Chapter 3485 Little Green Pepper
After eating snacks and drinking tea, Xiao Xiao said goodbye to the old man again.
This time the old man didn't stop anyone.
……
The old man simply waved to his grandson.
"Be safe on your way back to school."
"When crossing the road, pay attention to the cars on both sides, even if the sidewalk is green..."
……
"Got it."
Xiao Xiao nodded in response.
"I'll pay attention."
"Grandpa, I'm leaving."
"Goodbye."
……
"Goodbye."
The old man watched his grandson walk out of the courtyard gate.
When his grandson's back was no longer visible, the old man withdrew his gaze.
He looked at the chessboard.
Then he raised his eyes.
There was a deep smile on his face.
"Let's continue playing chess."
"I will definitely perform better in this game than the last one."
The old man is quite gearing up.
……
Xiao Xiao stepped out of the courtyard gate.
The plum fragrance lingering on the tip of my nose immediately dissipated.
He smiled.
He closed the gate of the yard behind him.
……
Walking out of the alley, the sun suddenly shone in front of my eyes.
Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
The pace did not stop.
……
The streets were busy with traffic and noisy sounds could be heard.
Very lively.
People's mood can't help but be infected and become a little lighter.
……
"Ouch!"
The old lady let out a cry of pain.
The vegetable basket in his hand fell to the ground.
The food inside rolled all over the floor.
……
“My food!”
The old lady didn't care about anything else and hurriedly bent down to pick up the vegetables.
……
The "culprit" on the side was at a loss for a few seconds, then he seemed to react and squatted down to pick up the vegetables.
……
There is strength in numbers.
The two of them picked up vegetables together, and soon almost all the vegetables on the ground were picked up.
……
The old lady stood up holding her waist.
People are older.
This waist won't work.
The old lady frowned.
She looked at the vegetable basket, then raised her eyes and looked around.
I want to see if there are any "fish that slipped through the net".
……
The old lady hasn't noticed yet.
The boy had already seen a small green pepper lying on the roadside.
He didn't think much and walked over subconsciously.
He bent over-
"Toot!"
The sharp sound of the horn was mixed with the sound of tires rubbing against the ground during emergency braking.
The hearts of everyone who heard it could not help but beat heavily.
His face looked horrified.
……
"Are you okay?"
Xiao Xiao slowly let go of the hand holding the young man's arm.
……
The boy's pale, bloodless face was blank.
What?
He blinked dully.
ah……?
He opened his mouth.
But no sound was made.
……
"Are you okay!?"
The old lady walked over in a hurry.
There was a look of shock on his face.
"Ouch~"
"Oh my God."
"It was really scary just now!"
……
The old lady's somewhat shrill voice reunited the young man's wandering thoughts.
He seemed to have suddenly come back to his senses.
His expression suddenly became vivid.
But his throat still seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.
……
"Are you okay?!"
Seeing that the young man remained silent, the old lady took the young man's hand.
"Hey."
"Speak out."
"Can you hear my voice?"
……
The old lady let go of the boy's hand.
Then he patted the young man's back hard.
……
"Ouch~"
The boy subconsciously let out a cry of pain.
The old lady is really not gentle.
The young man bared his teeth a little.
……
The old lady was relieved.
Finally got a reaction.
"Are you scared out of your wits?"
……
The young man looked at the old lady. His expression was blank.
It seemed to perfectly confirm what the old lady said before.
……
The old lady's frown deepened.
She took the boy's hand and patted it.
"It's okay."
"A false alarm."
"Don't be afraid."
"You are fine now."
"Ouch."
"This child was really frightened."
"The old lady is also frightened by you."
"What are you doing out on the street?"
“I don’t even look at the passing vehicles.”
"That car-"
The old lady subconsciously looked in the direction of the street.
I found cars coming and going on the street, everything was normal.
The car that almost hit the boy just now was gone.
……
The old lady twitched her lips.
Runs backwards.
Although the accident just now was actually the child's fault.
The driver probably didn't want to waste time.
Seeing that no one here noticed him, he drove away directly.
Anyway, in this accident, except for the person who was greatly frightened, the car was fine and no one was injured.
This is the kid...
Really scared.
The old lady looked at the young man with some pity.
……
Too.
The thin line between life and death.
She felt her heart stopped when she looked at the scene just now.
This is how she was as a bystander.
What about those who have experienced it?
It’s good that I didn’t faint.
……
"Not talking about the car."
The old lady looked away.
It was as if she noticed Xiao Xiao next to her for the first time.
This person...
After being stunned for a moment, the old lady grinned and said, "You have to thank the brother beside you."
She remembered.
"Thanks to him."
"You're fine."
Although she didn't see the process.
The picture that appeared in her eyes was that of this young man standing on the side of the road holding the boy.
It's obvious.
This young man saved the boy at the critical moment.
……
The young man turned to look at Xiao Xiao.
……
Xiao Xiao slightly arched his eyebrows.
"Want some candy?"
He reached out and handed the boy a candy.
……
Um?
The young man was a little stunned.
W-what?
sugar?
……
The boy subconsciously took the candy.
……
The old lady nodded aside.
"Yeah."
"That's right."
"It's good to have some candy."
"Eat a piece of candy slowly."
"It's okay."
……
The young man pursed his lips.
He peeled off the candy wrapper awkwardly.
……
When the sweet taste of sugar spread in his mouth, the young man's tense expression finally relaxed a little.
The boy experienced the sweet taste of candy with his heart.
The chaotically beating heart slowly returned to peace.
……
The boy's changes were seen by the two of them.
The old lady smiled reassuringly.
Sure enough, candy has a great effect on children.
……
"Grandma."
Xiao Xiao handed the thing in his hand to the old man.
"Did you drop this?"
……
Um?
The old lady looked at the young man's open palm.
On top lies a small green pepper.
The old lady looked at her vegetable basket subconsciously.
Small green pepper......
She did buy it...
……
"Ah!"
The boy made a sound.
This little green pepper...
……
Xiao Xiao smiled at the young man.
"You almost had an accident just because you were picking it up, right?"
……
The young man nodded.
In the end, he still didn't pick it up.
He had actually picked up the small green peppers at that time.
But the sharp and noisy sound that almost exploded in his ears frightened him.
The little green pepper fell from his hand.
Behind...
He didn't know what happened next.
When he gets an impression...
