Chapter 5454 Are you still there?
Because Grandpa really hasn’t changed at all.
So it's not like grandpa to ignore yourself.
Twenty years of time can be said to be vividly reflected in his body.
…
The uncle raised his hand and started gesticulating.
"Grandpa."
"You probably don't recognize me anymore."
"I was so young when we met..."
The uncle compared -
The uncle paused.
He forgot how tall he was when he met his grandfather.
…
"...About this high?"
It doesn't matter anymore.
After struggling for a few seconds, the uncle roughly made a height gesture.
But he is still taller than grandpa.
Ahem.
The uncle thought about this for a while but still didn’t say anything.
The old man who watched his gestures should know this.
…
The uncle put down his hands.
It doesn't seem to be of any use if he describes it like this.
Unless he can come up with a photo of himself at that time.
…
The uncle sighed.
The current situation is truly a dilemma that he has never imagined.
…
"...You said I ate two of your peaches."
The uncle said this again.
Because the old man reacted to this sentence.
"But those two peaches of yours were placed on the rocks beside the stream."
The uncle worked hard to expand the details about the two peaches.
"I thought no one wanted it."
"I'll explain it to you then."
"I didn't mean to eat two of your peaches."
"If I knew you didn't throw away these two peaches, I definitely wouldn't eat them."
The uncle once again explained his behavior back then.
Did the old man believe his explanation back then...
He doesn't know.
Because the old man didn't say anything...
Just disappeared.
This issue is no longer settled.
Although I told myself that if the old man didn't believe me, he would never show up again.
However, I didn’t hear the old man say it himself...
Everything is just speculation.
…
"I said at that time that I would give you the peach as compensation..."
The uncle opened his eyes wide and tried to see clearly the old man behind the rain and fog.
"...Although I didn't mean it, I did eat two of your peaches."
"I'm sorry."
"but……"
The uncle frowned, "You made me unlucky..."
"Don't you think what you did is a bit too much?"
I was too young back then and did not fully react to the sudden facts.
He just asked the old man how he knew it was him who ate the old man's peach...
But I forgot to ask the old man this question.
certainly.
He's not that stupid.
He also thought about this problem later.
But it's too late.
The old man who could answer his question was missing.
Finally saw me again today -
ha.
The uncle still felt a little like he was dreaming.
He actually saw the old man he thought was his hallucination again...
This world is really magical.
…
Now that he had met the old man again miraculously, he had to express his doubts and dissatisfaction.
…
"Do you know how unlucky I was during that time... how miserable I was?"
Uncle controls his emotions.
Even now when I think about the experience during that period, the uncle still feels a little depressed.
After all, it was really unlucky.
That feeling of being unlucky no matter what you do is terrible.
No.
That's not what it feels like.
That's true.
…
"And the reason why I am so unlucky and miserable..."
If he heard this experience from others, he would laugh.
But if you put this experience into yourself, it would not be funny at all.
"Just because of two peaches?"
The uncle grinned.
"I understand that you are angry because your peach was eaten."
"Then why don't you just ask me for compensation?"
This is also something that the uncle is very confused about.
"And you want to... punish me in this way?"
"And he said..."
The uncle frowned, he really didn't like these two words.
"retribution."
These two words inexplicably made the uncle feel a little frightened.
…
"Just two peaches."
Uncle, don’t you know what’s special about these two peaches?
"Are they fairy peaches?"
"Or does it have a special meaning to you?"
"Is it given to you by someone very important to you?"
This is the only reliable reason that the uncle can come up with.
Because it was a gift from a close relative, it is extremely precious.
But even so...
He still felt that the old man's behavior was excessive.
He who does not know is not guilty.
He didn't mean it and he was willing to sincerely apologize.
unless……
Those two peaches are...relics...
If so, he's sorry.
…
"yes."
…
ah!?
It took a moment for the uncle to realize what sound had reached his ears.
He reached out and touched his ears.
He looked at the old man with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
"you……"
"Did you speak just now?"
"Did you speak just now?"
The uncle became a little excited.
He tried hard to hold back his emotions that were gradually bubbling like boiling water.
Don't get excited.
It's not too late to get excited if you can't wait for the old man's answer.
…
"It was given to me by my friend."
The old man spoke again.
There was a hint of seriousness in his calm tone.
…
"!?"
After a few seconds of excitement, the uncle realized what the old man had said.
He suddenly realized.
really.
It turned out to be a gift from a friend.
But……
"Even if it's a gift from a friend..."
"you……"
The uncle hesitated for a while, then asked with some caution and caution, "Is your friend still there?"
…
For the first time, the uncle saw a different expression on the old man's face.
The old man looked at the man with some strangeness and confusion.
"It's not here."
…
The uncle was slightly startled.
Not...here...
After a few seconds, the uncle suddenly understood.
The uncle was a bit dumbfounded.
"Grandpa, you misunderstood."
"What I said is still there..."
The uncle frowned and searched for suitable words to form a sentence in his mind...
…
"…Does that mean your friend is still alive?"
The uncle thought of the rhetoric.
To put it simply, it is...
"Is your friend... still alive?"
The uncle was a little unnatural.
This is really strange to ask.
But he couldn't think of any other more tactful way to ask.
…
The old man seemed to blink inconspicuously.
It doesn't seem like there is.
The old man's eyes glowed slightly behind the hazy rain and fog, like the eyes of animals in the dark.
…
The uncle's heart skipped a beat.
His question just now was still too rude, wasn't it?
Is the old man angry?
what to do?
The uncle just wanted to apologize-
"Of course they are still alive."
The old man said matter-of-factly.
"They'll live a long time."
"They are still there even though you are gone."
The elderly learn and use it flexibly.
I immediately understood how to use the word "在".
…
Uncle:......
no.
The question he just asked was very tactful.
How else would he ask?
This old man is still so...aggressive...
…
The uncle wanted to see clearly the old man's expression at this time.
