Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5292 In Exchange
"Next time, pay attention to changes in the surrounding environment when doing anything."

“Don’t just rush forward.”

"Do you understand?"

The child's mother spoke with deep sincerity.

……

"Ah."

The child nodded obediently.

She got it.

……

This matter with the child ended somewhat anticlimactically.

After all, this is the only way.

……

Also because apart from being drunk, the child was not harmed in any way.

The adults gave the child a few reminders and let the matter go.

……

“…That’s probably what happened…”

Zhang Lei smacked his lips.

Talking about this matter again, he still felt the same complicated emotions as when he first heard his brother talk about it.

Surprise, curiosity, doubt, regret...

……

“Isn’t that a strange thing?”

Zhang Lei smiled.

"I don't know what happened..."

"Why is Tiantian drunk?"

"...still drunk..."

"Tsk."

“This will probably remain an unsolved mystery.”

No.

It is already an unsolved mystery.

There was no answer at the time...

So many days have passed...

It is even more impossible to find the answer.

……

"Ah."

The uncle touched his chin.

Don't say...

"…This is really a bit strange…"

The uncle murmured.

……

"right?"

A hint of doubt appeared on Zhang Lei's face.

Originally, his brother and sister-in-law told him about this. He felt strange when he heard it, but his brother and sister-in-law obviously didn't care about it anymore.

He didn't say much.

Besides, there's no point caring about it.

What can you do if you care?
There is no surveillance in the woods near the village.

The child himself doesn't remember anything.

Then bad things happened to the children...

This matter was even more forgotten.

……

It's just that Zhang Chen just asked him if his child had encountered any strange things during this period...

Then he remembered again.

……

No matter who you tell this to, they will find it a little strange.

……

The uncle shook his head.

I also haven't figured out whether there is any connection between this incident and the child's subsequent misfortunes?
He originally wanted to hold on to a slight possibility... thinking that maybe the child had also seen a strange old grandfather...

Ok.

It's he who thinks too much.

But what he didn't expect was...

When it comes to bizarre experiences, that child's is no less than his.

……

The uncle wanted to laugh.

He actually laughed too.

……

"what happened?"

Zhang Lei felt a little puzzled by the uncle's laughter.

Did he just say something funny?

He was vaguely unhappy.

He said it very seriously.

Which adult can smile when his own niece keeps encountering bad luck and suffering?

Just once or twice.

Four times, five times, eight times, nine times...

Is this too much?
The child is almost like a frightened bird.

Still a frightened bird with red eyes.

Because I'm always crying.

……

"no……"

Sensing the slight unhappiness in Zhang Lei's tone, the uncle explained, "I just suddenly realized..."

“There’s a saying that really makes sense.”

……

"What?"

Zhang Lei frowned.

……

"The world's great wonders."

The uncle said with some emotion.

……

what?
Zhang Lei was slightly stunned.

He probably understood what the uncle meant by this sentence, but he also felt that he didn't quite understand it...

Zhang Lei was a little confused.

……

"I used to think that many strange things were..."

The uncle continued, “But it won’t happen to ordinary people like us.”

"We only see it in magazines, on TV and on the Internet."

They will also doubt the authenticity of these things and confirm that they are not reports intended to attract attention.

The uncle shook his head slightly, "But now I realize..."

“It turns out that there are many things around us that are difficult to understand.”

……

Zhang Lei: ...He doesn’t quite understand...
Is Zhang Chen...suddenly becoming valuable?

But what he wanted to hear...

None of this.

But if it could really help his niece.

……

He is just daydreaming.

Luck is a thing...

Except God...

Who else can help?

……

"Zhang Lei."

The uncle looked at the silent man.

"Now that you've told me about your niece..."

In exchange...
"Then let me tell you something about myself."

……

what?
Zhang Lei was stunned.

He actually wanted to refuse.

He doesn't need such fairness.

But when I think about how many people have heard him talk about his niece...

He didn't have the courage to speak out.

Fine.

Isn't it just listening to a story?

Just listen.

Fortunately, he is free today.

Tsk.

If you don't have time, you have a valid reason to leave.

……

"You just said that I was particularly unlucky during a period of time in elementary school..."

Zhang Chen's eyes were dazed for a moment.

……

Hey?
Zhang Lei was slightly stunned.

This matter?

He nodded.

Yes.

Because his niece's situation was very similar to Zhang Chen's situation at that time, he remembered it immediately.

……

"I just wanted to ask you..."

The uncle grinned, "Did your niece meet any strange people?"

……

what?
Zhang Lei was slightly stunned.

……

“But I think this question is too obvious.”

Zhang Chen shrugged slightly.

“Just changed the question.”

"Ask your niece if she has encountered any strange things during this period."

"But I couldn't help it later..."

The uncle smiled and said, "Let me give you an example..."

"Like...did the child encounter any strange people?"

……

Oh ~
Zhang Lei suddenly realized.

Yep.

That's what Zhang Chen did just now.

So that's what happened...

He asked why Zhang Chen was hesitating just now?
Hesitating...

……

but……

Zhang Lei was puzzled.

Have you ever met any strange people or encountered any strange things?

Is there any big difference between these two questions?
Just ask directly.

Why change the words?

These are not strange questions.

……

"Maybe I..."

The uncle spread his hands, "'A guilty conscience'?"

……

what?
Zhang Lei was a little confused.

What does this have to do with a guilty conscience?

……

The master smacked his lips.

"because……"

“I’ve met strange people in my time.”

……

what?
Zhang Lei's mouth opened.

what?
……

The uncle didn't expect that in such a short period of time, he told the same story to two people.

"I met a very strange old man."

……

"Strange old man?"

Zhang Lei repeated subconsciously.

What a weird old man?
……

"Ah."

The uncle said seriously, "A dwarf grandpa with green hair and green skin."

……

"……what?"

After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Lei opened his mouth.

".......green hair?"

"Ah."

The uncle nodded.

"Green skin?"

Zhang Lei's tone rose a few notches.

"Ah."

The uncle nodded again.

……

"...or a dwarf?"

Compared with the previous two features, this one is not so special.
