After leaving Jing Hua Yuan Snack Shop, Xuan Ming boarded a carriage bound for Huaqiao Village, driven by Xiao Lengyu.
After several months of training in Xuanyi Valley, Xiao Lengyu has transformed from a "county magistrate's daughter" who has never done housework to a "medicine boy" who can do all kinds of odd jobs.
Moreover, after Xuanming's treatment and several months of persistent medication, Xiao Lengyu's body has recovered to that of a normal man in the female-dominated country. He is no different from an ordinary person and can have daughters and raise children.
"Ouch~"
The rumbling carriage moved forward all the way. When it reached the big banyan tree at the intersection of Baishui Town, the road was blocked by a group of beggars, so Xiao Lengyu was forced to stop the carriage urgently.
[Big Banyan Tree: This was where the oxcart used to be parked when traveling between Yuqing Town and Huaqiao Village. It was also the place where Xiao Lengyu once chased Hua Qingcheng and was stepped on by her on the back.]
"Ayu, what happened?" Xuanming, who was drowsy in the carriage, was suddenly awakened by the sudden stop of the carriage.
"Second Elder, a group of beggars seem to be beating someone up and blocking the road." Xiao Lengyu said helplessly.
"How can this be possible!"
Xuanming was furious upon hearing this. It would have been fine if these beggars had assaulted him, but they had actually blocked his path and wasted his time. That was unforgivable...
"Ayu, drive them away!"
"Yes, Second Elder."
During the few months Xiao Lengyu stayed in Xuanyi Valley, he won Xuanming's favor with his cleverness and filial piety. Xuanming not only treated his illness but also taught him martial arts. Although the two of them were not officially master and apprentice, they had a close relationship.
Although Xiao Lengyu had only practiced martial arts for a few months and his aptitude was not as good as Han Yichen's, it was enough for him to deal with more than ten beggars who had no martial arts skills.
"Stop it! Get out of the way now, or I'll be rude to you!"
Although Xiao Lengyu is a man from a country where women are superior, he is very strong and sturdy, standing at 193 cm. Just standing there, he gives people a very oppressive feeling.
The beggars who were beating people were stunned when they saw a big man suddenly coming. But when they saw that he was alone, they ignored him and continued to beat the disheveled and ragged man lying on the ground.
"Ayu, I only give you twenty breaths of time..." Xuanming's impatient words floated out slowly from the carriage.
"Yes, Second Elder."
Xiao Lengyu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and then the fingers of both hands began to crackle.
"Bang"!
"Bang"!
"Bang"!
…
It only took Xiao Lengyu nineteen breaths to knock down more than ten beggars who were beating people and drive them all away.
"Okay, they've all left, you can go too." Xiao Lengyu said to the man who was being beaten on the ground, then turned around and planned to continue driving the carriage.
"Yu'er~"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Lengyu had just taken two steps when a very familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lengyu turned around abruptly and looked in disbelief at the middle-aged man lying on the ground with a bruised face and an unclear appearance.
But he was unkempt, and his clothes were tattered and thin. Even in the south, he would be shivering from the cold.
"father?"
Xiao Lengyu called out tentatively, then leaned over and squatted in front of the middle-aged man, looking at him in surprise.
"Yu'er, Dad... Dad is sorry for you! Wuuuu..." The middle-aged man said while crying.
"Dad, why... did you become so miserable?"
Xiao Lengyu looked at Yang Wenqing, his biological father, the man who raised him as a girl and brought him endless pain, with mixed feelings. Yang Wenqing was a homeless man who once lived a refined life but was now beaten by beggars.
"Yu'er~"
"Dad deserves what he has today. I am sorry for you. I am too embarrassed to see you."
Yang Wenqing's eyes were evasive. He covered his face with one hand and struggled to get up from the ground, trying to escape from his son's sight.
"Dad~"
"What happened?"
In the end, Xiao Lengyu couldn't bear to see his own father in such a miserable state, so he pulled him back.
Aside from the outrageous mistake of raising him as a girl, his father had never treated him unfairly in other aspects and even loved him very much. Xiao Lengyu still had feelings for Yang Wenqing.
"Your mother... she divorced me after she found out you were actually a man. I had no choice but to return to my father's house and ask your aunt to take me in..."
As Yang Wenqing spoke, she covered her tears with her sleeves.
"Life under someone else's roof isn't easy. Your grandmother and grandfather are both dead. Now, your uncle is in charge of the household expenses. He said that a son who is married off is like spilled water, and there's no reason for him to return to his father's house to eat for free..."
"After returning to the Yang Mansion, I got up the earliest and went to bed the latest every day, doing the most tiring servant work, and only had two bowls of cold rice and cold dishes a day. Later, your uncle found a reason and said that I was dishonest and stole his jewelry, so he kicked me out..."
In a short while, Yang Wenqing burst into tears.
"Auntie...she doesn't care?"
Xiao Lengyu's resolute face darkened slightly. No matter what, his father was his aunt's biological brother, so why would he be so heartless?
"Yu'er, your mother was dismissed from her post a while ago and is no longer the magistrate of Fufeng County. Besides... she divorced me a long time ago. Your uncle has always been a snob. I am now worthless in his eyes. Naturally, he treats me like a piece of trash and can't wait to cut ties with me..."
"Dad is sorry! Seeing that you are doing well now, Dad... Dad is relieved." Yang Wenqing looked at Xiao Lengyu reluctantly, then turned around and limped away.
