Chapter 1774 Hesitation
Then, a big smile of surprise and joy appeared on the child's face, "Rainbow!"
There was a beautiful rainbow above the steamy waterfall.
The bright colors light up the children's eyes.
……
Later, the child recalled that the reason why he embarked on the road of "wandering" and visited the scenery in various places was probably because of this experience?
Happy time always flies by.
It was not until the child heard the rumbling sound of his stomach that he realized that an entire morning had passed.
Thinking that he had run away suddenly, the child gave up the idea of going back at night.
Grandpa and grandma will be worried.
Moreover, the purpose of coming out has been achieved.
The tiger is real.
When the child thought of this, he couldn't help but smile foolishly.
……
"Ow~"
The tiger bent down.
The child slid off the tiger's back.
"Tiger, I want to go home for dinner."
The child was very reluctant to leave, "Can we play together in the afternoon?"
The child's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
The tiger looked at the child for a while.
Then nodded.
It will play with the child for a while before things get troublesome.
"Great!"
The children cheered.
"Then I'll come to the woods to find you this afternoon."
"You have to show up earlier this time."
The child remembered his anxiety in the morning and couldn't help but admonish the tiger.
Then he muttered quietly, "How come it's so hard to find such a big tiger..."
Tiger rolled his eyes.
It used its tail to push the child towards the entrance of the woods.
The child looked at the tiger's tail with interest.
I reached out and wanted to grab it.
But the tail suddenly disappeared from his hand.
The child looked regretful.
Such a long tail is so flexible.
The child looked at the tiger.
When he wanted to say something else, he found that the tiger turned and left.
The tail, which is longer than the body, is wrapped around it.
Is it to prevent him from grabbing its tail?
The child guesses.
Watching the tiger's back gradually going away, the child smiled.
He didn't leave the forest until he could no longer see the tiger.
……
Before he got home, the child was very excited, thinking that his grandparents were wrong and he was not wrong.
Tigers are real.
After arriving home, the child hesitated when he sensed the unusual aura of the two elderly people.
He was worried that his grandparents would not let him go find the tiger.
So, should we lie to our grandparents?
The child was hesitant.
It is wrong to tell lies.
However, he finally became friends with the tiger.
He didn't want to be unable to play with the tiger in the future.
……
Seeing the child's confusion, the old man glanced at the old woman sideways.
It was this old woman who scared the child before.
It makes the children afraid to even tell them the truth.
The old lady rolled her eyes.
She was just worried and confused.
When she was a child, she didn't have a friend named Xiaobai who could let her know that her grandson's words might not be nonsense.
……
The old man withdrew his gaze and smiled gently at the child.
"Leilei, don't worry."
"As long as you tell the truth, grandpa and grandma will believe you."
"……real?"
The child still remembers what happened before.
What he said at that time was true, but my grandparents didn't believe him.
"real."
The old man nodded seriously, "Grandpa promises."
"Grandpa and grandma were so surprised before."
"I didn't react for a moment."
"and-"
The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes relaxed, "Thanks to Leilei, grandpa remembered something."
"Remember something?"
The child was puzzled, "What's the matter?" "When my grandfather was a child, he had a friend..."
Now is not the time to keep the secret, so the old man told the story of Xiaobai directly.
"He also told grandpa that he saw a tiger in the woods behind the mountain."
"Really?"
The child opened his mouth in surprise.
"real."
The old man squatted down and looked into the child's eyes. "But grandpa didn't believe him at the time."
“And we didn’t keep our promise to him.”
"…What promise?"
The child blinked.
"He was ill at the time and could not keep his appointment with Tiger."
"He asked Grandpa to tell Tiger about this."
"But grandpa thought the tiger he was talking about didn't exist at all and was a lie, so he didn't help him pass on the message."
"did not expect……"
The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head. "After so many years, I heard the same words from my own grandson, from your mouth."
"Grandpa began to doubt whether he was wrong from the beginning."
“It’s not like tigers don’t exist.”
"It's just that grandpa didn't see it."
"is it?"
The old man's eyes revealed a hint of annoyance and uncertainty.
The child pursed his lips.
“…The tiger is real.”
“I saw the tiger again.”
"The tiger took me to play in the woods."
"And took me to see the waterfall..."
Talking about his experience in the morning, the child danced with joy and his face became more and more excited. "I also saw a rainbow."
"Tiger pointed it out to me."
“Super beautiful!”
……
"is it?"
The old man listened to the child's story quietly.
The child's happiness also infected him, his brows relaxed and he also smiled.
The old lady stood aside with the corners of her mouth raised.
……
"I made an appointment with the tiger and will play with it this afternoon!"
After he finished speaking, the child paused.
He looked at his grandparents cautiously.
He had run away on his own before.
I wonder if it was his misunderstanding?
Did he feel like his grandmother was chasing him at that time?
But he didn't see his grandmother chasing after him later.
He thought that he must have been wrong.
But no matter what, he knew that his grandparents didn't like him going to look for tigers.
How come he blurted out that he was going to play with the tiger in the afternoon?
He is not sure yet about his grandparents' attitude towards his search for the tiger.
The child regretted it deeply.
Suddenly I felt a heaviness on my head.
He looked up.
The old man withdrew his hand that had just touched the child's head and smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Leilei likes tigers very much?"
The child was a little unsure of what his grandfather meant.
After thinking about it, he nodded honestly.
"like."
"Tigers are beautiful and handsome."
“It helped me a lot.”
"He also showed me fireflies, waterfalls, and rainbows."
When he said this, the child's eyes shone brightly.
"Ah."
The old man nodded, "Tiger sounds good."
"Tiger is very good."
The child stressed.
"Grandpa-"
The child looked at the old man anxiously, "Can I play with the tiger?"
"can."
The old man's straightforward answer stunned the child.
Oh~~~!
Can?!
".Really?"
The child stumbled when speaking.
Did you agree to him so easily?
He thought.
The child pursed his lips.
He was prepared for a long battle.
