Chapter 36

After breakfast, the 7 people started a new day of collecting folk songs.Xia Yubing, Qu Hedong, and Luo Luo were still in the same group, and the other four were in another group. The seven agreed to gather at a small restaurant on the pedestrian street that was said to be famous after the gathering, and the first to arrive first reserved seats. .

The destination of Xia Yubing and his party is the Silk Street in the north of Yunshui Town.After taking the bus in the town for about three to 10 minutes, we arrived at the famous Silk Street, where almost every tourist from Daoyunshui Town would come.

Before reaching the pedestrian street, I heard noisy voices from a distance. As soon as I turned the corner of the street, I saw a tall archway standing tall. The three characters "Silk Square" were written in official script in the center of the top of the archway. Several big red lanterns were hung, and the tassels under the lanterns swayed with the wind.

The streets are wide, so even if there are many people, it doesn't seem crowded.There are rows of shops on both sides of the road, and there are many silk fabrics displayed at the door. The rich styles and colors make people dazzled and overwhelmed.All kinds of music and human voices from the shop mixed together, forming a noisy scene.

"A very modern commercial street." Qu Hedong said.

"Are you sure we want to 'gather the wind' here?" Looking at the tourists coming and going, Xia Yubing said hoarsely.

"It doesn't fit the theme of our interview this time." Luoluo echoed.

"Originally when we were discussing before, we said that we wanted to come here to learn about the silk culture of Yunshui Town, so we chose this 'Silk Street' as the location of the investigation, but now it seems that this is obviously a commercial street. Compared with the cultural There are obviously a lot of commercial things here." Qu Hedong said, "There are still flaws in the things on the Internet and in the materials. It is king to see many things in person."

"Then what do we do now?" Lolo asked.Along the way, her eyes were on Xia Yubing and Qu Hedong, but more attention was placed on Xia Yubing, but what surprised her was that Xia Yubing was still the same as that person like a normal person. The expressionless look, not one day in advance, is the same to her as usual, making her feel that Xia Yubing who questioned her with cold eyes in the Mazu Temple is her illusion, but if it is an illusion, this illusion is too much. too real.

Hearing this, Qu Hedong thought for a while and said, "Although it doesn't quite meet the requirements of our investigation, it is still advisable. We can go in and find out about the various finished products, sales, and prices of silk fabrics. Just a little bit."

"So we came here today for shopping?" Xia Yubing said.

Qu Hedong smiled at him: "You can put it this way, a temporary decision. Today's cultural topic of 'Silk', we can only rely on children and Gao Neng to go to Canfang. Let's just stroll around, by the way. Let's take some pictures."

"So are poor students here to go shopping? They can only watch but can't buy?" Luo Luo and Xia Qu have been together for a long time, but they are not always silent in the corner by themselves like they were at the beginning. , and occasionally make a joke or two.

"You can buy it if you want!" Qu Hedong said with a smile.

The three of them just started to stroll in the commercial street. At first, they were amazed by the intricate patterns of silk fabrics, but after seeing a lot, they gradually calmed down and started to wander around the colorful silk fabric shops.On the contrary, Luoluo's eyes were shining all the time - many of the silk fabrics were women's clothing, and she couldn't stop looking at the colorful and colorful clothes - after all, it was a girl's heart.It's just that when she saw the cheongsam, her gaze became much colder.

"Yubing, what do you think of this cheongsam?" When passing by a store, Qu Hedong's eyes stopped on the cheongsam worn by the plastic model in the window. It was a cheongsam with lake green as the background color. The sleeves are patchworkly embroidered with dark green or purple lotus leaves and pink and white lotus flowers. The blend of dark and light colors looks harmonious and elegant.

"It's pretty." Xia Yubing glanced at Qu Hedong in surprise, then looked at the cheongsam he was pointing at for a while and said, "Why? Do you want to buy it?"

Luo Luo at the side also looked at Qu Hedong after hearing the words.

Seeing this, Qu Hedong smiled, and that smile was actually rare and shy: "I just remembered, my mother's birthday is two weeks away, and I haven't prepared any presents yet, so it's not a good idea to go shopping today." After shopping, let’s buy a gift for her when I think about it.”

"You have such a good relationship with your mother?" Xia Yubing asked.Qu Hedong more or less told him about his family.His parents divorced because of his career when he was 7 years old. After the divorce, his elder brother followed his father in England, and he returned to China with his mother when he was in junior high school.Although this is the case, no matter whether he is a father or a mother, he seldom goes home all year round because of his career, and sometimes he can't even see each other 24 hours a day.Xia Yubing compared himself with his parents, who were also busy with their careers all year round, and felt a little surprised.

"It's okay." Qu Hedong smiled a little shyly: "Don't talk about my mother, even if it's my father and my brother, although I don't see them many times throughout the year, and the usual contact is not even that much, But our relationship is still good."

Xia Yubing didn't answer after hearing the words, but Luo Luo who was on the side said: "It sounds like you have a very good relationship with your family." The tone couldn't tell whether it was envy or something else, and it fell into Qu Hedong's ears, letting him It sounds a little weird.But he looked at the cheongsam without thinking too much.

Xia Yubing glanced at Luo Luo upon hearing this, and saw that her eyes fell on another blue and white patterned cheongsam in the window, her gaze was cold, as if she was looking at a person who had been dead for many years through that dress.He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the cheongsam without saying a word for a while, and a blurry figure flashed in his mind.Wearing a cheongsam with blue and white patterns, she was gentle and beautiful, with a light body, the woman who lived in his memory and looked forward to her.

"Lolo, what do you think of this cheongsam? Use your girls' eyes." Qu Hedong turned to her and asked her.

"Me... um... Actually, I don't like cheongsam very much, and I don't know much about it... But look at this one, the color is not very bright, and the pattern on it is also very delicate, it looks beautiful and elegant Yes, it should look very elegant." Luoluo paused and said.

Qu Hedong looked at the cheongsam and thought for a while, and then said: "I think my mother will like this one. She usually wears this style of clothes a lot. But she rarely wears a cheongsam, so I want to buy it." One for her."

"Then do you know your mother's size? When buying a cheongsam, you should pay special attention to whether the cheongsam fits well. If it doesn't fit, it will be very uncomfortable to wear." Luo Luo said.

Qu Hedong looked at her in surprise: "Didn't you say that you don't know cheongsam very well? But you reminded me. But this is not a problem, my mother said, buy her clothes according to the size of the model in the window You can’t go wrong with this one, it usually fits well. I think this one fits pretty well.”

When Luo Luo first heard Qu Hedong's first sentence, he was obviously a little embarrassed as if he had been seen through, but when he saw that he didn't continue talking about that topic, his expression returned to calm, and then he said after consideration: "Wow, your mother has such a figure. okay?"

Qu and Dong laughed without saying a word.His mother is actually a public figure, and usually pays special attention to dieting to maintain her figure, so even though she is over 40 now, she still looks young and beautiful, not inferior to Xiao Xianrou in her early twenties.

"Then do you bring enough money now?" Xia Yubing turned to look at him. There are few fake and shoddy silk products in Silk Street. Looking at the fine workmanship, it is estimated that the price of this cheongsam will not be too cheap.

"Yeah, these clothes look expensive." Luo Luo said.

"Ah! Let me see if I took out my card." Qu Hedong hurriedly looked through the backpack, and was disappointed to find that he hadn't brought it out.

"If I can afford it, I can help you cushion it first. I brought a sheet." Xia Yubing sniffed and said.

"Then thank you brother, let's go in and ask the price." Qu Hedong patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

The three entered the store and consulted the waiter for a while. After Qu Hedong asked Xia Yubingbing and got a positive answer, they finally decided to buy the cheongsam.After shopping, the three felt that they had finished shopping, so they set off for the restaurant on the pedestrian street.

Compared with the night, the pedestrian street in the daytime has fewer people, but it is not too few. Xia Yubing, who squinted his eyes in the car for a while, got out of the car, and stood on the side of the road with his eyelids propped up for a while, complaining helplessly in his heart My own bad luck, I haven't gotten sick once in hundreds of years, but I got sick when I went out to play.He yawned and cursed.But he vaguely knew that maybe it was this illness that made him temporarily put aside the false and real things that worried him in his mind.

Physical fatigue can easily lead to mental fatigue. When a person is awake, he is often like a mouse woman who has nowhere to hide in broad daylight. Even self-deception will appear extremely pale and ridiculous.

While thinking this way, he felt a shadow in front of him.A hand gently smoothed his hair, and then he heard the man's warm laughter: "The hair on your head is up again." For some reason, Xia Yubing felt that the hair that stayed on the tip of the hair The temperature is a bit obsessive, but the gentleness of Qu Hedong's movements just now made him feel almost gentle.He squinted his eyes lazily because of his comfort, and it was rare that he didn't roll his eyes towards Qu and Dong.

On the other hand, Luo Luo accidentally saw this scene, and frowned. Why do these two people look so...strange.She couldn't find other adjectives to express her current feelings for the time being.

I found that store on the pedestrian street, and the three found a secluded place to sit down. Qu Hedong looked at Luo Luo: "Before you said you called the four of them in the car, what did they say?"

Hearing this, Luo Luo was shocked and said: "I called Xiao Xiao and Chen Yue just now, and they didn't answer my call several times. I think it might be because they put their mobile phones in their bags and didn't hear their mobile phone ringing. I will call now them."

Qu Hedong nodded, seeing Luoluo took out the mobile phone in his pocket and made several calls but failed to get through, so he also took out the mobile phone to call the child and Gao Long, to his surprise, he called I tried several times, but still didn't get through.

The three looked at each other.

"It's fine if one or two people can't get through, but if four people can't get through, it's not right, can something happen?" Qu Hedong said with a frown.

"Maybe they didn't bring their mobile phones?" Luo Luo said.

"No." Xia Yubing shook his head, "This morning I watched the kid and Gao Neng team up to play games with their mobile phones."

"I thought of what the policeman said earlier..." Luo Luo said worriedly upon hearing the words.When she said this, the three of them fell silent.

Xia Yubing inexplicably thought of the silver-gray van he saw the day before yesterday, and his face was a bit ugly. He frowned and looked around the restaurant they were in, feeling very upset.

"Hey!" Luo Luo exclaimed in surprise.Xia Yubing and Qu Hedong followed her gaze and saw two people unexpectedly.

A person was wearing the same gray top and jeans as last night. He leaned casually at the front desk with his arms folded, looking at the person in front of him with a smirk at the corner of his mouth.

The person in front of him was wearing simple casual clothes. Even though his back was facing them, his tall and tall figure and posture made people recognize him at a glance.

Xia Tong.

Xia Yubing looked at Zhou Che's seemingly casual but defensive posture, and was a little surprised in his heart.He was surprised that Zhou Che and Xia Tong knew each other, and what surprised him even more was the invisible tension between the two.

"Waiter, is there a quieter seat here?" Xia Tong asked the person at the front desk.

"Sir, how many are you?"

"One." Xia Tong said.

"Two." Zhou Che said.

The two spoke almost in unison.

The waiter smiled a little awkwardly, and his eyes fell on the two of them with more inquiry and curiosity.Two handsome guys who are eye-catching, I don't know what the relationship between the two is... The waiter who was deeply influenced by the corrupt culture was a little surprised, and all kinds of eight-point plots about Xiaogong Xiaoshou were overwhelmingly unfolding in his mind.

Xia Tong looked at the indifferent Zhou Che with deep eyes, and finally lowered his head and frowned and sighed: "All right, both of you."

The waiter instantly imagined the love and hatred between all kinds of domineering hooligans and elegant gentlemen.The eyes are full of love.

Feeling the waiter's scorching gaze on the two of them, Xia Tong: "..."

Coincidentally, under the guidance of the waiter, the two walked to a place near the seats of Xia Yubing and the three of them, and bumped into the three of them head-on.

"Ah, everyone, we meet again." Zhou Che looked at the three of them with a smile on his face.

"Children":"……"

"Mr. Xia, Officer Zhou, hello." Qu Hedong greeted with a smile.

Xia Tong also motioned to the three of them.

Zhou Che was a little surprised that Xia Tong knew them, raised his eyebrows and said, "You guys actually know each other, the world is really small."

"You guys actually know each other." Xia Yubing looked at Xia Tong.

Xia Tong smiled when he heard the words, but didn't speak.It's just that in Xia Yubing's eyes, that smile was a bit of a superficial smile.

"This is your girlfriend?" Xia Tong looked at Luo Luo.

Qu Hedong looked at Xia Yubing when he heard the words, and seeing that he didn't speak, they were quite puzzled: "If they are a couple, have you ever seen a walking light bulb as big as mine?" After saying this, everyone couldn't help laughing .
