Monster Tea Party

Chapter 6017 The Oranges Are Gone
"Ya Ya."

The woman's gaze was somewhat complicated.

She was initially very angry when she heard that her child had gone to a place where he had seen a large leopard.

How many times have I told this child?!

Don't mention the leopard again!

No big leopards!
That's fake!
The children just need to listen to them!

Just treat the leopard as fake!

Why are you disobeying?!
Why bother searching for the leopard's tracks?!
This kid...

Do we really want to let Chen Jing have her way?!

……

But as I listened to the child's halting narration...

The woman gradually calmed down.

The child is very smart.

They are also very decisive.

Once you have an idea, take action.

This doesn't quite match her impression of children as soft and cuddly.

But it was a performance she was happy to see.

The child was still young...

Although she occasionally felt that her child was too shy and timid, not good at saying no, and that his soft temper would make her suffer.

But she discovered...

In reality, children are not as easy to control as she thought.

Children have their own ideas.

They also have the decisiveness to put their ideas into action.

This is good.

really good.

Discovering this made the woman's anger towards the child's continued entanglement with the leopard lessen considerably.

……

The child has questions.

she knows.

No matter how much they say...

The child will trust his or her parents again.

It's very difficult to "lie through your teeth".

For children...

She felt she had really seen a large leopard.

She didn't understand why her parents said she was mistaken when she clearly saw the leopard...

If I had the chance to convince myself or my parents...

Children will try their best to do it.

……

The child's body trembled involuntarily.

Mother……

are you angry?

Are you going to scold her?
……

"Did you find anything?"

……

what?
A few seconds later, the child realized what his mother had said.

She looked up at the woman in surprise.

what?
Did she hear correctly?
……

The woman smiled slightly.

"Since you made a special trip there..."

"Did you find anything?"

"This can prove that you are right..."

"Or perhaps we are right..."

……

The child shook his head.

No.

She found nothing.

The leopard is not here.

That place was just an ordinary corner.

……

Ah!
A sudden inspiration struck the child.

To say that nothing was gained...

Not quite.

"The oranges are all gone!"

The child opened his eyes wide.

……

"The oranges are gone?"

The woman was taken aback.

what……

……

"Ah."

The child nodded vigorously.

“I looked at it very carefully…”

"There were lots of oranges on the trees when I came last time."

“I searched everywhere this time.”

"There are no more oranges."

……

The child was surprised.

There were so many oranges she saw last time.

They are densely hidden among the leaves that are the same color as themselves.

Finding each orange brings a sense of surprise and delight, like discovering a treasure.

She guessed that perhaps the green oranges were too sour, so no one wanted to eat them.

……

When she saw the leopard swallow an orange whole, she was so surprised that she opened her mouth wide.

Doesn't the leopard feel sour?

However, if you eat an orange without peeling it...

Will it be less sour?

……

Well.

The child still couldn't accept it.

She accidentally bit into an orange peel once; it was bitter and astringent, and tasted awful.

She immediately vomited.

……

"It may have been picked by the owner of the orange tree."

The woman smiled slightly.

……

what……

The child was taken aback.

Is that so?

She thought...

……

"Daya thought it was because some oranges were gone?"

The woman asked. ...

The child pursed his lips.

She thought...

The child couldn't help but whisper, "I thought..."

"The leopard ate all the oranges."

The leopard loves to eat oranges.

They still ate them one after another.

They ate very quickly.

……

The woman was slightly taken aback.

Did the leopard eat all the oranges...?

……

In fact, it's easy to verify that this answer can be eliminated.

All they had to do was ask the homeowner if they had picked all the oranges from the orange tree in their yard...

That will verify the answer.

This allows you to either obtain or eliminate an answer.

……

"what."

The child's eyes suddenly became bright and sparkling.

"If the leopard likes to eat oranges..."

"The oranges on this tree are all gone..."

"It will then go to other orange trees to eat oranges."

"Then maybe we can find it by looking for it on other orange trees..."

The child's increasingly agitated tone softened as he met his mother's gaze.

Until silence.

……

The child nervously bit his lip slightly.

She seems to be...

They got a little carried away.

……

"Ya Ya."

The woman's voice was somewhat deep.

……

The child was momentarily at a loss.

Somewhat nervous.

A look of anxiety appeared on his face.

she……

……

"you……"

The woman looked intently at the child.

……

The child's gaze involuntarily shifted to the side.

My eyes involuntarily reddened.

Is Mom going to scold her?
She forgot...

……

Looking at the child with tears welling up in his eyes, the woman sighed silently.

A few seconds later, seeing the child's face growing paler, the woman said, "...You still haven't told me why you argued with your friend?"

However, they did not mention the child's behavior just now.

……

The child was stunned.

what?
She stared blankly at her mother.

what?
……

"You still haven't told me why you argued with your friend?"

The woman repeated her question.

Looks calm.

……

The child opened his mouth.

Although I don't understand why...

But the child felt relieved.

Her mother didn't scold her...

Mother……

Doesn't seem angry?

……

The child didn't have time to think.

She struggled to squeeze out a sound to answer her mother's question.

Otherwise, Mom will remember what she said before...

……

The child touched his neck.

The sounds he made were intermittent and somewhat hoarse.

The child frowned.

She cleared her throat a few times.

"...I told Nini and Xiaohua about seeing the big leopard."

……

"What!?"

The woman's expression changed drastically.

The man was also taken aback.

……

The child was immediately frightened and stopped making a sound.

……

"Haven't we told you this many times..."

Despite suppressing her anger, the woman's voice still rose uncontrollably by several decibels.

"Don't tell anyone about the leopard?!"

……

The child's body shivered slightly.

She, she...

……

The man tugged at the woman's arm.

He looked at the child.

Why did you tell them?

"Because they are your good friends?"

The man softened his tone.

……

The child unconsciously swallowed.

She nodded slightly.

"They...they stayed with me..."

"...I need to explain to them why we went there..."

“They are very nice.”

"He is my friend."

"...There should be no secrets between friends."

The child's voice became clearer.
