Chapter 2487 Strangeness and Discovery
"Hey, old man, isn't that right?"

The old lady looked at the old man who had taken a step back.

"."

The old man didn't answer immediately.

He frowned.

He looked as if he was thinking carefully.

at first……

How many days have passed since they bought the little plum tree...

"I thought plum trees grew that fast..."

The old man muttered.

Moreover, he had been in a daze during this period...

My sensitivity to surrounding things has become much duller.

He didn't even notice some obvious changes.

……

"I didn't even notice..."

The old lady rubbed her temple.

I watch it every day.

But sometimes, there are some things that you just can’t discover even if you watch them every day.

On the contrary, if you look at it again after a while... you will notice the changes immediately.

……

"Do plum trees grow so fast?"

The old man was confused.

As far as he could remember, the small plum tree he had just bought and planted was only half a head taller than his grandson who was still in kindergarten.

That’s why the child was so excited to compare his height with the little plum tree, and he even vowed that if he drank milk every day, he would soon be taller than the little plum tree…

But the plum tree in front of me...

The old man raised his eyes.

They are all taller than him.

Although it is still much shorter than the plum trees in the park.

But it is much higher than when they bought it.

You know, it’s only been about two years since they bought this small plum tree... the old man frowned.
Isn’t this growth a bit too good?
Especially since this plum tree had been sick for an unknown period of time without them realizing it.

Even so……

Can we still say that it is thriving?

……

The more the old man thought about it, the more strange it seemed.

There was a hint of thought in his eyes as he looked towards the plum tree.

……

"It stands to reason..."

The old lady also looked up at the plum tree.

“It won’t grow that fast.”

"But there are always exceptions, right?"

“Maybe our plum tree just grows that fast?”

The old lady's tone was hesitant.

However, apart from this explanation, she couldn't think of any more reasonable explanation.

……

"Isn't it sick?"

The old man pointed out another point that he found strange.

“Why can you be so good?”

……

The old lady was slightly stunned.

"How do you know it wasn't this tall before it got sick?"

……

"It has been sick for a long time..."

It has been more than half a year since Lele left...

He couldn't remember when they discovered that the plum tree was sick.

But it has been several months anyway.

Excluding these few months, wouldn't the plum tree have grown so much taller in a shorter period of time?

"Is it injected with growth hormone...?"

The old man muttered.

I always feel that...it seems a little...unbelievable?

……

"What growth hormone?"

The old lady was slow to react.

……

"I mean, the growth rate of this plum tree is like it was given growth hormone."

The old man explained.

"Oh~"

The old lady suddenly realized.

“It’s a bit like…”

"You said it's sick because of the growth hormone injection...?"

……

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

"Old lady, what's wrong with you?"

"I was just joking when I said that."

"I have not given this plum tree any growth hormones."

"Did you give it a shot?"

……

The old lady shook her head.

How could she possibly give growth hormones to the plum tree?
Not a good thing.

……

"That's okay."

The old man sighed.

"Not you, not me."

“Who else can come to our yard and give this little plum tree a growth hormone injection?”

……

The old lady hesitated.

She didn't know what happened just now, she just went along with the old man's assumption... her brain.

The old lady reached out and knocked on her head.

When knocking for the second time, the old lady's hand was grabbed by the old man.

"Why are you knocking yourself?"

“I wasn’t smart to begin with.”

"It's even dumber if you knock on it."

The old lady glared at the old man.

Who are you calling stupid?

She is at most -
"Okay, I was wrong, you were just a little slow in reacting."

The old man's words were highly consistent with the old lady's thoughts, and the old lady widened her eyes slightly.

Then the corners of his mouth curved up into an obvious arc.

Doesn’t the old man understand it very well?
……

Seeing that the old man looked a little confused, the old lady smiled again.

“I just think we have chemistry.”

……

Although he still didn't understand why the old woman suddenly said such a thing, it didn't stop the old man from nodding in agreement.

"That is."

"They have been married for many years."

"How can there be no tacit understanding?"

……

"oops!"

The old lady covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"this late."

"I'm going to cook."

After saying this, the old lady hurried towards the kitchen.

……

"I'll help her."

The old man turned and smiled at Xiao Xiao.

"Student Xiao, please come in as well."

"It's cold outside."

……

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

"I want to stay in the yard for a while."

……

Ok?
The old man was stunned.

He raised his eyes and looked at the plum tree in front of him.

Because of it?

The old man smiled.

"You really like plum trees."

……

“I have a plum tree at home, too.”

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"So every time I see other plum trees, I can't help but think of the plum tree at home."

……

"Oh~"

The old man's eyes lit up.

This young man also has a plum tree at home.

What a coincidence.

……

The old man wanted to ask more questions, but when he thought of the old woman in the kitchen, he suppressed his curiosity.

"We'll talk about this later at the dinner table."

The old man made an agreement with the young man.

"Since you like to stay in the yard, just stay in the yard."

The old man waved his hand, "Just be careful not to catch a cold."

"I'll go in first."

……

The old man's figure quickly disappeared in the room.

Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze from the old man and looked down at the jewelry in his hand again.

The dark eyes were seeping with traces of golden light.

Light and subtle.

It spreads to the entire pupil little by little.

……

Several monsters subconsciously restrained their voices.

Even though it was not the first time they saw Xiao Xiao, this look always made them feel almost terrified.

It can be called a conditioned reflex.

……

Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

The eyes blessed by spiritual power did not immediately discover anything...

This surprised him.

He didn't give up.

His expression became more focused.

……

what.

This is-
"Student Xiao."

A voice came into Xiao Xiao's ears.

Xiao Xiao blinked.

The golden light in his eyes faded.

Although ordinary people can’t see the golden light.

……

The old man walked towards Xiao Xiao who was standing under the plum tree.

I really have been looking at the plum blossoms.

The old man raised his head and glanced at the plum blossoms that looked like they were decaying.

The emotions in my heart are somewhat complicated.
