Chapter 3869 What a pity?

"It's because I don't have the blessing to appreciate his performance."

The old man laughed at himself.

“He played great.”

……

"he……"

The old man couldn't help swallowing.

He thought of a very important question.

A problem he had ignored for too long.

"what exactly is it?"

……

That's right.

The old man still hasn’t figured out who the person playing the pipa is.
Is it a human being?
It should not be.

The old man shook his head in his heart.

He is human too.

How can someone not see others?

but……

If you are not a human, how can you play the pipa?
Hey?
The old man's thoughts came to a dead end.

He couldn't figure it out at all...

……

The old man gave up thinking for himself.

He looked at the young man in front of him, waiting for his response.

……

"It's not human."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

……

really.

The old man nodded.

That person is indeed not human.

He guessed correctly.

Since it's not human...

"Then what is it?"

Are there any other creatures in this world besides humans?

And it can still play human music.

For a moment, he really couldn't think of anything.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

"monster."

……

Xiao Xiao said these two words lightly.

Like a breeze can easily cover it.

But it was like a bomb exploding in the old man's heart.

Even the old man's ears seemed to have some tinnitus.

……

The old man reached out and rubbed his ears.

He subconsciously wondered if he had heard it wrong?
……

The old man looked at the young man in front of him who looked calm and seemed unaware of what "shocking" words he had said.

"What did you say?"

The young man's appearance gave him an illusion.

He really thought he had heard it wrong.

……

"monster."

Xiao Xiao spoke clearly.

……

The old man was stunned.

He really couldn't think of any homophones for these two words.

Except for those two words...

……

"you say……"

The old man lowered his voice unconsciously.

"monster?"

When the old man said these two words, he couldn't help laughing.

no……

He lived for most of his life, and in his later years someone told him about monsters?
No one told him this as a child.

Now he is a white-haired old man...

But someone spoke to him words that sounded like words one would use to coax a child.

Even the content of the words sounded like something only a child would believe.

……

If he hadn’t heard the pipa performance earlier…

Or I heard it here and now at my own request.

His first reaction would be that it was ridiculous.

But because of the previous foundation...

He actually felt that his first reaction was... to believe it.

……

He actually believed the word "monster" that the young man said.

Is he crazy?

……

The old man took a deep breath.

"Are you serious?"

The old man couldn't help but ask for confirmation again and again.

……

"real."

Xiao Xiao said it with certainty.

It behaves more naturally.

……

The old man pursed his lips.

It was visibly that he was in a dilemma.

....
Xiao Xiao smiled.

"You don't have to rush to judge now."

"You can also just think of it as me telling a story."

……ah?
What do you mean?
The old man looked up at the young man in front of him blankly.

What does it mean to treat it as listening to a story?
……

"You will never hear the sound of the lute again."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Well."

To be precise, Xiao Xiao corrected himself, "I mean you won't hear the sound of my friend playing the pipa anymore."

If the old man is very lucky, he will hear other people playing the pipa.

That's beyond his control.

……

"what?"

The old man opened his mouth.

"You mean..."

……

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

Even though the old man hadn't finished speaking, he knew what he wanted to ask.

……

The old man felt somewhat complicated.

He was naturally happy that the sound of the pipa he heard during this period would no longer ring in his ears.

But while being happy...

He seemed to have some inexplicable emotions.

Monster...

The old man didn't notice that he had actually believed what the young man said.

……

Is it a pity?
the old man asked himself.

For me, I can only hear the voice of the monster, but I can't see its appearance...

It is also a monster that can play the pipa.

Even as a child, he had never associated monsters with the pipa.

……

I didn't even listen to the other person's performance in its entirety.

If he misses this opportunity, he will probably never have the chance to interact with monsters again.

The old man clenched his fingers.

……

"Gululu~"

The familiar voice sounded again.

The old man subconsciously covered his stomach.

I was feeling a little irritated about my stomach.

Why is it barking again?
Just yell a few times.

Keep calling...keep calling...

It's really annoying.

Especially when you have other things to do.

……

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.

"Master, please go home soon."

"It's not good to be hungry."

“It will hurt your body.”

……

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched slightly.

Although the other person said words of concern for him, why did he feel that the other person was trying to drive him back?
The old man shook his head slightly.

It is wrong to make unfounded speculation.

The children have advised him to go back several times.

Every time his stomach growled, the child would advise him.
He was already open about the fact that his stomach was growling in front of this young man.

Once raw, twice cooked.

He has done this three times.

What else is there to be embarrassed about?

He is not that pretentious.

……

"Old man!"

A familiar voice came from afar.

The old man turned around suddenly.

A familiar figure also came into view.

"Old woman?"

.....
The old lady felt relieved when she saw the old man.

She walked over quickly.

Some of them hit the old man on the arm in annoyance.

"what happened?"

"You didn't even tell me you were coming back late..."

The old man, who usually came back at this time, had not been seen for a long time, and the old lady became a little anxious.

I continued to wait patiently for a while-
She was worried that if she ran out she would miss the old man who was coming back.

That would be fun.

……

The old lady called the old man.

I thought no one would answer and called a second time out of worry, only to realize belatedly that...

The old man didn't take his cell phone with him at all.

The old man's cell phone was charging on the bedside table.

The old lady's face suddenly turned dark.

……

After all, the old lady was still worried whether something had happened to the old man...

He picked up his cell phone and hurried out.

The cell phone is for calling the police in case of emergency.

……

The old lady came to the place where the old man often came.

I saw a familiar figure from a distance.

The old woman looked delighted.

The burden in my heart was finally lifted.

Great.

It seems that everyone is fine.

Then the old lady felt annoyed.
