Mr. Transcendence

Chapter 3 Huo Xiaohan

Yuan Anping walked to the village, and found that many people in the village were sweeping snow outside the yard.He observed these people quietly, and found that he seemed like an intruder.Looking at those peasants dressed in ancient costumes with their hair tied, at this moment he had a deeper feeling for the fact that he had come to another world.

In order not to be noticed by others, he could only lower his head slightly and continue walking.Some people would ask him in a hearty voice, "Anping, where are you going?"

Yuan Anping just smiled and replied, "I want to go to the well to see, but there is no water at home." That's all.He didn't dare to say anything more, and he couldn't address the other party, after all, he didn't know who they were.

Women who are more talkative will tell Anping that it is not easy to fetch water these days, and Yuan Anping's inadvertent movements also let Yuan Anping peek into the direction of the well.However, some were too busy to pay attention to him at all, which made him feel quite normal.After all, he also lived in the village for a period of time when he was a child. Although he would encounter several questions about whether he had eaten and a few questions about his studies on the road, he was still a little silent.

Because the waterproof winter shoes on the feet are much more convenient.Many places along the way were also swept away by snow sweepers, but the further you went to the village, the less snow there was.According to the few words he heard before, the well was drilled in the open space in the middle of the village, and there was a big mulberry tree beside it.

Yuan Anping saw the well.The ancient well was built with bluestone as a platform, and a layer of wooden railings were surrounded around it, which should be used to prevent children from accidentally falling into the well.This is a very old-fashioned well, and the way to fetch water is just like the one I saw on TV with buckets hanging on wheels.At this time, no one came to fetch water, perhaps they were all busy dealing with the snow in the yard and roof.

Yuan Anping came to the well, and now he is only 1.6 meters tall, but he couldn't see what was going on inside the well even if he wanted to stand by the well.Turning around the well, he wanted to try to see if he could shake the water.Then he touched the handle with his hand.Before shaking it twice, he found that it was really hard, but he felt that it was still within his tolerance.When he finally shook the bucket up, he found that pulling the bucket was still a technical job.Just as Yuan Anping was thinking about how to lift the bucket to the ground smoothly, he suddenly noticed a boy standing beside him carrying a bucket to fetch water.In this shock, his hand suddenly loosened, and the bucket fell into the water again with a bang.

Yuan Anping noticed that the boy frowned after seeing the bucket fall into the well, and his eyes were a little bit puzzled.He coughed to relieve his emotions, and then stepped aside: "Get some water."

The boy shook his head, "You came first, you should call first." His voice was a little low, and he sounded weak.

Yuan Anping smiled unnaturally, "I didn't bring a bucket, I'm just... thirsty and want to fetch some water. I'm not in a hurry, you can fetch water first."

The boy didn't care about his lame excuse, maybe it was normal for him to drink well water in winter.No matter what the reason was, after listening to Yuan Anping's words, the young man went forward to fetch water, while Yuan Anping stood beside him and watched from a place not in the way.

The boy was very handsome, about the same height as him, and also very thin. His face was very pale and bloodless, similar to the self he saw in the mirror yesterday.Moreover, the clothes are also very shabby, which is not as good as the suit I am wearing.Since he had met many people along the way, he knew that people dressed in such shabby clothes as him were a minority.Although there will inevitably be some patches on everyone's clothes, most of them look very thick, and there are very few of them that look torn and thin.

The boy flicked the rope connected to the bucket first, allowing the bucket to enter the water.When he shook the wheel, it was obvious that he was struggling, and the exposed wrist was extremely thin.

But the other party still shook the bucket up. At this moment, Yuan Anping saw him trying to lean sideways, stretching his arms as much as possible, pulling the bucket to his side, and then pouring water into his own bucket with the bucket.Although this process does not take much time, it seems to be very difficult for the teenager.Moreover, he also saw frostbite on the boy's hands.

Yuan Anping felt that this young man was really not easy. He had never seen such a hard-working child since he was a child, so he wanted to step forward to help.

Yuan Anping tried to ask: "Shall I shake the wheel for you?"

The boy looked at Yuan Anping in surprise.Before he had any reaction, Yuan Anping stepped forward and squeezed him away, imitating his example and shaking the rope to shake the bucket into the water.But this is obviously a technical job, and it took several shakes to do it, and then I felt relieved that it was successful.

The two worked together, one was shaking the wheel, the other was carrying the bucket, and the boy's bucket was filled within a few times.

The young man looked at Yuan Anping, as if he was not good at talking, "Thank you...thank you."

Yuan Anping grinned, "You're welcome, you're welcome. Is it okay for you to carry the bucket alone?" The bucket is not small, and the boy is so thin.

The teenager put his hand on the bucket, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Just when the young man was about to carry the water away, several children who looked like seven, eight, or nine years old ran over, and when they saw the young man, one of them said, "Look, Huo Xiaohan came out again. Get some water."

Another person said with a gloating laugh: "Hey, I heard his mother say that if Huo Xiaohan doesn't get enough water, he won't have food."

There was a child with a naive voice, "Huo Xiaohan is so pitiful, he has no food. Why is his mother so bad." In this child's heart, not being allowed to eat may be the most painful punishment.

Another child continued, "Fatty, what do you know? My mother can tell you that Huo Xiaohan is not only a twin, but also a parent. His mother almost died when she gave birth to him, and his father also got sick because of him. My mother said that his fate is hard, not good, not good."

Some children said one after another, "I also heard what my mother said."

And that little chubby asked stupidly, "Why didn't my mother tell me?"

The other children said proudly, "That's because you are stupid."

"Huo Xiaohan is an unlucky ghost, whoever is with him will be unlucky, let's not play with him."

Yuan Anping listened to those children talking to each other, looked at the pitiful boy squatting on the ground with his head down, gritted his teeth, this is really a must for any era!

He shouted at a few children not far away: "It's okay, go away and play, what are you doing here! Go, go!"

Hearing Yuan Anping's words, the children looked at him curiously. Among them, the taller one seemed to be the leader of the children, with a thorny look, "Hey, Yuan Anping, how can you help Huo Anping?" Talk to Xiaohan! Hehe, I heard from my mother that Huo Xiaohan can marry. Do you want to marry him? My mother said that it is not easy for you to marry a wife, so you want to marry Huo Xiaohan. Is Xiaohan right?"

Several other children followed suit, "Huo Xiaohan is Yuan Anping's little wife, Huo Xiaohan is Yuan Anping's little wife."

Yuan Anping was surprised when he first heard that the young man could marry, and then he heard the kid tell his mother one by one, and felt that the child's mother is really a mother-in-law.I thought I couldn't cure you little brat.Then he looked extremely contemptuous towards the child, "I thought you were so great, but your mother said it one by one, tsk, why are you like those bad-mouthed women in the village, you really don't look like a man, I look down on you !"

When the child heard what Yuan Anping said, he blushed immediately, "Why do you look down on me! Let me tell you that I am their boss!"

Yuan Anping folded his arms and continued to condescend and said in a very disdainful tone: "Hmph, you never leave your mother in three words, like a child who has not been weaned, and you are still the boss, I am laughing to death! If it were me, I would definitely not recognize her." A person like you who is not weaned is the boss. Look at you, talk about Huo Xiaohan. Think about it for yourself, is it only the women in the village who say that about Huo Xiaohan, and the men in the village don’t say that? But you say , it means that you are not men, you are all sluts!"

Those children were taken aback by Yuan Anping's words, but after thinking about it carefully, they really hadn't heard what their father said.They don't think about it either, their fathers think about the crops and the harvest all day long, so they don't have the time to think about other people's messy things.As for Xiao Pangdun, a child who looked like five or six years old, looked at Yuan Anping with sparkling eyes and admiration, thinking in his heart that he dared to quarrel with Brother Li Zi, it was too much!

Those children who also said what Tingniang said before immediately shut their mouths, as if they had never said this before.And the leading child blushed and had a thick neck, and shouted at Yuan Anping: "I won't talk about Huo Xiaohan in the future, if you dare to say that I am not a man, I will fight with you!" Then he shouted at the younger brother behind him, " let's go!"

Yuan Anping saw a few brats leaving, and felt complacent, "Little boy, fight with me!" Seeing that the boy was still squatting on the ground, he also squatted down and comforted him, "Don't take what those brats say to your heart, just treat it as a It sounds like farting." After he finished speaking, he found that Huo Xiaohan was not in the right state, and only then did he notice that Huo Xiaohan was covering his stomach with one hand, his face was ugly and in pain.

Yuan Anping quickly asked, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

Huo Xiaohan's voice was weak, "Stomach hurts, just take it easy."

Yuan Anping frowned nervously and said: "Stomach pain is not a trivial matter, you'd better see a doctor."

Huo Xiaohan shook his head, "It's okay, I'm hungry, so I don't need to see the doctor." He kept his head down, not looking at Yuan Anping, not knowing what he was thinking.

When Yuan Anping heard that he was hungry, it was not a stomachache but a stomachache. Thinking of what those children said before, he felt that Huo Xiaohan was really pitiful.After thinking about it for a while, he reached into his arms, took out two roasted sweet potatoes from the space and handed them to Huo Xiaohan, "This is for you to eat."

Huo Xiaohan turned his head to look at Yuan Anping, his eyes were red, but he still shook his head, "I don't want it, I heard that you are having a hard time, and you still rely on your uncle's house. I will have food after I fetch water."

Yuan Anping felt that Huo Xiaohan was so kind-hearted, he still thought of others when he was like this.However, he still forced the sweet potato into Huo Xiaohan's hand, "Don't worry, I'm not as miserable as you imagined. Eat it quickly, don't think that stomach pain is a trivial matter, if it hurts more often, you will get sick. Listen to me, Eat it while it's hot to warm your stomach."

Huo Xiaohan lowered his head and looked at the sweet potato in his hand, feeling the heat of the sweet potato. He had never been so warm like this moment, and he was crying while eating with his head down.

Yuan Anping didn't know how grateful the other party was for his help.Huo Xiaohan has been bullied too much since he was a child, but no one has ever stood up to speak for him, no one has helped him.He carried the shackles of his parents, and was betrayed by the only friend he valued. With the reputation of whoever is close to him and whoever is unlucky, no one wants to get close to him.He was hit hard, and even felt that life was meaningless, but he didn't want to die.He had a humble thought in his heart, after he got married and left that home, maybe life would get better.As for what those children said that Yuan Anping was kind to him because he wanted to marry him, he didn't believe it.

He knew Yuan Anping, who was one of the few educated children in the village.He had seen each other from afar, felt different from other children, and never bullied himself.Although he didn't help himself, he felt that this was the greatest kindness for him.

The two sweet potatoes are relatively big, and Huo Xiaohan feels full after eating one, and there are people who come to fetch water, he is afraid of being seen, and it is not good to spread the word.He is not afraid of anything, he knows Yuan Anping's aunt, if she let the other party know that Yuan Anping gave food from his family to others, she will definitely make a fuss.
