I Transmigrate as a Single Mother of the Three Antagonists Novel - Chapter 56
Chapter 56: Shocking Appearance Of The Male Protagonist
After dealing with the burly man, Qiu Tong knelt down before the boy.
The boy’s brow bone was broken, and his eyes were bloodshot. His hands were dripping with blood, his flesh all swollen. It was a terrifying sight.
Qiu Tong was shocked and handed her steamed bun to him.
“I’ll give you mine.”
The little boy ignored her and stared at the ground with clenched fists.
Qiu Tong wanted to pat his head. “Go ahead and eat. I’m here. I won’t let them bully you.”
The little boy cautiously leaned against the corner of the wall. Qiu Tong was close enough to hear that the little boy was breathing heavily.
She reached out to touch the boy’s forehead. “You have a fever?”
The little boy had no strength to push her and scolded her in disdain, “Don’t touch me! It’s none of your business!”
He was really similar to Qiu Xingyuan.
Qiu Tong thought that since she had already gotten involved with him, how could she not care?
Qiu Tong touched the boy’s forehead and used her power to heal his wounds.
“By the way, what’s your name?”
The little boy’s face was gloomy. He did not reply to her words nor eat her food.
Qiu Tong noticed that the little boy was very vigilant towards her. After confirming that he was not in danger for the time being, she ignored him and continued to observe her surroundings.
However, she did not expect to see the birthmark of a crabapple on the back of the boy’s neck.
Qiu Tong was stunned.
The boy with the crabapple birthmark…
In the novel she had read before the post-apocalyptic war, the male protagonist, Ye Luan, had a birthmark of a crabapple on the back of his neck!
Ye Luan? This child?
She remembered that Ye Luan was an orphan. He had a reclusive personality and a tragic background. However, the novel did not mention that Ye Luan came from a slave den.
By the time he appeared in the novel, it would be ten years later. He had grown up to be a gloomy and fearsome young man.
In the span of ten years, Ye Luan would experience countless bloody crises. It was no wonder that his final blow would be so cruel. He did not hesitate at all when dealing with her children.
Qiu Tong made up her mind to protect Ye Luan.
Not only that, she also wanted to bring him back to get along with her three children. After they develop feelings for each other, he would definitely not kill them.
At the thought of this, Qiu Tong leaned closer to Ye Luan and said domineeringly, “Child, I’ll protect you from now on. I won’t let anyone bully you again, understand?”
Ye Luan was still indifferent to her words.
However, there were a few slaves who started mocking them mercilessly. “Everyone, listen to this. This woman is speaking nonsense!”
“You are a prey locked in a cage, yet you boast about protecting others!”
“If you ask me, she’s an idiot. She can’t even protect herself, yet she wants to drag along an even weaker piece of trash! Everyone, stay away from them. Let her die on her own. Don’t bring us along!”
Ye Luan tensed up at the crowd’s ridicule. He was used to being despised and bullied these days.
Qiu Tong was the only person who showed kindness to him, but she ended up being mocked by them.
He stared coldly at the person who had just spoken.
“Hey, you little brat!”
The other party was annoyed by his stare. He stood up and wanted to give him a slap. “How dare you glare at me?! I’ll beat you to death!”
Ye Luan didn’t dodge. He looked up at that person, as if wanting to memorize his face.
One day, he would return the favor to all those who had bullied him.
Ye Luan was already prepared to be slapped, but this time, the slap did not land on his face.
When that person approached, Qiu Tong suddenly made a move and kicked him in the stomach. She said coldly, “I’ve already said that he’s someone I’m protecting. Don’t you understand?”
That person was sent flying and rolled on the ground in pain while clutching his stomach.
The slaves had never seen such a fierce woman before. For a moment, they couldn’t quite figure her out. No one dared to step forward again. No one dared to make trouble for Ye Luan again.
Qiu Tong turned and gave Ye Luan a kind smile. “It’s alright now, go to sleep.”
Ye Luan, “…”
He watched with a conflicted expression as Qiu Tong took the initiative to shield him behind her. After a long while, he silently closed his eyes in the darkness.
The next day, Qiu Tong was woken up by wretched cries.
Qiu Tong opened her eyes and saw several guards trying to pull a little girl out. “Let’s go! It’s your turn to go to the auction today!”
The little girl was so frightened that she cried loudly and reached out to a woman. “Mommy, save me…”
The woman was in a panic. She grabbed the child’s hand with all her might. “Sirs! Please, she’s just a child… please, she can’t be sold!”
In the next second, the woman was pushed down and beaten up violently. “Do you think you can do whatever you want now that you are here? Be good and follow me onto the stage to wait for a master to bid on you. Otherwise, I’ll beat you to death right now!”
