I'll know if this elf is good or not

"Su Bai, look, that's the Golden Leaf Plain. Dazhi City used to be the main place for growing grain. When I was a kid, when I was hungry, I would often run there to pick corn and roast it." Ma Manman pointed to a golden wheat field in the distance and introduced with a smile.

"Eh? Doctor Ma can also be so naughty sometimes? I can't tell now."

Ma Manman covered her mouth and chuckled, revealing a rare bit of innocence among girls of her age. Perhaps it was because she had spent more time with her grandmother in the past few days and felt protected by her elders, Ma Manman's temperament had subtly changed. She was no longer as distant as before, and had become more innocent, romantic, and unguarded.

"Don't underestimate me, okay? I used to be considered the little devil of Dashi Village, okay?"

That’s right. In the past, Dazhi City was a village just like Qingzhu Village. It has only quietly developed into the scale of a city in recent years. Ma Manman had already told Su Bai about this along the way.

"But there are times when I make mistakes..."

Ma Manman supported her body with her hands behind her back, showing off her curvy figure. At the same time, her two white legs were swinging outside the car.

"I remember the most dangerous time. I ran to the fields at night to find food. I wanted to pick two corns and run away as usual, but when I was going back, I suddenly saw a big pumpkin in the field. I was bewitched and went to pick it. Guess what happened?"

Su Bai said in a flattering tone: "Were you caught?"

"No, it would be fine if we were just caught..."

Ma Manman deliberately slowed down her tone and her expression became a little more gloomy: "At that time, I saw a large piece of will-o'-the-wisp coming out of the pumpkin!

then……

Wow!

The pumpkin turned into a pumpkin spirit right before my eyes!"

Ma Manman wanted to see if Su Bai was scared, but he remained calm and even gave a reply like a comment.

"Because corn and pumpkins are in the same season, it makes sense for pumpkin spirits to mix into corn fields. Well, this is very scientific."

Ma Manman: “…”

"Don't you think it's scary? That's a pumpkin spirit. It will put its entire body on the heads of children and take their souls to another world. It will then disguise itself as a child and sneak into ordinary families!"

Oh, yes, there is such a legend about the pumpkin spirit.

From a modern perspective, this elf is like a painted skin monster.

? There is also an additional layer of Western elements.

In this world, I guess not only children are afraid, but even adults will have psychological trauma, because there are no ghosts in reality, but there really are pumpkin spirits in this world.

Of course, the story is definitely exaggerated. After all, I have never heard of an elf like the Pumpkin Spirit being able to perform a transformation.

But think about it, the talking Gastly in the original version could also transform?

If that's taken into account...it's hard to say what the logic is.

But who made Su Bai have a preconceived notion? In his eyes, this thing was just a fool that could be conquered by a single shot from Musashi.

Seeing that Su Bai still had a nonchalant smile on his face, Ma Manman also got competitive. She frowned and subconsciously said in a strange tone: "Aren't you worried about me? Alas, when I get older, no one cares about me. If it were Bai Luo, you would have asked about her well-being by now..."

After saying this, Ma Manman herself felt something was wrong. Why did she feel a little sour?

What is the relationship between Su Bai and Bai Luo? Now in the village, except for the two of them who are not aware of it, I guess everyone thinks they are a couple.

In the ancient context, if there was no engagement or ambiguous relationship, what decent girl would spend all day with a man of the same age?

Although they themselves were not aware of this problem...

Ma Manman naturally couldn't guess what the two were thinking.

She felt that Su Bai did not have a very deep relationship with her, at most it was a doctor-patient relationship?

Or friends?

Why should anyone care about an old girl like you?

If you think too much, you will be sad. Alas, is it her fault that she is single?

Ma Manman pursed her lips and tried to change the subject.

But at this moment, Su Bai pretended to be surprised and asked, "So... Team Leader Ma who has always been by our side is actually a pumpkin head?"

"Pfft?"

Ma Manman was amused by Su Bai's nonsense words: "You are the one with the pumpkin head~"

At that time, my grandmother was afraid that something might happen to me. In fact, whenever I went out at night, she would send elves to secretly protect me. As soon as the pumpkin spirit showed up, it was chased away by my grandmother’s elves.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Su Bai paused, lowered his head and said, "Actually, I've encountered something similar, just recently."

"?"

Ma Manman tilted her head curiously.

Su Bai said: "Remember the time when I was injured in the hospital a while ago?"

"Remember, you escaped from the hospital on the first day..."

“That happened on the second day.”

After Su Bai came out of the Black Mine Mountains the next day, he was still taken to the hospital by everyone and stayed there for one night.

"That night, I was alone in the hospital when I heard a scream from next door."

Ma Manman was stunned: "Wait, were there other patients in the hospital at that time? Remember there was no one else except you and me?"

"Really? But I heard it."

Su Bai's expression was lost in memories.

"My cat didn't make any noise at the time, so I thought it was probably too tired recently, so I didn't bother it. The noise was just next door, so I decided to go check it out."

"But when I walked next door, I found that the lights in the corridor and ward suddenly went out."

Su Bai's tone was very low, and Ma Manman felt uneasy. She swallowed and asked, "Shouldn't you come to me first in this situation? It's much safer to act alone..."

Su Bai narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ma Manman: "Really? In fact, it's not safe for Doctor Ma to be with me late at night."

Ma Manman's pretty face turned red, and she spat and punched Su Bai on the shoulder with her little fist.

Is this kid so bold? He even dares to tease the doctor?

"Ah~"

Su Bai grabbed the white little hand that was carrying the hammer. Doctor Ma probably often comes into contact with some delicate medical operations, so his fingers are slender and bony, but still soft.

"Doctor Ma, don't you want to know what happens next?"

Ma Manman broke away from Su Bai's hand, turned her head away, and said seriously: "Then please speak nicely, don't be so glib."

"Okay~

At that time, I knocked on the door of the next room first and asked if the person inside was okay.

But there was no response from inside, and just as I was wondering, I found that the door slowly opened by itself...

I saw a female patient inside, who was barefoot and stomping around near the bed, as if she was drunk.

I thought the patient was looking for something, or maybe she had some health problems and wanted to see a doctor, so I approached her and asked if she needed help.”
