Chapter 1395 If it cannot be fulfilled
If the old man saw that his books were bitten by it, he would be very angry, right?
Deserve it.
I thought angrily.
But there is a kind of depression in my heart that cannot be dissipated.
It doesn't understand why the old man never appears again?
Did he leave?
Never come back?
Why?
He clearly said "see you tomorrow".
Or...
Something happened to the old man?
……
Having said this, the beetle looked at the human in front of him, "Can you help me ask?"
"What happened to Grandpa?"
"Why doesn't he come to the bookstore?"
"Grandpa loves bookstores the most."
"I also like these books the most."
"How could he not come?"
"He told me he would meet tomorrow."
"I've been waiting for him for many tomorrows, but I still haven't waited for him."
"The bookstores are all gone."
The beetle's tone was low.
If it didn't react to what happened in the past few days at first, it later understood.
This bookstore is closing.
When he realized this, he was really surprised. He never thought that this bookstore would close.
Because the old man likes this bookstore so much.
He also likes this bookstore.
It was the first time he encountered a bookstore that suited his liking.
The nice smell of books, the old man who can see it, and the sweet honey water...
How can it be closed?
But...
It's really closing.
……
The bookstore is closed, so it has to leave too.
But what about the old man?
Once it leaves, the old man will really never be seen again.
It wants to see the old man again.
It doesn't want or like to be cut off from contact so inexplicably.
It needs an explanation.
An explanation for an old man leaving without saying goodbye.
……
"Master Xiao Xiao, please."
"I really want to know."
"What happened to Grandpa?"
The beetle lowered his head.
This is the only chance for him to know the truth.
The bookstore is closing.
It can't wait for the next human being to see it.
It wants an answer.
An answer that would make it willing to leave here.
……
"Okay."
The beetle suddenly raised his head.
"Let me ask for you."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched slightly.
"Really, really?"
The beetle is speechless.
It was so unexpected and so happy.
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Xiao Xiao!"
"You're welcome."
While the atmosphere between one person and one monster was harmonious, one monster was very unhappy.
It had a premonition that its food was gone again.
Its claws were ready to move, and it really wanted to scratch the face of the human whose smile was so annoying.
……
Sensing the unfriendly gaze of a certain monster, Xiao Xiao turned around and looked.
I saw Taotie La with a long face, looking like he was in a very bad mood.
He couldn't help but find it a little funny.
But he also knew the reason for Taotie's behavior, "I'll buy you something to eat when I go back."
Xiao Xiao offered compensation.
Since the beetle didn't do anything harmful to nature, it was naturally impossible for him to let the glutton eat the beetle.
It can only be replaced by other foods.
……
Taotie's face was finally not so dark anymore.
It would be nice to have compensation.
It walked up to Xiao Xiao with steps like an uncle, then bent its limbs and jumped, and then lay down firmly on Xiao Xiao's head.
That little monster can't eat it, so why is it still sitting there?
Just stare?
...The beetle stared blankly at the scene just now, a little confused.
It was a little distracted.
However, the ferocious monster left, and it breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good.
This human being is indeed a good person.
Although it wasn't quite sure of the cause, it knew that it was definitely because of this human being and that ferocious monster that it left.
It raised its head and looked up at the human in front of it.
There was almost a gleam of adoration in his eyes.
Xiao Xiao:......
He smiled and said, "Are you waiting for me here, or are you going with me?"
"Huh?"
The beetle was stunned for a moment, then it reacted, "Together!"
"Then come up."
Xiao Xiao gestured to the chess game in his hand.
This is a chess book that he finally found that barely left a few chess games.
This beetle really turned its anger into appetite and ate a lot.
……
Xiao Xiao walked to the cashier with the chess record in hand.
It wasn't until Xiao Xiao lightly knocked on the cashier table that the somewhat sleepy man suddenly woke up and looked up.
"Ah, I'm sorry about this guest."
The man wiped his face and smiled awkwardly.
"Have you chosen a book?"
The man glanced at the book in Xiao Xiao's hand and asked, "Is it just one?"
"No other favorite books?"
"Now is the time for sales. It's a good deal to buy a few more copies."
"Boss."
Xiao Xiao put the book on the cashier but did not let go of his hand.
"I would like to ask, where is the previous boss?"
"Didn't he do it?"
The beetle in the book stared at the man unblinkingly.
……
"Previous boss?"
The man subconsciously repeated Xiao Xiao's words, and then suddenly smiled, "So he is an old customer."
"It's really rare that young people actually like old books?"
After sighing with emotion, the man answered Xiao Xiao's previous question, "That's my dad."
"He died more than a week ago."
"Sorry."
Xiao Xiao was not very surprised by this answer.
In fact, after listening to Zhi's story, he had a vague suspicion.
After all, he is an old man.
He glanced at the beetle.
The little monster's back was turned to him, and he couldn't see its expression clearly.
It seemed stunned.
……
"It is inevitable that the old man will get older."
The man waved his hand.
"My father has finally passed away."
Although he said this to the young man in front of him, the man still felt a little confused in his heart.
It is difficult for most people to truly let go of the loss of a life, especially the life of a close relative.
At least it's hard to do in the short term.
The man shook his head and reached for the book Xiao Xiao put on the cashier. "I'll put it in the bag for you."
When Xiao Xiao released his hand, he casually flicked it, and the beetle was pushed from the book to the cashier.
The beetle was startled.
His whole body couldn't help but bounce a little.
Then, it saw that the book it had been sitting on was picked up by the man.
Seeing the man's somewhat familiar appearance, it became a little lost in thought.
The old man is dead.
Dead?
For a moment it didn't quite understand the meaning of the word.
Then it clicked.
Ah, dead.
In other words, the old man will never come to the bookstore again
The old man's promise to see you tomorrow... can no longer be fulfilled.
The old man is gone.
No wonder it waited so many days for the old man's son to come.
It can't wait for the old man.
The beetle was a little confused.
It knows that humans will die.
We also know that compared to most monsters, humans have a short lifespan.
Even though he knew it, it still felt too fast.
It seemed that the old man had just seen it not long ago. It was a little impatient because of the old man's nagging. The old man brought it an old newspaper. The old man ignored its yelling and insisted on pouring a small dish of honey water for it
