Chapter 5294 "Tragedy" caused by two peaches
But this is too strange...
"...How is it possible..."
Zhang Lei murmured in a low voice .
How come only one person can see it?
...
“I don’t understand it either.”
The uncle looked at the sky.
The eyes are a little dazed.
“To me, that old man is very real.”
“I did see him.”
“I talked a lot to him.”
“He also talked a lot to me.”
“How could that be? It's..."
The uncle looked at Zhang Lei, "...an illusion of mine?"
...
"...hallucination?"
Zhang Lei was stunned.
……
“Yes.”
The uncle smiled and said, "My parents told me..."
"I may be exhausted physically and mentally from the continuous bad luck and become a little mentally fragile."
"In order to divert this pain... ..."
"I came up with such an old man."
"All my bad luck is because of this old man."
"Having an outlet for my emotions will make me feel better."
The uncle shrugged slightly, "To put it bluntly, there is someone who takes the blame for my misfortune... ”
“I don’t have to worry about it internally”
“I will feel a lot more relaxed,”
……
Zhang Lei was stunned for a moment.
His mouth opened slightly.
This, that's it...
It sounds somewhat reasonable?
……
"Really?"
The master grinned.
"I also think what my parents said makes sense."
"Especially when I never find that old grandpa again..."
… …
"You haven't found the old man?"
Zhang Lei asked subconsciously.
......
"Yeah."
The uncle nodded, "I looked for a lot of places."
"I thought I would be able to catch the old man next time I was unlucky..."
"But no."
The uncle shook his head.
“I have been looking for it for a long time and waited for many days...”
But...
"The old grandpa didn't show up again."
"Me too..."
The uncle spread his hands, "I'm not unlucky again."
"I mean like what happened some time ago. Frequent and inexplicable bad luck..."
...
Zhang Lei opened his mouth and was speechless.
The amount of information Zhang Chen gave him was a bit large.
He shook his head.
Heh.
Why does he feel like he is listening to the story of One Thousand and One Nights...
...
"The peaches I prepared for grandpa are also rotten..."
The uncle doesn't know what reaction to give, so just smile.
……
“Peach?”
Zhang Lei immediately asked, "What peach?"
Why did you mention peach?
Did he miss something?
……
The uncle showed his white teeth.
"You didn't miss it."
"I didn't say it just now."
......
Oh~
He just said it.
Zhang Lei was relieved.
It wasn’t that he was distracted and didn’t hear.
......
"...The old man said that all my bad luck during that time was his fault..."
Every time the uncle said this, he still felt in his heart Various emotions emerged involuntarily.
For example, absurd, surprising, unbelievable...
"I asked him why?"
"Why do you do this to me?"
...
Yes.
Zhang Lei's face showed surprise.
Why?
"Why did he do this to you?"
Zhang Lei asked following Zhang Chen's words.
It can’t be for no reason, right?
Similar to the antisocial personality in news reports?
……
The uncle smiled.
He did find that reason somewhat funny.
"...I said I ate his peach."
"Two."
The uncle emphasized the number of peaches.
……
Zhang Lei opened his mouth wide. His face was full of shock, "It's because you ate two of his peaches..."
Zhang Lei took a deep breath.
“He has made you unlucky for so long?!”
He is Zhang Chen’s classmate.
After such a long time, he could still remember this incident and tell it to his niece...
It can be seen that Zhang Chen was really unlucky back then.
So it left a deep impression on him.
As a result, Zhang Chen told him today...
The reason why Zhang Chen was so unlucky back then...
Is it just because of the two peaches?
……
Isn't it a bit... making a mountain out of a molehill?
Just two peaches...
How much does it cost?
Could it be that those two peaches are still flat peaches that are said to prolong life?
……
"...You stole two peaches from grandpa?"
Zhang Lei suddenly thought.
……
“No.”
The uncle shook his head.
"The two peaches were placed outdoors."
"Next to the river in the woods."
"I saw them and thought they were peaches that someone had forgotten."
< br>“The peaches look delicious.”
“I think it would be a shame to let them go bad.”
“I picked them up and ate them.”
“I didn’t know the owner of the two peaches didn’t forget them.”
“I’m sorry for taking the peaches without permission.”
"But he can tell me that I can give him two peaches or more peaches as compensation."
Instead of...
...
“Yes.”
Zhang Lei nodded.
“You ate his peaches. How many peaches did you eat? Just pay him a few peaches.”
“Wouldn’t he have no loss in this way?”
"Besides, you didn't mean it on purpose."
"As for going so far?"
Zhang Chen was very unlucky at that time.
Especially for a child, it is a lot of hardship.
……
"Yes."
The uncle nodded, "I think so too."
"It was my fault that I ate his peach."
"But I really It's not intentional."
"As long as he comes and tells me, I will definitely pay him a peach."
"You can pay a few more."
......
"Yes."
Zhang Lei nodded.
What a simple thing...
Why did it become like that later?
"That old man..."
"Too stingy."
Zhang Lei said it very straightforwardly.
“What’s your name?”
"A tragedy caused by two peaches?"
"Although you were quite unlucky at that time."
"But the reason is really..."
"It's a bit funny ”
……
"Yeah."
The uncle smiled and said, "I think it's a little funny too."
Just thinking about how much suffering I suffered because of the two peaches...
He felt that he still couldn't laugh.
……
Zhang Lei was keenly aware of the subtle changes in Zhang Chen's mood.
He quickly figured out the reason.
He immediately said, "But that's not necessarily true, is it?"
"Didn't you say that your mother and an old lady didn't even see that old grandfather?"< br>
……
"Yes."
The uncle nodded.
“That’s not necessarily true.”
But it only made him feel more uncomfortable.
Every time he wanted to complain about the old man, another voice would sound in his heart...
Grandpa is fake.
It was his fantasy.
......
He will feel as if something is stuck in his throat.
Emotions are neither up nor down.
On the contrary, it became more and more unpleasant.
......
This actually proves that mom and dad are probably right.
He really wanted to find an outlet for his emotions, a "scapegoat", and blame all his misfortunes on that "scapegoat."
To make myself happy.
...
"...But I really ate the peach..."
The uncle murmured.
……
“What?”
Zhang Lei didn't hear Zhang Chen's words clearly.
