"Those things the child said just now..."
The old man rubbed his forehead. "The child's experiences..."
For someone getting on in years, recalling the past could be rather draining.
"From the very beginning, I thought it sounded familiar."
"But I couldn't figure out why."
"I racked my brains."
"Then it suddenly came back to me."
"I remembered Xiao Bai."
"I remembered that Xiao Bai had also said things very similar to what Lei Lei said."
"They both saw a tiger."
"But they were the only ones who saw it."
"Back then, we didn't see the tiger Xiao Bai pointed out."
"And now, you didn't see the tiger in front of Lei Lei."
"It's so similar..."
The old man's expression was complicated. He felt something he couldn't quite put into words.
"One person's experience doesn't prove anything."
"But two people..."
"I was thinking, perhaps..."
The old man looked at the old woman. "Neither of them was lying."
"Xiao Bai wasn't lying."
"Lei Lei wasn't lying."
"They saw a tiger."
"But it wasn't an ordinary tiger."
"Not an ordinary tiger?"
The old woman murmured.
"Mm."
The old man nodded. "I think it was a tiger that only a small number of people could see."
"Fortunately, they were among that small number."
"So they saw it."
"But we weren't among them."
"So none of us saw it."
"..."
The old woman parted her lips.
She had a lot of questions.
And plenty of things she wanted to ask.
But when the words reached her lips, she didn't know what to ask first.
She took a deep breath.
Her mind was in a bit of a muddle.
No.
It was a complete muddle.
The old woman frowned and pressed her temples.
She needed to sort things out.
And take a moment to process them.
