w.a.n.g Yun

Feng pushed everyone away and rushed outside, only seeing the injured and

victims walking to and fro.

Juan Shu

ran over: “Master, you called for me?”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng looked at him strangely: “Who said I was looking for you?”

“Ah,” Juan

Shu scratched his head, looking left and right, again smiling: “Master didn’t

you call a random lady to get me? What’s going on?”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng grabbed hold of him: “Where is the mistress?”

Juan Shu

appeared to not have heard what he said: “After she spoke she left.” Juan Shu

seemed very busy, in his hand he still held herbal medicine, as he muttered if

the master is fine then I’ll get on, after if there’s nothing then don’t

randomly call for me, I’m so busy I’m about to die, master you have a beautiful

woman to accompany you but don’t come out to show off, I’m worried you’ll fail

miserably…

Juan Shu’s

mouth was like a parrot’s, once it’s open it would incessantly blather on. w.a.n.g

Yun Feng was used to him prattling on, he didn’t pay attention, he looked

around once more to see if he could truly see that familiar person’s shadow, he

could only return to the house.

At that

moment, a boy climbed out from the small table, his tiny claws scratching over

his entire body, seeing w.a.n.g Yun Feng he skipped over: “Itchy!”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng reached over pus.h.i.+ng aside Xia Fen’s clothes, only seeing his tender flesh

had been scratched to a bulging red, he worryingly felt Xia Fen’s forehead, he

didn’t have a fever. Xia Fen’s body had been itching for a while, today he

truly couldn’t bear it, he slapped w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s hand away, under the gaze of

everyone he began to take off all his clothes to scratch the itch.

Hua Bao Xia

stood extremely close to w.a.n.g Yun Feng, not knowing Xia Fen’s true ident.i.ty. 

Usually she only saw other people walk by Xia Fen, merely thinking the other

person was like herself a young overlord from some family who came here to

play, and did not take him seriously. After all, when w.a.n.g Yun Feng worked, Xia

Fen understood very well he couldn’t go stir up trouble as he wished, otherwise

his bottom would meet calamity. So, Hua Bao Xia when she saw this child whine

completely without respect to w.a.n.g Yun Feng, was prepared to a.s.sume an att.i.tude

to teach Xia Fen a lesson. Before she could open her mouth, Xia Fen had already

one by one took of two clothes, immediately a strange odour arose in the house,

as if…

“It smells

so bad!” Hua Bao Xia used her perfumed handkerchief to cover her nose, her face

even more pale she took a few steps back. The maids’ noses had already been

long ago numbed by the refugee like camp, now they only felt that the smell

emitting from Xia Fen taking off his clothes smelled even worse, hearing their

own young lady cry out in fear they immediately supported her up. Two maids and

an invaluable young lady withdrew to the door as if avoiding snakes and

scorpions, Hua Bao Xia shuddering pointed at Xia Fen and cried out in fear:

“Quickly drive him away.”

Xia Fen

shot a glance at that unfathomable woman. He hadn’t turned away from her body

odour and go and shake up her home, she actually still dare to be rude to the

master, too…

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng seeing the corner of Xia Fen’s mouth twist up he knew this spoiled child

was again itching to do something. His Highness the crown prince was a bad egg,

he even corrupted his own son into a black leopard. Before when Xia Fen was

unhappy with someone he would directly beat them up, now when Xia Fen was

unpleased, he wouldn’t simply secretly pull down the other person’s trousers, he

would also throw a mouthful of dirt into the other person’s mouth that they

can’t even spit out.

It was too

mischievous!

What was

even more mischievous, w.a.n.g Yun Feng felt this was all the crown prince’s

fault, and he as a father simply did not encourage him.

“A man

amongst men, won’t bicker with a young woman.” w.a.n.g Yun Feng warned in a low

voice. He wasn’t loud enough, but everyone in the house had their nose a.s.sailed

by the stink, were all feeling rather dizzy, on hearing such words, it was as

if a pebble had been thrown into a tranquil lake, startling Hua Bao Xia terribly,

and the smell was unbearable.

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng did not feel like taking them into consideration, occupied with taking all

of Xia Fen’s clothes off, leaving him in his underpants, seeing fifth could be

rubbed from his neck, waist, back and knee, that’s when he recalled how long

his son hadn’t washed.

Of course,

before by the sea, jumping into and swimming around a lap his whole body would

wrinkle. Returning ash.o.r.e, before he met Xia Ling Mei there were personal servants

taking care of him. Arriving at Beiding city, the men in the Xia family had to

practice martial arts, they bathed in the morning and evening. Xia Fen was a

mischievous and troublesome child, from the start it was hard for him to be

clean. But on reaching Zhuozhou, because w.a.n.g Yun Feng was busy, that he even

forgot to eat, let alone to take a bath, truthfully he only scrubbed his body

when it didn’t feel comfortable. When the crown prince was here, 

Xia Fen would

go to the tavern, the crown prince left, whatever way his father was treated, 

Xia Fen was treated in that way, no one gave attention in taking care of him,

even Juan Shu didn’t have the time to heat water and give him a bath. Adding it

up, Xia Fen had already not entered a bathtub for around half a month. Not

changed his clothes, not washed, in these disaster regions there were always

some small bugs, biting and itchy, with dirt on top of that, the smell from his

body was stronger and stronger, the smell of taking off those clothes, `ze`, there truly was nothing great

about it.

He

personally went to the side room rummaging through his own clean clothes to

bundle Xia Fen up, again ordering someone to help call for Xiao Bai to heat up

water for Xia Fen, on the way go the physicians to get some medicinal

ingredients to get rid of rheumatism and boil it, give it to Xia Fen to soak

in.

Xia Fen wore

w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s long gown, the sleeves were long, the hem was also long, he

felt it was novel. w.a.n.g Yun Feng continued to discuss proper business at one

side, Xia Fen jumped about on the wooden couch behind him wearing the long

gown. He was tired from playing, very vilely he went to hug Hua Bao Xia to poke

her acupuncture point.

His father

was very good at hitting pressure points, it was a moderate and not fatal form

of martial arts; and Xia Fen himself knew how to chop off heads, it was the

most overbearing and barbarous yet most direct way to save one’s own life. Now

he lived with his father, sometimes he couldn’t help hit w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s

acupuncture point. As a father he obviously knew what his son was thinking, he

used the approach `You want to learn? What, you don’t want to learn, you can’t

kill someone? I’m telling you son `sigh`, killing people is a job for thick

people, do you know how scholars rather die than live? You don’t, I’ll tell

you, as long as you learn to hit pressure points, you can make the other person

laugh for three days and three nights laughing to death while still alive, and

can make the other person cry for five days and five nights cry to death while

still alive, and can make the other person starve to death unable to eat, make

him unable to move so at last he’ll be roasted dry by the sun…what, you want to

learn, that’s the right way!`

In reality,

where is there a pressure point that can kill someone. w.a.n.g Yun Feng only

wanted his son to not use b.l.o.o.d.y violence every time to deal with a problem.

As a

result, Xia Fen exceedingly bad-hearted used Hua Bao Xia, the three mistress

and servants as objects to practice hitting pressure points, making them now

cry now laugh, now limp and powerless now groaning in pain. The maids were

snivelling and overflowing with tears by the sneak attack, even the extremely

dignified Hua Bao Xia complexion was flushed, gazing at w.a.n.g Yun Feng with

anger and complain.

At night,

the people who came and went from the house gradually decreased, when the smell

of food could be smelled outside the house, Juan Shu entered carrying food,

sweeping his eyes over the dishes with generous amounts of meat and fish from

the Hua family, for the first time, he rather couldn’t help say these words to

w.a.n.g Yun Feng: “Master, your forehead is dark, both your eyes are lifeless, you

may have a b.l.o.o.d.y disaster, it might be best for you to not have these things

that the Hua family sent, in case something happens.” Hence, not waiting for

w.a.n.g Yun Feng to lift his head, and not waiting for Xia Fen to protest, he ran

out carrying the delicious fine food, sharing and eating them with some bad-hearted

scoundrels.

Xiao Bai

had already long ago found time to boil a barrel of medicinal water, carrying

the bathtub into the house, waiting for that father and son to finish eating

dinner, then throwing Xia Fen into the hot water, using a chicken feather

duster like thing to scrub hard Xia Fen from inside and out, up and down once

over, then seeing the jet-black bath water, he turned to say to w.a.n.g Yun Feng:

“Master, it’s not me, you are an a.s.signed official of the court, not a Buddhist

monk of the people. For your health, and our nose, please also clean yourself.

Otherwise, you will regret it.”

“What

regret?”

“Regret a

beauty is in your arms, but turn her back on you because your body smell too

bad.”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng spoke mildly angry: “What nonsense are you saying! Where is there a beauty

here.”

Xiao Bai’s

words you will regret this soon! Not listening to Xiao Bai, sooner or later you

will suffer. Master, you just wait!

Xiao Bai

rejoicing in other’s misfortune he left the house, turning he ran to Juan Shu

to jabber, occasionally running to a certain place at a face pace.

Xia Ling

Mei knew w.a.n.g Yun Feng did not have a lot of people at hand, this time she

intentionally placed the shadow guards in plain sight, then as a voluntary

citizen she registered her name in the book with Xiao Bai, again a.s.signing

tasks.

Xiao Bai

and Juan Shu were like two giant dogs rus.h.i.+ng to take credit for their

achievements, repeatedly voicing their complaints following Xia Ling Mei:

“Mistress, you have to urge the master. After coming to Zhuozhou he has only

been resting four hours every day, whatever the victims eat, he will eat. Even

better medicine wouldn’t be able to continuously support the master’s weary

body, when he had just got to Zhuozhou, he fainted from being angered by those

officials. If it was only the master then it’s fine, but the young master is

growing, how can he eat these coa.r.s.e grains…”

“Fen Er?”

“Ah,

Mistress you didn’t know? The young master is here” quietly, “He came with His

Highness the crown prince, after causing a major event, the crown prince left,

the young master stayed behind. Have pity, the white and plump body obtained

with difficulty in Beiding city, its become skinny having been here barely a

month, seeming no different from the victims.”

“Now the

young master would drool thinking of red braised pork, needing to practice

martial arts, practice writing characters, and every day he’s forced by the

master to learn lessons by heart, oh, sometimes the young master ma.s.sage the

master’s shoulders, his back, the sole young master of my house, from birth he

ought to live comfortably, coming here he’s been reduced to a common person,

not eating well, not sleeping enough, and has to work…”

Xia Ling

Mei smiled yet not a smile casting a glance at the two family counsellors:

“However I listen to your words they seem to be your complains, and not in the

aid of the master and Fen Er?”

Juan Shu

repeatedly gestured with his hands: “Mistress, you accuse us wrongly, we truly

are worried for the master and the young master. We really are not complaining that

we’re working too much, a meal without generous amounts of meal and fish,

sleeping no longer than four hours…”

Xiao Bai

added: “We are definitely not complaining there are no beautiful woman in their

prime youth here, and we’re not homesick. Right, mistress, has Hei Zi come?”

Xia Ling

Mei secretly sighed, these two scoundrels lying without blinking, are they

actually loyal and devoted to the w.a.n.g family?

It was

dark.

Today Xia

Fen had no choice but to sleep with his daddy today, because his bedding had

been taken by Xiao Bai to be washed. The November sky, it was cold but not

enough for it to snow, it was out of the question that it was hot. Xia Fen’s

clothes had all been taken away, right now he was using his father’s underpants

as inner trousers, using his father’s inner top as an outer top. Then covering

himself with the bedding he jumped up and down on his father’s bed, from time

to time using his finger to jab in the air, experiencing the joyous feeling

from hitting Hua Bao Xia this afternoon.

That only

emitted the body odour of the fox Hua, she wasn’t as delicious smelling as him,

hahaha!

“Fen Er,

sleep.”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng entered, exhausted he took off his outer clothes, pus.h.i.+ng his son down on

the bed: “You’ll catch a cold, tomorrow I’ll get Juan Shu to bring you into the

city to buy a few winter clothes, don’t keep the old ones.”

Xia Fen

struggled free of his suppression, rolling on the bed once before saying: “I’m

not cold.”

w.a.n.g Yun

Feng already collapsed on the bed from exhaustion, stroking his head: “Fen Er

listen to me.”

Xia Fen

looked at his cheap father’s complexion, somewhat even paler than these past

few days, he struggled away awkwardly, climbing into the bed to sleep properly.

w.a.n.g Yun Feng in a daze tucked him in with the quilt, thinking about it, then

pulled the child into his arms, with no time to speak he fell asleep.

It was the

first time Xia Fen voluntarily allowed w.a.n.g Yun Feng to hold him to sleep, the

warmth on his forehead was w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s breathing, a small hand of his was

held in his big one, there was no place for one of his legs, he moved for a

little bit before finally placing it on w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s belly. His foot was

warm, his father’s belly was also warmed softly.

In the

dark, Xia Fen smiled, as he was about to sleep, his ears p.r.i.c.ked up suddenly.

The bedroom

door was softly opened, a dexterous figure entered.

Xia Fen

opened his mouth: “Mother?!”
