Chapter 184 - 160: If It Goes Out of Control...
Chapter 184: Chapter 160: If It Goes Out of Control...After exchanging her money, Mu Xitang confidently headed to the bun shop on the other side of the street.
Two yuan sixty cents, and the owner gave her three buns.
"Hey, wait, little Xi Tang, here’s some pickled vegetables."
The bun shop uncle called out to the little girl who was about to leave and handed her half a bag of pickles.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to give more; giving a whole bag might cause the little girl to refuse.
"They’re too salty, not to my taste, so I’m giving them to you."
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Mu Xitang thanked him before taking the pickles and leaving.
It was clear from her joyfully raised eyebrows that the pickles were an unexpected gain for her today.
Seeing her smile so happily,
Jiang Xiao also laughed and cried.
But before they reached Mu Xitang’s "camp",
Jiang Xiao’s expression turned grim.
Mu Xitang also slowly widened her eyes as if she had realized something...
The bun uncontrollably "plopped" and fell to the ground.
Afterward, the little one dashed all the way to the green belt.
"Where’s my cardboard box? My cardboard box is gone!"
Her voice became frantic, and her little face was filled with anxiety.
Undeterred, she
of their family of five playing checkers on the bed,
of the egg poach and millet porridge her mother would cook when they were hungry at night,
of the first time her father cooked for their mother,
of the time her father took them to a small town to score some free noodles from a kind man...
Uncontrollably, Mu Xitang walked to the glass window, her body trembling, but she pressed close to the glass to look inside.
The people inside truly seemed so happy...
"Hey! Don’t disturb our business!"
A woman stuck her head out from the door to shoo Mu Xitang away, but the cold wind made her quickly retract her head.
"Oh, oh, sorry..."
Mu Xitang shakily huddled down outside the restaurant wall.
She thought, her dirty self leaning on their glass would definitely affect the appetite of the guests inside...
"Ugh~"
Perhaps feeling that even leaning on the wall might affect the restaurant owner’s business, Mu Xitang laboriously shifted to the side.
She rested for a while.
Feeling that continuously slumping there was no solution, Mu Xitang finally managed to stand up again.
Jiang Xiao’s breath became frantic.
Analog Horror was right; she really was struggling...
While still weak in the evening, Jiang Xiao felt her spirit was still okay.
But unexpectedly, within just a few hours...
The snowstorm grew fiercer, and the people on the street all hurried by.
No one would notice the small body wrapped in a military coat.
Mu Xitang dragged her exhausted body, having to stop to rest every few steps...
