Their destination is the East Outer Street of Tianxing City. Strictly speaking, it has already left the gate of Tianxing City, and is directly adjacent to the Endless River flowing outside Tianxing City. It is the most lively place.

Langling has always been in the habit of inquiring about information, and she had sent people to inquire about all kinds of delicious and interesting things, so she brought cocklebur here.

The movement of Xialang Mountain Villa last night really did not have any impact on the people at the foot of the mountain. At most, they added a little bit of conversation after their tea and dinner. When Langling and Xan'er were passing by in the carriage, they could hear someone sighing on the side of the road. Discuss a few words.

That's all.

When they arrived at Dongwai Street, there were already a lot of people there. There was a din of people, shoulder to shoulder, and the carriage couldn't drive in at all.Xanthium had never been so close to the world of fireworks without a mission, let alone merged into the hustle and bustle. It was inevitable that I was a little panicked, but I just pretended to be calm, and even Langling didn't notice anything. , took his hand naturally: "There are many people here, please hold me well, don't get lost."

Cocklebur nodded.

Lang Ling then protected him to get out of the carriage, after all she still remembered that he didn't like to be in contact with others, so she protected him with one hand, blocking the crowd from him intentionally or unintentionally.

After walking for a while, Langling saw that Xan'er was still walking along his path in a daze, so she took the initiative to ask: "Do you feel like, is there anywhere you want to go?"

The cocklebur was protected by Lang Ling, so it was a little less flustered. Hearing this, the wings of his nose moved slightly, and when he smelled it, he turned his head away.

Probably because the cocklebur was so cute, Lang Ling couldn't help laughing.He smiled and pulled the cocklebur to that direction, and said as he walked, "There is a famous pastry shop over there, do you want to eat it?"

After being silent for a long time, Xanthium tentatively revealed a little bit of himself: "Think."

"Then go buy it." Lang Ling intertwined her fingers with cocklebur in a calm manner, "I didn't realize that you love these little things so much before, I was careless, and I will prepare them for you next time."

He paused, put his palms around the waist of the cocklebur, sighed, and changed his words: "...forget it, I will buy some today, you should eat less of this kind of food, and when your body is healthy, you want to eat it." whatever."

Xanthium silently let him lead him there.

When he was about to reach the place, Langling glanced over there from a distance, lowered his head slightly, and said to Xanthium in a low voice: "There are quite a lot of people over there, and you may need to queue up. Are you still used to it? How about I go?" Buy, are you waiting for me here?"

Xanthium wanted to say no, but suddenly, severe pain gripped all his mind.

...! ! !

His eyes...! ! !

...Why at this time?

The blood on the cocklebur's face faded away in an instant.He resisted the urge to reach out and cover his eyes, and said sullenly, "I'll wait for you."

Langling's line of sight was blocked by the hood, so she didn't notice the sudden paleness of Xan'er's face, but felt that the wrist she held in her hand trembled a little.He thought that Xanthium was instinctively rejecting places with a lot of people, or worried that he would be left behind, so he took him to a corner with fewer people, and comforted him: "I will come back as soon as possible, don't be careless." move around."

As he said that, he was about to pull his hand out of Xan'er's hand, but it might as well that Xan'er didn't let go in time, instead he restrained his hand, and then let it go quickly.

Xanthium seldom does this, so he was a little stunned: "What's wrong?"

Xanthium shook his head lightly, and repeated: "I'll wait for you."

Lang Ling only thought that he had the symptoms of feeling insecure anytime and anywhere again, so she glanced at him worriedly, but was gently pushed by him.

This means letting him go.

If it weren't for this, Lang Ling couldn't help but want to ask the dark guard to queue up to buy pastries, and he would stay here with Xanthium.

But when it comes to Xanthium, he still wants to do it himself, so after confirming that Xanthium is fine and will not take the opportunity to escape, he honestly queued up.

It wasn't until Langling walked away that Xanth slowly covered his eyes with his hands, and let out a restrained smack.

The pain when the vision recovered was several times stronger than when it disappeared. He trembled slightly from the pain. After suffering for a long time, the pain gradually subsided, and some fragments of light gradually entered his vision.

He put down his hand and opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the white gauze floating on the veiled hat.He froze for a moment, stretched out his hand to take off the veil, raised his head slightly, and looked forward.

It was the most ordinary human fireworks that he had never seen before.

Colorful lanterns and silks and satins are hung all over the street, celebrating joyously, and the crowds come and go with joyful expressions on their faces.The skinnier children are chasing and playing, and the candied haws seller is smiling and handing the candied haws to a mother holding a child. Farther away, the team of dancing dragons and lions to worship the God of Spring is beating drums and gongs, bustling through Overcrowded.

Only he stood in the corner blankly, at a loss.

Many times Xanthium felt that his existence seemed to spoil the atmosphere in such a bustle, because everyone was smiling happily, and only he was expressionless and gloomy.

Especially now he felt so.

Xanthium lowered his head slightly, even though he was standing a bit to the side, he was still squeezed by the endless stream of people.No one cared about his embarrassment, but he slowly began to shrink back, and moved silently to the corner where no one was paying attention.

After finally pushing through the crowd, he stood silently for a while in that unnoticed corner, and then felt deeply tired.

He squatted down slowly, with his chin resting on his knees, his eyes only staring at the walking legs and feet in front of him, involuntarily revealing a bit of sadness and loneliness like being abandoned.

In the joyful atmosphere of the street, so out of place.

When Langling came back with a pack of pastries, she didn't see the cocklebur in the original place.For a moment, he thought that the man had escaped again, until when he looked around, he saw the cocklebur curled up in a small ball in the corner of the wall.

For a moment, he didn't care about the cakes he bought after queuing for a long time. He hurried through the crowd, squatted down in front of Xanthium, and stretched out his hand tentatively: "Xanthium?"

Hearing the voice, a pair of clear eyes suddenly appeared in front of him.The pair of dark eyes only raised a little from the knees, looking at him quietly, with emotions that no one could understand.After a while, the man's pupils slid sideways, his eyes fell on his outstretched hand, he slowly tilted his head, and when his cheek was pressed against the warm palm, he closed his eyes and rubbed against it gently. .

Langling didn't move his hand away, he somehow felt that the cocklebur now needs some comfort.

It doesn't need a lot, just put your hand there and let him rub it is enough.

After all, this is a person who never thinks he is pitiful, and never needs others to be pitiful.

Langling paid more attention to the eyes of cocklebur.He let Xanthium's cold cheek rest against his palm for a while, and asked softly, "Can you see it now?"

Xanthium slightly opened his eyes, and gave a low "hmm".

"Did you feel uncomfortable just now?" Lang Ling put the pastry by his feet and straightened his messy hair after taking off the veil, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Xanthium was reluctant to leave the warmth of his palm, so he said sullenly: "It's not uncomfortable, no need."

Lang Ling glanced at him calmly, then suddenly stood up with the pastry in hand, and handed him the other hand: "Follow me."

Cang'er was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Langling, but put his hand on it after all, and was pulled up by Langling.

Lang Ling took Xan'er and turned into an inconspicuous alley, and from there she used lightness kung fu to jump onto the roof.Xanthium followed closely behind, following Lang Ling and leaping across the street on the roofs with different heights.

After walking for a while, Cang'er suddenly found that Lang Ling was consciously leading him towards the turret on the east wall.When she got to the foot of the city wall, Lang Ling jumped with all her strength, stepped on the city wall almost vertically, flew upwards like walking on flat ground, quickly turned over the city wall, and then lightly jumped up to the sloping top of the turret.

He knew that cocklebur's lightness kung fu was excellent, so he wasn't worried.Sure enough, after a while, another black shadow jumped up, and landed right beside him with his clothes fluttering.

Langling chose a place to sit, waved to Cang'er, and said with a smile, "I can go up to the city wall today, I'm afraid I'll be shot down by random arrows at other times. Come, sit here."

Cang Er obeyed and walked to him and sat down, looking at Lang Ling puzzled.

Seeing the doubt in Cang'er's eyes, Lang Ling unpacked the tightly packaged pastry, and handed a piece to his mouth: "Don't worry, eat a piece of pastry first, the Master of Tingfeng Pavilion has personally lined up for you for a long time Woolen cloth."

Cocklebur obediently took his hand and bit the piece of pastry.

At this moment, there was a "swoosh" piercing sound from a distant place.Before the cocklebur had time to bite, it looked back vigilantly with the piece of pastry in its mouth, and was just so stunned.

Huge and bright flowing fire exploded in the dark sky beside the river bank, and those bright golden, bright purple, and bright red lights fluttered wantonly in the air for a while, and then there will be more brilliant colors to take over from them.All the colors are unscrupulously released in the air, like autumn chrysanthemums, like tassels, like fiery trees and silver flowers that reach up to the sky.

Cocklebur has seen ugly Gu worms, deserted wilderness, picturesque mountains and rivers, criss-crossed cups and cups, sweet smiles, magnificence...

But he has never seen the flourishing fireworks.

Lang Ling looked down, only to see the gorgeous fireworks all over the city reflected in those black and bright eyes, as if the reflection of the palace in the sky falling into the mortal world, gorgeous and lonely.

There was a slight pain in his heart, and he stretched out his hand to embrace him, and put his hand under the piece of pastry.Cocklebur unconsciously let go, and the piece of pastry fell into Lang Ling's hand, and he sat there, staring at the sky intently.

Xanthium watched for a long, long time until the first round of fireworks was over and the sky became silent again. He was still looking at the night and the lights of thousands of families under the night.

"Does it look good?" Lang Ling asked softly.

Disturbed by the sound, Xanthium turned her head to look at him quickly, lowered her eyes again, and responded in a low voice: "...um."

Lang Ling smiled.He rested his chin on the neck of the cocklebur, and said slowly: "Do you know, Cocklebur, today is my birthday."

The cocklebur's expression was surprised for a moment.

He didn't know that today was such a special day for Lang Ling.

He knew that he should say some auspicious words to the birthday star on this day, but he racked his brains, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Long live a hundred years."

Lang Ling couldn't help laughing: "I accept your good words."

He hugged him a little tighter, and said softly, "However, I brought you out to make you happy."

Although it's my birthday, I want you to be happy.
