"Is there a tiger in the forest?"

"I've never heard of it."

As he said this, the old man carefully searched through his memory.

Then he nodded firmly.

Sure enough, no eyewitnesses said they had seen a tiger in the woods.

"I haven't heard of it either."

The old lady shook her head.

"Leilei is okay?"

The old man was surprised and worried at the same time.

Tigers can eat people.

"Leilei is fine."

The old lady's expression became a little strange.

This made the old man, who had relaxed his expression after hearing the old lady say that the child was fine, slowly frowned again.

"What's wrong?"

"Isn't it great that the child is okay?"

Since there was a tiger in the forest, he could understand why the old lady was so determined not to let the child go to the forest.

"The child is fine..."

The old lady murmured.

The image of the child talking into the air last night came to mind.

She took a deep breath.

"he......"

"What happened?"

The old man's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition for no reason. There was some urgency in his eyebrows, "Old lady, I have something to say."

"Can you please stop being so hesitant and appetizing?"

The old lady looked at the child and hesitated whether to express her worries in front of the child.

Children don't know the old man's struggles.

Seeing the old lady looking over, he took the opportunity to make his request, "Grandma, you talk to grandpa, and I'll go out first."

"Don't go!"

The old lady shouted sharply.

"Old lady."

The old man touched the head of the frightened and aggrieved child soothingly, then looked at the old lady with a hint of disapproval on her face, "Don't just lose your temper."

"Talking things out."

"Did the child do something wrong?"

"You have to tell him and he will know."

"You are the only one who knows the situation now, and both Leilei and I are in the dark..."

...

The old lady made up her mind.

"The kid's statement about seeing a tiger is not true."

"ah?"

The old man was stunned, "You said this kid lied?"

"I did not lie!"

The child who was shocked by the old lady's words instantly came back to his senses because of the old man's words.

He didn't lie.

Lying is a bad boy.

He is not a bad boy.

"I really saw a tiger!"

...

The child's words brought a bitter smile to the old lady's face, "It would be better if I lied."

But this kid is so serious...

"......What's the meaning?"

The old man's expression tightened, and the bad premonition that had been vaguely felt in his heart became stronger.

"This kid said right in front of me that he had found a tiger and was talking to the tiger..."

"But......"

"I'm behind the child, how do I see..."

The old lady paused for a moment before continuing, "I didn't even see the tiger."

"In my eyes, this kid is just talking to the air."

"......What?"

The old man felt that he understood what the old lady said, but he also didn't quite understand.

Probably... I don't quite understand.

But I don’t quite believe it…

...

"Grandma, what are you talking about?"

The child opened his eyes wide, he didn't understand...

"The tiger is right there."

"I did not lie."

"A tiger is so big..."

"Didn't you see that?"

...

"Leilei, don't worry."

The old man pressed the child's shoulder.

"Can you tell me in detail what happened last night?"

The old man looked at the old lady with a serious look on his face.

When he came back yesterday, his wife and grandson were at home.

The old woman is applying medicine to her grandson's feet.

He said he fell down in the woods.

His attention was focused on his grandson's injured foot.

I didn’t ask too much about the old lady’s process of finding her grandson.

Wasn't it just found in the woods?

Will there be any other developments?

Now it seems that what happened last night was much more than he thought.

...

"Leilei, tell me."

The old lady was thinking about leaving the forest last night, thinking about the child forgetting the tiger...

She knew that the child was lost in the woods, that the child had fallen...

But she did not ask in detail what happened when the child was lost.

...

The child glanced at the old lady, but pursed his lips and said nothing.

He was also a little angry at grandma's strange behavior today.
