This morning, as usual, Ma Xingkong got up and drank the bowl of porridge left last night, holding half a piece of cornbread in his mouth and walked out. This was the only food at home. If he didn't go up the mountain to pack something,
, I have been hungry since noon.
While getting dressed, he looked at the mountain in front of the house, which was called Ghost Shaking his Head. The mountain was very steep, and no one in the whole village wanted to go up it except Ma Xingkong, a desperate guy. Because of this, on this mountain
Only in this way can we catch a lot of game quickly.
He put on his back the shotgun left by his father, put on the bullet bag, and walked out onto the road. When passing by Cui'er's house, Zhang Qigui saw Ma Xingkong and stopped him for the first time: "Xingkong, come here, uncle, I have something to say."
you say!"
"Uncle, I know what you are going to say, but look at me now, I have nothing. I can't even support myself, let alone Cui'er!" What Ma Xingkong said is true at all. Now this
At that time, not only inside the mountain, but also outside the mountain, I heard that many people were killed and even the county magistrate was changed every day. It was okay for me to be alone, but to marry a daughter-in-law, I would have to go hungry.
Zhang Qigui said with a straight face: "Xingkong, back then your mother begged me for nothing to betroth Cui'er to you. We agreed that Cui'er would be a member of your Ma family when she was sixteen. Now she's eighteen. You have to pay me back."
If you don't get married, it won't be easy to explain to your dead parents!"
Ma Xingkong chuckled: "Uncle, I know, but I can't let Cui'er suffer with me!" Ma Xingkong took the half piece of cornbread from his mouth and handed it to Zhang Qigui: "Uncle, this is
My family’s only food, if your family doesn’t have anything to eat, take it!”
Zhang Qigui looked at the half-eaten cornstarch in Ma Xingkong's hand, glared at him, and turned around to leave. The year was not good, and everyone in the village except the old Wu family was not short of food, and no one was working to survive.
.
Seeing Zhang Qigui leaving, Hei Wa quietly pulled Ma Xingkong aside, looked around and said in a low voice: "Brother, do you know that last night, I heard Uncle Qigui and Aunt discussing, if you don't
If they marry Sister Cui'er, they will exchange Sister Cui'er for food!"
"What?" Ma Xingkong asked in surprise: "In exchange for food? Where can I exchange it?"
Hei Wa smiled and said: "Who in our village still has food?"
"Wu Xiaoyi!" Ma Xingkong said.
Hei Wa nodded: "Wu Xiaoyi's lame butler has approached Uncle Qi Gui several times. This time, it seems that Uncle Qi Gui is really tempted!"
Ma Xingkong turned around and chased Zhang Qigui. Just as Zhang Qigui was about to close the door, Ma Xingkong thrust his foot into the door, pressed against the wooden door, and asked, "Uncle, do you really want to trade Cui'er for food with Wu Xiaoyi?"
"Hey!" Zhang Qigui sighed and released the door latch. Ma Xingkong didn't pay attention, and his body that was squeezing in suddenly lost his balance and almost fell!
Zhang Qigui squatted on the ground, took out his pipe, filled a pot, lit the fire, and sighed: "What do you want me to do? We can't let the whole family starve to death, right? I asked you to marry Cui'er, but you won't.
, to feed her, it is better to exchange some food to keep the whole family alive, forget it! You go!" Ma Xingkong was stunned on the spot. Zhang Qigui looked at Ma Xingkong, shook his head and sighed.
After leaving the door of Zhang Qigui's house, Hei Wa grabbed Ma Xingkong and said, "Brother, what are you doing! You can't go to Wu's house. Those bastards in their house beat people to death. A good man won't suffer the consequences.
elder brother!"
Ma Xingkong took off the shotgun from his shoulder, pulled the bolt, and took a look. The bullet was already loaded. The bullet shell had been smoked out by gunpowder. His family had no money and couldn't afford bullets, so every time he shot it, he would
Pick up the bullet casing, load it yourself, and reuse it. I don’t know how many times I have shot this bullet casing. This gun is the only relic left to me by my father. When Lao Ma was besieged by eight wolves, even though
Even though half of his body was taken away, the gun was still firmly in his arms.
Hei Wa saw Ma Xingkong holding a gun and hurriedly stopped him: "Brother, you must not do anything stupid. You can't fight against the Wu family!"
Ma Xingkong was so strong that he threw Hei Wa far away with a wave of his arm. Hei Wa got up from the ground and hugged Ma Xingkong's legs. Ma Xingkong held a gun and strode out of the door towards the east of the village.
Come to the house with the biggest head.
Hei Wa ignored the pain and got up to chase Ma Xingkong. People he met on the street saw that Ma Xingkong's eyes were blood red and he was holding his own shotgun. They didn't know what he was going to do, so they all backed away.
"Father, mother! I'm not going! Wuwuwu..." Turning a corner, there was a heartbreaking cry.
Ma Xingkong felt angry in his heart, and was stimulated by the sound again. It was as if he was watching Cui'er being forcibly pulled away by Wu Xiaoyi, and he couldn't control himself. At the door of Li Mazi's house, it was the lame man from Wu Xiaoyi's house.
Butler Wu San.
Wu San completely ignored the eyes of the onlookers and said with a smile: "Hurry up, hurry up, are you still waiting? Your father has collected three loads of food from our family. If you don't come with us today, you will not only die."
It’s one person’s business!”
"Hahaha..." Several servants beside Wu San burst into laughter.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Wu San said to the people behind him: "Go, hurry up, these grown men can't even pull a girl, what's the point of raising you?"
Several servants rushed forward in a hurry, some lifted their legs, some hugged their heads, and lifted the second girl of Li Mazi's family from the ground. Wu Sanyi waved, and the servants laughed and lifted their hands.
He went to Wu's house with the crying and fussy girl. Li Mazi and his wife didn't say anything, they could only lower their heads and wipe away tears.
"Stop!" Ma Xingkong yelled, raising his gun and aiming.
Wu San looked back and saw that it was Ma Xingkong. He chuckled: "So it's you! Don't interfere with my father's good things, get out of here!"
"Bang!" Ma Xingkong shot the gun on the ground in front of Wu San.
The servants were all dumbfounded, wondering if Ma Xingkong was crazy and dared to use a gun in front of them. Leaving behind the second daughter of Li Mazi's family, they all took off their brand-new Hanyang-made clothes from their shoulders.
Wu San glared at Ma Xingkong and said with a smile: "Are you tired of living? Do you dare to use a gun in front of me?"
Ma Xingkong's eyes widened and he ordered: "Let the girl go, I only want to settle the score with Wu Xiaoyi, it has nothing to do with you!"
"Ouch!" Wu San said: "You dare to call my father by his first name. You have the guts. Just wait for me and let's go!"
The girl had already burst into tears and ran over and knelt at Ma Xingkong's feet: "Brother, your life-saving kindness will never be forgotten in my life, woo woo woo..."
Hei Wa hugged Ma Xingkong and said, "Brother, let's go quickly! You have caused a huge disaster. Wu San will definitely tell Wu Xiaoyi when he goes back. They will never give up. Let's go quickly, go quickly!"
With one shot fired, a lot of the anger accumulated in Ma Xingkong's chest was released. His mood gradually calmed down, and he felt that he had acted too recklessly. Now that he had calmed down a little, he began to regret his actions just now. The Wu family was shaking their heads in the whole ghost.
A tyrant will give up three points to anyone who meets him. Even the newly appointed county magistrate will politely come to the Wu family to pay homage to the mountain gate. He shot him and vented his anger, which also caused a lot of trouble. He wanted to
Think of a way, you can't just walk away and let Tweety bear all this.
