The Howling Tiger took the stick from his subordinates, smiled and wanted to make a move, suddenly stopped, went up and touched Bai Fan's leg bones, and couldn't help but secretly say: "The bones are strong, the flesh and bones are well-proportioned, this body actually has the strength of a nine-rank martial artist, and it is a pity to scrap it, it is better to give him a little hardship, break his sharpness, and then collect it for his own use......"

The idea was set, and he said lightly: "I think you are also a good talent, it would be a pity to abolish you, but no one has ever dared to break my rules of the Howling Tiger, and if you don't give you a little hardship, you can bear it wherever my face goes." After saying that, he grabbed Bai Fan's finger and broke it alive.

"Ah......h

Ten fingers connected to the heart, the pain of broken phalanges, how fatal, pity him at a young age, he has to suffer such flesh and skin. Halfway through the screams, he fainted in pain. When he awoke, he was lying on a straw mat with a thin quilt on his body, and judging by the light of day, it was already the next morning. Even though the sun was shining through the hole and shining on him, he still felt cold and painful. The severed finger hand was swollen like a steamed bun, but the phalanges were put in place.

Ma Shun walked in, with noodle soup in a broken bowl, and sat down on the edge of the straw mat: "Are you better?"

"Brother Ma...... How could you...... Here...... "Bai Fan said weakly.

Ma Shun smiled helplessly and desolately: "This is my home, you sleep in my bed, where am I not here." It seems that he has suffered a lot at a young age. "I told you to listen to me, but you didn't believe it, they left you here, although I can't protect myself, how can I bear to ignore you. Come, I drank this bowl of noodle soup first, I begged it from Boss Jia, it's a pity to get cold. ”

After drinking the noodle soup, Bai Fan was a little moved, and choked up: "Brother Ma, thank you......"

"It's the same end of the world, so there's no need to mention the word thanks. It's just ......," Ma Shun said, hesitating.

"Just what?" Bai Fan said.

Ma Shun said: "Master Hu left a message before leaving, and the matter of worshipping the mountain is just like that, but you have to pay tribute like me in the future, otherwise he will beat you to death when he comes back." ”

Bai Fan gritted his teeth and said, "I won't beg if I die!"

Ma Shun persuaded in a good voice: "Come to the east, listen to my brother's words, don't work against the tiger master, in the future, you will work with me, and the begging income will be divided in half, and the daily tribute is twenty copper plates, and we can pay the difference as long as we get forty." ”

"I won't beg when I die!" Bai Fan's decision will not change.

"Well, that's up to you. Ma Shun sighed and said before leaving, "Master Hu also left a sentence, he said that if you dare to escape, you will use my life to compensate." My cheap life is really insignificant, come east, you will cherish it from now on......"

Bai Fan's body that wanted to hold up stiffened, and he fell down weakly. He is young, he doesn't know what righteous anger is, and he only has the belief that Ma Shun must not be affected, even if it will kill him.

The Howling Tiger came with people at night as promised, and seeing that Bai Fan was still lying there without moving, he said coldly: "Ma Shun didn't tell you that little pickled dirty thing?"

"That's it. Bai Fan said expressionlessly.

"You still won't listen to me?" Whistling Tiger's face was furious, and the murderous intent was condensed in his thick palm.

"I won't die and beg!" Bai Fan cried out in fear but without remorse.

"Good, good, good!" The Howling Tiger said three "good" words in a row, and the palm wind protruded, grabbing Bai Fan's head.

Bai Fan had already seen that the Whistling Tiger was a six-rank martial artist, and knew that he was by no means an opponent, but in such adversity, he burst out with outstanding courage, and after dodging this catch, he accumulated his strength all day and hit the Whistling Tiger in the chest fiercely.

Bang!

This punch did have some effect, and the whistling tiger was surging with blood, but it didn't stop there. The Whistling Tiger was counterattacked, and was very angry, and with a backhand palm knocked Bai Fan out and hit the broken wall on the side of the straw mat.

Bai Fan fell to the ground, only to feel that his five internal organs were displaced, and he couldn't stop vomiting blood, painful, desperate and sad, but staring at the eyes of the whistling tiger, he was still as stubborn as ever. "I'm dead...... Nor do they beg...... marry

......”

"Fulfill you!" Howling Tiger walked up with an expressionless face, raised his foot, and was about to trample Bai Fan to death with one kick.

"Tiger Lord be merciful, Tiger Master ......" Ma Shun suddenly rolled in from outside, and handed a rag bag to Xiaowen Tiger with a blue nose and swollen face, "This, this, this is forty copper plates, the villain and Donglai's share, all of them, don't kill him, don't kill him......"

The whistling tiger squinted slightly, took and counted, the killing machine gradually retreated, and glanced at Ma Shun, "If you want to take over his work, then if you can't hand it in one day, I will cut off the pieces of meat on your body and feed it to the dog!"

"Brother Ma......" Bai Fan was shocked, he couldn't have imagined that Ma Shun would treat him like this. Seeing the injury on Ma Shun's face again, you can imagine how much pain he has suffered for his share, and he can't help but be moved to tears.

"Donglai, lie down quickly, I'm fine. Ma Shun smiled and helped Bai Fan to lie on the straw mat, covered with a thin quilt, and sat down against the corner of the wall, "It's really a recession today, I can't get back what I can eat, bear with it, and tomorrow morning, I will go to Boss Jia to ask for a bowl of soup, if I beg him to give me some noodles, he should be willing...... You'd rather die than beg for food, come east, to be honest, I respect you very much, I used to read books, and I was half a reader, but I didn't have as much backbone as you...... From now on, when you come to the east, if you have a bite to eat, I will never starve you. I'll figure out a way to pay the daily tribute, don't worry, just take care of your injuries......"

Bai Fan knew that it was not easy for him to ask for forty copper plates, how could he dare to ask for anything to eat, and when he heard him say this, he only silently shed tears and secretly swore that when he returned to Yongling and found Aunt Yun, he would definitely repay this kindness.

Two months later, the weather began to get warmer.

Bai Fan's injuries gradually improved, and he was used to such hard days, but he couldn't help but feel ashamed when he saw that Ma Shun went out and came back every day, the old injuries on his body had not healed, and new injuries had been added, and he had to rely on him to ask for food, and he still concealed his identity.

That night, he decided to confess to Ma Shunhe.

"Brother Ma, in fact, I don't call Ma Donglai. He pulled Ma Shun and sat down.

"Huh?" Ma Shun was stunned for a moment, and quickly smiled, "It doesn't matter what people like us are called, what matters is how to live." ”

Bai Fan said: "Brother Ma, we are finally friends, right?"

Ma Shun said: "Of course, you are my only friend. ”

Bai Fan was overjoyed and said, "Brother Ma is also my only friend. Big brother, listen to me, my real name is Bai Fan, the son of Bai Chongxi, the general of the imperial hussars. My father was slandered and rebelled, and now he is in a different place, but my father has a righteous sister, that is, my Aunt Yun, who is the sister of the late queen, and as long as there is an aunt, she will definitely be able to redress the unjust case. ”

Ma Shun was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses: "Come from the east...... No, Bai Gongzi, you, why are you saying this to me?"

Bai Fan said with a smile: "Brother Ma, you have read books and know geography, so you must know where Yongling is located." You take me back, and after I redress my father's unjust case, I will ask Aunt Yun to find you an official position in the court, which is better than begging here to live, big brother said, right?"

"This, is this true?" Ma Shun's eyes widened.

Bai Fan solemnly swore an oath: "If I have a lie, then Aunt Yun will never pay attention to me again!" Despite the extraordinary suffering, he still retains a childish heart, and now for him, this is the greatest disaster.

"Okay, I'll take you back to Yongling!" Ma Shun agreed.

Bai Fan was very excited, discussed the route with Ma Shun all night, and when it was about to dawn, he made an appointment to escape together at noon, and then drowsiness hit him and fell asleep. When he woke up again, he didn't know why his hands couldn't move, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there was no straw mat under him, his hands were shackled, his feet were chained, and he was lying on the cold bluestone slab ground.

"Bang!"

There was a shock, and he got up from the ground, looked around, and came to the yamen for some reason.

"Ma, Brother Ma......" He saw Ma Shun standing next to a servant, and asked blankly, "This, what's going on?" Ma

Shun didn't care, just stood there respectfully.

"Oh, the prisoner in the hall, who is the surname, report it quickly!" Under the plaque of fairness and honesty, the county official shouted loudly.

Ma Shun immediately went to the front of the hall and knelt down: "Lord Qiyu, this person's surname is Bai Mingfan, the son of a rebel general, and I was caught unintentionally." It took the villain two months of hard work to finally get the truth out of his mouth, it is not easy, and I hope that the adult will give the reward of 10,000 taels, the villain is grateful, and there will be a red reward. ”

These words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Bai Fan's old injuries and new pains broke out together, "You...... You ......" He didn't spit out a breath, and as soon as his consciousness sank, he fell into a coma, and when he woke up again, he was already detained in a rancid prison.

"They say that there is a big man in the DPRK who will come to receive you, so you don't have to worry about your life for the time being. Ma Shun stood outside the prison, and a beam of orange light shone on his face through the gap in the wall, making his expression clear in this black prison.

"You betrayed me!" Bai Fan rushed angrily, wanting to catch Ma Shun, but there was a prison door to block him, which was naturally in vain.

"Hehehe...... Ma Shun's expression gradually became cruel, "Bai ...... No, it's better to call from the east. Donglai, you may not know, I have the ability to never forget, I only read the arrest document once, and I remember your face. I recognized you as Bai Fan early on. ”

Bai Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Then, you could have accused me a long time ago, why did you have to suffer so much for nothing?"

Ma Shun's still young eyes flashed with a vicious light. He slowly removed his burlap turban, revealing an ugly head.

Bai Fan was stunned, and finally knew why Ma Shun was wrapped in linen, because if he exposed this ugliness, no one would be willing to give him a penny.

There was not a single hair on the skull, and there were black tumors all born, one by one, and they would tremble, like the eggs of living strange insects, some of them had broken skin, and black and yellow pus would ooze out, which was both terrifying and disgusting.

No one wants to expose their shortcomings, at this moment Ma Shun's face is so hideous, and his eyes are so vicious, "I have suffered from this strange disease since I was born, and I was disgusted by my biological parents and left me in the wild, but I survived." I told you that I had read books, but I hadn't, because of my ability to never forget, I went to various schools to eavesdrop, and it was because I knew a lot of words that I knew how unfair the world was to me. Although you are in trouble now, but you are from a prominent background, how can you know the suffering of a person like me?" Speaking of this, he laughed bitterly, "Do you think Boss Najia is really so kind? If I hadn't exposed this ugly face in front of him and told him that if he didn't give it, I would go around his shop every day in the future, and I wouldn't want to do a business for him!"

When Bai Fan heard it, he couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach. He endured the discomfort and said, "This is not a reason for you to suffer so much!"

Ma Shun smiled viciously and said: "Because I don't like to make people despair too quickly, watching you condense hope little by little, and finally fall into despair, not only interesting, but also a great science." Oh yes......" his smile became mysterious, "I didn't tell anyone why you were arrested, and no one except the county government knows your true identity." ”

"So what!" Bai Fan said coldly.

"So I still have a way to save you. Ma Shun smiled.

"Help me?" Bai Fan was stunned.

The viciousness in Ma Shun's eyes never diminished in the slightest, and he continued to smile: "As long as I tell the Howling Tiger that you have a peerless method hidden in your body, he will definitely risk his life to rob the prison." ”

"What's in it for you?" Bai Fan said.

Ma Shun gritted his teeth and said: "This bastard thing of the Howling Tiger dares to enslave me and beg, anyone in this world who is involved in rebellion is a dead word! Even if he is fatal, he will not die, and he will not be able to continue to be powerful in the future, this is my punishment for him!"

Bai Fan was completely stunned. This was the most important lesson he learned in his later difficult life. Ma Shun's next words are needless to say, because he has already understood. How could he not know the importance of the Fa to the cultivators, and if he fell into the hands of the Howling Tiger, he would die if he couldn't hand over the peerless learning, and he would die even more if he could hand over the peerless learning, he had no choice at all.
