Chapter 1771: Conjecture, Regret and Doubt
"What the child just said"

The old man rubbed his forehead and said, "The child's experience"

Reminiscing about the past can be a bit stressful for older people.

“I felt something familiar from the beginning.”

"But I still don't understand why?"

"I pondered over it."

“Then it suddenly occurred to me.”

"I think of Xiao Bai."

"I remembered that Xiaobai once said something very similar to Leilei."

“They all saw the tiger.”

“But they were the only ones who saw the tiger.”

"We didn't see the tiger Xiaobai pointed out at that time."

"You don't see the tiger opposite Lei Lei now."

"so similar"

The old man had a complicated look on his face, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

“One person’s experience doesn’t mean anything.”

“But two people.”

“I was thinking, maybe.”

The old man looked at the old lady and said, "They are not lying."

"Xiao Bai didn't lie."

"Leilei didn't lie."

“They saw the tiger.”

“But this is no ordinary tiger.”

"Not just any tiger?"

The old lady murmured.

"Ah."

The old man nodded and said, "I think that's a tiger that only a small number of people can see."

"Luckily, they are among that small minority."

“So they saw it.”

“And we are not part of that small minority.”

“So we didn’t see it.”

"."

The old lady opened her mouth.

She has many questions.

I also have a lot to ask.

But when the words came to her lips, she didn't know what to ask first?

She took a deep breath.

Her brain was a little confused.

No.

It's very confusing.

The old lady frowned and pressed her temple.

She needs some sorting out.

It also needs to be slow.

".you mean"

The old lady pursed her lips and said, "Leilei saw it."

"Dirty stuff?"

Did her vague worries come true?
She was just saying those words.

What time is it now?
As an old woman, she no longer believes in ghosts and gods.

The son does not talk strangely and forcefully.

It’s just that there are some things that, even if you don’t believe in them, you’d better avoid them.

That's why she was so opposed to her child going to the forest that made the child strange.

……

The old man was stunned.

Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That's not what I meant."

"Rather than saying something unclean..."

"I prefer..."

The old man considered his words carefully, "Something like a magical creature."

"Magical creatures?"

The old lady's eyes widened slightly, "What?"

"Cough cough~"

The old man cleared his throat, "Like an elf... a monster or something?"

"Elves?"

"monster?"

The old lady looked at him strangely, "Old man, why didn't I know you were so childlike?"

The old man rolled his eyes, "I'm serious."

"And it's just my guess."

"I don't know what the tiger that Xiaobai and Leilei saw was." "But I think they saw the same tiger, right?"

"After all, we saw it in the same place."

"I did not expect that……"

The old man was very emotional, "After so many years, I actually heard from my grandson the words that I thought were lies when I was a child."

"Do not."

The old man shook his head. "What lie?"

"It's just that I didn't see it."

"It doesn't mean they lied."

He understands this now.

He didn't understand this when he was still young.

The old man felt a little guilty about Xiaobai, the friend he thought of again.

Because I doubted my friend at that time.

Moreover, he did not keep his promise to his friends at that time.

He had clearly promised Xiaobai that he would tell Tiger that Xiaobai was sick and couldn't keep the appointment today...

He clearly knew... Xiaobai had to leave home even with a high fever, and even if he couldn't stand steadily, he still wanted to go see the tiger...

Xiaobai cares so much about the tiger.

If it weren't for my physical condition, I really couldn't do anything...

He clearly saw Xiao Bai like this...

Even now, he could still vaguely recall Xiaobai's sparkling eyes because of his promise.

he……

The old man pursed his lips -
But he let Xiaobai down.

In the end nothing was done.

He didn't even go looking in the woods.

From the beginning, he knew that he would not be able to convey the message since he had never seen a tiger.

Xiaobai may have forgotten this because he was sick and his mind was dizzy.

He didn't forget.

But at that time he was only thinking about taking Xiaobai back, so naturally he agreed to everything first.

Now think about it, what if I didn’t see the tiger?

It doesn’t matter if we can’t find the tiger.

At least he tried hard to keep his promise to Xiaobai.

At least... he can roar in the woods.

Maybe the tiger heard it?

The old man sighed, with a look of regret on his face.

At that time, I chose the most labor-saving and irresponsible way.

……

"Old man."

The old lady comforted the old man, "It happened so long ago. It's no use regretting it now."

"Besides, the tiger thing is just your guess. We don't know if it's true or not."

Even if there is such a coincidence... maybe it is just a coincidence?
"It's not about whether the tiger is real or not."

The old man shook his head and said, "I broke my promise."

"Okay, how old were you then?"

The old lady said gently, "Children are bound to make mistakes."

"Besides, didn't you say that your friend never came to the village again?"

"Then he has never been to the woods behind the mountain again, right?"

The old lady had a clear mind. "In that case, even if you had told him something at that time, he would not have gone to see the tiger again."

"Although this can't be used as an excuse to say you did nothing wrong."

"But at least from the results, your behavior did not cause any bad damage to your friends."

"Has he forgotten about the tiger himself?"

The old lady's words comforted the old man somewhat.

Speaking of this, he also felt a little strange.

"Xiaobai obviously cares about that tiger..."

"Why didn't you come back later?"

The old man couldn't figure it out.

Moreover, Xiaobai and the tiger have an appointment to meet.

That agreement doesn't mean that if we don't meet today, we will never see each other again, right?
Xiaobai is not a person who would forget a promise.

There is nothing you can do about not being able to keep an appointment because of illness.

But after he recovered, he did not come to fulfill his promise...

"why?"

The old man muttered.

"You have to ask me about this."

The old lady shook her head, "But..."

"But what?"

The old man asked, "Did you think of something?"
