Chapter 236 Silly Child (2)

But Ah Yue muttered softly: "Calling in the middle of the night? Still panicking? Could it be that she was entangled in some dirty thing?"

Aunt Ling gave her a look of "you really understand", and then said: "The neighbors guessed the same way, so they persuaded the child's grandmother to take the child to see the goddess. The old woman didn't believe it at first, but later she saw that the grandson not only I always yell in the middle of the night, and I don’t speak. I always sit there alone and play with my head. I also feel that something is wrong, so I took the child to see the witch. It doesn’t matter. Guess what the witch said ?”

"say what?"

"say what?"

Shen Yao and Ah Yue spoke in unison and even leaned forward.

Aunt Ling rolled her eyes mysteriously, lowered her voice a bit, and said: "The witch said that the child's parents are worried about him, and they want to follow him day and night, and they will not leave until he grows up! "

God!

Shen Yao shivered subconsciously, feeling her back was chilly.

Ah Yue hugged her body even more, her scalp was a little numb: "You, you stinky mouth, don't scare us!"

Aunt Ling giggled: "I knew you would be afraid, but ah, I didn't make this up, it was all told by the neighbors who went to see the Goddess with the old lady. My Aunt Ling is famous for telling the truth, I definitely won't exaggerate half a point, so, the person who is looking for me as a matchmaker is about to break through the threshold..."

"What then?"

Fearing that Aunt Ling would boast endlessly again, Shen Yao quickly interrupted her.

"Later?" Aunt Ling shrugged: "The sorceress said that she could send the child's parents away if she gave her some money. , Alas! It's useless!"

After thinking about it, she knew that Shen Yao didn't believe in gods and ghosts, but if she didn't believe it, how could she explain that she came back to this place after dying?

In short, these things are still a bit mysterious, but she still doesn't believe what this witch said, maybe this witch is not capable enough?
"Then did the child find someone else later?" Ah Yue was more concerned about the child's problems.

Aunt Ling nodded: "Of course I did. The old lady has only one grandson to depend on for her life. But there is no other way. The money has been spent, and people have searched everywhere, but the child cannot be cured. Not only that, but I don't know if it is What's the matter, the child's condition is getting worse, not only yelling at night, but also during the day. Once he squatted at the door by himself playing with rocks, and a neighbor's child wanted to play with him Unexpectedly, the child fell ill immediately, shouting and screaming, and frightened the neighbor's child to have a fever that day, and it took several days to recover from the illness. Since then, the neighbors have been afraid that their child will be killed by the child's parents. Get entangled, and move away one after another."

That's why that alley is already desolate and out of shape.

"Oh, this is really a crime. How could such a good child be entangled by that, by that dirty thing?" Ah Yue covered her heart and sighed.

Shen Yao frowned and fell into deep thought, why is the child's situation so strange from what Aunt Ling said?It doesn't sound like something is entangled, but more like...

"Oh? Oh! What are you thinking? Did you hear me talking to you?"

After being pushed by Ah Yue, Shen Yao finally realized: "What's wrong, Master?"

Ah Yue shot her a look, and said: "See if you are thinking about that child too? Forget it, don't you want to find a painter? Let's not look for that child even if we spend money. Don't want to bring back a monster for less money?"

Said that monsters are light, but she actually wanted to say even worse things.Only thinking that the child is also a poor person, Ah Yue changed the word.

Shen Yao shook her head: "I want to see him, I will never give up until I see him with my own eyes."

"You!" Ah Yue hated iron and steel: "It's so clear what are you looking at? Be careful that the dirt on that child's body gets wrapped around you! Don't go!"

Aunt Ling also disagreed with Shen Yao going to look for the child: "Your master is right. Others are looking forward to running outside, but you are better off, insisting on jumping in. I can tell you in advance, some people just don't want you to pity them." Those who can help him, people like this, should stay away!"

Shen Yao smiled, noncommittal.

On the way back, Ah Yue repeatedly told her not to go looking for that fool in that alley, just in case, she even went to the breakfast shop herself and told Chen Xiang'e everything about it.

Of course, there is no lack of exaggeration in it.

When Chen Xiang'e heard it, she naturally had the same idea as Ah Yue, money and things were not as important as her own life, she didn't want Shen Yao to take risks just to save dozens of copper coins.

That night, Chen Xiang'e did not send the money in the store to Laicai Bank, but handed it over to Shen Yao, asking her to spend money to hire a painter.Painting skills are not important, the important thing is that people must be normal.

Shen Yao couldn't laugh or cry, and Chen Xiang'e was relieved after repeatedly promising that she would not go to the alley to find someone again.

However, if Shen Yao was such a person who gave up so easily, she wouldn't be called Shen Yao.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Shen Yao set off for that alley.

It was the time when the common people went out to buy vegetables and go to the market in the morning. Looking at it this way, the alley did not look so deserted and desolate.

"Mother-in-law? Are you at home?"

The door was still ajar, Shen Yao gently pushed it open, the situation in the yard was still the same as yesterday, but Shen Yao didn't see the old lady come out after shouting for a long time.

Haven't woken up yet?

Shen Yao looked at the lofty sun and felt that this idea was a little unreasonable.

That is going out?

The door is ajar, maybe the old lady is really out!

The old lady is not at home, so where is the painter?

Shen Yao's thoughts changed sharply, hesitating whether to go in and talk to the rumored sick child directly.

While struggling, Shen Yao suddenly felt a chill on her back, and when she suddenly turned around, she saw a man who was half a head taller than her, staring at her with good eyes.

"Ah! Help! Ahhh!"

Shen Yao staggered, her legs were weak, the door was clearly close at hand but she couldn't escape no matter what.

"You, you, what do you want to do? What do you want to do! I warn you, you'd better not come here, or I'll be rude!"

With an idea, Shen Yao put her hand on the dagger at her waist, but she didn't pull it out stupidly.

She hasn't figured out the details of this man yet, so she hastily pulled out a dagger, what if he is snatched away by him?It's better to win with one hit.

However, the imaginary attack didn't happen, and the other party didn't seem to understand what she said at all, and still stared at her blankly, his eyes looked like two dead fish eyes.

"You, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yao felt that something was wrong, just after she asked a question, she saw the man came over suddenly, then squatted down awkwardly, and started to play with the two small stones at her feet.

Ga?What's happening here?
Shen Yao was completely dumbfounded, and asked cautiously: "What are you doing?"

The other party still didn't hear or respond.

Shen Yao was speechless: "Are you deaf? Can't hear me? Or are you dumb?"

The opponent continued to bury his head in playing with his own stone, but there was no response.

The corners of Shen Yao's mouth twitched, and she took a closer look at the surroundings and the man. In addition to the small stone he just picked up, he was also holding a larger piece of broken green brick, and behind the half-open wooden door there was still All kinds of clear scratches, flowers, grass, fish and birds.

It seemed that he had been drawing behind the door, but she hadn't noticed.

Wait!

A thought flashed across her mind, and Shen Yao had an idea, and stared blankly at the man squatting in front of her: Could it be that he is the child Aunt Ling talked about?Is it the idiot painter who painted the whole wall of landscape and figure paintings?

This this……

Didn't Aunt Ling say she was a child?How is it a man?By visual estimation, this man is a head taller than him, so he should be eighteen or nineteen years old, right?Can this also be called a child?

Speaking of which, Aunt Ling can't be blamed for this, Aunt Ling just listened to other people talking about it, and never saw this child with her own eyes.Besides, didn't Shen Yao never ask about the child's age?

Cough, cleared her throat, Shen Yao also squatted down, but just in case, she stayed a few steps away from this man.

"Well, did you draw the picture on the door?"

The man didn't respond.

Shen Yao didn't give up: "You also painted the paintings on the outside wall?"

The man still didn't respond.

Shen Yao remembered her guess, became ruthless, and snatched the little stone that the man was playing with.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

The ear-piercing shouts sounded suddenly, especially loud in this desolate and quiet small courtyard.

Shen Yao was taken aback for a moment, and quickly put the stone back into his hand, and the cry stopped abruptly!

It turned out to be true!

Shen Yao couldn't tell what her mood was like, but she didn't expect to meet such a person in this place.

"What are you doing! What are you doing!"

The old lady who just came back from shopping for vegetables heard her grandson's cry as soon as she entered the door. She didn't even care about the vegetables she bought, and rushed towards Shen Yao hobbling and holding a cane.

"Grandma, don't do this, I didn't do anything!"

Shen Yao quickly stood up, supported the old woman who was about to fall with one hand, and easily snatched the crutch with the other hand.

The old woman was angry and anxious: "You, you, you little girl, you don't look like a good person! Today you come to bully our mother and daughter again, I, I will hit you, hit you!"
