Chapter 4 Your taste, your fine taste

The person standing outside the window was Chen Jin's neighbor, an old man who was about 60 years old, had a dead wife and his daughter married.

The old man's surname is Zhang. On weekdays, he serves Chen Jin quite well.

In Chen Jin's memory, Old Man Zhang sometimes gave him a piece of meat during festivals, and he was the only person in the town who would give him a piece of meat.

"Don't you know what happened to this tragically dead dog outside your house?"

Old Man Zhang, who was standing outside the window, looked at Chen Jin and asked.

Chen Jin originally planned to shake his head and respond casually to such a question, but when he thought of what he saw last night, if he could see through the old man's mouth, it would be very likely that the people in the town would believe what he said.

"I know, but I'm going to say it out loud. Dad Zhang, you probably won't believe it. After all, in your eyes, my mind..."

After careful consideration, Chen Jin responded to the words that had not finished. Then, he withdrew his gaze from looking at the old man, picked up the broken clay pot on the wooden table and drank water.

After hearing this unfinished response and seeing Chen Jin's actions, Old Man Zhang was quite surprised, because although he had not finished speaking, the meaning of his words was already very obvious.

After all, he and Chen Jin are neighbors, and they can be regarded as seeing him growing up. In the impression of the old man, Chen Jin's little boy had a problem with his mind.

Moreover, since his parents passed away, the little guy has never said a word to him.

However, his response just now was extremely organized, not like a crazy person's mouth, and the tone of his speech was old-fashioned, not like what a ten-year-old child could say.

While Chen Jin was drinking water, he glanced at the old man standing outside the window with his light. Seeing the other party looking at him in surprise, he immediately coughed up as if he was choking by the water. At the same time, he put down the clay pot in his hand, walked to the window, and prepared to close the window.

From the appearance of Old Man Zhang just now to the fact that he is preparing to close the window, Chen Jin has done a lot of play after this.

He first spoke up to give the old man an answer with him hanging on him. At the same time, his words also told the old man from the side that he was not a little lunatic.

Next, he drank the water calmly again, and then stood up and prepared to close the window while pretending to be indifferent. He did not intend to respond to the old man's question, which completely aroused the other party's appetite.

After performing this kind of thing, even if the other party just asked casually at the beginning, he would be curious at this time.

Of course, Chen Jin was not sure about the scene he was acting, so that the old man Zhang was caught.

After all, the incident happened in a hurry, and this series of performances was just the result of his inspiration. If the old man was not curious, then his performance would be in vain.

Although Chen Jin pretended to be calm on the surface, he hoped that the old man would continue to ask questions.

Therefore, he took a very slow step from the distance from the wooden table to the window.

With Old Man Zhang's surprised gaze, in the end, when Chen Jin walked to the window, the other party did not ask, but in the other party's eyes, he knew that the scene he had just acted should not be in vain.

He was doing the whole show. Seeing this, Chen Jin directly reached out to close the window, but he was waiting for Old Man Zhang to speak in his heart.

"Poor kid, I never think you are crazy. As for the opinions of others, it is because they don't understand you."

Old Man Zhang comforted Chen Jin, then his face wrinkled and asked with a smile: "Dad believes you, tell me exactly how the dog outside the house died tragically."

When Chen Jin heard Old Man Zhang's words, he felt relieved, but there was no sign of his face.

On the contrary, he pretended to be thinking and glanced at the old man, and finally nodded, walked out of the room, and opened his door.

After opening the door, he welcomed the old man into the house, greeted the other party and sat on a wooden bench, and started talking.

"When I woke up in the middle of the night yesterday, I suddenly heard the barking of dogs outside the house. I originally thought there was a thief, so I quietly walked to the window and took a look, but found..."

He said it over the things he saw last night. After he finished speaking, he looked at Old Man Zhang again. Seeing that there was some confusion in both sides' eyes, he immediately continued to explain.

"I know it is indeed a bit incredible to say this. If you don't believe it, just take it as a warning to me." After looking at the old man with a puzzled face, Chen Jin stopped talking and sat aside.

When the two were silent, he breathed a sigh of relief, because judging from the old man's puzzled face, although the other party did not believe everything he said, he was at least three or four points. If it weren't for this, the other party would naturally not have been confused.

"You didn't lie to me, are you? Dad, I have always treated you well. You can't make up these weird things to deceive me."

"Dad, if you think what I said was made up, then you should just listen to a story, and I won't say anything more."

After a conversation, Chen Jin did not want to explain anything. Instead, the doubt on Old Man Zhang's face disappeared a little.

Seeing this, Chen Jin said: "Dad Zhang, our town is in a corner, and there are not many passers-by all year round, let alone passers-by in the middle of the night, so the tragic death of the dog cannot be the work of the passers-by.

And in my memory, there shouldn’t be such a strange thing in the town? You taste it, you taste it carefully.”

...

After a few breaths of silence in the room, the confusion on Old Man Zhang's face suddenly became a little deeper, because in his perception, Chen Jin had never been to school and had some mental problems.

But it is not the case now. This crazy child not only speaks well, but also speaks with all his words.

Although he showed doubts on his face, at this moment, Old Man Zhang believed what Chen Jin said.

A strange thing like this happened in the town at the end, and yesterday the mayor Lu Shandian suddenly died near the town. Later, the people in the town carried back a coffin and put it in the ancestral hall.

Combined with this series of things, Old Man Zhang believed Chen Jin's words. Although he believed it, the old man still asked out the doubts in his heart.

Chen Jin also responded to Old Man Zhang’s problem one by one. When he was about to come, he said meaningfully: “In my opinion, this tragic death dog outside my house should have been harmed by a few passing fierce spirits. It will be fine tomorrow.”

"It's probably not as simple as your kid thinks." After leaving this sentence, Old Man Zhang left with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the old man's back, Chen Jin sighed lightly.
