"Since I'm sick, shouldn't the scent be much lighter?"
certainly.
This is what he takes for granted.
He wasn't sure whether it was right or not.
But according to common sense, his understanding should be correct.
When I am sick, the aroma becomes even more intense...
Then don’t some people wish their peanuts got sick?
This is obviously wrong.
…
"Why does the fragrance become so much lighter when you are sick?"
Although it sounded like a quarrel at first, the old lady asked with a serious look on her face.
On the contrary, Zhuge Yun was a little at a loss.
The answer to this question... he doesn't know either.
Just based on everyone’s perception, shouldn’t it be like this?
How could the old lady still ask so confidently?
Zhuge Yun was confused.
…
etc……
Looking back?
A word suddenly appeared in Zhuge Yun's mind.
Zhuge Yun was stunned.
Why……?
Looking back?
…
He looked carefully at the plum tree again.
No...it's really a return to the past, right?
That would be bad.
Although he knew that he should not ask anything at this time.
But he still couldn't help but speak.
"Grandma..."
"Is your plum tree always so fragrant?"
"Or did it just become so fragrant recently?"
He prefers the latter guess.
After all, it was only now that he smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms.
If this plum tree had always been so fragrant, he would have discovered it long ago.
Where can I wait until today?
…
The old lady looked at the old man subconsciously.
"……yes-"
"recent."
The old man stamped the ground with his cane.
"It's become so fragrant recently."
"It smelled good before, but not as good as this."
…
"Did it become so fragrant after it got sick?"
Zhuge Yun continued to ask.
…
"no."
The old lady shook her head.
"This plum tree has been sick for a long time."
"But it's only recently that it's become so popular."
…
Why?
is that so?
Zhuge Yun looked thoughtful.
Is it really a comeback?
He looked at Xiao Xiao and the others, avoiding the eyes of the two old men.
Return to light?
His lips opened and closed, silently speaking.
...
Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng were slightly startled.
They certainly understood Zhuge Yun's lip language.
...
They had not thought of this before Zhuge Yun said it.
As soon as Zhuge Yun said this, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was like this.
but......
It turns out that even trees can shine back in time?
Maybe this tree is also very spiritual.
...
"Lao San, what are you looking at?"
Zhuge Yun was a little curious.
His eyes actually fell on Lao San just now.
But Lao San, who had always had a keen eye for people, always looked up at the plum tree.
Didn't respond to his gaze.
He didn't understand.
But he didn’t delve into it.
I just thought that the third child was probably thinking about something.
He looked at the eldest and youngest.
Fortunately, they immediately looked back at him.
He was content to share his views with them.
...
To say that I am sharing my opinions is just a few words.
After all, in front of the two elderly people, they couldn't discuss the matter of returning to the light in a serious manner.
Maybe the old man is actually aware of this.
I'm just deceiving myself.
Then they can't expose this matter even more.
...
When Zhuge Yun looked at Xiao Xiao again, he found that he was still staring at the plum tree in a daze. He was curious and asked directly.
...
"Plum tree."
Xiao Xiao's answer made Zhuge Yun roll his eyes.
Everyone saw that he was looking at the plum trees.
In this case, why did he bother to ask this question before?
Because he had a vague feeling in his heart that the third child was not just looking at the plum trees.
Did he feel wrong?
Before he could ask further, the old lady's voice rang out.
"Hey, that's right."
"How did it smell so good?"
...
The old lady moved closer to the plum tree.
"...it smells so good..."
The old man murmured.
...
"Hasn't this reason never occurred to you before?"
Zhuge Yun was a little surprised.
The plum tree in your yard is obviously sick, but one day its fragrance becomes stronger. Logically speaking, anyone who notices it will find it strange, right?
Then you will try to find out the reasons.
But judging from the old lady's behavior, it was obvious that the old man only remembered to do what he should have done long ago.
...
The old lady shook her head.
In her memory, she should have never paid too much attention to the sudden changes in the plum tree.
She just recognized the fact that the plum trees had become more fragrant.
Then I got used to the fragrant aroma of plum trees.
...
The old lady looked at the old man.
"Old man, do you know the reason?"
...
The old man shook his head.
He never thought about this problem at all.
How do you know the reason?
...
"It's no use."
The old lady spat in disgust.
Old man:......
...
"It doesn't matter if you don't know."
Zhuge Yun calmed down the atmosphere for the two old men.
If this is really a sign of the plum tree returning to its glory, then the "inaction" of the two old people is quite good.
So as not to feel sad for the plum tree prematurely.
"Think of it as a gift from Plum Tree to you two elders."
A farewell gift.
It was originally just a deceptive rhetoric, but when it came to this, Zhuge Yun couldn't help but wonder, if the plum tree had a spirit, would he really think so?
...
"...gift...ah..."
The old lady looked up at the plum blossoms with a somewhat complicated expression.
Zhuge Yun also discovered something was wrong with the old lady.
He wasn't sure if the reason behind it was appropriate for him to continue asking.
Anyway, ask first and then talk.
"What's wrong?"
"You don't seem very happy?"
...
The old lady stared at the plum tree in trance.
Zhuge Yun's voice was not heard at all.
...
Zhuge Yun shrugged his shoulders.
All right.
It seems that it is better for him to remain silent.
...
"Old man, grandma."
Zhang Bo looked at the sky.
Then his eyes fell on the two old people.
"Thank you for letting us come in to enjoy the plum blossoms."
"It's getting late."
"We won't bother you any more."
"We're going back to school."
...
Zhuge Yun gave Zhang Bo a thumbs up in his heart.
Originally he also wanted to say goodbye.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Bo was one step ahead of him.
...
"Duh, duh."
The cane made a crisp sound when it hit the ground.
The old man nodded.
"good."
...
"ah."
The old lady suddenly came back to her senses because of the old man's voice.
"What's wrong?"
...
"They're leaving."
The old man's words were concise and to the point.
...
"Got to go?"
The old lady seemed to be still immersed in a certain emotion and had not yet completely come out of it.
So the response is a bit slow.
"Where to go?"
...
"It's not our place anyway."
The old man pinched the head of his crutch helplessly.
