Chapter 136 One person beats up a group of people
"That was just a joke with the child. After all, Miss Mu was so cute back then, it was hard not to tease her. If we really wanted to, wouldn't it be easy to snatch a fish from the child? Why would we need to exchange something for it, right?" The village chief looked at Xie Yaochuan with an embarrassed smile.
Xie Yaochuan looked at him with a half-smile, "Tell me, what other things are you capable of doing?"
Large beads of sweat rolled down the village chief's forehead, falling to the ground with a thud. His body was stiff, motionless like a statue, silently praying that the little girl in his arms would not say anything shocking, lest she expose all his secrets.
To be honest, the village chief didn't have a deep impression of the little girl's life in the village over the past few years. After all, the Hu family was destitute; they were just refugees who had fled famine with their families.
The Moon Kingdom has a relief policy that registers families who are poor and lack food every month and distributes relief food to them to help them survive.
Although he held little power as the village head, he was in charge of distributing relief grain. For many years, he abused his position to repeatedly withhold the life-saving rations that the villagers were entitled to.
In recent years, natural disasters have been frequent. First, there was a severe drought, followed by floods and locust plagues, which resulted in almost no harvest for every household.
If it weren't for the timely relief grain provided by the Yue Kingdom, countless people would probably have starved to death on the streets. Therefore, he not only secretly embezzled some of the grain, but sometimes even fabricated various excuses to confiscate the villagers' meager relief grain.
The Hu family, with five children, received more grain than any other family in the village, so he often caused trouble for them, embezzling most of their grain. After all, they were just children, so he figured they could eat as little as possible.
Moreover, the one who worked most often in the Hu family was their second daughter. Hu's wife and son-in-law were both difficult to deal with, so whenever he deducted grain, he would deduct it from the second daughter's pay.
He knew, of course, that the Hu family often beat this child, but it was no big deal. Children are like that; if you don't beat them, they'll fly to the sky. They'll only listen if you beat them more.
Who would have thought that Er Ya was actually a child of the legendary Mu family?
Wasn't the Hu family a refugee family? How did they manage to bring the Mu family's child from the capital to their side?
Instead of treating them well, they abused them for so many years.
He thought they didn't like their second daughter. Luckily, he probably didn't do too many things he shouldn't have done.
"I really didn't do anything." The village chief was terrified as he said this.
"If I find out later that you shouldn't have done anything..."
Xie Yaochuan just smiled and then carried Xiao Yuxi away. Before he had taken more than a few steps, the guards behind him caught up.
"The third young master beat someone up."
Xie Yaochuan was somewhat incredulous. Had he gotten into trouble in less than a quarter of an hour since he left?
He seemed to have underestimated Mu Yunchen's abilities.
Xiao Yuxi was quite surprised, "Who exactly did Brother Potato hit?"
The guard beside him remained silent, only turning his head slightly away to look at the village chief with a slightly embarrassed expression. After a while, he said in a low voice, "It's the village chief's son, and a few other boys from the village."
Upon hearing this, the village chief's expression changed drastically, and his voice suddenly rose eight octaves: "What happened to my son?"
You should know that he only has this one son!
"There's...there's been a little blood..." The guard's expression seemed somewhat unnatural, and his gaze began to wander.
In fact, the child not only bled a lot, but also had several teeth knocked out!
The village chief had no time to say much to Xie Yaochuan and the others. In his anxiety, he immediately staggered and ran away.
What exactly happened to my son? Was he seriously injured? How badly was he hurt?
But that shouldn't be the case, the other party is the incomparably noble third young master of the Mu family!
He had repeatedly warned his son never to deliberately provoke the Mu family.
If the Mu family is kept happy, they can hope to leave this poor, remote village forever and no longer have to worry about how to stockpile food.
If I were fortunate enough to be able to work for the Mu family, that would be even better.
But how did things develop to this state?
The village chief simply couldn't understand it; there was absolutely no way his son would provoke this third young master for no reason!
He had repeatedly instructed them to make sure they pleased the Mu family...
Why did things have to go wrong at this crucial juncture?
When they rushed to the scene, Mu Yunchen was sitting steadily on the back of a boy who looked a few years older than him, and was hitting the boy's cheeks with a hammer.
On the ground around them, five or six boys of similar age lay scattered about, all with little flesh on their faces and bodies.
It's clear that he really hit the hammer hard, one blow at a time, without holding back at all.
The guards around him were clearly wary of the Third Young Master and dared not stop him easily. They could only do their best to stop the farmers who tried to rush forward to protect the children.
Xie Yaochuan witnessed the chaotic and out-of-control scene before him, a sharp headache struck him, and he felt a sense of disbelief.
How could Mu Yunchen single-handedly take on a group of people?
Even if he was indeed born into a family of generals, he was still too young. It's understandable for an adult to have such boundless energy, but how could he have so many children?
"Mu Yunchen, that's enough! If this keeps up, someone might die." Xie Yaochuan sighed helplessly, looking at the child on the ground who was completely powerless to fight back.
Upon hearing Xie Yaochuan's voice, Mu Yunchen immediately stopped what he was doing. Seeing Xi Jie in his arms, he quickly stood up and covered the face of the person on the ground.
Then, he glanced back and seemed to see a corner of the man's face peeking out, so he kicked him again without hesitation.
"What exactly happened?" Xie Yaochuan rubbed his temples, his tone revealing a hint of blame and confusion.
He originally thought that after all these days, Mu Yunchen had matured and would no longer easily cause trouble.
However, it turned out that he had underestimated Mu Yunchen's temper.
Xie Yaochuan secretly regretted that he had trusted this guy too much lately and hadn't paid enough attention to him. As a result, he had still managed to cause such a big problem.
Mu Yunchen glanced at Xiao Yuxi, shook his head, and said decisively, "I just didn't like them, so I beat them up. Why all the 'why' and 'how'?"
The parrot flew around once and landed on Xie Yaochuan's shoulder. "That person pushed someone earlier!"
Xiao Yuxi struggled off Xie Yaochuan and ran towards Mu Yunchen, who was standing there.
