The two of them were very happy.

……

At noon, Shen Tong returned home and found that his parents had returned.

His mother, Azeya, was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, while his stepfather, Jeff, was sorting the cherries he had picked in the yard.

"Shen Tong, you're back." Azeya smiled dotingly when she saw her son.

"Is Eric not back yet?" Shen Tong walked to the living room, looked around, picked up the water cup on the table and drank a few sips of cold water and asked.

"I was just about to tell you about this."

"Mom would like to trouble you to run another trip to call my brother back for dinner."

"Oh?" Shen Tong was surprised when she heard this.

"I don't know what's wrong with Eric recently. He always comes home late."

"Especially the night before yesterday, he came back after dark and got all muddy. He said he accidentally fell in a mud puddle."

"Hey, he's getting more and more outrageous."

"It seems I have to take time to take care of him in the future." Azeya said with a headache.

Shentong smiled awkwardly after hearing this. It was the first time he saw his mother complaining about his brother.

But he is his brother after all, and as an older brother, he can't just stand by and watch him die.

Shentong smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Mom, don't be angry."

"My brother is still a child. It's normal for him to be playful."

"Maybe he played too much with his friends outside. I'll remind him when I come back."

"Oh, there's really no way. I have to trouble you to make another trip."

"It's okay, mother. I don't think it's a hassle."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Azeya nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, Shen Tong left home and went outside to look for Eric.

First, he came to the church.

Eric's favorite place to go is the church. Before leaving in the morning, he also said that he would come to attend the class.

But when Shen Tong found Father Cliff to ask, the other party said that his brother had left long ago.

"Eric has been away for a long time, what? Hasn't he come home yet?"

Cliff was puzzled when he learned the situation.

"Not yet, my mother is complaining about my brother at home."

"Could something have happened?" Cliff immediately worried.

Shen Tong frowned slightly when he heard this. Although this possibility is not great, the village is often harassed by wild beasts, especially in remote forests.

When he thought of this, Shen Tong's heart was lifted, so he waved goodbye quickly.

"Thank you, Father Cliff, let's talk next time when we are free."

After that, he was ready to leave the church.

"Wait a minute..."

One foot had just stepped out of the church gate when Cliff called him again.

"Don't leave in a hurry, Shentong, you finally came to me."

"I heard that you became a bounty hunter when you entered the city this time."

"It's amazing. You have the courage to face bad guys at the age of 12." Cliff praised with an admiring expression.

Shentong was embarrassed by what he said, and hurriedly smiled modestly: "No, I'm just lucky..."

"Whether it's luck or not, this courage is rare and precious."

"At your current age, if you have the opportunity in the future, you may be able to change your job to become a vampire hunter."

Speaking of this, Cliff's face with glasses revealed a deep look.

Shentong was also stunned after hearing this. He suddenly felt that Cliff in front of him had a hint of unusual aura.

However, it soon flashed away.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Hurry and find Eric to go home."

"Well, Mr. Cliff, goodbye then."

After a simple greeting, Shentong left the church and continued to look for his brother.

To save time, he went directly to the system for help.

"Host, your brother is in the forest to the west with several other people."

The system quickly gave the answer.

"With several other people..." Shen Tong frowned after hearing it.

In his impression, Eric didn't have many friends. How could he suddenly be with several people, and in a remote place like the forest.

Shen Tong, who felt something was wrong, ran over there at full speed.

The scene changed.

In the forest to the west of the village, Eric was surrounded by five or six boys.

This was a group of children, generally young.

Among them, the leader was a 13-year-old boy with short wine-red hair, a fat body, and uneven freckles on his face.

Simon, the name of the red-haired boy, was the child bully in the village. He usually liked to bully younger children for fun.

"Please... don't bother me anymore..." Eric's face was full of fear

He looked at them fearfully and begged for mercy in a low voice.

Simon laughed evilly after hearing this, "That won't do. The last game hasn't ended yet."

"That's right, hurry up and cooperate." Several little followers also urged him.

"No... please let me go."

"After returning that night, my mother has begun to doubt me." Eric begged in a weak voice.

"Shut up! I don't care!"

"If you want to blame someone, blame your brother Shentong. Who made him humiliate me before." Simon said with a gloomy face.

"Ah?!"

"Brother... I'm sorry, I really don't know about this kind of thing."

"If my brother did anything excessive, I'll apologize to you." Eric quickly replied in a cowardly manner.

"Tsk."

Simon smacked his lips in disdain and looked at Eric with contempt.

The reason why he was looking for trouble with Eric was indeed mainly related to Shentong.

Simon had once caused trouble for Shen Tong, but was beaten up by him. Since then, they never dared to cause trouble again.

However, since Simon dared to be a child bully, he would definitely not give up easily.

Not long ago, he heard that Shen Tong had entered the city and became a bounty hunter. Simon, who had been waiting for revenge, began to get restless.

Because he thought that Shen Tong would take a long time to come back, he aimed his revenge at Eric.

The unlucky Eric was shot while lying down. He was beaten by Simon for several consecutive days, and he didn't dare to tell his parents, so he could only endure it silently.

I thought that compromise would be exchanged for preferential treatment, but I didn't expect the other party to get worse.

This time, Simon brought Eric here to play a bee bath.

What is a bee bath?

It is to apply honey on the body and let the bees in the deep forest sting. It is very cruel. It is hard to imagine that this is something a 13-year-old child thought of.

"Eric, if you want to blame someone, blame your brother. Who made your family have such a freak?"

"I really don't know what your father was thinking. He actually accepted this mother and son."

"That's right. According to tradition, you should be expelled."

"Maybe it was because her mother used to fool around with the barbarians and gave birth to a mixed-blood bastard like Shentong, so she was driven away from her hometown."

"Haha, that must be the case."

"Look at their family. The mother is a bitch, the brother is a mixed-blood bastard, and the father used to be a groom who worked as a servant for others."

"It's his turn to become a coward. It's really disgusting."

"It turns out that no matter what the low bloodline is, the children born are all lowly."

"If I were the village chief, I would send their whole family to be slaves. Otherwise, staying in the village would simply bring shame to our village."

Several little followers mocked and insulted one after another.

Although Eric has a good temper, he can't stand being insulted in front of his family.

"Shut up! Don't insult my parents. My brother is not a bastard!" Eric said angrily.

Simon and others were stunned for a moment, then laughed arrogantly.

"Why, do you want to resist? Just a skinny coward like you."

"It seems that you have forgotten the lesson last time. Do you want me to help you remember it?" Simon rubbed his fist with a bad expression.

Eric's face turned pale and he retreated. "Don't come over, or I'll tell Brother Shentong."

Hehe... OK, go call your brother. "Simon sneered without panic after hearing this: "Oh, by the way, he is not at home."

"I heard that Shentong ran away to be a bounty hunter. He really overestimates his ability."

"I really hope this bastard dies outside and never comes back." Simon cursed viciously.

"Shut up! "

Eric couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed forward with his eyes closed to fight Simon.

Simon saw this with a face full of contempt, raised his hand and punched Eric who was rushing towards him.

Bang!

With a dull sound, the fist hit Eric's face directly, twisting and deforming the half of his white and tender face.

"Ah..."

Eric was knocked to the ground by a punch, and the thin boy curled up on the ground and screamed in pain.

The gap between the two was too big, after all, Simon was a 13-year-old boy.

Then Simon walked up proudly, stood beside Eric and looked down coldly, "Smelly boy, you really dare to attack me?"

"I just wanted to teach you a lesson, it seems that I have to teach you a lesson today."

"Who made you the younger brother of that bastard."

"Thomas, teach him a lesson!" Simon said to a yellow-haired boy with a smirk.

"Yes, boss. "The boy named Thomas immediately rushed over with other children and beat and kicked Eric without mercy.

Poor Eric was beaten and wailed, holding his head helplessly and huddled together.

Get up.

"Brother, brother, where are you..."

"Come and save me..."

"Woo woo woo..."

Just when Eric was helpless and in pain, a figure jumped down from the tree.

"Stop it!"
