Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 77 Don’t be afraid

Jiang Xingye's hands clenched the hoe, veins popping out on his arms. A villain in his heart wanted to say "I like you too", but reason told him that he had no right to say such words.

Inferiority complex surged like a tide, extinguishing his fiery impulse.

He seemed to see himself in the picture: a rough country boy, a twelve-year-old murderer, an idle second-rate guy, a bad-tempered village bully. There had hardly been a good word used to describe him over the years.

And she is so beautiful!
Just standing here, she looked like a goddess in heaven, so perfect that she didn't seem to belong to this world.

Jiang Xingye was so depressed that he could hardly control himself. "I won't do that again. I've eaten your food, and doing this for you is just repaying the favor."

After saying that, he dragged his hoe towards the ridge of the field.

I didn’t dare look back at Xu Qinghuan.

Xu Qinghuan looked at his back. The plot turned so quickly that she didn't understand for a moment how it developed in this direction.

Could she be mistaken?
This is too embarrassing!
Xu Qinghuan was so angry that she kicked the nearest sorghum stalk and broke it, which scared her.

These days, food is more precious than life!
If the brigade knew about her act of destroying crops, she would definitely be dragged out and criticized.

Xu Qinghuan quickly took out a handful of spiritual spring water from the space and sprinkled it on the roots of the sorghum. The sorghum shook a little, but the stalk was broken and could not straighten up for a while.

Xu Qinghuan hurried out of the field and ran towards the mountain.

I had to find a wooden stick and tie the sorghum stalks to it, but the nearby ridges had been cut cleanly and the nearest trees were on the hill.

Jiang Xingye walked back dejectedly. After a few steps, he heard some movement behind him. Turning his head, he saw Xu Qinghuan rushing towards the mountain like a gust of wind, looking very anxious.

Seeing her heading up the mountain, Jiang Xingye was so scared that he almost lost his soul. He threw the hoe to the ground and rushed towards Xu Qinghuan like a fly.

Xu Qinghuan only heard the sound of whistling wind coming from behind her. Before she could turn her head, she was grabbed by someone. The force she turned around was too great and she hit a wall of flesh, her head was dizzy.

"What are you doing?" Xu Qinghuan was really angry, mainly because it hurt so much that he almost had a concussion.

She rubbed her head, feeling a little unsteady, and leaned on Jiang Xingye.

This man is truly outstanding.

Even though he had been working for most of the day and was drenched in sweat, the pine scent on his body still smelled good. Xu Qinghuan had never been so close to a man in her two lifetimes, mainly because she would feel nauseous whenever he got close to her.

But Jiang Xingye was different. She had had close contact with him several times and didn't feel disgusted at all.

A big, broad hand touched her head and rubbed her furry head. Xu Qinghuan let go and glanced at him sideways, "Do you want me to die?"

He pulled her with such great strength, this mountain is his home?

At this moment, there was a rustling sound under the grass in front of her feet. Something was moving under the dry grass. Xu Qinghuan thought it was a snake. She screamed in fright, jumped back, and climbed onto Jiang Xingye's body, with her two feet hanging.

Jiang Xingye scratched the dry grass with his toes twice, and Xu Qinghuan saw that there was actually a half-grown wild boar inside. Its hind leg was pierced by a sharpened wooden stick, and blood was flowing. The wild boar was struggling.

And she finally saw clearly that this was a trap.

If Jiang Xingye had been a little slower, she would have stepped in and her fate would have been worse than that of a wild boar.

Xu Qinghuan felt a surge of fear and felt powerless all over.

Jiang Xingye put his arm around her waist, lifted her down from her back and placed her on the ground. Xu Qinghuan's legs went limp, and he quickly used his strength to support her, coaxing her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid!"

How can I not be afraid!

Although I definitely won’t die, the pain is so severe that it’s worse than death. What a terrifying feeling!
"Does it still hurt?" Jiang Xingye rubbed her head again. Xu Qinghuan looked at him, not missing the flash of concern and lingering tenderness in his eyes. It was the first time she saw his gentle features, and it was hard to imagine that such a cold and cruel boss in the book could actually have such a side.

Xu Qinghuan had just been too sentimental, and now he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Fortunately!"

She shook her head, pointed at the wild boar, and asked, "Who set this trap?"

Jiang Xingye was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "It's me!"

very good!

The life-saving grace was offset.

In fact, she couldn't help but vent her anger on him at this moment, angrily saying, "Why did you set a trap at the foot of the mountain for no reason? Don't you know the danger? For example, how could someone like me know that there was a trap on the flat ground?
What if someone falls in?"

"No!" Jiang Xingye smiled and took two steps back, putting some distance between them.

She can even get angry now, so she must have regained her strength!

"What did you say?" Xu Qinghuan didn't understand, so she narrowed her eyes and glared at him fiercely.

"The brigade ordered me to set the trap. Everyone in the village knows about it." Jiang Xingye pointed to the mountain range and said, "Wild boars have been coming down this area all the time. If there weren't traps, the crops here would basically be useless."

"Uh!"

Xu Qinghuan was speechless. It was clear that they were bullying her because she was a newcomer.

She pulled out a stick as thick as a thumb and about one meter long from the trap, then turned and left.

Jiang Xingye quickly covered the wild boar with dry grass and hurried to catch up with her. He didn't say a word, but just walked silently behind her.

When they reached the edge of the field, Xu Qinghuan saw that the sorghum plant had actually stood up on its own. She was extremely shocked and turned to Jiang Xingye and said, "Don't come over here!"

Jiang Xingye stood obediently on the edge of the field, watching her put the stick next to a sorghum plant, then took out a rope from her pocket and tied the sorghum to the stick.

After Xu Qinghuan finished all this, he clapped his hands and walked over again. "Although you saved my life again today, I won't thank you. If it weren't for the trap you set, I wouldn't have had such a false alarm."

"Yeah." Jiang Xingye stood high up, and when he lowered his head he could only see the top of her head. Even her whorls were so beautiful. He couldn't help but show doting in his eyes, his brows relaxed, and his face was filled with rare affection.

Liking someone is something you can’t hide!

"I know!" He added, fearing that Xu Qinghuan would overthink it.

"Then go ahead, I have to get to work!"

Xu Qinghuan's attitude towards him was not good, but Jiang Xingye was not angry. He spoke in a low voice with a charming magnetism, "I'll go get the wild boar out. The team will distribute the meat today. You should go early after work."

That wild boar weighed about 240 kilograms, and after killing it, there would be about 170 to 180 kilograms of meat. It was definitely impossible to divide it among the entire team. Generally, the wild boar would be divided among the teams that got the wild boar.

There are more than 30 households and more than 140 people in their team, and each person can get more than one kilogram of meat.

The wild boar's meat was not tasty because it had not been castrated. However, Xu Qinghuan had never seen such a grand scene of dividing meat, so he wanted to see it. He agreed and turned around to start working.

New Year's update! One more chapter! My best wishes to you all, Dafeng, Brother Ye, and Sister Huan!
