Ugliest Ger With Space

Chapter 6 🍃

“Uh! Thank you”

Xu Qing, who was finally pulled back to reality by Aunty Xie‘s voice, hurriedly got dressed, combed his messy hair, and ran out bracing the cold morning breeze.

As soon as Xu Qing open the courtyard door, he saw Aunty Xie, who was dressed in Tsing Yi (T/N: a Chinese clothing style) standing in front of the door with the vegetable basket he sent last night. He noticed that the hem of Aunty Xie‘s clothes was still a little damp. He came so early that the clothes were wet by the grass covered with morning dew on the side of the road.

“Come in Aunty Xie. Is something wrong?”

Xu Qing was a little embarrassed; he scratched his messy head, pulled Aunty Xie into the house, and carefully looked at the sky outside. It’s just after 6 o’clock in the morning. Aunty Xie came so early; he didn’t know what was going on.

“Oh, it’s nothing serious. Come and sit nice to aunt.” Aunty Xie looked at the appearance of Xu Qing who hasn’t had time to even properly dress and knew that he just got out of bed.

“Brother Qing, I say, where did you get this rabbit meat? Don’t try to lie, be honest with me.”

Xu Qing, who originally looked at the basket and thought that Aunty Xie was just coming to return it, saw the rabbit meat inside, and his eyes suddenly bulged.

“Why? You tell me. I couldn’t figure out how you got this delicacy from the mounting and the sea. I won’t be able to eat it if I don’t know the truth.” Aunty Xie, who was talking seriously, said more, “You don’t know, when your uncle and I opened the basket and saw it was rabbit eat, we were very shocked. It’s been so many years since your father passed away, we have not received such rabbit meat. Let alone the portion is not small. So tell me.”

Although the common people live and work in peace and contentment, their lives are still very difficult. This amount of rabbit meat can be sold for 30 coppers a catty in the town. If someone is lucky to catch it, not everyone can eat it. Aunty Xie cannot eat it casually like Xu Qing, but sell it in the town and save some money for his family in case of emergency.

“Oh, I was lucky enough to catch it in the mountain yesterday and I couldn’t finish it by myself so, I give you and uncle to have a taste.” Xu Qing finally figured out the whole story so, he vaguely talked about the origin of the rabbit. He didn’t lie though; he just omitted some information.

“You entered the mountain? You hunted it yourself?” Aunty Xie’s expression was of shock. “Are you kidding me?” Aunty Xie asked again.

It made Xu Qing a little confused, “Yes, it was me. What’s the matter?”

Aunty Xie, with a serious expression, looked at Xu Qing’s messy hair and unkempt appearance. He then carefully looked at Xu Qing’s small face full of red bumps, umm, it’s still the same person.

“Hey, brother Qing, the pimples on your face don’t seem to be that red anymore.” Aunty Xie, who discovered this phenomenon, called out in surprise.

Xu Qing stretched out his fingers and touched the red bumps on his face following Aunty Xie’s words, “Well, they are a little less than before.”

The spring water has already exhausted the toxins accumulated on his face for many years. Even if he doesn’t need to wash his face in the future with the spring water, as long as he doesn’t eat too much spicy food, he will be fine after a while. So, he is more excited than Aunty Xie to discover this phenomenon. But, compared to Aunty Xie, he was much calmer.

Aunty Xie was so happy that he didn’t even realize it. In his eyes, as long as brother doesn’t have those scary red bumps on his face, he would look much better than other gers in the village. You should know that when brother was young, he looked the most outstanding in the entire village; no worse than others.
