The child said, "I don't want this birthday gift."
"alright, that's fine."
"Grandpa, grandma, I don't want it anymore."
The child expresses his or her thoughts eagerly.
She doesn't want her grandparents to be in trouble because of her.
…
"no."
The two old men immediately denied it.
They don't want their children to be disappointed.
I don’t want my child to retract the steps he finally took.
This is the first time they heard what the child asked of them since they learned about what happened to the child.
The child asked for what he wanted for the first time.
Other children will be disappointed and sad if they are rejected, but they won't think much about it.
But this kid is not.
This kid will think too much.
You will think that you have done something wrong.
Maybe I will never dare to make demands on them again in the future.
They don't want this.
…
"Little baby's breath."
Grandma showed a loving smile to the child.
"Your birthday is still a week away, let's save the surprise for that day, okay?"
…
Um?
The child blinked blankly.
Although she didn't understand what grandma meant, she nodded.
A vague hope arose in her heart.
She pursed her lips into a shy smile.
"good."
…
When there were only two old people left, grandpa looked at grandma and frowned, "You have given the children hope like this, but it will not be realized by then..."
"The kids will be disappointed."
…
"You have to work hard and see..."
Grandma also understood what grandpa said, "right?"
"It would be better for us to tell our children directly that there is nothing we can do..."
"Even if we say grandparents are trying to find their patron saint before their birthday..."
"Then the child will also tell us not to look for him."
Little Gypsophila is such a child with such a temper.
Once you see that they are a little embarrassed and hear a trace of hesitation in their words, the child will shrink back.
In this regard, because of the child's experience, they have no way to tell the child directly.
They understand how their children are doing.
I also feel sorry for the children even more.
…
"Only give her a positive answer..."
Grandma frowned, "My statement is not a definite answer..."
"I just had a flash of idea and thought of saying that."
"In the end, there was nothing we could do, so we prepared another surprise for the child..."
"That's also a surprise, isn't it?"
"The kids will be happy too."
"certainly."
"If there is a way..."
Grandma couldn't help but sigh, "I still want to realize the wish that the child told us personally."
…
Um.
Grandpa nodded silently.
…
"……what to do?"
Grandma reached out and rubbed her forehead.
"we want……"
"Where can I find the patron saint?"
…
Grandpa grinned, feeling a little ridiculous.
"None of us can see it..."
"Besides, it is the patron saint..."
"Could it be that we found it?"
…
An irritable look appeared on grandma's face.
"What should we do?"
"Little baby's breath..."
…
"……Grandmaster!"
Grandpa's frown relaxed, and his face lit up with surprise.
"Master Jiang!"
"Let's ask Master Jiang for help!"
…
"Master Jiang?"
Grandma was a little confused.
This name seems familiar...
…
"It's the master who came to the house to look after the children before."
Grandpa explained quickly, "I was introduced by the daughter-in-law of Xiao Li's family across the street."
"Do not you remember?"
…
"oh!?"
Grandma looked surprised and surprised.
"Yes, yes!"
"Master Jiang!"
"We can't see the patron saint, but Master Jiang can!"
"Master Jiang must have a way to find the patron saint!"
…
Grandma suddenly became excited.
"Quickly."
"Let's contact Master Jiang!"
"Let Master Jiang help..."
…
"Don't be impatient..."
Having said this, Grandpa let Grandma push him towards the door.
They knocked on the door next door.
…
After hearing their intention, the old lady of the Li family nodded happily.
She immediately contacted her daughter-in-law.
Explained the request of the two old men.
…
The two old men quickly received Master Jiang's call.
After thanking each other again and again, the two old men returned to their houses.
Naturally, they have to do this by themselves.
…
After being mentally prepared-
After all, the other person is a real master. If they didn't really want to fulfill their child's birthday wish, the two old people would not dare to disturb each other.
The old man dialed the number.
…
As time passed by, I became more and more nervous. After hearing the sound of the phone being disconnected...
It felt like I had been splashed with cold water.
…
No one answered...
The two old men looked at each other.
…
"play one more time……"
The old man took a deep breath.
Dial the phone number again.
…
The call was automatically hung up again because no one answered it for a long time.
…
The two old men hesitated for a while whether to continue making the third call or to call again later...
They called the phone number a third time.
…
Just when they thought they were going to fail again this time...
The call was connected!?
…
It wasn't until a suspicious voice came from the other side that the two old men suddenly came back to their senses.
They hurriedly spoke out.
…
Fortunately……
Master Jiang actually still remembers them-
No.
I still remember the story of Little Gypsophila.
The two old men were overjoyed.
Overly excited, the two old men stumbled a bit and explained the reason for their call.
…
"...Master Jiang."
"Please help."
"Can you help us find the patron saint who was beside Little Gypsophila before?"
"Please!"
"...We can pay!"
As if something suddenly occurred to him, Grandpa immediately added.
Master's time is precious.
There is no reason to help people in vain if they have no relatives or reasons.
He understands.
…
The master smiled.
"Actually, if you came to me to entrust this matter in the past..."
"I will refuse."
After all, his abilities are limited.
There is no way to find a monster without any clues.
He does not accept commissions beyond his capabilities.
…
ah?
The two old men were stunned.
But soon, grandpa reacted.
"Then now..."
…
"I suggest you try asking little friend Xiao Xiao for help."
The master thought of little friend Xiao Xiao, whom he had met not long ago.
Little friend Xiao Xiao is different from him.
Little friend Xiao Xiao is very mysterious.
Very powerful too.
Maybe……
How to find a monster...
Little friend Xiao Xiao has a solution.
…
certainly.
It was also because little friend Xiao Xiao had been involved in this matter that the master suggested this to the two old men.
otherwise……
In order to avoid making little friend Xiao Xiao unhappy, he would not do such a self-initiated thing.
