After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

It was quite a rare thing that a few outsiders came to the Feng family, and they came on horseback.

"I heard that a distant relative of the Feng family has become wealthy and is coming to visit them, riding a large horse and bringing with him a lot of treasures."

"What treasure? I heard they're here to give away a child."

"I heard that the boy was a child of the Feng family who was stranded outside."

"What, that child is Feng Jingheng's child? Does he have a child that old?"

Ye Xunqing was walking on the road with a basket on his shoulder, listening to the villagers talking about Xie Zhiyan and others. The more he listened, the more outrageous the talk became, even mentioning an illegitimate child.

Feng Jingheng is only twenty years old, how could he have a child that big?

"That's too outrageous." Ye Xunqing leaned over and said quietly, "Rumors stop with the wise. That child isn't ours. He just came here to play. Stop making wild guesses."

The person who spread the rumor touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "I heard it from others."

Ye Xunqing frowned and said, "Use your smart brain and think about it. How could our Ah Heng have a child that big?"

"That's right." The man smiled awkwardly and stopped spreading rumors.

Ye Xunqing carried a basket and walked towards his aunt's house. There were a few more people eating at home, so he had to buy some meat. He didn't know if his uncle had slaughtered the pig yet.

As soon as he arrived at his aunt's house, he saw his aunt coming out in a hurry.

"Aunt, where are you going?" Ye Xunqing asked.

As soon as Yang Qin saw him, she said anxiously, "I heard someone came to your house to collect the debt. What's going on? How did you end up owing money?"

Ye Xunqing: “…” It’s even more outrageous.

"He's not here to collect a debt. He's someone I met outside before." Ye Xunqing explained, "The kid is Xiaobai's friend. His family sent him here to play with Xiaobai. As for those men, they're the kid's bodyguards."

"Really?" Yang Qin was almost scared to death. She took all the money in the house, fearing that the debt collector would not be able to get the money and would hurt someone.

"Seriously!" Ye Xunqing reassured her, "Those guys are really guards, and they're not here to collect debts, they're here to give you money."

How could the Annan Palace be out of money? After dinner, Guard Li handed Ye Xunqing a bag of silver, saying that it was for their food expenses for the recent period, as well as the young master's living expenses.

Ye Xunqing's hands were weighed down. There was definitely more or less money in there, because the cost of living here was very low, food and drink were all provided by the family, and there was not much to buy.

Moreover, the little boy seemed to be easy to take care of and could eat a big bowl of soup and rice.

The other four guards were not picky either and enjoyed the fried bean curd sheets with pickled vegetables very much.

Originally, Ye Xunqing didn't want so much money, but Guard Li waved his hand and told him that he must take it. If it was not enough, he could ask him for more.

With so much money, living there for a year, let alone for a while, is not a problem.

Moreover, those people were very tactful. After dinner, they not only washed the dishes, but also cleaned the house inside and out, and even swept away the cobwebs on the door.

After the sweep, those people disappeared. Xie Zhiyan said they were nearby and would show up during dinner.

Ye Xunqing felt that these people were all masters, otherwise King Annan would not be willing to entrust his precious son to them.

As they are both the God of Wealth and bodyguards, Ye Xunqing has no reason to drive them away.

"Aunt, don't worry. Those guys are good people and won't hurt us." Ye Xunqing patted Yang Qin's hand. "By the way, Aunt, do you have any meat left? I'll buy some."

Yang Qin said, "No, your uncle is going to kill a pig tomorrow, come over and have the pig-killing dinner."

"Okay, then I'll come again tomorrow." Ye Xunqing gave the rice balls in the basket to his aunt, and went back with the empty basket.

On the way, Ye Xunqing met Ye Xilan, who came to play with Ye Xunbai.

Seeing her happy look, Ye Xunqing couldn't help but teasing her, "Lan Jie'er, you're late. Our Xiaobai has already started playing with his new friends."

Ye Xilan looked surprised. "What? A new friend?"

Ye Xunqing asked, "Didn't your father tell you? Xiaobai's new friend came from out of town to see him and is now at my house."

Ye Xilan felt like she was facing a formidable enemy, "No, I am Xiaobai's best friend!" After saying that, she ran out like the wind.

Ye Xunqing praised from behind: "Not bad, he's a good candidate for the 100-meter race."

Ye Xilan ran to the Feng family yard and saw two young men squatting in the corner at a glance, one wearing a lotus-colored cotton jacket and the other wearing a black jacket.

"Who are you?" Ye Xilan yelled.

Xie Zhiyan was so frightened that he dropped the stick in his hand. "Who are you? What are you yelling about?"

Ye Xilan rushed over and pulled Ye Xunbai to her side. "Xiaobai, why are you playing with him? Didn't you say you would play with me this afternoon?"

"Hmph!" Xie Zhiyan snorted, "Xiaobai and I are both brothers, so of course we play together! You're different from us, go play somewhere else."

"No way, Xiaobai is my best friend, he wants to play with me." Ye Xilan glared at Xie Zhiyan.

Xie Zhiyan was like a proud peacock, "Little Tu Jie'er, you are dressed so ugly and look so ugly, our beautiful Xiaobai won't play with you!"

"What?" Ye Xilan was very beautiful, but she was still young and not that pretty.

There is no ugly boy or girl.

This was the first time Ye Xilan had been called ugly. She was so angry, "You are the one who is ugly. Your whole family is ugly!"

"Nonsense! My father said he's the most handsome man in the universe! I'm the second most handsome man in the universe!" Xie Zhiyan was very confident. "You're the ugliest, uglier than the ugly duckling!"

"What ugly duckling?" Ye Xilan was confused. "You said I'm a duck?"

Xie Zhiyan replied: "My father said I was a swan, and those uglier than me were ugly ducklings."

"I'm so angry!" Ye Xilan stamped her feet in anger, "You actually said I was an ugly duck, I..."

Seeing her angry look, Xie Zhiyan suddenly had a bad idea. He squatted back, picked up something with two chopsticks, and then waved it in front of Ye Xilan.

"Ugly duck, quack, quack!" Xie Zhiyan put the thing forward, "Do you want to eat this?"

Ye Xilan looked closely and found that it was actually a big scorpion as long as a finger.

"Ah!" Ye Xilan is no longer a duck, she has become a screaming chicken.

"What happened?" Feng Jingheng came out of the house and saw Xie Zhiyan using a scorpion to scare Ye Xilan. "You, put the scorpion down!"

Xie Zhiyan threw the scorpion away obediently. "I just wanted to help Xiaobai catch the scorpion. I didn't mean anything else."

Feng Jingheng: "..." He hated children the most.

"Ah!" Ye Xilan screamed again, "You actually let it go!"

"What else?" Xie Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Ye Xilan almost fainted from anger.
