As Bai Zhun spoke, he bent down, picked up the little girl, and placed her on the sofa.
Little Baldy trusted her new older brother very much. She crossed her legs and began to recite the scriptures devoutly.
The child's voice was not loud, but it still carried a soft and childish tone.
Not only did Bai Zhun not find this noisy, but it actually carried a different kind of tranquility. Even the sun outside did not seem so hot anymore.
However, these good times did not last long.
Little Baldy had only recited the scriptures for less than half an hour when a group of children came in.
These children had all grown up within the military zone, so it could be said that each of them hailed from a powerful family and often came to the Bai house. The soldiers outside would definitely not stop them from coming in.
The child in the lead was a little tyrant who was willing to listen to no one else but Bai Zhun. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a tiny monk meditating on the sofa and was stunned for a long time.
"What's going on? Where did this monk come from?"
"There's not a single strand of hair on the top of his head. Has he been shaved?"
"Why would this little monk appear in Brother Bai's house?"
The little tyrant listened to the comments of the children around him and took out the wooden sticks that they had been playing with earlier. He lowered his voice and warned them, "All of you, be quiet. Bai Zhun isn't here, so he must be taking an afternoon nap. If you end up waking Brother Bai up, you can forget about getting me to take any of you in as my underlings."
"Then how do we deal with this little monk?" There was another girl among them. She was wearing a very ladylike princess dress, and she looked at little Ajiu unhappily. If she wasn't mistaken, the little monk's leg was covered with Bai Zhun's little blanket.
Normally, she wasn't even allowed to touch Bai Zhun's things, so how could this little monk be covered with his little blanket?
Sometimes children became jealous over the strangest things.
The little tyrant also recognized the blanket. After thinking about it, he realized that he was supposed to be the one closest to Bai Zhun! Where did this little monk even come from? Why hadn't he heard anything about this fellow?
The little tyrant had always been the type to instigate other children. When he saw that the little monk was just sitting there motionlessly, he winked at the two children standing next to him. He wanted to show this little monk his might so that the little monk would know whose territory this was!
Chapter 1142 - Beaten by Ajiu
These two children were not even ten years old. But after exchanging a glance, they were ready to use a combat routine to attack the little monk's head!
But the little tyrant didn't intend for them to hit the monk on the head and he was shocked by their actions. The little monk was so soft and fragile, so what if the little monk became stupid after being hit?
That was against the law. But just as the little tyrant was about to open his mouth and shout, his voice got stuck in his throat.
That was because the two children who got close to Little Baldy were thrown to the ground with a bang!
Everything happened so quickly that no one knew what had happened.
Little Baldy opened his eyes. Her little hands reached out and grabbed one of the fists that wanted to punch her. She threw the boy to the side like she was throwing trash.
Clang! Clang!
The boy was thrown to the ground and was stunned for a while.
The little tyrant watched them from the side. His mouth was wide open and he remained in shock for a long time.
Damn it, where did this little invincible fellow come from?!
It seemed that he had to make an appearance now!
The little tyrant had really trained in the army before. Even just the way he lifted his leg was different from others.
Little Baldy's eyes suddenly lit up because of his actions.
Since the other party was so serious, she could not be careless.
Hence, Little Baldy stretched out her hand and grabbed the little tyrant's ankle!
Then, she exerted force with both hands and lifted the little tyrant up.
The other two were dumbfounded.
This was no little monk. She was clearly a Hercules!
The two boys on the ground held their stomachs and were so grateful that the little monk had just thrown them out and did not lift them up.
They would have been so embarrassed if they had been lifted up like that!
The little tyrant also didn't expect that he would actually be lifted up by a little person who was four or five years younger than him.
How could this leader of the Red Star Group walk with his head up high again in the future?
"Little brat, if you think you're capable enough, put me down and fight me one-on-one. Don't you feel ashamed lifting me up like this!?"
Little Baldy blinked her big eyes twice and seriously shook her head. "I'm not ashamed."
The little tyrant was speechless. Then why did she think about it for so long?!
"I want to find a spot that isn't too expensive and throw you down." Little Baldy was serious. Back in the temple, his master had said that wrestling was fine, but the facilities in the temple shouldn't be damaged.
Now that she had arrived at the Bai Zhun's house, she should not break anything. If Buddha found out, she would be blamed.
The little tyrant did not believe this little monk. "Little brat, open your eyes and see for yourself. We have more people than you."
Little Baldy could not be bothered with him. Was having more people a big deal? There were more than forty other monks in the temple, but they were still thrown about by her, even those who could fight.
Her big round eyes looked around, and she finally found a suitable spot.
In the middle of the empty hall.
Bang!
The little tyrant was about to cry. His shoulder hurt terribly.
Little Baldy did not even look at him. Instead, she squatted down and touched the wooden floor worriedly. "Will it break?"
The little tyrant didn't know what to say. He was the one who was going to break, not the floor!
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and attack!"
The little tyrant ordered the group of eight or nine-year-old boys to pounce on Little Baldy.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The people who fell to the ground were all from the little tyrant's side.
The four-year-old Little Baldy was still standing steadily beside the sofa, like a little otherworldly expert.
Seeing that he could not beat Little Baldy with his b.a.r.e hands, the little tyrant picked up the wooden stick and was about to swing it at Little Baldy!
"Li Hailou, stop this right now!"
Hearing that it was Bai Zhun's voice, Li Hailou immediately paused and said, "Bro, let me tell you, this kid..."
Before he could finish his words, Bai Zhun had already walked passed him and grabbed Little Baldy's hand. He looked her up and down to make sure that she was alright before he raised his head and looked at the group of children in front of him with his darkened eyes.
Bai Zhun had just woken up, so it was not wise to provoke him now.
There was not a single child in the military compound who did not know about this.
Usually, Bai Zhun looked like a little prince. He knew more things and knew how to do more things than anyone else. Even the children older than him were not as steady as he was.
However, at this moment, the gloomy aura emanating from his body was very obvious. This had something to do with him being woken up. It also had something to do with the fact that he saw his adopted child being bullied the moment he went downstairs.
"Who gave you permission to fight?" Bai Zhun turned his head and looked at the little tyrant. "Li Hailou, you even dared to wield a stick in my house?!"
Li Hailou wanted
to explain, "Bro, no, that's not what it is. I see that you have a stranger here, and he is quite arrogant."
Bai Zhun touched the back of Little Baldy's head again. Seeing that the child was really fine, his anger subsided, and the expression on his face also became much calmer. "He is not a stranger. He is my youngest junior, called Xuan Jiu."
"Is he the little brat that you didn't want to adopt?" Li Hailou cried out.
Little Baldy was still a little confused. Weren't these people brought here by Bai Zhun to wrestle with her?
"Amitabha. This penniless monk here is named Xuan Jiu," Little Baldy said and bowed very politely. Then she asked, "Big Brother doesn't want to adopt me?"
Li Hailou snorted, "When..."
"Shut up!" Bai Zhun really wanted to drag this brother over and beat him up.
Li Hailou saw that Bai Zhun's expression was pretty serious so he touched his hair and swallowed what he wanted to say.
Bai Zhun picked up Little Baldy and placed her in his arms. They sat on the sofa together and he said to the child, "It's not that I'm not unwilling to adopt you. There was a little misunderstanding earlier."
Li Hailou was completely speechless. What misunderstanding? Bai Zhun didn't want to adopt this kid at all. He said that he hated these unruly children the most, especially the ones at three or four years old and didn't know any of the rules around here at all.
How did things turn out completely differently?
Moreover, it was his first time seeing Bai Zhun speak to someone so patiently.
"I believe you." Little Baldy stretched out her hand and rubbed Bai Zhun's face. "Wuli Buddha said that big brother and I are fated. Wuli Buddha will not lie. Ajiu will only be at peace when I stay by your side. It's only normal for you not to like me, since you've never seen me before. But I'm sure that after we interact more, you will like me more and more."
Lixiao Bawang couldn't believe his ears. Where did this little monk get her mysterious confidence from?!
What surprised him even more was that Bai Zhun actually smiled faintly at Little Baldy in his arms and casually replied, "Uh huh."
Li Hailou's eyes widened. Good heavens, was this still the Bai Zhun he knew?!
Chapter 1143 - I'll Protect My Child
Bai Zhun seemed to know what Li Hailou was thinking. He looked up at him and said, "Sit down. I'll get Auntie Wang to cut some ice-cold watermelons for you to eat."
Every time Bai Zhun had this expression, Li Hailou would definitely be obedient.
Because he knew that Bai Zhun was different from him. What was that proverb again? The teacher had just taught them something about happiness and anger. It was very complicated anyway!
This was how children fought. When they heard that there were watermelons to eat, they all stopped fighting and sat down on the sofa.
Although the children in the military compound grew up in good living conditions, they were raised with a lot of discipline and were not spoiled. Otherwise, they would not have stopped after being beaten up like this.
Some of their faces were filled with pain.
Of course, even if these children had any other ideas inside their hearts, they did not lie to their friends within the compound.
Moreover, their parents were all in contact with each other. It was a tradition of the military compound to nurture family alliances since the children were still young.
As they chewed on watermelons, the group of children kept peeking at the little monk sitting in Bai Zhun's arms. After all, this child was too powerful. They had yet to meet anyone who could overturn them all.
Of course, Brother Bai Zhun was an exception. Brother Bai Zhun was their Prince Charming!
But why was Brother Bai Zhun so good to the child?
The prettiest girl among them was Lin Ziwen, who was wearing a princess dress and sitting on the sofa while taking small bites of the watermelon. She was also looking at little Ajiu, and the disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e in her eyes was very obvious.
Little Ajiu didn't hold the watermelon and chew on it like the rest. Bai Zhun specifically asked Auntie Wang to cut the watermelon into small pieces for the child. She picked up a small fork that was just enough to place the pieces into her mouth.
Little Baldy wanted to carry her own bowl to eat, but Bai Zhun felt that if he had not gone up to sleep just now, this child would not have been bullied, so he just hugged Little Baldy in his arms and fed her mouthful by mouthful.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'ll-protect-my-child_51708108883419663 for visiting.
Bai Zhun did not care who was the one who actually bullied the child. As long as the other party attacked this child, it meant that his child had been bullied.
Young Master Bai had such powerful and domineering values. It had been difficult to change them since he was young.
Little Baldy was also obedient. She was smaller than the average person. She sat in Bai Zhun's arms and ate with a hat on her head.
Li Hailou finished his watermelon and wiped his mouth. "Bai Zhun, you can't raise a child like this. My father said that if you raise a child, you have to make him suffer before letting him have a taste of sweetness. Look at what he did to me! I still have the marks on my b.u.t.t from his kick this morning!"
"Get lost." Bai Zhun slowly wiped Little Baldy's mouth. He did not want to accept other people's views on how to bring up this child. Of course he had to pamper the child he adopted.
The other older children had never seen such a tiny monk. In addition, Little Baldy was really exquisite. She was round everywhere, making everyone want to pinch her.
Bai Zhun immediately glared at him. "You don't want your hands anymore?"
"Bai Zhun, no, I'm just trying to help you take care of him." Li Hailou said seriously, "My mother has always said that I'm not easy to take care of. It must be hard for you to take care of the child by yourself, right? Let me help you share the burden."
Bai Zhun smiled slowly. "There's no need for you to share the burden. If you come close again, I won't let you copy my homework."
"No!" Li Hailou still wanted to say more.
Little Baldy chanted, "Amitabha. Wuli Buddha said that only bad children are beaten by their parents. From the morality of your sneak attack just now, you really need to be properly educated with a stick."
Li Hailou was stunned. What Wuli Buddha? Where did this little unearthed cultural relic come from?!
"That's the thought of an older generation. Do you understand feudalism? Do you understand superstition? What's most important now is personality," Li Hailou said proudly. "Xuan Jiu, right? From now on, you'll hang out with your brothers. If you're too old school, you'll be eliminated by society."
Little Baldy was confused. She turned her head and asked Bai Zhun, "Big brother, will Ajiu be eliminated by society?"
"No." Bai Zhun patted the child's head. "Ajiu will be raised by me from now on."
Little Baldy frowned and shook her bald head. "That's not right. You will be raised by me from now on. My mother said that if you want to be a temple abbot, you have to be financially independent."
"You have a mother?" Li Hailou was shocked. He was dumbfounded. He thought that this little monk in front of him was an unearthed cultural relic, but he actually had a normal family. It was really strange.
Little Baldy raised his eyebrows seriously. "You don't have one? Did you pop out from a crack in a rock? Isn't that the story of the Monkey God, Sun Wukong?"
"I..." He actually didn't know how to answer that.
At this time, Lin Ziwen questioned her instead, "If you have a mother, why don't you live with her? You wanted to come to the Bai family? You aren't related to the Bai family by blood, right? Why are you calling Brother Bai Zhun your big brother? Do you want to stay in the Bai family and not leave in the future? Do you think a poor little monk like you is worthy?"
When Little Baldy heard this, her big eyes dimmed. She did not wan
t to stay in the Bai family and not leave.
"Master said that I must stay with the Bai family. I can only look for my family when I turn twelve. I won't stay in the Bai family for free."
Little Baldy said seriously, "I will protect big brother."
"Don't be ridiculous. Why would Brother Bai Zhun need someone like yo-"
Before Lin Ziwen could finish her sentence, the fruit plate on the table was kicked over.
The person who kicked the table was none other than Bai Zhun.
Li Hailou had said long ago that Bai Zhun was more ruthless than anyone else when it came to fighting.
"Whoever says one more word can get out." Bai Zhun's pretty little face turned cold. "What do you mean by this? Did all of you come here just to bully my younger brother? He's only four, but all of you ganged up and tried to beat him up! What is the meaning of this? Even if I let this go, you won't let it go, right? Lin Ziwen, he is the junior that I've decided to adopt, so if he doesn't stay with me, who will he stay with? Even if he ends up staying in the Bai house forever, what has that got to do with you?"
After Bai Zhun finished speaking, he picked up Little Baldy and went up to the second floor with much effort.
The group of children downstairs were all a little stunned.
After thinking carefully about it, they did feel that what they did this time was indeed wrong.
After they heard Bai Zhun's words, their faces felt even hotter. Everyone looked in Lin Ziwen's direction.
Lin Ziwen burst into tears and ran out of the villa.
He rarely got angry because many things were under his control.
But the child in his arms was just like him in the past.
After losing his parents, he had lived with his grandmother for a period of time, and people would say the same thing.
If not for certain circ.u.mstances at home, it was impossible for a child to not want to live with his parents.
He had only brought his child home for one day. But first, he had accidentally injured this child at noon, and now, he had let him suffer such grievance…
