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

"Grandma, save me!" Dacheng is also a coward. He only dares to speak loudly because his grandma is around.

Liu Fengxian stood on tiptoe and looked outside, "Dacheng, Dacheng... let me go!"

Ye Xunqing held on tightly, "Auntie, listen to me, it's okay, it's just a fight between kids, it's not fatal. Isn't that what Dacheng and the others usually do in the village?"

Dacheng was the child Liu Fengxian had raised. She knew her child best. She knew whether he was just playing around or was really bullying others.

But Dacheng was tall and strong, and usually bullied others without suffering any loss himself, so Liu Fengxian ignored him. She would argue with anyone who came to settle a score with them.

Now that her own child was suffering, Liu Fengxian felt both distressed and angry, but the little bitch Ye Xunqing kept blocking her, and she couldn't get to the big city at all.

Ye Xunqing turned to Xie Zhiyan and said, "Zhizhi, you guys should stop playing. Finish it early so we can eat early."

His tone was not to urge Xie Zhiyan, but to remind Xie Zhiyan to hurry up and then we would eat.

Xie Zhiyan was already hungry, so he dragged Dacheng directly to the canal at the door and said, "This canal is connected to the one where you lost your cotton-padded jacket. I'm going to take you down now so you can quickly retrieve it."

Seeing that he was about to throw the city down, Ye Xunqing immediately warned him, "That's enough. Don't let him freeze to death."

In the middle of winter, if he fell into the water, he would at least get seriously ill if not die. Ye Xunqing didn't want to hear Liu Fengxian's noise again.

Xie Zhiyan took it in, so he curled his lips and smiled, then stripped Dacheng of his clothes again, leaving only his upper body.

"Hey, that woman, do you want to keep this dress?" Xie Zhiyan said with a wicked smile, holding the dress. "If you don't want it, I'll throw it away."

Liu Fengxian's eyes widened, "How dare you!"

Ye Xunqing let go of Liu Fengxian, and Liu Fengxian ran to Xie Zhiyan like the wind, raising her hand to slap Xie Zhiyan.

At this moment, Guard Li suddenly appeared from nowhere, holding a short knife in front of Liu Fengxian and shouting, "How dare you!"

Liu Fengxian was so frightened that she almost fainted. "Ah, what a ghost!"

Guard Li was dressed in black and looked like a ghost. He suddenly appeared, and it was indeed like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

Ye Xunqing leaned against the door and smiled, "Auntie, I've already told you, this is just a fight between children, harmless. Look, you insisted on interfering. Now look, the adults are here to settle the score with you."

"Step back." Xie Zhiyan said lightly.

Guard Li immediately stood to the side and gave way to the young master.

Xie Zhiyan said, "Do you want these clothes? If not, I'll take them back and burn them."

Burning clothes is unlucky. Generally, clothes are only burned after someone dies.

"Yes, of course!" Liu Fengxian snatched the clothes and ran away with her precious grandson.

So scary, that man in black is so scary, his knife is so sharp, it's obviously a good knife for killing people.

When the onlookers saw the knives being used, they knew that these people were not simple people, so they dared not watch anymore and took their children home.

"Stop it." Ye Xunqing said calmly, "Brother Li, call your brothers in for dinner."

Guard Li nodded slightly, "Thank you, sir."

Xie Zhiyan changed his cold and arrogant expression, turned around and put on a bright smile, and happily went to find Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, let's eat quickly. The braised meat your brother made is delicious. I just tasted it for you."

Ye Xunqing said, "I was wondering where you'd been. Turns out you were just trying to steal some food. Don't do that next time."

Xie Zhiyan chuckled, "The meat you cook is delicious."

"Of course, my dishes all have exclusive secret recipes." Ye Xunqing said with a smile: "After lunch, take a rest, practice calligraphy in the afternoon, and don't go out to play. You just go out for a while and cause me so much trouble."

Xie Zhiyan said, "Don't be afraid. Guard Li and his men are very powerful. No one will bully you again."

Ye Xunqing raised his eyebrows, "It's really quite impressive."

You should find a way to let them stay for a while longer, so that if the bandits in Dafang Mountain come to cause trouble, these guards can still hold them off.

Ye Xunqing was not afraid of these guards at all. As long as he had done nothing wrong, he would not be afraid of ghosts knocking on his door. He had no bad intentions towards them and he took good care of the young master. He believed that these people would not cause trouble for them.

But Ye Hongxia was different. She had never encountered such a situation before, so when Guard Li drew his sword, she lost half of her soul and her face turned pale.

Ye Xunqing saw her still standing at the door, so he called her and said, "Mother, it's time to eat."

Ye Hongxia was stunned and did not respond to Ye Xunqing's words.

Ye Xunqing walked back to find her, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Hongxia grabbed Ye Xunqing's hand, "Xiaoqing, these people, these people..."

Seeing her hands trembling, Ye Xunqing held her hands tightly and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, they are all guests at our home and will not hurt us."

Ye Hongxia was still scared. She had never seen such a person before.

Ye Xunqing pulled her back and said, "Don't worry, Ah Heng and I are here."

Ye Hongxia sighed, "Okay, you guys should be careful too."

Ye Xunqing looked at the other three guards who suddenly appeared and chuckled, "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. If we don't do anything bad to others, they won't bother us either."

Although Ye Hongxia was worried, she didn't say anything more because she was afraid of upsetting those masters.

"Second sister-in-law, did you make braised pork?" Liu Xiaojing sniffed, "I want some too."

Ye Xunqing smiled and said, "I see. Go get Xiao Xu'er and make him some steamed eggs with minced meat."

"I want some steamed egg with minced meat, too," Xie Zhiyan shouted from the kitchen. "I want a big bowl."

Ye Xunqing was helpless, "Yes, yes, I'll give you the biggest bowl."

Luckily he made an extra one.

Xie Zhiyan is a big eater, even more than Ye Xunqing. He can eat a big bowl of rice and a lot of dishes in one meal.

But he also consumes a lot of energy, as he has to practice martial arts every day, and each practice session can take several hours.

So even though he eats a lot, he is not fat, he is just taller than the average guy.

After dinner, Xie Zhiyan and Ye Xunbai played in the yard for a while, and then went back to take a nap.

Ye Xunqing sat at the table and wrote for them. This was their afternoon homework.

"Mr. Ye." Guard Li suddenly appeared in front of the table, bowed to Ye Xunqing, and then took out a thin book. "This is a thank you gift."

Ye Xunqing glanced at it and asked, "Why are you giving this to me?"

Guard Li replied, "If you can learn even 30% of the characters in the book, the book will belong to you, sir. My prince and the commander will also give you a generous reward."

Ye Xunqing picked up the book and shook it, "Is this what your prince meant?"

Guard Li replied, "That was my idea. Commander Zhao said that everything outside of the city should be handled by me."

Ye Xunqing understood. He accepted the book and said, "I'll do my best."

Regardless of whether he could learn it or not, he accepted it first. And for Ye Xunqing, the more books the better, and the better for free.
