Chapter 4737 It’s hard to argue
Each of the dates is very plump.

The color is also very attractive.

It looks and tastes good.

……

His sight followed a date up -
Um! ?

His eyes suddenly opened wide.

what! ?

……

After a while, he finally reacted and blinked slowly.

A dull look on his face.

This is……

what?
……

A strange guy covered in black...

Stuffing dates into his mouth one by one.

……

The other party noticed his gaze.

She glanced at him slowly from the side.

Lazy temperament.

It seemed like she didn't take him to heart at all.

……

But his heart skipped a beat.

Feeling cold all over.

Don't know why...

This little black guy -
Because it’s too dark…

In the glaring sunlight, he couldn't see its appearance clearly.

But he could clearly feel its gaze on him.

Carelessly...

But cold.

Like a sharp blade.

Even without any movement, the sharp edge he was emitting already made him feel like a thorn in his side.

……

Not sure what he discovered, but he turned and stared at him for a few seconds.

For the first time, he deeply experienced what it meant to sweat like rain...what it meant to have a heart beating like a drum...

What does it mean to fall into an ice cellar?

……

His whole body was stiff.

At a loss.

He looked like he was about to cry.

His facial features were frozen in a strange look.

He felt as if he was suffocating in a cramped space.

……

The other party seemed to curl his lips.

he does not know.

But he saw the other person turned his head back.

The piercing gaze moved away from him.

He felt a sense of liberation and relief.

He exhaled slowly and carefully.

……

He tried to move his body.

But he found that he seemed to have temporarily lost control of his body.

He couldn't even move a finger.

……

He panicked.

I took a few deep breaths in a hurry.

I used all my strength to get my body moving.

……

There was the sound of a sliding door opening, and he got goosebumps all over his body.

The stiff body suddenly moved.

He suddenly raised his eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

……

An old lady looked at him in surprise.

"……Who are you?"

After a long while, the old lady finally spoke.

……

The child was startled.

……

"Why are you in my house?!"

The old lady finally understood what was going on.

The old lady frowned.

His tone became stern.

"How did you get in?"

The old lady looked towards the yard door.

I was a little confused when I found that the door to the yard was closed.

……

"I……"

He suddenly became flustered.

The panic at this moment was different from the panic he felt when being chased by a big dog before.

But we are all very panicked.

He was at a loss.

"I……"

"have-"

He was just about to explain that he was chased by a big dog and escaped here... He didn't mean to break in here...

A scream interrupted him.

……

He was frightened to the point of shuddering all over.

What, what happened! ?

……

The old lady opened her eyes wide.

Staring at the bamboo winnowing baskets in the yard.

"My dates!"

The several bamboo winnowing baskets that were originally full of red dates were now mostly empty.

The old lady walked hurriedly.

She walked around several bamboo winnowing baskets several times.

The old lady's hands were shaking a little. She picked up a red date tremblingly.

She looked at the half-empty bamboo winnowing basket and was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.

……

Only then did he understand why the old lady suddenly screamed.

He looked at the black unknown creature on the bamboo winnowing basket.

This time, he saw the other person more clearly.

What a strange look.

He couldn't help but rub his eyes.

But when he saw it take another red date and put it in its mouth, he subconsciously shouted, "Stop!"

……

This sound brought the old lady back to her senses.

She immediately raised her eyes and looked at the strange child not far away.

"……It's you……"

The old lady didn't hear clearly what the child said just now.

Don't care either.

Her chest heaved.

He was obviously very angry.

"You little thief!"

"You actually stole so many of my dates!?"

"Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?!"

……

what?
The child was stunned.

Then he realized what the old lady had said, and he immediately retorted anxiously, "It's not me!"

"look!"

The child feels aggrieved.

Isn't the guy who stole the food right there?
Why wrongly accuse him?
"It stole the food!"

The hand he stretched out was shaking slightly from the effort.

……

The old lady was a little confused by the child's self-righteousness and grievance.

Did she really wrongly accuse the child?
Also.

There are so many dates. Even if a child is very good at eating, he or she can't eat so many at one time...

The old lady looked in the direction the child pointed.

……

After a few seconds, the old lady looked at the child with an unpleasant expression.

"Who?"

"Who do you think stole the food?"

"where is he?"

Does the old lady think she is stupid?
Now, besides her, there was only this child in the yard.

Didn't she know this from the beginning?

Someone else...

This yard is so small...

Could she not have seen it?
How could she really believe what the child said about someone else stealing the dates?

……

"It's right there!"

The child was anxious and confused.

He noticed that the other person was looking at him, and the familiar piercing chill pierced his body like needles.

He was stiff all over.

The outstretched hand shrank.

Slowly went down a few points.

……

In the old lady's view, this seemed to indicate that the child was guilty.

The old lady was very angry.

No.

I am even more angry.

He ate her dates and refused to admit it, and even told such an easily-exposed lie...

"Do you think..."

The old lady spoke in a low voice.

"I am old."

"My eyes are not good."

"Your brain is not working well?"

"Why not tell a better lie?"

"Do you think an old woman like me is easy to fool?"

……

"No... not..."

The child simply doesn’t know what to do?

He had to endure the piercing gaze of the unknown creature, and deal with the old lady's questioning and defend himself...

So much to do...

He simply can't organize his language well.

He was so anxious that his eyes turned red.

He was scared and felt that he had really died unjustly...

……

But the child's behavior made the old lady even more convinced that the child was lying.

Now this lie can no longer be covered up...

The children were "disorganized".

……

The old lady strode towards the child.

"Whose family are you from?"

"Walk."

"Take me to find your parents."

"Your parents must give me an explanation for what happened today."

……

When I heard that the old lady wanted to find the parents...

The child became even more panicked.

He yelled, "Not me!"

"It's really not me!"

“I didn’t eat the dates!”

"I didn't eat any!"

"Are you blind?"

Overwhelmed by the fear of finding his parents, the child began to speak without thinking.

"The thief who stole the dates is right there!"
