Chapter 3835 The Last Household

A girl with long hair also came over.

"Not a courier?"

……

"No."

The short-haired girl shook her head.

She looked back.

"Do you know this old man?"

……

"do not know."

The long-haired girl shook her head.

……

Facing the inquiring looks of the two girls, a smile appeared on the old man's face.

"Hello."

"I'm your neighbor who lives on the floor below you."

"I just want to ask you guys."

“Have you heard any musical instruments being played at home these days?”

……

The sound of a musical instrument?
The two girls looked at each other.

"Did you hear it?"

"Did you hear it?"

The two girls said in unison.

"Pfft~"

The two girls smiled at the tacit understanding between each other and themselves.

……

"No."

The girl with short hair was the first to shake her head at the old man.

"I didn't hear any musical instrument playing."

"I do not have either."

The long-haired girl shook her head.

……

"No……"

The old man couldn't help but murmur.

He had a bad feeling.

The young man before said he didn’t know and he didn’t care too much.

The two girls also said they didn’t know.

He couldn't help but think...

Could it be that no one else heard the sound of the pipa except him?
……

Seeing the old man disappointed, the two girls looked at each other and felt a little sorry.

"that……"

"When we watch TV series at home... we turn up the volume quite loudly."

The girl with short hair tried to make the old man feel better.

“So we don’t notice a lot of the sounds.”

“You can ask other people.”

“Maybe they heard something.”

……

After a slight pause, the old man smiled bitterly.

Very similar statement.

and so……

Young people have their own activities, such as practicing piano, listening to music, watching TV series...

None of them noticed the sound of the pipa coming from outside.

They are all immersed in their own world.

Is it true that he, an "idle" old man, is the only one who noticed it?
……

"I see."

The old man smiled at the two girls.

"Sorry to bother you."

……

"it's okay no problem."

The short-haired girl turned around and stuck out her tongue slightly at the long-haired girl.

The old man looked genuinely disappointed.

If possible, she hoped she could help.

pity.

There was nothing she could do.

She couldn't lie to the old man.

……

The door is closed.

The smile on the old man's face faded and disappeared.

He turned his head.

There is one last family...

If the owner of this house says he didn't know or heard anything...

The old man shook his head vigorously.

It's not time to get discouraged yet.

still have a chance.

……

The old man took a deep breath.

He walked to the door of the last house.

Raise your hand.

"Dongdong~Dongdong~Dongdong~"

……

The knock on the door echoed in the empty corridor.

Layers upon layers.

It actually made the old man feel a little deafening.

The old man's hand that was knocking on the door paused.

Did he... knock a little too hard?

……

The old man exhaled slowly.

He told himself not to rush.

That is the last family.

There's no rush.

……

But, gradually...

The old man's expression changed slightly.

His brows were furrowed.

No one came to open the door.

He had been knocking on the door for quite some time.

……

Won't……

The owner of this house hasn't come back yet, right?
The old man was unwilling to admit this guess.

But the passage of time and the silence inside the door made this speculation more and more likely to become a reality.

…The old man felt a little annoyed for a moment.

This is the only one missing...

Obviously this is the only one missing...

This was even more annoying than when he found that all the rooms on this floor were empty during the day.

……

The old man withdrew his hand.

His hands were a little red from knocking.

He shook his hands lightly.

He touched his hand again.

Emotions were surging in my heart.

……

"Excuse me……"

A hesitant voice came into the old man's ears.

……

The old man turned around suddenly.

Being suddenly awakened from a unconscious state is very heart-wrenching.

The old man was a little frightened.

……

"Feel sorry."

The woman dressed as a white-collar worker realized that she seemed to have scared the old man.

She apologized.

"but……"

The woman walked up the last step.

"Why are you standing at my door?"

"Did you find the wrong door?"

The woman guessed.

Maybe it's just a coincidence.

After all, the old man seemed to be in a daze just now?
Maybe the old man didn't even know where he was standing?

……

Old man:......

Does he look such a dumb guy?
Why did so many people ask him if he had come to the wrong place?
……

"No."

The old man shook his head.

"I'm your downstairs neighbor."

The old man briefly explained his identity.

……

"Oh."

The white-collar woman suddenly realized.

"Hello."

"You are looking for me because..."

She began to recall what she had done at home that caused the neighbor downstairs to come to her door?

It's noisy?
impossible.

She herself is a person who is afraid of noise.

she-
"I want to ask you something..."

The old man's voice interrupted the white-collar woman's wild guesses.

The white-collar woman immediately listened attentively.

……

"Have you heard any musical instruments at home these days?"

The old man asked the question he had asked many times.

this time……

Could his question have been answered differently?
The old man's hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists at some point.

This is the last family left...

……

"The sound of an instrument?"

Unexpected problems.

The white-collar woman's pupils widened in surprise for a moment.

……

"Yes."

The old man nodded.

“The sound of an instrument.”

"Did you hear that?"

Even though he tried to calm himself, the old man couldn't help but clench his fists.

He stared at the white-collar woman in front of him with a somewhat burning gaze.

His heartbeat was so loud he almost thought he had tinnitus.

……

The white-collar woman swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth subconsciously.

She recalled it carefully.

Unfortunately.

Her answer remained the same.

The white-collar woman shook her head.

"No."

……

A disappointing but not too surprising answer.

The old man's eyes dimmed for a moment.

Soon, the old man smiled.

"No, right?"

"Ok."

"I see."

"Thank you."

……

The white-collar woman smiled embarrassedly.

"Thank you for what?"

"I wasn't able to help at all."

……

The old man shook his head slightly.

At least the other party gave him a positive answer.

Although it wasn't the answer he hoped for.

……

The door in front of me closed.

The old man was in a daze for a while.

The increasingly clear sound of hurried footsteps drew his attention back.

He turned his head.

It's a courier wearing a helmet.

A distinctive outfit.

……

The old man walked down the stairs while waiting for the courier to come up.

He heard the loud voice of the courier.
