Rest time always passed quickly. After Lin Yu rested for a while, the sky outside was already bathed in the setting sun.
Ikoma and Chu Ying, like two diligent little bees, had neatly organized all the packages Lin Yu brought back.
Food filled the table, and the already small room was now filled with the rich aroma of food.
When they saw Lin Yu wake up, the two siblings were about to step forward to claim credit and show off their achievements.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door. Kami forcefully pushed the door open, a smile on his face, and proudly declared in a loud voice,
"Lin Yu, Ikoma, Chu Ying, look what this is!"
Although Kami's clothes were covered in mud and his body was very tired.
However, upon returning home, he still maintained the same energetic demeanor he had in the morning for the children, making it impossible to tell that he had endured a day of heavy labor.
However, Kami, who had expected to hear sounds of surprise from Chu Ying and the others, was disappointed this time.
If it had been before, Chu Ying and the others would have happily rushed forward upon seeing the bread Kami held high in his hand, and this was what Kami anticipated most.
Every time he saw the happy expressions of Chu Ying and the others, the fatigue of a day's work would vanish, which was the best cure for him.
But what awaited him this time was not the excited and happy expressions of Chu Ying and the others, but the mountain of food piled on the table, and the glittering gold coins.
"Thud..."
The hard black bread in Kami's hand fell to the ground with a dull thud.
Huizi, who was following closely behind Kami and about to enter the house, was blocked by his figure. Seeing the bread fall to the ground, she immediately became angry and slapped Kami on the back.
Huizi was gentle and tactful towards Lin Yu and the children, but she had no such good temper with her long-time husband, Kami.
"I don't know what you're showing off about; hurry up and pick up the bread, the children are waiting to eat!"
Seeing Kami motionless, Huizi's eyebrows furrowed. Just as she was about to pull Kami out to give him a good scolding, she saw Kami turn around with a dazed expression and say to her,
"Slap me."
"What?"
Huizi looked at Kami in confusion, thinking she had misheard him.
"I said, slap me!"
Kami raised his voice, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
Faced with such an unheard-of request, Huizi sensed something was amiss. A little nervously, she pulled Kami away from the doorway and looked into the house.
She secretly worried if something had happened to Chu Ying and the others.
But as soon as she saw the scene inside the room, Huizi also froze.
In the entire Slums, if you were to pick anyone, no matter who, the first person to see so much food would definitely freeze in place, unable to react.
After a long pause, Huizi said nothing, but simply turned around and slapped Kami.
Seeing Kami's pained expression, Huizi could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart. She rushed into the house and looked at Chu Ying, whose face was beaming with a smile, and asked excitedly,
"Chu Ying, these breads, and the gold coins, you... no, where did you get them from?"
Huizi's words were a little incoherent due to excitement. Seeing her mother so agitated, Chu Ying remembered that she seemed to have been just as excited at the time.
With a slightly flushed face, she pushed Lin Yu, who was standing behind her, forward.
"All these foods and gold coins were brought back by Lin Yu. If you have any questions, ask him."
Kami walked in from outside, a crimson slap mark on his face, his expression filled with disbelief.
"Hmm, a small thing happened today."
Lin Yu had nothing to hide about the Gang's affairs.
The entire Gang had already been eradicated by him, so there was no concern about retaliation or anything similar happening.
Having great strength himself was also a reassuring good thing for Huizi and the others who had always lived in chaotic times.
Hearing Lin Yu briefly explain the Gang's situation, Huizi couldn't help but cover her mouth to prevent a gasp.
Kami, on the other hand, beamed with a proud smile, reaching out to pat Lin Yu's shoulder, the meaning of which was self-evident.
As for Ikoma, who only now learned the full story, and Chu Ying, who had no idea Lin Yu had directly taken on the entire Gang by himself, their expressions were no better; both were dumbfounded.
“Lin Yu Gege… did you really take care of the entire Gang?”
Ikoma's eyes gleamed with admiration as he asked, somewhat disbelievingly.
“Yes, I wiped them all out. This nichirin blade belongs to their Scarface Leader.”
Lin Yu chuckled and took out the nichirin blade, tightly wrapped in cloth. Looking at the gleaming nichirin blade, everyone's hearts trembled slightly, and they subconsciously looked at the wooden sword on Lin Yu's person.
A fourteen-year-old boy, with just a wooden sword, had dealt with dozens of burly men, including a leader wielding a sharp nichirin blade.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe it if it were told.
The danger involved goes without saying; if it were anyone else, even a slight lack of strength would have meant certain death.
