Li Wazi responded to Liu Duo faster than Ye Mo could. “Mrs. Ye, there aren’t any outhouses here. We usually resolve these emergencies in secret.”
Ye Mo stared at him in dismay. Is this guy a bit too enthusiastic? That’s my wife, and she’s asking me.
Li Wazi did not think too much. This was Ye Mo’s wife. If it were someone else, he would not be as attentive.
“Argh!” Liu Duo felt very crossed.
She could get used to the outhouse if toilets were unavailable. But having to find a dark hidden spot to attend to her needs was too much for her. She could not accept it.
She went away, dragging her long face. Whatever. It’s not that bad. I’ll have to endure it until I get home.
“I’ll bring you,” Mo said, and walked up.
He saw Liu Duo’s disappointment and felt strange inside.
Liu Duo was surprised to hear him say that. She needed to relieve herself, and he’s bringing her? It’s just weird!
“Third brother Mo, let me go with her,” Li Chunmei said, announcing her presence as she approached.
Liu Duo looked at her and thought, This girl sure knows how to make an appearance.
“There’s no need. I’m going home to settle this.” There were no outhouses there, and with her? Why her?
She faced the slope that was towards the direction of home.
Ye Mo was stubborn. He left the paddy field, pulled out weeds to wipe mud off his hands, and chased after her.
“I’m taking you. Home is still quite far away, so don’t want you to hold it for that long,” he said coolly as he pulled Liu Duo in another direction.
Under his grip, Liu Duo refuted him in her mind, You’re the one who’s held it for too long!
If he could have heard her thoughts, he would definitely have engaged in combat, I certainly have held it for too long!
Li Wazi watched them leave and continued weeding, not thinking too much of it.
Yet Li Chunmei furrowed her brow, displeased, as she uttered, What’s she faking for? She’s not any family’s missy! I didn’t even want to go with you!
“What? Chunmei, what did you say?” Li Wazi looked up and asked, absent-mindedly.
“Ah, nothing. Brother Li, you’re hearing things.” Li Chunmei lowered her head and began weeding.
Ye Mo led Liu Duo to a deserted place, with grass so tall it could conceal human legs. It was peaceful all around. Only birds sang.
“Right, no one comes here. You finish your business, and I’ll stand guard,” With that, he released his grip and turned around, with his back to her.
Liu Duo observed her surroundings. She felt that this was a good place to hide a dead body, with grass so tall.
She took a few steps forward on her own, distancing herself a good five meters from Ye Mo. She found a spot with the tallest of grass, making sure that there was absolutely no one around before crouching down to pee.
When she finished, she straightened her clothes, got up, and stepped out.
She had only walked a few steps when she heard light movement behind her. She looked back and thought she saw something brush past her.
The wind blew, and the grass swayed with it. The scraping sound made her whole body go cold, and she shivered.
She immediately took to her heels, dragging Ye Mo with her.
“What’s going on?” Ye Mo asked curiously behind her.
She ran a distance and only shook off Ye Mo’s hand when she felt safe. She panted heavily, “Don’t go there again. It’s spooky.”
“Ah?”
She rolled her eyes at him. It was his fault she got scared. She marched forward, ignoring him.
“Exactly what happened?” Ye Mo asked again.
He could not understand why she had ran.
