Su Qingyue entered the room, carrying out the big foot basin and poured out the bathwater.
She said, “Go to bed early.”
Then she closed the door of the master bedroom.
After finishing these tasks, she went to wash in the river at the south of Wushan Village.
The nights were not cold in summer, so she wasn’t afraid of the cold river water.
In ancient times, there were no hair dryers, and it was not easy for hair to dry at night.
So, while bathing in the river, she wound her hair in a circle on top of her head and tied it up with a cloth strip to keep it from getting wet.After taking a bath, she put on the bellyband and underpants that her second brother had bought and the new clothes she had bought at Lady Li’s shop.
At night, Li Gui walked to the crossroad by the river in the south of the village and saw a young girl dressed in lake green clothes standing by the river.
The night sky was filled with shining stars, the bright moonlight covered the earth in a silvery-white layer, and the crops in the fields swayed with the wind, making a rustling sound.
On the river bank, her graceful figure was remarkably delicate, arousing sympathy from others.
Bathed in moonlight, she looked like a spirit who had stolen away to the mortal world for fun.
Li Gui stopped, staring at her back, lost in thought.
Her clothes didn’t look like those of a poor village girl.
And he hadn’t seen anyone in the village wearing such clothes.
Could it be someone from another village visiting Wushan Village?
With that thought, he walked up to her, put his hand gently on her shoulder, and tried not to scare her, “Girl…” He thought that with such a beautiful back, she must be a beautiful woman when she turned around.
But…
“Hee… hee…” From her throat came a strange, rough panting sound, and when she turned around, she had no face, only long black hair like a waterfall on both front and back, and the hair was filled with a weird, shimmering green light.
“Ghost!” Li Gui screamed in horror, his face turning pale, and took off running.
Su Qingyue watched him running away like his ass was on fire, parted the long hair covering her face, and spat on the ground, “In normal days, he pretends to be such a good person, and he is the most desirable son-in-law in the village, but he only has this level of courage.”
Before that, she had caught some fireflies to play with, and from afar, she saw Li Gui coming. She didn’t like dealing with him and didn’t want to waste time talking to him in the quiet of the night, so she decided to scare him.
She deliberately draped half of her hair over her face, hid the glowing fireflies in the strands, and made strange noises by holding her breath and altering the sound in her mouth.
Li Gui, the useless one, was easily scared away.
Su Qingyue called out, “Little Bastard!”
Little Bastard emerged from a cornfield in the distance.
It had waited for a while when its owner was bathing in the river, then ran to the field to play. Hearing the call, it quickly crawled out of the field, wagging its tail beside its owner.
Qingyue understood it, “You’ve been locked up in the house for several days, and now you’re running wild.”
“Woof… woof…” It made a pleasing whimper from its little mouth.
Su Qingyue headed back, as Little Bastard shook his dog hair and followed his owner home with a wagging tail.
Qingyue went back home and entered the secondary bedroom.
Although she hadn’t done much in the afternoon, the fatigue of making money and supporting the family for the past few days finally caught up with her. As soon as she rested her head on the pillow, she fell into a drowsy sleep.
Little Bastard lay in the corner “doghouse” of the secondary bedroom, and it suddenly opened its deep brown wolf eyes while it was originally napping.
In the dead of night, silence prevailed.
A faint, barely audible sound was heard.
With a creak, the secondary bedroom’s door was slowly opened by a small crack.
Little Bastard watched the crack in the door attentively as it kept growing bigger.
