Chapter 3869 What a pity?
"It's because I don't have the luck to appreciate his performance."
The old man laughed at himself.
"His playing was great."
……
"He..."
The old man couldn't help but swallowed.
He thought of a very important question.
A question that he had ignored for a long time.
"What on earth is it?"
……
That's right.
The old man still hasn't figured out who is playing the pipa?
Is it a human being?
Probably not.
The old man shook his head inwardly.
He is human too.
How can anyone not see people?
But...
If you are not a human being, how can you play the pipa?
Why?
The old man's thoughts hit a dead end.
He couldn't figure it out at all...
……
The old man gave up thinking on his own.
He looked at the young man in front of him, waiting for him to give him a reply.
……
"It's not human."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
……
really.
The old man nodded.
That person was indeed not human.
He guessed correctly.
Since they are not human beings...
"Then what is it?"
In this world, besides humans, are there any other creatures?
And it can still play human music.
For a moment, he really couldn't think of it.
……
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.
"Monster."
……
Xiao Xiao said these two words very lightly.
Like a breeze can easily cover it.
But it was like a bomb exploding in the old man's heart.
Even the old man's ears seemed to have a bit of tinnitus.
……
The old man reached out and rubbed his ears.
He subconsciously wondered if he had heard wrongly?
……
The old man looked at the young man in front of him who looked normal, as if he didn't know what "shocking" words he had said.
"What did you say?"
The young man's appearance gave him the illusion.
He really thought he had heard wrongly.
……
"Monster."
Xiao Xiao spoke clearly.
……
The old man was stunned.
He really couldn't think of any homophones for these two words.
Except for those two words...
……
"You said..."
The old man lowered his voice unconsciously.
"Monster?"
When the old man said these two words, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
No...
He lived for most of his life, but in his later years, someone actually told him about monsters?
No one told him this as a child.
Now he is a gray-haired old man...
But someone said something to him that seemed like something he would say to coax a child.
Even the content in the words seems like something only a child would believe.
……
If he hadn't heard that person's pipa playing before...
Still at my own request, I heard it here and now.
His first reaction would be ridiculous.
But because of those previous foundations...
He actually felt that his first reaction was... to believe it.
……
He actually believed the word monster in this young man's mouth.
Is he crazy?
……
The old man took a deep breath.
"Are you serious?"
The old man couldn't help asking for confirmation again and again.
……
"Really."
Xiao Xiao said firmly.
It behaves more naturally.
……
The old man pursed his lips.
It was visibly entangled.
….
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"You don't have to rush to judge now."
"You can also think of it as just listening to me tell a story."
……ah?
What's the meaning?
The old man looked up blankly at the young man in front of him.
What does it mean to feel like you have heard a story?
……
"You will never hear the sound of the pipa again."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Hmm."
To be strict, Xiao Xiao corrected himself, "I mean you will never hear the sound of my friend playing the pipa again."
If the old man is very lucky, he hears the pipa played by others.
That's out of his control.
……
"Huh?"
The old man opened his mouth.
"䱱means..."
……
"Yes."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
Even though the old man hadn't finished speaking, he understood what the old man wanted to ask.
……
The old man's mood was a little complicated.
The sound of the pipa he heard during this period will no longer ring in his ears, so he is naturally happy.
But while I am happy...
He seemed to have some indescribable emotions.
Monsters...
The old man didn't notice that he actually believed the young man's words.
……
Is it a pity?
the old man asked himself.
For me, I can only hear the sound but not the appearance of the monster...
Or a monster that can play the pipa.
Even as a child, he never associated monsters with pipa.
……
I didn't even listen to the other party's performance completely.
If he misses this time, he will probably never have the chance to interact with monsters again.
The old man clenched his fingers.
……
"Gululu~"
The familiar voice sounded again.
The old man subconsciously covered his stomach.
I felt a little irritated about my stomach.
Why is it barking again?
Just bark a few times and it'll be fine.
Keep calling...keep calling...
It's really upsetting.
Especially when you have other things to do.
……
Xiao Xiao curled his mouth.
"Old man, please go home quickly."
“It’s not good to be hungry.”
"It will hurt your body."
……
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched slightly.
Although the other party said they cared about him, why did he feel as if the other party was driving him back?
The old man shook his head slightly.
Unfounded speculation is wrong.
His children have persuaded him to go back several times.
Every time his stomach growls, the child tries to persuade him,
He had already made peace with the matter of his stomach growling in front of this young man.
Once raw, twice cooked.
He did it three times.
What else is there to be embarrassed about?
He is not so pretentious.
……
"Old man!"
From a distance, a familiar voice came.
The old man turned around suddenly.
What came into view was also a familiar figure.
"Old woman?"
…..
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the old man.
She walked over quickly.
Somewhat angrily, he hit the old man on the arm.
"What's going on?"
“I didn’t say anything in advance if I was going to come back late...”
The old man who usually came back at this time has not been seen for a long time, and the old lady is a little anxious.
I continued to wait patiently for a while-
She was worried that she would run out and miss the old man who came back.
That would be fun.
……
The old lady called the old man.
I originally thought no one answered, so I called a second time with growing concern, only to realize belatedly...
The old man didn't take his cell phone out at all.
The old man's cell phone was charging on the bedside table.
The old lady's face suddenly darkened.
……
After all, the old lady was still worried that something had happened to the old man...
I picked up my phone and hurried out the door.
The cell phone is for calling the police just in case.
……
The old lady came to the place where the old man often came.
I saw a familiar figure in the distance.
The old woman looked happy.
The heavy burden on my heart was finally lifted.
Very good.
It seems that the person is fine.
Then the old lady felt annoyed.
