Chapter 1386 Three types of people: ruthless, stupid, and stupid!
Lao Gong's desire threshold is very low.
He has completed two-thirds of the journey in his life. During these years, he has seen countless winds and rains and experienced the vicissitudes of the world. When he set foot on this abandoned wasteland, his heart had already been tempered by the years.
I have lost all my vigor and enterprising spirit.
If the widow's appearance hadn't given him some unwanted thoughts, he wouldn't have chosen to embark on the dangerous path of fishermen.
For Lao Gong, the packet of sugar given by Somo was enough to satisfy his extremely low desire threshold. He even felt that the value of this packet of sugar was far beyond his imagination, representing hope, warmth and happiness.
.
He can exchange the sugar for survival supplies, and build a warm little home with the widow in this wasteland.
They can share every bit of happiness in life, support each other, and get through difficult times together. Even if they are about to die tomorrow, they can stay with each other until the last moment of their lives.
Lao Zhang's desire threshold is exactly the opposite of Lao Gong, his threshold is very high.
Lao Zhang is a man full of fighting spirit and determination. He is never satisfied with the status quo and is always eager to change his life through his own efforts.
He can actively choose to become a fisherman without any compulsion.
He dared to fish in the Giant Dragon Fairy River, which even water monkeys were afraid of. These all represented his spiritual beliefs.
And this is also the reason why Lao Zhang agreed immediately without hesitation after hearing Sumo's recruitment wishes.
No matter how dangerous it is, it can't be more dangerous than fishing alone in a river hundreds of meters wide, right?
But fishing for fish in the water can only bring meager supplies. Following Somo, there is hope for endless opportunities.
As for Ma Benchun.
"My desire is much greater than that of Lao Zhang, but I chose the same path as Lao Gong."
"How can I be willing and satisfied with this?"
His eyes were fixed on the flickering firelight of the earthen house, and he hesitated for more than ten minutes before retreating and leaving.
His mind kept flashing back to the completely different look in Luo Xiang's eyes when he just walked in.
And Somo always looked aloof, as if he didn't care about anything.
All of this deeply hurt somewhere in his heart.
Of course, the most critical thing is the submachine gun that Sumo took out on the boat and the bottomless backpack.
Ma Benchun's eyes flashed with greed. He licked the slightly dry corners of his mouth, as if he could already taste the satisfaction that was about to come.
He originally walked towards the river, but suddenly changed his direction and walked resolutely towards the dense reeds on the bank.
Going straight forward from there is the gathering place of reed marshes, which is also the destination in his heart.
The Luo family's earthen house is a bit unique. It is built on the shore of the water, about five kilometers away from the gathering place.
Privacy was guaranteed to a certain extent, but the safety of group living was lost as a result. This led to the people who besieged Luo You and his son to arrange their manpower next to the earthen house.
"Since you can't satisfy my desires, then I will satisfy them myself."
Ma Benchun laughed several times, his eyes flashing with greed, and after identifying the direction leading to Lord Huang's residence, he took each step more firmly and briskly.
He was even somewhat proud of himself, knowing the two hundred kilometers of waterways and surrounding territories of the Starfield Alliance.
If it were an ordinary person coming here, even if they wanted to make a report, they wouldn't be able to find a place to do so.
All the way through the reeds on the river bank, Ma Benchun walked very carefully. From time to time, he would stop and look back, then take a detour and continue in another direction.
He knew very well what the consequences would be if his current behavior was discovered by the dragon crossing the river.
But fortunately, the other party seemed to be very indifferent and didn't have any thoughts against them.
Ma Benchun's heart finally relaxed a little. He walked carefully through the reed marsh, thinking about his plan in his mind, and gradually accelerated his pace. After a while, he reached the junction of the reed marsh and the main road.
However, just when he was about to take that step, the sight in front of him shocked him so much that he almost stopped breathing.
On the main road, a figure was leaning leisurely on a tree trunk by the roadside, holding a piece of foxtail grass in his mouth, blowing it around casually, and seemed to be wiping something with one hand.
Although there was a distance, the silhouette of that figure seemed extremely familiar to Ma Benchun.
His eyes widened, and a strong uneasiness surged in his heart!
His heartbeat quickened and he wanted to turn around and escape back to the depths of the reed marsh, but it was already too late.
At this moment, Luo Xiang's voice suddenly came from behind. The voice was full of confusion and anger, and it was like a heavy hammer hitting Ma Benchun's heart, leaving him with nowhere to escape and no way to deny it.
"Uncle Ma, where are you going? Why are you here?"
"I" Ma Benchun opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.
Especially when the man on the main road began to approach, he felt his legs were weak, as if he could not support his body.
“I’m just here for one night!”
At the critical moment, a round object in his pocket gave Ma Benchun confidence.
He held it tightly and his voice no longer trembled.
"It's getting so late, and Uncle Ma is afraid of being retaliated by them on his way back, so why don't he just come to the gathering place and stay for one night?"
"Is it really just for one night?" Luo Xiang's face was still deep.
He never thought that Ma Benchun, who usually took great care of the Luo family, would do such a thing.
"What if?"
Ma Benchun seemed to have straightened out his thoughts and said loudly: "So many people saw us together at night. If they take me as a member of your family and take revenge, who should I ask to reason? Uncle Ma has been hiding all the time.
Come here, I don’t know how worried you are, what do you think I’m going to do?”
Snap, snap, snap!
The sound of applause sounded nearby, and Sumo walked over with a smile on his lips.
"Good acting, but some parts are too exaggerated."
"What?" Ma Benchun was still pretending to be stupid.
"I'll give you thirty seconds to think about it. What is the purpose of approaching the Luo family?"
Sumo skillfully pulled out the pistol from his waist and pointed the black muzzle at Ma Benchun.
"Don't kid me, I don't like wasting time on trash."
Originally, he was planning to leave, but it turned out that this guy's laughter was so unpleasant that it made people's hair stand on end.
"Uncle Ma, don't be in a hurry to speak. Listen to this first."
Luo Xiang also walked up, holding a square box in his hand. When he pressed it, it started to make sounds.
"My desire is much greater than Lao Zhang's"
"Not willing to give in."
"Gagaga, since you can't satisfy my desires, then I will satisfy them myself."
Clear recordings came from the square box, including those distinctive ferocious laughs.
Ma Benchun's face instantly turned pale, leaving no room for quibbles.
This damn foreigner is so cunning. He even installed a bug on him?
"Hehe, hehe"
After sneering a few times, Ma Benchun knew that now was not the time to act stupid.
He whipped out the grenade in his pocket, pulled the tab, and held it in his hand.
"Let me go, I am willing to leave now, otherwise we will all die together!"
"No, old horse."
Su Mo held the pistol and smiled half-heartedly: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you go. I just asked you what is your purpose of approaching the Luo family?"
"Purpose?" Ma Benchun glanced at Luo Xiang coldly, "What is my purpose? I just saw that the Luo family was in such misery and wanted to help them."
"Really? Then why did I hear Lao Zhang say that you always help others take care of their wives, children and children in the name of helping others?"
"You" Lao Ma panicked, big beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Uncle Ma, I never thought you were such a person. You disappoint me so much."
"Disappointed, what right do you have to be disappointed?"
Faced with Luo Xiang's questioning, Ma Benchun suddenly exploded: "If I hadn't been kind enough to lend you the medicine, your damn father would have gone to hell long ago. If I hadn't given you a chance to make a living, what qualifications do you have to be my doctor in Reed?"
Dang’s agency?”
"Yes, I am attracted to your sister's beauty, and don't think I don't know that you also want to use your sister to get closer to me?"
"You're talking nonsense, me"
Bang.
There was a muffled sound. Although the gunshot with a silencer still seemed dull, it was still shocking. The sound echoed in the empty space, and the sense of direction was lost.
Ma Benchun, who was originally arrogant, immediately lost his arrogance after being shot in the thigh. He rolled on the ground in pain like a beaten snake.
"Everyone must die, everyone must die!" he roared, his voice full of madness and despair.
The grenade's ring was torn open, and with crazy determination, it was thrown towards Somo.
Unexpectedly, Sumo casually stretched out his hand to catch the grenade, gently blew the floating dust on it, and then calmly put it into his pocket.
"I forgot to mention that I accidentally gave you the wrong one. What I gave you was actually a bug, not a grenade."
"Grass!"
"It's your turn." Sumo pursed his lips towards Luo Xiang.
Bang!
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xiang shot without hesitation.
The first shot was a little crooked and accidentally hit Ma Benchun's right foot. The pain was so painful that he almost fainted.
"Luo Xiang, you must die a good death. You must kill your benefactor"
Bang, bang, bang!
There was no chance for Ma Benzun to continue cursing, as a series of crisp gunshots came from the wilderness.
"You are a benefactor, so if I send you to die now, am I also your benefactor?"
After firing all the bullets in the gun, Luo Xiang flew up and kicked Ma Benchun as he rolled around on the ground several times, cursing in his mouth.
At this moment, all the depression he had felt since his mistake caused Luo You to become lame seemed to be vented.
In fact, he originally planned to let Somo let Ma Benchun go for once for the sake of old friendship.
But as soon as he heard that this guy's reason for approaching him was actually because of his sister, his anger suddenly boiled over.
Ma Benzun kept bleeding from his mouth, and the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated, leaving only a trace of regret.
There are three types of people in the wasteland.
Cruel, stupid, stupid.
He originally thought that Lao Gong was stupid and Lao Zhang was stupid, but he was ruthless.
Now it seems that he is probably the fool.
He kept kicking Ma Benchun until only the air came in and no air came out. Only then did Luo Xiang come out of his crazy state.
Seeing a large pool of blood and flesh on the ground, he took two steps back in fear and asked Somo with his eyes what to do.
"You still have to ask me this, run away!"
From the gathering place not far away, there were already escorts chasing them out following the sound of gunfire.
Somo laughed strangely, and the laughter echoed in the night, with a bit of provocation and teasing.
He spread his long legs and quickly rushed towards the dense reeds, his figure drawing a swift arc in the moonlight.
Luo Xiang stood there, dazed for a moment, and felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.
If his father Luo You were here, he would definitely scold him first and then carefully choose his escape route.
How can one be like Somo, rushing forward without any scruples, like a free madman?
"Hey, cousin, wait for me!"
Luo Xiang shouted, with a silly smile on his face, and imitating Somo, he plunged into the reed swamp and ran with all his strength.
The reeds swayed in the night wind, making a rustling sound.
About three or four minutes after the two left, the night guard who heard the noise arrived belatedly.
There were six people in total, four holding swords and the other two holding guns.
Everyone was walking back to back, with fear and caution on their faces, reluctantly heading towards the smell of blood.
"Damn it, are you still causing trouble outside at night and not letting people sleep?"
I saw a pool of blood and flesh on the ground, and even the face, the only identifiable face, had been kicked to pieces.
The captain at the head immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly motioned to the few people behind to come up and be on guard.
If the person lying down could still be identified, they would have to take him back for questioning.
If it is found out that there is any connection, the subsequent troubles will be a headache.
It's better now, since it's a stranger whose identity is unknown, just treat it as a personal grudge.
"There is no one. The shooter has already left."
"Yeah, yeah, we didn't see anything when we came here."
"The shooter was so cautious. He didn't even leave any footprints. We couldn't even chase him if we wanted to."
"That is to say, he had sense and ran away earlier, otherwise he would have been a good looker if we had caught up."
"Hurry up and check it out. It's okay to go back. I'm really in a bad mood this night."
Two rows of bright footprints in the reed swamp were quickly erased by the other five team members who arrived.
The six people destroyed the scene with great understanding, and then swaggered back to the village, asking the person responsible for collecting the corpses to take the pile of rotten meat back and bury it in any hole.
To them, those few gunshots just now were obviously not the kind of noise that can be caused by a local gun.
If you track down such people, you are really a long-lived person who has eaten arsenic and is tired of living.
After a while, two middle-aged men with bitter faces walked out of the gathering place, carrying snakeskin bags and shovels and headed towards the crime scene.
Seeing Ma Benchun on the ground, who was in extremely miserable condition, the two of them smashed his mouth as usual and sighed, who could be so cruel, and then used a shovel to shovel him into a bag.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he put on the shovel, a bag of stuff rolled out of Ma Benchun's pocket.
The two of them took it out and looked at it in surprise, and were so shocked that they almost sat on the ground.
"Mom, a bag of candy, is this real or fake?"
"Oh my God, it's true. Come and try it."
As soon as the incredibly sweet hard candy entered their mouths, the two people's expressions immediately changed. This bag of candy was enough for them to collect corpses for a whole year.
"How about us"
"Let's go, let's go, isn't this the day we've been waiting for?"
He hurriedly put Ma Benchun's body into a bag, stuffed it with a few big rocks, and sank it into the river.
The two of them returned to the village as if nothing had happened, packed up some scattered supplies they had accumulated, and fled at night.
For them, where they work is not work, and where they can go with this bag of candy can’t make a home?
Time flies by.
It wasn't until daybreak that Lord Huang of the Reed Marsh learned what happened last night from his daily report.
"The person who saved the Luo family and his son has a standard gun in his hand?"
The middle-aged man, who was called Huang Bapi by outsiders, rolled his eyes and immediately led the escort team straight to the Luo family's earthen house.
But unfortunately, when they arrived, they found that the earthen house had long been empty. The Luo family had already left their home where they had lived for several months as early as night.
Judging from the things left inside, he probably doesn't plan to come back again.
"Go to those people and ask what's going on?"
In fact, the significance conveyed by the standard firearms was so great that Huang Papi still did not give up. He found the person who blocked him last night and found out the name Ma Benchun from many sources.
Ma Benchun was on the Luo family's boat last night. He should know a lot of information.
However, what is surprising is that Ma Benchun, who was found in the morning, was nowhere to be found. Instead, he learned from the escort about the shootout outside the gathering place last night.
There happened to be a man who was beaten to death in the reed marsh. I don't know if it was Ma Benchun.
"Where are the body collectors? Take the body out and let them identify it."
"Lord, we went to look for the body collectors right then. They seem to have run away."
"What?"
The clues were completely interrupted, and Huang Papi sat on the stool dumbfounded.
