Chapter 1636 The Elderly Man Absent from Home
"Let's stop here for now."

"Let the Frog God teach you next."

Xiao Xiao looked at the monster that had been squatting quietly beside him and said, "I'll continue with you when I come back."

"Baa baa~"

The monkey nodded.

"Mee, mee, mee, mee~"

Sir Xiao Xiao, please be careful on the road.

"thanks, I will."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Chirp~"

Lord Xiao Xiao!

The clear cries came from far away and got closer.

Xiao Xiao turned around and saw the pigeon flying towards him at a rapid speed.

And in its claws... was holding his cell phone that he had placed in the room.

Xiao Xiao curved his eyebrows and reached out to take the phone that Yu handed to him.

"Thank you, pigeon."

"I was just trying to get my phone."

Xiao Xiao reached out and gently touched the pigeon's head.

"Chirp~"

The pigeon raised his face, revealing great joy and pride.

……

After saying goodbye to the monster in the yard, Xiao Xiao turned around and closed the door.

He looked at the address on the paper.

There is indeed some distance.

However, not to mention that the old lady asked him to take a taxi, he had originally planned to take a taxi as well.

If you take a taxi, it will only take more than 20 minutes.

Xiao Xiao walked out of the alley and hailed a car.

……

The air conditioning in the car was on high.

But the smell of gasoline is a bit strong.

When they arrived at the destination, Xiao Xiao got off the car impatiently.

He rubbed his temples.

I could just smell a bit of the disgusting gasoline smell lingering in my nose.

He took a deep breath.

Although the scorching hot air is not that comfortable.

Xiao Xiao missed Baimei in the yard a little.

I've gotten used to the cool fragrance of white plum blossoms these days, and when I go outside, I feel a little uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh at himself. It is true that "it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."

……

Xiao Xiao recalled the address on the paper and walked forward.

This is an old neighborhood.

Not dilapidated.

The lush trees have intertwined branches and leaves.

The exterior walls of the apartment buildings are covered with lush ivy.

Small yellow-green flowers bloom on it.

Looking around, there is plenty of greenery.

I just felt that the unbearable heat had dissipated a little.

Arrived.

Xiao Xiao was not surprised to see the access control system.

Unfortunately, on his way here, he saw that many of the doors of the apartment buildings were blocked with stones and remained unlocked.

However, the door of this apartment building was tightly closed.

Xiao Xiao was about to go up and ring the doorbell, but he found that his luck was still good.

He heard footsteps.

Someone is coming downstairs.

Xiao Xiao walked a few steps to the side.

"Click~"

The iron gate was opened, and an old lady with a slightly hunched back and gray hair walked out.

The old lady walked slowly and cautiously.

Holding a bag in his hand.

Xiao Xiao smelled the aroma of food.

When the old lady saw Xiao Xiao outside the door, she was stunned for a moment.

Then, the old man gave Xiao Xiao a kind smile.

Xiao Xiao also smiled at the old man.

He watched the old man's back slowly go away and then disappear around a corner.

He released his hand that had been holding the door open and walked into the apartment building.

"Dong dong~"

Xiao Xiao knocked on the door with a little force.

"Dong dong~"

"Dong dong~"

"dong dong dong~"

Xiao Xiao used more strength in his hands.

There was no sound coming from the door.

He withdrew his hand.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

His grandmother should have told Grandma Zhang the time of his departure.

Logically, Grandma Zhang should be waiting at home for him to bring some snacks.
But what happens now?
Did you leave suddenly for some reason?

Xiao Xiao took out his cell phone and dialed the number he had seen on the paper before.

"Beep~beep~beep, sorry-"

Xiao Xiao hung up the phone. This was trouble.

No one is home.

No one answered the phone again.

Just as Xiao Xiao was thinking about what to do next, the door of the room opposite opened.

She is a thin old lady.

The old man was a little surprised when he saw the young man.

"Are you looking for A-Ming?"

The old man asked without thinking.

Amin?

Xiao Xiao showed his unfamiliarity with the name.

"It's the old lady of this house."

The thin old man pointed at the house behind Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao suddenly realized.

He nodded, "Well, I'll go find Grandma Zhang."

"Yes, that's right, A-Ming's last name is Zhang."

The thin old man muttered to himself.

Then she looked at Xiao Xiao with some suspicion, "Who are you?"

"What do you want from Amin?"

"Never seen you before."

"Are you Amin's relative?"

"No."

Xiao Xiao shook his head, "I came from Xiao's Teahouse."

"Grandma Zhang called and said she wanted to eat dim sum from Xiao's Tea House."

Xiao Xiao raised the snack box in his hand and said, "I brought it to her."

"oh oh."

The thin old man nodded and said, "Xiao's Teahouse. I think I heard about it from Ah Ming."

"But I'm just average about tea."

"The teahouse doesn't seem to be close to here?"

The thin old man looked at Xiao Xiao inquiringly.

Xiao Xiao nodded, "Well, there is some distance."

"right?"

The thin old man laughed and said, "So I have never been to this teahouse."

“I didn’t expect Ming to like the dim sum in this teahouse so much.”

"Please make this trip."

The thin old man's expression softened a little.

"Did you knock on the door?"

the old man asked enthusiastically.

“I knocked.”

Xiao Xiao smiled helplessly, "But no one came to answer the door."

"Maybe Grandma Zhang is out."

"out?"

The old man came over.

"dong dong dong~"

Although the old man looks thin, his hands are very strong.

The knock on the door was much louder than Xiao Xiao's previous knock.

Xiao Xiao was stunned.

Then the smile on his face became more helpless, "Grandma Zhang must have gone out for something."

"Did you tell her before you came?"

The thin old man shook his hands.

Her hands were a little sore from the impact.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded, "Grandma Zhang should know that I'm coming over at this time."

"Then why did she go out?"

The thin old man was puzzled, "She is not the kind of person who would do such a thing."

"Maybe something happened suddenly."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "It's okay, grandma, thank you."

"You go and do your work."

"I'll wait here."

"Hey~"

The thin old man's eyes suddenly lit up as he suddenly thought of something. "Did you call her?"

"beated."

Xiao Xiao was defeated under the old man's expectant gaze.

“But no one answered.”

"what?"

The thin old man looked disappointed, "What is this guy doing? He didn't even bring a cell phone."

"No one can find-"

The thin old man paused, then raised his voice a little, "I know where she went!"

"I should have thought of that earlier."

The old man muttered.

Soon, she looked at Xiao Xiao, "I know where she went."

"follow me."

"Thank you."

Xiao Xiao did not refuse.

This undoubtedly saved him a lot of time, and the thin old man seemed very excited about leading the way for him.

Then he shouldn't discourage the enthusiasm of the elderly.
