When they went back, the bus was packed with people.
Yan Xiaoxi finally found a small space, opened her arms, and protected her brother inside so he wouldn't be bumped or feel crowded by anyone.
Except for herself, of course.
The brother and sister stuck together like a boat in the waves, rising and falling with the bumps of the bus and the sway of the crowd.
The delicate body in his arms was so soft and warm, her pretty cheeks were rosy with a touch of stubbornness, and her big black and white eyes were so clear, innocent and endearing.
Yan Yuchen's heart almost melted.
"Little sister, are you tired?"
With such an older brother who needs to be protected at every turn, how can a little girl who is a just minor not be tired?
Yan Xiaoxi smiled and said: "I'm tired, so brother, you have to get better soon. Don't give up on yourself, just think it's for me and our parents, okay?"
Yan Yuchen was silent for a moment and nodded.
When getting out of the bus, Yan Xiaoxi held his hand, pushed aside the crowd in front, and helped him open a passage.
"Little sister, do you really think I'm not as handsome as that guy who pestered you at the school gate just now?"
After getting off the car and walking for a while, Yan Yuchen suddenly couldn't help but ask.
Yan Xiaoxi was slightly startled, thought for a while, and felt a little confused: "This..."
"It's okay, tell me the truth."
Yan Yuchen looked at her seriously and said.
Yan Xiaoxi nodded and said "hmm".
But then she saw him rolling his eyes, covering his head with his hands. He leaned on her body, and said: "I'm feel so dizzy. I think I'm about to faint again."
Yan Xiaoxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately said: "Actually, I lied to you, brother, you are much more handsome than that guy."
Yan Yuchen returned to normal in an instant, pulled her into the community, and muttered: "I'm so hungry, I don't know if mom has prepared the meal."
Yan Xiaoxi pouted her lips and looked at him with contempt.
When the two returned home, what they saw was that the house was in a mess, as if a thief had entered the house, and everything in the house had been turned to pieces.
There were various things scattered on the floor.
On the sofa in the living room, besides his parents, there was also a middle-aged man wearing strange clothes sitting.
Behind the middle-aged man, there were two men in black standing, with a hint of coldness in their twinkling eyes, staring at the two brothers and sisters like poisonous snakes.
"Xiao Xi, take your brother out for dinner and come back after school tomorrow in the evening. We have some things to do."
Father Yan looked at the two of them with a trace of panic in his eyes, but his tone was very calm.
Yan Xiaoxi glanced at the blood at the corner of her mother's mouth. Her little hand holding Yan Yuchen trembled slightly, but a bright smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Okay dad, you guys get busy first."
Then she pulled Yan Yuchen to go out.
"Wait!"
The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa suddenly shouted coldly, and the two men in black standing behind him suddenly rushed over like ghosts and blocked the door.
Father Yan's expression changed, he stood up and looked at the middle-aged man and said angrily: "Yan Kuan, what do you want?"
The middle-aged man named Yan Kuan smiled sinisterly and said: "Yan Zicheng, I only knew that you had a short-lived son, but I didn't know that you had a beautiful daughter. You adopted this girl because you listened to the old man Zhuang, right? If so, you want to use yin to help yang, hoping to extend your son's life, huh?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Xiaoxi's body suddenly trembled, and she looked at her father with a pale face.
Yan Yuchen held her little hand tightly, feeling a little tight in his chest.
Father Yan said angrily: "Yan Kuan, don't talk nonsense! I, Yan Zicheng, have already left Xieyang Valley and been driven out by the Yan family. I have nothing to do with it anymore. Why are you bringing people here to threaten me now?"
Yan Kuan sneered and said: "Why am I bringing people here? Yan Zicheng, Yan Zicheng, it's okay for your family of three to leave, but why did bother to take that thing away? What qualifications do you, a wimp whose martial arts have been abolished, have to obtain what all the forces in Xieyang Valley desperately want?"
Father Yan said with a gloomy face: "I don't know what you are talking about. When my family of three left Xieyang Valley, we took nothing except our own things. This is not Xieyang Valley. There are laws here. You trespassed into private house, you even injured my wife, aren't you afraid of the Yan family's clan rules?"
Yan Kuan's lips showed a touch of mockery, and he said in a sinister voice: "As long as I take that thing back, even if I kill all your family members, no one in the Yan family will dare to blame me!"
After saying that, he suddenly stood up and rushed in front of Yan Yuchen, grabbed his neck, turned to face the pale father Yan and said: "Yan Zicheng, you are so anxious to let your son leave, and that thing is not in your possession. It's not on your body, hehe, then..."
"Bad guy! Let go of my brother!"
When Yan Xiaoxi saw him pinching her brother's neck, she screamed, rushed forward, held his wrist and bit down hard!
Yan Kuan's eyes flashed with sternness, and he grabbed her hair with his other hand and threw her hard against the opposite wall.
"Xiao Xi!"
Seeing this, Mother Yan's face changed drastically. Regardless of her injuries, she quickly rushed over and hugged her. With a "bang", the two of them hit the hard wall together, with blood overflowing from their mouths, and rolled down on the ground.
"Yan Kuan! You beast!"
Father Yan's eyes were about to burst, and he wanted to pounce on him with all his strength, but he was held down by the two men in black, one on the left and one on the right, unable to move at all.
"Hmph, you're just a loser with crippled martial arts, yet you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me. You really don't know your place!"
Yan Kuan glanced at Father Yan contemptuously, stretched out his hand and tore open the clothes on Yan Yuchen's chest. In a flash of light, a blue jade pendant appeared.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Seeing this jade pendant, Yan Kuan was ecstatic and burst out laughing. He pulled off the jade pendant and held it in his hand to watch greedily, his eyes full of excitement.
Yan Yuchen was still being choked by him, his face was flushed, and his breathing was almost stagnant. He struggled to look at his little sister and mother who were lying on the ground not far away, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. His scarlet eyes were full of anger and hatred!
"Yan Kuan! Now that you have snatched away Blue Phoenix Jade, I am not strong enough and have nothing to say. Chen'er is innocent. Please let him go quickly!"
With tears of humiliation in his eyes, Father Yan finally began to lower his head and beg.
Yan Kuan retracted his gaze from the Blue Phoenix Jade, looked up at Yan Yuchen who was about to suffocate, sneered, let go of his hand, and said: "Don't worry, he's just a little trash who can't even live a few more years. I'll get hands dirty if I kill him. Now that I have got the things I wanted and considering that you were once a member of the Yan family, I will spare your lives."
The two men in black heard the order, let go of Father Yan, went over and opened the door.
Yan Kuan was very proud and was about to leave when Father Yan suddenly stared at him and said in a trembling tone: "Yan Kuan, I am no longer a threat to you. Can you tell me who it was that injured my wife, made my son seriously ill after birth, and shortened his lifespan? Who is it?"
Yan Kuan stopped, turned his head and looked at him with a smile, and said: "It doesn't matter if I tell you, anyway, you will never be able to get revenge in your life. It just so happens that I am in a good mood today. You clearly got the Blue Phoenix Jade, but you refused to hand it over. So not only other forces wanted to kill you, but the Yan family also had murderous intentions against you."
Father Yan smiled miserably and said: "I should have left the Yan family a long ago, but I didn't listen to others' advice at the time, thinking that the Yan family would not attack their own people. I promised someone else to keep this jade pendant for her temporarily, it is not mine. How could I give the pendent to you? Pity my wife and children for being implicated by me..."
Yan Kuan sneered and said: "The people who attacked all had their faces covered. There were third and fourth sons from the Yan family. I don't know about the other families."
After that, he took the two men in black and left.
Father Yan stood there, his body trembling, his face full of regret and pain.
His wife and son were seriously injured, and now even the Blue Phoenix Jade is stolen. He feels sorry for his family and friends, and his heart is filled with sadness and guilt.
Yan Yuchen went over and helped up his unconscious little sister and mother. Looking at the blood at the corners of their mouths, thinking about what his father had just said to the middle-aged man, his eyes were full of resentment.
It turns out that the inexhaustible root causes of the disease in my mother and my fate of not living past twenty were all caused by the man named Yan Kuan and the people in Xieyang Valley!
Before his rebirth, he never heard about this.
But now after being reborn, he finally knows.
Seeing the tears on his father's face and his appearance as if he had aged for several years, he was heartbroken.
As a son, he cannot share his father's worries and avenge his mother. How is he different from a pig or a dog?
"It's a pity that my body..."
