Chapter 4739 Inexplicable Memory

This kid isn't fat...

How come you are such a good eater?

It's amazing.

The old lady was quite shocked.

……

Even if I eat...

This is too much of a foodie.

She has so many dates.

……

What if an adult comes in next time?
If an adult with a bad heart becomes greedy because the yard door is not closed...

What she lost was not just a few dates.

But it is actual property loss.

Well.

Her dates also constitute property loss.

……

The child escaped the big dog by hiding in her yard.

I felt hungry after relaxing.

Because he was worried that the big dog was still at the door and he couldn't go out immediately, he saw the dates drying in the yard and ate one.

The result was out of control...

The old lady shook her head.

"Just eat a few if you want."

She doesn't care about a few dates.

After giving the child a few words of verbal instruction, he was allowed to leave.

"But you ate all my dates..."

“So many dates…”

There was no way she could just laugh it off.

……

The child pursed his lips.

After a while, he still said stubbornly, "I didn't eat it."

……

"Are you talking back?"

The old lady threatened the child, "Do you want the police to come and question you before you tell the truth?"

……

The child opens his mouth -
"All right."

The old lady didn't want to hear the child's explanation.

"Where is your home?"

The old lady took a few hurried steps before she realized that she hadn’t even asked where her child’s home was.

"Are your parents home now?"

……

"...not."

The child shook his head.

He is on summer vacation.

Mom and Dad don’t have summer vacation.

……

The old lady frowned.

"Is there anyone at home?"

……

"to be honest."

The old lady's brows were serious.

"Otherwise, we'll go find the police."

"Let the police contact your parents."

……

The child immediately became obedient.

"Grandma is at home."

Grandma was specially asked by his parents to look after him.

Because he had to attend cram school and interest classes, he couldn't live with his grandmother in the countryside for a long time.

Mom and Dad let grandma come and live with us.

……

"grandmother?"

The old lady nodded, "It's good to have an adult at home."

……

In the end, the matter ended with grandma's apology and compensation.

He made a deal with his grandmother on a series of conditions, including not skipping cram school and interest classes, and doing homework well...

Ask grandma not to tell mom and dad about this.

……

The child still feels wronged when he goes to bed at night.

He didn't steal the dates.

He got up from the bed.

He turned on his computer and searched for the black thing he saw in the old lady's yard during the day...

……

result……

He found out an incredible answer.

Taotie...

……

He was shocked.

Does Taotie really exist?
How can it be? !
But every word describing Taotie matched the dark creature he saw in the old lady's yard today...

……

He felt confused.

Taotie...

He turned off the computer.

Climbed onto the bed.

...A dreamless night.

……

This incident did not bother the child for long.

Because for children, there are too many new things to occupy their attention.

The first thing that gave him a headache was...

When grandma heard the old lady say that he ate all her dates, she thought he liked eating dates very much.

She also complained why he didn't tell grandma that he liked to eat dates?
Grandma bought him a lot of dates.

……

He was originally indifferent to dates.

it's OK.

I don’t really like it either.

But after eating so many dates in a row, he began to feel nauseous at the sight of them.

……

The dates really brought him a lot of bad memories.

He doesn't like dates anymore.

No.

He hates dates.

……

"...So later on, it seemed like I had seen Taotie..."

The old man making the candy man smiled.

"My dislike for dates made a deeper impression on me."

Because of this incident and some other things...

He quickly forgot whether he had seen Taotie or not...

……

The main thing is that even though he was a child, he knew that it was impossible for him to see Taotie.

Taotie is a legendary creature.

And the legends are all false.

How could there be Taotie in the world?
……

He thought that the sunlight was too dazzling and he was too flustered, so he was dazzled...

So I misremembered the appearance of that black creature...

……

Since I remembered it wrong, there is nothing I can do.

He soon forgot about it.

And it is also related to my own shame...

Who likes to remember embarrassing things?
Unexpectedly, many years later, he would think of this incident again.

Just because a customer said he wanted a delicious sugar man...

……

Sometimes people's memory is really weird.

No one knows when and why they will remember something...
……

"After so many years..."

The old man sighed, "I thought I had forgotten about this matter completely."

"It's not a glorious history after all."

"…human memory…"

The old man shook his head slightly.

"It's really amazing."

……

"All right."

The old man handed the candy man in his hand to the guest opposite him.

After asking the next customer for his request, he turned to look at Xiao Xiao and the two girls.

“That’s my story.”

"Isn't it a boring story?"

……

"No."

The two girls shook their heads.

Although most of the content can be said to be common, it is just the experience of a naughty child.

but……

They looked curious, "Boss, what was that black creature you saw eating dates that day?"

Creatures that like to eat dates?

They really can't figure out what it is?
And it was pitch black...

Such creatures seem to be rare...

You ask them to name a black creature that meets the requirements...

For a moment they were really confused.

Is there such a creature?
……

"do not know."

The old man shook his head.

"The situation that day was too chaotic for me..."

Although the actual situation is not like this, in the eyes of the homeowner...

He was the culprit who broke into a private house and arrogantly stole and even ate all the dates of the owner.

He has lived to this day, and more than half of his life has passed. He has never encountered a more panic-stricken, blank-minded, and speechless predicament than that time...

……

"I can't remember what it looked like..."

The old man smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

For forgetting to let myself take the blame -
He was referring to the incident of stealing dates.

He didn't know that he was trespassing.

He felt that he was quite amazing as he could actually forget the other person's appearance.

But this also shows how panic-stricken I was at the time.

……

"Oh."

The two girls were a little disappointed.

They really want to know what kind of creature likes to eat dates so much...
