Chapter 28 I am her husband
I don’t know if Lu Mingchuan is afraid of ghosts. She has a lot of horror, suspense, ghost stories in her mind.
There must be something he is afraid of!
Thinking of how Lu Mingchuan, such a big guy, was trembling with fear because of her, Su Heng's eyes were full of eagerness to try.
Lu Mingchuan raised his head from the book and saw a malicious light in Su Heng's lively eyes.
It is said that beauty is best seen under the lamp. Such a dim kerosene lamp casts a layer of warm light on the beauty's jade-like face.
Su Heng had washed her hair in the evening and was letting it fall behind her shoulders. A sweet fragrance came to her, and the scenery in front of her immediately became vivid.
His protruding Adam's apple rolled over as he said, "Okay, then what's the reward for winning?"
"Reward?" Su Heng thought for a moment and said, "The loser washes the winner's clothes for a month. How about that?"
What kind of reward is this? Forget it.
Lu Mingchuan: "Okay, who's going to speak first?"
Su Heng: "Of course ladies first, I'll go first."
Lu Mingchuan had no objection, so Su Heng carefully selected the story in her mind and told a classic story of a terrifying night in a female dormitory.
"Xiaojuan has been hearing babies crying in the middle of the night lately... Her roommate hasn't been home for a week..."
"That day she got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and when she flushed, the water was red, like the pipes were rusty..."
As Su Heng spoke, her tone became weak, but Lu Mingchuan looked calm and didn't show any sign of being scared, so she continued.
"Her roommate still didn't come back the following week. The crying in the middle of the night stopped, but she still felt like someone was scratching her bed..."
"The scratching sound on the bed woke Xiaojuan up that day. Even the bed was shaking, and she had to look down at the bottom of the bed."
Su Heng paused for a moment and suddenly felt a chill on her back, but Lu Mingchuan still looked unmoved.
Then he asked, “Are you listening?”
Lu Mingchuan met her eyes and said seriously, "I'm listening. And then, what's under the bed?"
Su Heng deliberately lowered her voice and asked in a sinister tone, "Guess what?"
"I guess she met a pair of eyes." Lu Mingchuan suddenly said coldly: "Her best friend is lying under the bed, right?"
Su Heng's eyes widened as she asked, "Why aren't you afraid at all?"
Lu Mingchuan: "Because I'm brave."
He didn't say that he had actually been to the front line and lay among piles of dead bodies, not to mention the enemies he shot with a sniper during missions. How could such a ghost story scare him?
"It's my turn."
"You tell me." Su Heng felt a little aggrieved. She didn't believe that Lu Mingchuan could tell any horror story.
Lu Mingchuan smiled, and Su Heng suddenly had a bad feeling.
He was telling the story of a veteran in the wilderness, and it started out like an ordinary story.
Su Heng became increasingly captivated by the story and pressed on, "And then what? He roasted the rabbit, and nothing happened?"
Lu Mingchuan shook his head, the expression on his face looking mysterious under the dim light.
"Nothing happened that night, but the next day, he saw the body of a woman in white hanging from a tree next to where the rabbit skins were buried."
"What? Then isn't that what he eats?"
"Um."
"Ahhh!" Su Heng got goose bumps all over her body, and her back felt cold. She felt that the wind outside the house had become strange.
"No more!"
Lu Mingchuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looking at Su Heng's jumping expression: "You lose."
Su Heng was about to argue when there was a sudden knock on the door.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Su Heng was startled and hurriedly hid towards Lu Mingchuan, pulling at his clothes and saying, "It's over. A ghost really knocked on the door while I was telling ghost stories in the middle of the night!"
Summer clothes are loose to begin with. Lu Mingchuan was wearing a white cotton short-sleeved shirt at night. When Su Heng pulled it nervously, the tight muscles on his lower back were exposed.
The warm breath hit Lu Mingchuan's body, and his waist and abdominal muscles tightened. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "There is no ghost. You come out first."
Su Heng didn't move, still squatting behind him at the corner of the table. "No, don't talk. Let's pretend no one is here. Maybe the knocking will stop soon."
Lu Mingchuan endured it for a moment and said helplessly, "So you don't want the food anymore, and you don't want to sell the herbs?"
Su Heng paused. Oh, right, what were they originally going to do?
The food delivery person is here!
Su Heng coughed lightly, stood up and opened the door to the main room, but the yard was pitch black. For some reason, the moon was also covered by dark clouds today.
She was a little timid, so she turned around and asked Lu Mingchuan to bring her a kerosene lamp so that they could open the door together.
Lu Mingchuan did as he was told. When they reached the gate, Su Heng asked cautiously, "Who is it?"
"Delivery."
Su Heng recognized it as Uncle Lin's voice, so she quickly opened the door, but unexpectedly Meng Xiao was also there.
Uncle Lin was holding a flashlight. Su Heng closed her eyes because of the sudden brightness, and the weak light of the kerosene lamp was instantly overshadowed.
Meng Xiao saw Su Heng's face clearly. He straightened up a little from leaning lazily against his bicycle, coughed lightly, and asked, "Who are you? We're here to look for Su Heng."
Su Heng was speechless: "That's me, come in."
Meng Xiao couldn't believe it. The voice was indeed that voice. How could Su Heng be so... so beautiful?
Only after entering the yard did Meng Xiao see Lu Mingchuan holding a kerosene lamp behind Su Heng.
He stood there, clearly a living person, but he restrained his breath and no one noticed him at all.
Meng Xiao's eyes narrowed. This man was no ordinary man. Uncle Lin, who came in with a cart behind him, also tensed up instantly.
"Who is he?" Meng Xiao asked.
Su Heng had forgotten to tell him before, and just as she was about to introduce him, she heard Lu Mingchuan say, "I'm her husband."
Although this was true, Su Heng couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat when she heard his deep voice say the word "husband".
Meng Xiao looked at Su Heng when he heard that, and Su Heng nodded, agreeing with Lu Mingchuan's words.
"You got married early."
She looks like she is still a little girl, how come she is married?
Uncle Lin coughed in the back. It was ridiculous to say such things in someone else's house. He quickly asked with a smile, "Where is the food? Why don't we check it first?"
Meng Xiao and Uncle Lin each rode a 28-inch bicycle with several large bags of grain tied to the bicycle. Su Heng immediately led them to push the bicycle to the door of the west room.
"Put it in this room. The herbs and honey are already packed in there."
So the two of them helped to move the grain in. The Lu family had a small scale, so Meng Xiao asked Su Heng to check the weight, and then opened the bag and asked her to check the rice.
Su Heng could use his special ability to check without opening the box and found that it was all this year's new grain, which should have been shipped from the south.
After grabbing a few handfuls and smelling the strong rice fragrance, Su Heng said there was no problem and took out the herbs for Meng Xiao to check.
Meng Xiao trusted Su Heng, so he used her scale to weigh the bag, opened the bag and checked the Codonopsis pilosula on the top.
Seeing that there was no problem, he paid the bill readily.
After selling 135 kilograms of medicinal herbs and 35 kilograms of wild honey, and deducting the money from selling grain, Su Heng still got 72.5 yuan.
Meng Xiao received all the money in whole amounts, except for the big unity which was only one dollar, which he rounded up to seventy-three for her.
Su Heng happily got the money for free. Looking at the flashlight in Uncle Lin's hand, she asked, "Do you have any more flashlights for sale?"
In fact, there is also a 28-inch truck, which she also wants, because the tractor is really shaking.
