Wang Yun Feng pushed everyone away and rushed outside, only seeing the injured and victims walking to and fro.
Juan Shu ran over: “Master, you called for me?”
Wang Yun Feng looked at him strangely: “Who said I was looking for you?”
“Ah,” Juan Shu scratched his head, looking left and right, again smiling: “Master didn’t you call a random lady to get me? What’s going on?”
Wang Yun Feng grabbed hold of him: “Where is the mistress?”
Juan Shu appeared to not have heard what he said: “After she spoke she left.” Juan Shu seemed very busy, in his hand he still held herbal medicine, as he muttered if the master is fine then I’ll get on, after if there’s nothing then don’t randomly call for me, I’m so busy I’m about to die, master you have a beautiful woman to accompany you but don’t come out to show off, I’m worried you’ll fail miserably…
Juan Shu’s mouth was like a parrot’s, once it’s open it would incessantly blather on. Wang Yun Feng was used to him prattling on, he didn’t pay attention, he looked around once more to see if he could truly see that familiar person’s shadow, he could only return to the house.
At that moment, a boy climbed out from the small table, his tiny claws scratching over his entire body, seeing Wang Yun Feng he skipped over: “Itchy!”
Wang Yun Feng reached over pushing aside Xia Fen’s clothes, only seeing his tender flesh had been scratched to a bulging red, he worryingly felt Xia Fen’s forehead, he didn’t have a fever. Xia Fen’s body had been itching for a while, today he truly couldn’t bear it, he slapped Wang Yun Feng’s hand away, under the gaze of everyone he began to take off all his clothes to scratch the itch.
Hua Bao Xia stood extremely close to Wang Yun Feng, not knowing Xia Fen’s true identity.
Usually she only saw other people walk by Xia Fen, merely thinking the other person was like herself a young overlord from some family who came here to play, and did not take him seriously. After all, when Wang Yun Feng worked, Xia Fen understood very well he couldn’t go stir up trouble as he wished, otherwise his bottom would meet calamity. So, Hua Bao Xia when she saw this child whine completely without respect to Wang Yun Feng, was prepared to assume an attitude to teach Xia Fen a lesson. Before she could open her mouth, Xia Fen had already one by one took of two clothes, immediately a strange odour arose in the house, as if…
“It smells so bad!” Hua Bao Xia used her perfumed handkerchief to cover her nose, her face even more pale she took a few steps back. The maids’ noses had already been long ago numbed by the refugee like camp, now they only felt that the smell emitting from Xia Fen taking off his clothes smelled even worse, hearing their own young lady cry out in fear they immediately supported her up. Two maids and an invaluable young lady withdrew to the door as if avoiding snakes and scorpions, Hua Bao Xia shuddering pointed at Xia Fen and cried out in fear: “Quickly drive him away.”
Xia Fen shot a glance at that unfathomable woman. He hadn’t turned away from her body odour and go and shake up her home, she actually still dare to be rude to the master, too…
Wang Yun Feng seeing the corner of Xia Fen’s mouth twist up he knew this spoiled child was again itching to do something. His Highness the crown prince was a bad egg, he even corrupted his own son into a black leopard. Before when Xia Fen was unhappy with someone he would directly beat them up, now when Xia Fen was unpleased, he wouldn’t simply secretly pull down the other person’s trousers, he would also throw a mouthful of dirt into the other person’s mouth that they can’t even spit out.
It was too mischievous!
What was even more mischievous, Wang Yun Feng felt this was all the crown prince’s fault, and he as a father simply did not encourage him.
“A man amongst men, won’t bicker with a young woman.” Wang Yun Feng warned in a low voice. He wasn’t loud enough, but everyone in the house had their nose assailed by the stink, were all feeling rather dizzy, on hearing such words, it was as if a pebble had been thrown into a tranquil lake, startling Hua Bao Xia terribly, and the smell was unbearable.
Wang Yun Feng did not feel like taking them into consideration, occupied with taking all of Xia Fen’s clothes off, leaving him in his underpants, seeing fifth could be rubbed from his neck, waist, back and knee, that’s when he recalled how long his son hadn’t washed.
Of course, before by the sea, jumping into and swimming around a lap his whole body would wrinkle. Returning ashore, before he met Xia Ling Mei there were personal servants taking care of him. Arriving at Beiding city, the men in the Xia family had to practice martial arts, they bathed in the morning and evening. Xia Fen was a mischievous and troublesome child, from the start it was hard for him to be clean. But on reaching Zhuozhou, because Wang Yun Feng was busy, that he even forgot to eat, let alone to take a bath, truthfully he only scrubbed his body when it didn’t feel comfortable. When the crown prince was here,
Xia Fen would go to the tavern, the crown prince left, whatever way his father was treated,
Xia Fen was treated in that way, no one gave attention in taking care of him, even Juan Shu didn’t have the time to heat water and give him a bath. Adding it up, Xia Fen had already not entered a bathtub for around half a month. Not changed his clothes, not washed, in these disaster regions there were always some small bugs, biting and itchy, with dirt on top of that, the smell from his body was stronger and stronger, the smell of taking off those clothes, `ze`, there truly was nothing great about it.
He personally went to the side room rummaging through his own clean clothes to bundle Xia Fen up, again ordering someone to help call for Xiao Bai to heat up water for Xia Fen, on the way go the physicians to get some medicinal ingredients to get rid of rheumatism and boil it, give it to Xia Fen to soak in.
Xia Fen wore Wang Yun Feng’s long gown, the sleeves were long, the hem was also long, he felt it was novel. Wang Yun Feng continued to discuss proper business at one side, Xia Fen jumped about on the wooden couch behind him wearing the long gown. He was tired from playing, very vilely he went to hug Hua Bao Xia to poke her acupuncture point.
His father was very good at hitting pressure points, it was a moderate and not fatal form of martial arts; and Xia Fen himself knew how to chop off heads, it was the most overbearing and barbarous yet most direct way to save one’s own life. Now he lived with his father, sometimes he couldn’t help hit Wang Yun Feng’s acupuncture point. As a father he obviously knew what his son was thinking, he used the approach `You want to learn? What, you don’t want to learn, you can’t kill someone? I’m telling you son `sigh`, killing people is a job for thick people, do you know how scholars rather die than live? You don’t, I’ll tell you, as long as you learn to hit pressure points, you can make the other person laugh for three days and three nights laughing to death while still alive, and can make the other person cry for five days and five nights cry to death while still alive, and can make the other person starve to death unable to eat, make him unable to move so at last he’ll be roasted dry by the sun…what, you want to learn, that’s the right way!`
In reality, where is there a pressure point that can kill someone. Wang Yun Feng only wanted his son to not use bloody violence every time to deal with a problem.
As a result, Xia Fen exceedingly bad-hearted used Hua Bao Xia, the three mistress and servants as objects to practice hitting pressure points, making them now cry now laugh, now limp and powerless now groaning in pain. The maids were snivelling and overflowing with tears by the sneak attack, even the extremely dignified Hua Bao Xia complexion was flushed, gazing at Wang Yun Feng with anger and complain.
At night, the people who came and went from the house gradually decreased, when the smell of food could be smelled outside the house, Juan Shu entered carrying food, sweeping his eyes over the dishes with generous amounts of meat and fish from the Hua family, for the first time, he rather couldn’t help say these words to Wang Yun Feng: “Master, your forehead is dark, both your eyes are lifeless, you may have a bloody disaster, it might be best for you to not have these things that the Hua family sent, in case something happens.” Hence, not waiting for Wang Yun Feng to lift his head, and not waiting for Xia Fen to protest, he ran out carrying the delicious fine food, sharing and eating them with some bad-hearted scoundrels.
Xiao Bai had already long ago found time to boil a barrel of medicinal water, carrying the bathtub into the house, waiting for that father and son to finish eating dinner, then throwing Xia Fen into the hot water, using a chicken feather duster like thing to scrub hard Xia Fen from inside and out, up and down once over, then seeing the jet-black bath water, he turned to say to Wang Yun Feng: “Master, it’s not me, you are an assigned official of the court, not a Buddhist monk of the people. For your health, and our nose, please also clean yourself. Otherwise, you will regret it.”
“What regret?”
“Regret a beauty is in your arms, but turn her back on you because your body smell too bad.”
Wang Yun Feng spoke mildly angry: “What nonsense are you saying! Where is there a beauty here.”
Xiao Bai’s words you will regret this soon! Not listening to Xiao Bai, sooner or later you will suffer. Master, you just wait!
Xiao Bai rejoicing in other’s misfortune he left the house, turning he ran to Juan Shu to jabber, occasionally running to a certain place at a face pace.
Xia Ling Mei knew Wang Yun Feng did not have a lot of people at hand, this time she intentionally placed the shadow guards in plain sight, then as a voluntary citizen she registered her name in the book with Xiao Bai, again assigning tasks.
Xiao Bai and Juan Shu were like two giant dogs rushing to take credit for their achievements, repeatedly voicing their complaints following Xia Ling Mei: “Mistress, you have to urge the master. After coming to Zhuozhou he has only been resting four hours every day, whatever the victims eat, he will eat. Even better medicine wouldn’t be able to continuously support the master’s weary body, when he had just got to Zhuozhou, he fainted from being angered by those officials. If it was only the master then it’s fine, but the young master is growing, how can he eat these coarse grains…”
“Fen Er?”
“Ah, Mistress you didn’t know? The young master is here” quietly, “He came with His Highness the crown prince, after causing a major event, the crown prince left, the young master stayed behind. Have pity, the white and plump body obtained with difficulty in Beiding city, its become skinny having been here barely a month, seeming no different from the victims.”
“Now the young master would drool thinking of red braised pork, needing to practice martial arts, practice writing characters, and every day he’s forced by the master to learn lessons by heart, oh, sometimes the young master massage the master’s shoulders, his back, the sole young master of my house, from birth he ought to live comfortably, coming here he’s been reduced to a common person, not eating well, not sleeping enough, and has to work…”
Xia Ling Mei smiled yet not a smile casting a glance at the two family counsellors: “However I listen to your words they seem to be your complains, and not in the aid of the master and Fen Er?”
Juan Shu repeatedly gestured with his hands: “Mistress, you accuse us wrongly, we truly are worried for the master and the young master. We really are not complaining that we’re working too much, a meal without generous amounts of meal and fish, sleeping no longer than four hours…”
Xiao Bai added: “We are definitely not complaining there are no beautiful woman in their prime youth here, and we’re not homesick. Right, mistress, has Hei Zi come?”
Xia Ling Mei secretly sighed, these two scoundrels lying without blinking, are they actually loyal and devoted to the Wang family?
It was dark.
Today Xia Fen had no choice but to sleep with his daddy today, because his bedding had been taken by Xiao Bai to be washed. The November sky, it was cold but not enough for it to snow, it was out of the question that it was hot. Xia Fen’s clothes had all been taken away, right now he was using his father’s underpants as inner trousers, using his father’s inner top as an outer top. Then covering himself with the bedding he jumped up and down on his father’s bed, from time to time using his finger to jab in the air, experiencing the joyous feeling from hitting Hua Bao Xia this afternoon.
That only emitted the body odour of the fox Hua, she wasn’t as delicious smelling as him, hahaha!
“Fen Er, sleep.”
Wang Yun Feng entered, exhausted he took off his outer clothes, pushing his son down on the bed: “You’ll catch a cold, tomorrow I’ll get Juan Shu to bring you into the city to buy a few winter clothes, don’t keep the old ones.”
Xia Fen struggled free of his suppression, rolling on the bed once before saying: “I’m not cold.”
Wang Yun Feng already collapsed on the bed from exhaustion, stroking his head: “Fen Er listen to me.”
Xia Fen looked at his cheap father’s complexion, somewhat even paler than these past few days, he struggled away awkwardly, climbing into the bed to sleep properly. Wang Yun Feng in a daze tucked him in with the quilt, thinking about it, then pulled the child into his arms, with no time to speak he fell asleep.
It was the first time Xia Fen voluntarily allowed Wang Yun Feng to hold him to sleep, the warmth on his forehead was Wang Yun Feng’s breathing, a small hand of his was held in his big one, there was no place for one of his legs, he moved for a little bit before finally placing it on Wang Yun Feng’s belly. His foot was warm, his father’s belly was also warmed softly.
In the dark, Xia Fen smiled, as he was about to sleep, his ears pricked up suddenly.
The bedroom door was softly opened, a dexterous figure entered.
Xia Fen opened his mouth: “Mother?!”
