Chapter 2388 The Cold Fox
"What surprise are you going to give grandma?"
Apparently the old woman hadn't remembered her conversation with her grandchildren in the morning.
But this does not stop her from looking forward to the surprises her two children will give her.
……
“Grandma, this is what you look forward to the most.”
The boy lowered his voice mysteriously.
……
"What am I most looking forward to?"
The old man is confused.
What she was looking forward to most... How could she-
"You told us many times..."
The girl's eyes widened as she reminded the old man.
……
"I've told you many times?"
The old man frowned, "I don't have any reason to-"
"what."
The old man called out softly.
"Could it be..."
She looked at the two children.
"You mean... the story about the fox I told you?"
……
"That's right!"
The boy couldn't help but snap his fingers.
"Grandma is so smart."
The girl praised.
……
The old man waved his hand, "Wait."
"What do you mean?"
"That is to say... your surprise..."
"Dangdang~"
Before the old man could finish expressing his doubts, the girl came out from behind the baffle.
The fox on the shoulder was also clearly visible to the old man.
……
The old man suddenly opened his eyes wide.
This is……? !
……
The old man's hands began to tremble.
"……picture……".
A low, hoarse voice was squeezed out from the old man's throat with difficulty.
“…They really look alike…”
In a trance, she seemed to have returned to that year and that moment...
Torrential rain.
Water vapor fills the air.
The fox not far away had snow-white fur and its whole body seemed to be glowing.
The beautiful red eyes penetrated the layers of rain and mist and fell directly into her eyes.
It made her forget to breathe.
……
The girl and the boy looked at each other.
There was a hint of "success" in his eyes.
If the occasion wasn't inappropriate, they would have high-fived and cheered.
Jiu really looked like the fox that saved grandma in her memory.
……
The old man raised his hand tremblingly.
Slowly stretched out towards the little fox.
The girl approached with understanding.
She crouched down.
Let her shoulders be level with the bed.
……
When the old man's hand was about to touch the fox -
She only felt a flash before her eyes.
When he looked again, he found that the fox was no longer on the girl's shoulder.
The old man was taken aback.
……
"over there."
The boy soon discovered where the fox was.
He pointed to the end of the bed.
The old man and the girl turned to look.
really.
The little white fox squatted on the railing at the end of the bed in an elegant posture.
Seeing them looking over, the little white fox glanced at them casually and then looked out the window.
Has a rather cold temperament.
……
The girl then remembered what her older brother had said.
"grandmother."
"It's... not very friendly."
She regretted it a little.
Wouldn’t it have been better to let the older brother come along just now?
Although this would require him and his brother to explain a lot of things...
……
"oh oh."
The old man nodded blankly.
I don't like getting close to people...
Yes.
Although it didn't like being close to people, it still saved her at that time.
The old man almost regarded the fox in front of him as his "lifesaver".
Because this fox was exactly the same as the fox in her memory.
It's not just the appearance. It's also the indescribable temperament.
That feeling...
very special.
After that separation, she never saw a similar temperament in other foxes again.
But in this fox, she saw it again.
……
"I was rude."
The old man withdrew his hand.
An emotional smile appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect to see you again..."
"…I feel like I'm dreaming…"
See you again, the fox from the past...
No one knows.
Only she knows.
This matter has almost become an obsession for her.
Can't give up.
Can't be forgotten.
She has been trying to persuade herself to let it go.
I thought she did it.
But lying on the hospital bed, looking at the ceiling above, inexplicably and somewhat abruptly, she thought of this incident again.
She couldn't help but tell her grandchildren.
did not expect.
They gave her such a big surprise.
"Thank you."
The old man sat up straight.
He bent down carefully towards the little fox.
"Thank you."
"If it weren't for you that year, I would probably be dead a long time ago."
"terribly sorry."
“I was terrified at that point.”
"I never said thank you to you in person."
“I’ve always felt sorry about that.”
That accident was the closest she had ever been to death.
Therefore, she became even more grateful to the fox for saving her.
Moreover, her "lifesaver" is so special.
Like the legendary fox fairy.
Just for this reason, she wanted to see the fox again.
"Thank you."
The old man lowered his head.
After a while, the old man raised his head.
A somewhat relaxed smile appeared on her face.
Noticing this, the brother and sister couldn't help but clench their fists and cheered in their hearts.
Oh yeah~
It's all going great.
"you"
The old man stared at the fox.
There was some hesitation in his voice, "Do you still remember me?"
She just realized that her behavior just now seemed to be a bit self-talking?
The fox didn't seem to even look at her?
The little white fox was still looking out the window.
".You don't remember, do you?"
The old man's straight back was a little hunched.
"grandmother."
The boy and girl looked at the old man with some concern.
They used Ajiu as an emergency weapon.
It was not the fox the old man met in the mountains.
Besides
Foxes can’t understand what humans say, right?
Even if they really brought the fox from the mountain, would it be able to respond to the old man's words?
Ok?
The girl was stunned.
She thought of the previous scene.
It seemed that the older brother was also talking to the little white fox.
His expression was so natural, as if the little white fox could understand what he said.
no no.
The girl shook her head.
The elder brother was just talking to his beloved pet like many others.
Nothing surprising.
"what?"
The old man turned his head.
Noticing the worry on the two children's faces, the old man was puzzled for a few seconds before he understood.
"fine."
"I am fine."
The old man laughed.
"I'm glad to see this fox again."
“So many years”
"It's normal for it not to remember me."
But you always remember it
The girl muttered in her heart.
"Where did you find it?"
The old man was curious.
"I searched for it for a long, long time, but I couldn't find it."
"Don't you want to see me?"
The old man looked at the fox.
After so many years, she has become very old.
The fox in my memory still looks the same as in my memory.
Not a single change.
Especially those eyes that she had dreamed of many times.
Full of aura.
Stunningly beautiful.
