Insufficient balance

  Her face was as red as an apple, and seeing Tang Hao still in a daze, she got somewhat angry, saying with a hint of anger: "I'm leaving first." After that, she lowered her head and ran out.

  "Hao's aunt pretended to be angry and said, 'You this Haozi, why are you like a wooden stake? If you miss such a good girl like Biyou, you won't find another even with a lantern in hand.'"

  Hao Shu also nodded and said: "Let's take the two pigs from our home to the market to sell them, exchange for cash, and then go to Lao Bi's house to propose."

  Tang Hao was originally an orphan without parents, and now seeing this elderly couple care about him so much, he felt a warmth in his heart that he had never experienced before, as if they were family from a past life. No, they were indeed family from a past life.

  "What's wrong with you, kid? Why aren't you talking? Did your brain get waterlogged or something?" Aunt Hua felt a bit uneasy.

  Tang Hao shook his head and said: "It's just a headache, I want to go out for a walk."

  Aunt Hua nodded and said: "That's right, you've been lying in bed for over ten days, it's good to go out for a walk. By the way, don't forget to go to Old Zhang's house to fetch a bottle of soy sauce."

  Soy sauce? Tang Hao seems to need some time to get used to this new world, picks up a soy sauce bottle and walks out.

  "Haozi, are you awake?" The neighbors on the left and right saw Tang Hao and greeted him. Tang Hao actually didn't know them, so he could only nod in response.

  Suddenly a slightly fat boy suddenly punched Tang Hao's belly, causing Tang Hao to spit out a mouthful of bitter water.

  "You lucky kid, it seems that Bi Yao can't leave you now. I'm completely out of luck." said the fatty with a nod.

  Although Tang Hao didn't know him, he could guess it out, he was a rival of Huang Yang.

  "Haozi, remember this: if you make Biyou sad, I'll make sure you regret it!" After saying that, he was just about to leave.

  "Wait a minute!" Tang Hao rubbed his belly.

  "What else?" asked the fatty.

  Tang Hao looked embarrassed and said: "Recently I've been feeling dizzy, I don't know where Zhang Bo's house went?"

  The fat man helplessly said: "Just turn left at the intersection ahead." After finishing speaking, he left.

  Tang Huo carried a bottle of soy sauce and arrived at Zhang Bo's doorstep, where Zhang Bo was sunbathing.

  "Isn't this Haoye? Finally someone woke up." Zhang Bo joked.

  Tang Hao rubbed his head and said, "Mother asked me to come and make soy sauce."

  Zhang Bo smiled and poured a full jug of soy sauce from Tang Huo's bottle, then handed it to Tang Huo.

  Tang Hao patted his waist and suddenly remembered that he didn't bring any money. "Wait a minute, Zhang Bo, I'll go back and get some money."

  Zhang Bo smiled and waved his hand, "No need to mention money, as long as next time I visit your home, don't be stingy with the liquor."

  Tang Hao smiled and said: "Of course, come to my place another day, I'll personally pour you a drink."

  Tang Hao suddenly discovered that he had grown fond of this world. If it weren't for the bonds from his past life, Tang Hao would rather choose to live here forever.

  After finishing the soy sauce, Tang Huan had another meal made by his aunt, although it was some plain food, but it had a different flavor.

  The sky had already darkened, and Tang Hao and the two old men chatted about family matters for a while. Although they made many mistakes, they also got to know each other roughly.

  The two old men had already fallen asleep, and Tang Hao also lay on the simple but warm bed, listening to the chirping sounds outside, and fell asleep peacefully.

  "Haozi, what time is it already? Hurry up and get out of bed." Aunt Hao has already steamed the mantou and was putting them into Uncle Hao's lunchbox.

  "Are you going out, Father?" Tang Hao asked. It was just dawn now, and Tang Hao's eyelids were still heavy.

  Hao Shu smiled and said, "It's rare for Bi Yu to take a liking to you, and Old Man Bi has a good impression of you too. Coincidentally, today is an auspicious day, so I plan to go to the market and sell the pig, exchange it for some valuable goods, and then go to the Bi family to propose." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but cough several times.

  "Is your father's body not well?" Tang Hao continued to ask.

  Hao Shu said indifferently: "Old Mao is sick, I'm used to it." Hao Shu led the two pigs and walked away on the official road.

  Tang Hao didn't know much about medicine, but he knew some simple herbal remedies. He picked up a steamed bun and said to his mother, "Mother, I'll go pick some herbs on the mountain to help Father with his cough."

  Aunt Hǎo nodded and smiled kindly: "Be careful, don't run too far."

  "Got it." Tang Hao felt a sense of home for the first time, and he wanted to do his best to protect it.

  "Huang Yang brother, where are you going? First try some of the pastries I made." Bi You just happened to appear at Tang Huang's doorstep.

  Tang Hao picked up the pastry and put it away, saying: "I'm going up the mountain to pick some herbs."

  "Then I'll go too." Bi You seemed to have stuck with Tang Huang.

  Tang Hao certainly hoped to have a little beauty accompany him, but on the other hand, he, being lewd and lustful, couldn't muster up half a heart of obscenity towards Bi You.

  "Are your parents not worried?" Tang Hao asked again.

  "It's okay." Bi Yao's face showed a disdainful expression, "Father and mother both know that I'm about to be yours, as long as you protect me, they won't worry." After finishing speaking, her head lowered again, her two index fingers tapping lightly.

  "Do you know about herbs?" Tang Hao asked.

  "Of course I will, can I help you?" Bi You said excitedly.

  ……

  Biyou followed Tang Hao up the mountain and started to help him a lot, but as the mountain road became more and more difficult to walk, Biyou finally twisted her foot.

  "Oh no!" Bi You's eyes were welling up with tears, but she seemed to be holding them back.

  Tang Hao didn't say another word, placing the medicine basket in Bi You's hand, then he carried Bi You on his back and headed back.

  "Hey Huang Yang, isn't Biyou being a bit of a nuisance?" Biyou's eyes are already welling up with tears.

  Tang Hao comforted: "How could that be? Bi You has helped me a lot, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to gather so many herbs."

  Biyao turned her tears into laughter and leaned her head on Tang Huang's shoulder, saying: "I really like leaning on Brother Huanyang's shoulder, Brother Huanyang won't mind, will he?"

  Tang Hao gazed into the distant sky and let out a sigh, saying: "You want to lean on me for how long, then just lean on me for that long."

  Tang Huo carried Bi You down the mountain, but when they returned to the village, what should have been a bustling scene with rising smoke from cooking fires was instead a dismal and lifeless atmosphere. Tang Huo arrived at Zhang Bo's gate, only to see Zhang Bo lying in a pool of blood.

  "Zhang Bo! Zhang Bo! Wake up!" Tang Hao tried to wake Zhang Bo, but there was no effect at all.

  Tang Hao secretly called out that it was not good and hurriedly ran home. Because they were going in the same direction, Bi You also followed Tang Hao as he ran home. Along the way, there were countless corpses, and some people had even greeted Tang Hao warmly just a short while ago.

  There was no one in the house. On the table, there was only a note: Haoye, we've gone to Bixiao's house to propose on your behalf. Lunch is hot in the pot, eat it yourself first.

  Tang Hao cried and pulled Bi You towards Bi You's home, as soon as they entered Bi You's home, Tang Hao was completely desperate. The red wedding gift was still on the table, but the two elders were lying in a pool of blood, without any breath.

  Biyao cried and hugged a middle-aged man, crying: "Dad, mom, don't leave Biyao."

  The middle-aged man surprisingly hadn't died yet, and squeezed out a few words: "Run quickly!"

  "Too late!" Behind the house, a man and a woman, two cultivators appeared, both wearing black clothes, with strange makeup on their faces, obviously two demonic cultivators.

  "Is this the little girl you said was the Holy Spirit's root?" The woman asked, raising her chin slightly.

  "Will you be worthy of being my sacrifice?" The man said with a mysterious smile.

  The woman smiled slyly and said, "Not only is it enough, rest assured that your father will not treat you unfairly when you return."

  Tang Hao naturally knew what they wanted to do, but now he had no strength at all and no spiritual power to make the woman take off her clothes.

  Bi Yu glared fiercely at the two of them: "Was it you who did this?"

  The woman smiled coldly and said: "Of course, but soon it will be your turn."

  Tang Hao had no other choice and instinctively shouted: "Bi You, run quickly!" Although she was unlikely to get away.

  The woman glanced at him disdainfully and said, "I don't want to live anymore!" The man also cooperated by stabbing Tang Hao with his sword.

  "How bold!" Suddenly, a white figure flew down from the sky and stabbed the man with one sword, and the man died instantly.

  "You have actually committed such a great sin of murder." The woman was wearing a white palace dress, with a white cloak, and although her face could not be seen clearly, she still had an ethereal beauty like a fairy from the clouds.

  "Spare my life, I won't dare again next time!" The woman hastily knelt down, presumably knowing she wasn't a match for the white-clothed woman.
