After all, the fact that the old man heard Pipa Ghost's pipa playing can be regarded as a secret that only the old man knows.

It's not like he never thought of using the old lady's name as a "shield".

But I found it was too easy to wear.

He and the two old men were complete strangers.

He could not estimate the tacit understanding between the old man and the old lady.

What confidence does he have that he can use the old lady to "deceive" the old man?

…

Apart from the old lady, it was difficult for him to find any other reasonable excuse to ask the old lady about Pipa playing.

So……

Rather than just looking for an excuse and being exposed by the old man, and then becoming suspicious and wary of his purpose and identity, it is better to get straight to the point and be honest from the beginning.

The old man was surprised, but he would not kill his target with a stick.

There will also be uncertainty due to his frankness.

As long as the old man wavers, that's his chance.

…

The old man was stunned.

Why!?

"How did you know?!"

The old man blurted out.

Immediately, the old man looked annoyed.

Isn't he just asking for it?

After living for most of my life, I was actually tricked by a young man...

The more he lives, the more he goes back.

…

The old man felt a little aggrieved.

To be precise, he became angry from shame.

He didn't want to talk to this young man any more.

He said angrily, "This is none of your business!"

He didn't want to talk more about this topic.

After saying this, the old man will leave.

He was thinking that it might not be appropriate for him to go out today.

…

"Old man."

The old man's rejection of this topic was more serious than Xiao Xiao originally thought.

He didn't even ask how he knew the old man's secret.

Xiao Xiao stood in front of the old man.

…

"Step aside!"

After trying several times and finding that he could not get rid of the young man blocking his way, the old man growled.

The intense emotions made the old man's whole body seem to be trembling.

…

"Old man, are you troubled by the sound of the pipa that only you hear recently?"

Xiao Xiao released his "ultimate move" again.

…

As he expected, the old man seemed to have been pressed on the pause button.

The whole body was still.

…

After a while, the old man raised his head somewhat stiffly.

This young man is really tall.

This emotion flashed through the old man's mind.

The old man took a deep breath.

He was a little frightened.

If only he could have turned a blind eye to the young man's first question -

Maybe he inadvertently showed his dislike for Pipa without realizing it.

Then someone else discovered it.

but……

He heard the pipa playing during this time...

He only said it to the old woman.

oh.

The old man suddenly thought that perhaps the neighbors he had visited could guess something about this.

Could it be...

wrong.

The old man shook his head.

The most the neighbors could tell was that he heard the sound of the pipa.

But……

They won't know... So far, he is the only one who has heard the sound of the pipa.

this matter……

Only the old lady knows if it is true.

Could it be...

Did the old woman tell others?

…

The old man's mind became a mess.

One guess after another emerged, only to be covered by new guesses.

He couldn't help but reach out and press his temple hard.

It seems that the last time he had such a headache was the last time... when he knocked on the doors of many neighbors and found nothing.

…

It's all because of Pipa.

…

"Old man."

Xiao Xiao called out.

The old man with a tangled and confused face was suddenly startled.

He looked up at the young man in front of him with some panic.

"Varied-

"ah……"

After a few seconds of speech disorder, the old man tried his best to regain his composure.
