Chapter 21: The Stars Under Your Eyes
As the only big city within a radius of 100 miles, the houses in Fenglin City are certainly not cheap.
Ling He's funding is a drop in the bucket, and Jiang Wang has no savings of his own. But fortunately, there is still a master who is not bad for money.
Jiang Wang hugged Jiang Anan and went straight to Zhao Rucheng.
"Give me some silver. Jiang Wang got straight to the point.
Zhao Rucheng and Jiang Anan stared at each other, and said casually: "How much?"
"How much silver taels does it cost to buy a small courtyard near the Taoist Temple? I live with my sister. ”
"What kind of yard do you buy, can't you just live with me? I have a lot of empty rooms here. Zhao Rucheng would blink his left eye at Jiang An'an, and then blink his right eye for a while, and from time to time he would show a smile that he thought was handsome. Of course, his appearance is indeed handsome.
Jiang Wang glanced at Jiang An'an before saying, "We have to have a home of our own." ”
It doesn't matter where he lives, but Xiao An'an is different. The little girl has just been sent over, and no matter how strong she behaves, her heart is inevitably fragile and sensitive.
"Oh. Zhao Rucheng touched his chin and thought about it, "My family seems to have a few houses near the Taoist courtyard, you wait for me to ask." ”
He turned his head and shouted, "Uncle Deng!"
After a while, a middle-aged man with a gentle temperament walked in and bowed meticulously, "Childe." ”
"Do we have a suitable house near the Daoyuan? ”
The housekeeper who was called Uncle Deng replied: "There is no need to go out of your way to vacate it, there are three places that are still empty now." I don't know where you want?"
Zhao Rucheng looked at Jiang Wang again, "Third brother, what do you think?"
Jiang Wang smiled gently at the housekeeper, "Trouble Uncle Deng, the house doesn't need to be too big, just me and An An can live with two people." The most important thing is that it is close to the Taoist temple, so that I can go home to accompany her at any time. ”
The housekeeper also smiled, "There is a small courtyard in Pegasus Alley behind the courtyard, but I don't know if the layout is to your liking." ”
"Let's take a look!" Zhao Rucheng said immediately, "You give me the key." ”
Although Jiang Anan doesn't like to talk, he doesn't care much about people. But that little face carved in pink is naturally likable.
Along the way, Zhao Rucheng kept teasing her.
"An An, who do you think is more handsome, Brother Ru Cheng or Brother Wang? Alas, I asked a question that is not valid, how can it be compared?"
"An An, An An, do you see the sugar gourd over there, come to my arms, let's buy a whole bundle!
"An An, do you know that you are very heavy? Look at your fat! Your brother's hands are about to be crushed! Why don't you let your brother Rucheng hug?"
Xiao An'an has been silent to Qiansheng, until he heard this, he tilted his head and glanced at Jiang Wang.
"Are you tired?" she whispered.
Jiang Wangwen smiled, "I'm not tired at all." I can hold on until next year and never let go. ”
The small courtyard in Pegasus Lane is quite good, with a main room, a south room, and two wings in the east and west. Although there is no one to live, it has all the facilities, and you only need to buy some daily necessities to move in time.
The decoration of the room is also very elegant and comfortable.
Jiang Wang led Xiao An'an around each room, making sure she didn't show resistance.
"Okay, that's it. Jiang Wang smiled brightly at Zhao Rucheng, who was chattering around Xiao An'an, "Give me the key, you can go back." ”
"Okay!" Zhao Rucheng turned around and left quite consciously, and when he crossed the door, he suddenly turned back and waved to An An, "Your brother Rucheng is gone, don't miss me too much~"
Xiao An'an ran over and closed the courtyard door with Zhao Rucheng's bright smile.
At night, the city of Maple Grove, which had been noisy for a day, quieted down.
The little earthworm in the Tongtian Palace completed its last leap and spit out a round Dao Yuan into the Star Dou Array.
Jiang Wang opened his eyes and ended today's pulse practice. The accumulation of Dao Yuan, day and night, bit by bit, all the efforts will not be in vain, they will eventually turn into a foundation array, open the extraordinary.
It is precisely because of these countless days and nights of boring practice that there will be a wonderful future in the future.
The room was quiet, Jiang An'an was lying on his small bed, his little hands were placed outside the quilt in a regular manner, motionless.
Because An An was too young, Jiang Wang specially asked someone to customize a small bed and let her sleep in a room with him. Two beds, one large and one small, are placed opposite each other on either side of the room.
Quietly listening to Xiao An'an's breathing, Jiang Wang said softly: "An'an, haven't you fallen asleep yet?"
The little girl's somewhat flustered voice immediately sounded in the room: "Sleep...... Fell asleep. ”
Jiang An'an's nervousness made Jiang Wang's heart ache, such a young child has already learned to read people's faces. It's just because Jiang Wang told her to fall asleep earlier before Chongmai practice, and she would be confused and uneasy if she didn't fall asleep.
A little girl who is less than five years old, suddenly arrives in a strange place, suddenly leaves her mother, and is already very strong without crying. What kind of panic was she in her heart?
But of course these things should not be mentioned again.
"Well, my brother can't sleep. Jiang Wang's voice became softer and softer, "Do you want to see the stars?"
After a while, a mosquito-like "Hmm" rang out in the room. ”
"Then get up. Jiang Wang got up and lit the oil lamp, and then walked to the small bed to help An An put on his coat.
The pair of sword-wielding hands are extremely clumsy when taking care of the child.
"It's not like this, brother, you're ...... upside down"
Jiang Wang withdrew his hand in a daze, "Then An'an, you wear it yourself." ”
The two of them were busy for a while before they walked out of the room.
At that time, the moon was in the sky, and the stars were dotted. The empty courtyard was filled with clean moonlight, which softened what should have been a lonely night.
"Just look at the stars in the yard?" Jiang Anan asked, tilting his little head.
"Of course not. Jiang Wang suddenly hugged her, jumped up from the ground, and jumped on the roof.
Jiang Anan screamed, and his face was red when he landed on the roof.
Jiang Wang looked down at her, and said with some guilt: "Scared An'an?"
Jiang An'an blinked his big eyes, and was faintly excited, "Brother, can you fly?"
Although she seemed to be eager to try, Jiang Wang didn't want to jump around on the roof like a big horse monkey and make people laugh, "Not yet, when my brother has a successful Taoism in the future, he will definitely be." When An An wants to go there, let's fly there, okay?"
"Good. ”
Jiang Wang took off his coat and spread it on the roof, then lay down on his back beside him, pillowed one hand behind his head, and beckoned: "Come, like my brother, lie down and watch the stars." ”
Xiao An'an obediently lay down on Jiang Wang's coat, and his little hands were meticulously resting on his head. Widening his dark eyes, he stared straight at the starry sky.
The vast night was dotted with stars, and they twinkled with each other. Countless lights are born in the endless darkness, and the galaxy is vast, containing countless dreams and memories.
"That one is Zi Weixing, and that one is called Yu Heng...... Nandou is over there, oh, there......"
"They twinkle and twinkle, as if they are blinking. ”
"Only our lovely An An blinks his eyes, like a star, like your wild tiger brother, as far as the beard you see during the day, he blinks like a cowbell. ”
Jiang Anan giggled.
"Do you know An'an, these stars are all in the distance of hundreds of millions of miles......"
"How far is 100 million miles, is it farther than Fengxi Town to here?"
"Much farther than that, countless times farther. If there is a road that leads to the stars, an ordinary person who has walked from life to death for a lifetime may only be considered to have just set off on this road. ”
"Huh?" An An was a little surprised, "So far?"
"yes, so far. They are in endless darkness, spanning such great distances. Deliver the light to your eyes. Dedicate it to you, which may have been extinguished for tens of thousands of years. ”
"They're so good. ”
"Father is such a star, he may have been gone for a long, long time, but he is still far, far away, trying to shine and accompany us with this light, so no matter what time it is, don't be afraid, okay? Brother will always be with you, and so will the stars. ”
"Brother. Jiang Anan's voice was very small: "My mother doesn't want me anymore, right?"
Jiang Wang was silent for a while.
Does he want to tell the truth and tell Xiao An'an that she is a drag oil bottle that has affected her mother's life?
Does he want to reprimand Aunt Song's selfishness and make Xiao An'an hate her biological mother from now on?
How should he answer?
He didn't have time to think about it for too long, because silence was also a disservice.
In the end, he just turned sideways and held An An's little hand seriously and gently.
"An An is so cute, how can anyone not want you? It's my brother who wants to live with you very much. I have to ask my aunt to send you here. When my aunt left, I cried so sadly, and she couldn't bear you. ”
"Really?"
The starlight and moonlight are all on Jiang An'an's little face, caressing the tears that have not faded, she is as beautiful as the elf of the stars and the moon.
Although there was still confusion on his face, his big eyes lit up all of a sudden.
