Chapter 8 Glass people are very fragile, please handle them with care Countryside love story...
Chu Xiuyan stared at Zhang Chun's back as he lazily walked away, rubbing his red forehead, and simply sat cross-legged on the ground, shouting in a dragging voice: "Yes~ the vicissitudes-faced big brother who has never received a love letter at the age of 28~"
Zhang Chun, who was a few meters away, staggered and turned his head to shout, "Don't speak in that tone, it's disgusting!"
Chu Xiuyan curled his lips, "This uncle is so difficult to get along with."
Three large black cars drove slowly by. The driver of the last one was a young man with a crew cut. He put his right arm on the window and leaned out slightly to Chu Xiuyan who was sitting on the ground and said, "Did you make the village chief angry again?"
Because they were of similar age, in this convoy from the Huangshi settlement, except for Zhang Chun and the scar-faced uncle, the young man was the first to become familiar with Chu Xiuyan.
He said, "We are going to enter the village next. Don't be fooled by the village chief's lazy and useless appearance. He is actually very mean. If you don't please him, you will probably be kicked out. Winter is coming soon. You may not survive if you are like this."
After he finished speaking, he shook his head regretfully.
Chu Xiuyan opened his eyes wide, immediately got up, followed the car in small steps, and said in a low voice: "What you said makes sense! In this case, do you think we should join forces to secretly kill the uncle? Then I will be the village chief and you will be the deputy village chief."
"Huh?" The driver coughed repeatedly, as if he was choking on saliva, and interrupted him, "Ah ah ah ah, look, there's a person growing on the tree over there."
"That child is stuck in a tree and can't get down." Chu Xiuyan stared at the driver without turning his head and turned the topic back to the topic that had been diverted. "What do you think? Let's do it tonight."
The driver saw Zhang Chun, who was walking in front of the convoy, pick up the child hanging from the tree, and then walked over and whispered, "The village chief is here."
"It's not the head teacher here, why are you panicking?"
Chu Xiuyan didn't care at all and raised his chin, then Zhang Chun came over and grabbed his head and pushed it down hard.
"Ouch, my neck! My neck is cramping!"
"Are we going to raid tonight? Can we do it another day? I've been on guard all night lately and it's been tiring."
Zhang Chun rubbed the boy's soft hair, then let go and said to the embarrassed driver, "By the way, it's you again. Every time you tease this kid, you always get teased back... You never learn your lesson."
"Damn it! I'm serious!" Chu Xiuyan pounced over with his teeth bared, trying to strangle Zhang Chun, but the opponent's dodging ability was probably at its maximum, and he easily avoided the boy's attack without even changing his breathing.
"Oh, I almost forgot. You successfully protected the caravan camp last night, I have to say thank you. If it weren't for you, when the leader of Graystone next door and I got back, there would probably be casualties in the camp."
Chu Xiuyan stood firm, "What? I didn't hear clearly."
"It was last night. There were alien plants attacking the camp. Thanks to you, no one was injured at the scene."
Chu Xiuyan: "That's not it. What do you want to say to me next? The one that starts with "thank you", the one with two words."
The words Zhang Chun wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He stared at the boy for a long time, then pretended not to hear anything and continued, "It was already daytime when you returned to the camp, and because of that scary ghost thing, I didn't find a chance to explain the situation to you..."
"Apologize for the magical gift I worked so hard to bring back."
"That's clearly a cursed object possessed by a vengeful spirit... Don't interrupt me, just listen to me. This time you were stronger than that ghost thing, so you didn't get hurt. But next time if you realize there's danger, hide in a big black car like this."
As he spoke, Zhang Chun took out a gun and pointed it at the rear window of the last car not far away. He calmly pulled the trigger and said, "These large black cars that reflect colorful colors under the sun are all equipped with special automatic protective walls. Once they are attacked, they will deploy a barrier like this."
Bang!
The bullet fired at the car window hit a suddenly appearing light red transparent layer, which was composed of small pentagonal faces like a honeycomb, with slight ripples, and then disappeared.
Chu Xiuyan exclaimed: "So handsome!"
He rushed over quickly, following the slowly moving truck in small steps, not even caring about the exhaust fumes. He felt the cold car body with both hands, thought for a moment, clenched his fists, exhaled a breath of hot air, and then pounded forward heavily.
A light red protective wall appeared, blocking Chu Xiuyan's fist.
Zhang Chun walked over and said, "That's it. It can withstand attacks of level A and below, probably about ten times. It is a relatively advanced means of transportation on the market..."
Before he could finish his words, his eyelids suddenly jumped, and he saw the light red transparent wall under the boy's fist suddenly cracked into pieces, and then, with a crisp sound, it shattered!
The driver in the driver's seat looked at the protective wall energy that instantly cleared on the display, and leaned his head back in shock: "Village Chief, what did you do? The protective wall energy is completely exhausted! It was more than 50% before!"
Chu Xiuyan slowly withdrew his hand and said thoughtfully: "Uncle, the merchant is using junk to fool you."
Zhang Chun: "I think this should be your problem..."
Before he could finish, the boy disappeared from the spot and rushed towards the village, leaving only a dark shadow that was getting smaller and smaller.
Zhang Chun held his forehead with his hand: "I didn't ask you to pay for it. You ran so fast, you little brat."
The convoy slowly stopped outside the village. There were already quite a few people standing at the entrance of the village. They gathered together to greet each other in a lively manner. Some helped unload the goods from the car, some chatted with their arms around each other, and a few children played around the adults. The atmosphere was leisurely.
Zhang Chun walked over and people who saw him greeted him.
"Village Chief, you returned unscathed this time too! Awesome!"
"Welcome back to the village, Village Chief!"
"I heard that they were cooperating with other settlements. What are the other settlements like? Village chief, you didn't even dig some people back. That's not good."
"My piglets suddenly stopped eating recently. Village chief, do you know what's going on?"
"Village Chief, our apples are ripe, so we can give you a basket..."
Zhang Chun was instantly surrounded by a group of people. He looked helpless and wanted to hide, but he responded honestly to every sentence.
It was not until a woman in simple clothes came over that everyone dispersed with smiles.
Zhang Chun stood up straight silently, his ears were a little red.
The young woman's name was Shu Xiumei. She noticed Zhang Chun's uncomfortable expression, but she didn't show any abnormality. She said gently, "You've worked hard all the way outside. Welcome back. Are you hurt?"
Zhang Chun shook his head, "No, it's safe."
"That's good."
Shu Xiumei's appearance was not outstanding, but probably because she already had a child, her temperament was as gentle as water and yet a bit calm. At this moment, her eyes seemed to contain starlight, making Zhang Chun's heart pound.
"By the way, I just saw a strange black-haired boy running into the village. Is he a guest, or a new partner, village chief?"
The call of "village chief" extinguished the anger in Zhang Chun's heart.
He sighed, "I found it on the street. I saw he was homeless, so I brought it back."
"Then where will he live? There is still a vacant space next to Lao Wang's house, but it's already past noon, and it may be too late to ask everyone to help build a house. How about letting him stay at someone's house for one night?"
Zhang Chun inexplicably felt like he was chatting with someone: "He lives with me, and he will live with me in the future too."
Shu Xiumei smiled and said, "It seems like you like that child very much. By the way, what's his name?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chun froze in place.
"Village chief?" Shu Xiumei's smile was a little confused.
Zhang Chun hesitated and looked around.
The smile on her face disappeared immediately, "You don't know what the child's name is, do you?"
Zhang Chun explained: "That kid didn't introduce himself!"
Shu Xiumei instantly remembered her own experience of raising a child. She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said, "Can't you ask? She's almost thirty years old! Wait, since you don't know what the child's name is, how do you call her?"
"... brat, brat, brat, brat."
Shu Xiumei frowned and said, "We've brought him back to the village and we don't even know his name. What do you think he will think?"
Zhang Chun was stunned.
"No matter how natural he appears to be, there must be something wrong inside, right? That child doesn't look that old, but his personality can be seen from his face. He looks carefree, cheerful and lively, but he's actually very sensitive!"
Zhang Chun pursed his lips. Although he intuitively felt that the kid was not a person with that kind of personality, he really ignored the fact that he was the one who forgot to ask his name along the way.
My eyes moved among the crowd and suddenly I caught a glimpse of a familiar head.
The black-haired boy was standing in the crowd, but he was a little shorter so he was blocked.
At this moment, the young man seemed to notice that Zhang Chun had seen him. His face turned pale and his body trembled weakly. Then he slowly walked forward, his voice trembling: "You, you didn't know my name all this time?"
Zhang Chun lowered his voice: "When I introduced myself, you didn't reply to me. What's your name?"
The black-haired boy had tears in his eyes. "I feel so bad, I am in so much pain, my heart is about to break like glass. For three days, you forgot to ask me my name for three whole days! Don't tell me that you will help me put my broken heart back together, because that is no longer the original intact me!"
After saying that, he covered his face and ran towards the village again. He accidentally bumped into an acquaintance who was watching the excitement in the convoy nearby, and apologized to the person with one eye.
Zhang Chun looked at the black-haired boy who disappeared into the village again, and said calmly to Shu Xiumei, who was full of astonishment, with a blank expression, "Not only is he not sad, he is having a lot of fun."
......
"Oh wow, this is the type that uncle likes?"
Chu Xiuyan hid behind the wall of a house near the village entrance, secretly observing Zhang Chun and the woman's interactions, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
【I'm back. 】
The system's voice suddenly sounded, [What are you doing? Why do you look like you're about to do something bad? ]
Chu Xiuyan: [Don't worry, I have my own plans. By the way, system, you have been offline for two chapters. Are you constipated and can't go to the toilet? ]
System: [Don't say anything that will break the dimension. Also, the system will not be constipated, it will only produce garbage data. I am just going to stabilize the space-time tunnel. As expected, the one-day buffer time can only allow us to barely pass.]
Chu Xiuyan: [You seem to have mentioned some new settings that I don’t know about. ]
System: [In short, the time to go back and forth between the two worlds is up to you, the minimum is one day, the maximum is three days. If it is less than one day, the space-time tunnel will become extremely chaotic and tear apart everything that enters. If it is more than three days, the space-time tunnel will become extremely stable and you will no longer be able to travel freely.]
Chu Xiuyan: [I am free! ]
[......] The system was speechless, [Speaking of which, why can you absorb and use the energy in the blood crystal? This ability has nothing to do with me, it comes from you. I just took a look, your current contamination value is 53%, which means that you are still an alien, but your appearance has completely changed back to human. How did you do this? Other aliens simply cannot do this. ]
Chu Xiuyan said naturally: [Because I am the protagonist, I can do things that ordinary people can't do. ]
【Don't joke with me.】
[Okay,] Chu Xiuyan thought for a moment, [but I'm not sure. It's just that after fusing with the blood crystal, I felt very warm, like the feeling of turning over and taking a nap in the bed with a timed electric blanket on in the winter without having to get up early.]
System: [Wait a minute, although I created this body using local materials, it can’t be entirely made of blood crystal energy, right?!]
Chu Xiuyan immediately said: [So the problem comes from you, the system! ]
System: [Impossible! It was normal when I tried it...]
"Hey, what are you looking at here?"
A sudden voice interrupted the system. Chu Xiuyan turned around and found a boy with rough hair and an impatient look.
"A new face, are you coming to the village today?"
The boy looked Chu Xiuyan up and down, with his hands in his pockets. Although his height was only up to his waist, he already looked like a little adult.
Chu Xiuyan nodded, "I was brought back by the leader."
"Leader...Zhang Chun?" The boy's expression suddenly became a little ugly, and he looked like he wanted to turn around and leave.
Chu Xiuyan held him back, "Do you hate the leader?"
"No, it's just..." The boy held his breath and suddenly glared at Chu Xiuyan, "This has nothing to do with you!"
Chu Xiuyan looked at the boy for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Why didn't you go to the village entrance to play? Were you isolated by the other kids?"
The boy pouted: "How is that possible? Those little brats are so annoying. I don't want to play with them."
"I see. So you are Shu Xiumei's son?"
The boy's hair suddenly puffed up like a hedgehog. He shook off Chu Xiuyan's hand, turned around and walked away quickly.
Chu Xiuyan reached out and grabbed the child back in front of him. Before the child was about to lose his temper, he quickly said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about them. Can you accompany me to get familiar with the village? I have social anxiety and don't dare to communicate with strangers."
"I won't do it. Find someone else."
Chu Xiuyan lowered his eyes, the smile on his face gradually faded, and it seemed that crystal tears fell on his eyelashes, shocking the boy so much that he stood still for a moment, not even daring to struggle.
"Hey! Don't cry, you are already so old, why are you still crying..."
"Why can't an older child cry? I don't know anyone else. When I think about having to face this strange village alone, I feel so bad. My heart is going to break like glass."
At this point, he seemed to realize that he couldn't affect others, so he forced a smile, but it looked sad no matter how you looked at it, "I'm sorry, just let me break like glass, it's okay."
"Ahhh, I get it! Hurry up and wipe your tears. I'll accompany you, glass man!"
Chu Xiuyan immediately smiled brightly, "You should have said that earlier, shorty."
The boy opened his eyes wide: "You lied to me? Who else is the shorty?"
He kicked Chu Xiuyan's calf viciously.
"Okay, okay, little man, don't do anything that goes against your promise. Otherwise, my glass man will be broken again..."
"Ah! How annoying! I get it! You bastard liar!"
The boy was so angry that he kept cursing all the way.
The system was surprised: [Why did you bring this child with you? ]
【Hmm? System, didn't you notice? This child is the son of the man's crush. He seems to feel like a burden and is somewhat resistant to the man, but he also wants his mother to start a family, so he doesn't want to embarrass both parties, so he doesn't gather at the entrance of the village like other children. It's obvious, just like what the boy's mother said, although he looks carefree, he is actually super sensitive and fragile inside, and he has to pretend that he doesn't care.】
Chu Xiuyan grabbed the boy's collar and lifted him up, watching him flopping in the air and laughing in a very evil way.
[So, next is the friendly exchange time between the big glass man and the small glass man. Well, of course, my big glass man is fake. ]
The black-haired boy pinched his chin and said thoughtfully: "No, to be precise, I should be a gem talent."
Blood crystals will grow on his body!
