Chapter 2290 Another Gift
He must be dazzled.

Xu Qingzhu shook his head at Xu Zizhen, "It's okay."

Oh.

Xu Zizhen withdrew his gaze.

……

Xu Qingzhu's mouth just curved up -
Ok?
He was slightly startled.

This is……

He stretched out his hand.

A crimson maple leaf slowly fell into his palm.

Is it a coincidence?

Xu Qingzhu looked up at the maple tree in front of him.

Just then a breeze blew by, and the maple leaves rustled.

Except for the maple leaf in his hand, no other maple leaves fell.

……

"Hey, uncle, where did you get this maple leaf?"

The wind just now was a little blinding. Xu Zizhen tilted his head slightly and caught a glimpse of bright red out of the corner of his eye.

He looked closely and saw a beautiful maple leaf lying in his uncle's hand.

Really beautiful.

The color is crimson and the shape is exquisite, just like a handicraft made by human beings, but with a touch of agility.

……

"It fell down by itself."

Xu Qingzhu picked up the stem of the maple leaf and looked at it carefully.

Well.

I'll bookmark it when I get back.

……

"Did you drop it yourself?"

Xu Zizhen was a little envious, "How could such a beautiful maple leaf fall down?"

It stands to reason that fallen leaves have more or less some flaws.

The good leaves will not fall off.

"Uncle, you really didn't pick them yourself?"

Xu Zizhen was suspicious.

……

"how is this possible?"

Xu Qingzhu laughed, "Why would I pick the leaves of a spiritual maple tree?"

Yes.

Xu Zizhen also knew it.

He was just saying it casually.

I know in my heart that it's impossible.

This maple tree is a spiritual maple.

Just forget it if you don’t know.

After knowing this, who would dare to pick leaves casually?

Anyway, he doesn't dare.

"Uncle, you are so lucky."

Xu Zizhen envied, "I also want a leaf as beautiful as this."

In fact, he has been "coveting" Lingfeng's leaves for a long time.

He couldn't see Ling Feng, so it would be good to have a leaf as a commemoration.

Unfortunately, he had the desire but not the courage.

Every time I can only look at the maple tree with envy.

Hoping to "find a bargain" one day.

Unexpectedly, the thing he had thought about countless times in his mind happened to his uncle.

Ah ~
Xu Zizhen was a little angry.

Did God get the wrong person?
Obviously, he was the one who had always hoped so.

Xu Zizhen opened his arms.

Xu Qingzhu raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing?"

"Wait until the leaves fall into my hands."

Xu Zizhen stared at the maple tree seriously.

Xu Qingzhu: …

The old man couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Idiot."

The old lady couldn't help but narrow her eyes and laugh.

This stupid kid.

……

Xu Zizhen, who became a "laughing stock": ...

The corners of his mouth twitched, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"How about uncle..."

Xu Zizhen smiled with a flattering look on his face, "Can you give me this leaf?"

"Didn't you get the leaf Ling Feng gave you before?"

"Then give me this leaf that fell by itself!"

……

"This leaf was also given to Uncle Xu by Ling Feng."

Xiao Xiao arched his eyebrows at Ling Feng who was looking at him.

……

"……Why?"

Xu Zizhen's face fell.

"This leaf was also given to uncle by Lingfeng. Didn't it fall off by itself?"

……

Xu Qingzhu was a little surprised.

He subconsciously looked at the maple tree.

Then he looked at Master Xiao again, "But I didn't do anything this time..."

Last time, he found Master Xiao because he noticed that Ling Feng was in a bad mood, which could be considered as a small favor to Ling Feng.

So Ling Feng gave him a leaf as a thank you gift.

Xu Qingzhu's hand couldn't help but rest on the pocket of his shirt near his heart.

He kept the gift close to his heart.

Because Master Xiao said it was a gift similar to a talisman. But this time, he was told everything after the incident was over.

He obviously didn't do anything...

Ling Feng...why did you give him a gift again?
……

“Sometimes you don’t need a reason to give a gift.”

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "If it wants to give you a gift, it will give you a gift."

Xu Qingzhu was stunned.

Then the smile spread from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows to his face.

"Ling Feng."

He looked up at Maple, "Thank you for the gift."

"I will cherish it."

……

"Susu~"

The maple leaves move without wind.

It seemed to be a response to Xu Qingzhu's words.

……

The smile in Xu Qingzhu's eyes deepened a little more.

He carefully collected the maple leaf.

……

The old man was stunned as he saw such a scene for the first time.

The leaves fell by themselves...

There was wind just now...

But it was only a breeze.

Where can the leaves be blown down?
There is still no sign of wilting on the leaves.

The leaves are not so easy to blow.

……

Is this really a gift from a monster?

The old man and the old lady looked at each other at the same time.

The other party's surprise and disbelief were reflected in those somewhat turbid eyes.

Although they have somewhat accepted the idea that this maple tree is a monster...

They had seen such a magical scene before...

Speaking of shocking... the scene of leaves falling into people's hands is certainly not as shocking as the previous "dead tree coming back to life".

But they still took a hit.

They even felt that this time they were touched even more.

To give the reason...

The two old men couldn't quite put it into words either.

Maybe... it’s because there were people... and monsters in the picture just now.

A connection was established between humans and demons...

The old lady suddenly laughed.

"what happened?"

The old man was a little confused.

"I just feel... relieved."

The old lady's eyebrows were curved.

Although the story told by my grandson is very good, but...

The other party is a monster.

Does the other party really have no ill intentions?
The only thing that Qingzhu did wrong was that incident.

Maybe she was overthinking...

She always felt a little uneasy.

However, the scene just now dispelled her last concerns.

……

"You."

The old man smiled knowingly, "I like to overthink everything."

"If something really happened, it would have happened a long time ago."

"It's been so many years..."

The children back then have already started their own families and careers...

"Just relax."

"Ah."

The old lady nodded.

She knew it.

From now on, in her heart, this maple tree is not only a monster, but also a friend of her son.

They were also neighbors who had lived together for such a long time.

……

The old man grinned.

He slapped his grandson on the back with his backhand.

"What are you mumbling about?"

……

"Ouch~"

Xu Zizhen almost stumbled.

"grandfather!"

Xu Zizhen steadied himself.

The old man curled his lips, "It's useless."

The old lady was unhappy, "You old man, why are you bullying my grandson?"

Old man:......

That's also his grandson.

Besides, did he bully his grandson?

He just took a casual shot.

This kid was too focused on his thoughts, so he reacted so strongly.

……

Xu Zizhen smiled at the old man with a little pride.

Seeing that the old man's face was getting worse, he quickly changed the subject, "I just have a little..."
