Chapter 3485 Little Green Pepper

After eating snacks and drinking tea, Xiao Xiao said goodbye to the old man again.

This time the old man didn't stop anyone.

……

The old man simply waved at his grandson.

"Be safe on your way back to school."

"When crossing the road, pay attention to the cars on both sides. Even if the traffic light on the sidewalk is green, you should still pay attention..."

……

"understood."

Xiao Xiao nodded in response.

"I'll pay attention."

"Then grandpa, I'm leaving."

"Goodbye."

……

"Goodbye."

The old man watched his grandson walk out of the gate of the yard.

The old man withdrew his gaze only after he could no longer see his grandson’s back.

He looked at the chessboard.

Then he raised his eyes.

There was a deep smile on his face.

"Let's continue our game of chess."

"I will definitely perform better this round than the last one."

The old man was quite eager to try.

……

Xiao Xiao stepped out of the yard gate.

The plum fragrance lingering in my nose suddenly dissipated.

He smiled.

He closed the gate of the yard behind him.

……

As I walked out of the alley, the sun suddenly shone in front of me.

Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

The pace did not stop.

……

There was a lot of traffic and noisy sounds on the street.

Very lively.

People's mood can't help but be infected and become a little lighter.

……

"Ouch!"

The old lady let out a cry of pain.

The vegetable basket in his hand fell to the ground.

The vegetables inside rolled all over the floor.

……

"my type!"

The old lady didn't care about anything else and hurriedly bent down to pick up the vegetables.

……

The "culprit" on the side was at a loss for a few seconds, then he seemed to react and squatted down to pick up the vegetables.

……

There is strength in numbers.

The two of them picked up vegetables together, and soon almost all the vegetables on the ground were picked up.

……

The old lady held her waist and stood up.

People are getting older.

My waist is not good anymore.

The old lady frowned.

She looked at the basket and then looked around.

I want to see if there are any "slippery fish".

……

The old lady hasn't noticed yet.

The boy had already seen a small green pepper lying on the side of the road.

He didn't think much about it and walked over subconsciously.

He bends down -
"beep!"

There was a mixture of sharp horn sounds and the sound of tires rubbing against the ground during emergency braking.

Everyone who heard it couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat.

His face showed fear.

……

"Are you OK?"

Xiao Xiao slowly released the hand that was holding the boy's arm.

……

The young man's pale face was blank.

what?
He blinked slowly.

ah……?
He opened his mouth.

But no sound was made.

……

"Are you OK!?"

The old lady walked over hurriedly.

His face showed shock.

"Ouch~"

"Oh my God."

"That was really scary just now!"

……

The old lady's somewhat sharp voice brought the young man's drifting and disoriented thoughts back into focus.

He seemed to have suddenly come back to life.

His expression suddenly became lively.

But my throat still seemed to be blocked by something and I couldn't make any sound.

……

"Are you OK?!"

Seeing that the boy didn't say anything, the old lady grabbed the boy's hand.

"Hey."

"Speak out."

"Can you hear me?"

……

The old lady let go of the boy's hand.

He then patted the boy's back vigorously.

……

"Ouch~"

The boy cried out in pain subconsciously.

The old lady was really harsh.

The boy grinned a little.

……

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally there is a response.

"Are you scared?"

……

The boy looked at the old lady with a blank expression.

It seemed to perfectly confirm what the old lady said before.

……

The old lady frowned even deeper.

She took the boy's hand and patted it.

"never mind."

"A false alarm."

"Don't be afraid."

"You are fine now."

"Ouch."

"This child is really scared."

"I was also scared by you."

"What are you doing running out onto the street?"

“I don’t even look at the passing vehicles.”

"That car-"

The old lady subconsciously looked in the direction of the street.

I found that there were cars coming and going on the street and everything was normal.

The car that almost hit the boy just now has disappeared.

……

The old lady twitched her lips.

He runs very fast.

Although the accident just now was actually the child's fault.

The driver probably doesn't want to waste time.

Seeing that no one noticed him, he drove away.

Anyway, in this accident, apart from the people being quite frightened, the car was fine and no one was injured.

This is the child...

I was really scared.

The old lady looked at the boy with some pity.

……

Also.

It's a matter of life and death.

When she saw the scene just now, she felt like her heart stopped beating.

She was just a bystander.

What about those who have witnessed it?
It’s good that I didn’t faint.

……

"Don't talk about the car."

The old lady looked away.

It seemed like she noticed Xiao Xiao beside her for the first time.

this person……

After a moment of surprise, the old lady grinned and said, "You should thank your brother."

She remembered.

"Thanks to him."

"You're fine."

Although she didn't see the process.

The image that appeared in her eyes was the young man supporting the boy and standing on the side of the road.

Obvious.

The young man saved the boy at the critical moment.

……

The boy turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiao.

……

Xiao Xiao curved his eyebrows slightly.

"Want some candy?"

He reached out and handed the boy a candy.

……

Ok?
The boy was a little stunned.

W-what?
sugar?
……

The boy took the candy subconsciously.

……

The old lady nodded.

"Ah."

"Yes."

"It's better to have a candy."

"Eat a piece of candy and take it easy."

"never mind."

……

The young man pursed his lips.

He peeled off the candy wrapper somewhat clumsily.

……

As the sweet taste of the sugar spread in his mouth, the boy's tense expression finally relaxed a little.

The boy savored the sweet taste of the candy with all his heart.

The chaotic beating of the heart slowly returned to normal.

……

The two of them saw the changes in the boy.

The old lady smiled with relief.

It turns out that candy has a great effect on children.

……

"Grandma."

Xiao Xiao handed the thing in his hand to the old man.

"You dropped this, didn't you?"

……

Ok?
The old lady looked at the young man's open palm.

There was a small green pepper lying on it.

The old lady subconsciously looked at her vegetable basket.

Green peppers...

She did buy...

……

"what!"

The boy made a sound.

This little green pepper...

……

Xiao Xiao smiled at the boy.

"You almost got into an accident just now because you were trying to pick it up, right?"

……

The young man nodded.

In the end, he still didn't pick it up.

He had actually picked up the green peppers at that time.

But the sharp and noisy sound that almost exploded in his ears frightened him.

The little green pepper fell from his hand.

Behind……

He didn't know what happened next.

When he has an impression...
