"How do you know Xiaobai lied?"

The old man was a little helpless, "Xiaobai saw the tiger because he was lucky..."

The old man paused.

He didn't know if it was good luck to see a wild tiger?

But it was good luck to see the tiger still safe and sound.

"Tiger is not that easy to find."

"How else could you and other people in the village never find the tiger?"

"noob-"

"no!"

A child retorted loudly.

"Xiao Bai pointed to a place and said the tiger was there."

"But none of us saw it."

"Yeah yeah."

"There are obviously no tigers there, but Xiaobai insists on saying there are tigers."

"Xiaobai just lied to fool us after seeing the tiger so many times without finding it."

"that is."

"We are not stupid."

"What did he say about the tiger?"

"We didn't see a tiger."

"...But Xiaobai is very serious."

"Xiaobai, is it..."

One child pointed to his head and said, "Is there something wrong here?"

"Nonsense!"

The old man scolded angrily.

The children were a little frightened.

But after all, it's not the first time I've been scolded.

They usually went to the house to reveal their tiles a lot, and they were scolded more times than they could count.

They were not that afraid of the old man's anger.

A few seconds later, a child muttered softly, "Then Xiaobai is lying."

"Either there's something wrong with your brain or you're lying."

"Children in the city also lie."

"I want to save face."

"They refused to admit their mistakes even after being exposed by us."

"They keep saying there are tigers."

"Where did the tiger come from?"

"I just said...if there is a tiger in the back mountain, why has no one in the village found it?"

"Before, we were told that it was bad for us to lie, and those who lie are bad boys."

"Didn't he lie too?"

"Xiaobai is a bad boy."

...

"Shut up!"

The old man roared again.

The chest rose and fell violently.

The children looked at each other and ran away in unison.

Only two old men with ugly faces were left on the spot.

...

Even though they were stimulated by the children's words, the two old men were still hesitant to ask their grandchildren for the truth of the matter.

My grandson is in a bad mood.

They can see it.

Not surprising either.

After all, my friends around me said that.

Several times they hesitated to speak.

Then, they discovered that their grandson was sick.

The two old men immediately forgot about the incident.

He devoted himself to taking care of his sick grandson.

...

One morning, they discovered that their grandson was missing.

The quilt on the bed was lifted.

They knew that their grandson must be leaving in a hurry.

Because this child used to fold his quilt neatly every day when he woke up.

They were also very moved by how sensible their children were.

This was the first time that they saw a slightly messy bedding on their grandson's bed.

They touched the sheets.

It's already cold.

Their already eager mood became a little more anxious.

My grandson is still sick.

Where did you go this early in the morning?

...

The two old men hurried out of the house.

Whenever I meet people on the road, I always ask them if they have seen their grandson.

Soon, the news that Xiaobai was missing spread throughout the village.

Everyone took action.

It's a big deal when a child disappears.

Especially since the child is still sick.

If something unexpected happens somewhere...

Everyone looked a little nervous.

...

The old man picked up the soy milk on the table and took a big sip.

His expression was a little dazed because of the memories.

If the old lady is aware of something.

It seems that the next step is the key point?

...

"...I discovered Xiaobai."

After a moment of silence, the old man finally spoke again.

The old lady said nothing.

She knew that the old man did not need her response at this time.

"He fell down at the back of the mountain where he entered the woods..."

Face down.
To be continued...
