Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5721 Good Neighbor

Is Old Meng undergoing a healing process alone...?

Did it drive you crazy instead?
……

The plump old man and his wife both fell silent.

This conjecture is heartbreaking.

Thinking of Old Meng, struggling alone at home, licking his wounds in solitude...

They couldn't help but sigh.

……

"what!"

The plump old man looked as if he had just remembered something.

"I'll tell Lao Zhang and Lao Zou about this tomorrow."

"The two of them asked me about Old Meng last time."

"Could it be..."

"Do they know about Old Meng's situation?"

The plump old man seemed to be deep in thought.

……

That night, because he was preoccupied with this matter, the plump old man tossed and turned in bed for a long time before finally falling asleep.

The chubby old man slept in late the next day.

He got up in a hurry.

The plump old man's wife shook her head.

It's not a big deal...
In the old lady's view, things that have nothing to do with her family are not a big deal.

Other people's business...

Why are you so concerned?
They might just spit in your face and say, "Mind your own business."

……

"Have breakfast first, then go."

The old lady put on a stern face.

……

The plump old man immediately sat down obediently.

Ok.

He also realized that he had been too hasty.

……

After breakfast, the chubby old man calmed down considerably.

He was no longer in a hurry.

This issue……

There's no rush.

.....
The plump old man found Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou among the crowd watching the chess game.

……

"...That's roughly how it is."

The plump old man observed the expressions of Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou.

"What do you think is wrong with Old Meng?"

"I've never seen him like this before..."

"It seems like he/she has..."

The plump old man lowered his voice, "Like someone who's lost their mind."

……

"...You don't seem that surprised?"

The chubby old man looked at Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou with some suspicion.

"Are you guys..."

"You already knew?"

……

"what do you know?"

Grandpa Zou asked in return.

……

"I know Old Meng isn't normal."

The plump old man blurted out.

……

"Harmful."

Grandpa Zhang waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Nothing is clear yet."

……

The plump old man chuckled.

How did he accidentally blurt out what was on his mind?

He touched his neck.

"Cough cough."

"Last time you asked me about Old Meng..."

The plump old man changed the subject.

"Is it because..."

The plump old man thought for a moment, then continued, "Have you seen something similar?"

……

Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou nodded to each other.

That's right.

The chubby old man guessed very accurately.

……

"real?!"

Guessing is one thing.

Getting confirmation is another matter entirely.

The plump old man was surprised.

"You've all seen it..."

He gestured, "Such a thing?"

"Old Meng..."

“It’s not the first time…”

So surprised was he that the chubby old man spoke haltingly.

He thought that Old Meng from yesterday was just an accident.

Perhaps Old Meng just suffered some kind of shock...
……

Now I know...

No.

That was not an accident.

That wasn't the first time Old Meng had "gone crazy" like this.

Old Meng actually did have a "criminal record".

……

"We saw that time..."

Grandpa Zou frowned slightly. "Perhaps this is the first time Old Meng has acted abnormally."

……

"You've all seen it..."

The plump old man was still quite surprised.

"Old Meng..." "He lunged at someone else..."

"Want to hit someone..."

……

"The last time we saw each other, the other person was a child."

Grandpa Zou recalled the events of that day.

"Old Meng scared the child to death."

"Fortunately, Lao Zhang and I appeared quickly and stopped Lao Meng."

"That's how we avoided a major disaster."

……

That's just like him...

Yesterday, the chubby old man also put in all his strength to subdue Old Meng.

They stopped him from rushing towards the man.

Don't say it.

It was quite a struggle.

I'm quite tired.

I never expected this...

Others are the same as him.

……

They all tried their best to subdue Old Meng...

……

The chubby old man was somewhat amusing.

"Old Meng doesn't know whether to call it luck or bad luck?"

"We ran into it both times."

One time, Lao Zhang and Lao Zou.

One time, by himself.

……

"...leading to the failure of his objective."

If it weren't for Old Meng hitting someone, even the chubby old man would have felt sorry for Old Meng.

What a coincidence!

so funny.

The few people Old Meng was somewhat familiar with were these few.

As a result, none of them were spared; they all encountered the same thing.

……

Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou were taken aback.

On second thought...

It seems that's really the case.

They couldn't help but laugh.

……

"It must be God helping him."

Grandpa Zhang expressed his feelings on this matter.

……

what?
The plump old man and Grandpa Zou looked at Grandpa Zhang.

What do you mean?
.....
"So that he doesn't do something irreversible."

Grandpa Zhang thought, if no one stopped him every time he acted strangely...

What will be the consequences?
Will the little girl get hurt?
Old Meng will get a good beating, won't he?

The man wouldn't simply push him away or slap his outstretched hand...

Will Old Meng get hurt?
Will I end up at the police station?
When you contact your family then...

They discovered they had no family members...

What did Old Meng think?
……

The chubby old man and Grandpa Zou suddenly realized what was happening.

They nodded.

indeed.

……

"We are such good neighbors."

The plump old man laughed.

……

However, the plump old man soon frowned.

"...So this wasn't the first time..."

"We can't always be there to stop him..."

The plump old man shook his head.

"What happened to Old Meng?"

The plump old man's voice abruptly stopped.

Do I even need to explain what kind of shock Old Meng suffered?

After the passing of his beloved wife, his precious son also left him forever...

Old Meng had already shown them how strong he was by managing to hold a proper funeral for his son.

really.

We were just putting on a brave face back then.

Or……

The accident happened too fast.

The person hadn't fully reacted yet.

As time goes by, some wounds become more and more unforgettable.

Like a giant beast, it constantly gnaws at people's hearts.

It makes it hard to eat or sleep.

Unable to find relief.

……

"Really are……"

Grandpa Zou murmured, "...The shock was too great..."

So some...

Is he mentally unstable?
……

"Is this the only possibility?"

The plump old man sighed.

He encountered a change in circumstances, which greatly altered his temperament.

only……

"How did it become like this..."

"Is he being superstitious?"

The chubby old man didn't quite understand.

……

"He said……"

Grandpa Zou recalled what the chubby old man had just said.

"Did he see something bad about that boy?"

This was the first time he and Grandpa Zhang had received this news.

The old man they encountered, Meng, did not utter a single word.
