Chapter 167 Chapter 167 Being attacked

On the other side, Xu Yunfan arrived at the river and walked towards his secret base.

It's a good time to swim in the river in the hot summer. Xu Yunfan was in a good mood. He hummed a song and looked around. There were not many people by the river at this time. Xu Yunfan breathed a sigh of relief. He took out the soap and panties from the wooden barrel and put them in order. Just as he undressed, he heard a rustling sound from the reeds.

The reeds in September have entered the flowering period. The reed flowers are slightly bent downwards, and the white reed flowers are intertwined into a piece. From a distance, it looks like white snow falling on the river bank.

Xu Yunfan was so used to seeing such beautiful scenery that he didn't even look closely. Suddenly, he heard a voice and quickly put on his clothes. He asked in a deep voice, "Who's there?"

There was a constant rustling sound in the reeds, but no one responded. Xu Yunfan scratched his head, "Who is it? Why aren't you saying anything?"

As he spoke, Xu Yunfan turned his head and looked around, only then did he find a wooden stick. With the stick in hand, Xu Yunfan became much bolder, and walked step by step towards the direction where the sound came from.

He was not afraid of people, but he was afraid that a snake or something else would suddenly jump out and scare him.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, Xu Yunfan had just pushed aside the reeds in front of him when a black shadow pounced directly towards him.

This is a person!

Xu Yunfan couldn't help but hit him with a stick.

"Ouch~" Xu Yunfan was thrown to the ground. He didn't care about the pain in his butt and took a breath. The air entering his lungs tasted wrong. Xu Yunfan suddenly felt a feeling of nausea spreading to his throat.

Xu Yunfan pushed the person away, tilted his head, and vomited with a "vomit" sound.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Do I look okay to you?"

"That's right. You are such a handsome little guy. Did you hurt your butt after falling? I'll pull you up." As he said that, Li Liu, who had already knocked Xu Yunfan to the ground and had already stood up from Xu Yunfan and stepped back a few steps, wanted to step forward to pull him up.

A sour smell rushed into Xu Yunfan's nostrils in waves as Li Liu moved.

Xu Yunfan felt his stomach churning, and he continued to dry heave. He supported himself with his hands behind his back, looked at the person walking towards him, and moved back with a look of fear, putting some distance between him and Li Liu. "Stop, stop, stop, don't come over here, I can get up by myself."

"Are you afraid of me?"

Xu Yunfan's frightened look was very novel to Li Liu, and even seemed unbelievable.

That's impossible. Physically speaking, he is even thinner than Xu Yunfan. Why would Xu Yunfan be afraid of him?

"I'm not afraid of you, but I can't stand the special fragrance on you. I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't quite appreciate your smell." Is Xu Yunfan afraid of people?

What he was afraid of was the sour smell on Li Liu that made him feel dizzy.

Li Liu paused for a moment, then reacted and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You're still laughing." It was the first time Xu Yunfan saw such an unkempt person, who looked like a beggar.

Beggars have no conditions, but what about Li Liu?

I heard that his family owned dozens of acres of land, and he was the youngest in the family. In his early years, his family found a job for him. I heard that he worked as a servant and did not return to the village until he was twenty years old.

To be a book boy, to put it nicely, it is called a book boy, but to put it bluntly, it is just a servant serving the young masters.

But even such work is considered the best in the eyes of the villagers. Even if it is a servant, it must be a "refined" servant.

After all, following those young masters, they can more or less learn a few words, and their daily work is just serving tea and water. Isn't that easier than digging the land in the village?

The reason why Li Liu was able to become a student was that he had gone through a series of selections and caught the young master's eye.

There was no other reason. Ten-year-old Li Liu was fair and clean, and his appearance was more delicate than that of a girl. In short, he was good-looking. He had a good-looking servant boy by his side. Even if he couldn't read a single word, in the eyes of those young masters, it would be very face-saving to take him out.

So Li Liu was chosen.

It was originally thought that after Li Liu left, he would probably not have to return to the village and be a village man like them for the rest of his life. However, ten years later, Li Liu came back alone, limping with a small package on his back.

The villagers were curious and went to the Li family several times to chat with them, asking about Li Liu in various ways. However, the Li family always had the same excuse. It was nothing more than that his parents were old and he wanted to come back to fulfill his filial duties. Besides, the young master had gone to the capital, so which parent would let their child go so far away?

Some people believed this statement, but some people did not.

Who made Li Liu stay indoors for a long time after returning home? Even if he went out and met other men, Li Liu would look frightened and run away.

In addition, Li Liu had a handsome and good-looking appearance, so rumors about Li Liu began to spread in the village. Those rumors were unbearable to hear. Some said that Li Liu was bullied by men, and some said that the young master Li Liu probably had a preference for men instead of girls or boys. Otherwise, why didn't he choose others at the beginning, but had to choose Li Liu, who had the most outstanding appearance?

Therefore, Li Liu was probably abused, and then he was played with too much and became loose, so he was sent back. The Li family probably felt embarrassed and found an excuse.

These rumors were spread in a very convincing manner, and the logic was surprisingly smooth, so the men in the village or other villages became curious. After all, they had only heard of this kind of thing but had never experienced it. Suddenly, someone who had "experienced" it appeared next to them, so wouldn't some of them be eager to try it?

Xu Yunfan didn't know about these things. There were many people in Dali Village, and Xu Yunfan didn't have much of a good impression of the Li family. He rarely went there, so naturally he rarely saw Li Liu.

Xu Yunfan stood up. As a straight man who had been turned gay, his radar in some areas was not very accurate. He thought that since we were all men, there was nothing to be shy about. He rubbed his butt with one hand and complained, "Why did you push me? Damn, my butt hurts so much, I don't know if it's purple."

Seeing Xu Yunfan shamelessly rubbing his butt in front of him, if it were any other man, Li Liu would definitely think that the other party was doing something suggestive to him, but Xu Yunfan was not like that.

Even if it wasn't true, Li Liu still blushed and stammered, "I was sleeping here and heard the noise. I thought...that's why I..."

Li Liu was used to being vigilant. When he was resting at home, his parents would always worry whether he had encountered any trouble. Every time, they wanted to check him from head to toe, fearing that he would be "bullied" by other men.

He knew that his parents were just concerned about him, but he felt embarrassed and sad about it.

Over time, when Li Liu wanted to take a nap, he would find a secluded place outside to sleep.

The reeds are very dense. If a person wants to hide inside without making any noise, people passing by outside will not be able to detect that there is anyone inside.

Xu Yunfan chose this side because of this. As a result, Li Liu mistakenly thought that someone was coming. He planned to knock the person down and run away, so he kept silent for a long time, waiting for the person to pass by, and then took advantage of the person's unpreparedness, and then he pounced on the person.

"You're sleeping here?" Xu Yunfan's voice was even louder. "Why don't you go back to sleep? It's scary to come out in broad daylight."

The rustling sound just now was most likely caused by the man turning over and pressing down the reed leaves.

Li Liu said nothing.

"Eh, you smell of sweat. Can't you just wash and pay attention to your personal hygiene?" Xu Yunfan pinched his nose with one hand and waved the other hand left and right in front of him, as if the sour smell would disappear if he waved it a few times.

Since they were all men, Xu Yunfan didn't hesitate to speak. Li Liu didn't take it seriously. "Is it really that bad? Why don't I smell it?"

"You know what it means to smell something long enough that you don't notice its stench anymore?"

"Know."

"I know you're still not going to wash. I heard you're the village bachelor? I think you're just not particular, that's why no girls or boys are interested in you."

Xu Yunfan threw away the stick, turned around and walked towards the river, then looked back at the person who was still standing there, "Do you want to come and wash?"

Li Liu shook his head.

Seeing this, Xu Yunfan ignored him.

Xu Yunfan took off his clothes and was only wearing a pair of shorts. He took a few steps back to run, and then there was a plop.

Li Liu didn't follow after feeling embarrassed. When he heard the sound of splashing water, he moved closer, feeling uneasy. "Xu kid, don't go to the center of the river. The water is deep there."

"Don't worry, I can swim."

Li Liu sat by the river and said, "You know, nine out of ten people who drowned in the past were good swimmers. Just move closer to the river."

It’s closer to the river, so if Xu Yunfan gets into trouble, he can help.

Xu Yunfan sank into the water, then emerged with a thud. He swam obediently closer to the riverbank and looked up at Li Liu for a moment. "Li Liu, don't you recognize me?"

"I know him." Xu Yunfan's reputation is very loud in the village. No one doesn't know him as the number one man. Although Li Liu rarely goes to the Qin family, he has seen Xu Yunfan from afar several times.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Yunfan looks even better than the young masters he had met before.

Such people are easily remembered.

Li Liu once saw Xu Yunfan carrying a basket on his back and returning to the village. When the boys in the village passed by him, they would steal a few glances at him from time to time. Every time, Xu Yunfan would stare at them without blinking, as if he didn't notice them and didn't even look at them.

For this reason, after discovering that the person he had knocked down was Xu Yunfan, Li Liu gave up the idea of ​​reaching for the knife.

"Since we know each other, don't you hate me?" Xu Yunfan was very curious. Most of the people in their Li family should hate him to death.

After all, he got Li Yunfei into trouble.

Li Liu didn't answer but asked: "What about you, do you think I'm disgusting?"

Some men clearly think he is disgusting, but out of curiosity they have dirty thoughts about him.

I wonder if Xu Yunfan is the same.

Speaking of which, Li Liu hadn't spoken like this to a man other than his family for a long time.

Or it could be said that, apart from his family, few villagers would talk to him. Even if he took the initiative, the old ladies would look at him with undisguised contempt.

They despised him but were puzzled at the same time. Why would such a good man be fucked by a man like a sissy?

Doesn't he feel ashamed?

Over time, Li Liu stopped taking the initiative to greet others.

As for the rumors that he molested several girls in the village, that was just because he was angry. It was because those people said he was a rabbit god and that he had been sold in the provincial capital in his early years.

Of course, Xu Yunfan was also unaware of these things. He just thought Li Liu was talking about the smell on his body. "Disgusting? If you take a good shower and clean yourself up, I won't find you disgusting. I don't mean anything else. It's just that the smell of your sweat has become sour. It makes me want to vomit after smelling it too much."

As an exquisite and handsome man, Xu Yunfan couldn't stand Li Liu's sloppy appearance the most. Just looking at him made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Li Liu laughed grimly. "Are all the young men these days so direct in their words? Go wash quickly. I'll watch over you. I'll tell you when someone comes."

If he didn't smell a little bit, those men would probably come over to smell him to see if he smelled as good as the girls and boys.

Even after he said so, Li Liu remained indifferent. Xu Yunfan simply stopped talking and took a shower seriously.

After washing, he did not forget to pick up the fishing rod that was used as decoration and take it back.

Li Liu shook his head and laughed. He probably knew why Xu Yunfan brought the fishing rod.

When Xu Yunfan returned home carrying a fish, he smelled the fragrance of food as soon as he stepped into the yard.

There are guests at home tonight, and Qin Run prepared a rich variety of dishes, including a plate of roast duck, a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, a dish of sweet and sour spare ribs, and two of Xu Yunfan's favorite dishes, stir-fried pork with sour beans and tiger skin braised pork.

But when it comes to tiger skin braised pork, Xu Yunfan only likes to eat the lean meat, and Qin Run usually eats the fat for him.

Qin Run cleaned up the fish that Xu Yunfan brought back and said, "Uncle Xiao, do you like fish? Tell me and I'll cook."

Although he knew that Qin Run's words were just polite words and that he treated him as a guest, Xiao Hengzhi was still very happy. "It's all fine. You're a good cook. Everything you cook tastes delicious. I'm not picky."

If the owner of the inn in Beijing heard what Xiao Hengzhi said, he would probably have flipped the table.

Who would believe what Xiao Hengzhi said?

Qin Run believed it and said, "Then I'll make sweet and sour fish." Xu Yunfan loved sweet and sour fish, but he was too lazy to pick out the fish bones.

"Wow, we have such a rich meal tonight." Xu Yunfan put down the bucket with a smile. Seeing Xiao Hengzhi sitting in front of the kitchen stove helping to chop firewood, he was stunned. "Uncle Xiao, why are you in the kitchen?"

It was obvious that Xiao Hengzhi was not from an ordinary family. He was just a village man. He would work in the fields with his wife and husband, and when they came back, it was still his wife who would do the washing and cooking. In their opinion, these housework were things that women should do. How could a man do these things?

This is the case even in the village, not to mention the men from wealthy families.

Xu Yunfan was just surprised, but when his words fell into Xiao Hengzhi's ears, they took on a different meaning.

Xiao Hengzhi didn't have enough physical strength to fold large pieces of firewood, so he folded them into small pieces so that Qin An could use them for the next fire. "Why, men can't enter the kitchen?"

It was obvious that Xiao Hengzhi's movements were very unfamiliar. Xu Yunfan picked up the hatchet and started chopping the firewood that Xiao Hengzhi had left. "Uncle Xiao, look at what you're saying. Men can't enter the kitchen. Does that mean the husband still doesn't have to eat? I'm mainly curious why someone like you is sitting here."

"Someone like me? What kind of person am I?"

"He's the kind of guy who lives a life of luxury and never has to worry about anything!"

"You say it as if you're not."

"Yes, I am, but I'm a good man. A good man will definitely help his husband share the housework."

So, I'm helping my husband, why are you coming in to join in the fun?

Xu Yunfan didn't know how to praise Xiao Hengzhi's talent. Qin An and Qin Mu could easily fold those small pieces of firewood. Placing them horizontally would take up more space than placing them vertically, but he was also well-intentioned, so Xu Yunfan didn't say anything.

After chopping enough firewood to boil water for bathing tonight, the fish made by Qin Run was ready.

"It smells so good! Run'er, your cooking skills have improved again."

Qin Run blushed when Xu Yunfan praised him. "No, it's the same as before. Take Uncle Xiao to wash his hands. We can have dinner soon."

Xu Yunfan put down his hatchet and hurried to the well to fetch water to wash his hands. "Uncle Xiao, can you wash with cold water?"

Seeing that Xiao Hengzhi looked sick, Xu Yunfan asked this question specifically to prevent him from feeling unwell later.

"Sure." Xiao Hengzhi broke a lot of firewood with his hands. There was a lot of dust and sawdust in the cracks of his nails. He washed them very carefully. Xu Yunfan stood aside and watched in amazement.

Xiao Hengzhi's fingers are very slender, his nails are trimmed and round, the edges are neat and clean, the lines on his hands are very light, and his nails are a suitable light red. With such conditions, he probably doesn't need any post-production retouching to get a hand mask. These hands are indeed qualified to compete with him.

He finally understood why, when he first arrived in Dali Village, the villagers always said that he was different from them and that he looked like a young master.

I think he was a delicate young master back then, but now he can do anything, from climbing trees to swimming in rivers?

Xu Yunfan shifted his gaze from Xiao Hengzhi's bony hands, "Uncle Xiao, take your time washing them. I'll go get the rice first."

Xiao Hengzhi looked up at Xu Yunfan, nodded, and let him go.

Xiao Hengzhi knew that Xu Yunfan was observing him, and similarly, he was also observing Xu Yunfan.
