"Well, today I was chatting with your sister-in-law about Tangtang. My parents happened to be nearby and accidentally overheard. They wanted to see the child," Brother Tang said with a cautious tone.
Tang Xuan didn't think much about it: "Okay, I will take the child back on the weekend."
Today is Thursday and tomorrow is Friday, there is a very important meeting.
Brother Tang breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll tell my parents."
The next day, Tang Xuan went out to work.
Tangtang thought about the beautiful koi she saw yesterday and waved her little hand to send Tang Xuan out to work. After she took Dahei Da Da, she ran out of the villa and ran to the lake. The maid who was responsible for taking care of her quickly followed. .
The early morning sunlight fell on the earth, giving the entire earth a dazzling sheen.
The sparrows on the tree were chirping non-stop. Before Tangtang approached the lake to feed the fish, she heard the familiar sound of the erhu from the other side of the lake.
Tangtang, who originally planned to feed the fish, was suddenly attracted by the leisurely sound of the erhu. She immediately turned a corner and ran in the direction of the sound of the erhu.
The maid following her: "???Miss Tangtang?"
Dahei caught up with the little milk bag who suddenly ran away: "Where are you going?"
"I've heard this piece of music before," the little girl's eyes sparkled, "Big brother often plays this piece of music~"
It's Senior Brother, he's nearby.
"No..." Dahei wanted to say something to her, but the sound of the erhu got closer and closer, and the little girl sped up.
The environment of the community is very good. Lotus trees are planted in the lake and willow trees are planted on the shore. The morning breeze in summer is slightly cool. The lotus blooming in the lake brings a faint floral fragrance, and the willow branches sway with the breeze.
It's great that the senior brother is nearby. He is fine. If he is fine, Master and the others must be fine too.
Tangtang ran very fast, getting closer and closer to the sound of the erhu. The man holding the erhu was sitting in a corner pavilion by the lake. He was dressed in blue-grey clothes, with his back to Tangtang, and the lush branches covered his upper body.
Tangtang looked at the figure with his back to her and shouted happily: "Elder brother!"
The crisp and loud sound was particularly conspicuous, and the old people who were listening to the sound of their old friend's erhu looked sideways.
Tangtang also ran to the pavilion. She saw the scene in front of her clearly. A group of old people were sitting on benches, holding various musical instruments such as erhu, pipa, Xiao, flute...
The person playing the erhu was an old woman in her seventies. She was dressed in blue-grey practice clothes and had silver hair. She looked calm and elegant. She looked surprised when she saw the small breasts that suddenly came in. , the action of playing the erhu stopped.
Tangtang stared blankly at the old ladies in front of her, no, not the senior brother? !
"Little sister, what's wrong with you? Are you lost?" the old lady asked in a gentle and kind tone.
Tangtang came to her senses in a daze, looked at the old ladies in front of her and shook her head: "I, I'm not lost, I just recognized the wrong person."
At the end of the conversation, Tangtang sniffed. She thought it was her senior brother, but it turned out not to be the case.
"I'm sorry to bother you," Tangtang said, blinking her sour eyes.
Several elderly people looked at each other, and the leading grandmother asked: "Why are you alone? Where are your parents?"
"I'm not alone. Dahei and Sister Chen came with me to feed the fish... huh?" After Tangtang said this, she realized something and looked back at the way she came. Where were Dahei and the maid sister?
"Miss Tangtang," at this moment, a maid in maid uniform appeared in front of Tangtang, holding a wet white cat in her hand.
The maid had been chasing after Tangtang, but halfway through, the white cat raised by her lady jumped onto the guardrail, failed to stand still, and fell into the water with a plop.
maid:! ! !
She didn't think much, looked at the little lady with short legs, quickly rolled up her sleeves, tied up the hem of her skirt, climbed over the guardrail, grabbed the back of the neck of the struggling cat in the water, and fished it out.
After catching the cat, the maid quickly caught up with Tangtang, adjusting her sleeves and skirt while chasing.
"Dahei?!" Tangtang was startled and ran to the maid, "What's wrong with you?"
Even though Dahei was wet all over and even though someone was grabbing at the scruff of his neck, he still raised his chin arrogantly and said: "It's nothing. I saw that the water in the lake is cool and I want to go in and swim for a while."
I couldn't tell the little girl that I thought I couldn't catch up with her, so I wanted to take a shortcut through the guardrail, but I couldn't stand firm on the guardrail and fell into the water.
You must not tell her, it would be too embarrassing for the mythical beast.
The maid felt that Dahei's meow was a bit pitiful, so she explained: "Mr. Dahei accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the lake."
Tangtang blinked and met Dahei's golden cat eyes. She was a little hesitant: "Step on the air..."
"I don't, don't listen to this human woman's nonsense!" Dahei, who wanted to save face, quickly interrupted her.
Four claws were waving randomly in mid-air.
"Okay, okay, I won't listen, I won't listen," Tangtang reluctantly comforted Dahei.
Dahei: "Really?"
"Well, really," Tangtang touched Dahei's wet head and asked, "Are you injured?"
"Hmph, I am a mythical beast, how could I be injured? I was just going for a swim in the lake," Dahei said, struggling, "Hurry up and ask this person to let me go."
Seeing it struggling, the maid let go at the right time. Dahei's four paws landed firmly on the ground and quickly shook the water on its body.
For a moment, water splashed everywhere, and Tangtang and the maid were both splashed with a lot of water.
Upon seeing this, the maid took out a handkerchief and said, "Miss Tangtang, your face is dirty, let me wipe it for you."
Tangtang reached out and wiped it casually, and smiled at her: "Don't bother me."
The maid paused in her movements, regret flashed in her eyes, and put away the handkerchief. What a pity, Miss Tangtang's face looked soft and must be easy to touch.
Dahei shook off the water on his body, jumped to the big rock next to him, licked his paws, looked at the old ladies in the pavilion and asked, "Didn't you say you were looking for your senior brother?"
"It's not senior brother," Tangtang was a little embarrassed when she mentioned this erhu song. Senior brother often sat under the big tree in front of the Taoist temple and played it. Tangtang was very familiar with it, and she really thought it was senior brother.
"The adults at home can just come over here," the old lady playing the erhu came over at some point and said with a smile.
The maid said: "My little lady has disturbed you all."
"No need to bother, we haven't started yet," the old lady reminded the maid with a smile, "but children should be careful, this is close to the lake."
"Okay, I'll pay attention next time."
The old lady looked at Tangtang again and warned softly: "Don't run too fast next time. You have to wait for the adults."
"Yeah," Tangtang nodded.
The old lady didn't say anything more. She sat back in her seat and continued to play the unfinished song.
The long erhu sound sounded and gradually drifted away.
Dahei, who was licking his paws, paused and turned to look at the old lady sitting among a group of old people. Her golden cat eyes showed a hint of contemplation.
