Four in the same order

"Wake you up?"

After hearing Xuedai's question, Ranheng didn't answer directly. She gently moved Xuedai's hand holding her arm, walked to the bamboo and wood washstand with a green dragon carved on it, unscrewed the water pipe and took a basin of clean water , and took a clean facekerchief embroidered with orchids from the towel rack, soaked it and brought it back to the couch: "Although you should be more used to night activities in Taiyi, if you are tired from reading, you should take a proper rest." , go to sleep after washing up."

"What about you?" Xue Dai leaned on the couch, took the handkerchief to wipe her face, but kept her eyes fixed on Ran Heng, as if Ran Heng would disappear in the blink of an eye.

"I'm going to Meishengxiang, and I'll change rooms tomorrow night." A bamboo wooden cup filled with salt water and a toothbrush stained with tooth powder flew from the washstand towards Xuedai. They will be replaced with new ones, so you can use them with confidence.”

"Aren't you going to sleep with me?" Xuedai didn't care about the hygiene of the toiletries. In the morning, Ran Heng taught her how to wash. Although she picked things up quickly, she still couldn't understand why Ran Heng didn't sleep with her. Sleeping on the same couch.

"No." Ranheng didn't want to say much, just lifted the extra bamboo washbasin in her hand, and urged Xuedai to spit out the salty water in her mouth.

"Why? Don't we just sleep together in the morning?" Xuedai asked with her head tilted after spitting out the salt water.

"That's because you transformed next to me." Ran Heng didn't want to admit the fact that Xue Dai transformed on her body.

"Doesn't this just mean that God wants us to sleep together?" Xue Dai thought of the word "Day of Heaven" she had just learned from a book, and drew inferences from one instance.

"...Unreasonable." Ran Heng was concentrating on manipulating the washing utensils to return to their original positions, but was stunned after hearing Xue Dai's words, and almost made a mistake that caused the cup and basin behind him to tip over.

"Why is what I said so fallacious? Didn't you also say that it is God's will that we become best friends?" Xue Dai brought out the theory of friendship that Ranheng taught her in the morning to argue for herself.

"..." Ran Heng was powerless to refute, turned his head to confirm that the eye equipment was placed correctly, and then solemnly said, "We can't sleep together, understand? If you only look at the appearance, you and I are both women, but my inside is the same as yours." There is a difference. Not only do you have to keep a distance from me, but you should also keep a distance from all women with similar eyes and hair to mine, because we are not as harmless as we appear on the surface."

It is a well-known truth that people with different bodies and bodies should be cautious about dealing with each other, but Ran Heng had to explain it specifically for Xue Dai, because she found that Xue Dai never realized that they should not be so close, even though she never As far as their current bond is concerned, they should have been so close.

...different inside?

Xue Dai looked Ranheng up and down, then looked around herself with downcast eyes, then stretched out her left hand, pointing heartlessly: "...yours is bigger than mine."

"..." Ranheng looked down along Xuedai's fingertips, and saw two undulating peaks growing on her body.

"... You are not allowed to say such things in the future."

There was a feeling of being molested, and Ranheng wanted to leave after warning.

"—Don't go! I won't say anything!"

Seeing that Ran Heng was about to leave, Xue Dai rushed forward impatiently, but accidentally tripped over the quilt and fell to the edge of the bed - no one caught her, but there was a long cloth belt in her hand.

Seeing that the tunic dress she was wearing had turned into a straight gown, Ranheng retreated to the side of the couch, stretched out her hand and murmured: "...give it back to me."

Xuedai was very aggrieved, grabbed Ranheng's outstretched hand, and got up: "...you don't even care if I hurt or not!"

Ran Heng was indifferent: "If you can get up by yourself, it means it's not serious. Return the belt to me." She was very tired and just wanted to rest quickly.

"I won't pay it back!" Being rejected and neglected many times, Xuedai couldn't help playing with her temper, "I won't let you go either!"

After finishing speaking, he shook the hand tightly holding Ranheng twice provocatively.

"Stop making trouble," Ranheng said with a slumped look, "If I try to break free, you won't be able to hold me with both hands."

"Then you earned it, you didn't move at all!"

Any movement will hurt you... Feeling exhausted, Ranheng sat down next to Xuedai, rubbed his forehead and sighed: "...wouldn't it be better to sleep alone in a big bed?"

"No, it's too late." Hearing the compromise in Ran Heng's words, Xue Dai's attitude softened, "It's still cold to sleep alone." Her hands and feet are cold, and she prefers to lean on the warm Ran Heng .

"Isn't the stove on?" Ran Heng glanced at the enamel stove with a thin metal pipe connected to the window, "The stove directly connected to the salary camp, the fire will not automatically go out, you want to leave it on all day long No problem."

Xuedai shook her head: "It's cold too." She couldn't sleep with the stove in her arms.

If it's cold, just build more beds, Ran Heng really wanted to say this, but he knew it was useless to say it, and it was a waste of time instead.

"...Okay, let me go first." After a while, Ranheng gently pulled his hand away.

"I don't!" After hearing this, Xuedai grabbed her tighter and asked angrily, "Why do you always want to leave? Do you not want to stay with me?"

"...How can I wash if I don't let you go?" Ran Heng turned his head and asked back, his eyes were full of helplessness.

"Are you willing to stay?!" Xuedai's emotions came and went quickly, and she immediately let go when she heard this, and threw herself excitedly to the left.

But at this moment, Ran Heng stood up numbly, and walked quickly to the washstand: "I will sleep on the left side, and you will sleep on the right side, each with its own cover... Also, don't rush over here from now on."

"Oh..." Xuedai pouted again, and although she answered, her eyes rolled straight.

Ran Heng would dream every day, from the day she turned into Ran Heng, there was no exception.

The dream was blurred when she was young, but it became clear when she grew up. The content of the dream was good or bad, some of which she could recall after waking up, and some of which she had no memory of after waking up.

For more than 500 days and nights, it is inevitable that some dreams are repeated, and in a dream that has been repeated thousands of times, she always exists in the form of a grass—that is her original form.

She doesn't know which mountain and field she once took root in. In her impression, her world has only a slanted slit that can shine in the dim light. If the slit does not shine, there is only darkness.

Except for a handful of loess and a few stones, there was nothing around her. Even if there was, she, who was not spiritual at the time, couldn't feel anything.

A grass without intelligence doesn't know what it means to bloom in full bloom and what it means to wither. All she can do is wait for the occasional mercy from the heavens to inject a few more inches of sunshine and a few more drops of rain and dew for her.

But if she had spiritual wisdom at that time, she would definitely hate the injustice of the heavens.

The same grass, some have fertile soil and grow vigorously, some absorb the essence and are regarded as auspicious, but she lacks light and rain, struggling to live every moment alone—and no matter how she struggles, she is doomed die before them.

Animals and plants are not human beings, and they do not learn morality.If at that time there appeared another person of the same kind who had the same ideas as hers and invited her to go against the sky and join forces to take revenge on God, she would definitely agree to it without hesitation.

As much as she longed for life, she feared death as much.It doesn't matter whether or not the trouble is messed up, as long as she has nothing to do, even if her vitality is dead and should have dissipated long ago, she will degenerate into a corpse, surviving by mutilating the common people.

"It's a good thing I wasn't spiritual at the time..." She would sigh like this every time she woke up from such a dream.

If not, she might become the second ghost corpse plant in the history of the Four Kingdoms to bring disaster to the country and the people...

"Ranheng...Ranheng...why are you crying? Wake up—"

Dazzling light suddenly shone into the dim world, Ranheng tried to lift his heavy eyelids, and saw a fair face full of worry.

"Nothing... just a nightmare."

Before Ran Heng recovered from the dream, she lay flat and covered her eyes and stopped talking, and didn't even question why Xue Dai slept in her arms.

"What did you dream about?"

Contrary to Ran Heng, Xue Dai sneaked into Ran Heng's bed last night while Ran Heng was asleep, and she slept peacefully until morning without any dreams. For several hours.

"...I dreamed that I turned into a grass."

Ran Heng was silent for a long time before replying in a muffled voice.

"What's so scary about turning into grass? Because you can't eat?"

Xuedai propped herself up and looked curiously at Ranheng who was lying motionless.

"...Who said you can't eat, I eat people, cannibals."

"...eat...cannibalize people?" Xuedai imagined the picture, and unconsciously tightened her quilt, "you, you, you... who did you eat?"

"I ate a girl who was about your age... The girl cried when she knew she was going to be eaten by me, but I swallowed her mercilessly. The more bloody her flesh was, the more I chewed it. Happy, in the end she has nothing left but a puddle of blood."

"Okay... so scary..."

Xuedai moved back while listening, and quietly distanced herself from Ranheng.

"—Knowing the horror, don't hurry to get out of the way, maybe one day I will eat you up."

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Ranheng didn't bother to put on any more, she turned over and lay down on the bed after throwing off the quilt, thinking in her heart: I knew she wasn't so obedient, luckily I put on my underwear before going to bed.

"You...where are you going?" Xuedai has been running around with Ranheng since the first day of her transformation, and has subconsciously regarded Ranheng's itinerary as something related to herself.

"I want to go to court," Ranheng took the official uniform from the hanger, and then walked out, "you go to sleep, if you want something or where you want to go, ring the wooden bell by the door and tell the people outside the bamboo forest." Attendant, as long as there is no outrageous request, they will satisfy you."

"understood…"

"I'm leaving."

"Ah."

Seeing Xuedai nodding her head, Ran Heng immediately closed the door of Lan Qizhu's room, and went to Mei Shuangxiang to wash and change clothes, but Xue Dai, who was left alone in Lan Qizhu, did not lie down to catch up on sleep immediately, but instead picked up the book "Taiwan" on the kang table beside her. Flipping through Su Qi Zhen Ji, I muttered to myself while reading: "Is there really a grass that eats people?"
