Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5295 is a coincidence

"What did you say?"

Zhang Lei asked.

……

The uncle pursed his lips and repeated what he had just said, "...I really found two peaches on the rocks beside the river in the woods..."

“And then ate them.”

……

"It's just your fantasy after all."

Zhang Lei heard Zhang Chen's words clearly and quickly understood what Zhang Chen was worried about.

"Of course you compiled it based on your own experiences and memories."

So it's normal to find the real point.

"Isn't it?"

“Half truths are believed to be true.”

Making up stories may fool others, but it will never fool yourself.

……

"……Too."

The uncle nodded.

He felt as if something had suddenly become clear.

Yes.

He had always felt that...

Although everyone except him denied the existence of the old man, he still couldn't believe it completely.

It’s because the reason the old man said is true.

Or something he probably hasn't told anyone.

……

It was him who got into trouble.

Isn't it very easy to add your own experiences to something you have imagined?
but……

He was confused again.

"...I have forgotten about that..."

After all, it was really a small thing for him.

How could he...

……

Forget it.

The uncle shook his head.

Don't worry about this issue anymore.

How many years have passed?

Whatever the truth...

It all makes no sense.

……

“…What a coincidence…”

Zhang Lei murmured.

……

"what?"

The uncle felt that he heard Zhang Lei’s voice, but he didn’t hear clearly what he said?
……

"I said……"

Zhang Lei raised his voice, "What a coincidence."

"You found two peaches by the river..."

……

"Ah."

The uncle nodded.

what happened?
……

"My niece was also found drunk by the river."

Zhang Lei was quite surprised.

“They are all by the river…”

"Isn't it a coincidence?"

……

The uncle was stunned.

Zhang Lei said this...

"right……"

The uncle grinned, "It's true."

“They are all by the river…”

……

"Is this a coincidence?"

Zhang Lei frowned.

……

“Isn’t this a coincidence?”

Although it's really a coincidence...

But his experience was separated from the incident with Zhao Lei's niece by more than 20 years...

The address is also very different.

It can only be a coincidence, right?

……

"Ah."

Zhang Lei smiled awkwardly.

Yes.

Two unrelated people and two unrelated things...

Although the content is very similar.

It's all bad luck.

They all have something to do with the riverside...

But it's a bit awkward to force them together.

"It's a coincidence."

……

The so-called coincidence is something that makes people feel magical.

……

For example, before his niece was beset with bad luck, he would never have thought...

The experiences of my niece and my elementary school classmates are highly similar.

……

"You're no longer unlucky after you met that old man?"

Zhang Lei suddenly thought of a key point.

He remembered Zhang Chen had just said this...

really?
……

The uncle nodded.

"Yes."

"That day the old man left without saying goodbye..." "Let's just pretend for the moment that I really met that old man."

It's easier to say this way.

……

"Ah."

Zhang Lei had no objection.

……

"I always remember to give the peaches back to Grandpa."

The uncle smiled.

He is such a good boy.

Even though I had suffered a lot because of my frequent bad luck, after hearing the reason why the old man did this, even though I thought the reason was a little ridiculous...

Just such a trivial reason...

He suffered so much.

Of course he was angry.

But he was still willing to give the peach to the old man as compensation.

Really.

When he thinks about it now, he feels that he was so good at that time.

How can you be so innocent and cute?

……

"I asked my parents to buy me peaches."

The uncle continued, "Mom and Dad agreed."

……

"Hey?"

Zhang Lei was surprised, "Your parents agreed to buy you peaches?"

"Don't they believe in the existence of that old man?"

……

The uncle curled the corners of his mouth.

"Yes."

"They agreed."

At that time, he just felt relieved and happy.

Mom and Dad actually agreed to buy him peaches so readily...

"...Now I understand."

Yes, just now, when Zhang Lei asked him this question, he suddenly felt like something had clicked.

"They think if they don't agree to buy me peaches, I will always think about it..."

"It will make me feel bad about it."

"this is not good."

"If they bought me peaches..."

The uncle spread his hands, "Then there is no way to give the peaches to the old man...it's none of their business..."

……

"Yes."

Zhang Lei's eyes lit up.

"Yes."

"Your parents are smart."

"Your parents bought you peaches. They did everything they were supposed to do..."

"You can't blame them for not finding Grandpa later."

"otherwise……"

kid.

I really like to vent my anger on others.

The child was already very frustrated and angry because he couldn't find his grandfather...

Then, his parents who didn't buy him peaches would be a good target for his anger.

But after his parents bought him peaches, the child could only feel depressed by himself.

……

"Yes."

After so many years, the uncle discovered that his parents really captured me when I was a little kid.

"During those days, I brought peaches to school every day."

"Take the peaches wherever you go."

"I've been looking forward to seeing Grandpa again."

"I want to give the peach to Grandpa."

"but……"

The uncle smiled bitterly and sighed, "My last peach is rotten too."

"I still haven't found Grandpa."

"do you know?"

The uncle shrugged, "At that time, I even expected that I would be unlucky..."

……

what?
Zhang Lei was stunned.

why?
……

"Because grandpa said that my bad luck was all caused by him."

"Then if I'm unlucky..."

The uncle grinned, "Can I see Grandpa now?"

……

Oh ~
Zhang Lei suddenly realized.

That's right...

……

"pity-"

The uncle was slightly stunned.

He shook his head in amusement.

“Not being unlucky is certainly not something to be regretted.”

“But for me at that time…”

"Not being unlucky means not seeing Grandpa."

"I really want to see Grandpa."

"I really want to give the peach to Grandpa."

“…I am disappointed.”

……

"……Wow."

Zhang Lei shouted.

He understood Zhang Chen's thoughts at that time.

However, what surprised him even more was...

"You actually really did that after seeing Grandpa..."

"No more bad luck..."

Is this...

Is this really such a coincidence?
