Chapter 448: Memories of the Frog God. Continued
The child broke free from the big man's hand.

Of course, the reason why he landed successfully was because the big man let go of his hand.

Otherwise, with his small body, he would never be able to break free from the shackles of the big man.

……

The child ran a few steps to where the frog god was, stood on tiptoe and stretched out his arms to point at the big frog.

"Big frog!"

"Really, isn't there a big frog right here?"

The child spoke loudly, his young face showing confusion and impatience, as well as a hint of grievance.

He didn't understand. The big frog was clearly here, so why did his parents say that he was lying?
He didn't lie!
……

The child stared at the big man and the middle-aged woman stubbornly.

His eyes were wide open, as if he was competing with someone and didn't even blink.

……

There was a moment of silence between the big man and the middle-aged woman.

They looked at each other.

The middle-aged woman squatted down, put her hands on the child's shoulders, her face gentle, her voice soft, "Shitou, it's okay, it's your fault that you hit Zhuzi's nose and made it bleed this time. It's okay to fight between friends, but you have to be careful about the limit."

"Go to Zhuzi's house with mom and dad later to apologize."

"Mom believes that as long as you sincerely admit your mistake, Zhuzi will forgive you."

"Dad will at most scold you. Don't worry, mom will watch him and won't let dad hit you."

The middle-aged woman winked at the child mischievously.

Hey, really?

The child asked with his eyes suddenly shining brightly.

He had accidentally hit the pillar and made it bleed, and he was very panicked and even scared.

Especially when he saw Zhuzi's frightened expression and heard his miserable cry, he became more panicked than ever before.

The commotion here attracted the attention of the adults, and gradually more and more adults came over here.

The child ran away subconsciously without even thinking.

Thinking about it now, he was also worried about Zhuzi, after all, Zhuzi was his good friend.

Moreover, Dad's expression was too terrifying. Although he had been in trouble from big to small since he was a child, this time was definitely the most serious one. Even though he was no longer afraid of Dad's dark face, he was rarely scared this time.

Now that he had received his mother's assurance, he couldn't help but feel greatly relieved.

You know, even though dad is tall and strong, he is helpless with his thin and weak mom.

As long as mom says so, dad will basically not disobey.

However, most of the time, my mother respects my father's opinions and rarely expresses opposing views.

So, once mom says it, dad will never refuse any request from mom.

……

"So, stone."

"No need to lie."

"It's not so bad that you have to lie your way out of it."

No one knows a child better than his mother. As a mother, she knows exactly what the child is thinking.

She has always had a love-hate relationship with her children's cleverness.

However, if this cleverness is used in the wrong place, it will cause big problems.

……

"No."

The child suddenly felt like he had no way to defend himself. He stammered for a moment and then spilled all his previous plans, "I did lie, but no, it wasn't really a lie."

"I just guessed that this big frog was the incarnation of the rain god, thinking that this would calm Dad down."

"But this frog is really here!"

"I really didn't lie!"

The child became excited and shouted anxiously.

His finger was constantly pointing at the direction of the frog god above him, and he looked as if he wanted to poke his finger into the frog god. …

"...Shitou, I'm disappointed."

The middle-aged woman stared into the child's eyes seriously, letting the child clearly see the disappointment and confusion in her eyes, "Why did you lie?"

Why tell such an obvious lie?

Why do you insist on this lie even when it is exposed?

When did this child become like this, telling lies and refusing to admit his mistakes.

The middle-aged woman was very angry and a little sad. Had they neglected the child too much?
So it is impossible to understand what the child is doing at this time.

……

The middle-aged woman's gaze pierced the child like a needle.

The child couldn't help but shudder all over.

His nose suddenly felt sore and the corners of his eyes turned red.

The child was stubborn and refused to shed tears.

The depression and grievance of being wrongly accused made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

The child was so wronged by his parents, who were closest to him, that he lost control of his emotions.

He yelled out loudly, his voice a little hoarse: "I'm not lying, I'm not lying, I'm not lying!"

"There is a big frog right here!"

“There is a big frog!”

By the end of the conversation, the child's voice was visibly choked with sobs.

Tears finally fell uncontrollably.

The child opened his eyes wide and tried hard to keep a straight face, as if this would prevent him from crying.

……

Seeing the child so pitiful and stubborn, the middle-aged woman couldn't bear it.

She reached out and gently wiped away the tears rolling down the child's cheek.

Her child has been naughty since he was young, and has been scolded and beaten too much by his father. Except for crying a few times at the beginning, he was rarely seen crying afterwards.

Even later, every time the child's father wanted to scold him, he had to go through a chaotic "chase" to catch the child and make him listen to his lecture obediently.

It has been a long time since I have seen such a wronged child.

It wasn't like he was pretending to be pitiful every time his prank was exposed or he got into trouble, but he was really sad.

This was the first time she had seen such a sad child.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the big man: "The child's father..."

There was a hint of hesitation and indecision in his expression.

Did the child really see a frog?
However, she soon noticed the big man's unusually solemn expression. It was not the solemn expression he had when he discovered that his child was lying, but it had a different meaning.

What is...

The middle-aged woman couldn't tell the difference for a moment.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.

She hurriedly stood up and walked to the big man, "What's wrong?"

"You look so ugly?"

The big man turned his head and looked at the middle-aged woman's vaguely uneasy expression. He was silent for a while, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "Do you think this child... is possessed by evil spirits?"

"Bewitched?!"

The middle-aged woman was horrified and covered her mouth with her hands the moment she screamed.

She doesn't believe it!

She didn't believe that her child was possessed.

She didn't want to believe that her child was possessed!
……

But when she looked at the big man's eyes that didn't hold a trace of joking, and then turned to look at the child who was crying out of grievance because he wasn't trusted, the balance in her heart had already tilted.

Yes, other than being possessed by evil spirits, what better reason could there be to explain her child's current situation?
