Chapter 323 Strange Woman



The two were about to go out after dinner, but were stopped by Jiang Shanhe.

"Wait until you have eaten enough before you go, or you'll catch a cold."

"It's okay. No, I can't do that. Let's wait a while."

Xiaoguo suddenly thought that he was fine, but Xiaozhu was still a child. Her body was definitely not as strong as an adult's. Besides, she ate a lot, and it would be bad if she caught a cold when she went out.

Xiaozhu obediently sat on the stool, waiting to digest her food.

After a while, before Jiang Shanhe left, he warned the two people to stay for a while before leaving.

Xiaoguo and Xiaozhu nodded in agreement, but as soon as he turned around and walked out, the two of them were fully armed, wearing straw raincoats and hats and ran out.

"Sister Xiaoguo, do you really not need to change your clothes?"

Xiaozhu looked at the clothes she was wearing with some regret. The fabric looked not cheap at first glance.

"It's okay, I won't change it."

Xiaoguo was in a hurry to go to the beach, so she didn't have time to change. Mainly because of all the clothes she brought, the one she was wearing was the simplest and cheapest.

After hearing this, Xiaozhu gave up trying to dissuade them and took Xiaoguo to the beach.

It turns out that the small fishing village is next to the sea, but the village and the seaside are separated. Xiaozhu's family lives on the edge of the village. After going out, passing a few small roads and a few houses, she arrived at the seaside. Her attic can see the sea because she lives high up. There are only one or two families in the village who have two-story houses, and the rest of the families live in large bungalows.

The moment he stepped onto the beach, Xiaoguo felt the change in the texture of his feet.

It was drizzling, and the rising mist blocked our view, but it also added an invisible layer of hazy beauty to the sea.

Xiaozhu led her towards the place where seaweeds gathered in a familiar manner.

Xiaoguo followed her closely, carefully feeling the sand under her feet. Although the sand had become a little solidified due to the rain, it still did not prevent her from feeling the unique touch of the sand.

The sea was covered with ripples from the rain, which appeared densely on the surface of the sea. Because of the heavy rain last night, a lot of seafood and seaweed were stranded on the beach due to the low tide.

Xiaoguo's first reaction when he saw them was to collect them, but he didn't have a basket around his waist, and he really regretted it.

Although it was raining, it did not stop the villagers from going to the sea. Many people around were wearing straw raincoats and hats, bending over to pick up the gifts from the sea.

Xiaoguo's expressionless face concealed her excited heart. She regretted so much, why didn't she take the basket~

"Sister Xiaoguo? Look!"

Seeing that she was in a daze, Xiaozhu thought she was looking for seaweed, so she lowered her head and looked around quickly, then handed a large piece of seaweed to her and said happily.

This time, she succeeded in breaking Xiaoguo's plan, so she couldn't bear it any longer, "Xiaozhu, go home and get a basket, I'll pick it up here, hurry up, or someone will pick it up soon!"

"Ah? Oh oh!"

Xiaozhu responded a few times in a daze, then dropped the seaweed and ran back to get the basket. Along the way, she couldn't figure out why Sister Xiaoguo suddenly became so excited, didn't she say she just wanted to take a look?

Xiaoguo picked up the seaweed she had thrown away like a baby, "This kid~"

How could it be thrown away just like that? It was almost washed away by the water.

At this moment, she no longer cared whether her shoes would get wet. She rolled up her skirt and stepped into the water with her shoes on. The temperature dropped after the rain, and the sea water was really cold. When she stepped in suddenly, she almost suffocated because of the cold.

"Let's fight!"

Xiaoguo was dazzled by the seafood all over the ground. She bent over and soon her hands were full. Seeing other people slowly approaching her, she became anxious. Then she looked around helplessly. Xiaozhu hadn't appeared yet. In order to pick up more seafood, she could only lift up a layer of skirt to hold it, regardless of her image, and a simple basket was formed.

Fortunately, she was still wearing clothes so she wasn't exposed. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that she was holding a skirt in her hand. You would have thought she was wrapping something in a piece of cloth.

Just when Xiao Guoshi was having fun, Xiao Zhu Shanshan arrived late, followed by a handsome man.

“…”

The smile on Xiaoguo's face suddenly disappeared the moment she saw the man, and she secretly glanced at Xiaozhu who was standing beside her with a guilty look on her face.

"Sister Xiaoguo, the basket is here..." Xiaozhu said pitifully. She didn't say the rest of the sentence. The basket was here, but Brother Jiang was here too.

Xiaoguo quietly took the basket and carefully shook the seafood from her clothes into the basket. Then she mustered up the courage to look at Jiang Shanhe's face, which couldn't be any darker.

"I..."

"Are you satisfied with the picking?"

Jiang Shanhe interrupted Xiaoguo's explanation.

"It's okay." Xiaoguo swallowed and told the truth, she wanted to continue picking up.

"..." Jiang Shanhe took a deep breath, and then said to Xiaozhu softly, "You go back first. I'll take your sister Xiaoguo back to make ginger soup for you later."

As soon as he said this, Xiao Guo realized that Xiao Zhu was not feeling well, and immediately asked worriedly, "Xiao Zhu, are you okay?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I just ran fast and went in to cool off."

Xiaozhu shyly shook her head to indicate that it was not a big deal. It really felt good to have someone care about her.

Xiao Guo was relieved when she heard that she was fine. "Go home quickly. I'll find some ginger for you. Go home and get into bed quickly. Got it? We'll be back soon."

Xiaozhu listened to her words in a daze, and unknowingly she obeyed and went home obediently. She even lay down in the quilt, and she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart. She really liked Sister Xiaoguo.

On the other side, Xiaoguo patted his wet clothes and was anxious to walk to the land.

"Have you picked up enough?"

Jiang Shanhe took the basket from her hand, took a look at it, and found that the performance was quite impressive. She had managed to get a lot without any tools.

"That's it. Let's go back and make some ginger soup for Xiaozhu."

Before Xiaoguo could finish her words, she was carried on Jiang Shanhe's back and lay steadily on his back. She came to her senses only when he took off her shoes and held her numb feet in his hands.

He moved his feet awkwardly, it would be bad if someone saw it, Xiao Guo blushed and looked at the people around him, although the two of them didn't move much, it was enough to attract one or two people's attention. The people who were attracted were whispering something, Xiao Guo saw it, and wanted to fight even more.

"Don't move, it will get louder soon."

As soon as Jiang Danhe said this, Xiaoguo immediately became obedient, clinging to his back like a quail, hiding his face in his neck.

Jiang Shanhe glanced at her secretly and was amused by her cute behavior. He held back his laughter and said seriously, "Look at your feet, they are so cold. Aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

Xiao Guo originally wanted to say that she was not afraid. She had the ability to heal, so why should she be afraid? But when she saw his worried face, her heart softened and she said one word in a weak voice, "...afraid..."

"It's okay as long as you know you're afraid!" Jiang Shanhe said with a hard mouth but a soft heart. He held her feet tightly and didn't let go. Although the back of his hand had been blown red by the wind, the temperature in his palm was still as hot, which was transmitted through his palm to Xiaoguo's feet.

Xiaoguo hugged his neck securely, and pressed tightly against his back, her heart unable to help but feel little pink flowers blooming.

After the two left, a girl not far from the beach took off her hat, revealing her tearful eyes. She looked at the two people going away with a charming look. The sadness in her heart turned into tears flowing down, making it difficult to tell whether the water on her face was tears or rain.

She didn't look away until the figure disappeared. The man's back lingered in her mind, "How great it would be if the woman on his back was me..."

The girl murmured to herself.
