Volume Four, Third Floor. Village Chapter 130. Stormy Night
"Does Dr. Chen Qing like Sister Qiao?"
Tang Ling stared at Chen Qing intently, and suddenly asked out the curiosity in her heart. Under her direct gaze, Chen Qing's face began to turn red visibly, and the hand that was not holding something slowly touched
After thinking for a while, he replied shyly: "I admire her very much."
Sister Qiao, there are still people who are watching you silently from places you don’t know about.
Tang Ling became happy, and she couldn't help laughing. As a result, Chen Qing's face in front of her became even redder, like a ripe persimmon. Chen Qing was like the innocent young man who had just learned something, and looked at her in a panic.
Tang Ling then told her, "Well, remember to keep it a secret for me! Don't tell her!"
"Okay!" Tang Ling nodded in agreement with a smirk on her face.
"Lingling? Why are you here?"
The two of them had almost reached the front of the infirmary. Qiao Lingxiang, who was sorting out information in the room, happened to notice the figure approaching outside the window. When she looked up, she saw Tang Ling with a happy face and Chen Qing with a serious face next to her.
, but it was a little different from the usual seriousness, more like pretending to be calm. Qiao Lingxiang felt strange in her heart, but she was still very happy when she saw Tang Ling coming. She put down what she was doing and stood at the door.
The outsiders greeted them and asked Tang Ling with a smile.
"Hey, hey, come and see Sister Qiao, Sister Qiao, the weather is so nice today! It's such a good day!"
Tang Ling, whose mind was occupied by Chen Qing and Qiao Lingxiang's affairs, had long forgotten her purpose of coming to see Qiao Lingxiang in the first place. She was sincerely happy for Qiao Lingxiang, and suddenly said an unknown word of praise for the weather, which attracted Qiao Lingxiang.
She looked up at the sky in confusion. Thick clouds piled up in the blue sky, blocking the sun. The earth looked a little dark, and the thick clouds seemed to be darkening. Qiao Lingxiang murmured doubtfully: "This
Weather alright?"
"Ahem! Lingxiang, can you help me find some materials? I may need them urgently."
Chen Qing beside her didn't wait for Tang Ling to speak again. She coughed loudly twice, and then ordered Qiao Lingxiang with a serious look. After hearing Chen Qing's request, Qiao Lingxiang stopped chatting with Tang Ling and turned around.
I ran into the house to find the documents I needed to file a petition, but I felt a little strange in my heart. Why are these two things a little abnormal today?
Chen Qing stared reproachfully at Tang Ling, who was snickering next to her, and guessed that she was causing trouble on purpose. Just as Qiao Lingxiang turned her back, she reluctantly clasped her hands towards Tang Ling and begged silently,
Tang Ling nodded, but the joy on her face did not weaken at all.
"Dr. Chen..."
Just when Tang Ling was happy about Qiao Lingxiang and Chen Qing, a familiar middle-aged male voice suddenly came from behind her. The expression on Tang Ling's face froze, and she froze, and a hot breath passed by.
He looked at her and stood next to her. The man was very close to her. The sticky heat radiating from his body made Tang Ling want to stay away. Chen Qing didn't notice anything strange about Tang Ling. He looked at
Chen Qing turned to the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere while they were talking. Chen Qing had an impression of this man. The new guy who moved to the village some time ago seemed to be named Chen Rende? It was quite a coincidence that he was the same as him.
He had the same surname, so Chen Qing had a little impression of him. In addition, the medical box he had been carrying a few days ago suddenly fell apart halfway, and the equipment and other things were scattered all over the floor. Chen Rende, who was passing by, helped him pick it up together.
The medical equipment and medicines were there, so Chen Qing still had a good impression of him.
"Chen Rende? That's the right name, right? Hello, what's the matter?" Chen Qing asked after thinking for a while.
"Yes, I am Chen Rende. Doctor Chen, I heard from people in the village that your medical skills are very good. Can you prescribe some medicine for me? I feel a little cold recently, and my body keeps going hot and cold." Chen Rende
He scratched the back of his head somewhat honestly and replied with a smile towards Chen Qing. He looked at Chen Qing expectantly and began to talk about his problems.
"Do you have a cold? Come on, let's go in and let me take a look." Chen Qing said and invited Chen Rende to go to the infirmary. Then he turned his head and looked at the person standing not far from Chen Rende.
Tang Ling, who lowered her head without saying a word, asked, "Tang Ling, do you want to go in? Go play with Lingxiang for a while?"
"So your name is Tang Ling?"
Before Tang Ling could raise her head to answer, Chen Rende beside her suddenly lowered her head and looked at Tang Ling in surprise. Tang Ling was stunned when she heard this. She pursed her lips and did not answer. She grasped the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, unwilling to pay attention.
Chen Rende.
"Do you know each other?" Chen Qing asked curiously, looking at Chen Rende looking at Tang Ling with a look that was not unfamiliar.
"Oh, this child is the granddaughter of my neighbor. When I first moved here, I received help from his family and I met her sometimes. Isn't that right? Tang Ling?" Chen Rende explained to Chen Qing, just
His eyes kept looking at Tang Ling who was standing next to him up to his belly button. He looked at Tang Ling's furry head, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, and he rubbed the fingers hanging by his side involuntarily.
.
Seeing that Tang Ling kept her head buried and ignored Chen Rende, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Chen Qing quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Tang Ling may be a little scared of strangers, I'm sorry. This child may not speak well when she meets people she doesn't know well."
Somewhat less.”
"It's okay, she's very cute." Chen Rende said that he didn't care at all. He waved his hand and said in a familiar manner, "Oh, let's not chat here anymore. Let's go to the doctor's infirmary and look at the sky.
It's going to change soon. It won't be good if you catch a cold later, but I don't care. I'm just worried that my child will get cold."
"Yes, let's go in." Chen Qing nodded in agreement, then shouted to Tang Ling, and began to ask about Chen Rende's condition.
The aura that frightened her for no reason was finally far away from her. Only then did Tang Ling realize that a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back. She patted her chest with some fear and ignored Chen Rende and Chen Rende who were walking in front.
Chen Qing ran directly into the infirmary to find Qiao Lingxiang. Tang Ling's sudden move shocked Chen Qing and Chen Rende. Chen Qing frowned in disapproval, but Chen Rende laughed and praised.
: "Children are so energetic! It's great!"
Several people entered the room one after another, and Chen Qing then closed the door of the infirmary. The clouds in the sky had become darker and darker during this period. The wind began to blow at some point, and the vegetation in the surrounding countryside began to sway with the wind.
, the entire village in the mountains became dim.
Things are going to change.
"It looks like there will be a violent storm tonight." In the infirmary, after handing the information to Chen Qing, Qiao Lingxiang sat in the lounge chatting with Tang Ling and murmured as she looked at the strong wind outside the window. Sitting on her
Tang Ling, who was on the side, also looked out the window after hearing this. The dark clouds seemed to be stirring, and it was completely black. Even though it was just after noon, the world seemed to have entered the dark night. It was dark all around, and there were few people on the country roads.
Pedestrians were strolling leisurely, and everyone was running away in a hurry, rushing to get home early.
Tang Ling shrank into Qiao Lingxiang's arms with some fear. She always felt that today was full of uneasiness. There was a heavy feeling on her chest that made it difficult to breathe. She didn't know where it came from. She just hoped that everything was just hers.
illusion.
Not an illusion!
The bamboo forest outside Tang Ling's bedroom was blown around, and the branches and leaves slapped against the window glass, making a harsh noise. Big raindrops hit the glass along with the branches and leaves, and the howling wind also joined in. They were so hard
, seemed to want to directly smash the last layer of defense blocking the house, and the surroundings were filled with annoying noises, which also cleverly covered up the movements deliberately hidden in this violent storm.
Tang Ling opened a small gap in the curtains on the side of the yard. She left it intentionally before going to bed tonight. She couldn't say why, but she suddenly felt that she should leave a gap when she went to bed tonight.
Now, in the dark room, that crack is the only source of light.
Tang Ling didn't know how long she had been hiding next to the gap. Her body had become a little stiff because she had been maintaining the same posture, and her legs were a little numb, but she had no time to care. Her eyes were wide open.
, she was wearing the clothes she had deliberately not changed out of before going to bed, and her body was a little cold because she was not covered with a quilt to keep her warm. Tang Ling did not move, she did not dare to move, and she stood boldly in their yard without paying attention.
The black shadow will leave your sight.
It was so quiet all around. It was so quiet that I could only hear the dull sound of rain and wind coming in from outside the window. I could only hear her heart beating wildly in her chest. I could only hear her breathing getting lighter and lighter.
Cold sweat slid down her forehead to her chin, dripping on the wooden floor. Tang Ling's whole body felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar. She didn't even have the courage to grab a corner of the curtain that was close at hand. She just stood there stiffly.
Standing together with the dark figure standing in the yard, they maintained a tacit understanding that they did not know each other but reached an agreement.
No one moved.
Until a deafening thunder came from the sky, followed by lightning that turned from night to day almost instantly, hitting the earth. With that white light, Tang Ling could clearly see the true identity of the black figure in the yard.
face.
There is no longer the docile and honest smile on his face that is about to overflow when he faces Chen Qing during the day. The unconcealed viciousness and perverted desire are intuitively displayed on his face. He is wearing a raincoat and standing in the howling wind and rain.
In the center, Chen Rende's eyes were locked on Tang Ling's bedroom and he was licking his lips uncontrollably.
At that moment when the white light flashed, Tang Ling met his beast-like eyes perfectly.
