12 Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers
Huo Yan: I have experience in dealing with ghosts and gods.
"Qubing, Brother Qubing." After the short and stocky Su Wu crawled out of the dog hole, his eyes lit up when he saw Huo Qubing. He lifted his legs and clattered to follow Huo Qubing. "Hey, why are there two of you?"
Huo Qubing gave him two new half-liang coins① and happily introduced Huo Yan to him.
"This is Ah Yan, my younger brother. He paid for all the money we spent on our outing today. Ah Yan is the richest man." He put his arm around Huo Yan's shoulder and tilted his head to introduce Su Wu to him. "Ah Wu is the same age as us. His father-in-law is Su Jian's uncle. He's the only one in Maoling who suits my taste the most."
Huo Yan knew that he was introducing a friend to him, so he didn't take the money, but took out two coins from his bag and placed them in Su Wu's palm. "Hello, my name is Huo Yan, and I am Brother Qubing's younger brother. Nice to meet you."
Su Wu uttered "oh" twice, holding the four coins. His black eyes, like those of a young deer, sparkled on his fair and tender face. He pulled Huo Yan's sleeve and exclaimed, "Wow, you have more money than Brother Qubing!"
Huo Qubing smiled brightly, "That's right, you don't even know whose brother he is! Ah Wu, hurry up and call Yan brother. Follow Ah Yan, and you and I will have no worries about food and drink in the future."
Su Wu's eyes brightened.
Huo Yan's ears suddenly turned red. He brushed off the dust on Su Wu's body, then took Su Wu's hand with his other hand.
"No, it's just that I don't like going out. You don't have to call me Brother Yan. Just call me Ah Yan."
Su Wu nodded and called out crisply, "Ah Yan!"
Huo Yan responded and called out "Awu".
Huo Qubing in front watched this scene with great satisfaction.
As expected, my uncle's strategy of playing hard to get was sufficient to control Ah Yan.
He held his head high complacently, like a little bird.
I am indeed a great general!
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty moved a large number of people there, Maoling Town has become a gathering place for wealthy families, and the food, drink and entertainment there are far superior to those in ordinary places in Chang'an.
The market not only has small stalls, but also has everything from pot-shooting to cockfighting, juggling, and storytelling.
Huo Qubing was like a fish in water, struggling to move.
He has wanted to come and play for a long time.
Huo Yan paid the money while looking after Su Wu and him.
He paid for the candied dates that Huo Qubing had just wanted, and handed a steamed bun to the hungry Su Wu.
Then he gave the three of them a portion of barbecue kebab to share.
After this trip, there were only two cents left in my pocket.
[Ayan is a good male mother.]
[He really did. I cried my heart out. I was being manipulated so badly by Bingbing.]
[After being called, Ah Yan's ears turned red.]
[Brother Yan~, Brother Yan~]
[Awu is so cute!]
[Seeing the cubs go out is what I deserve for accompanying Yan to study medicine every day!]
[Stop talking, I now feel like I can give someone a couple of injections.]
[One shot of hemiplegia, hahh.]
[But when I think of Ah Wu and the sheep herders in the North Sea, I become emo.]
[Looking at the bright side, our Ah Yan and Bing Bing really like Ah Wu. If Bing Bing can live a long time, then does Ah Wu still need to go on missions?]
[Huo Qubing: I’ll punch you right through.]
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that my little General Huo liked sweet things when he was little.
[He ate with great relish.]
[Bingbing has always been a good kid who isn't picky about food. That's right, I'm scolding you, you unfilial son. Look at your brother!]
[Ah, Bingbing is very picky, can't you see?]
[No, anyone with eyes can see that.]
[Only compared to Ah Yan. Bingbing Baby is a good kid.]
[Sick baby, Awu baby, mommy loves you.]
The barrage was full of love from the mother fans for Huo Qubing, and the screen was full of love. Huo Yan was too lazy to read it and just ignored it.
He looked at his small purse and sighed, and was about to follow Huo Qubing in front of him to watch cockfighting.
When I looked up, I saw a man in a short linen coat holding a little boy who was wearing a long coat similar to theirs.
The difference is huge.
Although he might be a servant, whose servant looks so ferocious?
This child must have been kidnapped!
"Brother, Ah Wu, let's go back!" He made a quick decision and dragged Huo Qubing in front and Su Wu behind him and walked away. Su Wu tugged at his sleeve and became panicked. "Ah Yan, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Huo Yan only dragged them along for a short distance before whispering into Huo Qubing's ear, who was still wandering around, "There's a beggar."
Huo Qubing's brows furrowed when he heard this. He looked around and saw the man. He didn't care about what to eat for a moment. He threw everything away and dragged the two of them out to the street.
When Huo Yan saw that he heard it, he decided to turn around and go back to chase after the beggar.
Huo Qubing didn't want him to go.
"Go back first, we'll report to the police."
Huo Yan shook his head. "There's no time. If we go back and forth, the child will be kidnapped somewhere else. You take Ah Wu back first and report to the police. I'll follow him and mark your path along the way."
Without waiting for Huo Qubing to reply, he broke free from his hand and walked into the street, holding up his small purse.
"Don't worry, brother. If I run into danger, I'll run!"
Huo Qubing stamped his feet, knowing that what he said was right. He looked at Su Wu, and then they walked towards the Chang'an County Government Office together.
Huo Yanzhi ran in the direction where the man had just disappeared. When he saw the man's figure, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed him into a dark alley.
Huo Qubing was sweating profusely at this point. He stood in front of the county government office. Su Wu, standing behind him, also had a fierce look on his face. He shouted to the gatekeeper, "There's a kidnapper! He's in the market to the north!"
The bailiff was unmoved, thinking it was just a child's mischief.
Huo Qubing, who had been clutching the imperial jade pendant given to him by Wei Qing, now raised it and shouted, "Please take me to see the county magistrate quickly. My brother is missing."
In the alley, Huo Yan followed the man closely, carefully leaving copper coins along the way.
Just hope no one steals it.
He relied on the many eyes on the barrage and his small body to hide in the corner and slowly approached.
But I don’t know if the man noticed him, because his pace seemed to quicken.
Huo Yan hurried to catch up, but the man turned into another alley.
He frowned and quickened his pace to follow.
[Ayan, run! There's someone here.]
The barrage issued a warning.
Huo Yan turned around and ran without hesitation.
But it's too late.
Several big men appeared from nowhere and blocked his escape route.
The leading man was wearing a plain grey shirt, his long, messy hair covering half of his face. The other half that was exposed looked stiff and ferocious.
"It turned out to be a lost lamb."
The man's voice was sinister.
A bone-chilling chill rose from the soles of Huo Yan's feet and went straight to the top of his head. He was sure that this man had killed someone.
He tightly grasped the long needle in his hand, knowing that he could not escape, and suddenly he laughed, a wild laugh.
"So you're a wicked wretch destined for an early death!" He raised his eyes, a vicious glint flashing in them. "When I was killing people, you were still eating dirt. Be smart and stay out of my way, or I can't guarantee you'll leave an intact corpse."
Huo Yan took small square steps, one hand behind his back and the other raised towards the people, still smiling, revealing his little white baby teeth.
“Come on!”
His five-year-old body, coupled with his smile and white teeth, was so creepy that even those who believed in ghosts and gods took a step back.
The leading man was stunned for a moment.
I wouldn’t really encounter an old monster!
For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate.
As soon as Huo Qubing entered the county government office and met the county magistrate, he began to describe the details of the abducted child and the clothes Huo Yan was wearing without even catching his breath, and asked the Chang'an County magistrate to immediately block the street and go with him to look for the person.
When the county magistrate heard that Madam Wei and Minister Wei's nephew in the palace had also been abducted, he hurriedly followed Huo Qubing to look for them.
In the alley, Huo Yan had already started to fool the group of men.
"Hey, you're quite strange." He acted like a hermit, carefully examining him for a moment before saying to the leading man, "Your face clearly shows signs of wealth and longevity, yet there's a constant dark aura around your eyebrows, hinting at a premature death. This shouldn't be the case."
Huo Yan smiled and took two steps forward.
"Let the old monster show you."
As he came over, the big men retreated together.
"Blind-sighted mortals!" Huo Yan scoffed, putting on a smug expression as he began boasting, "Have you heard of the Dark Spirits in Chu Zhinan, who consider five hundred years to be spring and five hundred years to be autumn? And in ancient times, there were the Great Chun trees, whose eight thousand years were spring and eight thousand years to be autumn? And this old monster is the only Dark Spirit alive today. If it weren't for the five hundred years of reincarnation that have arrived, coinciding with my rejuvenation, you wouldn't even be able to meet him."
He observed everyone's expressions as he spoke, then added a bit of tidbit of information, "Back then, your emperor, the Marquis of Liu Bang, was my disciple. He had decent talent, and I gave him an elixir that granted him immortality. From then on, he traveled the world, earning the nickname Red Pine."
Everyone knows the name of Liu Hou.
These people were blinded by greed and knew that what they were doing would wipe out their descendants. They were already extremely convinced of the theories of ghosts and gods. Huo Yan's demeanor made them think that they had hit the jackpot. They could not help but kneel down in a row and shout "God!"
If evil people want to live forever, they can go to hell!
It is not an exaggeration to say that the kidnapper deserves to have his skin peeled and his tendons pulled out!
Huo Yan was still smiling, but with a cold look in his eyes. He patted the leading man on the shoulder and pierced his shoulder acupoint with the silver needle in his hand.
The man felt numb all over, and instantly collapsed to the ground. The man who had once been as fierce as a tiger had fallen like a rag at Huo Yan's feet. Huo Yan slowly pulled out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his right hand, which had touched the man's body. Then he casually tossed the handkerchief, along with the hair-thin needle, into the grass nearby.
"He looks wealthy and has a dark aura about him—a perfect medicine inducer!" He glanced sideways at the others who were trembling constantly, his eyelashes drooping slightly, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "Do you also want to achieve immortality?"
The words were soft and strange.
[Mom, I'm scared.]
[Yanzi, you are so scary!]
[A strong injection into the Jianjing acupoint can cause numbness on half the body.]
[You must remember the major deadly blood vessels in the human body.]
[Stab them, Madam Yan, stab these bastards to death!]
[Human traffickers deserve to be skinned and their tendons removed!]
[If I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t have believed you were Ah Yan.]
[Little Tyrannosaurus! My Yan, how much do you know about me that I don't know?]
[Ayan baby, you did a great job! You successfully turned my mom from a hater to a fan. This transformation is so exciting!]
[Dude, long live the Crazy Criticism!]
[It still has to be my Yanbao, who can be crazy or sweet.]
[Human traffickers should be shot!]
[Ayan, fuck!]
[Fuck, a divine move!]
[You are so sexy~]
…
【Author’s words】
Ayan has done everything, and basically all of his actions are very cool.
He is a very abnormal person. He is often in an unhealthy mood and does some cruel things. He is very opinionated and self-willed.
But if you just tell him, he will help you.
He would be very shy about other people's kindness, and if he felt like giving something, he would give Su Wu money.
Including the barrage, he is also stubborn.
He is a clumsy, domineering, innocent baby who values friendship and is also a foul-mouthed person.
