Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer
Chapter 8 The Night is Cool as Water
Ranmo spent the afternoon helping his mother work in the vegetable patch behind the house. She had cultivated several plots of land. The fields were filled with lush green bok choy, green onions, peppers, beets, tomatoes, and other vegetables he couldn't name. The scene was vibrant and full of life. A small canal meandered through the fields, nourishing all this green life.
In her previous life, Ranmo lived in a desert and arid region. Her greatest wish was to have a tree, a bunch of flowers, or a vegetable patch in her yard. Unfortunately, under such natural conditions, even these hopes became extravagant.
Back then, she often relieved herself in the loose soil of the yard, then shoveled out the soil and feces with a shovel. Now that she has a vegetable garden, she can occasionally defecate in the ground, which is convenient and can also be used as fertilizer.
Of course, you can't just pull the cucumbers covered in fat and mud out of the ground, shake them clean, and eat them, as someone said in a crosstalk.
However, from that day on, she decided to break this bad habit. It wasn't a good thing to constantly poop in the fields. It just so happened that she'd been drinking more water these past couple of days, so she'd made a few extra trips to the restroom. Each time, she'd spend quite a while, feeling like something was unfinished and empty inside.
In the evening, she planned to go to the toilet again before going to bed.
As she approached, she spotted a shadowy figure squatting in front of the toilet. She felt a little nervous, remembering the guy named Ma who had intercepted her last time. So she slowed down her pace.
At this moment, the shadow over there looked up and saw her, and shouted in surprise, "Ran Mo, it's me!"
Ran Mo heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, thinking, "You're just sitting there waiting for something to happen." He then went up to him and asked, "Why are you here?"
Qingsheng replied cheerfully, "I came here to use the restroom, thinking I might run into you."
"Have you finished solving it?" "Not yet. Let's do it together."
Ran Mo wanted to refuse, but after a moment's hesitation, she realized it was already dark, and with her clothes covering her, she couldn't see anything. Her disguise skills were quite good in this area. So she went in with him without hesitation.
Qingsheng walked over to the long pool, unzipped his pants, and peed. Apparently, he couldn't hold it in any longer; it took him quite a while to pee.
Ran Mo took the opportunity to run to the squatting pit in the corner of the toilet, quickly untied his belt, squatted down and urinated as quickly as a machine gun, then quickly stood up and tidied his clothes.
Qingsheng turned his head and looked at her strangely, saying, "Aren't you going to pee? Why are you squatting to pee?"
Ran Mo thought, Oh no, I forgot about this. He quickly explained, "I wanted to relieve myself, but I don't feel like it anymore. Let's go out."
Qingsheng responded, and the two of them walked out of the toilet one after the other.
The night was as cold as water. The two walked silently towards the open space they had been to.
"Where do you live?" Qingsheng asked, breaking the silence. It sounded like he might want to meet somewhere else in the future.
"It's just around the crooked tree in front. Do you want to go sit down?" As he spoke, Ran Mo's expression became sad again.
In her previous life, she was too withdrawn and her family was poor, so she was too embarrassed to invite her classmates home to play, which reduced her opportunities to make friends. Now she should learn to be more generous and polite.
"Oh, let's do it another day. It's getting late today. Let's sit here and talk for a while." He found a raised earthen ridge and sat down. He patted the side and motioned Ran Mo to sit down as well.
Ran Mo sat down next to him. At that moment, perhaps due to psychological reasons, a boyish aura of youth rushed over her, making her feel a little dizzy.
"What's wrong? If you're sleepy, you can rest on my shoulder for a while." Qingsheng said caringly, patting his arm.
"That's good." Ran Mo sat up straight, her gaze fixed on the night. She remembered a song she used to hum when sitting alone at night called "Cool, Cool." "Cool, cool, cool, so cool, the cool breeze blows so cool..." The melody was beautiful yet dynamic.
Whenever its melody rings in my mind, it is as if I see a bright place in the night ahead, where several young people are playing guitar, singing, dancing, and drinking... What an enviable and happy life.
Now that she had someone by her side, she suddenly had a new feeling. Even if the world ahead was a glittering and colorful world, she did not envy or yearn for it.
Qingsheng looked at her silently. He seemed accustomed to the boy's tendency to be lost in thought. He was curious about what was going on in his little head.
He generously reached out and gently flicked Ran Mo's other earlobe, then started the conversation, "Have you lived here since you were a child?"
Ran Mo answered nonchalantly, "Yes." "I really like the pastoral life here. In the city, there are only restaurants, taverns, and large mansions. It's really boring with family members taking care of it." Qing Sheng said half-enviously and half-complainingly.
Ran Mo sighed inwardly. She actually quite liked the bustling and bustling city life. In her previous life, she was almost bored to death by that desolate little town. It seemed everyone's likes and dislikes were truly different.
"You'll get bored of any place if you stay there for too long." Ran Mo said something quite moderate and asked, "Do you come here often?"
Qingsheng paused for a moment and said, "Besides sightseeing, I came here to look for someone. To be more precise, I want to find out the whereabouts of someone."
"Really?" Ran Mo's heart moved. He wanted to ask again, but was afraid of being abrupt, so he said lightly: "If you need it, we can also help you."
"Oh, don't bother me for now. There's still no clue about this matter. Only an old man who knows the situation can provide some accurate information." After saying this, Qingsheng seemed to want to change the subject and said, "Tell me something interesting here."
Ran Mo became interested when he heard this and blurted out, "Do you like listening to ghost stories?"
In Ranmo's previous life, there was not much entertainment in the small town. People often liked to tell ghost stories to scare children, making them unable to sleep at night and afraid to go out.
Just like "In this situation and this scene, I want to recite a poem", facing this night, Ran Mo also wants to tell a ghost story to suit the scene.
Qingsheng laughed when he heard it, "Oh, is it something about ghosts and gods? I don't hear about it often."
That's good. "Then let me tell you one." Ran Mo said without hesitation, and began to talk quietly:
"Have you ever been outside this town at night? A few hundred meters from the town entrance, there's a lonely little hut. In the past, it was a place for people to take shelter from the rain. Later, it was gradually abandoned by the wind and rain, and few people went there anymore.
One day, an orphan girl who had fled famine from another place came here. She couldn't find a place to stay. Seeing that it was getting late, she had no choice but to take shelter in the abandoned house for the night.
That night, thunder and lightning struck, and heavy rain poured down. The girl was cold and hungry, so she huddled in the corner of the hut, hugging her knees, trembling with fear and shock.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck, illuminating the entire hut. The girl suddenly saw several strands of long black hair slowly crawling in from the window lattice, then crawling down the wall like several black snakes, slowly approaching her...
Ran Mo felt the guy beside her tremble slightly. She smiled inwardly and continued:
The girl nearly fainted from fear. She closed her eyes and prayed to the heavens for protection. Strands of black hair lifted from the ground and climbed up along her toes and body, as if countless hands were caressing her. The silky smoothness was accompanied by a tingling sensation. She clenched her teeth and remained motionless, not daring to breathe.
Soon, the black hair enveloped her entire body, forming a cocoon-like shape, leaving only two holes, like two black eyes. The atmosphere inside and outside the house was extremely eerie.
Ran Mo glanced at the person next to her from the corner of her eye. His face was solemn, his breathing was slightly short, and he leaned towards her. He seemed frightened, but he didn't ask her to stop.
Ran Mo felt pity. Although he was a grown-up boy, he was, after all, the young master of a wealthy family. He probably rarely heard of or saw such strange things, so it was inevitable that he would be a little frightened when he was suddenly exposed to them.
But the story must be finished. She lowered her voice and continued:
"At this moment, a strand of black hair silently wrapped around her neck. If she had used a little more force, she would have suffocated. Fortunately, it stopped after wrapping around twice. The entire black braid did not move any further.
The girl was terrified, but she felt her whole body warm up. The black hair wrapped around her was like a thick cocoon, blocking the cold air and raindrops from outside. The circle of black hair around her neck was like a scarf, protecting the part of her body that was most afraid of the cold.
The story seemed to be taking a turn for the better. Ran Mo thought he might relax a little now. But then she felt something crawling up her neck. She shuddered and glanced sideways. It was the boy with his arm around her neck. His body was trembling slightly.
