Chapter 3838 Dead End
Word by word.
The answer was very clear.
"How many times do you have to ask?"
The old lady was a little impatient.
……
"But..."
The old man twitched his lips.
"This is strange..."
The old man didn’t understand.
"I clearly heard the sound of the pipa..."
"The music is still there when you go on the balcony."
"...The sound of pipa is missing from the back."
The old man heard it clearly.
……
The old lady sat down next to the old man.
She was tired after standing for a long time.
……
"Did you really hear that?"
As soon as the words came out, the old lady reacted.
She asked the same question again and again.
But...
There is no way.
Because the other person's answer is not consistent with her actual experience.
She doesn't know which one to believe anymore?
……
"I really heard it."
The old man couldn't help shouting.
He really, really heard it.
Not just once.
Why didn't the old lady hear it?
He doesn't understand.
Very incomprehensible.
……
"Don't get excited."
The old lady hurriedly comforted the old man.
"Why are you speaking so loudly?"
"I'm right next to you."
"No need to be so loud."
"Besides..."
The old lady curled her lips slightly, "Isn't your voice reasonable?"
……
The old man pursed his lips.
He fell silent.
But his face still looked ugly.
……
"I asked you to speak softer, but I didn't ask you to stop talking..."
The old lady was a little funny.
Is this old man angry that she thinks his voice is too loud?
……
"...You didn't even hear the sound of the pipa..."
The old man didn't want to appear stingy.
"What else should I tell you?"
……
Uh...
The old lady blinked.
This is true.
She didn't even hear the sound of the pipa. What else could she talk to the old man about?
Their conversation hit a dead end.
She wondered if the old man heard the pipa sound.
The old man also wondered why she didn't hear the pipa sound?
None of them could convince anyone.
Because they have no more evidence to prove their words are right.
What else is there to talk about?
No more talking.
……
"Eat-"
The old lady then realized that the grapes had fallen to the ground and she had not picked them up.
She crouched down hastily.
"I'll wash the grapes again."
"Let's leave this issue alone for now."
……
The old man took a deep breath.
He also squatted down.
I helped the old lady pick up the grapes that fell on the ground.
……
The old lady quickly washed the grapes and came back.
The two of them ate grapes and watched TV together.
No one mentioned the topic of Pipa again.
……
Pipa Ghost shook his feet.
It's not a malicious monster.
It knows that interrupting humans watching TV will make humans unhappy.
It has seen many humans quarreling over this.
Think of it, if someone disturbs you when you are concentrating on playing, it will also be very angry.
The initial incomprehension dissipated.
……
Pipa Ghost turned around lightly on the balcony railing.
The moonlight is like water.
It was like a layer of gauze covering Pipa Ghost's body.
Pipa Ghost raised his head.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight.
Even in the past years, it has admired the moonlight countless times.
It will still be touched by the moonlight at this time.
……
"Mom, mom~"
The clear and loud voice of a child came from downstairs.
There was obvious anxiety in his voice with a bit of vibrato.
……
Pipa Ghost lowered his head.
……
The child, barely able to learn to walk, was staggering and chasing the woman in front of him with his short legs.
The child tried hard to hold his hands together. He seemed to be trying to catch the woman in front of him.
……
The woman must have heard the child's screams.
But she didn't look back.
But he deliberately slowed down his pace.
Keep the child at a close distance from her.
……
"Mom~"
The child's big eyes slowly filled with tears.
"Mom-"
……
Pipa Ghost:……
It clearly saw that the child stumbled with his left foot and his right foot...
Then he twisted his whole body.
……
How is this done?
Pipa Ghost stretched his feet curiously.
Try to use your left foot to trip your right foot...
At the same time, the Pipa Ghost seemed to have eyes on its forehead.
Just a second before the child was about to face forward and be thrown into the dirt, Pipa Ghost flicked his fingers and a short syllable sounded.
……
The child's fallen body was pushed back by an invisible force.
……
The child froze in place.
He touched his chest with a dull expression.
Why?
The child's mouth opens.
Somewhat at a loss.
……
The old man suddenly turned his head and glanced at the balcony.
Just now...
……
"What's wrong?"
Sensing the movement of the old man beside her, the old lady asked aloud.
Eyes still fixed on the screen.
At this time, the plot is reaching its climax.
The old lady had no time for him.
……
"Nothing."
The old man shook his head subconsciously.
"Just exercise your neck,"
……
"Oh."
The old lady easily accepted the old man's explanation.
Her attention was focused on the plot on TV.
I didn't notice any hint of absent-mindedness in the old man's words.
……
The old man shook his head.
He rubbed his ears.
Has he become "obsessed" with the sound of the pipa during this period?
To be honest, the old woman categorically said that she did not hear the sound of the pipa...
Although he will not immediately change his perception...
But it is inevitable that there will be some wavering.
Really...
Did he hear it wrong?
So many times...
Did he hear it wrong?
……
Although the old man was still looking at the TV screen.
The attention is no longer on the plot on the screen.
……
"Baby?"
After not hearing the child's cry for a while, the woman's heart skipped a beat.
She turned immediately.
The next second, when she saw the child standing well not far away, her heart suddenly dropped back to where it was before.
fine.
She thought...
……
The woman strode up to the child.
Then she noticed that something seemed wrong with the child?
She crouched down hastily.
"What's wrong?"
Her hand touched the child's face.
"Why do you look so stupid?"
……
"Mom..."
The all too familiar voice brought the child back to his senses.
He blinked his big, round eyes.
There was a bit of confusion in his eyes.
"Just now..."
……
"Yeah."
The woman responded softly.
"What happened just now?"
……
"I'm going to fall..."
The child unconsciously reached out and made random gestures.
……
"You fell?!"
The woman was surprised.
She looked down quickly at the child's knees.
"Does it hurt from the fall?"
"Where is it hurt?"
"Baby......"
……
"Huh?"
The child was bewildered and allowed his mother to "put her hands up and down" on him.
He said slowly, "It doesn't hurt."
……
"It doesn't hurt?"
The woman checked and found that there were indeed no wounds or bruises on the child's body.
Not even dust.
