Chapter 1084 The Bold Old Man
Pipa Ghost was stunned for a moment, then slowly looked up.
Then he saw that the human being he intended to scare was smiling broadly.
The crutch in his hand kept hitting the ground, making a "duh" sound.
It tilted its head in confusion.
I was a little confused about the situation in front of me.
The old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and calmed down a bit before speaking, "Oh, I'm really old. I can't smile like that anymore."
There was emotion in the old man's voice, and there was also a lingering smile.
She looked at Pipa Ghost and asked, "Are you a street performer?"
"Why did you choose me, an old woman, to perform?"
Pipa Ghost:
It silently stuffed its eyes back into its sockets, and then blinked.
What is going on?
Can this human see it?
"But-"
The old man straightened out his clothes that were wrinkled by laughing just now, and slowly and carefully smoothed out every crease on them with his hands, his expression gentle and calm, "Thank you for your performance."
“Excellent.”
As if he thought of the grimace just now, the smile in the old man's eyes became a little stronger, "I haven't laughed like this in a long time."
"They are all worried about the old woman's health and ask her not to get too excited."
"Whenever the old woman wants to do something, those guys are in a hurry."
"The old woman is very old, but she is still managed like a child."
"No freedom."
The old man was complaining, but the corners of his mouth were always slightly raised.
……
The old man's nagging finally made Pipa Ghost react.
It turns out this human being can actually see it.
I also saw the grimace it made just now.
However, looking at the old man's smiling face, why is it different from what he imagined?
Its grimace...one of Pipa Ghost's eyeballs fell out...isn't it scary at all?
Is it funny?
Pipa Ghost put the eyeball that fell out back into place.
Looking up, he saw the old man's face full of surprise, "How did you do this? It's amazing!"
The old man's hand couldn't help but touch the corners of his eyes.
"Is this magic?"
The old man asked curiously.
Pipa Ghost stared at the old man without saying a word, trying to discern something.
Although it is always overjoyed every time it sees its own grimace, human reaction should not be like this.
Pipa Ghost pursed his lips.
It has seen humans who were frightened by horror movies, screaming, looking frightened, and even crying in severe cases.
The dim scene was "miserable and miserable".
However, Pipa Ghost, who was watching carefully from beginning to end, tilted his head.
It thinks its grimace is scarier.
It is increasingly looking forward to the human reaction after seeing its grimace.
The result...
Isn't its grimace inferior to that of human movies?
Pipa Ghost felt a little aggrieved.
……
The old man looked at the silent young man, and after a moment of confusion, he suddenly realized, "Oh, is it not convenient for you to speak now?"
"I've seen it on TV before...what's it called? Oh, yes, it's called clown."
"They don't speak either, they just perform for passers-by."
Pipa Ghost:......
Humph, even this human being couldn't understand what it said.
The old man laughed "Pfft~" and said, "Are you unwilling that you didn't scare the old lady?"
"Although the old woman is old, she is very courageous."
The old man felt a little proud, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed, "The grimace you just made didn't scare the old lady."
The Pipa Ghost stared at the old man with bulging eyes.
The old man smiled and said, "My wife likes to watch horror movies very much."
"The old lady was taken away and she didn't dare to see her at all. Later, when she watched a horror movie alone, her heart stopped and she felt nothing."
"Sometimes I even watch horror movies as comedies." The old man's expression showed a bit of nostalgia and reminiscence, "The old man always likes to scare old ladies."
"The most extreme one was when people were lying on the bed unable to move, and they pretended to be dead to scare the old lady."
"Seeing the old woman crying so hard, she suddenly opened her eyes, with a successful smile on her face, and said that the old woman didn't keep her promise and promised not to cry, so she was caught by him."
"The old woman was really angry at that time, so she hit the old man several times."
"That old crooked one."
"Is that something you can joke about?"
"But when the old woman calms down and calls the old man's name again..."
"The old man is really gone."
There were a few sparkles in the corners of the old man's eyes, reflecting a faint brilliance in the sunlight.
"It's really..."
"At that moment, the old woman suddenly became extremely frightened."
"The old man...is really gone..."
"He won't open his eyes again and laugh at the old woman's panic."
……
"Isn't it too much?"
"What an excessive and terrible man."
……
The old man raised his head, and then subconsciously squinted his eyes due to the direct sunlight.
"Because of him, the old lady is not afraid of any horror movies."
"Because there is no horror movie like..."
The fact that he could no longer open his eyes was even more terrifying.
……
"Ah, sorry."
After a period of silence, the old man suddenly spoke up, and the smile that Pipa Ghost had first seen on the old man's face showed on his wrinkled old face.
"As expected, when people get older, they start to get bored."
"The old woman has never told anyone these things."
"Maybe-"
The old man lowered his eyes and looked at the young man who had been sitting cross-legged in front of her, "You really play the pipa very well."
"The old lady can't help but tell you too much."
"Don't worry, just think it's an old story."
"Just, if possible, can you play another song for the old lady?"
"A complete song."
"The old lady really wants to hear it."
"The old woman has never heard such a beautiful pipa song before."
There was a gentle smile in the old man's eyes, as well as a hint of prayer.
Look serious.
The performance just now really surprised her.
So the sudden end later really made her extremely regretful.
If it weren't for the grimace that appeared in front of her in the next second, she might have asked the other party to continue playing.
……
Pipa Ghost looked at the human in front of him.
He didn't miss the faint redness in the corners of her eyes.
It nodded.
Now that this human being has seen it and its grimace, it is naturally willing to play a complete song for it.
Pipa Ghost's face returned to the clean and delicate appearance of a young man.
He lowered his head and plucked the strings with his fingers.
The beautiful melody sounded slowly.
The old man closed his eyes slightly and listened quietly to the sound of nature.
In a trance, she seemed to see her long-dead wife.
She smiled.
She knew that it wouldn't be long before she would meet the bastard who threatened her with death.
Not for long.
