Female-to-male: I live on farming

Looking at the other person's bare feet, Qin Ke hesitated for just a moment before bending down, picking up the woman and walking into the house. Although he originally did not do farm work and played with cats and dogs every day, it was still easy for him to pick up a woman, not to mention that the woman in his arms had been hungry recently, and her body was so light that there was hardly any meat on her.

Qin Ke could feel the woman in his arms stiffen the moment he picked her up, but luckily he was very close to the bed, so he took two steps at a time and put the woman on the bed.

The late spring cold snap had just passed, and the temperature was still a little cold, especially at night. Qin Ke rummaged in the box for a long time before finding another quilt. It smelled musty, and there were holes in some places, with cotton wool sticking out.

Qin Ke stood by the bed and couldn't help sighing again. He felt that he had only been here for less than a day, but he sighed more times than in the past year. He finally graduated from college and worked hard for several years. He already had a car and a house, but before he had the time to enjoy it, he was back to the time before liberation.

However, seeing the woman sitting on the bed with some anxiety, Qin Ke had to cheer up. After all, there was someone in front of him who was even more miserable than him. After barely getting two quilts together, Qin Ke didn't act pretentiously. He covered the woman with the slightly better quilt and lay down with the damp one.

The bed at home is only slightly larger than the single bed in the university dormitory, probably only about two meters wide, so it would be a bit crowded for two people to sleep on it.

"Go to bed early. We have a lot to do tomorrow."

Seeing the woman kneeling on the inside of the bed without moving, Qin Ke put his hands under his head and looked at the woman's alert and stiff posture in the moonlight that came in.

After a long time, the woman slowly lay down, but she leaned close to the wall, trying to stay away from Qin Ke.

But the bed is so small that no matter how hard the women squeeze, the distance between them is only an arm's length.

Strictly speaking, Qin Ke has not changed his gender identity yet. Even though he has tried his best to take care of the other person, he still cannot change his habits from his previous life for the time being.

"Well, my name is Qin Ke, what's your name? If nothing unexpected happens, we're going to live together. We can't always not know your name, right?"

The woman didn't say anything, and Qin Ke didn't get anxious. He turned his head to look at the woman's profile. Although the light was very dim, he could still see that the woman's profile was very beautiful. The woman lay quietly looking at the roof. Qin Ke didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, but Qin Ke knew that he was actually somewhat grateful for the woman's existence.

Coming alone to a strange and backward era, even though he appeared to be calm, he was actually very scared and confused in his heart.

Although he has been living alone after work, in today's high-tech world, the Internet and various entertainments are enough to offset the loneliness. But here, after dark, the surroundings are quiet and there is no one in sight. If it weren't for the woman, he wouldn't know how to spend the night.

"... Lu Youqing"

Just when Qin Ke thought the woman would not answer him, the woman spoke.

Her response made Qin Ke excited. "Lu Youqing, this name sounds nice. I will call you Youqing from now on. There is no water in the water tank in the kitchen. I have to go get some water tomorrow morning. Remember to continue applying the medicine when you get up. I have put the medicine pot on the table. Don't forget it. I remember that there are still a few acres of land at home. Although the location is not good, we still need to reclaim it quickly before the spring plowing begins..."

As Lu Youqing listened to Qin Ke chattering about arrangements for tomorrow, she felt that she couldn't understand him more and more. He was still as irritable and foolish as before two days ago, but today he seemed to have completely changed into a different person, becoming... simple and straightforward. Lu Youqing couldn't help but turn her head to look at his sparkling eyes, thinking silently in her heart.

Qin Ke didn't care at all that the other party ignored him. At the end, he thought of what the woman said when they were eating sweet potatoes just now, and couldn't help but persuade her: "In fact, life is like this. We haven't reached a dead end yet. Why do we have to think about it at such a young age? As long as we are alive, who knows what the future will be like."

The future? Lu Youqing once thought that her future was to marry that person, have children, and then live a peaceful and stable life.

But ever since her mother passed away and her father remarried, he seemed like a different person and ignored her. Until she was disfigured and sold by them, she thought she had no future at all.

Now that the person in front of her seemed to have gotten a little better, shouldn’t she try to stay alive? At least… at least she wanted to see the reactions of those people.

Did that man ever feel sad for her? Did that cold-hearted father occasionally think of her and her deceased mother?

With this bit of reluctance, Lu Youqing gradually fell asleep.

After Qin Ke noticed that her breathing had become even, he turned back to try to sleep. After all, as he had said before, there were many things to do tomorrow. She slept until dawn and had no nightlife. Ancient people generally went to bed early and would get up as soon as the cock crowed in the morning.

Because rural people work in the fields, they mostly wear coarse linen clothes, which are very easy to wear, unlike the complicated outfits in costume TV dramas.

Qin Ke rubbed his face, and seeing that Lu Youqing was still sleeping soundly, he slowed down his movements. There was no industry, no car exhaust, and the air in ancient times was fresh and pleasant. After stretching, Qin Ke resigned himself to picking up the bucket and preparing to go to the water.

People in the village usually go to the river to fetch water. When the village was first built, it was built around the river. The house Qin Ke was allocated was at the end of the village, not too far from the river. When he went there with buckets of water, there were already people washing clothes by the river. Qin Ke was not ready to meet the villagers, so he found a more remote location.

It took him three trips to fill the water tank. When he came back the first time, he saw Lu Youqing had already gotten up. When he came back the second time, she had reapplied the medicine as Qin Ke had instructed.

The medicine produced by the system was indeed not exaggerated. After one night, the bruises on her wrists had mostly disappeared, and the wounds on her face were not as hideous as before.

Qin Ke estimated that if she didn't finish using up the bottle of medicine, the scars on her face would be gone. However, because there was no mirror at home, Lu Youqing didn't notice the changes on her face at all.

"What can I do?" When Qin Ke came back with the water, Lu Youqing had already finished washing up and was standing in the yard.

She was wearing a coarse cloth dress and her black hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin, which made her look out of place here.

However, Qin Ke felt that after a night, she was no longer so lifeless and had more life in her.

Lu Youqing has indeed become more open-minded. Since she has fallen into this situation, it is not yet a desperate situation. Even for her mother, she should try her best to stay alive.

"Um... can you wash clothes?" Qin Ke scratched his head.

"...I haven't washed it yet." Lu Youqing looked a little embarrassed, but still nodded, "But you can try."
