Chapter 4018: Let’s Start from the Beginning
The woman was in high spirits.
Keep your ears open.
How could the old lady not be curious about the red one-eye that made her so obsessed?
……
result……
It's over?
The woman was a little confused.
In the end, the old man in front of him didn't really see the red eye.
I just heard people talk about it when I was a kid.
……
The old man smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"that's it."
"I said I didn't know much..."
"Excuse me……"
……
"no no……"
The woman waved her hands hastily.
She forced a smile. "Thank you so much for telling us this."
An idea flashed in her mind.
and many more.
Is she stupid?
The old man didn't know much.
But there is one person who definitely knows a lot.
The woman spoke with some surprise.
"Your friend..."
"That's the one who's friends with Red One-Eye..."
"Do you still have her contact information?"
"Do you know where she lives?"
……
Grandma was stunned.
"She..."
The image of the mushroom-headed girl gradually appeared before her eyes.
However, the only thing that was clear was the thick bangs.
The girl's appearance has become blurred.
Grandma tried to open her eyes...
……
"grandmother?"
Xiaopang pulled the old man's clothes.
I was somewhat dissatisfied with the old man's silence.
He actually didn't understand most of what he said to the old man.
However, he was very interested in the red one-eye.
Red one-eye...
Is it a monster?
Xiaopang's eyes were full of light.
Is it a very big and powerful monster?
really?
……
Grandma suddenly came to her senses.
She didn't care that her grandson was pulling at her clothes.
She looked at the woman.
An apologetic look appeared on his face.
"I haven't had any contact with her for a long time..."
After graduating from elementary school, they entered the same junior high school.
But they are different classes.
Their classroom isn't even on the first floor.
She has new classes and new friends.
The same is true for my elementary school classmates.
They rarely gathered in the open space to play together anymore.
She occasionally saw the mushroom-headed girl at school or on the way to and from school.
But it was just a glimpse.
She didn't call the other person's name.
The other party didn't see her either.
She thought the other party should feel the same.
I saw her in a place where she hadn't seen me, and followed her silently until we "parted ways".
……
Later, probably when she was in high school, she happened to hear someone say that the mushroom-headed girl had moved.
And then……
There is no more.
……
The woman was disappointed.
"No contact?"
"No phone either?"
She was a little unwilling.
……
"No."
Grandma shook her head.
They were not like the children of today.
Cell phones were not yet so popular.
I don’t have the habit of leaving contact information with others.
of course.
Even now, she probably wouldn't have the contact information of the mushroom-headed girl.
Because she won't ask for it.
Her relationship with the mushroom-headed girl...is only slightly better than the relationship between the mushroom-headed girl and other people...that's all.
It is far from the point where they would leave each other contact information when they separate.
……
The woman couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
turn out……
It was all in vain.
……
She looked at the old lady with some concern.
"mom……"
……
The old lady lowered her head.
In the night, the moonlight shines on the old lady, like a painting.
The woman sighed for the umpteenth time, saying that the old lady was truly the most beautiful old lady she had ever seen.
She thought of her husband.
She pouted.
Why didn’t her husband inherit the old lady’s temperament?
When he is with the old lady, one is highbrow and the other is lowbrow.
cough cough.
She was exaggerating.
Her husband is pretty good.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen for him.
……
"Mom?" Seeing that the old lady didn't respond, the woman became more worried.
The old lady won't be too disappointed...
……
The woman gently pulled the old lady's arm.
"mom?"
"you……"
……
The old lady finally raised her face.
She tilted her head to look.
There was a hint of confusion on his face.
His brows were tightly furrowed.
……
"mom?"
The woman blinked.
Why did the old lady’s expression look different from what she expected?
Not disappointed.
But confused?
why?
……
The old lady said nothing.
She turned and looked at the old man opposite.
……
The old man was startled.
I felt inexplicably nervous.
"That, that..."
"Feel sorry."
The old man smiled bitterly.
"That's all I know."
……
The old lady put her hand on her temple.
Her mind is confused.
There are many blurry images tumbling in it.
But when you look closely, it seems to have disappeared like a mirror image.
"you……"
She looked at the old man opposite her.
……
"Ok?"
Grandma's heart tightened.
"what?"
……
"Say it again."
The old lady looked at the old man steadily.
There was a strange light flashing in his clear eyes, which was different from those of ordinary old people.
……
Grandma opened her mouth unconsciously.
what?
Say it again?
……
"mom?"
The woman was also a little surprised by the old lady's request.
Didn't you hear clearly?
Considering the old lady's situation, the woman said it was understandable.
but……
This request is a bit too much trouble for the elderly.
The woman smiled and took the old man's arm.
"Mom, let me tell you."
"I remember it all."
As for what she said just now, her memory is still good.
Besides, there were only a few sentences about the red one-eyed man in the old man’s long speech.
She only had to tell the old lady those few words.
……
"No."
The old lady shook her head.
The words were addressed to the woman, but her eyes were still fixed on the old man opposite.
Not moved.
"I want to hear her say it."
……
woman:……
Hey……
The woman didn't understand.
Does it make a difference?
She was about to continue persuading the old lady when the old man opposite spoke.
"Let me say it again."
……
The woman looked at the old man.
Seeing the other person smiling and nodding at her, she immediately smiled too.
"Thank you."
"Excuse me."
She did not refuse.
It would be best if the other party is willing.
……
"...You want me to start from the beginning..."
Grandma opened her mouth, her voice already in her throat, and she suddenly thought of something.
She swallowed her original words and asked, "Or do you want to hear those words about the red one-eyed man?"
……
"Let's start from the beginning."
The old lady said without hesitation.
……
Grandma was surprised.
Start from the beginning...?
……
The woman looked at the old lady in surprise and confusion.
"Mom, why do you have to listen to it from the beginning?"
"Wouldn't it be better to just listen to the few sentences that mention the red one-eyed man?"
Otherwise, I'd have to start over from the beginning...
The old people are so tired.
……
The old lady just shook her head.
She didn't say anything.
The woman knew the old lady's insistence...
……
The woman shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
She looked at the old man opposite.
"Excuse me……"
