Shang Tong and Nangong Qian did not know what schemes the people in the village were plotting. The two of them were currently watching Da Bao practice martial arts in front of the simple and crude house. At this age, it was a good time for a child to practice martial arts, not to mention Da Bao was not only smart but also clever.
After practicing a set of punches, Big Treasure walked to Shang Wuxin's side with a face full of sweat, threw his head back and giggled, "Sis, how's Big Treasure's punches? Great Treasure, aren't you smart! " Every time Big Treasure did something, he would come to Shang Wuxin to seek encouragement, but Shang Wuxin just couldn't be considered a good elder sister.
"Not bad!" However, regardless of whether it was Shang or his own people, they were all rare geniuses, so Big Treasure's improvement was not even close to being worthy of his notice. Even though she was trying her best to accept a child, she was still unfamiliar with it, and it was fortunate that Big Treasure was a sensible child. He did not know how many times he cried because of Shang Wuxin's attitude.
Big Treasure pouted, but in his heart, he made up his mind to work even harder next time. He would definitely let his sister praise him. Thinking of Da Bao, he prepared to continue his training. However, he was lifted up by Nangong Qian. With an ice-cold voice, he said, "Too much is too little!"
Big Brother Wang and Big Sis Wang came out of the house at this time. After a few days of recuperation, Big Brother Wang's body was fine. Besides, Big Brother Wang already knew some medical skills, so it was faster for him to recover.
"Big Treasure, Big Brother means that you can't learn too much at once. You have to take your time, or else you won't be able to learn anything!" Brother Wang looked at his own child with gratitude. Initially, he had only allowed him to follow Nangong Qian to learn martial arts for the sake of his child's protection in the future, but he did not expect this child to be able to learn and endure hardships. He did not wish for his child to be better.
Big Treasure nodded, allowing his Mother to wipe off his sweat. At this time, Shang's heart was filled with an indescribable feeling when looking at the relationship between Mother and son. It was as if she was envious when looking at the relationship between Yinyin and Ye Yizhi, whether in his previous life or his current life, he had never experienced maternal love. That was why he couldn't bear to let go of that feeling after finding it on Yinyin's body. He even ignored the consequences to save Yinyin.
"When Mother was still alive, he had also wiped my sweat this way. He would work hard to protect Lian'er and me; I had almost forgotten Mother's appearance, but I had never forgotten Mother's warm hands!"
Nangong Qian knew that Shang Xin and his Mother didn't have much to do with each other after the death of the Queen of Autumn. The reason why Nangong Qian brought up his story was to make Shang Wuxin not feel envious, because everyone's Mother loved children. However, he didn't expect Shang Wuxin to sneer after hearing what Nangong Qian had said, "There will always be accidents in this world!"
Although he did not understand the reason for Shang's unintentional sneer, but someone as intelligent as Nangong Qian felt that it was related to the role of his Mother just by thinking about it. Thinking about the late Empress Qiu, Nangong Qian suddenly felt that perhaps things were not as simple as it seemed.
"Sister, brother, the food has been prepared. Hurry up and go eat!" Even though the two of them had lived here for free for so long, as a woman, Madam Wang had never looked down on them. She helped the two of them as she always did. It had to be known that Nangong Qian and Shang did not know how to cook and even washing clothes was something Nangong Qian could not do later on. The two of them also knew that their arrival would be a burden to their already poor families.
Thus, these few days, when the two of them went to light a fire to create thick smoke, they would casually hunt some prey. Although it was two people, in reality, it was only Nangong Qian who was hunting. Nangong Qian's overbearing attitude did not allow Shang to toil, once when Shang did not care that his body was not completely healed and he wanted to catch a prey, the two of them spent a long time in the forest, but no one knew what happened to the two of them, all they knew was that Shang did not care when he left the forest, his lips were red and swollen.
"En!" Nangong Qian took Shang Xin's hand and was about to enter the house to eat, but who would've thought that at this moment, a burst of noises could be heard. Nangong Qian held onto Shang Xin's hand and pulled him into his embrace, then warned him in a warning tone, "No matter what happens, I'm here! You are not allowed to use force! "
Both of their injuries had not fully healed yet. Nangong Qian was a man, so he did not care much about the scars on his back, but Shang Wuxin's body, which was already weak due to the sudden fall, was even weaker now, and even her internal injuries had not recovered yet. Shang Wuxin's recovery ability was much worse than Nangong Qian's, at least, the wound on Nangong Qian's back had long formed scabs, but Shang Wuxin's back had not only not recovered, but instead was bruised.
She knew that Nangong Qian was concerned about her and wanted to protect her. She understood but might not be able to accept this. She had never been a little white flower, but she was a towering tree that could withstand all the wind and rain.
Nangong Qian didn't expect Shang to be so obedient. He was just worried that he would say something. If there really was a problem, he would be more distracted and take better care of himself. Shang didn't think that Nangong Qian didn't know, but Nangong Qian knew that there was something wrong with Shang Wuxin's body these days. For example, when they were sleeping, Shang Wuxin was so stuffy that he wanted to vomit.
"Big Brother Wang, Big Sis Wang, please bring Dabao in!" Since these ignorant people dared to ignore his and Nangong Qian's warnings to appear here, it meant that they were very determined. Perhaps Shang didn't want to kill or break the peace in the past, but now...
When Eldest Brother Wang and Eldest Sister-in-Law saw a group of villagers come running over, even a few women joined in to make a fool of themselves. This made the already loathing of the village even more so for the couple.
"Dabao, hurry up and go into the house and hide!" Aunt Wang let go of the child and said to Shang Wuxin, "Sister, since you're living in our house, how can we let you face these people alone? Although we don't know any martial arts, we still have some strength to help!"
"Big Treasure won't leave. Big Treasure will protect Father, Mother, and Big Sister!" Da Bao was unexpectedly not afraid of her. Instead, he was standing in front of her. She looked at him with red eyes. It was them, her parents, that were useless to let a child this young face everything.
Looking at the family of three's attitude, Shang Bin and Nangong Qian, who were standing in front of the house with torches in their hands, suddenly felt impatient. Her originally lacking kindness had given them to the village, but she did not expect that kindness did not exist.
Compared to the last group of ten or so people, the entire village was probably moving by now. The villagers had surrounded the three small nests, and the strong man stood in front and looked at Shang Xin and Nangong Qian. When he saw Shang Xin and Nangong Qian, he was obviously shocked and greedy, but when he looked at Nangong Qian, he was actually fearful.
"Kill them!" They killed the Village Chief. They are unknown people, and will bring calamity to the village! " A woman shouted. Shang Bin could tell that this woman was the one who had been eyeing Nangong Qian. Shang Bin had never expected that a woman from the village would have such malicious thoughts.
There were a lot of people who echoed her words. Nangong Qian suddenly lost his patience when he saw these people. It was useless to give out warnings in this village. If they were to come and cause a ruckus every two or three days, Nangong Qian would be in a bad mood.
These villagers no longer only wanted to kill them, they also wanted to kill Brother Wang's family. If they did not kill this kind of person, perhaps she and Nangong Qian would be fine, but their family would be in danger from now on.
"Kill them!" Burn them to death! " As he said this, the villagers threw their torches outside the three rooms, and the dry grass was instantly set on fire. Big Brother Wang saw that the villagers' faces were a little crazy, and his eyes suddenly turned red; this was where their village was supposed to be for the rest of his life. Big Treasure looked at the fire with fear. Looking at the ferocious villagers, he suddenly grew up at such a young age.
The surrounding fire did not make Shang Xin and Nangong Qian flustered. Just as Nangong Qian took out his short blade and was about to attack, a rumbling sound came from not too far away. It sounded like the world was falling apart.
Such a sound was too terrifying, causing the entire village to cover their heads in fear as they pointed at the two people standing in the middle of the fire, "They really are demons! Kill them or else our entire village will be in trouble!" The villagers started rioting, all of them looking at Shang Wuxin and Nangong Qian with mad killing intent.
When Nangong Qian heard such a big commotion, he revealed a smile. Looking at Shang Wuxin beside him, he felt more relaxed. He had finally waited for someone to arrive.
Shang's long hair, which was originally loose, suddenly stood on end. A delicate woman turned into a pine tree in an instant. Shang turned to Great Treasure who was beside him and said, "Great Treasure, remember to call me Big Brother from now on!"
Big Treasure wanted to ask why, but when he saw Shang Wuxin's serious face, unlike the soft and gentle Shang that these days, it made him seem like he was afraid to submit, he nodded and meekly called out, "Big Brother!"
Nangong Qian knew that now was not the time to expose Shang Wuxin's side. Seeing so many villagers, Nangong Qian's killing intent surged up, but Shang Wuxin only smiled and whispered something into Nangong Qian's ear. Then, he saw the Nangong suddenly move out of the flames and appear beside the villagers.
One by one, the villagers fell to the ground, but if one looked carefully, they would see that these villagers had only fainted but did not die. Of course, Nangong Qian's attack was not light, even if they woke up they would still need some time to recover. It was not that there were no villagers who wanted to resist, but compared to the powerful Nangong Qian, it was nothing.
When all the villagers fell to the ground, Nangong Qian pulled Shang by the hand and walked out of the house that was surrounded by fire. Right at this moment, a series of hualala sounds rang out and a group of people suddenly appeared in front of the two.
Dauntless and the rest brought the Blood Shang Army to their knees, their voices choked with sobs. "We pay our respects to the crown prince!"
Big Brother Wang and Madam Wang were suddenly shocked. Even if they had never been out of the village before, they knew what the crown prince meant. Wasn't he just a man? Brother Wang noticed that Shang Wuxin had suddenly turned into a man and immediately understood. He turned to his sister-in-law and said, "They are two little brothers. Mother, you must remember them!"
Madam Wang was a woman, but she was clear about this kind of thing. She thought the two of them were of extraordinary status, but she didn't expect them to have such a noble status. She suddenly felt scared that her family might be annihilated, but she felt that she was overthinking it as she stood there looking at Shang's unfamiliar appearance.
Shang Tong did not pay any attention to the Blood Shang Army. Instead, he looked at the few men who were walking towards him …
