Yang Jiao

  He was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he walked with a vigorous stride, his arms bulging with muscles, as if he had the strength to lift a thousand pounds. His eyes gleamed like those of a tiger, and he strode towards Yang Jian and his brother with an air of authority, his chest bare and his sleeves rolled up.

  Yang Jiaolong heard him call himself "second brother", this should be his own elder brother Yang Jiao. Looking at his generous personality, Yang Jiaolong felt an inexplicable comfort in his heart and thought he had traveled to the Song Dynasty and gone up to Liangshan. If it were really on Liangshan, he could match him.

  Only the leopard head Lin Chong was left. Yang Jia saw Yang Jiao for the first time and still felt a little unfamiliar, but Yang Chao, who was walking in front, came up with a smile and called out "Big brother, big brother" non-stop.

  "Third sister, how did you get back so quickly?" Yang Jiao's iron eyebrows were tightly locked, and he looked at Yang Yan with a face full of anger.

  Yang Chan did not covet his majesty, and asked doubtfully: "Now that it's almost sunset, are we still considered early in returning?"

  "I heard from Liu Xi that Wu Mazi came to bother my second brother again and even beat him up on Tangzi Street. I was just about to go teach Wu Mazi a lesson, but you all came back. Do you think it's early or not?" Yang Jiao shook his head in disappointment.

  "This damned Liu Xi, he clearly promised me not to tell others! How dare he deceive me!" Yang Jiao cursed secretly, Liu Xi was a servant in her household, the same one who told her about Yang Jia and Wu Mazi going to war.

  Yang Jiao saw Yang Jia's silence and let out a sigh, ignoring her. He took big strides and walked to Yang Jie's side, stretching out his hand to pat him on the shoulder. This pat was meant as a friendly gesture, but Yang Jie felt somewhat distressed, having just been reborn into this body and still not fully adapted to everything.

  Although he now looks like a fifteen-year-old boy, his body is as fragile as an infant's. Yang Jiao slapped him, and Yang Jian's chest shook violently, almost spitting out blood.

  Yang Jiao's hand was really unpredictable! Yang Jia coughed twice, and Yang Jiao's face suddenly became tense. Yang Jia also ran over to support him.

  Yang Xiao glared at Yang Jiao and said: "Big brother, don't you know how to control your strength? Second brother is injured now, can't you be more careful?"

  Yang Jian coughed and waved his hand, saying: "It's nothing, it's nothing, just a minor injury."

  Yang Jiao heard Yang Jia's scolding and stood stupidly to the side, his hand extended but not retracting, Yang Jia saw him in a difficult situation and couldn't help but laugh, this laughter again triggered the pain in his chest, he couldn't help but cough loudly several times.

  Yang Jiao's straight kick, scolded: "Wu Mazi this grandson, actually beat the second brother into such a state, I'll go peel off his skin now."

  Yang Jiao wanted to leave, but Yang Jian grabbed his arm. Yang Jiao's straightforwardness was rare in Yang Jian's world, perhaps because he had seen too many hypocritical and flattering people. When he met someone like Yang Jiao, the comfort in his heart was beyond words, and all he could do was cherish it.

  Yang Chan was also anxious, she knew that Yang Jiao had a quick temper, and this matter that had just been settled would likely stir up more trouble, and at home she would definitely be scolded by her parents.

  "Big brother, don't go, didn't second brother already say? They're just minor injuries, why must we be so aggressive?"

  "Hum! Is that Wu Ma Zi being overbearing again?! Second brother, can you swallow this tone?"

  Yang Jiao's face turned bright red, his chest heaving up and down, looking like he was about to kill someone! Yang Jia only heard from Yang Chao that Wu Mazi and him were arch-enemies, but the details of their past conflicts had completely slipped his mind.

  Since he can't remember, why should he be so anxious? Now he just wants to see his parents as soon as possible.

  "Third sister is right, it's already late now. If you continue making a fuss like this, I'm afraid Father and Mother will get angry."

  "Huh?"

  Yang Jiao exclaimed in surprise, looking at Yang Ren, and said: "Second brother, is this you? In the past, that Wu Mazi would only need to say half a word against you, and you would double your efforts to get back at him. Why have you become so spineless today?"

  Yang Chan's face sank as she said: "Second brother, this is a case of a magnanimous person not remembering the wrongs done by a petty person. Big brother, your words are really unpleasant. Second brother is being generous, how can that be considered having no integrity?"

  "Hum! The punch I took will be returned, this breath I swallowed can't go down. Sooner or later, I'll get it back for my second brother." Yang Jiao said with hatred.

  His principle is that if others respect him for one foot, he will respect them for ten feet. If others hurt him with one punch, he will return it with ten punches. Hurting his family members is also within his principles.

  Yang Jiong felt a warmth in his heart, Heaven not only sent him a clever and polite sister, but also a brother who would stand up for himself, unexpectedly this jump brought him good fortune!

  Although Yang Jiao said he wanted to help Yang Jian get justice, seeing that the sky was already late, he also helped Yang Zhuo support Yang Jian into the Yang Mansion. Yang Jian did not expect that the Yang Mansion at Guanjiangkou was still a wealthy family.

  The mansion is deep and far, with listening towers and jade pavilions, small streams and ponds, fake mountains and strange rocks, everything is available, and there are also dozens of servants busy left and right. Yang Jiaolong measured his new home.

  In his heart, he couldn't help but think: "This family is also a wealthy and influential one, are the parents still the same as before?" Yang Jian thought back to his experiences in his own world, where his father was infatuated with worldly desires, and his mother had poisoned herself to death for love when he was ten years old.

  If the parents of this body were also such people, would he have to be reborn again? Yang Jian dared not think more, he did not want to disappoint himself.

  Walking on the bluestone road, a man in his mid-30s came face to face with him. The man was wearing a long gown of a scholar, with an elegant and refined air about him. His eyes were not fierce, but exceptionally spirited! His chin had no beard. He was quite tall. At first glance, he looked like a weak scholar.

  But also with some bookworm's sour air, could this person be his own father Yang Tianyou?

  Yang Tianyou saw Yang Jiao and Yang Chao supporting Yang Zhen, quickening their pace, and walked to the front of the three people, saying: "What's going on? Has Second Brother gotten into trouble again?"

  Yang Jiaolong looked up and stared straight into his eyes, seeing that although there was blame in them, there was even more kindness! The disappointment he had originally prepared in his heart was swept away, how much he had yearned to see such a gaze from his own father.

  Yang Tianyou saw him staring at himself, furrowed his brow and said: "Second son, I'm asking you a question, why are you staring at me like that? Are you trying to say how pitiful you are?"

  "I'm telling you, don't pretend to be pitiful here, honestly, haven't you gotten into trouble outside again?"

  "Second Brother got into a fight with Wu again." Yang Jiao was straightforward and quick-witted.

  Yang Jian couldn't help but laugh again, and this straightforwardness seemed not to be a good thing. Yang Chao also glared at Yang Jiao with anger, but unexpectedly, Yang Jiao looked at Yang Chao in confusion.

  "What? I'm telling the truth!"

  Yang Chan coldly snorted and smiled slightly at Yang Tianyou, saying: "Dad, don't listen to big brother's nonsense. Second brother just accidentally fell on the street and now his chest hurts a bit."

  Yang Tianyou's face turned iron-blue as he said, "Unintentionally fell? This street is flat and even, Erlang usually climbs high and low, and won't fall! How can it be so coincidental?"

  "Dad, Second Brother is after all a mortal man. As the saying goes, 'one can't walk by the river without getting their shoes wet.' It's only normal that he slipped up unintentionally, isn't it?" Yang Chan explained forcefully.

  Yang Tianyou frowned and looked at her, saying: "Cicada, you are naturally kind-hearted, but if you make a mistake, you must be punished. Your second brother has repeatedly failed to reform and is always showing off his bravery on the streets. If this goes on for long, it will inevitably lead to trouble."

  "But..."

  "Enough!" Yang Tianyou glared at Yang Chao, who swallowed her words and lowered her head with a look of grievance. Yang Tianyou's gaze shifted to Yang Jie.

  "Second Brother, is what your elder brother said true? Have you been showing off on the streets again?"

  Yang Jian didn't know how to respond. Having such a strict father made his heart much happier. He himself was clearly the one who had gotten into an argument with that Wu Mazi.

  Admitting it would disappoint Yang Jiao's good intentions, while not admitting it might provoke Big Brother Yang Jiao. After some thought, Yang Jia nodded, although Yang Jiao had good intentions, what she said was a lie! He didn't want to see Yang Jiao telling lies often.

  Yang Jiao saw Yang Zong admit it and hastily begged for mercy: "Dad, second brother has already been injured, so don't punish him again."

  Yang Tianyou let out a long sigh and said, "You guys, when will you ever grow up? Da Lang, take Er Lang to apply some medicine first. Don't think that just because you're injured, you won't be punished. Er Lang, you can't have dinner tonight."

  "And you cicada! Don't eat anymore."

  Yang Jian hastily said: "Third sister is also well-intentioned, this is all my own fault, I hope you won't punish third sister."

  Yang Tianyou coldly snorted and said, "Xian'er is still young but already knows how to lie. If this continues, it will be a disaster in the future! I'll punish them together! Husband, supervise these two people, don't let them eat or drink water."

  Yang Tianyou finished speaking, turned and left, looking at his angry back, Yang Jiaolong smiled happily. On the side, Yang Jiao looked at the smile on his mouth and asked: "Second brother, are you stupid? Being scolded by dad can still make you laugh?"

  Yang Jian smiled and said: "Of course, I can laugh it out. If you were me, maybe you could even laugh louder." His current mood and situation, only he himself could understand.

  The things he didn't get before his death, he got after rebirth, this kind of happiness belongs only to him.

  "Haha, you can just die from laughing!" Yang Chan said angrily by her side.

  Yang Jian knew she must be angry with herself.

  "Third sister, sorry, I know you meant well..."

  "Don't you know it's good intentions? You're still not grateful?" Yang Chuan stomped her foot in anger, turned around and walked away, but after a few steps, she turned back. She said to the two of them, "Big brother, aren't you going to take second brother to apply medicine quickly?"

  Yang Jian and Yang Jiao exchanged a smile, and Yang Jiao led Yang Jian to the medicine room. This Yang Manor was indeed fully equipped, which surprised Yang Jian. Unexpectedly, Yang Jiao was knowledgeable about medicine, busily moving around, placing several medicinal herbs into a mortar and grinding them up with practiced ease.

  "Big brother, I didn't expect you to have studied medicine too?" Yang Jia smiled and praised.

  Yang Jiaotou didn't even lift his head, continuing to mix the medicine, and replied, "You just know? I practice martial arts every day, getting injured is a common occurrence. Letting the imperial physician treat me would be slower than doing it myself. This medicine now, treats your wound, you seem to have internal injuries!

  "I'll make you another bowl of nourishing medicine!"

  "Thank you big brother, by the way, where's mom?"
