Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Shen Xuan carefully went to the well to get…
Shen Xuan carefully went to the well to fetch a bucket of clean water, washed the dishes and put them away.
It's already late, but fortunately the Wang family always sleeps soundly, and the noise here can't wake them up.
Coincidentally, it has only been three days since he hit his head and traveled back.
If it was a few days later, and my body was still stupid and foolish, I'm afraid the man would be in great danger and would be left dead on the street.
Although he came from a different time, Shen Xuan is actually the original owner of this body.
To put it simply, Shen Xuan returned to his hometown with Nanny Wang when he was eight years old, fell into the water and traveled to the modern world. After growing up to be a college student in the modern world, he suddenly traveled back from there.
Shen Xuan, who had traveled back to the Dajin world, absorbed the memories of this body over the years. After he realized that he was stupid, the Wang family became even more aggressive and even drove him to live in the storage room in the backyard.
Although Shen Xuan was stupid, he could still take care of himself and work. The Wang family treated him like an ox or a horse, and ordered him to do rough and heavy work every day. Only after everything is done will we be given some porridge and leftovers.
Shen Xuan was tortured like this for ten years. Although he was a brother, he worked hard every day and was exposed to the wind and sun, so he became dark and thin. Even the mole on the forehead is very dark in color and can hardly be seen without careful observation.
You should know that the redder the mole on your forehead is, the easier it is to get pregnant. In the case of Chen Xuan, the pregnancy mole is almost invisible, and it is obvious that she has difficulty in giving birth.
That's why Xue Fenglin had misjudged him for a man just now.
However, when Shen Xuan traveled to the modern world, there was actually no gender called Ge'er.
He had been a man in that world for more than 20 years, so he didn't mind being recognized as a man by Xue Fenglin.
The hot water that Shen Xuan had saved before had been used up by Xue Fenglin. He found a place to wash himself briefly with cold water before returning to the house.
The bloody clothes that Xue Fenglin had changed out of had a fishy smell. Shen Xuan wrapped the clothes in straw and put them in a corner, preparing to bury them on the mountain tomorrow morning to avoid attracting wild animals.
It was only a few hours until dawn. Shen Xuan just noticed that Xue Fenglin was lying on the straw bed, looking at him with a pair of bright eyes, and he was not asleep yet.
Chen Xuan thought he couldn't sleep because of the pain from his wound, so he comforted him, "Just bear with it, I'll go to the mountain to pick some herbs tomorrow. They can detoxify and clear away heat, and they will also be better for your wound."
"Thank you." Xue Fenglin was silent for a long time before saying. Apart from expressing his gratitude, he didn't know what else to say.
“No need to be so polite.” Shen Xuan smiled when he heard that and suddenly took a step forward.
Xue Fenglin was startled by the sudden approach. He swallowed his saliva in panic and asked, "What are you doing?"
"What's wrong?" Shen Xuan was puzzled. Then he reached behind him, grabbed a few handfuls of straw from the bed and spread them on the ground, then looked at Xue Fenglin again.
"Nothing..." Xue Fenglin said hoarsely, "I...I met a thief on the road, and I'm still a little panicked."
"So that's it." Shen Xuan thought, isn't this just a psychological shadow?
As far as he could remember, there had been no bandits in Yunshui Village for more than ten years. This guy was so unlucky that he ran into him by such a coincidence.
He comforted Xue Fenglin with some sympathy, "Don't be afraid. Now that you are in the village, I think the bandits will not dare to come."
Then he blew out the oil lamp, lay down on the pile of straw and said, "Go to bed, it's getting late."
Xue Fenglin looked at the small straw bed beneath him, then looked at Shen Xuan on the ground. Since he occupied the bed, Shen Xuan would have to sleep on the floor.
Thinking about how he had been on guard just now, Xue Fenglin suddenly felt very annoyed and felt like a piece of shit.
After a while, Shen Xuan, who had been tired all day, fell into a deep sleep, breathing evenly.
The moonlight poured in from the window and fell on the head of the bed. Although the light was dim, it was enough for people to see Shen Xuan's face clearly.
He has a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a long, sharp face. Although my eyes are closed at the moment, they were still quite big when I saw them just now.
Under the moonlight, Shen Xuan’s entire face looked very clean. If he were a man, he would be very handsome. But as a brother, Chen Xuan really didn't act like a brother, and it was no wonder that Xue Fenglin mistook him for a man just now.
Xue Fenglin's gaze slowly moved down from Shen Xuan's face to his hands.
Shen Xuan's hands were considered big among the guys, with long fingers and neatly trimmed nails. There is a thin layer of calluses on each fingertip of the palm, which shows that the hands are often used for work.
Xue Fenglin felt a pang in his heart, and for some reason he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Shen Xuan seems to be having a hard time. Looking at his appearance, I wonder what kind of life he lived before?
When Shen Xuan woke up again, he found that the bed sheet was covered on him by the man.
He stood up with some surprise and covered the man again with the sheet. I don't know when the other person fell asleep, and he is sleeping soundly now. I guess he won't wake up for a while.
Seeing that the man's body was still badly swollen, Shen Xuan remembered that he had to collect herbs for him today.
He held the blood-stained clothes that he had wrapped himself last night in his arms, took the hoe and put it in the backpack, bolted the door, and quietly slipped out through the back door.
It is still early in the morning and many people in the village have just woken up.
Chen Xuan didn't meet anyone on the way up the mountain. He found a secluded place to bury the bloody clothes, and then went to the mountain to dig herbs for clearing heat and detoxifying.
There are many wild grasses on the mountain, such as lobelia or wild chrysanthemum, which have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. Villagers would also dig the trees and boil them to drink when they were injured or sick.
Shen Xuan dug whatever he saw along the way, and soon he had dug a pile. Only after seeing other people gradually appearing on the mountain did he walk down the mountain.
On the way he met two neighbors who were carrying bamboo baskets. It’s Brother Zhong from next door and his sister.
Brother Zhong and his friends came up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, and they were a little nervous when they saw Shen Xuan. After all, the bamboos on the mountain only produce shoots at night, so people come up to dig them up in the early morning. If you come too late, all the shoots will have been dug up.
"Chen Ge'er, how many bamboo shoots did you dig?" Zhong Ge'er's sister Zhong Xiaomei asked as she ran over to rummage through Chen Xuan's backpack.
She opened the white cloth on the backpack and saw that it was full of a mess of wild flowers and weeds, without a single bamboo shoot.
When Xiaomei Zhong saw this, she covered her mouth and laughed, and said to Brother Zhong: "Look at him, he's so stupid, he dug up a bunch of messes."
Shen Xuan did not say anything, but just silently covered the white cloth again. Zhong Ge'er then took Zhong Xiaomei's hand and said, "Don't worry about this idiot, let's go dig bamboo shoots."
After they walked away, Shen Xuan silently took out the two fat sweet potatoes hidden in his arms, looked at them and hid them back in his arms. These were the ones he had just dug up on the way.
These villagers bullied him for being stupid and used to steal things from him.
Ever since Shen Xuan woke up, he always tried to hide his things somewhere else to prevent them from snatching them away.
Shen Xuan quietly slipped into the house through the back door, first hid the sweet potatoes in his arms in the straw pile, then washed the straw, and took out a broken pot to fry them.
After he finished all this, he went to the big kitchen, found a corner and started chopping wood.
After chopping for a while, some people in the main courtyard of the Shen family started to get up and move around. The Wang family's daughters-in-law went to the kitchen one after another and started cooking.
Seeing Shen Xuan chopping wood obediently in the corner, the Wang family wives yawned very naturally and sat aside to chat and wait.
"Why did Chen Xuan get up so late today? He hasn't finished chopping the firewood yet." Li, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family, complained.
"Who knew that this guy has been getting up so late these days. He is getting more and more lazy." Luo, the second daughter-in-law of the Wang family, also said.
After Shen Xuan woke up, he would take some time every morning to secretly do his own things. In their eyes, Shen Xuan got up late and seemed to have learned to be lazy.
Shen Xuan didn't say anything. After chopping the firewood, he lit the stove.
Only then did Mrs. Li and Mrs. Luo take out the rice and flour locked in the cupboard and started to cook breakfast.
After a pot of steamed buns is finished and a pot of multi-grain porridge is cooked, the fragrance wafts out from the kitchen.
The Wang family's husband and mother-in-law, Nanny Wang, came slowly, accompanied by their unmarried brother, Wang Xiaolian.
If Xue Fenglin was present at this moment, he would definitely recognize at a glance that Wang Xiaolian, who was painting her eyebrows and eyes, was the guy he mistook for Shen Xuan that day.
"Mom, I want to eat eggs." Wang Xiaolian took a look at the white steamed buns and multi-grain porridge in the pot and said with some disgust.
"There are not many eggs left at home. We'll have to wait a few days before eating them." Nanny Wang glared at Wang Xiaolian and said, "Now you're complaining about everything at home. What will you do if you get married?"
"Tsk, then marry a rich man and live a comfortable life." Wang Xiaolian said with a pout.
Hearing his words, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Luo, who were standing by and serving their husbands, rolled their eyes.
It was already difficult for young men to marry in the Jin Dynasty, but which family with better financial conditions didn't want to marry a woman who was good at giving birth?
My brother-in-law is so greedy and lazy. He has been raised at home until he is 18 years old and no one wants him. He even wants to marry a rich man. He shouldn't even take a piss and look at himself.
Wang Xiaolian was spoiled at home, so how could she know what her sister-in-law was thinking?
He grabbed a steamed bun, sat down, glanced at Chen Xuan next to him and said, "What are you still doing here? It makes me annoyed, why don't you get out now!"
Shen Xuan lowered his head and walked out, wishing to stay away from this group of Wang family members.
He hadn't had time to eat breakfast today, but it didn't matter, he could make it himself now.
Shen Xuan first went to the corner of the backyard and poured the boiled medicine into a bowl, then washed two sweet potatoes and buried them in the hot wood ash.
When he opened the door with the medicine bowl in hand, Shen Xuan discovered that the man he had saved last night had woken up.
"You're awake, come and take the medicine first." Shen Xuan took the medicine bowl and placed it beside the bed, and reminded him to be careful of the heat.
The man was silent for a while, and after looking at Shen Xuan for a long time, he asked, “Did they…all bully you?”
