Chapter 2 Chapter 2 This isn't a goblin, it's clearly...
When Qin's father left, the two young brothers were left alone with their elderly grandmother.
Even though Qin's father's body was gone, Qin Run still held a funeral for him. In addition to the money Qin An paid for seeing a doctor, the Qin family sold several acres of land.
When Qin's father passed away, Qin Run was only eleven years old. At such a young age, he shouldered the burden of the family. He had an elderly grandmother who had cried herself blind and a younger brother who had been burned and became stupid. The family's livelihood depended on him.
It is said that when Qin's father was on his way back to Dali Village with his family, Qin Run had lost his memory of the previous ten years for some reason and could not do any work. Later, because his family was poor, he learned little by little and now he has become the burden of the family.
It is conceivable that Qin Run has not had a good life in recent years, because he has to work a lot and the heavy work in the fields is supposed to be done by men, but apart from one old man and two young children, where can he find any men in his family?
If we don’t farm, what will our family eat?
Qin Run was tired from work and easily hungry. When he was hungry, he was naturally not picky about food. Even if he was eating wild vegetable porridge, he would eat two more bowls than others.
He knew that as a boy, he shouldn't eat so much, but if he didn't eat, he would be hungry in the middle of the night, so hungry that he couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Even if he fell asleep out of tiredness at first, he would eventually wake up hungry.
After a few days like this, how could Qin Run still have the strength to get out of bed?
For the sake of the harvest from the fields and to support his family, Qin Run no longer restricted himself and ate as much as he could when there was something to eat.
Because he was afraid of being hungry, during the slack season, he and other uncles would go to the town to find work. Sometimes, it was hard to find work, but he didn't ask for money. He just wanted the employer to provide him with a meal and keep him full.
Logically speaking, Qin Run did hard labor and didn't eat well, so he shouldn't be so strong. But it seemed like God was playing a joke on him. Not only did he look good, he was also very strong, even stronger than a scholar.
Such a figure obviously does not conform to Dayan Dynasty's aesthetic standards for men.
For this reason, Qin Run was eighteen years old and no matchmaker came to his house. The people from the Li and Sun families in the village were laughing at the Qin family.
In his early years, Qin's father was famous for his handsome appearance, and was known as the handsome man in the six villages within ten miles. Xu Yunfan was even more handsome than him, and was a rare little fairy boy in the six villages within ten miles, two more villages than Qin's father.
When he returned to the village, Qin's father had an aura that was not found in other men in the village. No matter how you looked at him, he did not look like an ordinary man. To use the description of the villagers, Qin's father did not look like a villager, but more like a county magistrate, with an official aura around him that was intimidating.
For this reason, the villagers were afraid of him. Later, when Qin's father passed away, they felt deeply ashamed and lost face when they thought about it, so they wanted to get back at Qin's two brothers.
They felt that the frustration they had in bowing and scraping in front of Qin's father before could now be vented on Qin Run. Every time they mocked him, they felt much more relaxed and had more energy to work.
Two years ago, there were thieves in the village. Because Qin Run's family had no men, even though the family was poor, the thieves specifically targeted their family.
That night, Grandma Qin was old and had a light sleep. She heard rustling noises in the middle of the night and got up to find that the house had been robbed. Qin Run was tired from work and had fallen into a deep sleep. When he was awakened by Qin An's screams, Grandma Qin was bleeding from her forehead and had fallen to the ground, unable to get up.
When Grandma Qin passed away, she told Qin Run that without a man to support the family, the two brothers, no matter how strong they were, would not be safe.
Later, Xiao Qin's family was robbed several times, and Qin Run realized that what Grandma Qin said was not without reason.
He originally thought that because he was so strong, the thieves would not dare to do anything wrong, but unexpectedly, not only did they dare to do so, they also often visited their house.
The house was broken into several times, often in the middle of the night, and all kinds of rumors began to spread in the village.
There are all kinds of opinions.
No matter how ugly a boy is, he's still a boy. Once you're covered in the dark, who can tell if you're ugly or not? As long as you're a boy, that's all.
The boy from Xiao Qin's family might have already become a worn-out shoe.
In ancient times, when faced with rumors, you didn't have to be indifferent or take it to heart, but you could still avoid being hurt by believing that you were upright and had nothing to fear.
Some old bachelors in the village and some old bachelors in neighboring villages heard these rumors, and whenever they saw Qin Run, their eyes would be too hot.
When Qin Run went up the mountain to chop firewood, an old man in his fifties deliberately stopped him halfway and said, "Brother Run, I have a few kilograms of brown rice here. There is a cornfield over there in the back mountain. Do you want to go there?"
There are many such incidents. Qin Run beat people several times. He was obviously not wrong, but because he did not know how hard to hit, he had to pay compensation several times.
Because this kind of thing happened so often, even though the villagers knew that Qin Run had never taken anything given by the old bachelors and he had never agreed to their requests, those who looked down on him and had ill intentions towards him still slandered him.
Qin Run was miserable. She saved money with great difficulty, hoping to buy a man to take home. Even if she didn't think about herself, she had to think about Qin An. With a man around, who would dare to bully their family and spread rumors about him?
However, the people sold at the pawnshop in the town were not cheap, so Qin Run went there many times. On several occasions, the men locked in the cages looked greedy when they heard his words, and excitedly offered themselves for his bed.
With much experience, Qin Run has his own way of judging people. These people clearly want him to buy them. Once the two of them really become successful, it will be just around the corner for them to take charge. By then, as a brother, Qin Run will have to listen to his husband obediently.
Qin Run never met someone he was satisfied with until he went up the mountain to chop wood. Because he didn't want to be harassed at the foot of the mountain, Qin Run would go deeper into the mountain every time he chopped wood. That day, when he was chopping wood vigorously, he vaguely heard a faint, real and illusory cry for help.
"Help... Is there anyone here?"
“Help!”
Qin Run wasn't sure if someone was really shouting for help. Every time he stopped and listened carefully, he heard nothing.
When he continued to chop, the weak voice that was almost ethereal came again, "Help..."
It was so sudden in the deep mountains that it felt like there was a ghost.
After several times, Qin Run simply stopped moving and listened quietly.
He originally thought he had encountered a ghost in broad daylight, but when Qin Run mustered up the courage to look in the direction of the sound, he found that he had not encountered a ghost, but had seen a little fairy boy.
At that time, Xu Yunfan was sitting weakly in a deep pit. His handsome face and eyes full of hope when he saw someone coming were deeply imprinted in Qin Run's heart.
The little man in the trap was so handsome that Qin Run was in a trance for a moment, wondering if he was hallucinating or seeing things.
Is this really a little man and not a goblin incarnated from some wild monster?
However, compared to a wild monster, Qin Run prefers to think that this person is just a little fairy boy.
Qin Run looked at the handsome boy in a daze. He was such a handsome guy, perhaps the word "handsome" was not accurate enough.
The handsome boy is not only good-looking, but also has an extraordinary temperament. Even though there is some mud and fallen leaves on his body, he still looks as elegant as ever.
Qin Run vaguely felt that in the memory he had lost, he had seen very outstanding people before, but they were not as good-looking as the handsome boy who was looking up at him.
This person has an extraordinary temperament, a noble temperament that comes naturally from the inside out, and is a unique attraction that is different from others.
At that moment, it seemed as if a voice was telling Qin Run, it was him, it was him, he was the husband you had been waiting for for so long.
Qin Run widened his eyes. A few days ago, he had thought, how great it would be if God could arrange a husband for him that suits his taste!
It was obvious that he had lived such a hard life. If he had committed some unforgivable crime in his previous life, he would have lost his mother in childhood, his father died in the belly of an animal, and his grandmother died at the hands of thieves. At the age of only eighteen, he had experienced all kinds of life, the ups and downs, the sorrows and joys.
Isn’t the suffering he has endured over the years enough to pay for his sins?
As the saying goes, after suffering comes happiness. When will his happiness come?
Qin Run thought, he didn't want to be rich, famous, or wealthy, he didn't want anything else but a husband.
What a coincidence, my husband was sent here by God today.
So, God must have heard his prayers.
Qin Run identified the person and without thinking or asking, he jumped down and carried Xu Yunfan on his back.
This is why Qin Run was so determined to get Xu Yunfan back.
On the one hand, it was the husband sent by God, and on the other hand, his family really needed a man to support the family.
Xu Yunfan didn't know where Qin Run's stubbornness towards him came from, and at the moment, he was very distressed.
Judging from Qin Run's stubbornness, since he has chased me here from home, he probably won't give up until he sees me.
Xu Yunfan never thought of staying and becoming Qin Run's husband.
Even though Qin Run is very handsome and stylish, as a man, he admires and likes Qin Run's appearance and figure.
However, this liking is just a liking for beautiful things, not the kind of liking between men and women.
He had rejected Qin Run many times in the past few days, but every time he talked about this, Qin Run deliberately avoided the topic and changed it.
Xu Yunfan was very distressed about this. He knew that he was good-looking, otherwise, the women who pursued him would not have lined up from the east to the south of the city.
Unable to communicate with Qin Run, Xu Yunfan was so scared that his leg injury had not yet healed that he became ungrateful. While Qin Run was working in the fields, he tricked Qin An into going out to find some wild fruits for him, and then ran away.
Xu Yunfan listened to Qin Run's heart-wrenching cries of his name, and thought of Qin Run's cautiousness and flattery towards him in the past few days. He felt inexplicably distressed, inexplicably guilty, and a guilt that could not be ignored.
Many emotions such as confusion, helplessness, and homesickness brought about by traveling to a strange place came flooding out.
"Stop shouting." Xu Yunfan held his head in his hands and murmured, "Stop shouting. If I don't leave, what else can I do? Should I stay and be your husband?"
Is this appropriate?
Obviously, it was not suitable, so he ran away!
"Is it not possible?"
The sudden response startled Xu Yunfan. He looked up, his mouth wide open, and said foolishly, "Huh?"
Qin Run in front of him was sweating profusely, his chest heaving violently, not because of anger, but because of fatigue.
From the sound just now, the two were not close to each other. Qin Run appeared in front of him so quickly, which showed how anxious he was looking for her.
Qin Run, looking disheveled, stared at Xu Yunfan with burning eyes. Perhaps due to exhaustion or emotion, his voice was slightly hoarse: "Can't you stay?"
