Chapter 100 Ma Wu and Seventeenth Sister

That night, Ma Wu slept on the first floor.

He thought Li Qi slept on the second floor, so he went upstairs to find Li Qi the next morning, wanting to take him around Lanyang Village. Unexpectedly, there was no trace of Li Qi in the bedroom.

Where did he go?

It was very dangerous for a stranger to wander around Lanyang Village. Ma Wu searched for him several times in the village.

He couldn't find Li Qi because Li Qi was sleeping in his living room at the moment.

Last night, Li Banfeng wandered around the village all night. Not only did he accumulate enough practice for the journey, but he also basically mastered the geographical environment of Lanyang Village.

At the southernmost end of Lanyang Village, Li Banfeng saw the entrance to the new land. Standing on the treetops, he could vaguely see some light, which proved that someone had successfully opened up the land.

On the way back, Li Banfeng encountered two robbers. He extorted more than 3,000 yuan from the robbers, and then sent the robbers to his wife for criticism and education.

After the wife educated him, she burped and promised that the two people would not commit the same crime again.

At dusk, Ma Wu, who had been searching for a day, finally found Li Qi downstairs in the wooden house.

Li Banfeng was watching the excitement.

Two groups of people were fighting each other downstairs. The fighting style was rough and there was basically no technique.

The tactics were relatively direct. The two groups directly charged each other. Some fell down, and some fled.

The weapons were somewhat simple. Some people held kitchen knives, and some did not even have kitchen knives.

The noodle shop owner also joined the fight. At first, he held a kitchen knife, but later he changed to a rolling pin for fear of breaking the knife.

Ma Wu came to Li Banfeng and lowered his voice: "Brother Li, where have you been all day?"

"Just wandering around." Li Banfeng said perfunctorily and continued to watch the fight.

Ma Wu reminded: "Brother Li, it's best not to watch this excitement."

Li Banfeng said seriously: "You have to take a look, our landlord is inside!"

Ma Wu glanced over and really saw Landlord Wei fighting in the crowd.

He was injured, his face was covered in blood, and he held an axe and chopped hard.

In the melee, five or six people were besieging him alone. This group of people was obviously coming for him.

Ma Wu said softly: "Brother Li, I'm afraid your two months' rent will go down the drain."

As he spoke, the landlord was stabbed on the back again. His body shook and he almost fell down. He could hardly hold the axe in his hand.

The people around him swung their knives and just chopped down. The landlord's consciousness gradually blurred. He almost lost his will to fight due to the serious injury.

Ma Wu stared at the landlord for a moment, and the landlord seemed to sense Ma Wu's gaze.

Like a dying person who was given a shot of adrenaline, under Ma Wu's gaze, the landlord's will to fight returned, and he swung his axe and continued to fight with everyone.

After holding on for more than three minutes, a shout suddenly came from the alley: "Someone is coming! Let's get some work!"

The group of people who besieged the landlord quickly left the scene, and the landlord and a dozen of his subordinates desperately chased them: "Brothers, don't let these bastards run away. Kill one of them and I'll give you ten dollars!"

The landlord chased them not far away, and another group of people rushed out of the alley, seemingly the landlord's reinforcements.

Seeing the scene getting more and more chaotic, Ma Wu reminded Li Banfeng: "Brother Li, it's time to go. When someone recognizes you, things will be troublesome."

Li Banfeng was stunned when he heard this, and followed Ma Wu back to the wooden house.

Last night, Li Banfeng gave Ma Wu the first day's wages, 150 yuan.

Ma Wu bought some braised beef, pig ears, and a bottle of white wine, and the two of them ate and talked together.

"Brother Ma, you used a technique on the landlord just now, didn't you?"

Ma Wu nodded: "Seeing that he was at the critical moment of life and death, I gave him some strength, at least I can save your two months' rent."

Li Banfeng was surprised: "Can Huan Xiu's technique give people strength? The Huan Xiu I met all made people panic and tremble."

Ma Wu said: "In fact, these are all the same techniques, but they have different uses. Moisturizing like morning dew is a charm, swaying like drizzle is encouragement, pouring like rainstorm is confusion.

I haven't passed the first level yet. At present, I can only use encouragement. I haven't learned the art of confusion yet."

Ma Wu's example was very appropriate, and Li Banfeng understood it very well.

After a moment of silence, Ma Wu asked: "Brother Li, aren't you curious about why I have come to this point?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "I am a little curious. When we met at the peddler's place, you spoke quite honestly, but now you speak a little unpleasantly."

Ma Wu blinked his eyes and felt that the issue of whether it was pleasant or not was not the key.

Should he ask me why I became a beggar?

Ma Wu drank a glass of wine: "In fact, you can see some clues from the peddler. Logically, I shouldn't go to the peddler to buy medicine."

Li Banfeng ate a piece of pig ear: "Then where should you go to buy medicine? If you want to get into the family, don't you have to find a peddler?"

Ma Wu shook his head and said: "The Ma family still has some foundation in Pro Province. If the Ma family wants to get into the family, they don't need to find a peddler. There are medicines at home."

Ma family?

"Is it the Ma family from the four major families?"

Ma Wu nodded: "My name is Ma Junyang, and I am the fifth son of the Ma family. The reason why I went to the peddler to choose medicine is because I want to be a happy cultivator."

Li Banfeng thought for a while: "Because you don't have medicine for happy cultivators at home, you went to the peddler?"

Ma Wu shook his head and said: "It's not because there is no medicine for happy cultivators, but because there can't be happy cultivators in my family. The Ma family is a famous family, and the descendants of famous families must have proper cultivation.

In Pro Province, civil cultivation and martial cultivation are the orthodox cultivation, especially the Ma family, who attach great importance to orthodoxy and sneer at other Taoist sects.

Huan Xiu is the sect that my father hates the most. If I practice Huan Xiu, it would be a disgrace to the Ma family, which is really a shame to the family. "

Literary cultivation and martial arts cultivation are orthodox. No wonder there are more practitioners in these two sects.

For a wealthy family, Huan Xiu's reputation may be really bad, but Li Banfeng felt that this would not make Ma Wu fall into this situation: "Is it because of this that the Ma family kicked you out of the house?"

Ma Wu shook his head and said: "That's not a problem. My father has many children. I have two brothers and two sisters. They all have decent cultivation. It's not a big deal if a scum like me comes out.

Besides, I am destined not to inherit the family business in the future. My father gave me two dance halls, and I run them well. I don’t have to worry about money or cultivation. "

Li Banfeng said in astonishment: "Are you really not worried? Ten times a day is not easy."

Ma Wu smiled bitterly: "At that time, I could afford both supplements and medicines, and I could support them."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that your Taoist companion won't be able to hold on."

Ma Wu smiled and said: "Of course one Taoist monk can't support it, but if there are ten Taoist monks at one time, there is no difficulty. There are many girls in Green Water Bay, and there are a lot of girls who want to throw themselves into their arms. I really don't care about this kind of thing." I've been worried about things,

My housekeeper, Chen Yupeng, used different tricks to find girls for me every day. But one day, my third brother came to my house, kicked open the door, took me out of bed and beat me severely. That's when something big happened. . "

"What's the big deal?" Li Banfeng took a sip of wine.

Ma Wu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp: "The person sleeping on my bed is my unmarried sister-in-law."

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Are you and your sister-in-law childhood sweethearts?"

I originally thought I would hear a ridiculous story, but I saw Ma Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Li, you are really good at joking. My third brother has married sixteen sisters-in-law in total, and even these sixteen have married me." I can’t even recognize him, let alone this one who has never been acquainted.”

When Li Banfeng heard this, he frowned and said, "Don't you know this sister-in-law?"

"I don't know!" Ma Wu's face was full of bitterness.

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and then said: "You have been plotted!"

"Yes," Ma Wu nodded, "It was calculated. It was calculated by my third brother and my housekeeper. They teamed up to send this seventeenth sister-in-law to my bed and set a trap on me."

Li Banfeng put down his glass and said, "Why does your third brother want to plot against you? How much hatred does he have against you? How much money did he spend on you?"

Ma Wu took a sip of wine: "The third child plotted against me because of my money. He is the legitimate son of the family, and all the Ma family's property will belong to him in the future.

My father has given him two casinos, two restaurants, and a department store. Half of the street in Green Water Bay is owned by Lao San. He holds more than 30% of the Ma family's family business. My dad gave it to me. "

Li Banfeng couldn't understand: "He's not short of money either, so why does he still need your money?"

Ma Wu shook his head and said: "He is short of money, very short of money, because he is a idiot, and more than 30% of the business is in his hands, and there is no one who does not lose money.

It was almost the beginning of autumn. According to the rules of our Ma family, accounts must be reconciled on the day of the beginning of autumn. This year, he couldn't get his account book. He wanted me to pay him some money from the dance hall to fill in the holes for him, but I didn't agree.

I only have two dance halls, and these two dance halls are not even a hair in the Ma family's property.

But I am good at making money. Just from these two dance halls, I can earn 20% of the Ma family's income. The third child wanted to force me to pay, so he resorted to a bitter trick and gave me his unmarried daughter-in-law. Take the opportunity to strangle me. "

Li Banfeng felt that there was something wrong with the handling of this matter: "He is demanding money from you, so the worst thing you can do is give it to him. Even if the matter is exposed, your family will have the means to calm down. Your father cannot kick you out of the house because of this matter."

Ma Wu smiled bitterly and said: "There are ways, but it depends on the situation. Not long after my third brother arrived, reporters also came, and his naked photos were taken. This matter has been reported! The fifth brother slept with the third brother My daughter-in-law, the Ma family has been so embarrassed that it has disgraced the whole Prefecture!"

Li Banfeng was puzzled: "Who found the reporter? Your third brother can't be so stupid, right? He has become a bastard, and he still dares to spread the news?"

"It's definitely not him," Ma Wu sighed with a smile, "It might be my fourth brother, or it might be my eldest sister.

The third child plotted against me. Someone plotted against the third child behind his back. I was kicked out of my family, and the third child was also imprisoned by my father. It won’t be long before that person can succeed the third child and become the heir of the Ma family. "

Li Banfeng asked: "Who wants to be the heir?"

"I don't know yet," Ma Wu shook his head, "That man is hiding deep, and I don't know if I can see him alive."

It can be seen that Ma Wu's physical condition is very poor.

Li Banfeng asked: "Because the matter was published in the newspapers, the Ma family asked you to leave the house?"

At this point, Ma Wu sighed: "It doesn't count as leaving home. When I left home, my family brought me 300 yuan.

Brother Li, I’m not talking big words. With these three hundred yuan, I can earn a new family fortune for myself.

But less than two hours after I left the house, I was robbed. Three hundred yuan was robbed, and even my coat was taken off.

I hid a jade pendant, went to the pawn shop to exchange it for five yuan, and came to Lanyang Village to find a living. In half a month, I earned one hundred and twenty yuan. Guess what happened? "

Li Banfeng took a sip of wine: "Were you robbed again?"

Ma Wu nodded: "You guessed it right, just ten days ago, one hundred and twenty oceans were robbed. I couldn't pay the rent, so I was kicked out and slept in a shack.

Near Xindi, I picked up some junk and sold it, and scraped together a hundred and ten Huan Guo notes. I was just trying to find a place to live, but someone robbed me again the day before yesterday, and they didn’t even leave me any money to eat. Just went to pick up garbage to eat. "

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Who did this? Who has to push you to a dead end?"

"Who else could it be?" Ma Wu smiled bitterly, "It must be someone from my family."

This doesn't make sense.

Ma Wu has been expelled from the house and no longer poses a threat to others. What good will it do to them to punish Ma Wu to death?

There seems to be something fishy here, but Ma Wu was tortured so badly that he couldn't figure out some things for a while.

Ma Wu took a sip of wine, looked at Li Banfeng and said, "Brother Li, if you hadn't given me this meal, I might have starved to death last night. I really don't know how to repay this kindness... …”

Li Banfeng nodded: "You must repay my kindness. You eat first, then write an IOU, and we will discuss repaying the debt."

Ma Wu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This can't be solved by eating. I haven't practiced for ten days, and my life is almost gone.

Brother Li, I don’t have much time left. I just want to do more things for you. I want to ask you about someone. There is a person named Li Banfeng. Do you know him? "

PS: If you look at the artistry of his words, you will know that Ma Wu is a brother who can do great things together.
