Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5878 Little Flower
"...My wife fell down..."

"gone."

The old lady smiled.

Her eyebrows and eyes drooped, as if she was about to cry.

"Isn't it a ridiculous way to die?"

"That old man..."

"He was strong-willed his whole life..."

"And it all started because of this..."

"reason……"

"...The old man is gone."

"He left just like that."

A sigh escaped the old woman's voice, "She abandoned me."

"You clearly said before..."

"You have to walk behind me."

"So as not to make me sad."

"He doesn't want to see me crying and looking ugly."

"I don't want to be alone in an empty room."

"cut."

The old lady pursed her lips, her eyes slightly red.

"He went to heaven all alone."

……

The old lady lowered her eyes.

"...Sisi gave me a lot of comfort."

"do you know?"

The old lady looked up and smiled.

There were tiny tears in the corners of her eyes.

"I told it about my partner passing away..."

Before recounting this, the old lady apologized to the red-eyed python.

Because of her husband's unexpected passing, the old lady hadn't come to see the red-eyed python for a long time.

Half a month?
A month?

The old lady couldn't remember.

She was somewhat dazed and confused.

……

Then she talked about her husband's passing.

she cried.

She thought she and her husband would have another ten or twenty years, or even longer.

Unexpected events always come unexpectedly.

……

"...Guess what Sisi did?"

The old lady looked at Xiao Xiao with sparkling eyes.

……

Xiao Xiao was slightly taken aback.

Then he smiled and shook his head, "I don't know."

What did it do?

……

"It gave me a flower..."

The old lady's face lost some of its previous sadness and was filled with joy.

……

The old lady was stunned.

She thought she was seeing things...

flower……

What Sisi was saying...

It's a flower.

and……

Judging from Sisi's posture...

This is……

Flowers for her?

……

The old lady rubbed her eyes.

After wiping away the tears, my vision became much clearer.

……

It was a small, purplish-pink flower.

The gradient colors on the slightly slender petals are beautiful.

……

To be honest, such a pretty little flower doesn't quite fit the atmosphere of a red-eyed python.

While it feels out of place...

And surprisingly, it touched people's hearts.

……

"what!"

A girl's soft gasp was heard.

Then a man's voice came, "I told you, if you can't stand reptiles, don't be stubborn and come over here..."

"Are you asking for trouble?"

……

"no!"

The girl grabbed the boy and exclaimed, "Look!"

……

what?
The boy was a little confused.

what?
He took a few steps forward, following the girl's momentum.

He looked up.

……

"see it?"

The girl was very excited.

His face was full of excitement.

"snake……"

"A flower was being bitten in the snake's mouth!"

"and……"

The girl's face showed uncertainty, disbelief, and shock.

"it……"

Are we going to give the flowers to this old lady?

.....
"Did you see that!?"

Not getting a response from the boy, the girl shook his arm vigorously.

"This snake..."

"Was it to send flowers to that old lady?!"

……

"I saw it."

The man's hand rested on the woman's hand that was gripping his arm.

"...I don't know." "It seems..."

"seems like it……"

The idea of ​​a snake giving flowers to an old lady is far more surprising than a snake biting a flower in its mouth.

……

"This snake..."

The boy muttered, "Could it have become a spirit?"

……

The old lady didn't know...

From the beginning...

The old lady had been visiting the zoo and the reptile house for years. Finally, the red-eyed python was moved by her and came before her, listening attentively to what she had to say...

After that shock...

Today, at this very moment, is the second time that a red-eyed python has brought her such a great shock.

……

The old lady's mouth was slightly open.

"Sissi..."

The old lady's voice was very soft.

It was also a little hoarse.

"This is……"

The old lady's hand instinctively reached out to take the flowers.
Ok?
The texture of the glass startled the old lady.

she…..
Forgot that there was a pane of glass between her and the red-eyed python.

……

The old lady turned her head and looked around anxiously.

Her gaze swept over the girls and boys who were staring in astonishment at the red-eyed python.

She didn't care.

……

The old lady couldn't find any staff members at the reptile house for a while.

She then looked at the red-eyed python.

She continued what she hadn't finished saying earlier.

"Sissi."

"This is……"

"Are these flowers for me?"

……

The old lady's fingers were pressed against the glass.

From a distance, it looked as if the old lady's fingertips were touching a small flower.

……

More and more people have noticed this scene.

of course.

The supposedly growing number of people in the reptile house was actually just a handful.

To begin with, the number of visitors to the reptile house is already very limited.

……

The staff finally appeared.

She looked at the group of people gathered together with a puzzled expression.

What happened?
She came over.

……

The old lady turned her head anxiously.

This time, she spotted the staff in the reptile house immediately.

Her face lit up with joy.

"Xiao Chen."

The staff members in front of me are no longer the same ones who witnessed the old lady's perseverance and hard work firsthand...

The short-haired man who had been with her for many years, as well as her staff, had all retired by then.

They still keep in touch.

Before they left, they made a point of introducing her to the new staff.

Ask the new staff to take good care of her.

They also told the new staff her story about her encounter with the red-eyed python...

The new staff member looked at her with surprise.

The old lady was quite pleased with herself.

Her story with the red python...

But it's really amazing.

……

"Grandma Xu."

Xiao Chen walked over quickly.

"how-"

Why is everyone looking this way?

Xiao Chen's voice abruptly stopped.

She saw it.

What did she see! ?

Xiao Chen's mouth was slightly open.

A look of shock.

……

snake……

A python with red eyes...

A flower in its mouth?!
……

"Xiao Chen."

The old lady's voice was somewhat hurried due to her excitement, "You saw it too."

"Sisi gave me a flower!"

"I want to have this flower."

"These are flowers that Sisi gave me."

"Xiao Chen."

The old lady couldn't help but grab Xiao Chen's arm.

"sorry to bother you."

"Let me in to get this flower."

……

"it's out of the question."

Xiao Chen answered subconsciously.

……

The old lady looked utterly disappointed.

……

"This is dangerous."

Xiao Chen pursed his lips.

Finally, I came to my senses from what I had just witnessed.

She has seen many performances.

A performance at the zoo.

A circus performance.

Perhaps the performance on stage is even more amazing.

But it was nowhere near as shocking to Xiao Chen as witnessing this scene by chance on an ordinary day.
