Douluo: Master Yao Chen

Chapter 14: An Interlude on Departure to the Blue Silver Forest
Outside the Holy Soul Village, on a hill somewhere, Tang Yin was carrying on his shoulder the small package that Old Jack had packed for him overnight, and was looking at the extremely familiar village below with some reluctance in his eyes.

Yao Chen stood aside with his arms crossed, "You're leaving just like that, without even saying hello to your grandfather?"

"After saying hello, I couldn't bear to leave, and I left a note for grandpa."

On the top of the mountain, Tang Yin sighed. Although he was such a small person, he said something very mature, which made Yao Chen look at him sideways.

The little thing knows a lot.

Then he should just keep some things in his heart.

For example, old Jack in the next room tossed and turned all night and hid in the house early in the morning, watching Tang Yin leave.

Tang Yin asked, "Where are we going?"

Yao Chen recalled the place Ah Yin told him about and pointed to the east, "Let's go there!"

Following the direction Yao Chen pointed, Tang Yin stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance. Naturally, he saw nothing, but he didn't care. He cared more about how to get there.

He looked up at Yao Chen floating beside him, then looked down at his short legs with a shocked expression, "Are we going to walk there?!"

"if not?"

"My grandfather used to take me to the market and he would always harness a donkey cart!"

"You're so hypocritical!"

In front of a steamed bun stall, as the steamer was opened, a thick white steam with heat surged up.

Accompanied by the vendor's loud shouting, "Selling buns, steaming hot, freshly baked, white and plump big buns!"

"Boss, boss, two meat buns and two vegetable buns, please!"

In front of the shop, a short figure stopped and asked for four buns very generously.

When a customer came, the boss swiftly picked up a thick green leaf, took out four plump white buns from the steamer, packed them, and handed them to the little man in front of him.

"Thank you for your patronage. I'll give you fourteen bronze soul coins!"

Tang Yin took the bun handed to him by the boss. The aroma of meat and flour made him dizzy after a whole day's journey. His mouth was watering. He took out fourteen copper soul coins from his pocket to pay the bill. Regardless of the freshly-oven heat, he couldn't wait to pick up a bun and take a bite.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes lit up, and he chewed while breathing in cold air, without any gentlemanly attitude at all.

After a while, all four buns were eaten by Tang Yin. After eating, he did not forget to lick the grease from the buns on his hands to avoid waste.

This made Yao Chen, who was hiding in the ring, speechless. He simply turned his gaze away and concentrated on observing the things around him.

Suddenly, not far behind Tang Yin, two figures who seemed to be strolling but were actually sly and secretly following successfully attracted Yao Chen's attention.

"A fish is hooked!"

Yao Chen's voice suddenly rang in his mind. Tang Yin was delighted and left the bun stall and ran on the streets of the town.

Tang Yin didn't want to walk by himself. Although Yao Chen wanted to train this kid well, he also knew that time was running out and couldn't be wasted. After some hesitation, he decided to spend some money to buy Tang Yin a horse for transportation.

As a result, he took out the package that old Jack had prepared for Tang Yin and carefully counted the money inside. It was hard to even buy a donkey, let alone a horse!

Yao Chen was deliberately making things difficult for Tang Yin, as if to say, "If you can afford it, buy it, and if you can't, just walk away." This only made Tang Yin, a little kid, so angry that he gritted his teeth.

As a result, Tang Yin slapped his head and came up with a good idea.

The surrounding areas of this village and the people living in the town are actually not very peaceful, and kidnappers often appear.

Tang Yin used to follow Old Jack and heard many stories about children being abducted from many families. In addition to children, women were also abducted, and there were also many men who were abducted, causing families to be broken up.

Whenever Old Jack heard that something had happened in a village, he would lock Tang Yin up at home for a while and not allow him to run around.

He was young, at the age when he loved to play and was even disliked by dogs. But he was tied up at home without any freedom, which made Tang Yin hate those kidnappers to the core.

He had no chance and no strength before, but now with the mysterious and powerful Medicine Grandpa by his side, Tang Yin's little calculations started to work.

After discussing with Yao Chen, he would use himself as bait to trap kidnappers in villages and towns, and then Yao Lao would take action to deal with them. The money and benefits he would get were decided by Tang Yin's angry but silent eyes. He would take two and Yao Chen would take eight.

For Yao Chen, these silver and other things are worthless even if you bring a mountain of gold and silver to him, he might not even bat an eyelid. However, after watching old Jack educate his children over the years, he, a guy with extremely little parenting experience, has learned a lot.

That is, you can't raise a child to have the habit of asking for everything. You have to let him know that everything is hard to come by, so that he can learn to cherish it, so as to avoid his weak character in the future and easily go astray. This accounted for 80%, and it was just a teaching for Tang Yin.

There is no need for any acting skills, Tang Yin just plays himself, like a busy little bird, constantly shuttling through the streets of the town.

He stopped at the snack stall for a while, then lingered at the toy stall. All kinds of colorful masks and wooden swords and halberds were very attractive to Tang Yin, who had always lived in the Holy Soul Village.

He is also very generous with his sweet and delicious snacks. Buy them!

Various toys to buy!

Soon, many things were hanging on Xiaoxiao's body. She also held a piece of dessert in her hand, taking a bite from time to time, which attracted the attention of others.

Some people glanced at Tang Yin's plain and simple clothes, and as well as his extravagant behavior, they speculated that he might be some naughty kid who had stolen money from his parents without telling them and spent it at will.

Just as he was contentedly walking out of the town with his bags on his shoulders, the two people who had been following Tang Yin from behind could no longer hold back. They looked at each other, one of them quickened his pace, and the other actually ran into the shadows.

Just after Tang Yin turned a corner, a shadow fell from the sky and the figure flashed. There was no trace of the child on the path around the corner.

On a remote path outside the town, two figures walked side by side.

One tall and one short, one fat and one thin.

The fat man was carrying a bulging gray package on his back, and occasional sounds of struggle and whimpering could be heard from inside.

Feeling the movement inside, the fat man smiled brightly, "I didn't expect that we could encounter such a good thing on the first day. Look at its strength, it will definitely sell for a good price."

"That's right, she's not bad looking, and many people like her."

The thin man took over the topic, and a lewd smile appeared on his skinny face.

Inside the package, Tang Yin, with his mouth covered, changed to a more comfortable position, "Grandpa Yao, when are we going to start?"

"Wait a minute, there is an abandoned wooden house ahead, probably their lair. Do you remember how I taught you to use your soul power to move your fist?"

“I remember!”

With a creaking sound, a tattered wooden door was pushed open. The fat man casually put down the package containing Tang Yin, and fanned his chubby, flushed face with his hands to create an artificial cool breeze for himself, "Wow, this little thing is not light!"

"Come, come, let me open the cloth bag and let the baby breathe. Don't let it suffocate." As he spoke, the tall and thin man quickly untied the cloth bag.

The moment it was opened, a small figure jumped out of the bag and rushed straight to the chin of the master man.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the tall and thin man flew backwards with blood in his mouth, hit the ground with the back of his head, and fainted.

"Wow!"

Seeing this scene, Tang Yin couldn't help but stare at his own hands that were as chubby as white steamed buns in amazement. He, he actually had such power? !

There was still some green flashing on his fist, which was the result of him transferring the little soul power in his body to his hand.

This sudden change was too sudden. Not only Tang Yin was confused, but the fat man standing next to him was also confused. However, he was a kidnapper after all, so after a brief moment of confusion, he subconsciously turned around and ran away.

But before Tang Yin could catch up, the fat man suddenly trembled and fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Seeing this scene, Tang Yin muttered, "I can handle it by myself!"

"Tsk, just you?"

Yao Lao, who reappeared, sighed and said, "With the little soul power in your body, you can attack with one or two punches by surprise, but if you chase a few more steps and run out of soul power, you will be no different from an ordinary child."

"I get 20% for being the bait, and if you kill one of them, you have to give me 30% at least!"

"Don't interrupt. Time is short and the task is heavy. Follow my instructions and go dig out their money quickly."

Tang Yin searched the wooden house according to Yao Chen's instructions, "What should we do with these two guys? They must have captured a lot of children in the past."

"Throw them at the entrance of the Spirit Hall, someone will take care of them!"
