Chapter 4476 Take a walk
"Aren't you here to see him?"
Old Mrs. Xu looked skeptical.
Did she just hear it wrong?
……
"I'm looking for his house."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
……
what?
Old Mrs. Xu was at a loss.
Does it make a difference?
……
Xiao Xiao gently touched the little white fox's head.
This action attracted the attention of Old Mrs. Xu.
……
"Let me tell you from the beginning."
Xiao Xiao looked at the old lady with slightly curved eyebrows.
……
"Ah good."
The old lady met the young man's eyes.
Well.
It is indeed the eyes of a young person.
Very clear.
Not like the cloudy eyes of an old man.
……
She likes children's eyes the most.
Clear, clean, innocent and romantic.
But at this moment she felt that the young man's eyes were also very good.
As clear and clean as a child.
But there are things that children don’t have…
Ok……
what?
Old Mrs. Xu was a little confused.
But soon, Old Mrs. Xu found herself amused at her own dilemma.
How can adults and children be exactly the same?
……
"I met Old Man Mao by chance..."
Xiao Xiao told his story slowly and leisurely.
"I helped him by chance..."
"He's not in very good condition."
"I want to take him to the hospital or send him home."
“He refused them all.”
"I want to contact his family..."
"He refused, too."
……
"scoff~"
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but sneered.
"What family does he have?"
"He ruined them all."
……
"Forget it, it's all in the past."
Seeing the young man's puzzled expression, Old Lady Xu waved her hand.
"I don't want to talk about those old things anymore."
"Let the deceased rest in peace."
"Anyway, you just need to know that old man Mao is not a good person."
……
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
He continued, "He also said he has no family left."
“But he told me about his home here.”
"Let me come to his house when I have time."
"After that, he left."
"I think he probably felt like he had nothing to thank me for helping him..."
"Just tell me this..."
"I didn't care at first..."
"But today I happened to be nearby, and I don't know why I suddenly remembered what Old Man Mao said to me that day..."
"I'm coming."
……
Old Mrs. Xu nodded slightly.
"That's right."
……
"Ah."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"I came here and realized that I didn't know the exact address of Old Man Mao's house."
"But now that I'm here, I don't want to come here in vain."
"So when I saw you, I wanted to ask you if you know where Old Man Mao's home is?"
……
"Why do you care about him..."
Old Mrs. Xu muttered.
"There's nothing to see in that old man's shabby house."
"He himself doesn't know how long he hasn't been back..."
"The house was shabby and full of dust."
“No one usually goes there.”
……
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Could you tell me the exact location?"
"It's okay if I don't think about it."
"Since I came here for this matter, unless there are some force majeure factors, I still want to complete my goal."
"It's also an explanation to myself."
……
Old Mrs. Xu was stunned when she heard this.
"……Fine."
Old Mrs. Xu was no longer troubled.
She nodded.
"Go and see it if you want."
She noticed the children not far away who were afraid to approach.
Was it because he saw a stranger?
……
Old Mrs. Xu told the young man the exact location of Old Man Mao's home.
……
"Thank you."
Xiao Xiao also noticed the hesitant children not far away.
He smiled at the old lady.
"You have a new guest."
"I won't bother you any more."
"Goodbye."
……"goodbye."
Old Mrs. Xu smiled and waved her hand.
"Wait……"
Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, Old Lady Xu immediately stopped the young man who was about to turn around.
"This candy is for you."
"The old woman's sugar is not as good as the city's sugar."
"Don't dislike it."
……
Xiao Xiao took the candy handed over by the old lady with a smile.
"Thank you."
Usually, he was the one who gave candy to others.
It's rare for someone to give him candy.
But recently more people have given him candy.
They are all kind old ladies.
Last time it was nougat, this time it was...
Xiao Xiao clasped his five fingers together.
fruit candy.
……
Xiao Xiao turned and left.
……
He heard the chirping of children behind him.
"Grandma, who is that big brother?"
"Yes."
“I’ve never seen one.”
"I do not have either."
"Grandma, he didn't even fan you, and you gave him candy."
……
"He told grandma a story."
"So grandma gave him candy."
"He is a visitor from the city."
"I'll be leaving soon."
"If you tell grandma stories, she will give you candy..."
……
Xiao Xiao found Old Man Mao's home according to the route the old lady told him.
Just as the old lady said, this was a very dilapidated house.
Xiao Xiao pushed open the door and walked into the yard.
……
The yard was in a state of disrepair.
Weeds are growing everywhere.
Things weren't much better inside the house.
Visible dust.
There are also spider webs everywhere.
……
A smell of decay permeated the air.
……
Both the little white fox and the white snake showed a hint of disgust on their faces.
……
Xiao Xiao smiled and touched the two little ones' heads.
He walked around the room.
……
Soon, Xiao Xiao walked through the entire room.
No trace of the monster was found.
……
Not an unexpected result.
Xiao Xiao walked out of the house.
of course.
He didn't give up so quickly.
Now that you are here, you should take a look around.
He planned to take a walk around the neighborhood.
Maybe there will be unexpected discoveries.
If not……
Then go back to school.
……
Xiao Xiao walked out of the yard.
Old Man Mao’s house is located in a remote area.
His is the only house nearby.
There are no neighbors.
He knew from the beginning that he would not live here much...
Or are you more of a loner by nature?
or……
Is this location good?
……
Regardless of whether this position was good or not...
This position is definitely not good now.
Because old man Mao's reputation was ruined in the village.
As a result, people began to dislike and avoid old man Mao’s residence.
……
The weeds near the house grew as tall as half a person.
It is as dense as a small forest.
……
Xiao Xiao walked into the weeds.
The weeds automatically fell to the sides.
It was as if something had opened it.
……
The weeds behind Xiao Xiao returned to their original state.
It was crowded again, without any trace of anyone walking by.
……
Xiao Xiao walked further and further away.
……
Xiao Xiao looked up.
The tall treetops reach the sky.
The bright sunlight was scattered between the branches and leaves, and was also tainted with a hint of the dark atmosphere of the deep mountains and old forests.
……
Xiao Xiao turned around.
Not far away you can see wild grass swaying in the wind.
……
He looked away.
……
Xiao Xiao continued to move forward.
