Chapter 6 6. Seeing the old lady again

The child looked indifferently and looked straight at her, "Have you finished asking? Is it my turn?"

Jiang Yingbai replied, "What do you want to know?"

The child is obviously a very strong person, if he goes against him, he will prove himself with useful things.

There are principles and bottom lines, Jiang Yingbai likes this kind of person the most, it's so easy to handle.

The child asked, "Who are you?"

"Your brother Wei Ze's friend," Jiang Yingbai thought the kid was quite interesting, and spoke in an old-fashioned way.

The child quickly exposed her lie, "You are talking nonsense."

The milky voice in the milk is full of unquestionable affirmation.

"I didn't," Jiang Yingbai was unhappy, she didn't lie that she was Wei Ze's friend.

"It's impossible for outsiders to come in here. You can't be fooled. As the smartest boy in the world, I—" the child looked at Jiang Yingbai again with disdain.

"I don't believe what you said, isn't there an old grandma in the backyard?" Jiang Yingbai took the opportunity to mention the old grandma, maybe the child knows something.

The child snorted and was stimulated by Jiang Yingbai's distrustful attitude.

He is the smartest good boy, except for this strange sister in front of him, no one has ever treated him like this, he can't accept Jiang Yingbai's attitude at all.

You know everyone who met him before called him a good boy.

"Huh, grandma doesn't count. She has never come in. I asked her to come in, but she never..."

The child didn't continue to say the following words, he covered his mouth and realized that such embarrassing things should not be spread outside.

Jiang Yingbai raised his eyebrows when he heard that he could talk to the old lady, and she retorted directly, "I saw her come in last time."

The child became impatient, "I'll take you to find her now!"

"I'm busy, I don't have time to mess around with you," Jiang Yingbai refused.

The child anxiously reached out to grab Jiang Yingbai's hand, for fear that Jiang Yingbai would not believe him.

"Let the smartest good boy in the world tell you the truth! Let's leave now."

The smartest kid in the world cannot be misunderstood, and he must now tell this ignorant person the truth and make her realize how ignorant she is.

Jiang Yingbai looked half-hearted all the way, but he was happy in his heart, "Then I'll just have to play around with you for once."

The scent of flowers on both sides of the Qingshiban road at the back door is overflowing, 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.

Midway through, Jiang Yingbai decided to confirm, "Have you spoken to that old lady?"

The child shook his head unhappily, "No, that grandma doesn't want to talk to me, and she ignores me when I talk to her."

Children have always been very concerned about this. The smartest and good boy in the world should not be ignored. The smartest and good boy in the world should be praised, envied and supported by everyone.

Jiang Yingbai vaguely felt something was wrong, "Is she just not answering your question?"

The child's pace slowed down a lot, and he organized his language to speak out all the questions that had been puzzled in his heart.

"Yeah, grandma is very strange and can't seem to see me. The back door is always open. She never comes in. She always talks to herself in the back, or burns paper money, or stares 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 are doors like this on the left and right sides of the compound, both of which are solid wood composite double doors.

Maybe Wei Ze wasn't worried about anyone getting in, so he didn't lock it, and it opened with just a push, whether from the inside or the outside.

The child shook his head again, "But it's not polite at all, it's not what a good boy should do."

Jiang Yingbai was surprised that this child was so sensible.

The child snorted softly and raised his head with his hands on his hips, his face was full of pride and his nose almost stared into the sky, "Hmph, I'm the smartest boy in the world!"

"Okay, okay, the smartest kid in the world, please take me to the old grandma."

Jiang Yingbai rubbed the child's head, the child was full of reluctance, but he didn't avoid Jiang Yingbai's hand because of that good boy.

"Hmph, fool, I'm the smartest good boy in the world," the child said with emphasis when he said "good".

Jiang Yingbai was amused by the child's words, as expected, he was still a child, and only children can be so competitive.

The child only glanced at the door before raising his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, he was already confident, he raised his finger.

"Look, isn't the old lady outside? I didn't lie to you."

Jiang Yingbai looked in the direction the child was pointing at, and was facing fireworks lightly dancing in a big brazier 5 meters in front of the gate.

Behind the green smoke, the old man with white hair closed his eyes and put his hands together, squatting on the ground with his head lowered and pious, 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 lord, isn't that obvious? Of course I'm praying. Let's go there later. Disturbing other people's business is not something a good boy would do."

Jiang Yingbai nodded in agreement, she was thinking about the reason why the grandmother ran away without seeing her this time.

Last time she ran away without even seeing the old lady clearly.

The paper house in the iron pot gradually burned out, and the flames weakened. The grandmother'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 lady ignored Jiang Yingbai's approach, she stared straight at the boy behind Jiang Yingbai.

The old man shuddered, she felt that there was someone standing there, but she looked carefully for a long time, but there was nothing there.

The child didn't seem to have expected that the grandmother would look at him with surprise in his eyes, and then he calmed down, with a sweet smile on his face.

"Excuse me, do you need help?"

Seeing Jiang Yingbai almost jumped up and scolded him, hey, this guy treats her so badly, yet he is so polite to others!
The old woman shrank back in fear, pursed her lips, lowered her head, and answered Jiang Yingbai's words, "I'm afraid my grandson is hungry down there."

Thinking of the white-haired man giving away the black-haired man, the old man became even more sad. He took out a paper cart from the sack and threw it into the black pot. The flames creaked.

The child clenched his fists and loosened them again. As a qualified good boy, he was sympathetic to the point where he didn't worry about why the old man didn't answer his question.

Jiang Yingbai asked curiously, "Why did you choose to come here?"

"My grandson disappeared here, 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 with no food. I’m full and not well-dressed…”

As he said that, the old man cried, and the tears fell straight down.

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 he didn't come back to look for you because of the delay."

The child behind him looked at everything with growing despair, he clenched his fists and remained still.

There has always been a guess in his mind, and everything that happened before him told him that the guess was right.

But he didn't dare to think about it deeply, he was afraid that he would collapse.

Jiang Yingbai was in a hurry to comfort the out-of-control old man, completely oblivious to the child's abnormal behavior.

It took a long time for the old man's mood to return to normal, but his wrinkled face was even more haggard, and the question he asked was creepy, "Where did you come from?"

Jiang Yingbai was not surprised at all, she had already discovered that this place was abnormal, and she would not be surprised by what the old grandma said.

But she was worried that this 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 no unusual expression on his face.

He suddenly grinned, just like before, smiling confidently and proudly.

"I know she can't see me and the yard. I'm the smartest kid in the world."
