Chapter 2221 Grandfather and Grandson. Continued

"Of course I asked."

Boss Bai shrugged helplessly, "But he asked me to ask you."

"Said that if you would tell me, I would know all the answers."

After a slight pause, the old man smiled and shook his head, "As expected, you are Xiao Xiao, no, Master Xiao."

“It’s just thoughtful.”

He was indeed a little hesitant about whether to tell his grandson the whole thing.

A monster.

The Arabian Nights became reality.

But for those who cannot see monsters, they cannot see them even if they know there are monsters.

So, is it better not to know?
But then I thought about how I had been haunted by my brother's last words for most of my life.
Although the two situations cannot be compared.

Maybe in a few days my grandson will forget that he asked himself this question.

The old man decided to tell his grandson everything.

It was the grandson who brought Master Xiao.

He believed that his grandson should know the truth.

“We talked about jade balls.”

"Jade ball?"

Boss Bai was surprised.

In fact, I had a vague idea of ​​this in my heart.

After all, the only connection he could think of between his grandfather and Master Xiao was the jade ball.

just
"What did you talk about the jade ball?"

"Didn't I take the jade ball away at that time?"

Since we were talking about the jade ball, why didn’t you come down and ask him for it?
……

“I wanted to come get it…”

The old man reached out and touched the weeping crabapple tree that was in full bloom.

This is the only weeping crabapple tree in the yard.

It was planted by the old woman before she died.

Always taking good care of it.

Before leaving, she also reminded him to take good care of the weeping crabapple tree.

"Master Xiao stopped me."

"He said……"

The old man recounted his conversation with Master Xiao.

……

As the old man spoke, Mr. Bai's expression changed.

He opened his mouth.

But the old man waved at him.

He closed his mouth.

There was no interruption of the old man.

……

"All right."

The old man turned to his grandson and smiled, "I'm done."

"You can ask anything you want to ask."

……

"grandfather……"

Boss Bai swallowed his saliva.

For a moment, I didn't know what to ask.

However, the hesitation only lasted for a few moments.

Boss Bai took a deep breath.

The absurd feeling in my heart cannot be dispelled.

There was also a hint of absurdity on his face.

"……monster?"

This is a high-end villa residential area.

The houses are quite far apart.

In the quiet courtyard late at night, Boss Bai felt that even the slightest emotion in his voice was amplified to the maximum.

Listening to his own voice, he actually felt a sense of strangeness.

"Cough cough~"

Boss Bai touched his neck and cleared his throat a few times.

"grandfather."

There were still some strange sounds that made Boss Bai frown.

He coughed a few more times.

……

The old man shook his head. "Look at what you have accomplished."

"Are you so surprised?"

……

As for...are you so surprised?

Boss Bai curled the corner of his mouth.

Although he wanted to express his opinion calmly, the voice that came out of his mouth was a little out of control.

"Of course!"

"Grandpa, do you know what you just said?"

"It's a monster!"

"You say……"

Boss Bai raised the jade ball in his hand and said, "You said there is a monster in this jade ball?!"

"Yes, there was one."

The old man corrected his grandson, “It’s gone now.”

……

"..."

Boss Bai twitched his lips, "Grandpa, this is not the point now!"

"The point is the monster!"

"You just said monster!"

……

"What's wrong with the monster?" The old man's question made Boss Bai's temple jump violently.

"What happened to the monster?"

"grandfather!"

"How could you accept the monster's words so easily?"

Boss Bai looked at the calm old man in disbelief, "How could monsters exist in the world?!"

"Monsters are made up by humans!"

"is fake!"

Boss Bai became more and more excited as he spoke.

"What age are you in now?"

"How did you..."

Is it that Master Xiao is too eloquent?
Why does the old man seem to believe the monster's words?
……

"How do you know the monster is fake?"

The old man was not surprised that his grandson was so old and even had a somewhat intense reaction.

"Of course the monster is fake!"

Boss Bai blurted out.

……

"So, what evidence do you have for this?"

It was a rare occasion for the old man to see his grandson so emotionally exposed.

A slight smile appeared in his eyes.

……

"evidence?"

Boss Bai was stunned.

Isn't this a matter of course?

If he really wants to produce some evidence...

"Then what evidence do you have to prove that monsters exist?"

"Just based on a few words from Master Xiao?"

"Did you see the monster?"

Boss Bai carefully recalled what the old man had said before, "Didn't you say you didn't see it?"

……

"Well, I didn't see it."

The old man nodded.

"Then you..."

Boss Bai opened his eyes wide.

Since he didn’t even see it, how could the old man believe it?

Isn't this strange?

In his impression, the old man was not such a credulous person.

……

“Just because I can’t see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”

The old man's brows relaxed.

The beautifully blooming weeping crabapple made him smile.

……

Mr. Bai: ...

This is the truth.

but……

"How do we know it exists if no one has seen it?"

Isn't this just... imagination?
……

"Who said no one saw it?"

what?
Boss Bai was stunned.

The old man continued, “Didn’t I just say that?”

"My brother saw it."

"Master Xiao also saw it."

……

Boss Bai told himself to be patient.

He took a deep breath, "But aren't these just Master Xiao's one-sided words?"

"Who can guarantee that what he said is true?"

……

"I believe what Master Xiao said is true."

The old man looked serious.

"What he said about his brother was not wrong."

"If there is still a chance to find out these things..."

"Then the many things I said to the jade ball... Logically, no one would know except myself."

"But Master Xiao knows."

"Tell me, apart from the monster in the jade ball telling him, is there any other possibility?"

……

Boss Bai was stunned.

"What did you say to Yuqiu at that time?"

"Yes."

The old man nodded.

"When I first discovered the jade ball, I couldn't figure out what was so special about it, and I couldn't figure out what my brother wanted to convey to me."

"Gradually, I developed the habit of talking to myself in front of the jade ball."

The old man showed some emotion on his face, "At that time, the family had almost returned to peace."

"I don't want my parents to be sad because of my brother's affairs anymore."

"It's just that I still can't let go of my brother's last words."

"…I have no one to talk to about my brother, so I can only talk to a jade ball."

He laughed at himself many times at that time.

Every time I think of it many years later, I feel both sad and funny.

but……
