Chapter 4534 Can’t sleep well

"You can't vent your anger."

The old man shook his head.

……

The boy pursed his lips.

It's like he's trying hard to suppress something.

……

The old man looked at the puppy's owner.

"young people."

"sorry."

"Is your puppy okay?"

The old man's eyes fell on the puppy.

……

"fine."

Xiao Xiao reached out and gently touched the puppy's head.

The puppy quietly let Xiao Xiao do whatever he wanted and was very well behaved.

……

The puppy was kicked twice.

I wonder if the boy knew when to kick and used less force?
Or is the puppy lucky?
After the initial pain subsided, the puppy was basically fine.

Compared with the physical pain, the mental shock suffered by the puppy was obviously more serious.

……

"You don't need to apologize."

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly at the old man.

"I need to apologize..."

Xiao Xiao looked at the boy, "It's him."

……

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the old man nodded, "Yes, yes."

"Xiao Ding."

The old man also looked at the boy.

"Why don't you apologize quickly?"

……

"Xiao Ding!"

Seeing the boy standing there with a vicious expression and no reaction, the old man couldn't help but raise his tone.

"Apologize."

……

"...Why?"

After a while, the boy squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

……

Why?
The old man opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Ask this question...

Is Xiao Ding serious?

……

"You hurt someone else's pet for no reason."

The old man spoke very slowly, as if he wanted the boy to fully understand the meaning of his words.

"Don't you need to apologize?"

……

The boy was silent.

Still looking stubborn.

The aura around him was like a volcano that was about to erupt at any second, oppressive and violent.

……

The old man shook his head.

"Young man, I'm not the one making excuses for him."

"Xiao Ding did something wrong."

"Definitely."

"But he certainly didn't do it on purpose..."

……

"He kicked the puppy on purpose."

The little boy muttered.

I don’t like Grandpa Wang making excuses for bad guys.

……

The old man reached out and touched the little boy's head.

He looked at the young man.

"Xiao Ding hasn't been sleeping well recently..."

"He wasn't a bad-tempered person before."

"But you also know that if a person doesn't get enough rest, how can he be in a good mood?"

"of course."

"I know this is Xiao Ding's own problem."

There is no need for the puppy's owner to be considerate.

"It's just that he has trouble sleeping..."

The old man smiled bitterly.

"Something special..."

"Xiao Ding kept saying he heard chickens crowing..."

"It made him unable to sleep well."

"The problem is that besides him..."

"No one heard the cockcrow he was talking about."

The old man and the boy are neighbors living on the same floor above and below the ground in the same apartment building.

Because of this problem, the boy once knocked on everyone's door in the building.

Trying to find the source of the rooster's crow.

That was the first time the old man spoke to a boy.

……

The boy is the new tenant upstairs.

A new employee who just graduated.

I usually go out early and come back late.

Like many tenants who came and went, he had no interaction with the natives. The old man still remembered the hasty knock on the door that morning...

……

When I opened the door, I saw the boy's red eyes and noticeable dark circles under his eyes.

It was obvious to the naked eye that the boy was in a bad mood.

At that time, the old man almost thought that the boy was a bad guy who came to cause trouble.

If he hadn't been slow to react, he would have immediately wanted to close the door and call the police.

But later, the boy's polite words made the old man realize that he had misunderstood.

……

When the old man first heard the boy's purpose, he forgot all his vigilance and precautions.

His eyes widened in surprise.

What a weird question?

Chicken, rooster crowing?
The boy asked him if he heard the crowing of a chicken?
The old man almost thought he had heard it wrong.

He also asked the other person's question again.

It turned out that he had heard correctly.

This is such a weird question.

He shook his head.

He didn't hear the cock crow.

Where does the chicken come from in the city?
Oh.

A light bulb went off in the old man's head.

Did any family in the building buy a live chicken?

Or brought from home...

The chicken has not been disposed of yet.

The screaming sound was heard by the boy.

……

I know that this boy looks a little haggard now because he couldn't sleep well because of the rooster's crowing...

The look that initially made the old man fearful turned into something he felt sympathetic for.

but……

Is it possible for a young boy to have such a light sleep?
Even this old man was not affected.

Well.

He didn't hear anything at all.

Sometimes it is a problem for young people to have very good hearing.

……

The old man asked the boy to ask other families.

Seeing the boy trying hard to suppress his bad temper, the old man comforted him and said that the chicken would be dealt with soon.

Maybe the boys won’t hear the roosters crowing tonight.

Unexpectedly, some boys refuted fiercely...

The boys thought so at first.

Just endure it.

But several days passed and the crowing of the chickens never disappeared.

He tossed and turned in his bed.

He felt as if the crowing of the rooster was drilling into his brain and hitting his nerves again and again.

His head was throbbing.

He felt like he was being driven crazy.

He is very tired.

But I still couldn't fall asleep completely.

The sound of chickens crowing filled my half-asleep and half-awake time.

I don’t get enough rest at night and I have no energy during the day.

His condition became worse and worse as the number of days without good rest increased.

His temper was also getting worse.

Just like gunpowder, it ignites at the slightest touch.

He knew he couldn't go on like this...

……

He also made a lot of efforts.

He wore earplugs and played loud music...

When he went to sleep, he closed all the doors and windows, leaving no gaps...

He's even considering building a soundproof room...

of course.

This idea is crazy.

He was just thinking about it.

He doesn't have that much money.

There would be no need to make such a big fuss in a rented house.

……

But I don’t know if it’s just my own psychological effect?

Or is it that the sound of the chicken is really so penetrating...

He always felt the sound of roosters crowing in his mind.

No matter how he covered his ears, it was of no use.

He is going crazy.

……

He knew that he had to solve the problem at its root.

Even though he was not a sociable person, for the sake of his future sleep, he began to visit all the families in the building one by one.

He was determined to find out the source of the rooster's crowing.

……

pity.

So far, the boys have not gained anything.

Every family he visited was like the old man in front of him. None of them heard the crowing of chickens like he did.

He was surprised.

It was also unexpected.

how come……

Such obvious chicken crows...
If it wasn't so obvious, why would he be so distressed?

No one else heard it except him?!
He doesn't believe it.

He will definitely find the second person who heard the rooster's crowing!
