"Please, please always come to visit me, an old man."

Someone came to visit me when I was in the hospital... Even though I said I didn't care, I still advised them not to come -

After all, they are not related to me...

He was embarrassed to have people come to visit him in the hospital all the time.

But how could he not be happy every time he saw little friend Xiao Xiao walking in?

Besides...

Before little friend Xiao Xiao came, the doctors and nurses in the hospital almost regarded him as a lonely old man.

He is not.

Even if he doesn't want to contact his family, he is not a lonely old man.

He has someone to accompany him.

It's just that they can't see the tiger.

…

It's okay to be misunderstood.

However, he doesn't like others to look at him with sympathetic eyes.

He knows what they are thinking.

An old man who is hospitalized alone.

How pitiful.

But that's not the case at all.

He has no need for sympathy.

he's good.

It was difficult for him to explain this to them.

Let alone make them understand.

They will only think that he is trying to show off his strength.

The arrival of little friend Xiao Xiao made these glances disappear.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he felt more comfortable living in this hospital.

Otherwise, he would have been hospitalized for a long time this time.

Being looked at like that all the time was too much of a psychological burden on him.

Maybe he was thinking of being discharged from the hospital early.

…

"Now the old man wants to trouble you with some errands."

The old man felt that he was being a bit shameless, "I'm so sorry."

…

"Mr. Zhao, you're welcome."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "You are a guest of our Xiao's Teahouse."

"It's just running errands, don't worry about it."

Mr. Zhao was a little amused by Xiao Xiao's words.

"Then the old man who is a guest must be protected."

"I can ask little friend Xiao Xiao to help me run errands."

"I will be a loyal customer of your teahouse from now on."

The old man smiled happily.

"When the day comes when the old man can no longer walk, Huzi and I will come to your teahouse every day to report and drink tea."

…

"good."

The corners of Xiao Xiao's lips raised, "Xiao's Teahouse welcomes Mr. Zhao."

"You."

The old man smiled and shook his head, "It is indeed the young owner of the teahouse."

I always think about the teahouse.

…

"Let me tell you about my friend."

The old man looked out the window.

The window is half open.

Occasionally there is a slight breeze blowing the curtains.

The sunlight coming in makes it a little more lively.

Flashing and flickering.

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked calm.

Gradually, a bit of trance appeared in his eyes.

…

It was October of that year.

He remembers it clearly.

It's the third day of the long holiday.

He rented a small boat and went to sea alone.

No.

It's not accurate to say just one person.

And Hu Zi.

…

He is in the captain's cabin.

The tiger was lying in the middle of the deck.

Basking in the sun lazily.

The colorful patterns shine in the bright sunshine.

Even the snow-white hair that shines like pearls looks a little dim under the contrast of the gorgeous colors.

…

He has no destination.

Just sail to places where there are few people.

It's the long holiday period, so everywhere is crowded.

He doesn't like crowds of people.

You won't be able to enjoy the best scenery.

I don't like the hustle and bustle either.

Probably because he has been to vast and sparsely populated places such as deserts, grasslands, and rain forests.

He liked the vastness and openness of those places.

...

He could hear the wind stirring up gravel.

The sound that passes through the rocks...

He likes large tracts of weeds to be blown in one direction by the wind.

The clever little deer would tilt its head and look at him curiously.

...

He liked the constant chirping of birds in his ears.

There were also sounds of animals coming from far and near.
