Insufficient balance

  That year, Ye Yizhe was only seven years old. One day, he couldn't bear to read books anymore and took advantage of Yezhang's nap time to sneak into town to play. He saw a few people bullying three women in an alley, pulling them around. The leader shouted: "Hand over your money, otherwise this little girl is quite good-looking, should be able to sell for a lot of money. This bigger one, heh heh, let's have our brothers play with her."

  "We've already given you all our money, where's the rest?" The mother said timidly, clinging tightly to her daughter with one hand, afraid that the people in front of her would snatch her away. For a family that had been reduced to poverty, her daughter was the only thing she cared about.

  "No money? Hmph, who doesn't know that your deceased husband left behind a Tianzhu? You actually dare to deceive me by saying you have no money? Be honest with me, I came here today specifically for that Tianzhu. As long as you hand it over, I'll spare you today. If not, then don't blame me for being impolite."

  "That's the keepsake my husband left me, and I won't give it to you no matter what," the mother said, glancing at her chest, where the so-called Tianzhu was apparently placed. This detail did not escape the notice of the several thugs, who looked at each other and snickered, looking in that direction and saying, "You really won't hand it over?"

  "Think carefully, is this so-called heirloom important or your daughter's whole life important? You can think about it again, but our time is limited. I give you ten seconds to make up your mind, otherwise don't blame us for taking the person and the thing too. Of course, if you hand it over to me, I'll guarantee with my Tiger Brother's name that as long as he's around, you two can walk sideways here."

  Seeing two people still unmoved, several people next to Brother Tiger said one after another: "What else do you have to consider? Our Brother Tiger is the most important person who values his promises. Since he has guaranteed for you, you will not have any problems with food and drink in the future. Who doesn't know that our Brother Tiger is a good man?"

  "It's just that many people on the road want to get a promise from our Tiger Brother, but can't. You only need to hand over the goods and you'll be able to get it, this is your good fortune."

  ……

  In the eyes of Ye Yizhe, who was still very young and innocent at that time, Master had said before that such things were definitely not right. With a sense of justice in his heart, he walked towards the group of people, who were over one meter tall. Several people surrounded the mother and three daughters, without noticing that there was an extra little boy behind them, and even if they noticed, they wouldn't think much of it - what could a little boy do?

  "How can you be like this!"

  A tender voice sounded behind them, and several people were startled to turn their heads. Upon seeing that it was just a 7 or 8-year-old child, they burst out laughing: "Look, even a little kid like you wants to be a hero and save the beauty! Kid, why don't you go play with mud instead? Grandpa here doesn't have time to play with you today."

  "Good and evil will be repaid in the end, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." Ye Yizhe shook his head and said word by word, with a bit of a scholarly look, but the next sentence revealed that he was just a kid after all. "Master said it's not right to do this, those are their things, you can't take other people's things at random."

  Several people were stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "You hear, such a small kid is also coming to teach us, this world is changing too fast!"

  The leader, Hu Ge, pointed to a person beside him and said: "Tie Shan, you go buy some candy and send this kid away. Don't hurt him, or it will get out that I, the great Hu Ge, bullied a little kid, how embarrassing."

  Tie Shan heard Tiger Brother's command and walked to Ye Yizhe's side without saying a word, squatting down and forcing out a benevolent smile as he looked at him. Unexpectedly, before he could even open his mouth, Ye Yizhe pointed at his face and burst into laughter, saying: "Uncle, you're really funny."

  Uncle? Are you talking about me?

  Tie Shan's face was filled with confusion, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Hu Ge. Seeing him with a clearly sinister expression but trying to force a smile, Tie Shan suddenly looked confused. Hu Ge led the way, and several small hooligans were holding their stomachs in laughter. "You're really something else, Tie Shan, you're actually quite entertaining." Hu Ge said with a laugh, pointing at him.

  Tieshan suddenly reacted and furiously shouted at them: "I'm only 16 years old, how can I be a big uncle?!"

  He didn't say anything, but when he did, everyone laughed even harder: "Uncle Tie Shan, you have the potential to be a child abductor, little kid, Uncle Tie Shan is very fun, let him take you to buy candy..."

  "Sister, you're really beautiful, I'm Ye Yizhe, what's your name?"

  Before the tiger brother finished speaking, everyone saw that the little boy who suddenly rushed in had slipped into the place where they surrounded the mother and three daughters. He gently wiped away the tears on the face of a little girl who was a bit bigger than him, then held her hand, with an innocent face, asked, and at the same time, he didn't forget to pull over another little girl and wipe her face as well.

  Two little girls looked at Ye Yizhe with a curious expression, being caught by him, neither of them resisted. One was eleven or twelve years old, and the other was only six or seven years old. Who would know the theory of male-female social distancing? Even if they knew it, they wouldn't care about it in this situation. The smaller girl blinked a few times and seemed to think Ye Yizhe wasn't a bad person, so she said word by word: "My name is Sang Ran, I'm six years old."

  "My name is Sanya." The slightly older girl said with a bit of reserve and didn't say much more.

  "I'm seven years old now, so from now on you have to call me brother." Ye Yizhe patted Sanran's head, acting like a little adult, and said with a smile at Sanya, making the fear in her heart due to the robbers suddenly calm down a lot. Although this little boy was younger than herself, for some reason, looking into his eyes always gave her a sense of security.

  "Throw him out!" Tiger Brother saw such a scene and wanted to get angry, but bullying such a little kid was not his style, so he could only vent his anger on the people around him, with Tie Shan being the first to bear the brunt.

  Tieshan "Uncle" could only helplessly walk forward, muttering to himself: "You don't want to deal with the kid, so you let me deal with him. Isn't this bullying me?"

  But he only dared to whisper and not dare to say it out loud, walked up to Ye Yizhe's face and said: "Little brother, uncle will take you to buy candy, okay?"

  "Really!" Ye Yizhe's excited expression made Tie Shan happy, but he continued to say, "Can I take Sang Ran little sister and Sang Ya big sister together too?"

  "You can only go alone." Tieshan continued to persuade him.

  "I don't want to then." Ye Yizhe shook his head and said, "You see, they look even better than the paintings. I like them and don't want to leave them."

  "Stop talking nonsense, get out!" But Tiger Brother had already lost his patience. Iron Mountain looked at the lovely Ye Yizhe and thought for a moment before turning back to say, "Tiger Brother, just let him stay here."

  "What did you say?" Hu Ge couldn't believe that the usually timid Tie Shan would dare to disobey his orders, and in a fit of rage, he strode right up to Tie Shan, pushed him aside, and reached out to grab Ye Yizhe. However, just as he was about to do so, Tie Shan jumped up again and blocked his way, grabbing his hand to stop him from advancing. "Hu Ge, this kid didn't do anything."

  "Tie Shan, this is what you asked for!" Tiger Brother, seeing him obstructing him three times in a row, no longer held back and slapped his face with a loud "slap", Tie Shan's cheek was red and swollen but he still didn't let go of Tiger Brother's arm, who then kicked him out with one swift kick.

  Just as he was about to grab Yizhe again, a voice sounded from behind him: "It's not right to bully kids like that."

  Just wanting to rob but being disturbed three or four times, Tiger Brother had already lost his temper. Seeing someone else appear, he directly shouted: "Get him out of here."

  What happened at that time was that Ye Yizhe saw something that made him shout "Ah", and all the people who were close to this man who suddenly appeared, were knocked down one by one without knowing how they fell. When he walked in front of Hu Ge, Hu Ge, trembling with fear, didn't hesitate and ran away immediately, still stumbling and falling due to fear after taking a few steps.

  "Wow, uncle, you're so cool!"

  Ye Yizhe's loud "Uncle" made the person sweat, although he was of uncle age but couldn't be considered an uncle, let alone his originally delicate face, everyone thought him a pretty boy, it was the first time hearing someone call him Uncle.

  But he still responded with one sentence, and then left the scene with a wave of his hand.

  Ye Yizhe, who was walking in Fudan while reminiscing about the past, suddenly turned back in the opposite direction, which was the school auditorium. On the way back, he didn't forget to make a phone call to Li Hu and said a few words.
