There is An Apocalyptic Man in the Village

Chapter 10- Ugly Spots

Although it was discussed before that Wu Qingyuan came to rent a room to stay in and a place to eat, however, after the commotion just now, the three fathers and sons of the Lin family quickly became acquainted with him, especially when he took out a fever-reducing medicine to save Zhou-ger. His actions made everyone’s affection for him to rise.

The noodles in the bowl were brought home by Lin Laogen at noon. Because of the time that passed, they were already soaked and soft. After being reheated, they were all shredded strips, and the portion was scarce. Most of the noodles in the bowl were just lots of green vegetables.

But despite this, for the countryside people who have not eaten meat and fish for a few months and had already eaten all the wotou mixed with wheat bran, such fine white noodles are not too rare, but they are already very good and delicious food.

And considering that he was a guest, Lin Amo deliberately distributed more noodles in his bowl. Wu Qingyuan noticed that his bowl was almost full of green vegetables, with only a few noodles for decoration, but the soup in it was abundant. Coupled with wotou, the food was already a somewhat luxury.

“Brother Wu, we have poor food in the countryside, I hope you don’t dislike it…”

Lin Laogen greeted Wu Qingyuan, and then distributed some noodles in the bowl to his bowl and also ate with mouthfuls of noodle soup.

The rare noodles made the small family very happy as they gobbled up the food. The atmosphere was light and happy. Wu Qingyuan thanked him from his seat and ate it. The apocalyptic people would not despise any edible food.

During the meal, Lin Laogen started chattering again. The source of the chatter was what Lin Amo and the old woman of the Zhou family in the village were doing against each other.

Although Lin Laogen loves his two children and can barely say no to them, he is not an irrational person. His ger is not good-looking, so he’s constantly being talked about by others, and his personality is like this because he has never had a mother since he was a child. He doesn’t understand or know how to show a little bit of restraint, and now he was still fighting against his elders. If this reputation spreads, who would dare to marry his ger?

After this year, Lin Amo will be nineteen, and all the gers and women of the same age already have children that are running around. Lin Laogen is anxious.

“…Father, I already know what you want to say but you saw it today, even if Zhou-ger was picked up by Grandma Zhou’s family, and the Zhou family raised Zhou-ger since Granpa Zhou died, Granny Zhou didn’t treat Zhou-ger as a human being, and instead saw Zhou-ger as a cow and a horse, working him like a slave, day and night, and now she almost beat Zhou-ger to death. I can’t ignore it!”

When Lin Amo slammed down the table and chopsticks when he mentioned the matter of Zhou-ger, he was still a little indignant.

Of course, he knows his situation. The ger who dares to quarrel with his elders would be talked about within a radius of a hundred miles, and tomorrow he will have another label of being disrespectful to his elders written on his head. A ger who can’t hold his temper.

“Anyway, there’s no one in the village who doesn’t dislike me and doesn’t give me advice about how I should act. If I can’t get married, then I can’t get married. I’ll be at home and honor you for the rest of my life. That’s also a great plan.”

Lin Amo was very open, but Lin Laogen was very worried, and continued to teach him a lesson, “Where in this world are there unmarried girls and gers? Is it possible that you want to live alone for the rest of your life?!”

“Dad, don’t be angry- isn’t there still my dear younger brother, A-Bao is so smart, the old scholars in the village praised my brother for being smart, and when he goes to a private school in the future, he will be a candidate in becoming a scholar. When Tianbao becomes a high-ranking official, our family would become prosperous- If you want to, Tianbao will recruit a husband-in-law for me, right, didi?”

Lin Laogen was stupid and couldn’t find anything to retort, but he couldn’t say that out loud. He could only stare at the two children with a sullen face while laughing angrily at them. Although it was crooked, it was not unreasonable. It would not be bad for him to save more money to recruit a husband for Lin Amo.

Seeing that he didn’t deny the proposal, Lin Amo and Lin Tianbao stuck their tongues out and laughed, and they knew they were fooling their father.

The warm atmosphere of the father and son infected Wu Qingyuan. He stared at Lin Amo, who was sitting opposite him. He was attracted by the cheerful and optimistic smile of the young man, and couldn’t help but want to take a closer look.

Ignoring the large green spot on his face, Lin Amo is very cute, and his big, bright eyes are especially good-looking. They are full of the liveliness of young people, like spring water in the mountains, revealing a heart-pounding coolness.

But it was the blue spot that almost covered half of his face that ruined everything. If one didn’t look carefully, one would only think that he looked ugly and scary.

“Brother Wu, did I scare you…”

Lin Amo, who was smiling, felt Wu Qingyuan’s gaze, the smile on his face stopped immediately, and he stretched out his hand to cover the spot on his face. Covering half of his face, he asked this in a careful tone.

Because of his appearance, he has been told since he was a child that even if he has an optimistic personality, and while he can’t have low self-esteem at all, he is still extremely sensitive to the wandering eyes of the people around him. Even though Wu Qingyuan’s movements are small, he can still feel them, and he can’t help but feel a little nervous in his heart as he quickly covered his face.

In other words, he doesn’t blame himself for being ugly, but when he frightens or disgusts others, he feels inferior and blames himself. Since he was a child, he often frightened the children in the village when he went out.

The smile on Lin Laogen’s face disappeared in an instant, and his heart was heavy. It was always his heart disease that his ger was not good-looking. If it weren’t for the ugly spot on his face, his Lin-ger was so diligent and sensible that it would not be so difficult to arrange a marriage for him.

“No, I just think that if you didn’t have that spot, you would be very good-looking…”

Wu Qingyuan comforted him feeling that the atmosphere becoming heavy.

“Aren’t you talking nonsense, everyone knows that if my brother doesn’t have this spot, he will be the best-looking ger in Liushu Village!”

Lin Tianbao rolled his eyes with contempt.

The two brothers of the Lin family have never had a mother since they were young, and there is a difference of nearly ten years in age. Lin Tianbao can proudly say that he was a brother to Lin Amo but Lin Amo had taken care of him like he was his mother. Their relationship is more affectionate than that of ordinary brothers. Just like Lin Laogen, no matter what, no one is allowed to say that his brother is an ugly ger, and the whole family has a bad temper regarding this issue.

“…”

Wu Qingyuan has been a human being in his two lifetimes. He didn’t need to be extremely intelligent to figure out the characters of Lin Laogen and his son. He smiled but didn’t get angry.

On the other hand, Lin Amo embarrassedly said to him, “Brother Wu, don’t take it to heart, my younger brother is still ignorant”, and then patted Lin Tianbao on the head as if teaching him a lesson. Although he was impulsive and not reserved and gentle towards his brother, he is still sensible.

“It’s okay, I just wanted to say that the spot on your face can be cured.”

Wu Qingyuan stared at Lin Amo and smiled.

“What did you say?!” The father and son of the Lin family instantly became quiet because of his words, then opened their eyes in disbelief, and exclaimed in unison.

The spots on Lin Amo’s face had been there since he came out of his mother’s womb. It was a natural thing and not a disease, even if they went to the hospital for surgery to remove it, it may still leave some traces. According to the medical methods here, even a fever can kill a person. There is no cure for a natural birthmark and no one has ever heard that a birthmark can be cured.

Wu Qingyuan said that it can be cured, not to mention the three people of the Lin family who do not understand medicine, even the imperial doctor of the palace will have this expression!

“Brother Wu- you- what you said, is it true? Can the blue spots on my face be cured?”

Lin Amo even rushed over, forgetting the rules of propriety, and grabbed his arm tightly as a pair of beautiful doe-like eyes that shine like bright stars in the night sky, full of expectation and brilliance face him.

Wu Qingyuan tensed his body the moment the other rushed over, almost habitually trying to take a defensive stance. The ten years of life in the apocalyptic days made his vigilance very serious, and this close touch wasn’t something he was used to.

But in the end, he held back and looked at the expectant gaze of the father and son of the Lin family, and then looked at his arm that was caught by Lin Amo, ignoring the touch of the boy’s body temperature on his arm, and continued to speak.

“Yes, when I was traveling, I met an old genius doctor who was the one who gave me the pill just now. He taught me some basic medical skills. I think I can help Lin-ger treat his face.”

Wu Qingyuan explained without changing expressions- there are too many things in him that cannot be explained clearly, so he can only make up some undiscoverable fiction like the ‘old genius doctor’ that he met in his travels.

Although the origin is explained, he does have a way to cure the blue spots on Lin Amo’s face. Wood-type abilities are one of the most popular abilities in the last few days because their functions are not only to ripen and control plants but they also can soothe pain and heal.

Although it is not as good as the real healing power, the higher the level of the wood power user, the stronger the ability. With his current ability, it is not difficult to cure Lin Amo’s face.

Moreover, according to his observation, the blue spots on Lin Amo’s face were not natural birthmarks- it was likely formed in the womb of his mother. His mother accidentally ate something with hazardous toxins and he was affected by it, so it would be easy to solve it.

“But I can’t guarantee that it will be cured, I’m only half sure…”

Although he had full confidence, Wu Qingyuan added an unsure statement at the end to prevent accidents.

“Just try it!”

Lin Laogen immediately agreed, not to mention being half sure, even if he weren’t sure at all, as long as there was a chance, the Lin family father and son would also be willing to give it a try.

To be honest, if it wasn’t for his ugly appearance, his young ger would really be a sought-after partner in the village. According to the standard of people marrying wives here, there are three.

First, good looks, second, easy to live with and please, and third, can work in the fields.

Despite being unsightly, Lin Amo has a big and bright pregnancy mole on his forehead. He has been a good hand in helping his father work in the fields since he was a child- from the threshold of his house to the entrance of the village, everyone knew how hard he worked!

The good news made the father and son of the Lin family extremely happy, and Lin Amo looked at him and was speechless.

Lin Laogen also patted Wu Qingyuan on the shoulder with joy and said that he would try his best to help him find his relatives. He didn’t need him to give him the money he promised before, if he couldn’t find it, he would just stay at the Lin Family’s house, and he could call him his “Older Brother” and ask him for help with anything. The little adult, Lin Tianbao, also nodded happily at him, expressing his welcome.

“Then I would like to thank Uncle Lin. I don’t need to worry about finding someone. Uncle can help me find out slowly…”

Facing the sudden enthusiasm from the Lin family, Wu Qingyuan accepted it easily, thanking them for their praise and not accepting Lin Laogen’s hasty proposal.

Before he came to this world, he had learned about the customs of this world from old man Zhou. The ancient customs were more important than the modern ones, if they became sworn brothers, the two families would have a lot of entanglements.

He doesn’t know much about the Lin family at all now, so naturally, he won’t make trouble by accepting the sworn brotherhood. He wants to help Lin Amo cure his face because he wants to have a close friendship with another family in the Liushu Village as he has plans to stay here long term.
