also got up just in time.

After they packed up, they saw that Duan Qinghe and the others had already got down and waited below, and Xia Yao pulled Xiao Shen to sit on the chair.

"You guys came down pretty early."

"It didn't take long, and it just came down."

Duan Qinghe shook his head with a smile, and handed them the chopsticks.The proprietress just brought up the last dish and let them help themselves.

Xia Yao looked around and found a group of tourists sitting beside them.It was six young people, three men and three women. Judging from their behavior, they should be three couples.

One of the boys looked at him and nodded at him, and Xia Yao nodded in response.

Turning his head and putting Xiao Shen on the chair beside him, Xia Yao looked at the food on the table.Three meat and five vegetables, rice is enough.

Vegetarian dishes are also beans and greens grown in the vegetable garden in the village, pure natural green food.After a few simple stir-fries with vegetable oil, it is already verdant and looks very appetizing.

Three meat dishes, one of which is unique to the north, are stewed into a pot with potato vermicelli.The portion is generous and the fragrance can be smelled from afar.The other two are more delicate, a plate of fried pork, and a plate of shredded pork with pepper.

Although they are all farm dishes, they are also delicious in color, flavor and taste, which makes people's index fingers move. It is already comparable to the dishes in some big restaurants.

Several people were tired all day, and they ate a lot at night, even the little ginseng who ate two meals in one afternoon ate a lot.

Xia Yao rubbed his stomach, worried that he would eat badly.

"The scenery here at night is also very good. You can go out for a stroll. If you are lucky, you may even meet flash worms. There are also people who take the night boat. It's only eight o'clock, and our inn doesn't close until twelve o'clock."

The proprietress introduced them while clearing the plates on the table.

The few people sitting at the table thought about it, and finally expressed their decisions.

Duan Qinghe said that he was too tired, so he wanted to go back and rest.Hu Ting is casual, but Wu Meng is very interested. Park Zhenghao, who is his bodyguard, naturally follows him.

Xia Yao really wanted to see it, so he turned his head and looked at Shi Xie expectantly.Shi Xie put down his water glass and stroked his hair.

"We'll go if you want."

Xia Yao nodded excitedly, a little excited.

A few people went back to the room first and prepared some clothes. The night here is indeed a bit chilly.

It's just that some small things happened when the few people were about to set off.

Xia Yao looked at Xiao Shen helplessly, only to see that he was hugging Park Zhenghao's disciple tightly, and would not let go of him no matter what.

Because they decided to go shopping separately, Hu Ting followed Wu Meng and Park Zhenghao.Shi Xie, Xia Yao and Xiao Shen are together.But Xiao Shen seems to have an inexplicable attachment to Park Zhenghao, just like when he met Hua Rong.But Park Jung-ho is just an ordinary person.

Xia Yao pressed the center of his brows with a headache, his mouth was dry, and he had been talking to Xiao Shen for almost 10 minutes, but he just didn't listen.

Pulling hard but reluctantly, he grabbed Park Zhenghao's pants tightly, and Xia Yao was afraid of hurting his fingers.

"Little ginseng..."

"Mom, Xiao Shen wants to be with him, woo woo woo..."

Xiao Shen was so anxious that he even forgot to call Brother Xia Yao outside, his dark eyes were already filled with tears, and he looked like he was about to cry.

Seeing him like this, Xia Yao was completely at a loss. He stood up and tugged on Shi Xie's clothes to persuade Xiao Shen.

Feeling the prayer from his wife, Shi Xie knelt down and looked at Xiaocan with a blank expression.

.. "

Obviously, Xiao Shen was still very afraid of Shi Xie, and the hand holding Park Zhenghao's thigh tightened subconsciously.

"Xiao Shen, you are already six years old this year, and you can already control your behavior. Then why do you have to follow Park Zhenghao?"

As soon as Shi Xie finished asking, Xiao Shen's face showed a little doubt, but he quickly understood what Shi Xie meant.He let go of the hand holding Park Zhenghao's thigh, came to Shi Xie and whispered something in his ear.

When Xiao Shen left, Shi Xie raised his eyebrows.

"So can you take care of yourself?"

"can!"

"Okay, then you can follow."

Touching Xiao Shen's small head, Shi Xie stood up and looked at Park Zhenghao seriously.

"I'll trouble you to take care of Xiao Shen."

"It's ok."

Park Zhenghao nodded and hugged Xiaosan and put it on his neck. Xiaosan hugged his head and giggled non-stop.

Looking at the back of them leaving, Xia Yao anxiously grabbed Shi Xie's arm.

"Why did you let Xiao Shen go with them?"

Shi Xie grabbed his shoulders and walked out of the inn.

"The little participant will take care of himself."

Seeing that Shi Xie clearly didn't want to say anything, Xia Yao's head started to hurt again, and one or two were worried.

The ancient town at night seems to be covered with a layer of mysterious tulle, like a watercolor painting smudged by clear water, neither thick nor light, just so pleasant.

There are no clouds in the sky, the stars are shining brightly, and the quiet sky is as clean as if washed with water.

There is no hustle and bustle and glitz of the city here, only the calm and calm after the prosperity has been washed away.

Smelling the fresh smell in the air, with a unique taste of nature, is refreshing.

Xia Yao relaxed and leaned on the bridge railing and looked at the distant scenery. The calm and waveless river surface was like a long ribbon, radiant and extraordinary.

I felt a pair of arms around my waist slowly embrace me, feeling the familiar temperature behind me.Xia Yao relaxed and leaned on Shi Xie's body and looked at the distant scenery with him. He felt that his heart, which had been exhausted for a long time, slowly began to calm down, and he was indifferent to the world.

"I really want to live here forever."

"We'll live here when we're old."

Hearing Shi Xie's promise, Xia Yao had a smile on his face.

Although Shi Xie always looks very difficult to get along with, only Xia Yao knows that Shi Xie is actually a man who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

Occasionally a petty gesture, a gentle look, can feel his unique love.

The colder the person, the more he can melt the ice and snow and move the world when he becomes gentle.

A dim light suddenly lit up on the calm river.The lamp flickered gently, getting closer and closer.

Xia Yao probed and watched, and saw a small boat slowly breaking through the darkness and gradually revealing its head.An old man in coir raincoat was holding a long pole, which created ripples on the river.

The boat moored to the shore, and the old man tied the rope to the stake on the shore, and now the bow of the boat was looking towards Xia Yao and the others.

"Stranger, take a boat?"

The old man's voice was a little strange, probably a dialect unique to this place.But Xia Yao probably understood quite well, looking at the boat behind him, he was a little eager to try.

"How long can you sit, old man?"

"Walk around the bitter river."

The old man pointed to the entire river surface and circled it in a big circle.Xia Yao nodded and took Shi Xie's hand and walked down the bridge, negotiated the price with the old man and boarded the boat.

"Sailing a mile

The old man took off the rope from the stake, and with a push on the pole, the boat slowly rowed out.

Xia Yao stretched his hands into the water curiously, his palms were immersed in the cold river water, and his mind cleared up a lot.

Standing side by side with Shi Xie, Xia Yao looked up at the sky, peaceful and peaceful.

The boat glides away from the town gradually, a bright blue light flickering on the dark water.

The boat slowly rowed towards the bright light, and when it got close to Xia Yao, it turned out to be a large group of glowing bugs, which should be the flash bugs that the proprietress said.

The boat invaded among the flash worms, and saw that they did not panic and disperse because of their arrival, but began to circle around the two of them curiously.

Xia Yao stretched out his hand in amazement and lightly touched the flash worm in front of him, only to see it slightly moved its transparent wings, the light on its tail was flickering, and it rubbed against Xia Yao's cheek affectionately like a spiritual being. finger.

The boat broke through the swarm of flash worms, and Xia Yao found that his fingers and clothes were covered with some shiny powder, probably from the flash worms just now.

Scrape off the powder and bounce it into the water, only to see that the powder did not sink, but all floated on the surface of the water, and slowly disappeared into the night with the water flow.

After Xia Yao and Shi Xie went back after playing to the fullest, as soon as they entered the inn, they saw Park Zhenghao sitting on a chair in the center of the hall with Xiao Shen in his arms.

Xiao Shen looked sleepy, leaning against Park Zhenghao, his face was pale.

Xia Yao saw that Xiao Shen didn't care about reminiscence, so he walked quickly to them.When Xiao Shen saw him stretch out his hand softly, it made Xia Yao feel bad.

"He vomited while on the road, and he vomited up all the medicine he was given, and only drank a little water."

Park Zhenghao stood up and explained to Xia Yao, his thick black eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked nervous.

"It may be that the climate is not acclimatized, and I ate a lot today. I have caused you trouble today."

Holding Xiao Shen in his arms, Xia Yao was worried though.But I also understand that this is not the fault of Park Zhenghao and the others, and it is also their lack of care.

"Sorry, I won't be feeding him anymore."

After apologizing to Xia Yao sternly, the muscles on Park Zhenghao's face relaxed a little.

"It doesn't matter. It's so late, you should go to rest first, Xiao Shen will be fine after sleeping."

Pu Zhenghao nodded, looked at Xiao Shen with a serious face, and turned to leave.

Watching him go up to the second floor, Xia Yao sat on a chair with Xiao Shen in his arms and touched his forehead. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever.

"mother

Ginseng hugged Xia Yao's neck softly and coquettishly, and Shi Xie also sat beside him and looked at him worriedly.

At this moment, a child's voice came from the side, Xia Yao and Shi Xie turned their heads to look over.I saw a little boy in a black short jacket standing behind them, holding a medicine box in his hand.

"This is the medicine my mother gave you."
