"What did you just say?"
Zhang Lei asked.
...
The uncle pursed his lips and repeated his words just now, "...I really found two peaches on the stone beside the river in the woods..."
“And then ate them.”
...
"It's your fantasy after all."
Zhang Lei heard Zhang Chen's words clearly and quickly understood what Zhang Chen was worried about.
"Of course you compiled it based on your own experience and memory."
So it is normal to find the real point.
“Isn’t it?”
"Only half true and half false can make people believe it."
You can fool others by making up random things, but you will definitely not deceive yourself.
...
"……Too."
The uncle nodded.
He felt a sudden enlightenment.
yes.
He had always felt...
Although everyone except him denies the existence of the old man, he still cannot fully believe it.
It is because the reason the old man said is true.
It's still something he probably hasn't told anyone.
...
He is the one who is stubborn.
Isn’t it very easy to add your own experience to something you fantasize about?
but……
He was a little confused again.
“…that thing…I’ve forgotten…”
After all, that was really a small thing for him.
How could he...
...
never mind.
The uncle shook his head.
Don't worry about this issue anymore.
How many years have passed?
Regardless of the facts...
Nothing makes sense.
...
“…It’s such a coincidence…”
Zhang Lei murmured.
...
"What?"
The uncle felt that he heard Zhang Lei's voice, but he didn't hear clearly what he said?
...
"I said..."
Zhang Lei increased his voice, "It's such a coincidence."
"You found two peaches by the river..."
...
"Um."
The uncle nodded.
What's wrong?
...
"My niece was also found drunk by the river."
Zhang Lei was quite surprised.
“It’s all by the river…”
"Isn't it a coincidence?"
...
The uncle was stunned.
Zhang Lei said this...
“Yes…”
The uncle grinned, "It's true."
“It’s all by the river…”
...
"Is this a coincidence?"
Zhang Lei frowned.
...
"Isn't this a coincidence?"
Although it's really a coincidence...
But his experience is more than twenty years apart from the incident of Zhao Lei’s niece…
The addresses are also very different.
It's just a coincidence, right?
...
"Um."
Zhang Lei smiled awkwardly.
yes.
Two unrelated people have nothing to do with two unrelated things…
Although the content is very similar.
All are unlucky.
It also has something to do with the river...
But it was still a bit stiff to force them together.
"It's a coincidence."
...
The so-called coincidence is a magical existence.
...
For example, before his niece was haunted by bad luck, he would not have thought of...
The experience of my niece is highly consistent with that of my elementary school classmates.
...
"You're not unlucky after seeing that grandpa?"
Zhang Lei suddenly thought of a key point.
He remembered Zhang Chen said this just now...
Really?
...
The uncle nodded.
"Yes."
"The old man didn't say goodbye that day..."
"Let's just say I really met that old man."
This makes it easier to say.
...
"Um."
Zhang Lei has no objection.
...
"I always remember to compensate the old man with peach."
The uncle smiled.
He is such a good kid.
Even though I suffered a lot because of frequent misfortunes, after hearing the reason why my grandfather did this, I thought this reason was a bit ridiculous...
Just such a trivial reason...
But he suffered so much.
Of course he was angry.
But he was still willing to pay Taozi to the old man.
real.
When he thinks about it now, he feels that he was so good at that time.
Why are you so innocent and cute?
...
"I asked my parents to buy me peaches."
The uncle continued, "Mom and Dad agree."
...
"Why?"
Zhang Lei was surprised, "Your parents agreed to buy you peaches?"
"Don't they don't believe in the existence of that old man?"
...
The uncle bent the corners of his mouth.
"Yes."
"They agreed."
At that time, he just felt relieved and very happy.
My parents agreed to buy him peaches so happily...
“…I figured it out now.”
Yes, just now, when Zhang Lei asked him this question, he suddenly felt enlightened.
"They think that if they don't agree to buy me peaches, I will keep this in mind..."
"It will make me feel resentful about this."
“It’s not good.”
"If they bought me peaches..."
The uncle spread his hands, "The peach can't be given to the old man...it's nothing to them..."
...
"Yes."
Zhang Lei's eyes lit up.
"That's right."
"It's still your parents who are smart."
"Your parents bought you peaches, and they have done everything they should do..."
"You can't blame them if you don't find the old man later."
"otherwise……"
It's a kid.
I like to take my anger out loud.
The child was already very depressed and angry if he didn't find the old man...
Then, parents who didn’t buy him peaches are good targets for venting their anger.
But after my parents bought him peaches, the child could only be frustrated by himself.
...
"yes."
After so many years, the uncle found that his parents were really accurate in grasping the fashion of the little kid.
"Those days, I took Taozi to school every day."
"Take peaches wherever they go."
"I've been looking forward to seeing the old man again."
"I want to give the peach to the old man."
"but……"
The uncle smiled bitterly, "My last peach is rotten, too."
"I still haven't found the old man."
"Do you know?"
The uncle shrugged, "At that time, I was even expecting me to be in trouble..."
...
ah?
Zhang Lei was stunned.
Why?
...
"Because the old man said he did my bad luck."
"Then as long as I'm in trouble..."
The uncle grinned, "Can I see the old man?"
...
Oh~
Zhang Lei suddenly realized.
That's right...
...
"pity-"
The uncle was slightly stunned.
He shook his head a little funny.
"It is certainly not a pity to be unlucky."
“But for me at that time…”
"If you don't have bad luck, you will not be able to see the old man."
"I really want to see the old man."
"I really want to give the peach to the old man."
“…I’m very disappointed.”
...
“…Wow.”
Zhang Lei shouted.
He understood Zhang Chen's thoughts at that time.
However, what surprised him even more was...
"You actually saw the old man..."
"I won't be unlucky anymore..."
Is this...
