Moreover, it is not like the old man has never encountered crowds watching him boxing.
He thought that this young man was like those people. He was just interested in watching him boxing, so he just stopped to watch.
…
Phew~
The old man let out a long breath.
His boxing session is over.
The old man picked up the towel on the side and wiped it.
Bright eyebrows.
Doing such a set of punches every day really makes people feel refreshed.
I felt very happy.
…
After the punch, the hunger in my stomach became more obvious.
The old man touched his belly and planned to go home.
…
Um?
The old man thought it was just a coincidence.
He walked to the edge.
Unexpectedly, the other party followed him and walked to the side.
The result is still the same as before.
His path forward was blocked by someone.
…
The old man raised his head in confusion.
I can't help but sigh in my heart, young people nowadays are really tall.
He said nothing.
Instead, he looked at this young man and moved his feet a few steps to the side.
Just when he was about to continue walking forward, the other party moved.
The young man once again blocked his path.
…
alright.
This time it's no longer a misunderstanding.
The old man was puzzled.
"Young man, what do you want from me?"
This is a public place.
In addition to them, there are many elderly people exercising nearby.
The old man has nothing to worry about.
…
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.
"Hello, old man."
"I was asked by a friend to ask you a question."
…
The old man was stunned.
Entrusted by a friend?
Ask him a question?
The old man didn't know which sentence he should question first?
Doesn’t this young man feel it himself?
Each of his words sounded a little strange.
…
"Which friend do you trust?"
The old man's brows frowned slightly.
There was a sharpness in his eyes.
"Do I recognize him?"
"What question is he going to ask me?"
"If he is someone I know, why would he ask someone else to ask me questions?"
"It's better to let someone I don't know ask questions for him..."
"Can't he do it himself?"
"he……"
…
The old man asked all the questions he had doubts about.
One question after another.
Quite a bit aggressive.
Especially the old man had just finished practicing boxing and his momentum was even higher.
…
Xiao Xiao did not interrupt the old man.
He waited patiently for the old man to finish asking all the questions.
…
Finding that the young man in front of him had been listening to his questions with a good attitude, the old man felt a little embarrassed.
The young man hasn't said anything yet.
Why did he feel like he had eaten gunpowder...
Acting aggressively?
…
"Ahem~"
The old man coughed twice uncomfortably.
Most of the previous momentum immediately dissipated.
"you say."
The old man said in a rough voice.
"Ahem~"
The old man coughed a few more times.
…
"Old man."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Why don't you like the sound of the pipa?"
On the way here, had Xiao Xiao considered the most reasonable way to speak?
Thinking about it...
He found this to be an unsolvable problem.
at last……
He still felt that it was best to be straightforward.
After all, the fact that the old man heard Pipa Ghost's pipa playing can be regarded as a secret that only the old man knows.
It's not like he never thought of using the old lady's name as a "shield".
But I found it was too easy to wear.
He and the two old men were complete strangers.
He could not estimate the tacit understanding between the old man and the old lady.
What confidence does he have that he can use the old lady to "deceive" the old man?
…
Apart from the old lady, it was difficult for him to find any other reasonable excuse to ask the old lady about Pipa playing.
So……
Rather than just looking for an excuse and being exposed by the old man, and then becoming suspicious and wary of his purpose and identity, it is better to get straight to the point and be honest from the beginning.
The old man was surprised, but he would not kill his target with a stick.
There will also be uncertainty due to his frankness.
As long as the old man wavers, that's his chance.
…
The old man was stunned.
Why!?
"How did you know?!"
The old man blurted out.
Immediately, the old man looked annoyed.
Isn't he just asking for it?
After living for most of my life, I was actually tricked by a young man...
The more he lives, the more he goes back.
…
The old man felt a little aggrieved.
To be precise, he became angry from shame.
He didn't want to talk to this young man any more.
He said angrily, "This is none of your business!"
He didn't want to talk more about this topic.
After saying this, the old man will leave.
He was thinking that it might not be appropriate for him to go out today.
…
"Old man."
The old man's rejection of this topic was more serious than Xiao Xiao originally thought.
He didn't even ask how he knew the old man's secret.
Xiao Xiao stood in front of the old man.
…
"Step aside!"
After trying several times and finding that he could not get rid of the young man blocking his way, the old man growled.
The intense emotions made the old man's whole body seem to be trembling.
…
"Old man, are you troubled by the sound of the pipa that only you hear recently?"
Xiao Xiao released his "ultimate move" again.
…
As he expected, the old man seemed to have been pressed on the pause button.
The whole body was still.
…
After a while, the old man raised his head somewhat stiffly.
This young man is really tall.
This emotion flashed through the old man's mind.
The old man took a deep breath.
He was a little frightened.
If only he could have turned a blind eye to the young man's first question -
Maybe he inadvertently showed his dislike for Pipa without realizing it.
Then someone else discovered it.
but……
He heard the pipa playing during this time...
He only said it to the old woman.
oh.
The old man suddenly thought that perhaps the neighbors he had visited could guess something about this.
Could it be...
wrong.
The old man shook his head.
The most the neighbors could tell was that he heard the sound of the pipa.
But……
They won't know... So far, he is the only one who has heard the sound of the pipa.
this matter……
Only the old lady knows if it is true.
Could it be...
Did the old woman tell others?
…
The old man's mind became a mess.
One guess after another emerged, only to be covered by new guesses.
He couldn't help but reach out and press his temple hard.
It seems that the last time he had such a headache was the last time... when he knocked on the doors of many neighbors and found nothing.
…
It's all because of Pipa.
…
"Old man."
Xiao Xiao called out.
The old man with a tangled and confused face was suddenly startled.
He looked up at the young man in front of him with some panic.
"Varied-
"ah……"
After a few seconds of speech disorder, the old man tried his best to regain his composure.
