Chapter 1185 Coma
".real"

The old man stopped laughing, and then he spoke with some difficulty, "It's useless?"

"No."

Xiao Xiao stood quietly where he was and did not approach the old man.

The laughter that didn't sound joyful at all made the emotions in his eyes even more depressed.

He only spoke after hearing the old man's question.

"It's a monster, its meat doesn't have such magical effects."

"Yes, really?"

The old man slowly lowered his hands that were covering his face, "Monster."

"Aren't all monsters spirits?"

"Since it has become a spirit, then-"

"grandfather."

Xiao Xiao interrupted the old man's mumbling and a hint of coldness appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

The snake saved the old man.

The meat of the cricket is of no benefit to the old man's illness.

This result is actually the best result.

There is no need for the old man to make a dilemma.

Perhaps, it is not a dilemma for the old man.

The old man always has only one choice.

However, for him, there is no need to make a dilemma.

Is it to help the old man catch the divine turtle and prolong his life?

Or should you stand on the side of the monster and reject the old man's request?

The old man was a little slow to react after being suddenly interrupted.

He subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him.

But soon, the old man, who couldn't stand the young man's gaze, looked away.

When the blue sea appeared in his eyes, the old man realized that he was somewhat retreating and guilty.

He suddenly became annoyed.

He turned around and glared at the young man not far away, "What are you doing? Do you think I'm selfish?"

"You look down on me, don't you?!"

"young people."

The old man gasped loudly, "You are still young, you don't know-"

"When it comes to survival, everyone is selfish."

"I just want to survive, what's wrong with that?!"

After roaring for a while, the old man seemed a little tired. He whispered to himself, "This time, I will take good care of my child."

"I won't make the same mistake again."

"do you know?"

"When my child first died, I had nightmares every day."

"I dreamed of my bloody child."

"I dreamed that my child told me that he was in pain."

"I dreamed that my child was asking me for help!"

"I want to save him."

"In my dream, I reached out my hand again and again."

"But in the end, all I touched was blood on my hands."

"My child was lying in a pool of blood, dead."

"My mind went blank and I was so sad."

The old man's voice was light and trembling. "I was even hysterical."

"I hate myself for not taking good care of the child at that time."

“But I’m really scared.”

“I wake up in the middle of the night every day.”

“I can’t sleep.”

……

"My wife hates me, too."

"In the end, she didn't even forgive me when she left."

"She didn't say anything though."

"But I know."

……

"I never thought that my life... would end up alone."

"Even though I stopped having nightmares about my child's death, my life didn't get much better."

“I thought this was how I would be for the rest of my life.”

"Just living like this, neither good nor bad."

……

“But then my life took a turn.”

"I won the jackpot!"

"I'm rich!"

"I have a new wife and will soon have a new child." "I have a chance to start my life over again!"

"But!"

The old man's voice got louder again, almost hoarse, "I'm sick!"

"I don't have much time left!"

"How could this be?!"

"How could this be……"

The old man's chest rose and fell violently like an old windmill, and his breathing was harsh and rough.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

The old man's body trembled, and his lips trembled a few times before he spoke with difficulty, "Now, I have begun to dream about the way my child died again."

“I haven’t dreamed of this for a long time.”

"I know what this portends."

The old man's mouth curled up stiffly, "I'm going to see my child."

"He's coming to pick me up."

"But it's too early."

The old man murmured, "It's too early."

"I haven't even seen his brother yet."

"I don't want to see him yet."

"I am afraid."

"I'm too embarrassed to see him."

"I……"

The old man's subsequent words were almost held in his mouth, as if he was just uttering meaningless syllables.

Even with Xiao Xiao's hearing ability, he couldn't hear clearly what the old man said.

He didn't say anything to disturb the old man who seemed to be immersed in his own world.

The death of the child was a great blow to the old man.

The subsequent death of his wife undoubtedly exacerbated the blow.

Even though the old man tried hard to let go, the vague feeling of guilt was always like a leech in his bones.

The child in his current wife's belly is the old man's final self-salvation.

The old man wanted to prove that he was no longer the same person he used to be by taking good care of the child.

……

"Seven years old."

The old man's voice suddenly became clearer, "The child was only seven years old when he died."

"Seven years. I just want to live another seven years."

"I want to take care of this child for seven years."

……

"Dad really didn't mean it."

"Dad, please take good care of your brother and come back to see you, okay?"

The old man looked dazed and spoke incoherently.

Xiao Xiao, who had been silent and expressionless, suddenly moved and supported the old man who was leaning to one side.

The old man who had narrowly escaped death but lost his last hope finally fainted due to overcoming the huge blow.

Looking at the old man's aged and gloomy face, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sigh softly.

……

"Thank you for your help, Naruto."

Xiao Xiao turned his head and looked at the monster who had been quietly watching the development of the situation here.

"We're leaving."

"Are you leaving?"

Naruto felt a little regretful.

This human was the first human being it had encountered after a long time, and he was accompanied by a monster.

It is quite interested in this human being and wants to chat with him more.

It's a pity that this human is leaving so soon.

"If we don't go up, there will be chaos up there."

If Xiao Xiao was alone, he wouldn't mind staying and spending some more time with the monster.

However, so many people on the sea were looking for the missing old man.

In order to avoid more trouble, he should send the old man up as soon as possible.

……

There was no attempt to stop him.

It knew what the human meant.

In fact, it has been very noisy up there from just now until now.

It thought it would be better to go deeper into the seabed later.

The monster looked at Xiao Xiao silently, expressing his farewell without words.

……

Xiao Xiao laughed, "My name is Xiao Xiao."
