Yun Qishen

Yan Cang and Mo Langqin came to the largest water well in the village. Mo Langqin was pulling a rope to draw water from the well.

Yan Cang blinked and looked at Mo Langqin curiously. The more she looked at him, the more she liked his fair face. "What are you doing in our village? Are you looking for someone or something?"

"Looking for relatives." Hearing Yan Cang's sweet tone, Mo Langqin lied without emotion.

"Relative? So you used to be from this village?" There was surprise and disappointment in Yan Cang's eyes.

The reason for the disappointment might be that Yan Cang felt regretful that he could never leave this village in his life. The reason for the surprise was that as long as Mo Langqin was related to the people in this village, her parents would definitely agree to her and Mo Langqin's marriage.

"Probably so."

"perhaps?"

Yan Cang became even more curious, so Mo Langqin continued to lie to make the matter perfect.

"Because my parents are gone, the neighbor told me that my father is from this village, so I came here."

"So, your father didn't marry in the village when he was our age? So he was driven out of the village?" Yan Cang asked one question after another, not giving Mo Langqin any time to answer. "But your last name is Mo, and there is no one with the last name Mo in our village. Is your father really from here?"

"My mother's last name is Mo, so I took her last name."

When these words came out, Yan Cang was completely surprised, so surprised that she needed some time to digest it, "You took your mother's surname? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing."

"There are many such cases outside this village. To put it another way, my father married my mother."

"Is there really such a thing?! Aren't your parents afraid of being beaten?"

Although Yan Cang was easily receptive to foreign cultural shocks, in her understanding, all newborn children would inherit their father's surname, and women should depend on men for their living.

Anything that goes against these cognitions is wrong and will be punished by the villagers.

"It's just that the thinking in your village is too stubborn. There are all kinds of people and things outside."

After hearing what Mo Langqin said, Yan Cang couldn't help but yearn for it. She wanted to see how colorful the outside world was. She had to go outside the village to see it.

Yan Cang originally thought that she was the most open-minded new generation in the village, but now she feels that she is not truly open-minded, and the stubborn thinking of the stubborn village has a great influence on her.

"What's your father's surname?" Yan Cang asked.

"King." Mo Langqin took a sip of the well water, and then washed his face with the remaining water.

"Well... there are two big families with the surname Wang in the village now. One is the family of Village Chief Wang in the north of the village, and the other is the family of Rich Man Wang in the south. No matter which one it is, they all look good!" Yan Cang clapped his hands while talking to himself, "However, I have never heard of these two families driving anyone out. Instead, I heard that Rich Man Wang's family has a disabled son."

"The son of Tiancan?" Mo Langqin shook his water-stained hair slightly, and a hint of calculation appeared in his eyes.

"Yes, he seems to be blind... or deaf, or lame. In short, he is different from ordinary people, and there is something missing from his body. That's what I heard, but my friends and I have never seen this disabled son of their family."

"Friends, those friends you mentioned earlier who pushed you into the woods?"

When Mo Langqin asked him this question, Yan Cang became a little embarrassed, "Ah... yes."

At this moment, a woman who looked to be about 40 years old walked towards Yan Cang quickly. As she approached, she yelled, "Yan Cang! How come you didn't come back until this morning? Do you know how worried I was?"

This woman's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Yan Cang, she should be Yan Cang's relative. Mo Langqin heard the meaning of what the woman just said. Does this mean that Yan Cang did not go home directly last night, but followed him until morning?

"Grandma!" Yan Cang wanted to dodge, but the woman grabbed his arm tightly and pulled him.

The woman noticed Mo Langqin behind Yan Cang and frowned, "Who is this child? Why are you bringing people from other villages into the village again!"

"He is my destined person. I met him in the woods!" Yan Cang had just shaken off the woman's hand when he was grabbed by her again.

"How can you kids still believe this? Come home with me!" After saying that, the woman pulled her away.

Yan Cang fluttered his legs and refused to leave, "No way! I still have to accompany him to look for his relatives!"

Hearing the word "relatives", the woman's worried and angry face eased a little, "You said this child's relatives are in our village?"

Yan Cang nodded vigorously, "Yes, he said his father's surname is Wang. I thought of taking him to the village chief first, and then go to the rich man Wang's house to ask."

"What's your father's name?" the woman asked, focusing her attention on Mo Langqin again.

Mo Langqin pretended to be friendly and smiled, "I only know that my father's last name is Wang. My mother has never called my father's name in front of me, and my father has never told me."

The woman didn't really trust Mo Langqin. Her intuition told her that the boy in front of her was very scheming. She lowered her head again to dissuade Yan Cang, "Yan Cang, it's not that I don't want you to go, but I'm worried about you going with him. Just let him go by himself, and you come home with me first."

"I don't! I finally met my destined person. Grandma, you can't hinder my destiny!"

"Those are all lies! Don't believe them!"

"If it's a lie, then why did you tell us? Let us believe in fate! Grandma, you are just worried that I am in danger. I can guarantee that he is a good man and he will never hurt me."

"Yan Cang!"

Just as the grandson and grandson were arguing endlessly, the boy in the square hat who had pushed Yan Cang into the woods and his young relative came closer.

The boy in the square hat quickly pulled the grandmother and grandson apart and smiled at the woman, "Grandma Yan, Xiao Rong and I happen to be free, so let's go with Yan Cang."

"It turns out to be Xiao Ruan." The woman's attitude suddenly changed for the better and she became very polite.

"Don't worry, grandma. I will take good care of Yan Cang." The boy in the square hat still held a wooden ruler in his hand, and on the other end of the ruler was a pair of more tender little hands.

"You are sensible." The woman patted the boy in the square hat on the shoulder. "So, after you help the child find his relatives, can Xiao Ruan trouble you to bring Yan Cang home in person?"

"I will, grandma."

The boy in the square hat chatted with the woman for a few more words, and the woman finally left with peace of mind.

"Lululu." Yan Cang made faces at the boy in the square hat with a fake smile. She cursed unhappily, "Is he sensible? He knows shit. All he does is carry a ruler around all day."

The boy in the square hat pouted. He turned to look at Yan Cang who was muttering and raised his eyebrows. "Yan Cang, you have a very loud voice. If you want to say something bad about me, why don't you look me in the eye and say it directly?"

Yan Cang just said, "Wang Fangruan is a big bastard!"

"Oh, that's all you can say." The boy in the square hat was not angry. Instead, he focused his eyes on Mo Langqin. "You, the destined person, are quite fair-skinned and tall."

He walked over and stretched out his hand to Mo Langqin, "Hello, my name is Wang Fangruan. I just heard what Yan Cang said, and I want to ask you a few questions. Your father's surname is Wang, is he really from here? Since you don't know his name, did he leave any tokens or something like that? Or does he have any special scars or moles on his body?"
