Chapter 513 Babbling
When closing the door, Teacher Cheng gave Qian Ding and Wan instructions to Bai Youwei and Shen Mo to be careful, and also sent out charged rabbits, just in case.
Teacher Cheng also wanted to give away the severed hand, but Bai Youwei was unwilling.
Because that hand was so noisy, it was like ADHD. Every day it would pick here and scratch there, making the whole room squeak, and the storage room had to be closed to stop it.
Bai Youwei didn't want to be disturbed by it at night.
…
After putting on clean bedding, they could finally lie down and have a good rest. If they ignored the drizzle outside the window and the flickering candlelight inside, the accommodation arranged by the old scholar was pretty good.
Occasionally, voices could be heard from next door, mostly Fu Miaoxue chattering, with Du Lai answering from time to time.
Bai Youwei lay on the bed and soon became sleepy.
"...about what time is it now?" She turned over and forced herself to ask Shen Mo.
Shen Mo lay next to her and raised his hand to look at his watch. The hour hand stopped at the moment when the game was entered, which was 10:13.
"It should be around 12 o'clock." Shen Mo estimated the time.
Bai Youwei thought to herself that it was almost 12 o'clock, so it should be normal for her to feel sleepy...
"Fu Miaoxue is a doll now. I wonder if she will be sleepy." Bai Youwei murmured with her eyes closed.
Shen Mo smiled and said, "You can ask her tomorrow."
"I won't ask." Bai Youwei moved into his arms and snorted, "She has such a bad temper."
Shen Mo smiled at the corners of his mouth and said nothing, but thought in his heart: When I first met you, you were not much different from her, and you also exploded at the drop of a hat.
After a moment of silence, I heard Bai Youwei whisper in his arms: "But...if I find myself turned into a doll, I will probably go crazy..."
Shen Mo touched her head and whispered: "Go to sleep."
His voice was low and rustling, as if it had hypnotic magic, and then Bai Youwei really fell asleep...
…
When I slept until midnight, I vaguely heard someone singing an opera.
She couldn't understand the babble, she just felt it was noisy, so she tossed and turned on the bed.
But the voice became louder and louder, like weeping and complaining, full of resentment... Every word hit her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable, suffocated, depressed, and unable to breathe.
Bai Youwei finally couldn't bear it anymore and opened her eyes.
The room was dim, the shadows of the trees were swaying on the window, and Shen Mo was lying quietly beside her.
Bai Youwei frowned, feeling something was wrong.
Shen Mo was always the most alert, why did he sleep so deeply tonight? The singing and opera outside was so loud, couldn't he hear it?
Thinking of this, Bai Youwei was a little scared...
She is not omniscient and omnipotent. Facing such a gloomy and terrifying environment, she will inevitably feel frightened in her heart, especially when the man who has been protecting her sleeps soundlessly, which makes her extremely uneasy!
"Shen Mo, Shen Mo..." She pushed his arm gently.
Shen Mo woke up quickly.
He opened his eyes, looked at Bai Youwei suspiciously, and asked, "Why don't you sleep?"
Bai Youwei said: "There is a sound outside."
"Is there a sound?" Shen Mo looked confused. He listened carefully for a moment, but could only hear the sound of drizzle.
He asked Bai Youwei: "What kind of sound is it?"
Bai Youwei was stunned and blurted out: "Can't you hear such a loud singing voice?"
Shen Mo really couldn't hear. He thought about it, got out of bed, walked to the door, and opened the door——
The sound of raindrops became clearer and clearer, and the melodious singing voice also entered the house intermittently.
"There is indeed a sound, but..." Shen Mo glanced at Bai Youwei and said, "At least in my ears, the sound is not loud, and it is far away, over there in the village."
