Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5946 The Terrifying Old Lady

The child grinned foolishly.

……

After the old lady repeatedly emphasized and stressed this point...

The child never saw the leopard again.

……

The old lady and the old man had some doubts...

This child really hasn't seen a leopard since...
still is……

The child remembers what they said back then...

Even if you see it, pretend you don't?

If it's the latter...
The child's acting skills far exceeded their expectations.

They didn't notice anything unusual about the child.

If it's the former...

That would be perfect.

……

The two elderly people dared not ask the child for confirmation.

They were worried that the children had already forgotten about the leopard...

But when they asked me... I remembered it again.

Then I saw it again...

So they really are...

Why go through all that trouble?

……

Let the leopard disappear completely from their mouths.

No one should mention it.

……

Over time...

They really forgot about that incident.

……

It was as if they had never heard of this unexpected story before.

……

But today...

Because of what Leilei's friend said...

The old lady suddenly remembered this story that she had long forgotten...

……

The old lady had a strange expression.

There was surprise, disbelief, doubt, and even mockery...

A mix of emotions made the old lady's expression complex and hard to decipher.

It even made people feel a little frightened.

……

"Wow!"

The sound of a child crying startled the old lady awake.

The old lady suddenly came to her senses.

She felt a slight chill.

Sweat was forming on her forehead.

A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness.

……

The old lady looked in the direction from which the sound came.

What's wrong? !

……

Some chubby little boys opened their mouths wide and wailed loudly.

The child's mother was somewhat puzzled.

She skillfully and gently patted the child's back.

"Baby, why are you suddenly crying?"

"hungry?"

Where on your body do you feel unwell?

……

"very scary!"

The chubby little boy pointed.

"That old lady is so scary!"

……

The old lady was stunned.

The chubby little boy was referring to...

She looked around.

Ok.

There is no one else.

And the chubby little boy later talked about the old lady too...

is her……

she……

Thinking of what the chubby little boy had said, the old lady reached out and touched her face.

Is it scary?

her face...

like……

This is the first time...

It was described as terrifying.

He's still a child...

The old lady's emotions were somewhat complicated.

……

The chubby little boy's mother was taken aback.

Grandma...

She subconsciously looked in the direction the chubby little boy was pointing.

They happened to meet the old lady's gaze.

The chubby little boy's mother immediately looked away.

There's a strange sense of embarrassment, similar to being caught talking badly about someone behind their back.

……

"Don't talk nonsense."

The chubby little boy's mother lowered her voice.

She gave the chubby little boy a slight glare.

What was so scary about that old lady?

Although the glance was quick, the chubby little boy's mother was able to roughly make out the old lady's appearance.

There was nothing that would make the chubby little boy say anything scary. He had expected to see an old woman with a disability or a scar on her face.

The result was not as expected.

From the fleeting glance she had just taken, the old lady seemed quite kind.

so……

How exactly did that old lady frighten the child to the point of making him cry?
The chubby little boy's mother doesn't understand her child.

……

"All right."

In any case, the most important thing is to stop the child from crying.

The chubby little boy's mother whispered words of comfort to her child.

"Do not cry."

"fine."

"That old lady isn't scary."

"Look again."

……

The chubby little boy's mother believed that the one who tied the knot must untie it.

She lifted the chubby little boy's head and straightened his gaze.

"Look."

"Grandma is watching you."

"The old lady is not scary at all."

Do you still think old ladies are scary?

……

The old lady smiled at the chubby little boy who looked over.

She probably already had a pretty good idea.

It must have been her expression of being lost in her memories that startled the chubby little boy.

……

Look.

The old lady spoke from the heart.

This can all lead to misunderstandings.

She stood there doing nothing.

However, this has led to various interpretations from many people.

The little girl from before, the little boy now...

It's not that children are naive.

Children are more likely to express their feelings directly than adults.

Adults might have had all sorts of guesses when they saw her.

But it's different from children.

The adults won't come to verify this conjecture.

However, they did not do nothing.

They will spread this conjecture.

He told others that he met an old lady today, and that old lady...

……

Knowing this, the old lady reacted so strongly to her granddaughter's unusual behavior.

She "forced" the child to agree to her demands.

There's no room for wishful thinking in this kind of thing.

If a child's unusual behavior is noticed by others due to negligence...

The news will spread soon.

Various speculations will arise.

And by then, it will be necessary to prove that the child is normal...

It will be difficult.

Only time will tell.

……

Na.

The old lady thought of the culprit who caused her unusual behavior today—Leilei's friend.

I specifically sought her out and told her that something was wrong with Leilei...

……

The chubby little boy instinctively hid behind his mother.

A head peeks out a little.

……

The chubby little boy's mother chuckled.

She gently patted the chubby little boy's head.

"The old lady smiled at you."

"Smile at the old lady too."

"Be polite."

"Have your mom and teacher always told you to be a polite and well-behaved child?"

……

The chubby little boy frowned.

Ok.

The chubby little boy looked at the old woman.

He was somewhat stunned.

The old woman in front of him was not quite the same as the one he had seen the first time.

The chubby little boy looked a bit confused.

The old lady isn't scary anymore...

it's wired.

The chubby little boy tilted his head.

Did they change to an old lady...?

……

The chubby little boy gave a somewhat shy smile.

Then, holding her mother's hand, she asked her question, "Did the old lady get a different old lady?"

……

what?
The chubby little boy's mother didn't quite understand what her son meant at first.

what?
What do you mean by "old lady"...? It's a different old lady now?
……

The chubby little boy looked a bit anxious.

"That old lady was so scary."

"This old lady is not scary at all."

……

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the chubby little boy's mother suddenly realized what was happening.

"what?"

The chubby little boy's mother gently tapped him on the forehead.

"The old lady you just saw is this woman."
