Chapter 1650 The Old Man’s Monologue

The old man looked up suddenly, still a little frightened.

"...Xiao-Xiao?"

The old man was stunned for a moment before he slowly called out the name of the young man opposite him.

"it's me."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

……

"That……"

The old man was speechless.

She unconsciously looked behind Xiao Xiao, looking for something.

But soon, a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

There was nothing behind Xiao Xiao.

That is to say...

The old man's heart tightened.

"Xiaoxiao, that...child..."

The old man changed his name to "Monster..."

"Little ghost..."

The old woman changed her address again, as if she was afraid that Xiao Xiao didn't understand who she was talking about.

"it……"

"It won't be here again."

Xiao Xiao took over the old man's words.

The old man was taken aback.

The voice trembled slightly, "Is that so..."

"it……"

The old man closed his mouth.

She was a little afraid to ask further.

It turned out that she actually knew it in her heart.

From the moment she chose to leave, the child's fate was determined.

only……

"That child..."

The old man whispered, "It has been with me for many years."

"I lost my son, my daughter-in-law, my grandson."

"The old man is gone too."

"I am the only one left in the house."

".Home is still home."

“The people inside are gone.”

"I am uncomfortable."

"It's so uncomfortable...it's like I'm used to it."

“It’s not that hard anymore.”

"I'll walk downstairs."

“I’ve come to love feeding cats.”

"Then, the child came..."

"That child doesn't look good."

“I was also shocked at first.”

"I don't know why, but the kid seemed very happy to see me startled."

“I don’t know whose child that is.”

“I’ve never seen it in the neighborhood before.”

"Although I am old and my memory is getting worse."

"But such a unique child, once you have seen him, you will never forget him."

"But the old woman didn't care."

"I just thought that this kid looks like he probably doesn't go out much, right?"

"The next day, the old woman met the child again when she went to feed the cat."

"It just sat quietly beside the old woman, watching her feed the cat with a curious look on its face."

“I started talking to it.”

"Gradually, we became familiar with each other."

"But it's mostly the old woman who's nagging."

"It's rare to find someone who has the patience to stay with this old woman."

"I'm actually very happy."

"Especially later on, I wondered if this child was my grandson who was worried about his grandmother and changed his appearance to stay by her side?"

"It's about the same age as my grandson was when he left."

“Even their heights are about the same.”

"The difference is that my grandson is much cuter."

The old man finally smiled, "Everyone who sees my grandson praises how good-looking and cute he is."

……

"That kid is always alone."

The smile on the old man's face faded, and a sigh came out of his voice. "I think maybe because of his appearance, he was isolated by other children."

"And I haven't seen the child's parents." "I wonder if the child's parents also dislike the child's ugliness and don't like it?"

"This child is alone, just like me."

“I feel even more compassion for it.”

“I always thought he was a good kid.”

The old man looked at the light spot swaying slightly on the ground, his expression dazed, "I'm not feeling well."

"You can't stay outside for long."

"Usually I just feed the cat and go back."

"But after I met that child, I wanted to spend more time with it."

"I didn't want the kid to know that I was not feeling well."

"But……"

The old man smiled bitterly, "I can't control my body."

"Sometimes when the wind blows, I start coughing."

"The cough is pretty severe."

"That kid knows I'm not feeling well."

"If they see me staying for too long, they will leave on their own."

“The first time I thought something was wrong.”

"Later, I gradually understood the kindness of that child."

The old man's eyes curved slightly.

"It will also sit in the wind's vent to help me block the wind."

"Once it was raining, and I don't know where the kid got a big banana leaf from, and used it to cover my head."

She still remembered how she felt at that time, and she couldn't help laughing. After all, the child looked really funny at that time.

Such a small body and such a big banana leaf.

She almost thought that the banana leaf was blown by the wind.

Who would have thought that there was a villain underneath.

But, rather than being amused, she felt more... warmth.

She wanted to take the child home at that time.

Her house is nearby, just a few steps away.

Let the children hide from the rain and help them wipe their faces and bodies that are wet from the rain.

But when the child saw her take the banana leaf, he turned and ran away.

She couldn't stop even if she was called out.

She thought the child had gone home.

Although I was a little worried, I had no choice but to turn around and go home.

The banana leaf is still in her home.

Whenever she saw the banana leaf, she couldn't help but smile.

This is a child's sincere love for her.

……

“He’s a really good kid.”

The old man murmured, "Why..."

The old man reached out and wiped the corners of his eyes.

The eye circles are slightly red.

It was obviously the child who helped her get over the grief of losing her loved ones... It was obviously such a considerate child...

"Why……"

The old man took a deep breath and shook his head, "I don't know..."

“It turns out that the reason why the children in the community had an unexplained high fever was because of this.”

She has lived in this community for a long time.

She has always heard about the children in the community.

I was a little worried, but I didn't take it too seriously.

But after having a grandson, she started to care a little.

She once met a mother who had lost her child on her way back from shopping.

In the past, she had met this mother many times holding her child's hand and sending her child to kindergarten in the morning.

She had no contact with them.

But the picture of mother and son holding hands always makes people smile.

She remembered the mother and son.

She still remembered that she had seen the child not long ago, carrying a brand new schoolbag and with a bright smile on his face.

The child went to primary school.

Unexpectedly, the bad news came a few days later.

The child's mother looked extremely haggard.

Her red and swollen eyes showed that she had been crying for a long time.

They are moving.

Leave this sad place.

At that time, she just looked at the young mother across the crowd of people who were comforting her, her heart filled with sadness.

Unexpectedly, she soon lost her grandson as well.

Not just her grandson, but also her son and her daughter-in-law.

Her world collapsed in an instant.
