Chapter 204 There's always someone stronger than the strong, and a fool among the fools.
The hearty lunch left the wolf-like uncle and nephew completely satisfied. After lunch, snowflakes began to fall outside, which meant that for the rest of the time, Yinzhuo and the others would be confined to the side hall of Qingxi Study where they were now.
"Uncle Liu, let's play Eagle Catches Chicks. I want to be the eagle."
Well, it seems that the half hour he stood there earlier was really nothing to Hongqing. Look, he's still thinking about being the eagle. Yinzhuo was puzzled. Is this game really that appealing?
"No, Uncle Liu, I want to hear you continue the story. Did the Great Sage die in the end?"
Tell a story? Are you kidding me, nephew? I just finished eating and I'm feeling sleepy. Yinzhuo glanced at the three little rascals beside him, then turned to look at the bed not far away. Without any hesitation, he threw himself into the bed's embrace.
"Hongxi, my good boy. Hongyu and Hongqing, these two boys are in your care from now on. Your sixth uncle is so sleepy right now. I'm going to take a nap first, and I'll play with you guys when I wake up."
I can handle my younger brother without any problem, but Uncle Liu, didn't we just wake up? You're sleepy again after just one meal. If I hadn't already eaten that food, I would have suspected that someone had drugged it...
Whether or not the drug is administered, Yinzhuo is already in bed. Trying to pry him out of bed is as difficult as climbing to heaven. Hongxi, Hongyu, and Hongqing had all suffered at Yinzhuo's hands that morning, and none of them had the courage to challenge their sixth uncle's authority again.
There's a saying that goes, "There's always someone stronger than you, and there's always someone more wronged than you." Hongxi and the others didn't dare challenge Yinzhuo's authority, but his brother the Fourteenth, that scoundrel, was fearless. Sure enough, he started dancing in his sixth brother's forbidden zone as soon as he arrived.
"Sixth Brother, why are you sleeping in broad daylight again? You sent Dexi to call me and Thirteenth Brother over, not just so we could come and see you sleeping, right? Come on, let me help you up..."
The Fourteenth Prince's voice was so loud that even if Yinzhuo was asleep or unconscious, he would probably be woken up by now. Moreover, the Fourteenth Prince was always so eager to please. No sooner had he finished speaking than the Fourteenth Prince ripped off the blanket covering Yinzhuo. The Thirteenth Prince came in a step behind the Fourteenth Prince and was completely stunned by the scene before him. At that moment, only two words kept repeating in his mind—"It's over."
"Fourteenth brother..."
"Fourteenth Uncle~~"
If Thirteen's cry of "Fourteenth Brother" was filled with despair, then Hongyu and the others' cry of "Fourteenth Uncle" was absolutely filled with excited admiration. The little ones looked at their Fourteenth Uncle with bright eyes, their inner thoughts flooding the screen—Fourteenth Uncle~~Awesome…
Was the Fourteenth Prince powerful? The answer is definitely yes. He was more than just powerful; he was so powerful it was almost unbelievable. Of course, "almost unbelievable" is a statement of fact, because when the blanket was pulled off, Yinzhuo was like Sun Wukong whose seal was broken, leaping up from his five fingers... no, from the bed the next second.
"Fourteen, if you don't need your brain, we might as well donate it. Thirteen, you tell this idiot, what was the purpose of me having Dexi call you here?"
Fourteen, his ear being pulled by Yinzhuo, glared at Thirteen, who stood at the door. His eyes held a clear, utter stupidity. Thirteen, seeing this, gritted his teeth. What sins had he committed? It seemed he hadn't bribed enough when he was reincarnated, otherwise how could he have ended up ahead of this kid in the queue...
"Fourteenth Brother, Sixth Brother sent Dexi to call us over so that we could keep an eye on Hongxi and the other two so he could get some sleep."
Look, this is the difference between a top student and a bottom student. Thirteenth grader understands things instantly, while as for Fourteenth grader, Yinzhuo really wanted to give him a super easy BBK e-reader so he could just point to anything he didn't understand.
"Hey, Sixth Brother, you should have said so earlier! If you had let Dexi tell me sooner... Hey, hey, hey, Sixth Brother, let go first. Why did you suddenly tighten your grip when we were talking so well?"
After giving the Fourteenth Prince's ears a thorough workout by circling them three times to the left and three times to the right, Yinzhuo finally released his grip on the Fourteenth Prince's ears, barely managing to vent his anger.
“Thirteen, you’re the best. Hurry up and take this silly thing and those three little guys to the flower hall to play. Hongxi, Hongyu, and Hongqing, your task from now on is to keep your Uncle Thirteen and Uncle Fourteen company company. When the snow stops, Uncle Six will take you to build a snowman.”
You have to admit, Fourteenth Brother is tough and resilient. You know, Yinzhu was really angry just now, and he didn't hold back at all. He even pulled Fourteenth Brother's ears until they were bright red. But even so, Fourteenth Brother just rubbed his ears after his Sixth Brother let go, and then he was fine. Now, when he heard Yinzhu say that he was going to build a snowman, he was even more excited than the other three little guys.
“Build a snowman? Building a snowman is great! I’m best at that. Come on, Hongxi, Hongyu, Hongqing, follow your fourteenth uncle. Your fourteenth uncle will take you to build a snowman.”
It's still snowing outside! If they go out, will they even need to build a snowman? The fourteenth prince, with his thick skin, can withstand the snowman's attack, but the three little radish heads, Hongxi and the other two, are no match. How could Yinzhuo dare to let the unreliable fourteenth prince take them out to make snowmen?
"Go where? None of you are allowed to go out. If you want to play, go to the flower hall. If you don't want to play, find a place to sit quietly. Thirteen, you keep an eye on them. If any of them dare to run out, the older ones will be made to stand in a horse stance for an hour, and the younger ones will be made to stand for half an hour."
Yinzhuo's words had a tremendous impact on both the Fourteenth Prince and the three of them, especially on Hongyu and Hongqing, who had been punished that morning and had to stand on small stools for half an hour. The feeling was absolutely terrible. Upon hearing this, the two shook their heads rapidly and made a silent promise to Yinzhuo.
"Uncle Six, don't worry, we will definitely listen to you and will never run away. Uncle Fourteen, be good, it's still snowing outside. Shall we wait until the snow stops before we go out to build a snowman?"
Yinzhuo was naturally at ease with Hongyu and the others. The only one he was ever worried about was the Fourteenth Prince, that troublemaker. Hearing this, he raised his hand and patted Hongqing and Hongyu's little heads, then turned his gaze to the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes beside him.
"Thirteen, Fourteen, I'm leaving these three little ones in your care. The flower hall in the side hall isn't very big and it's not good for them to move around. The main hall is spacious, so you can take them there to play. I'm feeling sleepy after eating, so I'll take a nap first. I'll come find you when I wake up. But the flower hall is quite close to Father Khan's study, so please be careful when you're playing and don't make too much noise."
