Chapter 3837 Strange

The old lady was puzzled.

Did the old man take the wrong medicine?
Why have you been doing some weird things these days?

……

The Pipa Ghost plucked the strings a few more times as the old man wished.

The clear sound of the pipa rang out in the night.

It seemed to bring a hint of coolness to the somewhat sultry air.

....
The old man shuddered.

Goosebumps all over my body.

……

The old lady's heart skipped a beat.

She couldn't help it.

"Old man, what are you doing?"

"Why do you look so weird?"

Thinking of the old man's unusual words and deeds in the past few days, the old lady couldn't help but start to think, why not ask the old man to go to the temple to worship together tomorrow...

If you have something to say, just say it.

It’s good to pray for blessings.

……

"listen!"

The old man lowered his voice.

Wave to the old lady.

"come over!"

……

what?
The old lady hesitated.

Old man, don’t you look at what you look like now?
It makes people suspicious...

……

"hurry up!"

The old man was very anxious.

He waved his hands very vigorously.

……

"I'm coming."

Seeing the old man's anxious look, the old lady didn't want to delay even if she had doubts.

The old lady walked over quickly.

……

"what?"

The old lady looked at the old man with a bewildered face.

Why did you call her over?
The old lady was completely confused.

……

"listen!"

The old man's voice became lower and lower.

"Didn't you say you didn't hear the sound of the pipa?"

"Listen now!"

The old man spoke very quickly.

If the old lady hadn't been close, she might not have been able to hear clearly what the old man was saying.

……

but……

lute?!
The old lady suddenly became interested.

Let her hear how bad the pipa playing is that makes the old man weird.
……

After a few seconds, the old lady looked at the old man somewhat uncertainly.

The faint expectation on the other person's face made it difficult for her to say the next words.

……

"Did you hear that?"

The old man said as a matter of course.

"I said there was the sound of a pipa."

"You also said that I heard it in my dream and it wasn't true..."

The old man felt a sense of pride and joy, as if he was holding his head high.

……

old lady:……

“…I’ll go to the balcony and listen.”

Before the old man could react, the old lady took a few steps and walked onto the balcony.

……

Hey?
The old man was stunned.

He raised his body subconsciously.

It seems that he wants to follow the old woman.

But after a few seconds, he sat back on the sofa.

His hands clenched the armrests of the sofa.

……

After a long time, the old lady came back.

The look on his face...

The old man's heart skipped a beat.

He felt inexplicably uneasy.

He suppressed this inexplicable feeling.

He tried hard to put on a smile.

"how?"

"Are you worried that you can't hear clearly here?"

"And go to the balcony..."

……

"……no."

The old lady shook her head.

"you……"

The old lady looked serious.

"Is there still any sound of the pipa?"

……

what?
An unexpected question.

The old man was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"have-"

Hey?
The old man's voice stopped abruptly.

“…No, no.”

……

"Gone now?"

The old lady confirmed.

……

"Uh-huh."

The old man's uneasiness began to resurface.

Why did he feel that the old woman was in a bad mood?

……

"is it?"

The old lady smiled.

There was no smile in his eyes.

"But I never heard the sound of the pipa."

……

Varied-
After a moment of confusion, the old man realized that this sentence had the exact opposite meaning from what he subconsciously thought.

He opened his eyes wide in surprise and even disbelief.

"How could it be!?" The old man stood straight.

He looked doubtful and a little anxious.

"Didn't you hear it just now?"

"When I asked you to come and listen?"

……

"No."

The old lady shook her head.

……

"You didn't hear it when you went to the balcony?"

The old man found it incredible.

……

"No."

The old lady shook her head again.

……

"When did your hearing become so bad?"

The old man blurted out.

In return, the old woman hit him hard on the shoulder.

……

"You have poor hearing!"

The old man's nonsensical guess calmed the old lady's mood a little.

"My hearing is fine."

……

"then you……"

The old man was puzzled.

He also knew that the old woman had good hearing.

What I said just now was just a joke.

So……

"Why didn't you hear the lute?"

……

“I want to know why, too.”

The old lady rolled her eyes slightly.

"Whether it's here or on the balcony..."

She walked around the balcony several times.

I was afraid that I was not in the right position, so I didn't hear anything.

only……

No matter how she changed her position, most of her body was almost sticking out of the balcony...

I didn't hear anything.

She went from being unwilling to give up at first to having to accept the fact later.

She didn't want to admit this fact.

Because, she admitted this fact, which means...

There's something wrong with the old man.

……

"……Too strange……"

The old lady murmured.

"Why didn't I hear..."

It was obvious that she was very close to the old man.

The old man heard it.

Logically, she should have heard it.

……

The old man was silent.

The old woman was puzzled.

He was also very confused.

Why……

He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the balcony.

Couldn't help but confirm again.

"You didn't hear the sound of the pipa when you went to the balcony?"

……

The old lady opened her mouth.

But the next second, she temporarily swallowed her answer.

She recalled it carefully.

In the end, the miracle did not happen.

The old lady found no evidence to overturn her previous conclusion.

"……No."

……

The old man leaned backwards.

Leaning back on the sofa.

He reached out and rubbed his forehead hard.

what happened?

This thing...really one thing after another.

No one is given a chance to breathe.

……

"...You really didn't hear the sound of the pipa?"

The old man couldn't help but confirm again and again.

He really didn't want to believe what the old woman said.

"Weren't you on the balcony for a while?"

"Did you really not hear any sound when you were on the balcony?"

"I mean any sound."

The old man emphasized.

……

The old lady shook her head.

The quick and decisive look made the old man's mouth twitch.

"Don't you want to think about it?"

……

"What are you thinking about?"

The old lady disagreed.

"You've asked me this question several times."

……

Old man:......

Yes.

He remembered.

He had indeed asked the other party this question several times.

but……

Wasn't he too surprised?

……

"you……"

The old man's mouth opened and closed.

……

"I really didn't hear any sound at all."

The old lady continued.
