Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 11 Her brokenness inspired his protectiveness
At night, before it got completely dark, Qin Ke applied medicine to Lu Youqing as usual. The wound and bruises on her wrist were almost healed after two days of using the medicine, and now only the scar on the side of her face remained.
The wound is too deep and covers a large area, and it cannot be healed overnight.
The family was so poor that they couldn't even find an extra bench, let alone a mirror. Nowadays, most people use copper mirrors, which are made of bronze with a high tin content. Even if they had copper mirrors, the vision was not very clear and could not be compared with the clarity of mirrors used in later generations.
So as long as Qin Ke was not too busy, he would help Lu Youqing apply the medicine.
"It's much better than it was in the beginning. I estimate it will be back to normal in about half a year." Qin Ke was extremely gentle when applying the medicine. Although the other person's wound no longer hurt, he was still worried about hurting him.
Lu Youqing's long and dense eyelashes trembled slightly. Feeling the gentle touch on her cheek, she whispered, "How is it possible? Even if Hua Tuo were alive, such a scar would be difficult to heal."
She had to admit that the ointment the other party took out was indeed a treasure. She had never heard of such a good scar-healing ointment in her time in Beijing.
But how could that be possible with such a deep wound?
"How about we make a bet? Whoever loses has to agree to one of the other's requests." Qin Ke smiled mysteriously.
This is the ointment that he exchanged for half of his points. If it doesn't have the effect the system said, he will eat the system.
He did not regret spending his limited points to exchange for the ointment for the other party. Intellectually speaking, given his current predicament, the ointment was the least valuable and cost-effective commodity, but he still exchanged it without hesitation.
In addition to atonement for the original body, the most important thing was that when he saw her for the first time, she was so fragile, thin, and pale as paper, but she always had a stubborn face and proudly refused to let her tears flow.
Fragile and cold, that proud broken feeling instantly aroused his desire to protect.
In his previous life, he was always busy trying to be financially independent and had no time for a romantic relationship. Maybe there were some buds of love, but they were destroyed at the wrong time and place.
He is a naive man who doesn't know that when you have a desire to protect someone, it means that the seeds of love are planted deep in your heart.
"Okay!" Lu Youqing, who was no longer burdened by her appearance, also became interested.
After cleaning up, the two of them lay side by side on the bed again. After this period of time, Lu Youqing also realized that the other party would not do anything to her, so she was no longer as stiff as at the beginning.
Qin Ke, who used to stay up late in his previous life, found it difficult to adapt to the ancient people's work and rest schedule, but after dark, they really had nothing to do but sleep. So he developed the habit of lying on the bed and chatting.
But most of the time he was the one talking, and Lu Youqing rarely responded.
"The land has been plowed. I have already decided to plant rice on four acres and watermelon on the remaining one acre. Now is March, which is the season for planting watermelons. I will plant the watermelons tomorrow."
"The watermelon you are talking about, is it the green round fruit you asked me about before?" It was a rare night that Lu Youqing didn't leave him alone talking to himself.
"Yes, they will be harvested in the summer. When they are ripe, I will give them to you first to taste. They are very sweet and can be used to cool you down after being chilled."
Lu Youqing was not a person who liked to eat a lot, so she found the key point in the other person's words: "If it is true as you said, then these watermelons will definitely be very expensive by then."
She knew that for the noble class, the cost of ice alone in the summer was a considerable expense. If there really was a fruit that was perfect for cooling off, it would definitely be in great demand.
"So by then, Xigua's potential customers will not be ordinary people." Qin Ke smiled, feeling relieved that the other party grasped the key point.
The two of them fell asleep chatting as usual, but what was different from the past was that Lu Youqing began to actively participate in these future plans. Perhaps it was not until this moment that Qin Ke's heart finally settled down slowly, and he truly felt that the other party would stay with him.
No matter what the deadline is, Qin Ke felt a secret sense of joy in his heart at this moment, and even the corners of his mouth were raised when he was asleep.
On the way to the fields the next day, Qin Ke found that the villagers began to avoid him. Although his predecessor had been a cat-disdained dog in the past, at least he had never avoided him so much. He curled his lips, thinking that the fight he had fought yesterday had made him famous. This was good, so that others would not interfere in his family's affairs.
At the moment, he just wants to live a quiet life with Lu Youqing in the village.
He chose the most remote piece of land to grow watermelons. The few acres of land allocated to him were barren and remote. Whatever he did in the field would not attract the attention of the villagers unless someone was paying close attention.
Now they are just planting seeds, and until the watermelons grow, the villagers will just be curious. But once the watermelons are ripe and sold at a high price, they will definitely attract the covetousness of others.
But those things were still far away, and now all he wanted was to stay hidden as much as possible before that, so as not to attract the attention of people around him. And most importantly, the land closest to the foot of the mountain was higher, with a thicker soil layer and a sandier texture, which was more suitable for the growth and development of watermelons.
When he was repairing and reclaiming the land, he had already dug the side ditches, waist ditches and surrounding ditches. The three ditches were sufficient for drainage and irrigation. All he needed to do now was sowing. The seeds produced by the system did not need to be processed in advance. He just needed to pay attention to the distance between the seeds, making sure they were not too sparse or too dense.
Originally, this was no different from what Qin Ke had experienced a few days ago, until near noon, when he turned around and saw a graceful figure at the edge of his own field.
The figure slowly approached him. Facing the dazzling sunlight, he saw Liu Qingxu wearing her original mother's old clothes, plain clothes, and her head was wrapped with cloth like the villagers.
And most importantly, as she said yesterday, she no longer covered her injured cheek, but appeared in front of people with her head held high.
Qin Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"
"I came to bring you some water. I've almost finished my housework, so I thought I'd come and help you."
Qin Ke looked at her delicate and exquisite skin in silence.
"Why do you think I can't do these things? Or do you think I can't bear this hardship?" Lu Youqing stared at him with her amber eyes, as if she wanted to see through him.
"No," Qin Ke hurriedly shook his head. How could he think that? "I... I just think this place is too dirty. You shouldn't do this kind of thing."
He studied for more than ten years and then sat in an office for several years. It can be said that he has never done any housework. Fortunately, his skin is thick and tough now, otherwise he doesn't know how many blisters he would have got.
Moreover, there was not only mud and dust in the fields, there were also things like insects. It took him a long time to adapt to them. What's more, Lu Youqing had delicate skin, which would be marked by the slightest exertion.
