Pipa Ghost hurriedly ran down the last few steps with bare feet.
…
"stop."
Xiao Xiao turned around when he heard the noise.
…
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
The edge of the umbrella is raised a little.
"Don't come out."
Although Pipa Ghost is not afraid of rain, but...
"There will be marks on the stairs by then."
Before the Pipa Ghost followed him into the old lady's house, he was worried about the water dripping from the Pipa Ghost's body.
Fortunately, the old man's attention was on the man.
Moreover, the man's body was dripping with water.
It's also a perfect way to confuse your vision.
…
But since Pipa Ghost will go back alone later, it is better to avoid some minor troubles that can be avoided.
…
Pipa Ghost's feet hesitated for a while, then slowly retracted.
oh.
It nodded obediently.
Since Mr. Xiao Xiao told him not to go out, he will not go out.
Although it really wants to give it to Master Xiao Xiao again.
Pipa Ghost looked at Mr. Xiao Xiao with some eagerness.
…
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows are curved.
"goodbye."
"Pipa ghost."
Xiao Xiao said again.
He's a little funny.
He said goodbye three times.
…
goodbye……
The Pipa Ghost thought of the meaning of goodbye that Master Xiao Xiao told it.
It means I hope to meet again next time...
Pipa Ghost grinned.
goodbye.
Mr. Xiao Xiao.
…
Xiao Xiao's back holding the umbrella gradually faded away.
The Pipa Ghost ran upwards.
Standing on the balcony on the second floor, it saw the back of Master Xiao Xiao again.
Third floor, fourth floor...
All the way to the sixth floor -
This building has only six floors in total.
Master Xiao Xiao's back can no longer be seen at all.
The Pipa Demon stopped sadly.
…
After being stunned for a while, Pipa Ghost returned to the fifth floor.
It looked left and right.
First, he stood at the door of the man's house.
This is also where it usually stands.
But thinking that the man was in the house opposite, it walked over again.
After a few seconds, it came back again.
This is a man's home.
The man will eventually come back here.
but……
Pipa Ghost looked at the door opposite again.
There was a bit of confusion on his face.
…
The people in the house knew nothing about the tangle of monsters outside.
After putting away the tea sets, the old lady came out of the kitchen.
She walked towards the house where the man was resting.
As she passed the living room, she looked at the clock on the wall in the living room.
Unknowingly, two hours had passed since the man went to bed.
The old lady was a little embarrassed.
Just now she dragged the young man along and talked for so long...
I don’t know if the young man complained about himself in his heart?
The old lady smiled bitterly.
She used to think that the old man talked too much and talked endlessly...
Her ears felt hot.
The old man had no awareness of the fact that he talked a lot and was very secretive.
It doesn’t matter if you talk too much.
She could bear it if he meant what he said.
But the old man talks too much...
The content is duplicated.
The same thing is said over and over again.
When I watch the news, I start to talk eloquently from the beginning, get full of indignation, and take quotes out of context...
She really couldn't bear to listen.
For this reason, she told the old man several times.
It's just that the old man "refuses to change despite repeated admonitions".
Still smiling playfully.
Pretending to be dumbfounded by her black face.
Sometimes she gets really angry.
Tell me...how can an old man be more nagging than an old woman like her?
Even if it’s just one day…
Can't this bad old man give her a day of peace?
…
As a result, until the last day...
She didn't even get this "quietness".
…
The old man couldn't make any sound while lying on the bed, his lips were still moving.
It's like saying something.
She held the old man's hand.
I want him to stop talking.
I want him to have a good rest.
Wait until you feel better before talking again.
But her voice was stuck in her throat and she couldn't come out.
Her vision was blurry.
The corners of the eyes are burning.
She tried not to let her tears fall.
But after seeing the old man's mouth expression of "Don't cry," tears burst into her eyes.
…
The old man is gone.
After a few days of being "lively" at home, the house where she was the only one became deserted.
The children asked her to move in with them.
She refused.
Children have their own homes.
Have your own rhythm of life.
She is also used to this home.
I don't want to get used to a new place of residence.
Her body is quite strong.
She can take care of herself.
And now that communications are so advanced, if anything happens, she can call her children at any time and ask them to come over.
There is no need for her to live in the children's home.
…
At that time... the old man had just left and the children had gone back to their respective homes. It was Xiao Yan and his family who helped her get through this adaptation period.
They didn't do much either.
certainly.
They don't need to do much either.
It’s just the greetings when we meet, the delicious food we share, and the act of taking the food basket from her when she comes back from shopping...
All these small actions made her heart that was floating in the air slowly return to reality.
She gradually adapted to life without the old man.
She also began to enjoy life alone.
She started making snacks again.
She hasn't made snacks for a long time since the old man fell ill and was bedridden.
The old man can only eat some liquid food.
Like porridge, tofu soup, etc...
…
She dug out the tea leaves deep in the cupboard.
She cut off the dead branches and leaves on the balcony.
Looking at the brand new balcony, her face brightened.
…
Xiao Yan also gave her a pot of flowers.
The kids picked it.
Very brightly colored hydrangeas.
She originally had more green plants on her balcony.
As soon as this pot of flowers was placed, she immediately felt like a bouquet of flowers.
very beautiful.
It's also very beautiful.
…
oops.
The old lady knocked on her head.
Not only does she talk a lot, but she also gets distracted easily.
In the past, the old man only talked a lot.
No, no, no.
She can't lose to the old man.
A smile appeared on the old lady's face.
Otherwise, the old guy would definitely laugh at her.
…
Um?
The movement in the house startled the old lady.
Then the old lady realized something and hurriedly opened the door in front of her.
…
The man raised his eyes.
He happened to meet the old lady's surprised eyes as she looked over.
…
"Xiao Yan, are you awake?"
The old lady walked quickly to the bed.
Seeing the man's hand rubbing his temples, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "Now I know how uncomfortable it is."
