What's wrong. "Yu Chuan asked.

Xiao Ran was taken aback by him, and turned his head abruptly. Realizing that it was Yu Chuan who was asking him, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm bothering you, I'm sorry."

In fact, he didn't need to say anything, Yu Chuan roughly knew what was wrong with him from his reactions and movements.

"Being beaten?"

"..." Xiao Ran didn't say anything.

Yu Chuan reached out and found a magic crystal under the pillow, took out an ointment and handed it to him: "Apply it yourself."

Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment: "You must use this yourself."

Yu Chuan glanced at him: "Shut up."

Xiao Ran shrank his neck when he saw him, quickly reached out to take the ointment, sat up with his back to him and lowered his head to apply the ointment on his ribs.

He went to the living area to wash the quilt cover in the morning, and after a long search, he found the smallest bucket. He poured a bucket of water with all his strength and squatted aside to rub it.The underground river here is very strange, no matter how low the temperature is, it doesn't freeze, it's just cold, so cold that people's bones hurt.

Rubbing and rubbing, a hunter who was walking without looking at the road tripped over him, was knocked by him and almost fell into a somersault, furious, turned around cursingly and gave him a kick.

Xiao Ran was kicked two meters away and curled into a ball in pain.The anger was still there, and he wanted to come up to mend his feet with a dirty mouth, but was stopped by another construction worker who was washing clothes: "Chuan'er brought it back yesterday, you should pay attention."

"Yu Chuan from Shed No. 9?" The hunter stopped, frowned and looked Xiao Ran up and down, "What does he think of bringing such a brat back?"

"Who knows." The builder pouted.

The hunter glanced at Xiao Ran again, didn't say anything and didn't hit him again, and just left.

Xiao Ran knelt on the ground for a long time before standing up, grinning and clutching his ribs, his head was covered with cold sweat.

"Are the bones broken?" the builder asked him while shaking his clothes.

"No..." Xiao Ran squeezed out a word between his teeth.

The builder glanced at him, shook his head with emotion, and repeated what the hunter had said: "Tsk, what do you think?"

Xiao Ran moved back to the scrubbing place, the quilt cover was trampled on by a hunter with mud marks covered with snow foam, he shook the quilt cover silently, watered it, and rubbed it again.

While rubbing him, he carefully went through all the things he encountered in the past few days, the monsters in the misty forest, the situation in the camp, and the attitudes of the people around him. status.

—Extremely dangerous.

But not without hope.

——Is that boy Yu Chuan?It seems that most of them are adults. He is so young, but he can survive here, and even his name can temporarily prevent him from being beaten...

—Thighs!

——I can’t let go!

Xiao Ran howled secretly in his heart, while strengthening his determination to hug his thigh, he sighed helplessly, half of it was pain, and half was depression.

——To actually want a teenage half-grown child to protect him, in this world...

"Hiss—" When applying the medicine, his fingers accidentally poked his bruised ribs, and Xiao Ran was so painful that he came back to his senses.

Yu Chuan stretched out an arm and pulled him half a circle, making him face himself, looked at a black and blue footprint on his right rib, and stretched out his hand to press it.

"Ah..." As soon as the scream started, Xiao Ran stuffed his left hand into his mouth and blocked it.

Yu Chuan made a correct judgment based on the feeling: "The bone is not broken."

——You can ask me directly!

Xiao Ran wailed in his heart, full of tears.

Yu Chuan withdrew his hand: "You have to be careful when I'm not around. If someone really wants to bully you..." He thought for a while and gave a specific method, "Run faster."

——Isn’t it a process like “report my name”?

Xiao Ran thought of the hunter today, who stopped after hearing Yu Chuan's name.

"Let him report your name, there are not many people who can offend you now." Someone helped Xiao Ran speak from the bottom of his heart, and Uncle Lanny in the next bed was not asleep, turned over and whispered towards Yu Chuan road.

Yu Chuan directly closed his eyes: "If you meet someone who doesn't follow this routine, he will die."

Lenny propped up his upper body, passed Yu Chuan and said to Xiao Ran, "Hey, kid!"

"Uncle." Xiao Ran answered him in a low voice.

"Be careful, don't cause trouble for Brother Chuan!" Lanny yelled softly, putting his right hand to his mouth.

"Got it, thank you!" Xiao Ran also imitated him and whispered back with his mouth closed, and returned a smiling face with crooked eyes.

"This kid is so cute." Lanny smiled and lay back.

7. Chapter 7

(Seven)

Xiao Ran is a very well-behaved child. Compared to some spoiled children in modern society, he is as well-behaved as an angel.

What Yu Chuan likes, what he doesn't like, and his living habits, he got to know him in less than a week, even Yu Chuan himself.

Yu Chuan's only expression is expressionless.But Xiao Ran can accurately capture his mood from his very subtle reactions, and he can even judge from Yu Chuan's simple responses of "um", "ah", and "oh", according to the volume level, whether he is currently happy, Satisfied, angry, or unhappy.

In the first few days, he panicked every day.After all, although Yu Chuan still has money to live on, he is not that rich. His existence is always a burden, and he is particularly worried that Yu Chuan will lose him.

So he tried his best to please, treating himself like a pet and trying to make Yu Chuan happy.Later he found that although Yu Chuan was cold and reticent and didn't pay much attention to others, he could vaguely feel an attitude in that indifferent mood-Yu Chuan was protecting him.

Xiao Ran is smart and sensitive, he knows the state of the refuge camp and the attitude of the people around him very well.The danger here can be fully summed up in the four words "unlawful zone".If it wasn't for Yu Chuan, he would have been dead for a long time.

Living in the lawless zone for a long time, Yu Chuan's temperament was tortured by the difficult life, so that he was indifferent and rigid. He was really inexperienced in how to raise children.

Most of the time when Xiao Ran talked to him, he wouldn't respond to him, but this little kid was very persistent, and he would talk to him for a long time every day. After a long time, Yu Chuan would occasionally reply to him.Whenever he reacted, Xiao Ran would be as happy as eating honey, often making Yu Chuan dumbfounded.

——As for?

But Xiao Ran told him personally: As for!

Seeing the smiling face of the little kid, with the charcoal dust accidentally stuck on his face when he lit the fire, and smiling so hard that his teeth could not be seen, Yu Chuan's hard heart couldn't help but soften slightly, and he sighed secretly .

The weather was getting colder and colder, and there were more and more bonfires in the rest area at night, but Yu Chuan still woke Xiao Ran up in the middle of the night.

The greenhouse has only a roof and no wall panels, and the cold wind blows the snow foam, making people chill all over.Yu Chuan opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Ran beside him. The little kid curled up with his back to him, his teeth chattering from the cold.

Yu Chuan suddenly remembered that the child had no other clothes to change except for the clothes he wore when he first arrived.He changed his sweater and coat, which was even thinner than before, but he never told himself that he was cold...

He was silent for a moment, stretched out his arms and pulled Xiao Ran into his arms.Xiao Ran's whole body was cold, his hands and feet were like ice.Yu Chuan covered his little paw with his hand, but he wanted to pull his hand back for fear of freezing Yu Chuan.

"What are you doing?" Yu Chuan patted the back of his hand, holding his hand again, "Sleep!"

Xiao Ran huddled in his arms and remained motionless, while the temperature of Yu Chuan's chest slowly enveloped his whole body, isolating the cold and night.There was a slight vibration on his back. He listened to Yu Chuan's heartbeat and breathing, and slowly closed his eyes in the snowy night.

The next day, Yu Chuan went to the Military Armament Department to buy a set of thick clothes for Xiao Ran. There are few children here, and there is no suitable size for Xiao Ran. It is very funny to put the big clothes on his small body.

Xiao Ran rolled up his sleeves and trousers, and cherished the crumpled and cheap cotton coat: "Thank you brother."

"In the future, tell me if you are hungry or cold." Yu Chuan said, "Go buy a set of bedding tomorrow, and it won't be cold at night."

"Yeah!" Xiao Ran suddenly rushed over to hug him, and said earnestly with his small face up and his big eyes twinkling, "Brother is so kind!"

"..." Yu Chuan had never seen a child act coquettishly with him since he was a child, his whole body froze, embarrassed for a moment, he raised his hands and feet and slapped him on the head: "Go eat!"

Since raising Xiao Ran, Yu Chuan has spent all his spare money.A set of thick bedding costs dozens of silver coins, and a change of clothes is also prepared for Xiao Ran. He has to go hunting to earn enough money.

Winter is really not a suitable season for hunting in the wild, but Yu Chuan silently counted his remaining money, and canceled his plan to rest in winter.

Xiao Ran rubbed against his chest, moved to a comfortable place and continued to sleep.Yu Chuan looked at Xiao Ran who was sleeping in his arms, and tilted his head uncomfortably.He was not used to this kind of intimate contact, but with the warmth of the two of them in his small body in his arms, there was a little bit of blood-linked affection.

Yu Chuan reached out and touched the back of his head lightly, and retracted his arms slightly.

——Such a small child is also pitiful.

The winter rain mixed with snow chilled people to the bone. The blood on Yu Chuan's wound was frozen into frost, and he returned from the foggy forest exhausted.

He searched around the rest area, but found no sign of Xiao Ran.The bonfire by the bed was also cold, with no signs of being lit.

"Uncle Lan, have you seen Xiaoran?"

Uncle Lanny pointed to the construction site: "It was there in the morning, but I don't know now."

"Construction site?" Yu Chuan was taken aback. The camp was recently in the repair market area. It was raining heavily and there were very few people going to the construction site. Xiao Ran went to the construction site.
