Chapter Two: The King of Kids

  I'm already six years old. After entering the primary school last year, I seemed to have returned to my childhood and started playing with the kids around me again.

  A child who has the thoughts of an adult is undoubtedly painful, this pain I have endured for several years. Perhaps it's self-protection or natural selection, I try my best to get used to being a kid, trying my best to think from a kid's perspective, living... It seems like my mindset has returned to that of a child, carefree and worry-free...

  "Hey, today Ah Xing that little guy hasn't come yet, looking at the time he should have arrived."

  "Brother Feng, Brother Feng, Xiang Yu's sister is already waiting for you outside, hurry up!" A big-eyed, curved eyebrow little kid with a bright red face ran while shouting and panting.

  "Alright, let's go."

  I did a backflip off the stone lion in front of the door and landed lightly. I found myself enjoying the feeling of being a child more and more, even to the point of having a childish heart.

  It's also good for people to be childlike at times.

  "Brother Feng, Brother Feng, I'm over here! Come quickly, come quickly!" A little girl even smaller than me, wearing a purple cotton-padded jacket, with a pair of braids tied up in "sheep horn" style, her big eyes blinking rapidly, her small face flushed bright red, was jumping and waving her hands not far away.

  "Xiang Yu, where are you going to play today? Is it Xiaolin Garden or Meng Zhong Le Yuan?" I said with a smile.

  I am extremely fond of Xiang Yu, and I even regard her as my own younger sister. This is mainly because my younger sister in my previous life passed away when she was very young, so all the care and affection I have are now poured onto Xiang Yu. Every time I see her smile, I feel extremely delighted and happy.

  "Feng Ge, I'm bored with playing, not going anymore. I just heard the grown-ups say that Yitui Building is very good and there are many aunts to play with, it seems like it needs a lot of money. Feng Ge, aren't you rich? Accompany me, okay?"

  Xiang Yu looked at me with her big, black eyes revealing a pleading expression, her hands tightly grasping my hem and shaking it non-stop. This usually works every time, but this time I absolutely won't agree.

  "Brother Feng, I also heard the grown-ups say that it's a lot of fun. Can you take us there too?" Even 5-year-old Ah Xing wants to go now. Good grief!

  Yi Cuilou is a brothel, and if Father knew that his less-than-six-year-old son took two even younger kids to visit a brothel, he wouldn't kill me? Luckily I found out early, otherwise Xiang Yu would have dragged A Xing there, and it would have been a joke.

  "It's raining, no way, you can't go to that place. If you do, your dad will beat you." I said with a serious face, if I didn't put on a stern expression, this little girl wouldn't give up.

  "Oh, I know, I don't want to go, but why would Dad beat me if I do?" Xiang Yu looked at me with a puzzled face, expecting her all-knowing and all-capable brother Feng to give her an answer, but this time she was disappointed. Her brother Feng was taken aback for a moment before responding seriously: "Don't ask, let's just go to Xiaolin Garden today."

  "Oh, I see." As she said this, tears began to well up in her eyes and were about to flow out.

  I regretted it as soon as I finished speaking, how could I do this to Xiang Yu? Seeing her about to cry, I immediately pulled her hand and said: "Xiang Yu, don't cry, it was my fault just now, don't be angry, you'll understand Yitian Building when you grow up."

  "Oh." Xiang Yu wiped away her tears. She didn't seem to be completely happy yet. I sighed inwardly, but believed that she would forget about it soon.

  I had to walk and tell jokes to Xiang Yu, haha, Xiang Yu hadn't laughed yet, but Ah Xing already burst out laughing, fortunately Xiang Yu also followed suit. Wow, the storm finally passed. Suddenly even the sky turned a deeper shade of blue, the air felt exceptionally fresh, and even that beggar seemed to have gained some elegance...

  "Third Master is well"

  "Have seen Third Master"

  。。。。。。

  Since that day, I knocked down more than a dozen little rascals as a five-year-old kid. All the kids in Suzhou recognized me as the king of kids. These kids naturally worshiped me when they saw me, and my identity was also an important factor.

  These are just a group of children in front of you.

  "Third Master, I have important information." A chubby little fellow in brocade clothing raised his right hand and called out. This chubby fellow is my absolute supporter. Of course, I also show him extra care.

  "What's up?" I said with a cool face, really having the demeanor of a superior, but unfortunately, my audience was just a group of kids. Hehe, but look at Xiang Yu's worshiping expression. It actually feels pretty good! Hehe!

  "Third Master, Ouyang Liang from the Western City actually dared to be so arrogant, it's unbearable! When I, Pang Fei, found out about it, I immediately led my brothers to go and teach him a lesson. But his bodyguard was incredibly powerful, he single-handedly knocked all of us down! Third Master, you must avenge us for this! Just the fact that he didn't give you face is enough reason to teach him a lesson!" Pang Fei's expression was full of righteous indignation.

  "Flat him"

  "Flat him"

  "Dare to provoke Third Young Master, must be punished."

  ......

  All the children echoed in unison.

  I don't have much feeling about it, but arguing with a kid is also too undignified. However, no matter what, he is still challenging my authority and needs to be taught a lesson.

  I immediately smiled and said: "A Fei, you did a good job this time, very good. Come on, follow me to see what kind of guts Ou Yang Xiao Zi has eaten, daring to do such a thing. I'll let him know that I'm not someone who can be bullied."

  We rushed towards the west city with great momentum, and the vendors and pedestrians on the road couldn't avoid us. They all knew who these kids were, they were all children of the most powerful people in Suzhou. The one in the middle, with a clear face and wearing a small white cotton-padded jacket, was the third son of the Zhang family, one of the four great families. When he was just 5 years old, he could beat up more than ten little hooligans by himself.

  We rushed straight to the two streets and finally arrived at our destination - the small garden in Xicheng, which is one of our four major playgrounds (one in Dongcheng, one in Nancheng, one in Beicheng, and this one in Xicheng).

  "This is actually where we kids play, to be honest this Ou Yang Lie has no ability at all, fighting is absolutely inferior, yet he can chase away Ah Fei and the others, it seems that this young master is not an ordinary kid, need to take a closer look."

  Through the flowerbed, across the stone bridge, through a gate, an open space appeared in front of us. There were only a few stone chairs and more than ten long stone benches on one side. The empty space was covered with green grass, which was our playground. In the middle of the stone chair, there was a very majestic stone bench, which was my exclusive throne. Normally, no one would sit there, but today, there was a little boy in red brocade clothes - Ouyang Liang.

  He was extremely thin, but his face was very white, and he looked very similar to his father, Ouyang Laogui. Ouyang Laogui was notorious for being treacherous. My father had said that the Ouyang family was exceptional at doing business, but they were too unscrupulous as people, which also meant that they would never be able to achieve great things. Just by looking at Ouyang Liang, I could tell that this kid was also a sly and cunning one.

  Ouyang Liang was sitting on the throne, feeling pleased with himself, eating pastries and drinking top-grade Longjing tea. He gazed at the dozen or so children from the Western City playing games in front of him, his heart filled with excitement. Finally, he could be like the Third Young Master, watching others play while maintaining a superior demeanor on the side. Ah! Would the Third Young Master come and hit him? He recalled how the Third Young Master had single-handedly beaten up over a dozen grown men last year, and his heart was filled with fear. But when he glanced at the big boy beside him, his heart finally calmed down.

  Who is this kid, so fierce. He actually made Ouyang Xiaozi believe that he can beat San Gongzi, and San Gongzi has defeated more than a dozen thugs!

  "Ouyang Liang, you're so fierce! You've become the boss. Haha...!" The voice entered his ears, and Ouyang Liang's heart trembled, his hand shook, and the pastry in his hand fell to the ground. Ouyang Liang was startled, it was San Gongzi. He began to feel afraid. But when he saw the big boy beside him, his heart calmed down a bit.

  I walked through the door and saw Ouyang Xiaozu's appearance, I couldn't help but look down on him a bit. He didn't even have the guts to make a move, yet he still wanted to be the king of kids. Dream on!

  "Third Master, hello. I, Ouyang Liang, was just playing with the companions from Western City and had no intention of being a leader. I hope Third Master won't misunderstand me like this, I, Ouyang Liang, am extremely loyal to Third Master, don't listen to some petty people's rumors." Ouyang Liang, forced by my aura, couldn't help but try to curry favor, with a flattering expression on his face. A wave of disdain rose in my heart.

  Suddenly a mischievous thought flashed through my mind, hehe. I smiled and said: "Ouyang Liang, I know you're loyal, now I have something I want to ask for your help, do you think it's possible?"

  "Of course, Third Master's affairs are my affairs. I hope Third Master won't be polite, just give orders. I, Ouyang Liang, will definitely make Third Master satisfied." Ouyang Liang had a bold and generous appearance, with a smile all over his face, secretly rejoicing in his heart that he could get through this difficult situation.

  I gazed at him with a sneer in my heart: let's see if you can still laugh later. A warm smile spread across my face: "Ouyang Liang, it's nothing much, just that the pile of stones on the south side is not pleasing to the eye, so move it to the north for me, and hurry up."

  I took a look at that pile of stones and secretly laughed to myself. I reckon it would take an adult a whole day to finish, but Ou Yang Lie was able to move even those big stones, and he finished them all off with ease, haha.

  Ouyang Liang looked at the pile of stones, furrowed his brow. Then smiled and said: "Third Master can rest assured, I will definitely make it beautiful. Ah Feng, these things are all handed over to you, you get them done for me, otherwise... Hmph!" Ouyang Liang glanced at the attendant beside him and ordered.

  Lang Feng gazed at the master in front of him, his heart filled with extreme anger. However, his mother still needed medical treatment. Suddenly, his mind flashed back to his mother's worn-out face and her dry yellow hair. He seemed to hear again his mother's repetitive reminders: "Little Lang, come home early tonight, it's too dangerous on the mountain. Remember, come home early." His heart ached with a pang of pain.

  "Ah Feng ah, hurry up, what are you staring at?!" Ouyang Liang's eyes suddenly widened, extremely arrogant.

  "Third Master, this lowly fellow is just a rustic farmer who has never seen the world. I hope Third Master won't bother with someone like him, you should hurry up." Ou Yang Liang showed me a respectful face, but immediately turned fierce towards his servant. Alas, it seems that the Ou Yang family will not rise again in this generation.

  Wolf's sharp teeth, started the task of moving stones. I frowned and suddenly smiled, looking at Ouyang Liang smiling and saying: "Ouyang Liang, I'm letting you come personally to move this, only then can it show respect for me, what do you say? Ah, you little kid don't hurry up and go move, didn't you hear?"

  Ouyang Liang was extremely angry in his heart. Zhang Xingfeng relied on his powerful family and high martial arts skills, so he was being too overbearing. Damn it! He glanced at the Wolf Fang not far away. He thought of that scene again: Wolf Fang fought a ferocious Northeastern tiger with bare hands for less than ten minutes and killed it. When Wolf Fang met him, his body still had fresh blood - the Northeastern tiger's blood. A wave of raging fire ignited in Ouyang Liang's heart, and he made a ruthless decision. Looking at Zhang Xingfeng, he secretly thought, "You are not benevolent, so I will not be righteous." Hmph!

  "Ah Feng, this Third Master is renowned for his exceptional martial arts skills throughout Suzhou City. You should ask him to teach you a thing or two, hurry up and go." Ouyang Liang gazed at the Third Master, imagining the scene of the Third Master falling at his feet later on. With a thrill in his heart, he said to the Third Master, "Third Master, please instruct this country bumpkin."

  I gazed at Ou Yang Liang, and I couldn't help but feel a little astonished. This Ou Yang Liang was only 7 years old, yet he could use such grandiose words to achieve his own purposes. It seemed that the Ou Yang family would have another little fox emerging, but I wasn't someone who could be fooled by his small intelligence. A glint of light flashed in my eyes: "Ou Yang Liang, didn't you hear what I told you? Ah, hurry up and go!"

  "Lang Feng, aren't you going to make a move? Have you forgotten about your mother?" Ouyang Liang said hastily, his tone extremely fierce.

  Wolf's edge trembled, mother, couldn't help but clenched her fists. In her heart, she secretly said: Sorry, for my mother's sake. I have no choice but to hit you. Taking a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the front - Zhang Xingfeng.
