Chapter 47 What do a bunch of frogs in a well know?
This time, Yin Qing simply stopped talking, grabbed Xiao Taohua, and turned to leave.
Little Peach Blossom made a face at her older brother, saying, "No way! I want to go home and eat braised pork."
Seeing that the person had left, the boy finally lost his patience, throwing away all his hidden politeness: "If you don't agree, I'll make you suffer! I'm very powerful; whatever I say goes. If I say I'll make you suffer, I'll make you suffer!"
"Ah, I remember now, this is the grandson of Tieguai Li."
"That's right. Hiss, how did it get here?"
"Don't you usually just mess around?"
The boy said smugly, "Now you know who I am, huh? If you don't listen to me, you'll be in trouble if I say just one word."
"I heard that the kid is mentally ill. He tells everyone he's amazing and that his words are always accurate."
"You heard about it too?"
"I heard that Tieguai Li said his grandson's brain was damaged when he was young, and this is where the problem is." Someone pointed to the brain.
Everyone suddenly realized: "No wonder, he didn't seem normal just now."
Everyone nodded.
Li Zhen was completely bewildered. This wasn't how things were going. Shouldn't they be worshipping and fearing him? Why weren't they paying attention?
Also, who's the one who's mentally ill? He's a normal person, okay?
"You're the ones who're sick! Your whole family is sick!"
"Look, they're about to lose their temper. At this point, you should go along with them. That's what I heard people say."
"Go with it. Wow, you're really something, your words are so useful, impressive!"
"Yes, that's impressive."
Li Zhen felt aggrieved!
Who is he?! He's Li Zhen!
"Hey, what do you mean by this! Are you looking down on me?!"
"No, no, I think highly of you."
"Yes, they think highly of you. Be good, hurry home, your grandpa is waiting for you."
"Yes, hurry home, lest you offend someone without even realizing it."
"Yes, yes, let's go quickly."
Li Zhen was pushed and shoved away by the crowd.
"No, meat, my meat..."
"There's no meat here, you're mistaken."
"No meat, no meat, we didn't see any meat."
Everyone thought they were incredibly kind.
What good would it do for such a mentally ill person to offend the Fuwa mascots?
So they actually saved someone's life.
Li Zhen was furious, but by the time he turned back to look for the person, they were already gone!
“You guys! You guys!”
"Oh dear, I have something to do at home, I have to go now."
"I also have things to do at home."
As he spoke, all the people who had been surrounding Li Zhen ran away.
Li Zhen was furious on the spot, but he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he was very angry!
He rushed home in a huff, slammed the door shut, and lay down on the bed, refusing to move.
"What's going on?" The person who came to visit Tieguai Li's family was full of doubt.
"He's probably out of his mind again." Tieguai Li remained calm, knowing his grandson's temper perfectly well as a grandfather.
"Hey, would you agree to this?"
"What are you going to agree to? You know what's going on up there. If I really went, I'd probably lose my life." He absolutely wouldn't do it.
"I really had no other choice."
"What can I do?" Tieguai Li asked innocently.
"You... forget it, there's really no way?" Still unwilling to give up, she wanted to confirm one more time.
"There was no other way! You know, none of the things I did back then were actually calculated; it was all just deception." Tieguai Li sighed as he spoke of the past. He was so powerful back then, but then the authorities cracked down on crime, so he naturally went into hiding. "Look at me now. Although I'm not as powerful as I used to be, at least I'm alive, and I'm raising my grandson."
Speaking of this, Tieguai Li still looked sentimental. Many who were more illustrious than him have disappeared without a trace; it's unknown whether they are still alive or have already passed away.
Hearing Tieguai Li say this, the other person knew the topic was about to end and couldn't help but sigh, "Old Li, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."
"You ask."
"Exactly, is your grandson really that powerful? Does whatever he says come true? Don't lie to me. Although everyone says your grandson has mental issues, I think, since your family was in that kind of business back then, is there really such a mysterious thing?"
Tieguai Li: ...
Tieguai Li wiped his face: "Old friend, to tell you the truth, my grandson really has nothing wrong with him."
"Impossible!" He often overheard Tieguai Li and his grandson praising his grandson's shrewdness.
Seeing the disbelief on the other person's face, Tieguai Li could only tell the truth: "It's only because you asked that I definitely wouldn't tell anyone else. This is all a misunderstanding. You know I only have one grandson. I don't know when the kid will find out what I used to do and think he has some special talent and comes up with some idea that 'whatever he says is true'."
Whenever he thinks about what happened back then, Tieguai Li wishes he could go back to that time.
But who knew that what was originally just a lie to his grandson would actually be taken seriously by him, and that he would continue to believe it without a doubt.
For so many years, Tieguai Li has dared not tell the truth, for fear that the child would not be able to accept it.
"The child was still young then, so I asked the people around to cooperate. The child was happy, but..." Tieguai Li didn't finish his sentence, but those who heard it understood. This was truly...
He didn't know what to say.
It can only be said that you reap what you sow.
He had been hoping for something, but now his hopes have been dashed once again. It turns out that all the mystical talk was just a lie.
"So what are you planning to do in the future? You can't keep lying forever, can you?"
Let's take it one step at a time.
"Yeah, that's the only way."
"grandfather!"
"Oh dear, grandson, what's wrong?"
"Come here!"
"Okay, okay, I'm coming."
Tieguai Li gave his friend a look and then went to his grandson's room with a sigh.
I don't know what's wrong with my grandson; he seems quite temperamental.
Li Zhen rolled out of bed, his mind filled with anger, and when he saw his grandfather come in, he said directly, "Grandpa, does whatever I say come true?"
"Yes, yes, my grandson is the son of God, it will definitely come true!" Over the years, Tieguai Li has said this at least a thousand times, he can say it off the cuff.
But today, Li Zhen was even more indignant upon hearing this: "But why does everyone say I'm mentally ill!"
"ah?"
"Grandpa, they all say I'm crazy. I want to curse them so they'll never have enough to eat!"
"Yes, yes, it must be their fault. What do they know? A bunch of frogs in a well. We shouldn't be angry." Although they didn't understand the truth of the matter, they just went along with it.
"But it was you, Grandpa, who said I'm mentally ill!"
ah!
Tieguai Li blinked.
"Grandpa, what happened?!"
Tieguai Li immediately snapped out of his daze: "They must be jealous of you!"
"real?"
"Really! After all, you're so different from everyone else, and they're just ordinary people. It's normal for them to be jealous of you!"
After thinking about it carefully, Li Zhen realized that it seemed to be true, and he accepted his grandfather's statement.
See? He really is still the best.
