CHAPTER XXVII
Along the way, Mo Ling was silent, because he didn't know which way to go, so it was not so much to help the old lady back to the room, but to be taken for a walk by the old lady. I don't know how long I walked, and finally sent the old lady to the front of the room, and when I left, I was stopped by the old lady: "What you just said is true?"
"The slave did not dare to deceive the old lady. β
"Raise your head and speak," the old lady's voice was much softer than just now, "Don't say 'slave slave slave', our family doesn't have these rotten rules." I'm old now, and my body and bones are no longer good, and I can't control her anymore if I don't listen to what she says. You usually stay by her side and tell her more interesting things outside. I know that she is bored at home, but the woman of the Hua family was born with this kind of life, and one day she will understand my hard work. After talking too much, my head is starting to hurt again, you go back and serve Ran'er to rest early. β
After saying these words, the old lady pushed the door into the room, and Mo Ling gave a salute and quietly withdrew.
When he returned to the courtyard just now, he found that Hua Ruoran was still sitting in place, and Mo Ling rushed forward, "Why are you still here?"
Hua Ruoran came back to her senses, glanced at Mo Ling, and asked, "Why are you still here?"
"Didn't I just help your mother back to the room, you're not happy that I'm here, I'll leave. Moling said as she straightened her hair.
The clear moonlight shone quietly in the courtyard, shining on Mo Ling's somewhat blurred cheeks, Hua Ruoran looked at Mo Ling's appearance, and was a little distracted for a while.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Moling, noticing that Hua Ruoran was staring at herself.
"Nothing. Hua Ruoran turned her head and muttered, "I didn't say I was unhappy." β
"It's getting late, go back to your room and rest, it's time for me to go home." After arranging her hair, Mo Ling stretched out her hand to Hua Ruoran, who was sitting on the ground, Hua Ruoran glanced at it, but hesitated and did not take it.
"Are you still thinking about what just happened?" asked Mo Ling as she squatted down and leaned closer.
Seeing Mo Ling leaning over, Hua Ruoran unconsciously retreated, clasped her knees with her hands, and buried her head in it. After a long while, he asked, "You...... You're a man, aren't you? β
"Doesn't it look like it?"
"It's like, but it's ...... sound How did you come up with that voice?"
"I used to see a book that taught people to make various sounds, and I thought it was interesting, so I followed it, but I didn't expect to use it here. Mo Ling said with a smile.
"What a weirdo. "Weird, I think it's funny. "Is the book still there?" "Hmm...... I don't know where I left it, do you want to read it?" "I didn't say I wanted to read it, this kind of strange book, what's so good about it......"
Mo Ling didn't answer, just grinned, Hua Ruoran didn't dare to look at Mo Ling, and didn't want to be seen by Mo Ling, so she had to bury her head deeper, and the ears on her arms were all heard by the sound of "tom tom" jumping faster and faster.
After a while, feeling that Mo Ling stood up, Hua Ruoran raised her head, and then heard Mo Ling say, "I'll go first, you should get up quickly." β
Hua Ruoran didn't know how to keep the magic feather, so she blurted out, "...... you Will you still come. β
"Do you mean here, or the back mountain?"
"It's okay to have both, preferably here...... My mother is getting tighter and tighter, and I rarely get to the back mountain. β
"......" Mo Ling was silent for a while, and then said: "As an outsider, I may be a little talkative, but I think you and your mother should have a good talk, instead of being noisy like this." β
"I want you to take care of it. Hua Ruoran muttered, "It's not what I want to argue about." β
β...... I can't say anything, after all, I'm an outsider, but your mother may not be what you think......"
Hearing that Mo Ling was an "outsider", Hua Ruoran felt itchy in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "Since it's an outsider, then you don't care!"
Hua Ruoran's voice was very crisp, and it echoed in the courtyard for a long time. Hua Ruoran covered her mouth after speaking, as if she didn't even expect to speak so loudly. I wanted to explain something quickly, but I couldn't open my mouth.
Mo Ling scratched her head in embarrassment and smiled reluctantly, "Haha...... Look at it, it's really me talking too much, don't take it to heart, just when I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything, haha......"
After laughing, there was silence between the two for a while, as if they didn't know what to say, the dull air tickled Mo Ling's heart, and she couldn't help it, so she said: "Today's daytime is my fault, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have stayed so late to go home...... If you know that you should be careful when walking, otherwise you will not accidentally break into the mountain behind your house. I just broke in pretending to be a girl without permission, and I was thinking if I could help anything...... I didn't mean anything else when I said thatβhey, I just said that I wanted to say nothing at all, look at my memory, haha......"
Hua Ruoran listened to Mo Ling's explanation, only to feel that her heart was getting colder and colder, knowing that something was wrong, and the matter was not what Mo Ling said, but she was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, it would only make each other more embarrassed.
"But about Pei Shan grass, I have read in books before, it can be used as a substitute for sand scorpion shells, as a blind adjuvant to treat head wind, you take the trouble to remember it, otherwise your mother will ask, and the matter should be revealed. Seeing Hua Ruoran lowering her head and not speaking, Mo Ling felt a little uncomfortable, "That's all I have to say, so I won't bother, there will be a period later." β
After speaking, Mo Ling took one last look at Hua Ruoran, jumped forward, and quietly left the courtyard.
At this time, Hua Ruoran, who had just come back to her senses, raised her head suddenly, but she couldn't find the figure of Mo Ling, and when she looked around, all that was left in the lonely courtyard was a faint moonlight and an empty heart.
