Xing Lian opened his eyes right in the water, and the last image he remembered was his long sword piercing through the □□□□, blood spreading.
　　He didn't know where he was, but the fatal choking sensation and the shifting silhouettes made him boil with murderous intent. But he tried to draw back his wrist and found himself horribly weak.
　　He hadn't been this powerless in a long, long time.
　　It was good that he quickly recognized the reality that the other man seemed to be rescuing him, and that the two of them were entangled in the water plants, and if they didn't get out of the trap, they were going to both drown.
　　Xing Lian simply flicked out a spiritual energy, resolving the water plants and being dragged up to the surface by the other party.
　　After that Xing Lian was confused and was sent back to the Zhou family.
　　It slowly dawned on him that he was back in the human realm. To be exact, it was back to the halcyon days when he was young and a parasite.
　　The Heavenly Dao is really fierce, it can even turn back time.
　　Xing Lian directly ignored the sounds of the outside world, and under the guise of being unconscious, he examined the Spiritual Platform Inner Mansion in the Sea of Consciousness.
　　His physical body had gone up in smoke in the lightning tribulation, but his Yuan Shen from the Transitional Stage was actually still there, only temporarily trapped in this current body.
　　Xing Lian: Heh.
　　So much for the way of heaven.
　　During the time Xing Lian was looking inward, his aunt and uncle neither called a doctor for him nor allowed anyone to control him, he simply pinched a small formation and set up a ban on the door so that no one could enter.
　　Only after he had cleared his thoughts and mobilized the aura around him to mend his body did he break away from his initiation.
　　Then he heard noisy voices at the door and the high-pitched voice of his former aunt:
　　"Tang Leshan! How dare you hurt someone in my courtyard! I'm going to report this to the police, you'll wait for jail time!"
　　*
　　The Tang family's domestic servants were all tall and big, the Zhou family's subordinates were no match at all, and were suppressed in an instant, so Mrs. Zhou had to yell and spill her guts.
　　Tang Leshan did not find another chance to show his performance except to shake off Master Zhou, and when he heard Mrs. Zhou's shout, he smiled blandly, "Don't be so agitated, what did you say when you met with the official masters? Say you abuse your children and nephews, or say you are trafficking in human beings? You have to think about it, or else you won't be able to explain to your neighbors when the time comes."
　　Although Tang Leshan didn't understand the local laws, on the way here, he had asked the old housekeeper that the Zhou family's approach was undesirable. Nowadays, society was stable and the people were living in peace and happiness, even if there was no law on the protection of minors, a man like this, who was not yet a weakling, could not be betrothed. Can be betrothed, but let a teenage child to serve more than seventy old man, can not be counted as a normal marriage, not against the law, but it is not good to say.
　　Mrs. Zhou's face turned into a pig's liver color: "Don't spit on me! How did we mistreat him? We didn't sell him! Who doesn't scold their children? It's you, Mr. Tang, who came to our house and provoked us for no reason, what are you doing?"
　　"Of course it's kind," Tang Leshan blurted out, "I'll see how he's doing physically first, and I'll talk to you ...... later."
　　Before he finished his sentence, the wooden door behind him, creaked open.
　　Tang Leshan turned around in response to the sound, and a thin silhouette, walked out from the darkened doorway.
　　Xing Lian had been treated harshly by his aunt and uncle since he was a child, so he was thinner than his peers, and wore only ordinary coarse clothes. Because of the water, the clothes are wrinkled and half-dried, and his hair is also gnarled together, the whole person is down and unkempt, no different from the beggars on the side of the road.
　　But despite this, it was still hard to hide his amazing beauty.
　　His skin is so white that it is transparent, his lips are moist and red, his high nose extends from the tip of the nose, his two eyes are lined with thick eyelashes that are dark and bright, matched with long and delicate eyebrows, bright and colorful. Perhaps the age is still young, this face has no gender distinction, beautiful male and female indistinguishable.
　　Tang Leshan's line of sight, thus caught off guard, collided with Xing Lian, who had no joy or sorrow in his eyes, calmly staring at him.
　　Tang Leshan's heart clenched hard.
　　It wasn't because of Xing Lian's beauty, but this instant, it was as if he saw his young self.
　　*
　　After Tang Leshan was born, his parents were busy with their business and left him in the countryside to be taken care of by his grandma and grandpa. The old man is old, with children all rely on intuition, tube mouth food is not bad, relatives and neighbors from time to time to laugh at his parents do not want him, the old man also followed the laugh, only a small him in fear.
　　When he was in elementary school, Tang Leshan was taken back to the city by his parents. It was then that he realized that his parents had a younger brother in the city.
　　Compared to his younger brother, Tang Leshan, who grew up in the countryside, is gray and slow and mute, and his parents' attention is focused on his younger brother, often ignoring Tang Leshan.
　　Tang Leshan can't get the attention of his parents, and he can't integrate into the group at school. He is withdrawn, and his grades are at the bottom of the list, so his teachers communicate with his parents, and all they get in return is their complaints and reproaches, and no one asks him if he can adapt to the fast-paced city, and no one asks him if he can keep up with the progress of the school, and it seems like he has let everyone down, but he's obviously just an elementary school student.
　　*
　　The fragments of memories just flashed by, but Tang Leshan felt like he understood Xing Lian.
　　Xing Lian's calmness was a state of having experienced many disappointments and a complete break with the world.
　　"Hello."
　　Tang Leshan walked up to Xing Lian, bowed his waist to level with Xing Lian, and said in a soft tone, "I'm Tang Leshan."
　　In his last life, he had also rescued teenagers, and most children of this age group were sensitive and most avoided condescending postures. So he tried to be cordial and smile sincerely:
　　"I'm the one who pulled you out of the water, I'm a good person, don't be afraid."
　　As soon as the words left his mouth, Xing Lian did as he expected and took half a step back, his eyes on alert.
　　Unfortunately, Tang Leshan's fleshly eyes were too mortal to see the spiritual power entwined in Xing Lian's fingertips, which could kill him in an instant.
　　Tang Leshan didn't move for fear of putting pressure on Xing Lian, standing still and asking, "Are you willing to come with me? There's a lot of good food in my mansion, I'll buy you new clothes and send you to the academy."
　　"Tang Leshan! In broad daylight, do you want to rob someone?!"
　　Mrs. Zhou was anxious first, and if it wasn't for the Tang Mansion's houseguests stopping her, she would have rushed up at this moment.
　　In the past, she hoped that her sister would be able to compete, and the child could not be a government concubine, so she was treated well, and did not let Xing Lian suffer from cold and hunger. Of course, a beating and a scolding is nothing, the child is to be disciplined.
　　But her sister is really bad luck, more than ten years, did not even fight for a fart, a year ago simply disappeared, not even give them the money to raise the child. They're not running a charity, are they raising a half-grown man for nothing?
　　The good thing is that Xing Lian is a good-looking woman, and she has not been missed since she was a child. That Wang is at least a decent family, she remembered the past love, so she chose the Wang family, otherwise the pimp of the brothel, can be out to two hundred taels of silver to buy a person it!
　　Master Zhou followed suit and helped, "Standing around talking doesn't hurt, do you know how much silver it costs to raise a child?"
　　Mrs. Zhou: "You can take people away if you want to, you have to take five hundred taels of silver!"
　　Tang Leshan completely ignored them, still smilingly looking at Xing Lian. Xing Lian's fair face revealed a hint of doubt, as if he didn't understand what Tang Leshan had said.
　　In fact, Xing Lian was thinking that this person had saved him in his last life, and he had saved the other person in this life, so it was sort of a two-way street, so what was this person still doing here? Instead, he put himself in such a situation.
　　Speaking of which ......
　　Xing Lian's eyelashes fluttered as she shifted her gaze to look at her aunt and uncle outside.
　　It's better to kill these ants.
　　The idea of killing was just born, only to see Tang Leshan straighten his waist, fling his wide sleeves, and turn his head, "Uncle Liu, pay the money."
　　Xing Lian: "......"
　　"Your Excellency!" Liu Bo was shocked and repeated with wide eyes, "What are you?"
　　"Did you bring silver tickets?" Tang Leshan didn't hesitate at all. Is there a safer way than "bringing the villain with you"?
　　No!
　　Tang Leshan think the idea is good, see the old housekeeper nodded, then afraid of the Zhou family regret as if: "Zhou master, pen and ink wait for it, let's set up a good note, five hundred taels, the person returns to me, shall not be reversed."
　　The Zhou family was also in a state of confusion, what kind of fool could spend 500 taels on someone? Are you crazy?
　　Mrs. Zhou reacted first, urging her subordinates, "Don't go yet!"
　　That's 500 taels! If you miss this fool, you won't find another one!
　　The subordinate moved quickly, fetched a pen and ink, and, with Liu Bo at the helm, drew up a deed of sale--
　　The main reason is that Tang Leshan doesn't know how to use a brush or those literary sentences.
　　After writing, the two sides have no objection, Liu Bo gave the silver check, Zhou family signed and fingerprinted, Tang Leshan took away the deed of sale.
　　"Go Little Lian," Mrs. Zhou said with a smile instead of a huff, "When you get to the Tang Mansion, listen to what Duke Tang has to say!"
　　Tang Leshan released his heart and smiled at Xing Lian once again, "Come with me, let's go out and talk."
　　Xing Lian watched them busy the entire time, and in his heart, he only felt ridiculous. A few mortals, how dare they presume to decide whether he stays or goes?
　　With a slight movement of his fingers, a talisman, invisible to mortals, was attached to the back of Aunt Abbot's hand through the air. Aunt Abbot was oblivious and was already joyfully preparing to send him off.
　　Then he said nothing, glanced at Tang Leshan, lifted his foot and headed for the door.
　　Tang Leshan followed suit, and the Tang Mansion's household servants withdrew from the Zhou Family one after another.
　　*
　　When the Zhou family's door closed behind them, Tang Leshan handed Xing Lian the deed of sale.
　　Xing Lian looked toward him again.
　　"Keep it, don't lose it." Tang Leshan said, "If they find you in the future to play a scoundrel, this is the proof that you have nothing to do with them."
　　After saying that, he patted the carriage at the door, "Get in, let's go home."
　　Tang Leshan was quite afraid that Xing Lian would be stubborn and refuse to go with him. Although he had paid money to buy Xing Lian's person, his consciousness was still that of a modern man, that money was only for getting out of the trap, and should not restrict the child's freedom. So even with the contract of sale, Xing Lian was not his subordinate, but an independent person.
　　He had thought of all the words of persuasion, and if Xing Lian wanted to make a scene, he was prepared.
　　As a result, Xing Lian was very cooperative, pondering for a moment before getting into the carriage.
　　Tang Leshan was secretly relieved.
　　*
　　Xing Lian spoke little and was silent the whole way. Tang Leshan didn't want to scare Xing Lian and chanted the closed mouth meditation together.
　　Back at the Tang Mansion, the subordinates were urged to move by Tang Leshan.
　　The old housekeeper arranged for someone to boil water to wait for Xing Lian to bathe, someone to go to the kitchen to cook, and he himself personally went to the storehouse, looking for Tang Leshan's clothes from back then.
　　In a house like Tang's, the master's clothes were changed and made new from time to time. Those that were worn, or made to be small before they could be worn, would be registered in the inventory.
　　While the subordinate took Xing Lian to freshen up, Tang Leshan waited and ran through his thoughts.
　　Since the villain he encountered was not inherently anti-social, there was still a great deal of plasticity! Tang Leshan himself, born under the red flag, grew up in the spring breeze, still felt in his bones that he should go to school at a young age, and as long as he returned to a normal life, coupled with a certain amount of care, he would definitely be able to embark on the right path!
　　Let him give Xing Lian, the warmth from socialism!
　　*
　　By the time Xing Lian freshened up and came to the main hall, the meal was already set up.
　　The original master's clothes from when he was a teenager, although slightly old in color, the gorgeous fabric was still graceful and elegant, and when worn on Xing Lian, it set Xing Lian off even more beautifully.
　　Little Peach even exclaimed, "Wow, Little Gongzi is so pretty!"
　　Tang Leshan realized at this moment that Xing Lian was indeed good looking, and if placed in the modern era, it was the level where he could make it on his face.
　　What's the point of being a villain when you look like this? It's okay to be a random dude.
　　Tang Leshan smiled and said with extra gentleness, "Sit, are you hungry, eat."
　　Xing Lian saw that Tang Leshan should be the legendary rotten good guy who liked to do good deeds, going down and spending money for him, a stranger.
　　This kind of person is still not easy to get rid of, even if you kill them, it will only add to the trouble.
　　So he'll just put on a show, play along with the other guy, and muddle through today.
　　Thinking about this, Xing Lian said the first thing he said after the meeting, "Thank you for rescuing me, I'll pay you back the silver."
　　"There's no need to return it," Tang Leshan lightly brought up the topic and turned to the key, "In the future, you'll stay in the Tang residence, do you want to go to a private school, or do you want to study in the residence? I can hire a gentleman for you."
