"What kind of vision is that?"
The old man curled his lips, "Everyone can see that the maple tree in our house is the most beautiful."
"Isn't that obvious?"
…
"Too."
The old lady smiled and said, "I can only say it was such a coincidence."
Hong Feng likes maple trees.
And their maple tree happens to be a monster.
Such a coincidence is really touching.
…
"Grandpa, grandma, do you all believe it?"
Xu Zizhen suddenly realized this.
…
"The facts are before our eyes."
The old man glared at Xu Zizhen slightly, "Do you think our eyes are dim? Or are our minds unclear?"
"You still don't believe this?"
"We're not old-fashioned."
"Besides, would you still lie to us about something like this?"
…
"of course not."
Xu Zizhen immediately expressed his stance.
But the old man immediately opened up the old score, "You still said you won't?"
"If your grandfather hadn't reacted quickly just now, you would have wanted to lie to us two old guys, right?"
"Well……"
Xu Zizhen sneered, "Aren't I afraid that you won't be able to accept such an exciting fact?"
"What if you think there's something wrong with my brain then?"
"..."
The two old men could not deny their grandson's words.
"Then why did you say it again?"
The old man was curious.
"Because you also saw what happened in the yard just now."
Xu Zizhen expressed his thoughts very frankly, "I think with that scene, the chances of you believing what I say will be much higher."
…
"……indeed."
The old man grinned and said, "You know very well."
As Sun Tzu said, if it hadn't been for the previous scene, the two old guys wouldn't have believed in the existence of monsters so easily.
…
"hey-hey."
Xu Zizhen smiled proudly.
But soon, he noticed the old lady with her head lowered.
The smile on his face couldn't help but shrink a bit.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
…
"What's the matter, old woman?"
The old man turned his head.
…
"nothing."
The old lady shook her head.
Seeing the old man's disbelief, she sighed slightly.
"...I just feel...I'm sorry for that kid Qingzhu."
"He was so sad and sad at the time...but we didn't believe him."
"Everyone thought something was wrong with him."
"If only we had known about the demon earlier-"
"grandmother."
Xu Zizhen smiled, "Uncle didn't even know that his playmate was a monster at that time,"
"Not to mention you?"
When nothing was clear, what Grandpa and Grandma did was understandable.
Moreover, as far as specific actions are concerned, the two old men did not do anything particularly excessive.
They did not cut down the maple trees they once said they would cut down.
By the way...if the two elders had really decided to cut down the maple tree...
How would Ling Feng react?
Well……
Xu Zizhen shook his head.
Don't think about things that didn't happen.
…
"alright."
The old man patted the old woman's hand and said, "Why do you think of coming here again?"
"As I said before, Qingzhu is fine now."
"Let bygones be bygones."
"Don't look for trouble."
"We want to thank Master Xiao."
"It was he who allowed Qingzhu to untie the knot in his heart that had been in his mind for many years."
The old man looked at Xiao Xiao.
"Thank you, Master Xiao."
"Thank you very much."
The old lady also thanked her.
The look on his face became much brighter.
She is not a pushover.
She just felt sorry for her son.
My son must have felt helpless back then, right?
"Thanks to you."
"If it weren't for you, Qingzhu..."
You may have to live with the regret of "asking for something but not getting it" for the rest of your life.
"Really, really thank you, Master Xiao."
…
"Thank you, Master Xiao."
Although he had said thank you many times before, Xu Zizhen still thanked his grandparents again.
Because he is really grateful to Master Xiao.
He finally saw his uncle's smile without any haze.
He is very happy.
…
"You're welcome."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
…
At the warm invitation of the two old people, Xiao Xiao had lunch at Xu's house.
Xu Qingzhu is also here.
It was Xu Zizhen who made the call.
After all, he told his grandparents everything.
There was no notification in advance, but I must inform my uncle afterwards.
…
After Xu Qingzhu received the call from Xu Zizhen, he immediately put down the work at hand and rushed over.
It was inevitable that I would feel a little apprehensive along the way.
…
As a result, things were a little different from what he thought.
His parents accepted everything Xu Zizhen said much easier than he thought.
They believed in Ling Feng's existence.
The two old men also apologized to him.
He raised his head slightly.
The corners of my eyes felt a little hot.
Soon, he looked directly at the two old people with a bright smile on his face, "Mom and Dad, it's all in the past."
"You have nothing to apologize for."
It was him who made his parents worry.
Instead, he should apologize.
…
"Ah, everyone is happy, everyone is happy."
Xu Zizhen grinned.
…
"You didn't tell me that someone wanted to buy a maple tree."
Xu Qingzhu complained a little.
If you tell him, he can solve it without Ling Feng taking action.
…
"You are busy at work, we don't want to disturb you with such a small matter."
The old lady smiled gently.
"And we know you love that maple tree and have no intention of selling it."
"Who knew that man was so persistent?"
Thinking of Hong Feng, the old man had a headache.
"It just so happened that he helped your mother."
It made him feel embarrassed to say some serious words.
The other party didn't know whether he was really slow or just pretending to be stupid, and turned a blind eye to his hint.
I really want that maple tree.
The old man really wanted to curse.
So he was very happy to hear what grandson said to Hong Feng later.
His grandson is really good.
...
After the meal, at Xu Qingzhu's suggestion, the group came to the yard.
Xu Qingzhu walked to the maple tree.
look up.
The fiery maple red lit up his eyes.
The vigorous vitality can't help but lift people's spirits.
I can't see the sick look that the child Zizhen said at all.
certainly.
He knew that that look was to "drive" Hong Feng away.
Now that Hong Feng has left, there is no need to maintain that look.
He had some regrets.
He also wanted to see Ling Feng pretending to be sick.
but......
"It's great if you're not really sick..."
Xu Qingzhu murmured softly.
The sunlight fell on his eyes through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
Um? !
Xu Qingzhu suddenly opened his eyes wide.
His face was confused and he had no time to react.
...
"uncle?"
Xu Zizhen noticed Xu Qingzhu's sudden change in expression, "What's wrong?"
...
Xu Qingzhu reached out and rubbed his eyes.
In the field of vision, besides maple leaves, there are only branches.
No... the white hair he seemed to have glimpsed just now.
Was he dazzled?
still......
