Chapter 36: Childhood Memories
CHAPTER XXXVI
"Now that you're here, let's go to your grandmother's house and reminisce about your childhood memories. Ji Ling said lightly.
Zhang Rui didn't speak, and there was a trace of bitterness on her face.
The past is like smoke, many things are blown away in the wind, and a certain moment in childhood is deeply imprinted in my mind and has never disappeared.
"Let's not go!" After Zhang Rui finished speaking, she paused for a moment, and then said with some uncertainty: "I heard my mother say that the building where my grandmother's house is located has been demolished. ”
"Are you sure?"
Zhang Rui shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, my mother didn't tell me in person, and I haven't seen it." ”
Ji Ling nodded and said lightly: "Since this is the case, it doesn't hurt for us to go and have a look, it should be exercise." ”
"It's getting dark, and if I go back late, my family will be worried." Zhang Rui lowered her head and touched her stomach, "My stomach is so hungry, let's hurry up somewhere to find something to eat." ”
Ji Ling touched his chin and stared at Zhang Rui, he felt that Zhang Rui seemed to be afraid of something now? It was very likely that it had something to do with her grandmother's house.
Seeing that Ji Ling had been staring at him, Zhang Rui's expression instantly returned to normal, raised his head, met Ji Ling's gaze, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Are you scared of something?"
Zhang Rui shook her head, "No." ”
"I don't believe it, so why did you have a scared look on your face just now. ”
"Why, don't talk nonsense, how could I be afraid. Zhang Rui denied. "Don't think you're a detective just because you're looking like Conan, I'm telling you, you're far from it. ”
Ji Ling stretched out his hand and pointed his finger at Zhang Rui. "There is always only one truth. ”
In the past few days, Ji Ling likes to watch this anime "Detective Conan" from the island country, the little ghost named Conan in it is very smart, nothing can escape his reasoning, and even more pretend, what is forced is that when he knows the truth, he does not tell the truth himself, but uses his uncle and other people to reveal the criminal, which is very powerful. When he said this, there was always a passionate background music playing.
"What an ugly Conan. Zhang Rui said disdainfully. "Please don't ruin my childhood, okay?"
Ji Ling retorted: "Ugly, that doesn't exist, I may be the most handsome Conan ever." ”
"Oh, you're still stinking and beautiful, see if I don't give you some color. Zhang Rui reached out to Ji Ling's waist and pinched his soft flesh.
"Beauty, I was wrong, please raise your hand and let me go. ”
"Hmph" Zhang Rui snorted lightly, and when she saw Ji Ling give in, she didn't continue to start. "That's pretty much it. ”
Ji Ling asked lightly: "Then should you tell me now, why were you afraid just now, what were you afraid of? Could it be that there is a big tiger in your grandmother's house?"
"Hmph, you only have tigers in your house. Zhang Rui rolled her eyes at Ji Ling, she wanted to refuse again, but after thinking about it, she decided to tell Ji Ling. "When I was in elementary school, I especially liked to go to my grandmother's house, as long as the school was over, I would run to my grandmother's house, and I had a great time at my grandmother's house, and I met a lot of children here. ”
"One day I bought a toy, as usual, I gathered my children to play with me, then a fat boy came over, didn't say anything, just snatched my heart toy, I was very angry at the time, went up to reason with him, he didn't listen, and hit me, I cried at that time, cried very sadly, because I was afraid that the family would worry, so I didn't tell them, and went back and said that I fell while playing. ”
"After that day, I thought that the little fat man would not come again, so he went out with his friends as usual, but unexpectedly, he still came to me, this time he didn't say anything, he came up and hit me, at that time I cried and asked him, why did he hit me, but he didn't tell me anything, after that, this happened many times, and gradually I began to fear him, so I avoided him. In order to avoid him, I stayed at home during the day and did not go out, only at night, but that person seemed to be everywhere, and I could meet him at night. ”
Zhang Rui's mood gradually declined: "I didn't like to cry much since I was a child, I cried the most during that time, I was scared, because of the fear of him in my heart, I vowed never to go to my grandmother's house again, so I never went to my grandmother's house after I went to junior high school, even on the day my grandmother died, I didn't dare to go." ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Rui's voice choked, and Ji Ling stretched out his hand and gently patted Zhang Rui's shoulder.
After a long time, Zhang Rui's mood stabilized.
Seeing this, Ji Ling smiled slightly and said, "Then we can go now!"
"Where are you going?"
"Your grandmother's house, of course"
"......" Zhang Rui frowned, he just said so much, the co-author said it for nothing, and his meaning was expressed so clearly, why didn't this guy understand it. "I'm not going. ”
"Let's go!" Ji Ling took Zhang Rui's hand and dragged her forward.
was suddenly pulled by Ji Ling, Zhang Rui couldn't help but be stunned, she found that Ji Ling's hands were so warm, so warm, and she didn't resist going to her grandmother's house very much, looking at Ji Ling, the corners of Zhang Rui's mouth were slightly upturned, what a hateful guy.
"Stop!" Zhang Rui shouted.
Ji Ling didn't stop, pulling Zhang Rui to continue to move forward.
"Stupid, the wrong way! My grandmother's house is not in the front, it is in the back. Zhang Rui scolded with a smile.
"Oh!" Ji Ling stopped, scratching his head, slightly embarrassed.
"Poof!" Ji Ling looked very funny, which made Zhang Rui on the side laugh.
Zhang Rui's grandmother's house is not far from here, so the two of them walked over, and when they were on the way, Zhang Rui was still holding Ji Ling's hand tightly, and she was thinking in her heart, if he met a fat man later, would he come over to beat him?
It took about half an hour for Ji Ling to walk to the small building where Zhang Rui's grandmother's house was located, and sure enough, it was no longer what Zhang Rui remembered, it was very unfamiliar, the house had been demolished, and the new house had been renovated.
Ji Ling looked at the high-rise buildings that had been built and sighed: "It seems that it has really been demolished, what a pity! I didn't let you see what you remember." ”
"It's okay, it's good that you can come with me. Zhang Rui's tone was a little sad, this place that once brought him joy was really no longer there.
Ji Ling nodded.
Zhang Rui sorted out her mood and said, "Let's go! Let's go back, I invite you to dinner, thank you for coming out to accompany me." ”
"Ji Ling, do you have anything special you want to eat?"
Ji Ling shook his head: "No, it's up to you to arrange it." ”
"Is there anything you can't eat?"
"Nope. ”
"Okay then, I'll be solely responsible for what you eat, and if you're not satisfied, then don't blame me. Zhang Rui began to think in her heart, how to teach this Ji Ling a lesson on eating, just after a few hours with him, he made himself cry twice, it was really hateful.
