But this is too strange...

“…How is it possible…”

Zhang Lei murmured in a low voice.

How could there be someone who can see it?

...

"I don't understand either."

The uncle looked into the sky.

His eyes were a little dazed.

“To me, that old man is very real.”

"I did see him."

"I said a lot to him."

"He also said a lot to me."

"How could it be..."

The uncle looked at Zhang Lei, "...a hallucination of mine?"

...

“… hallucination?”

Zhang Lei was stunned.

...

"yes."

The uncle smiled, "My parents told me..."

"I may have been exhausted by the continuous unlucky and a little mentally fragile."

"To divert this pain..."

"I came up with such an old man."

"All my bad luck is because of this old man."

"When my emotions have a catharsis, it will make me feel better."

The uncle shrugged slightly, "To put it bluntly, it's someone who takes the blame for my bad luck..."

"I don't need to be internally fucked."

“I’ll feel much more relaxed,”

...

Zhang Lei was stunned when he heard this.

His mouth opened slightly.

This, so...

It sounds like there is some truth?

...

"Really?"

The master grinned.

"I also think what my parents say makes sense."

"Especially I have never found that old man again..."

...

"You haven't found that grandpa?"

Zhang Lei asked subconsciously.

...

"Um."

The uncle nodded, "I have found a lot of places."

"I think I will be able to catch the old man next time I'm unlucky..."

“But no.”

The uncle shook his head.

"I've been looking for it for a long time and waited for many days..."

but…..

"The old man didn't show up again."

"I also……"

The uncle spread his hands, "No more unlucky."

"I mean the unlucky thing that is so frequent and inexplicable as some time ago..."

...

Zhang Lei opened his mouth speechless.

Zhang Chen gave him a lot of information.

He shook his head.

Oh.

Why does he feel like he is listening to a story of a thousand and one night...

...

"The peaches I prepared for the old man are also rotten..."

The uncle didn't know what to react, so he just smiled.

...

"peach?"

Zhang Lei immediately asked, "What peach?"

Why do you talk about peaches?

Did he miss the listener?

...

The uncle showed his white teeth.

"You didn't miss the listen."

"I didn't say it just now."

...

Oh~

He just said.

Zhang Lei was relieved.

It’s not that he was distracted and didn’t hear it.

...

“……The old man said he did the bad luck during that period…”

Every time the uncle said this, he still couldn't help but feel all kinds of emotions in his heart.

For example, absurd, surprising, unbelievable...

"I just asked him why?"

"Why do you treat me like this?"

...

yes.

Zhang Lei's face showed a sudden realization.

Why?

"Why did he treat you like this?"

Zhang Lei asked in accordance with Zhang Chen's words.

It can't be for no reason, right?

Similar to the antisocial personality in news reports?

...

The uncle smiled.

He did find that reason a little funny.

“…I said I ate his peaches.”

"two."

The uncle emphasized the number of peaches.

...

Zhang Lei opened his mouth wide.

He was full of shock, "It was because you ate his two peaches..."

Zhang Lei took a deep breath.

"He has made you unlucky for so long?"

He is Zhang Chen's classmate.

After so long, he could still remember this and tell his niece...

It can be seen that Zhang Chen was really unlucky back then.

So he left a deep impression on him.

As a result, Zhang Chen told him today...

The reason why Zhang Chen was so unlucky back then...

Just because of two peaches?

...

Isn't it a bit...a big deal?

Just two peaches...

How much is it?

Could it be that those two peaches are the legendary peaches of immortals - the Peaches that can prolong their lives?

...

"...You stole two peaches from Grandpa?"

Zhang Lei suddenly thought.

...

"No."

The uncle shook his head.

“Those two peaches are placed outdoors.”

“By the river in the woods.”

"I saw it and thought it was someone who forgot the fallen peach."

“The peaches look delicious.”

"I think it's a pity to let them break."

"Just pick it up and eat it."

"I don't know that the owner of the two peaches hasn't forgotten them."

"For this, I'm sorry for taking peaches without authorization."

"But he can tell me that I can compensate him for two peaches or more."

Instead of...

...

"yes."

Zhang Lei nodded.

"You ate his peaches, you ate a few, and you ate a few peaches, just pay him a few peaches."

"Will he lose no losses in this way?"

"Besides, you didn't mean it."

“As for doing so too much?”

Zhang Chen was so unlucky during that time.

Especially for a child, he suffered a lot.

...

"yes."

The uncle nodded, "I think so too."

"I ate his peaches and it's wrong for me."

"But I really didn't mean it."

"As long as he comes over and tells me, I will definitely be willing to compensate him for his peach."

"It's okay to pay a few more."

...

"yes."

Zhang Lei nodded.

What a simple thing...

Why did it become like that later?

"That old man..."

"It's too stingy."

Zhang Lei said it very bluntly.

"What are you calling this?"

"The tragedy caused by two peaches?"

"Although you were in a very bad luck at that time."

"But this reason is really..."

"It's a little funny."

...

"yes."

The uncle smiled, "I also find it a little funny."

Just thinking about how much suffering I suffered because of the two peaches...

He felt that he still couldn't laugh.

...

Zhang Lei keenly noticed the subtle changes in Zhang Chen's mood.

He quickly figured out the reason.

He immediately spoke, "But this is not necessarily true, isn't it?"

"Didn't you say that your mother and an old lady didn't see that grandpa?"

...

"Yes."

The uncle nodded.

“This is not necessarily true.”

But this made him even more uncomfortable.

Every time he wanted to complain about the old man, another voice would sound in his heart...

The old man is fake.

It's his fantasy.

...

He will be like a thorn in his throat.

Emotions are neither up nor down.

Instead, it became increasingly unhappy.

...

This actually proves that parents are probably right.

He really wanted to find an emotional outlet, a "scapegoat", and blame all his bad luck on that "scapegoat".

So that you can feel happy.

...

“…but I really ate peaches…”

The uncle murmured.

...

"What?"
