He couldn't help turning his head to look at Xiao Xiao.
…
Xiao Xiao was still concentrating with his eyes closed.
He was relaxed and leisurely, completely opposite to his troubled appearance.
The boy opened his mouth.
Finally, he looked away without saying a word.
He looked out the window again.
It doesn’t seem like I’m going to some remote place…
After discovering this, the boy's nervousness eased a little.
…
"About to arrive."
Before the car stopped, Xiao Xiao opened his eyes and reminded the boy to get ready to get out of the car.
…
Xiao Xiao got out of the car first.
The boy followed closely behind.
Stepping on the ground again gave the boy some inexplicable confidence.
In other words, peace of mind.
…
The boy raised his eyes and looked around.
This... is a residential area?
…
He couldn't help but stop.
…
Xiao Xiao turned around and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Follow up."
…
There was some hesitation on the boy's face.
He didn't know what this man was taking him to see?
A maple tree?
To be honest, he felt slightly relieved after discovering that their destination was a residential area.
fine.
It's not a strange place.
Then, he suddenly realized, did this person really want to take him to see the maple trees?
Otherwise, what else can you see in a residential area?
He knew that his guess was correct nine times out of ten.
The other party may just be careless.
Even though he emphasized that he wanted red maple leaves.
But it did not prevent the other party from taking him to an ordinary maple tree... and giving him an ordinary maple leaf...
It’s also hard for the other party to take a taxi to bring him here.
In fact, as for ordinary maple trees, there was one near where they were at that time.
Because I care so much about maple trees...
Whether it was accidental or intentional, he was quite familiar with the distribution of maple trees nearby.
But not here.
…
He never knew there were maple trees here before.
After all, all he knew were maple trees scattered in public places.
Like this one in my yard -
He had already seen Xiao Xiao stopping at the door of a house.
He had a guess in his mind.
It seems that their destination is that family.
Combined with what Xiao Xiao said before, the answer is obvious.
There is a maple tree in this family's yard.
Naturally, he had no way of knowing about the maple tree in such a private place.
After all, he couldn't just go to someone he didn't know and check on their yard.
…
It does not matter.
In fact, remembering the location of those maple trees was not his original intention.
It's just his brain that remembers it on its own.
he knows……
He has always been very clear...
Where is the maple tree he is looking for.
The maple tree has always been in the same place.
It seems like nothing has changed.
In fact, things are different and people are different.
Everything has changed.
…
The boy shook his head.
"I dont go."
The drooped shoulders made the boy look very depressed and gloomy.
He suddenly lost interest.
He didn't know why he followed a stranger to this strange place?
Maybe I was too excited...
As soon as the other party said he was going to give him a maple leaf and asked him to get in the car, he didn't have time to think too much before he actually got in the car.
It will be too late to say anything after we get in the car.
But when he finally arrived, the strangeness in front of him was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head.
Not here.
The maple tree he was looking for was not here.
…
The boy lowered his eyes and looked at the ground in front of his feet.
He actually... He had hoped that this person would give him a surprise in the car...
He really is...
Is he kidding himself?
…
"You won't come?"
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised.
We all followed the car here...
Is this considered...cowarding at the end?
Seeing the boy with his head lowered and his breath sluggish, Xiao Xiao was thoughtful...
Do you know that what you see next will not be what you want to see...or are you afraid that what you see next will not be what you want to see?
…
"The maple tree is in the yard."
really.
Xiao Xiao's words confirmed the boy's previous guess.
Nothing happened to the boy.
…
"Now that we're all here, do you really not want to go in and take a look?"
Xiao Xiao slightly arched his eyebrows.
…
The boy was about to answer-
A slight sound attracted their attention.
Xiao Xiao turned his head.
The boy also raised his eyes.
…
The door behind Xiao Xiao was opened from the inside.
"Master Xiao."
The old man's angry voice sounded.
…
There was a smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
"Grandpa Xu."
"Are you going out?"
…
"no."
The old man shook his head.
"Why is the old man going out?"
"We all knew you were coming."
"Did the old man come out to see if you're here?"
…
On the way here, Xiao Xiao told Xu Zizhen that they were coming to the Xu family's old house to see the maple trees.
Although the two old people are very nice and hospitable.
But he still wanted to inform the two old people through Xu Zizhen.
It's always a little too intrusive to come to my door rashly.
so……
He wasn't surprised at all that the old man knew he was coming.
…
I just didn't expect it...
It was because they had been waiting at the door for so long that they actually asked the old man to go out and check.
Xiao Xiao looked a little apologetic.
"Grandpa Xu, I kept you waiting for a long time."
…
"Harmful."
The old man waved his hands.
"Soon, soon."
"It's because the old man has been sitting for a long time and wants to move his body."
"Just come out and take a look."
"I didn't expect such a coincidence..."
The old man narrowed his eyes.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Master Xiao standing at the door, and he was also surprised.
….
"Is this the child that Master Xiao said he wanted to see Maple Tree?"
The old man's eyes fell on the boy not far away.
"Come here."
The old man greets the boy.
"No need to be embarrassed."
The old man thought the boy was shy.
Today's children are polite.
But sometimes if you are too polite, you will become more scrupulous.
Unlike the children at that time, they were heartless and rushed around a lot.
certainly.
I also received more scolding.
"My wife and I are the only two old people in this house."
"We like it best when young people come to play."
A house full of old people will inevitably feel a little lifeless.
The arrival of young people can allow them to be infected with the youthful vitality and vigorous vitality of young people.
Their mentality will also become younger.
As long as young people don't dislike it, they welcome young people to visit their homes.
…
"Master Xiao, you all come in."
The old man gave up his seat by the door.
After hearing the child Zizhen call him Master Xiao last time, and knowing the magic of the maple tree in the yard, he and the old woman followed suit and called him Master Xiao.
"If you have anything to say, come in and tell me."
What are you saying when you are standing at the door?
…
Xiao Xiao turned to look at the boy.
The boy's expression froze.
He never expected...that the owner of the house would come out at this time.
