The child looked calmly and stared at her, "Have you finished asking? Is it my turn?"
Jiang Yingbai immediately smiled, "What do you want to know?"
The child is obviously a strong person. As long as you go against him, he will definitely come up with useful things to prove himself. He also has principles and bottom lines. Jiang Yingbai likes this kind of person the most. It's so easy to control.
If he wants to save face, let him earn it. As long as she can get useful clues, Jiang Yingbai doesn't care about that.
"Who are you?"
"Your brother Wei Ze's friend," Jiang Yingbai thought this kid was quite interesting and old-fashioned.
The child quickly replied: "You're talking nonsense," his milky voice was filled with unquestionable certainty.
"Hey, how do you know I'm talking nonsense?" Jiang Yingbai was unhappy. She didn't lie. She was Wei Ze's friend.
"It's impossible for outsiders to come in here. You can't fool the smartest kid in the world. I-" The child looked at Jiang Yingbai with contempt again.
"That's right if you say so," Jiang Yingbai had an idea and replied in a disdainful tone.
The child snorted softly and was aroused by Jiang Yingbai's disdainful tone. He was the smartest good boy. No one had ever looked down upon him except the strange sister in front of him. Everyone who had seen him before would call him a little genius. He Completely unacceptable.
"Huh, that's it. I've never seen outsiders come in. There's only an old lady crying at the back door from time to time."
"Do not believe."
The child suddenly became anxious, "I will take you to find her now."
"Sister, I'm very busy. I don't have time to fool around with you," Jiang Yingbaitou refused.
The child reached out anxiously to grab Jiang Yingbai's hand, fearing that Jiang Yingbai wouldn't believe him, "Let the smartest boy in the world tell you the truth, and we'll leave now."
The smartest kid in the world cannot be misunderstood and now he must tell this ignorant person the truth to make her realize how ignorant she is.
Jiang Yingbai looked half-hearted on the surface but was actually happy in his heart, "Then I'll just have to play around with you for once."
The fragrance of flowers overflows on both sides of the bluestone road at the back door, the air becomes sweet and sweet, and the small pond is full of lotus flowers. Although Jiang Yingbai has seen it several times, he still thinks it is very beautiful.
Jiang Yingbai was curious whether the old lady was avoiding just her or everyone else, "Have you ever talked to that old lady?"
The child shook his head unhappily, "No, that grandma doesn't want to talk to me. She ignored me when I tried to talk to her."
Children have always been very concerned about this. The smartest good children in the world should not be ignored. The smartest good children in the world should be praised, envied and supported by everyone.
Jiang Yingbai felt vaguely that something was wrong, "Is she just not answering your questions?"
The child's pace slowed down a lot, and he organized his words to express all the doubts that had been puzzling in his heart, "Well, the old grandma is very strange as if she can't see me. She never comes in and just talks to herself in the back, or Burn paper money, or stare at the back door in a daze."
The bluestone path has reached the end. Jiang Yingbai reached out to pull the back door, "Have you never tried to touch her?"
There is a door like this on the left and right sides of the compound. They are all solid wood composite double doors. Maybe Wei Ze is not worried about anyone coming in, so they are not locked and open with one push from the inside or outside.
The child shook his head again, "But this is not polite at all. This is not what a good child should do."
Jiang Yingbai was quite surprised that this child was so sensible.
The child snorted softly and raised his head with his hands on his hips, his face so proud that his nose almost went to the sky, "Huh, I'm the smartest kid in the world!"
"Okay, okay, the smartest child in the world, please take me to find the old lady." Jiang Yingbai rubbed the child's head. The child's face was full of reluctance, but because of the words "good boy", he did not avoid Jiang Yingbai's hand. .
"Huh, a foolish person is the smartest good boy in the world," the boy said with emphasis when he said "good".
Jiang Yingbai was amused by the child's words. Sure enough, he was still a child, and only children could be so competitive.
The child only glanced at the door and raised his eyebrows. The corners of his mouth were raised slightly. He already knew what he was doing. He raised his finger and said, "Don't you think the old lady is right there? I didn't lie to you."
Jiang Yingbai looked in the direction pointed by the child, and saw fireworks jumping gently in a large fire pit 5 meters in front of the gate. Behind the green smoke, an old man with white hair closed his eyes and put his hands together, lowering his head in piety. He was squatting on the ground, with a gray linen bag beside him.
Jiang Yingbai approached the child and asked in a low voice, "What is she doing?"
The child rolled his eyes and also lowered his voice, "Stupid adult, isn't it obvious? Of course you are praying. Let's go there later. It is not what a good child would do to disturb others from doing their business."
Jiang Yingbai nodded in agreement.
The paper house in the iron pot gradually burned out, the flames weakened, and the old woman's closed eyes opened to reveal a pair of cloudy eyeballs.
Jiang Yingbai greeted him with a smile, "Hello, grandma, what are you doing here?"
The old woman ignored her and stared straight at the boy behind Jiang Yingbai. The old man shuddered and felt that there was someone standing there, but she looked carefully for a long time and found nothing.
The child seemed not to have expected that the old woman would look at him this time with surprise in her eyes. Then he calmed down with a sweet smile on his face, "Excuse me, do you need help?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yingbai almost jumped up and scolded him. Hey, this guy had such a bad attitude towards her, yet he was so polite to others!
The old woman shrank back in fear, pursed her lips and lowered her head, and answered Jiang Yingbai's words, "I'm afraid that my grandson is hungry down there."
The old man felt even sadder when he thought of the white-haired man giving the black-haired man away. He took out a paper cart from the sack and threw it into the black pot, the flames creaking.
The child's hands clenched and unclenched. As a qualified good boy, he was sympathetic, so that he did not bother about why the old man did not answer his question.
Jiang Yingbai asked curiously, "Why did you choose to come here?"
"My grandson disappeared here, but I can feel that he is not dead, he is not dead yet, he is here, he is here, but I can't find him, I am afraid that he is trapped in this deserted place Not enough to eat, not well clothed..." As he spoke, the old man burst out crying, tears falling down his face.
Jiang Yingbai quickly took out the paper from his pocket and handed it to the old man, "Don't be sad. Maybe he went somewhere else and was delayed, so he didn't come back to you."
The child behind him looked at everything with more and more despair in his eyes. He clenched his fists and remained motionless. He had always had a guess in his mind. Everything that happened in front of him told him that the guess was right, but he did not dare to think about it further. Afraid that I will collapse.
Jiang Yingbai was busy trying to comfort the out-of-control old man, completely unaware of the child's abnormal behavior.
It took a long time for the old man's mood to return to normal, but his wrinkled face looked even more haggard, and the question he asked was horrifying, "Where did you come from?"
Jiang Yingbai was not surprised. She had already guessed that the old lady would react this way, but she was worried that it would irritate the child. When she turned around, she found that the child was looking at her, as if he had guessed that she would look back at him. There was nothing on his face. Any unusual expression.
He suddenly grinned confidently and proudly, "I know she can't see that I still have a yard. I'm the smartest kid in the world."
