Chapter 39: Fear of something
Xie Chen slowly put back his feet that were lifted in the air.
The old man was not frightened by the sudden scene after opening the door.
Even in that already cloudy gaze, there was a dull smell in it.
"Uncle?"
"Are you alright?"
Xie Chen asked tentatively.
As he spoke, the old man moved a little, raised his head and glanced at Xie Chen, feeling a little more trance on his face.
"Grandson?"
Xie Chen was stunned for a moment.
???
What grandson?
The old man seemed to be crying with joy, tiptoed to Xie Chen, and put his hands on Xie Chen's face.
Then he rubbed it.
"Grandpa won't take you here to the bathroom next time."
"Let's go home."
"yes, let's go home, we'll never come here again."
Xie Chen listened to the old man's words, and was a little confused.
Does this old man think of himself as his grandson?
But that's too much.
But think about it.
From the very beginning of meeting the old man, he has been shouting about keywords such as toilet toilet, you can imagine how deep this obsession is in his mind.
Maybe it's really related to his grandson.
But where is the turning point?
Xie Chen's head was a little confused.
Thinking of Luo Xi and Jiang Wanqiao just now, they couldn't see the old man at all, and the old man couldn't see them at all.
The incident itself is extremely strange.
"Could it be that the space is almost not just acting on me?"
Xie Chen grasped the key point of this, but there was one more thing that he couldn't understand.
If you count yourself, the characters that appear are already involved in three spaces.
Why aren't there scenes mutually exclusive with each other?
It stands to reason that it's not surprising that the space lock is anything.
But that's the opposite.
The old man has not affected the space around this swimming pool until now, maybe he may not be as he thinks, and he is definitely not a person from this time period.
Jin has only been for a short time, and Xie Chen is already about to go crazy.
All kinds of strange ideas jumped out of my head, and after a while, my brain was filled, but in the end I was rejected one by one.
"What went wrong?"
The old man held his face and looked at it, his already somewhat cloudy eyes were struggling to open, as if he was trying to see his own appearance clearly.
But Xie Chen, who is plagued by today's problems, still has his mind on this.
If the elderly do not belong to this time period, then why hasn't the surrounding environment changed because of the elderly?
But it doesn't make sense.
Although the swimming pool has not changed much, at least before the old man appeared, his room made a huge difference.
This made me have to wonder if the change in the room was caused by the pocket watch or brought by the old man.
If this contradictory question is overturned, then it can only be concluded that the old man was originally a character in this time period.
But since you are a person in this time period, why is it only you who can see it?
Jiang Wanqiao and Luo Xi, who were traveling together, couldn't even see the old man's figure?
But just when he was puzzled, and he hadn't figured it out in his heart, the old man holding his cheek grabbed his hand.
"Good grandson!"
"Grandpa found you today, you hurry up and go home with grandpa, let's not stay here!"
Xie Chen was thinking about it just now, and the old man's sudden words really made him a little confused.
"Huh?"
Before the end note came out, the old man had already taken his hand and walked towards the door of the bathroom.
Although his steps were slow, he could still see that the old man was very anxious.
Xie Chen immediately stopped.
"Wait, old man, where are you going?"
The old man noticed that he suddenly couldn't pull the dust, and the anxious look on his face became more and more intense.
"You are obedient! Hurry up and go with grandpa. ”
"Go back and grandpa will buy you something delicious."
When the old man was still dragging himself out of the door, Xie Chen, in order to avoid the Luogu language that appeared at any time, still stood firmly in place, and did not follow the old man's involvement.
After all, I still have to ask the old man some specific matters, and it would be too hasty to get out of this men's bathroom now.
"Wait, old man."
"You recognize the wrong person, I'm not your grandson at all."
The old man was slightly stunned, and when he turned around, his lips trembled a little.
"Silly boy, you ......"
"What are you talking to Grandpa?"
Xie Chen was also a little surprised when he saw the old man's appearance, but this reaction was still a little more intense than he imagined.
He is not his own grandson, and he can't imagine any useful emotions between the old man and his grandson.
"It was a mistake."
Xie Chen sighed secretly in his heart at this moment.
The old man changed from holding himself with one hand to holding it tightly with his rough palm, and his expression couldn't help but be a little depressed.
"I know."
"I know you resent Grandpa."
"I know it all."
"For so many years, grandpa has also been living in the shadow of losing you......"
"But anyway, this time, even if I fight for this old life, I must take you home!"
The old man's body looked a little thin, but the power displayed between the words was very shocking.
Xie Chen really had no choice, so he had to nod his head.
It can be regarded as doing things according to the old man's words.
"Alas......"
As soon as Xie Chen sighed, the old man happily took his hand again, this time not only his expression, but also his movements became very hurried.
It's like taking a treasure that everyone in the world is worried about, and I just want to put it in my pocket quickly.
Although staggering.
But even without his own support, the old man was still steady, and even walked faster than when he supported him.
In less than a few seconds, the old man had already taken his hand to the door, and he couldn't wait to walk out.
Xie Chen naturally followed.
It's just that the next moment the old man was stunned in front of him, and the whole person stood motionless.
The hand that was still holding Xie Chen's hand also became loose from dead tight, until it slipped quietly.
Xie Chen frowned, turned his head sideways and came to the old man.
"What's wrong?"
The old man's whole body was in a daze, as if he had lost his soul, and his head didn't even have any spiritual light.
“……”
Xie Chen thought that the old man might not hear clearly, so he put his mouth to his ear and asked loudly.
"Why don't you leave, old man?"
Only then did the old man look up at Xie Chen, and then his vicissitudes of life showed a kind smile.
"Do you know where your bathroom is, young man?"
Xie Chen's head was even bigger when he was asked like this.
Where is this singing?
Seeing that Xie Chen did not respond to him, the old man also shook his head with a sigh on his face, and then made the signature gesture of holding his hands on his waist.
"Forget it."
"Since I don't want to tell the old man, then I can find it myself, and I don't have to trouble you young people."
Xie Chen looked at the old man's sad face, and couldn't help but want to complain.
How can you get out of the bathroom, but you can even learn the weirdness of yin and yang?
It's just not the time to think about that.
Xie Chen shook his head, making his thoughts clearer.
But just as he was about to take the old man back to the bathroom, the old man began to tremble.
Even the movements are obviously a little cringe, and it can be said that even standing is a little unlucky.
Xie Chen was taken aback in an instant.
It's okay to be weird, but don't start getting sick as soon as you get out of the bathroom door, then the only source of clues you can confirm will have to be cut off.
Xie Chen immediately helped the old man at the first time, and then reached out to help him pat his back.
Who would have thought that the old man followed his gesture and took a few steps back, just nesting behind him.
Xie Chen looked at the old man who was blocked by himself, and he was a little puzzled in his heart.
From the moment this old guy appeared, it was as if he had never been normal.
This made Xie Chen more and more sure in his heart, this old guy is definitely a more important role in this copy.
"Boy, get me away, I don't want to stay here anymore."
Xie Chen was silent for a while, and only then did he speak after the old man raised his head and looked at him.
"Where?"
"And why hide?"
The old man's thoughts were completely clear at this time, and the cat leaned over and made a boo gesture.
"Don't make a noise, you send the old man out first."
Xie Chen's face was full of confusion and wanted to turn around and check the inside of the swimming pool.
Let's see what happened to make the old man so excited.
Just before he could turn around, he was already pulled by the old man's hand.
"Stinky boy, what are you doing?!"
"If you want to block it, block it for me, don't move around, okay?"
This also made Xie Chen more sure that there was definitely something behind him.
"Who are you hiding?"
Xie Chen opened his mouth directly, without any twists and turns.
The old man was stunned, obviously not thinking of the answer to deal with in advance.
"You...... You don't care about that. ”
The old man waved his hand, then pointed to the door of the swimming pool.
"Take me out quickly, or I'll have to complain about your service attitude."
Hearing that the old man still knew about the complaint, Xie Chen was a little confused for a while, is this old guy really stupid or fake stupid?
The previous muddy dementia appearance is completely disproportionate to the shrewdness of today.
"Just deliver it to the door of the swimming pool?"
"Yes!"
Faced with the question raised by Xie Chen, the old man was neat and neat, without the slightest drag.
Xie Chen, who had no choice, had to turn sideways to block the old man, and in the crowded swimming pool, it still took a lot of effort to get to the door.
But at least it wasn't discovered.
Xie Chen's eyes were already looking left and right, and after he left the door, the old man had disappeared without paying attention.
"I'm ......"
I almost burst into foul language.
I was still thinking of helping the old man out, and asked him something about it.
But now I can't even catch a single chicken feather.
But it's not without its gains.
There are now big fish in the swimming pool.
Xie Chen immediately rushed back into the swimming pool, and while avoiding the crowd, he ran straight in front of the bathroom just now.
