Chapter 1762 Grandma and Child
"It's really swollen."
"Like a pig's trotter."
The child was a little disgusted, "It was obviously not swollen before."
"How can it be so fast?"
The old man was a little annoyed, "You have to give it some time to react."
"Grandma should have come to see you earlier."
The old man was very regretful and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"Is it a hard walk?"
The child shook his head, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, "I'm not walking."
"The tiger sent me back!"
There was a lot of show off in his cheerful tone.
"Tiger?"
The old man was stunned.
This kid Leilei is talking about...is that the tiger?
Did she...hear that right?
If you heard me correctly...
The old man shook his head.
Tiger sent this child back...how is that possible?
Besides, I haven't heard of any tigers around here.
If she knew there were dangerous creatures like tigers in the forest, how could she trust her child to come alone at night?
Even if it was daytime, she would not allow her children to come and play in the woods.
……
"Leilei..."
The old man hesitated to speak.
The child is not stupid either.
But what he didn't understand was... "Grandma, didn't you see it?"
"The tiger is by my side."
As he said this, the child turned his head and looked.
The next second, the child was stunned.
There was nothing around him.
There are no tigers.
There are no more fireflies.
The environment should have been dark because the flashlight in grandma's hand even made him feel a little too bright.
It was so bright, but he couldn't see the tigers and fireflies he wanted to see
When did they leave?
He didn't notice it at all.
The child suddenly remembered that he had secretly hoped that the tiger would leave without a trace, just like when it came without a trace.
Unexpectedly, the tiger really left silently...
……
"Leilei?"
The old man asked worriedly, "Are you too tired?"
I've walked a lot with my injured foot, so it's hard to tell the difference between reality and fantasy?
The child pursed his lips.
He looked around unwillingly.
"Tiger, tiger... tiger..."
The child kept shouting.
One voice after another.
Every sound is louder than the last.
Each sound became more urgent than the last.
The child staggered slowly and walked to the side.
The old man hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the child, "Leilei, watch your feet."
"Leilei, let's go home."
"The tiger has come home too."
In order to let the child go home, the old man followed the child's wishes.
"It delivers you to your door, and then it goes home itself."
……
The child said nothing.
He knew that maybe what grandma said was right
But he didn't stop looking.
Probably the child's stubbornness.
It may also be the child's hidden uneasiness...
If you can’t find the tiger this time-
The child had a feeling that he would probably never see a tiger again.
He doesn't want this.
He wants to find the tiger.
He hasn't said goodbye to it yet.
……
Seeing the stubbornness on the child's face, the old man had a headache.
Why is this child so troubled now?
……
The child twisted his feet and leaned to one side.
The old man hurriedly grabbed the child, but he overestimated his own strength and underestimated the child's weight.
The child slowly sat on the ground.
There was a stinging pain in his ankle.
He reached out and wiped his feet.
The corners of his eyes were faintly red.
"Lei-"
The old man's voice stopped suddenly.
Because she saw that the child who was originally depressed and sad showed a surprised smile.
Found...tiger?
The old man feels that he is also confused, right?
How is it possible?
She followed the child's gaze.
She saw nothing but a bush.
She looked at the child's face again.
He looked so happy and his eyes were sparkling... The old man's brows slowly frowned, "Leilei..."
……
"Tiger!"
The child immediately forgot about the pain in his feet and stood up immediately.
When he was about to step forward, his body swayed.
"Leilei!"
The old man hurriedly held the child's arm.
"Grandma, look!"
The child shouted happily, "Tiger!"
"It's a tiger!"
"I found the tiger!"
The child was almost dancing.
"Tiger, where have you been?"
"I've been calling you for a long time."
Although he was complaining, the smile on the child's face was getting bigger and bigger.
"Why did you leave without saying a word?"
"Is it because of grandma?"
Seeing the tiger gives the child's mind room to think about other things.
"Were you scared by grandma?"
"Grandma is very nice."
……
"Leile..."
Seeing the child talking to the air with a serious look, the old man's face showed a bit of panic.
"Leile..."
The old man murmured.
"Leilei!"
The old man shouted.
The child was startled.
Finally he turned his attention to the old man, "Grandma, grandma?"
Seeing that he had scared the child, the old man took a deep breath.
But didn't the child scare her?
She deliberately lowered her tone and volume, as if she was afraid of scaring someone.
"Leilei."
"Who are you talking to?"
"Tiger."
After blurting out the words, the child realized something was wrong.
"Grandma..."
"What's wrong?"
"Why do you ask that?"
Why ask such an obvious question?
The child was puzzled.
In front of him was the tiger.
"If I don't talk to the tiger, how can I talk to the air..."
The child murmured in a low voice. It was originally a joke, but he didn't expect it
"Isn't it?"
But he heard unexpected words
The old man's rhetorical question made the child stunned.
What...isn't it?
What's the meaning?
Why can't he understand?
"In the eyes of grandma, Leile is just talking to the air."
The old man said word by word.
Look at the child seriously.
It showed that she wasn't even joking.
The child blinked.
He turned to look at the tiger.
He looked at grandma again.
A look of confusion.
He doesn't understand.
The tiger is obviously here.
He looked at the tiger talking.
Why would grandma say that?
Is he talking to the air?
No.
The child opened his mouth to say something.
But once he met his grandmother's gaze, he found that he couldn't say anything.
Grandma doesn’t seem very happy?
No.
More than just unhappy.
The child frowned.
There were also worries and some emotions that he couldn't understand.
"Grandma."
The child is quiet.
"Leilei, let's go home."
The old man said nothing more about the child talking into the air.
She skipped the topic.
"It's very late."
"Your foot injury needs attention."
"Besides, you are tired too."
"Go back, take a shower and have a good night's rest."
The old man squinted and smiled, "When I woke up the next day, nothing happened."
