Chapter 3838 Dead End

Word by word.

The answer is very clear.

“How many times are you going to ask?”

The old lady became a little impatient.

……

"But……"

The old man twitched the corner of his mouth.

“This is very strange…”

The old man didn't understand.

"I clearly heard the sound of the pipa..."

"The music was still there when you went into the balcony."

"…The sound of the pipa disappeared at the end."

The old man heard it very clearly.

……

The old lady sat down next to the old man.

She felt a little tired after standing for a long time.

……

"Did you really hear that?"

As soon as the words came out, the old lady reacted.

She asked the same question again and again.

but……

Have no idea.

Because the other party's answer did not match her actual experience.

She didn't know which one to believe?

……

“I really heard it.”

The old man couldn't help but shout.

He really, really heard it.

More than once.

Why didn’t the old woman hear it?

He doesn't understand.

I really don't understand.

……

"Don't get excited."

The old lady hurried to comfort the old man.

"Why are you speaking so loudly?"

"I'm right next to you."

"No need to be so loud."

"Besides..."

The old lady curled her lips slightly, "The loud voice makes sense?"

……

The old man pursed his lips.

He fell silent.

But his face still looked bad.

……

"I told you to speak more quietly, not to stop talking..."

The old lady found it somewhat amusing.

Is this old man angry that she thinks his voice is too loud?

……

"…You didn't even hear the sound of the pipa…"

The old man doesn't want to appear petty.

"What else did I tell you?"

……

Uh……

The old lady blinked.

This is true.

She didn't even hear the sound of the pipa, so what else could she talk about with the old man about this issue?
Their conversation hit a dead end.

She wondered if the old man heard the sound of the pipa.

The old man also wondered why she didn't hear the sound of the pipa?

None of them could convince anyone.

Because they don't have any more evidence to prove that what they say is correct.

Then what else is there to talk about?

There's nothing to talk about.

……

"eat-"

The old lady then realized that the grapes had fallen to the ground and she had not picked them up.

She squatted down quickly.

"I'll go wash the grapes."

"Let's put this question aside for now."

……

The old man took a deep breath.

He also squatted down.

Helped the old woman pick up the grapes that fell on the ground.

……

The old lady quickly came back after washing the grapes.

The two of them ate grapes and watched TV together.

No one mentioned the topic of the pipa again.

……

The Pipa Ghost shook his feet.

It is not a monster with evil intentions.

It knows that interrupting humans watching TV will make them unhappy.

It has seen many humans quarreling over this.

It would be very angry if someone disturbed it when it was concentrating on playing.

The initial misunderstanding dissipated.

……

The Pipa Ghost turned lightly on the balcony railing.

Moonlight as water.

It was like a layer of gauze covering the Pipa Ghost.

The Pipa Ghost raised his head.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight.

Even in the past years, it has admired the moonlight countless times.

It will still be touched by the moonlight at this moment.

……

"Mom, Mom~"

A child's clear and loud voice came from downstairs.

There was obvious anxiety in the trembling voice.

……

The Pipa Ghost lowered his head.

……

The child, who had just learned to walk, staggered and followed the woman in front of him with his short legs.

The child stretched out his hands as hard as he could, as if he wanted to grab the woman in front of him.

……

The woman must have heard the child's cry.

But she didn't look back.

But he intentionally slowed down his pace.

Let the child always keep a close distance with her.

……

"Mom~"

The child's big eyes slowly filled with tears.

"mom-"

……

Pipa Ghost: ...

It clearly saw the child trip over his right foot with his left foot...

Then his whole body was twisted.

……

how did you do that?
The Pipa Ghost stretched his legs curiously.

Try to trip your right foot with your left foot...

At the same time, the Pipa Ghost seemed to have eyes on its forehead.

Just before the child was about to fall face forward, the Pipa ghost flicked his fingers and a short syllable sounded.

……

The child's fallen body was pushed back by an invisible force.

……

The child froze in place.

He touched his chest with a dazed look on his face.

Hey?
The child's mouth opened.

Looking a little bit overwhelmed.

……

The old man suddenly turned his head and looked at the balcony.

Just now……

……

"what happened?"

Noticing the movement of the old man next to her, the old lady asked.

Eyes still fixed on the screen.

At this point the plot is reaching its climax.

The old lady had no time for anything else.

……

"nothing."

The old man shook his head subconsciously.

"It's just a neck exercise."

……

"oh oh."

The old lady easily accepted the old man's explanation.

Her attention was focused on the plot on TV.

I didn't notice the absent-mindedness in the old man's words.

……

The old man shook his head.

He rubbed his ears.

Has he become obsessed with the sound of the pipa recently?

To be honest, the old woman said with certainty that she did not hear the sound of the pipa...

Although he didn't change his perception immediately...

But it is inevitable that I am a little shaken.

Really...

Did he hear it wrong?

So many times...

Did he hear it wrong?

……

The old man was still looking at the TV screen.

But the attention is no longer on the plot on the screen.

……

"Baby?"

The woman's heart skipped a beat when she didn't hear the child calling for a while.

She turned around immediately.

The next second, when she saw the child standing not far away, her heart, which had just been lifted, suddenly fell back to its original place.

Fortunately.

She thought...

……

The woman strode up to the child.

Then she discovered that something seemed wrong with the child?
She squatted down quickly.

"what happened?"

Her hands touched the child's face.

"Why do you look so dumb?"

……

"Mother……"

The all too familiar voice brought the child back to his senses.

He blinked his big, round eyes.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Just now……"

……

"Ah."

The woman responded softly.

"What happened just now?"

……

“I’m going to fall…”

The child unconsciously stretched out his hands and gestured a few times.

……

"You fell?!"

The woman was surprised.

She looked hastily down at the child's knees.

"Did it hurt from the fall?"

"Where's the injury?"

"Baby……."

……

"what?"

The child was confused and let his mother do whatever she wanted to him.

He said slowly, "It doesn't hurt."

……

"Does it hurt?"

The woman checked and found that the child did not have any wounds or bruises on his body.

There is not even a speck of dust.
