Chapter 1644 Not a human?
Thinking of the conversation he heard on the way here, Xiao Xiao's face became a little cold.

For unknown reasons, the old man's heart skipped a beat.

She reached out and touched her heart.

He frowned in some surprise.

But she didn't think deeply about it.

She followed the young man's gaze.

The eyes opened wider and wider.

The little ghost hid behind the old man.

Xiao Xiao's gaze made it feel as if its whole body was exposed to the sun.

Very nasty feeling.

The uneasiness in its heart was gradually spreading.

The hands that were holding grandma's clothes unconsciously exerted a little more force.

Then, it felt a warmth enveloping it.

It was stunned.

It looked at its hand. The hand on it.

The old hands are covered with age spots.

It doesn't look good when it's wrinkled.

But it was very warm, and it also made its heart, which was about to jump out of its throat, slowly fall back to its original place.

grandmother
It raised its head and looked at the old man in a daze.

The old man smiled gently at the little ghost.

Eyes narrowed.

The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes smooth out.

There are also age spots scattered on the old man's face, just like on his hands.

But it also feels the same warmth as the hand gives it.

Seeing that the child's emotions had calmed down, the old man turned and looked at Xiao Xiao.

There was something strange in his eyes.

This young man was the first person she had met who, besides herself, had been able to see the child.

This also made the old man feel a little relieved.

This kid is not fake.

Not her fantasy.

But it is real.

As to why other people, no, most people couldn't see the child, she didn't know.

She didn't really care.

She is the one who has almost put her second foot into the coffin.

I no longer have the energy to be curious.

The child came to her and stayed with her, and that alone made her happy.

"young people."

The old man said, "You"

She looked at the child hiding behind her and asked, "Can you see this child?"

Then she smiled and joked, "This child is still shy."

"Do not be afraid."

She gently comforted the child behind her, "Xiaoxiao is a good person."

Almost all the regular customers of Xiao’s Teahouse know Xiaoxiao.

Her physical condition began to deteriorate the year Xiaoxiao was admitted to university.

She hardly goes out anymore.

Except downstairs.

She had heard a lot about Xiaoxiao from other guests.

The most promising kid in the neighborhood.

He had excellent grades since childhood and was even admitted to Yenching University.

Great.

She once felt a little regretful that she had no fate with that child.

I went to the teahouse several times but never saw the child.

Unexpectedly, last week she suddenly wanted to eat the dim sum at Xiao's Teahouse, and she met Xiaoxiao, whom she had only heard of but never seen.

She doesn't know the rest.

But Xiaoxiao is indeed a very polite and considerate child.

Is a good boy.

"Won't hurt you."

The old man’s aesthetic taste is not really different from that of ordinary people.

She knew that the child's appearance must have caused it a lot of suffering.

She felt a little distressed.

This child has been with her for a long time.

She knew that the child was a good child.

Even though he is not very outspoken, he is a gentle child.

"No."

"what?"

The old man looked at Xiao Xiao in confusion.

What did this child just say?
"It's not like I won't hurt it."

Xiao Xiao was frank about his purpose.

In order to avoid causing more harm, this matter cannot be delayed any longer.

".What?"

The old man almost suspected that he had heard it wrongly. "What do you mean?"

"you"

The old man felt that he must have misunderstood, "Are you going to hurt him?"

"why?"

The old man's voice rose slightly.

"What did he do?"

"You can't hate it just because of the way he looks and think he's a bad kid."

"He's a good kid."

The old man explained seriously.

He used his thin body to protect the little ghost child behind him.

The old man felt a little disappointed.

Children nowadays like to judge people by their appearance.

Obviously, this young man doesn't look like someone who would judge people by their appearance.

Is it true that you can’t judge a book by its cover?

She had just been comforting the child behind her, saying that the young man was a good person.

But in the blink of an eye, the young man's words slapped her in the face.

She doesn't understand.

Don't like to stay away.

Why bully?

The old man's protection surprised the little ghost.

Although this is what it hopes for and what it expects
It looked at the old man's extremely thin back.

His back, which was originally hunched, was now straight.

Just as the old man said unwaveringly.

It lowered its eyes, feeling a little strange.

"Grandma Zhang."

Xiao Xiao was not surprised by the old man's reaction and looked calm.

He didn't look at the child ghost.

Instead, he met the old man's gaze that was faintly accusing.

"Do the children in this community always have inexplicable high fevers?"

".ah?"

The old man was stunned.

She had no idea what the young man meant by this.
Why did you say this at this time?
Is she too old and unable to keep up with the thinking of young people?

She subconsciously chewed over the young man's words.

this matter.
Actually, it’s not a secret.

She nodded.

Although some people say that the feng shui of this community is bad, after all, now is not the same as before, and people are not so superstitious.

Most people say it, but not many people really take it to heart.

I just took better care of my children.

The old man looked bewildered.

"What do you ask for this?"

"Grandma Zhang."

Xiao Xiao's sight finally fell on the child ghost again, "Do you know what it is?"

"what?"

The old woman felt that the young man in front of her was saying something that confused her. "No, what what what is it?"

"What's wrong with this kid?"

"Anyway, what you just said was very rude."

What is he called?
How can you talk about people like that?
The old man was a little angry.

"Sorry, I used the wrong word."

Xiao Xiao admitted his mistake.

"I meant it literally."

"literal meaning?"

The old man frowned and thought for a while, then smiled bitterly, "Young man, just say what you want to say."

"I am old, and my brain is not working well anymore."

"I really don't understand what you're saying."

"Grandma Zhang."

Since the old man said so, Xiao Xiao was also very straightforward, "The person next to you is not a human being."

"No"

The old man's voice was a little distorted, with a harsh edge to it, "Not a human?!"

The old man took a deep breath.

The expression on his face became serious for the first time, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"An old woman can't stand a joke."

"I'm not joking."

Xiao Xiao looked serious.

"you"

The old man suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, "Is it a ghost?"

"Is this child a ghost?"

The old man looked at the child behind him, then looked at Xiao Xiao, his expression filled with surprise and excitement.
