Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Zhen Ding County People's Hospital

Huaiyin withdrew her gaze and followed Doutang in a few steps.

Dou Tang continued walking, and Huai Yin thus saw the scenery on the street.

A bicycle with large red flowers printed on its black metal surface, a navy blue Zhongshan suit, a beret-like hat worn by a man, and a woman's long, fluffy hair and a floral headscarf...

A strong sense of history is immediately apparent.

Dou Tang walked down the street, with Huai Yin following behind.

Dou Tang seemed quite mischievous as a teenager. He dashed into a photo studio on the street, and was chased out by a yellow stray dog ​​in no time. But judging from his expression, he seemed quite happy.

Chasing cats here, teasing dogs there, Dou Tang in his youth was never idle for a moment. Walking on the street, he was like a gray whirlwind, messing with one house and rushing into another.

However, he was quite polite and didn't play pranks. At most, he would tease the small animals. Moreover, he seemed to be very popular. From what I saw, he greeted and chatted with people in no less than ten shops.

"Hey Aunt Liu, wow, these little cakes look really good... Can I have a taste? Sure, I won't be shy... Could you get one for my sister too?"

"Brother Niu, what about your girlfriend? Huh? You broke up with her? She wanted a bicycle and a TV too? What's going on? It's a good thing you broke up. Don't worry, there will be better ones in the future."

"Uncle! Grandpa! Wake up! Wake up! Are you done playing chess? Huh? Can't you hear me?" Young Dou Tang stood in front of an old man fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, leaned close to the old man's ear and shouted, "I asked you if you're done playing chess! Aren't you going home yet! If you go back before dark, you'll miss dinner!"

The old man raised his hand and flicked the forehead at the young Dou Tang.

"Shut up, you brat! Keep your voice down!"

Young Dou Tang's eyes widened, and he reached out and overturned the chessboard in front of the old man, scattering the black and white chess pieces all over the ground.

He took off running, chuckling as he listened to the angry curses coming from behind him.

Huaiyin covered her mouth and chuckled as she followed the boy Dou Tang into a fairly spacious street.

The street is only about the width of one car. The walls of the small courtyards on both sides are made of red bricks, with red or black gates. Some houses even have a pair of stone lions in front of them.

Dou Tang walked to a door and pounded on it.

A moment later, the door opened, and a small head peeked out from behind it—it was a little girl.

.

"Brother!" the little girl called out, pulling the door open forcefully.

Dou Tang went inside, and Huai Yin followed closely behind.

Upon entering, Dou Tang reached out and rubbed the head of the little girl, who was a head shorter than him, and said with a smile, "Xiao Yin, I brought you two pancakes. Eat them when we have dinner later."

Xiao Yin licked his lips and smiled, saying, "Brother, the persimmons next door are ripe..."

Seeing his younger sister's sly smile, Dou Tang chuckled as well: "Alright, I'll go next door and get you two tonight."

Chapter 18 Appreciating the Sword

The brother and sister walked into the two-story building in front of them, while Huaiyin looked around at everything in the courtyard.

Two trees are planted in the flowerbed enclosed in the left corner.

Behind the right-hand entrance hall is a U-shaped external staircase that leads to a semi-open corridor on the second floor.

Huaiyin walked into the living room of the small building. The living room was decorated very simply. The sofa was made of hardwood, coated with a layer of transparent lacquer, and covered with cushions and backrests, making it look very minimalist.

Xiao Yin sat down on the sofa and started watching the TV in front of her. The TV had a metallic silver plastic casing and a large rear end; it was an extremely old-fashioned CRT TV.

However, judging from Dou Tang's previous conversations with others, this kind of television seems to be quite valuable.

Xiao Yin crossed her legs and watched TV, while Dou Tang went into the kitchen at the back of the room.

The kitchen and bathroom doors are right next to each other, which feels a bit uncomfortable. Although there is no odor in the toilet, this unreasonable layout is enough to show that the house is not professionally designed.

A person was standing in the kitchen, washing vegetables in front of a stainless steel sink, with a cane on the floor next to them.

"I'm back," Dou Tang said, tossing the plastic bag containing the pancakes onto the cutting board beside him.

"I took two pancakes. You can heat them up for Xiao Yin later. Your medicine is on the table outside."

The middle-aged man who was washing vegetables nodded and said, "Go to the small room and get a box of milk, choose the one from the earliest date, and send it to the neighbor next door."

Huaiyin curiously leaned forward and finally saw the middle-aged man's full appearance.

The man in front of her looked very much like Dou Tang, but his features were more gentle and he exuded a somewhat decadent aura. He hadn't shaved his stubble, which suggested that he had a very casual and unkempt attitude towards life.

Dou Tang nodded, then asked, "Dad, what was it that you said you wanted to tell me before?"

Ren Zhanyi, Dou Tang's father, pursed his lips and chopped the tomatoes under his hand, saying, "It's not a good thing. You shouldn't know now."

Dou Tang raised an eyebrow: "Huh? So you told me before that you only got started and then held back?"

He then waved his hand and clicked his tongue, saying, "Never mind, I'm going to get the milk."

Huaiyin followed Doutang out of the house. Doutang took three steps at a time to the bottom of the U-shaped staircase. Only then did Huaiyin notice a wooden door there. It seemed that the U-shaped space against the wall of the staircase had been turned into a small warehouse.

Dou Tang pushed open the door and went inside. Huai Yin followed and peeked inside. She saw that the small space was filled with boxes, most of which contained various tonics and gifts, such as milk, walnuts, and even bird's nest.

Some of the tonics were covered in a layer of dust, looking like they hadn't been touched in a long time. These gifts were left by people who came to visit the Ren family, but there were hardly any people at home now, and they couldn't possibly finish all of them.

But thanks to these highly nutritious supplements, both Xiao Yin and Dou Tang are in excellent health.

Dou Tang casually picked out a box of milk that hadn't expired, walked out of the small room, and then went up the stairs.

When Huaiyin climbed the stairs, she discovered that the middle part of the staircase, built against the wall, was exactly flush with the wall of her neighbor's house, meaning the two households actually shared a wall.

Stepping onto the small rooftop terrace above the entrance hall, Dou Tang looked towards his neighbor's house, from where he could see the entire yard of his neighbor's house.

He rubbed the ground with his feet on the small rooftop, then ran forward and leaped, grabbing a branch of a tree in his neighbor's yard with one hand, swinging like a nimble monkey, then letting go and landing with practiced ease.

Carrying the milk, Dou Tang went into her neighbor's house. After a while, she came out smiling and climbed back up the tree.

Huaiyin accompanied him down the stairs and back to the living room.

"Xiao Yin, go do your homework." Dou Tang said as soon as he entered the door.

Xiao Yin pouted, but did not refute, and stood up to walk into a room next to the TV.

"Xiao Tang, come, take this to the ancestral hall on the second floor and offer it up." Ren Zhanyi's voice came from the kitchen.

Upon hearing the sound, Dou Tang went into the kitchen and then came out carrying two plates of food.

A plate of tomatoes with sugar and a plate of mushrooms stir-fried with garlic—simple home-style dishes.

Dou Tang carried two plates of food out again and went up the stairs, with Huai Yin following closely behind, and they went up to the second floor.

The door to the second floor was open, and Dou Tang stepped over the high threshold and entered the house. Huai Yin followed her in, then her eyes widened in utter surprise.

The room before me is definitely not normal.

Antique red curtains, candle-shaped lamps, and wooden plaques with gold trim on a black background...

The wooden signs extend upwards in a stepped fashion, with the signs becoming increasingly older as they rise, and the top few even being carved from stone.

On the altar in front of all the plaques, there is a small incense burner, two plates, two red candle-shaped lamps, and a sword.

The sword looks very antique and is placed neatly on the sword stand.

on.

Dou Tang placed the two dishes on the offering table, then took out three incense sticks from the drawer of the offering table, lit them, and placed them in the incense burner. After that, he put away the two empty plates.

Huaiyin noticed that the two plates were indeed empty and extremely clean.

This gave her the creeps. If Dou Tang had to come here every day to change the food, then where did the food from this plate go?

After Dou Tang arranged the plates, he waited for a while, and then tentatively reached out to the ancient longsword.

After touching the hilt of the sword, he froze abruptly, and after waiting for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the longsword.

"bass!"

The longsword was drawn, its blade flashing like a cold star. Dou Tang took the sword in his hand and tentatively swung it.

The longsword sliced ​​through the air, making a whooshing sound.

Dou Tang laughed, placed the scabbard on the offering table, took a few steps back with the sword in one hand, pointed the tip of the sword at the ground, and then slowly raised it.

"Swipe!"

Huaiyin's eyes widened suddenly.

Just a moment ago, Dou Tang seemed to have raised his hand and swung his sword, unleashing several streaks of white light. The marks left by the sword in the air remained in Huaiyin's mind even after he withdrew his attack, leaving her completely unable to react.

So fast……

But it wasn't over yet. Dou Tang raised his sword again, this time with a full grip. He held the sword in one hand, making the blade and his arm form a straight line, and with the index and middle fingers of his other hand, he formed a sword finger. With each swing of the sword, he exuded a unique charm.

The next moment, as gentle as water, the next moment, as fierce as a storm, the next moment ...

"Clang! Whoosh, whoosh—clang!"

The blade hummed softly with his swordsmanship, and the blade trembled with the force, yet it also softened with the gentle energy. In a daze, Huaiyin seemed to see the long sword transform into a soft whip.

With a balance of strength and gentleness, Dou Tang at this moment was not as extremely tough as Huai Yin had seen before; on the contrary, he was well-mannered and balanced.

After playing with the sword for a while, Dou Tang reluctantly sheathed it and put it back on the sword rack.

He clasped his hands together, bowed his head, and muttered softly, "Thank you, seniors, for allowing me to appreciate the passing down of the sword. I'll take my leave now."

Chapter 19 She Lives, I Die

The mischievous boy, Dou Tangci, scurried downstairs and happily went inside. Just then, Ren Zhanyi had finished cooking, and the two siblings, along with their father, sat around the low table on the sofa and began to eat.

The dishes were very simple, without even a meat dish, but no one complained. Huaiyin also noticed that Doutang gave almost all of the sugar-coated tomatoes to her younger sister.

His concern for his family and for Xiao Yin was no different from his own. He was clumsy and didn't know how to coax people, but he did more than he said.

He ate in silence, then tidied up the low table, washed the dishes, and after doing all that, Ren Zhanyi went inside to sleep.

Dou Tang came out of the kitchen, wiped the water off his hands on his clothes, sat on the sofa, and watched TV with Xiao Yin.

A moment later, Xiao Yin also started yawning.

Dou Tang patted her head and said, "Alright, stop looking and go to sleep."

"No..." Xiao Yin stammered, then snuggled into Dou Tang's arms and started to act coquettishly.

Dou Tang affectionately stroked her hair, making Huai Yin, who was standing to the side, feel a pang of jealousy.

The more you explore his past, the more you will feel regret and heartache at meeting him so late.

You can tell that Dou Tang's life was originally very fulfilling and happy, but it later turned out like that.

Xiao Yin, who was nuzzling against Dou Tang's chest, suddenly looked up and said energetically, "Brother, persimmons!"

Dou Tang paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Goodness, you've been dawdling here for so long, all you want is to eat persimmons, right?"

"Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm..." Xiao Yin nodded quickly.

Dou Tang stood up and carefully went out the door, with Xiao Yin following him eagerly.

The brother and sister quietly walked up the stairs to the small rooftop of the foyer, which was just the right distance from the persimmon tree planted in the corner of the neighboring yard.

Dou Tang rolled up his sleeves, glanced at his neighbor's house next door where the lights were already off, licked his lips, and reached out to the persimmon tree.

"Brother, pick that one, the orange one, it's ripe." Xiao Yin whispered, offering her advice.

"Okay, okay, you just wait and eat. Don't come up, it's dangerous up there."

Dou Tang leaned out again, stretching most of his body out, and finally reached a branch on the persimmon tree. He pulled the branch back, and it landed right in front of the two of them.

Several persimmons were hanging on the branch, some of which were hard and unripe, while others had translucent skins and were full of juice and ripe.

These persimmons hanging on the branches look like plump, flat, round gems.

Xiao Yin licked her lips and reached down to pull one off.

Dou Tang also picked one, then gently put the branch back. The two of them chuckled and jumped off the small rooftop, then stomped down the stairs, but didn't go back inside.

Dou Tang pushed open the door of the small hut at the bottom of the stairs, pulled on the rope hanging behind the door, and the light inside the hut came on.

He sat on a large box, rubbed the skin off a persimmon, and then took a bite.

"Zizi..."

Ripe persimmons are plump and juicy inside, with an orange-yellow color.

If you don't plug your mouth with your mouth in time, the juice will definitely leak out.

Dou Tang slurped and chewed the soft, jelly-like persimmon seeds mixed with juice, then looked at her younger sister.

Compared to Dou Tang, who had done many of these naughty things, Xiao Yin seemed a bit clumsy. She reached out and peeled the persimmon skin, but the tear was too big. Although she quickly sucked and blocked it, her hands were still covered with juice, and her mouth was surrounded by orange-yellow juice.
