Chapter 5

After a while, Huo Linyuan pulled An Lan up.

The first thing An Lan did when she came up was to thank Huo Linyuan, only to find that Huo Linyuan, just like in his previous life, was staring at her chest with a dark and deep gaze.

“You…” An Lan lowered his head belatedly, covering his chest nervously, his tone a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Although I know Huo Linyuan likes me, this is too much…

But for some reason, she didn’t have the anger she had in her previous life, but more shyness.

“Don’t move.” Huo Linyuan’s voice was low and pleasant, with a hint of unapologetic attitude.

Huo Linyuan threw a sickle behind An Lan at lightning speed.

“alright.”

An Lan looked back and saw that the tip of the sickle had deeply penetrated the head of a rat snake…

“ah!”

An Lan screamed and immediately jumped into Huo Linyuan’s arms, like a tree hugging a bear, with her hands and feet tightly wrapped around him.

Huo Linyuan didn’t expect the other party to be so scared. He was caught off guard and was pounced on by An Lan. He staggered and fell down with An Lan.

During the fall, Huo Linyuan reflexively grasped An Lan’s slender waist tightly and held her firmly in his arms.

That soft curve that can be held in one hand is what makes men’s hearts flutter.

Are all girls’ bodies as soft and fragrant as hers?

This is so soft and fragrant.

In particular, he clearly felt the softness in his chest…

Huo Linyuan was distracted and forgot to let go for a moment.

An Lan only felt that the other person’s chest was too strong, which hit her nose and hurt her. Just as she was about to get up, the hand across her waist was like an iron clamp. She could feel the man’s hard muscles through his clothes.

“Comrade Huo, please let go.”

An Lan was a little shy. She had never been hugged like this before, not even in her previous life.

In her previous life, her husband was a man with paralyzed lower body. Not only could he not hold her in his arms, he couldn’t even support her when she fell.

Huo Linyuan came back to his senses when he heard a hint of annoyance in the other party’s voice.

When he realized that he was holding on to someone, his ears turned red and he suddenly let go of her hand as if he was burned.

An Lan felt the hand around his waist loosen, heaved a sigh of relief, and stood up.

Huo Linyuan also stood up and apologized in a muffled voice: “I’m sorry!”

“It’s okay. I should be the one thanking you. If it weren’t for you, I might have been bitten by a snake.” After saying this, An Lan belatedly remembered his past life…

It seemed that I had misunderstood the other person, thinking that he was a playboy, but I didn’t expect that he was actually driving away the snake for me.

An Lan suddenly felt her face burning…

Very panicked…

No wonder he looked at me with an indescribable look when I scolded him in my previous life.

ah!

Too shy!

Huo Linyuan looked at the fair face of the woman in front of him, which was getting redder and redder, and her deep eyes were so dark that they were unfathomable.

An Lan is very beautiful. I had only glanced at her from a distance before and she was breathtaking. Now, with the skin as white as cream and lips as red as cinnabar given by the system, she is even more beautiful.

Especially her extremely red lips, which made her even more attractive against her fair skin. When he met her sparkling eyes, his heart beat as fast as a drum.

“Um.”

Huo Linyuan’s voice was hoarse and he lowered his eyelids uncomfortably, not daring to look at the other person again. He walked directly to the side of the snake, picked up the sickle, and then picked up the snake.

Thinking of An Lan’s frightened look, he found another large leaf, wrapped the snake, and then walked to An Lan and said, “Here you go.”

An Lan was just wondering why Huo Linyuan wrapped up the snake. When he saw that she was going to give it to him, he turned pale, closed his eyes and waved his hands quickly: “I don’t want it, take it away.”

“This snake is not poisonous.”

“So what?”

“Yes.”

“…”

An Lan suddenly remembered that the present age is not as developed as in the future, and the problem of food and clothing has been solved.

It is still 1976, a time when no one has enough to eat, not to mention that snakes are meat, and many people want to eat them but can’t catch them.

“I don’t want it, you can take it back.” An Lan felt horrified when she thought of snakes. Moreover, she was bitten by a snake when she was a child, and she still remembered the cold, piercing and slippery touch…

Seeing that An Lan was really scared, Huo Linyuan did not force him. He put the snake into the backpack and picked up a rabbit for An Lan.

“What are you doing?”

An Lan looked at the rabbit in front of him and asked in confusion.

“Snake, you don’t want it, the rabbit is for you.” Although Huo Linyuan had a blank expression on his face, he subconsciously curled his fingers, revealing his nervousness at the moment.

“No need. You were the one who killed the snake. It has nothing to do with me. You can take it back.” An Lan insisted.

She remembered that the Huo family was the poorest in the village, mainly because the Huo family members had fled here to escape famine.

I heard that the whole family almost died on the road, leaving only the elderly grandmother and three young brothers, the youngest of whom was a sickly person.

The money for the medicine alone is enough to bankrupt the Huo family. This is why Huo Linyuan works so hard. As long as he falls, the Huo family will fall apart.

No wonder after the reform and opening up, every household was happily growing crops, but Huo Linyuan was the only one who was eager to go out to work.

Because he knew that the land he was given could only provide him with enough food and clothing. If he wanted to cure his brother, he would have to work hard to make money and send him to a big city for treatment.

“Let me take you home.” Seeing that An Lan really didn’t want it, Huo Linyuan didn’t continue and changed the subject.

“Okay, thank you so much.” Upon hearing this, An Lan couldn’t help but smile, as beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming in April.

Huo Linyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, put on the backpack, took the initiative to walk in front, and used a sickle to clear the way for An Lan.

The wild grass on the mountain grew very lush, almost as tall as An Lan’s waist. If An Lan were alone, it would be difficult for him to get out.

Looking at Huo Linyuan in front of him, he kept waving the sickle, cutting all the weeds, and then trampled the weeds to the ground until the weeds would no longer bounce back before continuing to cut the next place.

It was the hottest time of the day at noon, and Huo Linyuan was already sweating profusely, but he did not dare to take off his coat.

Now his clothes were soaked with sweat, and they stuck to his body, revealing the muscle lines on his shoulders and back, making him look tall, slender, and tight…

An Lan couldn’t help but be distracted, and for a moment he didn’t notice that Huo Linyuan had stopped, and he bumped into the other’s solid back…

“What are you doing…” He stopped, and before he could finish his words, the other person covered his lips.

The two were so close that An Lan could smell the other’s strong hormone scent, which made her face slightly red.

“Shh, there’s someone over there.”
