Chapter 4436 Trembling
The villagers stopped Old Man Mao.
Some young people took the opportunity to hit Old Man Mao.
All of them pretended not to see it.
Old Man Mao deserves a beating.
……
They thought that Old Man Mao would change after this tragic accident...
The result...
Not really.
When they received the news that their child's mother had passed away, they were stunned.
They felt a great sadness gripping their hearts.
It has only been a year since the child left.
what happened?
……
After the child's funeral, they paid less attention to Old Man Mao's family.
Old Man Mao lives in a remote place.
I don’t have much contact with them.
Moreover, they all have their own lives.
It’s not easy for everyone.
They are all running for a better life.
Where do you have the extra energy to pay attention to people who have nothing to do with you?
……
They didn't even see the child's mother for the last time.
I know that the mother of the child passed away due to illness...
They could only sigh.
Some of them went to visit the mother of the child at her grave.
The child's grave is next to it.
……
Although the child's mother passed away due to illness, the villagers blamed Old Man Mao.
He disliked old man Mao even more.
Such people should not get married or have children.
He just gave him such a good wife and children...
But he doesn't know how to cherish it at all.
He deserved to be lonely and helpless for the rest of his life.
……
The old lady ran over in a hurry.
……
With the distance getting closer, the old couple could clearly see what their grandson looked like at this moment.
Not to mention the embarrassment of being soaked all over.
What makes them even more confused and palpitating...
It's the child's expression at this time.
……
The child's eyes widened.
Even in the dim rainy sky, the old couple could clearly see the child's pale face.
And the fear and terror on the child's face.
……
The child kept tapping his feet.
As if trying desperately to stay away from something.
The soles of the shoes hit the ground, making a splashing sound.
It was after hearing this sound that the old man noticed the movement in the yard of Old Man Mao's house.
Otherwise...
They are going to miss this place.
After all, they are accustomed to ignoring Old Man Mao's home.
……
what happens? !
The old couple looked at each other.
"Lele!"
The old lady threw away the umbrella in her hand and hugged her grandson.
……
The old man immediately held an umbrella for the two of them.
He looked at his grandson with a worried look.
This was the first time he saw his grandson like this.
It's so unsettling and worrying.
What happened?
How could my grandson look like this?
The old man raised his eyes and looked around.
There is no one else.
Only them.
What about before he and the old lady arrive?
Is it just the child?
Or...
Anyone else?
……
"Lele, what's wrong with you?"
"What happened?"
"It's okay."
"Grandpa and grandma are here."
The old lady hugged her grandson tightly.
Soothing the child over and over again.
"It's okay..."
……
Under grandma's warm embrace and her tireless words of comfort, the child's body finally stopped trembling.
He raised his eyes and slowly lowered his hands covering his ears.
"...Milk, grandma..."
……
"Hey."
The old lady responded immediately.
"My good grandson."
"Why do you look so pitiful?"
"We all cried."
The old lady stretched out her hand to wipe away the traces of rain or tears from the corners of the child's eyes.
She knew the child was crying.
The child looked like he was crying.
The old lady's eyes were filled with distress.
……
The child subconsciously touched the corners of his eyes.
Did he cry?
oh.
He seemed to be crying.
The feeling of heat in the corners of my eyes before and something flowing down was quite deep.
……
"What happened?"
Seeing that the child's mood has stabilized a bit, the old man is a little tired from bending over-
After all, as we get older, our waists are not as good as those of young people.
The old man knelt down. The umbrella was careful not to touch the old woman and her grandson.
The old man's back was already mostly wet.
……
"Grandpa, grandpa..."
The child murmured intermittently.
"Well, so scary..."
……
"What's so scary?"
The old man lowered his voice and asked patiently.
……
"Lele, is someone bullying you?"
The old lady raised her eyebrows.
Who dares to bully her grandson? !
Are you looking for a fight?
……
"No, it's not..."
After a brief pause, the child shook his head.
He shrank into grandma's arms and pointed in the direction of the house.
"Then, there..."
"Sheep... monsters... monsters..."
"Eating people..."
The child is incoherent.
The whole person was trembling as he recalled the scene just now.
It was obviously just a scene for a second, but it seemed to have taken root in the child's mind.
Can't get rid of it.
……
What?
The old man and the old woman looked at each other.
The child is too scared.
The voice was trembling.
The words are vague.
Plus the noisy wind and rain all around.
The two elderly people actually didn't quite hear what the child said.
But...
The old man turned his head.
Is there... anything in the house?
……
"Take it."
The old man put the umbrella in his hand into the old lady's hand.
"You are here."
"I'll go take a look."
……
"Be careful."
The old lady held the umbrella in her hand tightly.
Although she didn't know what was in the house, she could scare the child so much...
It's always a good idea to err on the side of caution.
……
"I know."
The old man picked up the umbrella that the old lady had dropped on the ground.
He squeezed the handle of the umbrella in his hand.
Walk slowly towards the house.
……
The old lady hugged the child.
She could feel the baby trembling.
The child's trembling made the old lady feel a little frightened.
For a moment, she wanted to call the old man to stop.
Stop looking.
They go home.
……
The old lady wriggled her lips a few times.
After all, no sound was made.
She closely followed the old man's every move.
Occasionally, my eyes glanced into the house.
My heart became more and more anxious.
……
The old man narrowed his eyes.
The room was dark.
The view is not good.
He couldn't see clearly through the crack in the door.
……
The old man took a deep breath.
He folded his umbrella.
Then...
Slowly opened the door.
……
Everything inside the door soon became clear to the old man's eyes.
The old man was stunned.
……
The room has ordinary furnishings.
An ordinary look.
There is a glass of water on the table opposite the door.
The old man approached.
Drink half of the water.
He turned and looked around.
……
The old man started to move.
He searched the whole house.
Including second floor.
Nothing was found.
The old man was amused by how frightened and fearful he was before.
Then doubts arose in the old man's heart.
Old Man Mao is not here.
But this house didn't look like anyone had lived in it for a long time.
The breath of life is very strong.
So...
The old man was thoughtful.
Was Old Man Mao trapped somewhere by the heavy rain?
