Rural Strongest Little Divine Doctor

The thunder outside was so loud that the window glass rattled.

The torrential rain lashed the building, whipped by the wind, crackling and splattering.

Suddenly, a clap of thunder boomed, and the lights in the room went out.

Clearly, the circuit breaker had tripped.

The room was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Only when lightning streaked across the sky did the bright light from the windows illuminate the people in the room.

Girls are generally more timid by nature, though there are exceptions like Hong Jiaxin.

One could hear Tang Guihua's delicate voice, "Niu Zai, go down and see if the breaker has tripped."

Without lights, in the darkness, those of faint heart always suspect the supernatural.

Any shadow might be construed as connected to something spooky and mysterious.

Luo Yang laughed, "Sister Guihua, sitting and listening to the rain isn't bad either."

All of a sudden, he pretended to be startled, "Eh! What's that? Did you see it? Such long arms!"

One could hear An Yuying's timid voice, "Niu Zai, what did you see? Don't scare me. I'm afraid."

The other girls huddled together, only Hong Jiaxin scoffed, "Don't believe him! He's just trying to scare us."

With a laugh, Luo Yang said, "As long as I'm here, even if there are ghosts, there's nothing to fear."

He was just joking.

But for the girls, it wasn't pleasant to be frightened.

Tang Guihua reproached sweetly, "Niu Zai! If you dare to talk like that again, see how I'll settle the score with you!"

At that moment, she felt like giving Luo Yang a lesson.

Since she wasn't nearby and the room was engulfed in darkness, she didn't dare approach him.

Luo Yang laughed, "Sister Guihua, don't be afraid."

As he spoke, he suddenly let out a scream, "Wow! What is that at the window?!"

The shadows of trees swaying in the wind were vaguely cast upon the glass, looking like demons flailing wildly.

The girls in the room screamed in alarm.

There's an old saying: scaring people can scare them to death.

One could hear Luo Yang laughing heartily, while Tang Guihua angrily said, "Niu Zai! I won't let you off easily. You'll realize your mistake in a while. I'll see if I let you kneel on a washboard!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang quickly suppressed his laughter and said, "Sister Guihua, I really saw a shadow and got scared. I wasn't trying to scare you. Look, there's still a shadow moving on the window."

It was indeed the shadow of the swaying tree.

However, Luo Yang's prior acts of feigned shock had frightened the girls.

If the lights were on and there was no thunder, no matter how much he played-up his act of mock terror, it would be hard to truly frighten the girls.

Right now, amidst the storm and the thunder and lightning, the piercing thunder roars were indeed frightening.

Let alone the girls, even a brave young man like Luo Yang shuddered upon hearing them.

"Niu Zai, you'd better hurry down and turn the power back on, or I'll never forgive you!" Tang Guihua commanded sweetly.

At this time, Luo Yang was the only one brave enough to go downstairs.

Actually, Hong Jiaxin had the courage as well, but since she was a girl, the others were embarrassed to ask her to go.

It seemed more fitting for a boy to take care of such matters.

Luo Yang laughed, "Sister Guihua, I recommend someone to you. She's particularly good at flipping the circuit breaker. She's our class monitor."

In the dim light, he turned toward Hong Jiaxin and laughed, "Class monitor, great responsibilities are about to be bestowed upon you, to go switch the power back on. Aren't you going?"

One could hear Hong Jiaxin angrily say, "Talk nonsense again, and I'll beat you to death!"

Laughter from the girls filled the room.

Then they heard Tang Guihua laugh sweetly, "Jiaxin, I support you. Go hit him."

In the darkness, Hong Jiaxin found it inconvenient to make a move.

If it had been any normal time, she would have already used her Embroidered Fist and Flowery Kicks on him.

At this point, An Yuying said in a frail voice, "Niu Zai, why don't you go and flip the circuit breaker back on? It's so dark in here; you can hardly see anyone."

Luo Yang laughed, "Don't rush me. I'll go in a bit."

Resetting the breaker, another thunderclap might trip it again, so perhaps it's better to leave it for now.
