After that, Shu Yao gained two little bodyguards.
Yuan Zixin still peed at his feet. Every time he did it, he made Shu Yao extremely angry. Since Shu Yao couldn't move, he could only shake the leaves on his head to show his dissatisfaction.
Nannan was much more gentle. Most of the day, she leaned against Shu Yao's legs to rest. When she got tired of sitting, she would let Yuan Zixin take her place. Yuan Zixin still didn't learn his lesson. Every time he saw Shu Yao, he would pee once. Thanks to his boyish urine, Shu Yao grew stronger.
Seeing his own changes, Shu Yao couldn't say whether he was happy or sad. He refused to admit in his heart that his cultivation base was all due to that naughty boy's watering. Although it was extremely nourishing, it was still a bit embarrassing to be watered so blatantly by a child.
That night, when the two children were asleep, someone came to dig the tree again. Maybe Yuan Zixin was used to peeing on Shu Yao. That night, when he felt the urge to pee, he sleepily walked up to Shu Yao. But before he could untie his pants, he saw several strange faces prying at the tree in the dark.
"Who are you?" Seeing them, Yuan Zixin immediately pulled up his pants and shouted at the top of his voice.
The men were stunned for a moment, then sped up their actions.
Although his voice was childish, it was clear and loud. After just a few shouts, he woke up the sleeping Nannan.
The door creaked. A little foot stepped out. Nannan came out of the house sleepily, mumbling, "Yuan Zixin, what are you shouting about? Let people sleep."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step, Yuan Zixin excitedly roared at her, "Stupid girl, don't come here. Go to the West Village to find your mother. Someone is trying to dig up our spiritual tree!"
Nannan was also quick-witted. Seeing the men with shovels, she knew what was going on. Immediately, she took off like the wind towards the West Village.
But before she could run two steps, she was grabbed by the tree-diggers and thrown into the pit where the old tree demon was. Her face was covered with dirty mud.
"Nannan!" Yuan Zixin's eyes widened angrily when he saw her fall into the pit.
How dare they bully Nannan like this? Besides him, who had the right to bully Nannan?
Yuan Zixin angrily clenched his fists, let out a big shout, and without hesitation, rushed towards the tree-diggers.
"Damn it, you little brat!" One of the men saw Yuan Zixin coming, dropped his shovel, and punched him in the face.
Yuan Zixin's face immediately swelled on one side, but he still refused to admit defeat. He rushed up bare-handed to fight with these people.
He was kicked again, and Yuan Zixin felt a tearing pain in his chest.
"Zixin!" Nannan finally climbed out of the pit and saw Yuan Zixin being beaten violently.
"Don't beat him!" Nannan rushed up and hugged a man's leg tightly.
"Get out of the way, you little bitch!" The man whose leg was hugged shook it, but Nannan didn't budge. So he hit her hard on the back with a shovel.
Nannan let out a muffled groan and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yuan Zixin was no better. He was kicked to the ground, covering his chest and gasping for breath. It seemed that he had suffered serious internal injuries.
Shu Yao sighed heartache. He had no kinship with these two children. Why did they go to such lengths for him? The old tree demon was the same before. If it weren't for this accident, he wouldn't have known that he and the old tree demon were so important in the hearts of these two children.
Although Nannan was spitting blood, she still hugged the man's leg tightly and wouldn't let go no matter how he shook.
Although Yuan Zixin was seriously injured, he immediately got up after being injured and continued to fight against these tree thieves.
Silly children, Shu Yao sighed in his heart. Soon, the corners of his eyes became a bit moist.
"Please don't dig up Grandpa Tree. Grandpa Tree has grown up with me since I was a child. Please don't dig him up, okay!" Nannan pleaded hoarsely, but the tree-diggers still had cold faces and remained unmoved. Maybe they had shoveled to Shu Yao's roots. Shu Yao let out a muffled groan, a drop of cold sweat fell, and the leaves on his head trembled three times.
Grandpa Tree... Well, compared to them, he was indeed old.
"Which heartless bastard is digging our tree? I'll chop you to death!" Suddenly, a rough female voice came from not far away. Looking closely, it was Nannan's mother.
The chubby woman rushed over with a firewood knife in her hand, looking fierce and walking vigorously. But she didn't expect the ground in front to be uneven. Running too fast, she lost her balance and fell to the ground in a mess. The firewood knife also happened to chop on one man's foot.
"Ouch, my foot!" The man whose foot was chopped stood on one leg, holding his foot and howling on the spot.
"Damn woman, I think you don't want to live anymore!" One of the men saw this situation, his eyes immediately showing a fierce light. He raised his knife and chopped at Nannan's mother. But halfway through the chop, his hand was firmly grasped by a strong hand.
"Do you really think there are no men in our family?" The little thief looked up and saw a strong man half a head taller than him. The strong man snorted, picked up the little thief above his head, and threw him far away.
The amazing strength shocked everyone. Before they could react, they were thrown out one by one. Then the strong man picked up Nannan on the ground, holding her in his arms and saying lovingly, "Oh, my daughter. How could you be beaten so badly? If you want to beat someone, it should be that naughty boy Yuan Zixin..."
At this time, Yuan Zixin was barely breathing. Hearing this, he felt a surge of blood in his chest. Finally, he was so angry that he fainted.
"Hey, kid from the Yuan family, wake up, wake up..."
Shu Yao's foundation was damaged, so he could only fall into a deep sleep to recuperate. When he opened his eyes again, twenty years had passed...
When he opened his eyes, he saw a child who looked like Yuan Zixin peeing at his feet.
Shu Yao: "..."
He was immediately puzzled. Twenty years had passed. Why was Yuan Zixin still so small?
"Child, don't pee everywhere. Go to the latrine to pee."
A tall and straight young man walked out of the house and said.
Beside him, there was a cute and petite woman who looked very much like Nannan back then.
Could they be...
Shu Yao had some clues in his mind.
Unexpectedly, the two who had desperately protected him back then had grown up so much, and there was also a little Zixin.
Shu Yao's existence had run through their whole lives, from childhood, youth, middle age to old age.
He still remembered that evening when the two old people leaned against his feet, talking about the past.
That scene was warm and peaceful, and unforgettable.
"Old man, you said this tree has accompanied us for so long. It's like our old friend. Seeing us grow old together, it must be very gratified."
"Hehe, cough, it must be gratified. After all, it was my urine that raised it. It's only natural for it to be happy for us."
"You old fool, always talking nonsense. You're still so naughty even at this old age." Although Nannan's expression couldn't be seen on her wrinkled skin, Shu Yao could still feel her inner joy and gratitude.
"Cough cough, I was born this way. I can't change it, can't change it."
"Why do you need to change? I like it this way." Nannan rested her head on Yuan Zixin's body and fell into a deep sleep.
Yuan Zixin said that as long as she liked it and then fell asleep too.
This sleep was eternal, because they never woke up again.
