Chapter 3098 Changing Attitude
But before the child could answer, the old man had his own answer.

"The baby is looking for its mother, right?"

……

The child looked at the old man.

He nodded honestly.

"Zou, Grandpa, where's mom?"

The child speaks very slowly.

The short sentence was still spoken in a discontinuous manner.

……

There was a hint of pity in the old man's eyes.

poor child.

In any case, even if there is no danger to life, it is impossible to escape unscathed from such a serious accident as falling off a cliff.

This child will probably have to behave himself for a long time because of these injuries.

……

fair enough.

In fact, the old man felt a little guilty.

When I heard Xiao Xiaoyou say that the baby fell off the cliff...

He knew where the accident happened to the doll.

Baby likes to play in the mountains.

Anyone who is familiar with dolls knows this.

Of course he knew it too.

In the past, he had done many things to hide things from the baby's mother and to cover up for the baby.

In his opinion, it was just going to the mountains to play, not a big deal.

The mountain was very familiar to him as he had lived in the village all his life.

As far as he knew, there had never been any ferocious wild beasts in that mountain.

There hasn't even been any related rumors.

It was a very gentle forest.

There are wild flowers and grasses, streams and rivers, rabbits and squirrels...

of course.

There are also lush, towering trees.

With many strange stones.

He could understand why Wawa liked that forest.

He also loved going there to play when he was a child.

In spring, there are colorful wild flowers and dancing butterflies; in summer, there are cool streams and sparkling water; in autumn, there are thick fallen leaves that make crisp sounds when you step on them...

In winter, the forest is a great place for snowball fights.

There is natural cover.

There is also thick snow.

Don't worry about harming innocent people.

Everyone except oneself is the target of "attack".

……

The old man felt somewhat relieved when he saw that the child liked the mountain so much.

Now is not what they were before.

There are fewer children in the village.

Children now have more choices for entertainment.

Everything in the mountains didn't seem to have as much appeal to the child as it did back then.

and also……

Parents are not so keen on their children going to the mountains to play.

……

He has always been on the doll's side.

He felt that the baby's mother was worrying too much.

Wawa has gone to the mountains to play so many times and there has never been a single accident.

Besides, it’s normal for children to have some bumps and bruises.

How could the children in the village be so pampered?

But now...

He found out he was wrong.

It's normal for children to have some bumps and bruises.

But falling off a cliff is far more than just a bump or a fall.

If the doll hadn't been lucky and met a kind person...

this time……

The doll stayed in that mountain forever.

The doll will never come back...

……

After this incident, the old man changed his attitude towards the children going to play in the mountains.

The mother of the baby is right to worry.

He is too generous.

I still have to keep an eye on the dolls in the future...

Try to avoid going to the mountains.

Say as much as possible...

Because of the blanket refusal to let the child go to the mountains, the old man felt a little reluctant.

Every time Wawa came back from the mountains, she would describe to him with great excitement what she had seen and heard in the mountains.

The doll had a lot of fun playing in the mountains...

……

but……

The old man shook his head slightly.

Maybe after this time, the kid will not go to the mountains on his own anymore without anyone’s restraint.

After all, falling off a cliff is not an experience that can be easily laughed off.

Therefore, it is understandable that one may feel repulsive toward the place where the experience took place.

……

He just hopes...

It’s right for children to learn a lesson from this incident.

However, don’t let this incident leave too much of a shadow in the child’s heart…

What’s past is past.

Don't let it trap you.

……

The old man smiled gently.

"Mom went to work."

"Mom will come over after get off work." "Just let Grandpa Zou accompany the baby first."

……

The old man's pretended aggrieved statement made the baby laugh.

"Zou, Grandpa, is also very good."

"I like Grandpa Zou."

……

The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Grandpa Zou also likes dolls."

"Doll, do you feel more comfortable now than before?"

……

The doll blinked.

I felt the situation on my body very carefully.

like……

"A little."

Doll couldn't help but feel a little happy.

……

Seeing the child happy, the old man naturally laughed too.

"That's good."

"Baby, be good and obedient during this time and take good care of your injuries."

"Once this period of time is over, the baby will be able to jump around again."

"but-"

The old man wanted to talk to the child about her accident.

But he heard footsteps.

He turned his head.

Then I saw the woman pushing the door open.

……

Noticing the old man's gaze, the woman was slightly stunned and then smiled.

"Uncle Zou."

"baby-"

The woman's voice stopped abruptly.

Because she had seen her daughter with her eyes open.

……

"baby."

A surprised smile appeared on the woman's face.

"Are you awake yet?"

……

The woman hurried to the child's bed.

……

As the woman came closer, the old man could hear her panting.

He shook his head slightly.

He knew it without asking.

The baby’s mother must have run all the way here.

He didn't say anything.

He understood the mother's feelings.

If it were him, he wouldn't be able to walk over slowly.

……

"Mother!"

The child showed a mouthful of small white teeth.

There was obvious joy in his tone.

……

"Hey."

All the anxiety and worry that the woman had felt along the way disappeared when the child called her "Mom".

She bent down and touched the child's forehead.

Then he touched the child's forehead with his own.

Then he smiled with relief.

The child's temperature is normal.

It looks like the child should be fine.

The rest... is to recover from the injury step by step.

……

"fine?"

Although the answer could be seen from the woman's expression, the old man still asked again.

……

"Ah."

The woman knew what the old man was asking.

She sat down in another chair.

The old man gave up the seat closest to the child to the woman.

"The doll's temperature is normal."

……

"That's good."

The old man smiled with relief.

When he saw the child's condition, he knew that the child was fine.

The child had a slight blush on his face when he woke up from a nap.

It was particularly obvious on the child's still somewhat pale face.

……

"Uncle Zou, thank you."

The woman thanked the old man.

"Thank you for taking care of this child."

……

"What's the trouble?"

The old man waved his hand.

"I didn't do anything."

"The child just woke up a while ago."

"You've come at the right time."
