Chapter 58 Chapter 58 The injured little wild child
Qin An is still young, but when a beast is horny, does he care about your age?
On the contrary, because they are young, their resistance is limited and they are easier to subdue. Some beasts may even find it more exciting.
Xu Yunfan's face turned pale when he thought of this. He quickly closed the gate and ran out. "Run'er, wait for me. I'm going too."
Qin Run was also anxious and was running very fast. When he heard Xu Yunfan calling him, he slowed down a little.
Although Qin An would go out alone before, he would never stay out so late.
Qin Run is usually busy, thinking all day about how to work, how to make money, and how to spend the winter. Naturally, there are some things that he has not thought carefully enough.
Qin Run was terrified that Qin An would encounter something bad, and his life would be over.
Qin Run waited for Xu Yunfan because he was worried. He didn't even bother to say a word to him along the way. He quickened his pace and ran towards Nanshan.
Xu Yunfan followed Qin Run grunting, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the weeds on the side of the road.
Qin Run was a brave man, and was only thinking about whether Qin An would get into trouble, so naturally he didn't hear the sound.
Although Xu Yunfan was also worried about Qin An, it was dark and they were going to Nanshan, so he was also very scared. Any slight movement around him would disturb him.
Not to mention the rustling noise was so loud that Xu Yunfan stopped immediately, his legs trembling a little, and his voice broke, "Run'er, there's... there's a ghost!"
Xu Yunfan screamed in shock, and with strength from nowhere, he suddenly ran behind Qin Run. His body reacted faster than his brain, and he subconsciously lowered his head, hiding behind Qin Run in a very unmanly manner.
Qin Run wanted to find Qin An, but when he heard Xu Yunfan shouting that there was a ghost, he was startled and stopped.
As soon as he stopped, he finally heard a rustling sound. Even though Qin Run was a little scared, his mind was full of thoughts about protecting Xu Yunfan. He couldn't be timid. When he was about to go over with courage, a familiar voice came, "Brother?"
Because they were walking in the weeds, Qin An's ears were filled with noise, so he naturally couldn't hear the sound of someone running on the road. It wasn't until Xu Yunfan screamed that he heard it clearly. He thought he was hallucinating because of fear, and couldn't help but call out again, "Brother, is that you?"
"Brother An!" As soon as Qin Run heard Qin An's voice, all his fear and terror disappeared. He took two steps at a time and stepped forward to pull Qin An out from the bushes.
Qin Run was really scared tonight. He was very angry, "You..."
He was just about to scold Qin An for what he was doing, asking why he hadn't gone back after dark. Did he know that it was very dangerous for a young man to be outside the village so late at night?
Not to mention how dangerous the wild beasts in the mountains are, whether they will eat or hurt people, what should Qin An do even if another man with bad intentions meets him?
As the words of scolding were about to come out of his mouth, Qin Run smelled a scent of blood from Qin An, and even the clothes he was holding felt a little wet.
Looking at Qin An's trembling little body and his choked sobs, Qin Run felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss for a moment.
Xu Yunfan felt something was wrong and hurried forward, "What's wrong?"
Qin Run grabbed Qin An's hand with some force. If it wasn't late at night, Qin An would have seen Qin Run's eyes, which were as red as if they were tempered with blood. His voice was trembling, even with a sobbing tone, and his words were intermittent and incoherent. "Brother An... tell me, have you... been bullied?"
When Xu Yunfan heard what Qin Run said, he was furious. A surge of anger rushed to his head. Damn it, his brother-in-law was actually bullied?
Bullying his brother-in-law is bullying him. When has Young Master Xu ever been bullied?
"Ang'er, who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll beat him to death for you, until he can't take care of himself." Damn it, what a beast, this kind of person should be beaten until he shits.
Just when Qin Run and Xu Yunfan saw Qin An's fear and preconceived that he was being bullied, Qin An finally cried out when he saw his family, "No, brother, my friend is injured. He's bleeding so much. I can't carry him. What should I do?"
Qin An was very scared. Although he was young, he had heard that his father had disappeared in the mountains and there was a lot of blood on the ground.
So, he thought that his good friend Xiao Yewa had lost so much blood and would disappear in the future. Therefore, he did not dare to leave, even when it was dark. He knew that if he did not go back, his elder brother and brother-in-law would be worried, so he did not dare to leave.
What should the little wild kid do after he leaves? It’s obvious that the little wild kid is holding onto his clothes tightly, not wanting him to leave.
Qin An was scared and anxious, and he really didn't know what to do. When he heard the howling of wolves coming from the distant mountains and saw the blood under the little wild boy, he was even more frightened.
He had heard from Hunter Fang that wolves were wild beasts with very sensitive noses. They could smell injured animals in the mountains from a long distance away, and then they would chase after the injured animals and eat them.
There was no other way, Qin An could only hide the little wild kid with branches and go down the mountain alone in the dark to find help.
He was scared and worried about the people along the way and was about to cry, but he held it back and just wanted to run back as quickly as possible to find someone to help.
Now that I see my elder brother and my brother-in-law, and know that people I can rely on and trust have come, all my anxieties and fears will burst out.
Qin An cried while pulling Xu Yunfan up the mountain.
From Qin An's intermittent words, Xu Yunfan and the others finally realized that Qin An was not bullied, and they just breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing that his friend was injured and bleeding and didn't move no matter how they shouted, the two of them became nervous again and couldn't help but speed up their pace. Qin Run even carried Qin An on his back and asked him to show the way from behind.
When he arrived at the place Qin An mentioned, Xu Yunfan found that this was just the foot of the mountain, a little far from the road. If he really went up the mountain, it would be dark in the middle of the night, even if there were many stars in the night sky, it would still be pitch black in the woods. It would be a blessing if he didn't fall, let alone look for someone.
Xu Yunfan pulled away the branches that Qin An used to cover people and found that there was actually a child underneath.
This child is the one the villagers call Little Wild Boy.
Saving lives was the most important thing. Xu Yunfan didn’t think too much about it. He just picked the person up and hurried home with Qin Run.
Even when they returned home breathlessly, Xu Yunfan and Qin Run didn't have time to rest and checked the little wild kid first.
On the way back, Xu Yunfan smelled blood, so he asked Qin Run to turn and go to Fang the hunter's house to ask for some hemostatic herbs.
Hunter Fang often goes up the mountain, so he probably has enough of these things at home.
When Xu Yunfan arrived home, Qin Run came back panting with a bag of hemostatic herbs in his hand.
The two of them were busy. Qin Run had to boil water for Xu Yunfan to clean his wound, and he also had to distract himself to take care of Qin An.
They originally thought that because Qin An was crying like that and said that the little wild boy couldn't shout anymore, they also thought that the little wild boy was seriously injured. As a result, they found that there was a long cut on the little wild boy's arm by something unknown, and the blood stains on Qin An's body were caused by the blood of the little wild boy.
Xu Yunfan was worried, so he took off all the clothes on the little wild kid. Because he was concentrating on checking whether the little wild kid had any external injuries, he didn't notice that Qin Run was not right.
When Xu Yunfan came back with the little wild baby in his arms, he felt that the child was very light and skinny. Now that he had stripped the child naked, Xu Yunfan realized what it meant to be so thin that he was unrecognizable.
The White Bone Demon is probably like him.
"Apart from the wound on his arm, this child has some old injuries that have almost healed and are not a big deal." When Xu Yunfan was thrown into the army for training by his grandfather, he participated in field training and naturally knew how to deal with some emergency injuries.
He also instructed Qin Run and Qin An to pay attention to whether the little wild boy would have a fever tonight, and to call him immediately if he did.
It was too troublesome to go to town to find a doctor that night. Xu Yunfan looked at the little wild boy's injuries and felt that he could handle it, so he didn't go.
Qin Run didn't understand these things. Seeing that the little wild boy didn't wake up, he couldn't help but worry, "Then why did he faint?"
Xu Yunfan patted the back of Qin Run's hand. "Don't worry. I guess he fainted. Look how thin he is, almost like a monkey. He lost so much blood. It would be strange if he didn't faint. He's a child in the mountains, hungry and full. It's good enough. I don't know which parents are so cruel to abandon their child. Don't you people here value your sons very much? How can you still abandon your son?"
Don't abandon the child. How can a child go up the mountain to be a monkey by himself?
Qin Run: "He's not a little man."
"If you're not a man, then what is you?" Xu Yunfan hadn't even had dinner. He was tired, hungry, and frightened tonight, so it was obvious that his IQ was not up to par.
Qin Run pointed to a red mole on the side of the little wild boy's neck and showed it to Xu Yunfan: "He is a brother."
"Ah?" Xu Yunfan wiped his face, "No wonder."
In ancient times, people valued having many children and being blessed. Naturally, it was not uncommon to favor sons over daughters and boys.
Qin An looked at his little friend with tears in his eyes. He knew too well what it felt like to be hungry. If his little friend went back to the mountain, wouldn't he be hungry again?
He wanted to keep his friends, but he didn't dare say these words. He was not stupid and naturally knew that their family conditions were not good. They had been hungry before Gefu came.
If there is one more child, the family will be poorer, Qin An thought, feeling very distressed. He thought that if his friend could stay, he would be willing to eat one less bowl of rice every day and give that bowl of rice to his friend. But he couldn't say these words, because he was afraid that his brother-in-law would be angry if he heard it, and be angry at him for being ignorant.
Qin An, who was extremely sad, held the little wild boy's hand tightly and sobbed secretly.
Xu Yunfan noticed that something was wrong with Qin An, and after thinking about it, he probably knew why he was crying.
At Qin An's age, he is the kindest. He even likes little chicks. He feeds them three times a day for fear that they will be hungry. What's more, the one who is injured is his friend.
Qin An must like this little wild kid very much, otherwise he wouldn't have overcome his fear and stayed outside alone for so long because of his little friend.
Xu Yunfan sighed and pulled Qin Run out of the room. "What should we do with this child?"
Qin Run was in a dilemma. He was kind-hearted, but he would not let the person he loved suffer.
Given the conditions of Xiao Qin's family, he simply cannot afford to have two children. If he asks for the children to stay, won't the heavy responsibility still fall on Xu Yunfan?
Why is it that he is the good guy, but Xu Yunfan is the one carrying the burden for him?
Qin Run was reluctant to let Xu Yunfan get tired, but his ability was limited, so he could only be cruel and said, "When his injury is healed, let's send him to the government office."
Xu Yunfan didn't say anything. If the government office was effective, this child wouldn't have to be a savage in the mountains.
However, whether this child can stay depends on his performance.
If he was someone with bad character and personality problems, no matter how pitiful he was, even if he starved to death, it would have nothing to do with Xu Yunfan.
Some people are born bad and don't need to learn from anyone, nor do they need bad people to teach them by words and deeds. That kind of badness is in their bones. Xu Yunfan doesn't know what kind of person Xiao Yewa is, but just because he helped Qin An so much, Xu Yunfan gave him this opportunity to perform.
Xu Yunfan: "I'll listen to you. Let's talk after he wakes up. Call An Ge'er out and let him take a bath. Let's have dinner first. I'm hungry."
After dinner, Qin Run delivered popsicles to Aunt Qin's two families. Xu Yunfan was busy with his own things, so the task of taking care of the little wild child had to be left to Qin Run and his brother.
Because he was too worried about the little wild boy, Qin An had no appetite to taste the first batch of bread when Xu Yunfan came out of the oven.
Xu Yunfan tapped Qin An's eyebrows and asked, "Brother An, how did you and your friend meet?"
Qin An looked up at Xu Yunfan and sniffed, "When I was being bullied before, he saw it and ran down the mountain to help me."
Qin Run is ugly, but in the eyes of the villagers, he is more manly than Han Zi. Some children have heard a lot from adults and can't help but wonder whether Qin Run is really a boy.
However, they were small and could not beat Qin Run, so they naturally could not ask such questions in front of him.
Qin An was thin and small, so for them, he was naturally the most suitable target for bullying.
So several little bullies in the village specifically blocked Qin An when he went out to look for pig grass, and mocked him for being like his brother in the future, neither a man nor a brother. His beloved elder brother was scolded, and Qin An was very angry. He pushed the little man who tried to grab his clothes, but he used too much force and pushed the man to the ground.
The young man felt that he had been pushed down by Qin An and lost face in front of his friends. He stood up and pounced on Qin An, pushing him to the ground and straddling him. "You won't let me pull your clothes off, will you? You dare to push me, don't you? Today I will strip you naked and make you bark like a dog."
Qin An, who was suppressed and unable to move, whimpered and struggled. The little man called other friends to hold Qin An's legs to prevent him from kicking others. He then reached out to tear off Qin An's clothes.
Just when Qin An was crying, the little wild boy probably heard their noise. After discovering that Qin An was being bullied, the little wild boy grabbed a thorny branch and ran out whimpering like a madman, and hit the little men with the branch, scaring them so much that they screamed and ran back in fear without caring about Qin An.
After the people ran away, the little wild boy threw away the thorny branch in his hand, helped Qin An up from the ground, and pulled up his loose clothes.
When Qin An wiped his tears and looked at him, the little wild boy seemed scared again, turned around and ran towards the mountain.
Qin An lowered his head and shed tears silently. He thought that the other party ran away because he was disliked by others.
Later, Qin An went there to cut grass for pigs several times, and he saw the little wild boy every time. The little wild boy seemed to be worried that Qin An would be bullied again. Whenever Qin An came, he would always follow him from a distance to prevent others from bullying him.
Over time, Qin An fell in love with the little wild boy. After staying in the mountains for a long time, the young little wild boy could no longer speak many words and could only make sounds and gestures with his hands to express his ideas. Coincidentally, Qin An was also a "mute" who "treasured words like gold". After a few interactions, the two of them felt that they had met too late and cherished each other.
Qin An said that every time he went out to cut grass for pigs and look for earthworms, the reason he could come back so quickly was because of the help of Xiao Yewa. Qin An had brought candy to Xiao Yewa before and told him that the candy was made by Xu Yunfan. Xiao Yewa then learned from Qin An that Xu Yunfan liked to eat fruits and meat, so he took note of it.
The little wild boy is still too young. The fact that he can live in the mountains for so long does not mean that he has the same hunting skills as the hunters, but that he can endure hardships. No matter what kind of fruit it is, whether it is ripe or unripe, he will stuff as much as possible into his mouth. He knows that he may be full today, but not tomorrow, so when there is food, he will try to eat as much as possible.
After living in the mountains for a long time, the little wild boy naturally knew where there were more wild fruits.
He is a child who knows how to repay favors. After eating the sweets given by Xu Yunfan, the little wild boy went looking for wild fruits all over the mountain. When he found a wild grape plant, he was very happy. Even though the wild grape plant was very high, he still climbed up.
I thought that I would be scratched by some branches this time so that I could pick the wild grapes and take them back to Qin An, but the little wild boy was too young after all and didn't know that I shouldn't step on dry branches. As a result, I fell from the tree, and not only did my legs hurt, but my arm was also cut with a big gash.
The little wild boy was grimacing in pain and sweating profusely, but when he saw that he had picked a few bunches of wild grapes, he laughed heartily again.
It was just an injury. The little wild boy was used to it and thought that this wound was the same as the previous small wounds. He wrapped it with some leaves and the bleeding would stop after a while.
When he took the wild grapes to the place where he often met Qin An, the little wild boy was already sweating all over. The pain in his arm was unbearable and he felt dizzy. He wanted to do something, but he found that he had no strength and could only lie on the ground and wait for Qin An to come over.
When he saw Qin An, the little wild boy suddenly gathered up his strength and gestured to Qin An to bring the wild grapes back for Xu Yunfan to eat. As he gestured, blood dripped from his arm, and the clothes on the chest of the little wild boy were stained. Qin An turned pale with fright.
Xu Yunfan hadn't expected that the little wild kid's injury was actually due to him. He felt soft-hearted, "I see. Your friend's injuries are serious and he can't move. I'll trouble An Ge'er to take care of him for the next few days. How is it going? Can this mission be completed?"
Did Goff agree to let the little wild boy stay and recuperate?
Qin An's eyes lit up, he straightened his chest, and looked serious, as if he was standing at attention. "Yes."
Xu Yunfan smiled and patted his head. "Don't be sad. Brother Ge is here. Your friend will be fine. Go get some popsicles. If you don't eat them tonight, you won't be able to eat them tomorrow."
Qin An was so happy that he stamped his feet and pulled down Xu Yunfan's arm without asking for his permission. When Xu Yunfan leaned down in confusion, he kissed him on the face and said with a smile, "Brother Fu is the best. Brother Fu is the best brother Fu in the world. Brother An likes Brother Fu the most."
After saying that, he ran into the woodshed to get a popsicle.
Xu Yunfan touched the face that Qin An had kissed. Coming from modern society, he didn't think too much about it. What was wrong with being kissed by an eight-year-old kid?
After touching his face, Xu Yunfan looked up and suddenly saw Qin Run standing at the kitchen door. After watching for an unknown amount of time, Xu Yunfan suddenly laughed with a smug look on his face. "Anger kissed me and said I was the best brother-in-law in the world. He likes me the most as his brother-in-law."
Qin Run was amused by Xu Yunfan's boasting like a child.
If it were someone else, they would probably scold Qin An and say that he had no sense of propriety. At the age of eight, how could he just kiss a man casually, not to mention that this man was his brother-in-law.
But Xu Yunfan told him that the children in his area, even eight-year-olds, still need kisses from their parents as a reward. Xu Yunfan also said that when he was a child, none of his family members didn't like to kiss him. This was an expression of their love for him, not the kind of taking advantage with selfish desires.
Even if Xu Yunfan hadn't said these words, Qin Run wouldn't think too much about it. His brother-in-law and his brother-in-law have a good relationship, and he's so happy that he wouldn't have time to think too much about it.
Qin Run looked at the complacent Xu Yunfan, knowing what he was waiting for, and went along with him. "Well, An Ge'er is right. You are the best person in the world. It is my great honor to meet you."
Xu Yunfan was satisfied, and took the opportunity to seek benefits for his future self. "It's good that you know it. Then you must treat me well in the future. You can't abuse me at home, or use cold violence against me when you are angry. You can't punish me by making me sleep in the hall, and you can't kick me out of bed..."
Qin Run listened quietly. "Are you done? I can do everything you said. I will love and care for you forever. So, will you always be by my side?"
An eighteen-year-old boy is not young in that era. If other boys at his age got married quickly, they would probably have two children. However, no one was interested in Qin Run.
Just because he can’t get married doesn’t mean he knows nothing.
He heard a lot when he went to town looking for work.
For example, if a man has some money, he likes to run to Chunxiang's arms all day long.
I also heard that there was a man who disliked his wife because she was old and ugly, and was dazzled by the young girls and boys outside. He brought them into his home one by one, and finally favored his concubine over his wife.
In short, he had heard countless stories from those ladies about men changing their minds and being unfaithful.
Xu Yunfan is so good-looking and knows so many things. If he wants, Dali Village cannot keep him. He can leave at any time. Or if he wants, he can just beckon with his fingers and countless people will rush to him and throw themselves into his arms.
People are greedy. Once they get what they want, they will want more.
Qin Run is also an ordinary person. He has possessiveness and wants to monopolize Xu Yunfan. He is even more afraid that one day Xu Yunfan will meet someone better and abandon him, and will not even want to look at him again.
Xu Yunfan fetched water to prepare for a bath, and without turning his head, he said, "What else? What kind of questions are you asking?"
His tone was full of matter-of-factness, as if leaving Qin Run had never occurred to him, not even to him. "I've already agreed to stay and be your husband. In our language, from now on, I'm your husband. Others can divorce or get a divorce, that's their business, I have no say in it. But we don't have this tradition in our Xu family. Unless one day you cheat on me or do something really outrageous, we'll still be classmates a hundred years from now."
Qin Run's eyes were red. He didn't want to show an unpleasant expression in front of Xu Yunfan. He turned his head to look at the bread that Xu Yunfan had hung out to dry on the side and asked knowingly, "Are you going to sell these breads tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Xu Yunfan carried the water into the bathroom. "I'll buy two old hens when the time comes. That kid is so skinny that you can only see the skin and no flesh. You and An Ge'er also need some nourishment."
Qin Run took a deep breath, his voice low and hoarse, "Yun Fan, how can you be so nice?"
If it were any other man, no matter how much he loved the little wild boy, they probably wouldn't be willing to spend money on him.
