Chapter 5308: The Dyed One
I saw... that old man...
"Then you saw that old man just now?"
The man felt a sudden, almost terrifying shock.
He looked at the old woman.
The old woman was startled by the man's strong reaction.
W-what's wrong?
"Didn't you say you saw a familiar figure just now?"
And wasn't that how the story about the old man had come up?
"Didn't she say she was mistaken?"
The old man shook his head.
This old woman had such a terrible memory.
"I know."
The old woman rolled her eyes at him.
"I mean, the kid thought she saw that old man just now..."
"That's why she rushed out into the rain so excitedly."
Just look at how soaked she is!
And, although she hadn't seen it herself, the old man had just told her that the kid had even leaned over the lakeside while looking for that old man...
Wow.
Honestly, she was surprised the kid had gone to such lengths to find that old man.
Was it really necessary?
"You..."
Old Grandmother guessed, "Are you still upset that you never got to give him the peaches back then?"
That was the only plausible explanation Old Grandmother could think of.
After a brief daze...
The man smiled wryly.
"Grandma, you've stumped me."
"I don't know, either."
"Maybe."
"At the time, I thought I saw him for a moment..."
"I didn't have time to think."
"I rushed right out."
"Oh, I see."
The old woman nodded.
"I understand."
"You couldn't find someone for all those years, and then suddenly you saw him today..."
"Of course you'd be excited."
"But..."
The old woman sounded amazed. "After all these years, you still recognized him right away..."
That was incredible.
