Chapter 118: Suspicion that there is a werewolf hidden in the village
Suddenly hearing Ah Qiao talking about "money", my grandmother was startled.
Ah Qiao's voice is crisp, milky and sweet, and it sounds particularly innocent and innocent. Such a voice talks about the world's mundane things, and it is particularly disobedient to listen to grandma's ears.
Grandma's face stiffened for a moment.
"Grandma, if someone is willing to spend money on my paintings, I can do a lot, a lot." Archie's expression was very earnest.
Grandma suspiciously looks for Archie, wanting to blame Archie for breaking the agreement and telling his sister about donating money. Archie and Gogo are having a great time shaking hands, completely unaware that their grandmother and sister are talking about a sensitive topic.
"Clever girl," Grandma said jerkily, "don't think about this, you study hard, you can't use it for two purposes." ”
Ah Qiao was surprised by her grandmother's attitude.
It is everyone's responsibility to contribute to the family.
Why is grandma so evasive?
Grandma hugged Ah Qiao and said in a panic: "Girls, live simply." You don't have to worry about money. If it comes, it comes, and if it doesn't, there is nothing. This kind of thing, you don't deliberately chase it. You just do what you're supposed to do, and that's it. Do you know what you should be doing? ”
Ah Qiao was a little dazed.
After thinking about it for a while, she asked tentatively, "Reading?" Learn? School? ”
"Yes!" Grandma said to her with certainty, "You are at the age of absorbing knowledge, like when a sapling takes root, only when the sapling takes root can it grow taller and grow taller in the future." If you don't study hard, you won't make progress in the future. Sitting on the mountain is a loss-making business. ”
Grandma was still a little hesitant, but the more she talked, the more sure she became.
Ah Qiao was still a little puzzled, but after listening to her grandmother's metaphor, she suddenly became enlightened and no longer thought about buying paintings to earn money and contribute to the family.
Grandparents and grandchildren, you hold me, I hold you, swaying around, so unhappy.
"Whew-"
The howl of the wolf pierced through the night and could be heard far away.
Archie froze for a moment, and the fruit in his arms also pricked up his ears and turned in the direction from which the sound came.
Only grandma, more accustomed to it.
"Grandma, is this really a wolf howling?" Ah Qiao looked up and asked her grandmother.
"Is that fake?"
"Is it possible that a werewolf is barking?" Archie turned to ask Grandma.
"Werewolves?" Grandma laughed.
"In this world, there are indeed werewolves!" Archie said loudly to Grandma in an affirmative voice.
"I haven't seen it anyway."
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you haven't. You've never been to Milan in decades. Can you say that Milan does not exist? Archie crackled, and said the truth.
Grandma sneered: "Good you sharp-toothed young man! ”
Archie dropped Guoguo, took refuge beside his grandmother, and asked tentatively, "Yang Deyi's family, is there a werewolf?" ”
Grandma glanced at Archie strangely, her face quite displeased: "What nonsense." We don't want to chew people's tongues behind our backs! ”
Archie forced his composure: "When we go to or after school, we always pass by Yang Deyi's house. There was indeed a wolf howl in his house. It's true! It's true! ”
Maybe Archie's tone was too sure, maybe it happened to be that Ah happened to actually nod his head, and grandma's expression couldn't help but ponder: "Count, there is also a ...... in his family who is about the same age as you" Halfway through the words, grandma suddenly stopped her voice, and her face showed sadness.
"He has a child about the same age as us?" Archie keenly replied, "What about later? Where did the kid go? Taken by a wolf? Turned into a werewolf? ”
Living on the side of the mountain, the adults in the village like to scare the children with wolves, bears, and monkeys, trying to make the children more obedient. Children don't know how many times they have heard such terms as "being taken away by wolves", "being taken away by children", and "being taken away by the arms and limbs of blind bears".
