Chapter 4534 Can’t sleep well
"If you are angry, don't let it go."
The old man shook his head.
……
The boy pursed his lips.
As if trying to suppress something.
……
The old man looked at the puppy's owner.
"Young man."
"I'm sorry."
"Is your puppy okay?"
The old man's eyes fell on the puppy.
……
"It's okay."
Xiao Xiao reached out and gently touched the puppy's head.
The puppy quietly allowed Xiao Xiao to move, and was particularly well-behaved.
……
The puppy was kicked twice.
I wonder if it’s because the boys are measured and restrained?
Or is the puppy lucky?
After the initial pain subsided, the puppy was basically fine.
Compared with the physical pain, the mental shock to the puppy is obviously more serious.
……
"You don't need to apologize."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly at the old man.
"I need to apologize..."
Xiao Xiao looked at the boy and said, "It's him."
……
After a brief pause, the old man nodded, "Yes, yes."
"Xiao Ding."
The old man also looked at the boy.
"Why don't you apologize quickly?"
……
"Xiao Ding!"
Seeing the boy standing there with a vicious expression and no reaction, the old man couldn't help but increase his tone.
"Apologise."
……
"...Why?"
After a while, the boy squeezed out a few words through his teeth.
……
Why?
The old man opened his eyes in disbelief.
Ask this question...
Xiao Ding is serious?
……
"You hurt someone else's pet for no reason."
The old man spoke very slowly, as if he wanted the boy to fully understand the meaning of this sentence.
"Don't you need to apologize?"
……
The boy was silent.
Still looking stubborn.
The aura around him was like a volcano that was about to erupt in the next second, depressing and violent.
……
The old man shook his head.
"Young man, it's not me making excuses for him."
"Xiao Ding did something wrong."
"That's for sure."
"But he really didn't mean it..."
……
"He just kicked the puppy on purpose."
The little boy muttered.
I don’t like Grandpa Wang giving excuses to bad guys.
……
The old man reached out and touched the little boy's head.
He looked at the young man.
"Xiao Ding hasn't been able to sleep well during this period..."
"He wasn't a grumpy person before."
"But you also know that if a person doesn't get enough rest, how can his temper improve?"
"Of course."
"I know this is Xiao Ding's own problem."
There is no need for puppy owners to be considerate.
"It's just that he can't sleep well..."
The old man smiled bitterly.
"Something special..."
"Xiao Ding kept saying that he heard the crow of the chicken..."
"It was so noisy that he couldn't sleep well."
"The problem is except him..."
"No one heard the cock crow he said."
The old man and the boy are neighbors upstairs and downstairs in the same unit.
The boy once knocked on everyone's door in the whole building because of this problem.
Want to find the source of the cock's crow.
That time was the first time the old man talked to a boy.
……
The boy is the new tenant upstairs.
A newcomer to the workplace who has just graduated.
I usually leave early and come back late.
Like many tenants who come and go, they have no interaction with the aborigines. The old man especially remembers the urgent knock on the door that morning...
……
When he opened the door, he saw a boy with red eyes and eye-catching dark circles.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the boy is in a bad mood.
At that time, the old man almost thought that the boy was a bad person who came to look for trouble.
If his response hadn't been a little slow, he would have immediately wanted to close the door and call the police.
But later, the boy's polite words made the old man understand that he had misunderstood.
……
After hearing the boy's intention, the old man forgot all his precautions.
His eyes widened in surprise.
What weird question?
Chicken, cock crow?
The boy asked him if he heard the crow of the rooster?
The old man almost thought he heard wrongly.
He also asked the other person's question again.
Turns out he heard it right.
It's such a weird question.
He shook his head.
He didn't hear the rooster crow.
Where did the chicken come from in the city-
oh.
An idea flashed in the old man's mind.
Did some family in the building buy the live chicken?
Or brought from home...
Haven't gotten rid of the chicken yet.
The shouting voice was heard by the boy.
……
I know that this boy looks a little haggard now because he can't sleep well due to the noise of the rooster...
The look that made the old man fearful at first made him feel sympathy.
But...
Do boys sleep so lightly when they are young?
Even the old man like him was not affected.
Hmm.
He heard nothing at all.
It is sometimes troublesome for young people to have good ears.
……
The old man asked the boy to ask other families.
Seeing the boy trying to suppress his bad temper, the old man comforted the boy that the chicken would be disposed of soon.
Maybe the boys won't hear the rooster crow tonight.
Unexpectedly, the boys had some fierce rebuttals...
The boys thought so too at first.
Just force yourself to be patient.
But several days passed, and the crow of the chicken never disappeared.
He tossed and turned in bed.
It felt like the crow of the chicken penetrated into his brain and hit his nerves one after another.
His head was pounding.
He felt like he was being driven crazy.
He is very tired.
But still couldn't fall asleep completely.
When I was half asleep and half awake, I could hear the crow of chickens.
I don't have a good night's rest and I have no energy during the day.
His condition worsened as the days of poor rest increased.
His temper was getting worse.
Like gunpowder, it ignites at a moment's notice.
He knew he couldn't continue like this...
……
He also made a lot of efforts.
He wore earplugs and played loud music...
When he slept, he closed all the doors and windows, leaving no gaps...
He is even considering whether to build a soundproof room...
certainly.
This idea is crazy.
He was just thinking.
He doesn't have that much money.
He wouldn't go to such great lengths to fight in a rented house.
……
But I don’t know if it’s my own psychological effect?
Or is the crow of the chicken really so penetrating...
He always felt that there was a cock crow echoing in his mind.
No matter how much he covered his ears, it was of no use.
He's going crazy.
……
He knew he had to solve the problem at its root.
Even though he is not a sociable person, in order to sleep in the future, he started visiting all the homes in the building one by one.
He is determined to find out the source of the cock's crow.
……
pity.
So far, the boys have gained nothing.
Every house he visited was like the old man in front of him, and no one among them heard the crow of the rooster like him.
He was surprised.
Also very unexpected.
How could it be...
Such an obvious chicken crow...
If it wasn't so obvious, why would he be so distressed?
No one else heard it except him? !
He didn't believe it.
He will definitely find the second person who heard the rooster's crow!
