Yu Tang's veins bulged: You'd better shut up right now!
Chapter 12
Died for the villain for the eighth time (12)
Yu Tang was visibly listless, unable to sleep until late at night and having to get up again a few hours later to take Mu Nancheng to town.
The town's hospital doesn't have very good medical conditions; it can't perform brain CT scans, so doctors have to rely on their subjective judgment.
The doctor said Mu Nancheng didn't have any major problems and only prescribed some painkillers for him to take first.
If all else fails, you'll have to go to a hospital in the city.
I need to go to the city, but I definitely can't go now.
After taking Mu Nancheng out the door, Yu Tang said, "After the New Year, we'll save up some money and then take you to the city. We'll get you a proper medical checkup then."
"No rush." Over the past six months, Mu Nancheng's silliness has lessened considerably, but he remains very well-behaved.
After her argument with Yu Tang ended yesterday, she became even more clingy to him, attracting a lot of attention when she went to the doctor.
"It doesn't hurt that much anymore..."
Yu Tang ruffled his hair: "You still have to see what you need to see."
"But we can't see it today. Let's go explore the town and see if there's anything you like."
"good!"
When it comes to things he likes, in Mu Nancheng's eyes, they are inevitably related to food.
In winter, the streets are never short of vendors selling candied hawthorn berries.
Every time Mu Nancheng saw them, he would pester Yu Tang for a string of them, and this time was no exception.
But this time, the moment Mu Nancheng took the candied hawthorn from Yu Tang's hand, he suddenly froze.
Your Highness, candied hawthorn is a specialty of our northern city. You live in the south, so you must have never eaten it before.
Would you like to try some?
A familiar voice echoed in his mind, and Mu Nancheng looked at the man in front of him, his eyes suddenly welling up with tears.
He couldn't help but say, "General, you've finally deigned to come see me."
But in an instant, he returned to normal, took a big bite of the candied hawthorn, and smiled with his eyes narrowed: "So delicious!"
"Ahhh! Xiao Lin! It's Xiao Lin this time!"
Xiao Jin was so excited she could hardly speak: "Wow, it's really like opening a blind box! You never know which villain will appear next!"
Yu Tang's drowsiness was dispelled by Mu Nancheng's sudden words.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to be overjoyed or worried.
But a bittersweet feeling welled up inside me.
It can be said that, apart from Xiaoxiao, he had many regrets about the other villains.
Thinking back to the night of his wedding, when Xiao Lin grabbed his finger and begged him not to leave, he still felt heartbroken.
Trying to compose herself, Yu Tang took Mu Nancheng's hand.
But she didn't mention who the other person resembled. Instead, she quietly took the boy's hand, bought him his favorite foods, took him to play the games he wanted to play, and finally drove him home. By then, the sun was almost setting.
It's a long way from the town back to Sanyu Village, all along a dirt road with wasteland and no houses along the way.
The setting sun was as red as blood. Yu Tang rode slowly, while Mu Nancheng hummed a happy song behind him.
Suddenly, a dozen or so men walked towards them and rudely blocked their way.
The bicycle was forced to stop, and Yu Tang looked warily at the group of men holding sticks: "What do you want?"
A short man stepped out from the group, and Yu Tang immediately recognized him as the man she had scolded and driven away on the street that day.
He immediately realized that this person was still determined to cause trouble for Mu Nancheng.
"Your name is Yu Tang, right?" the short man said. "I've investigated everything. You live in Sanyu Village. Your parents died early, and you're their only son. This kid only came to live with you half a year ago. He's not your biological brother at all."
"I advise you to keep him here if you know what's good for you, so we brothers can deal with him as we see fit. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Yu Tang frowned.
He originally intended for Mu Nancheng to hide in the bamboo basket while he dealt with these people.
As a result, Mu Nancheng immediately grabbed the edge and jumped out.
She blocked Yu Tang's way, adopting a mother hen protecting her chicks posture: "None of you will bully Tang Tang!"
In the past six months, he has grown quite a bit taller, but his physique is still thin and bony, making him completely unappealing to these dark-skinned, muscular men.
Sure enough, the men laughed out loud when they heard his words.
They pointed at Mu Nancheng and asked the short man, "Old Xu, do we even need to lift a finger for this kid?"
"In short, if you want to take the money, you have to make sure everything goes smoothly!" Old Xu glared at them and ordered them to surround Yu Tang and the other man. He said fiercely, "Hurry up and do it. Don't hold back on Yu Tang. If you kill him, find a place to bury him and no one will find out!"
Yu Tang took a deep breath, pulled Mu Nancheng over, pressed the boy's head down, and whispered in his ear, "Listen to me, squat down."
Mu Nancheng's ears itched, and his face couldn't help but turn a little red.
Unconsciously, they obediently squatted down following Yu Tang's movements.
Yu Tang then raised his hands in apology, saying, "Brother Xu, I was wrong before. I apologize to you."
"This person is definitely not my brother. You can take him away if you want."
"You can do whatever you want to him, as long as you let me go!"
As he spoke, he gestured with his foot for Mu Nancheng to squat down under the old bicycle.
"Tsk, at least you know what's good for you!" Old Xu couldn't help but sneer at him for adopting such a humble attitude. "But weren't you quite fierce when you were cursing me before?"
He pounded Yu Tang's shoulder with the wooden stick in his hand, forcing the man to bend over: "Now you know fear, huh?"
"Actually, I don't necessarily want to kill you. How about this," Old Xu said, "If you lick my shoes clean and shout 'Grandpa, I was wrong' three times..."
But he didn't expect that Yu Tang would interrupt him right after he got to this point.
The man laughed and said, "Oh, my good grandson, if you know you were wrong, you're a good boy from Grandpa."
Everyone was stunned.
"Pfft..." After a few seconds, Mu Nancheng burst out laughing, and even covering his mouth couldn't stop the laughter.
Enraged, Lao Xu immediately raised his wooden stick to beat Yu Tang.
Unexpectedly, Yu Tang pressed down on the shaft, rendering him unable to move an inch.
Yu Tang seized the wooden stick and swung it at Lao Xu, then stretched out his long leg and kicked the man to the ground.
The people around him reacted to Lao Xu's groans and swung their sticks at Yu Tang.
Yu Tang calmly defended and countered, striking with ruthless precision and speed, showing no mercy.
Within five minutes, he had knocked down all those who were attacking him.
After all, he possesses memories of these several worlds.
The first world-class boxing champion, the fourth world-class decisive general, the fifth world-class violent angel, and the seventh world-class all-around imperial general—with so many identities to back him up.
If you can't even beat these few thugs, then you've lived in vain.
With a sigh of relief, Yu Tang threw away the wooden stick and turned to pull Mu Nancheng. Looking at the boy, he saw that his eyes were full of admiration.
"Tangtang, you're so amazing!"
Yu Tang patted his head: "It's so-so."
He said, "Let's go home..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was pulled down by Mu Nancheng, whose expression changed drastically.
The boy flipped over and pinned him down, then brought the wooden stick down on Mu Nancheng's head right in front of Yu Tang.
Blood dripped down his forehead.
Yu Tang's eyes widened. He put Mu Nancheng aside, grabbed a wooden stick, swung it around, and started beating the man who had attacked him!
You fucking bastard!
He was hit several times before Xiao Jin stopped him, and that's when he came to his senses.
[Host, Mu Nancheng seems a bit off!]
After hearing Xiao Jin's words, Yu Tang turned to look at Mu Nancheng.
They found the boy clutching his bleeding head, looking around blankly.
His gaze gradually turned cold.
He asked Yu Tang, "Where is this? And who are you?"
Meanwhile, Xiao Jin cried out in shock within Yu Tang's consciousness: "Holy crap! Host, the favorability rating has been reset to zero!"
Yu Tang: ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿
Chapter 13
Died for the villain for the eighth time (13)
Yu Tang stood there, stunned, still holding the blood-stained wooden stick in his hand.
Mu Nancheng's gaze fell on the wooden stick, and he reached out to touch the blood on his head.
His gaze instantly turned even more ruthless.
At the same time, Xiao Jin yelled: [Holy crap! My favorability rating has dropped again! -10, -20... -100!]
Yu Tang:
He doesn't think you're the one who beat him up, does he?
This is a huge misunderstanding!
