Section II

Before Ma Lin returned to Shantun, he didn't know about the changes in his hometown.

On the twenty-first day of the lunar month, there was heavy snow in the sky. Along the way, Ma Lin has seen the scene of the village Tuntun to the end of the year, and the people who are rushing to the market everywhere have a happy look on their faces, and their faces are filled with the warmth of their hometown. Marin could only see these in the land of his homeland, and he would never see them in Mukden City. As soon as he took Yangmei to the land of his hometown, he shouted enthusiastically in his heart: His grandmother's is not as good as his hometown, wow, I Marin will not leave.

In the city of One Slope, Marin rented a sleigh. The sled was pulled by three dogs, and the dog was so windy that the dog sled shot like an arrow to the backing mountain.

Ma Lin's return to his hometown this time first alarmed his father Ma Zhanshan. In Ma Lin's memory, his father's Ma Zhanshan's trachea was not good in winter and summer, and as he breathed, his father's trachea would make a bellows-like sound, so his father spoke with difficulty in this accompaniment.

The moment his father Ma Zhanshan saw Ma Lin, he was stunned for more than ten minutes. In Marin's ears, the sound of his father's trachea was like a tsunami from a mountain.

Marin said, "Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Ma Zhanshan said: Ruined, ruined, this family is ruined.

Marin's heart beat wildly a few times, and his face turned white, and he had a premonition of something.

The last time he went back to Gushantun, he did a big thing, that is, he had a big fight with Hu Zilu. That time, he wanted to wipe out Lu Da's beard, but what he didn't expect was that Lu Da and a mustache ran away. That time Lu Da was fatal, he shot Lu Da in the left eye, he saw Lu Da fall from the horse, when he wanted to make up for the second shot, those desperate and righteous mustaches rushed towards Lu Da one after another, they knew that their opponent was the fast gunner Marin, they knew that the fast gunner shot after shot would kill them. The gun of the fast gunner Marin was still ringing, and it was no longer Lu Da who was shot, but those mustaches, and in the hurry, a mustache picked up Lu Da and ran away in a panic.

Ma Lin thought at that time that maybe this time Lu was so injured that he would never dare to come to the backer again. At the same time, he was also worried that Hu Zilu would come to retaliate, but he didn't expect Lu to come so quickly.

Marin didn't need to ask his father anything, he had already seen from his father's face that Lu Da had come.

My father breathed in the mountains and said, "You shouldn't come back at this time, what are you doing when you come back?" Lu Dazheng is looking around for you, God, what's so good now-

Marin, the fast gunner, had a hunch fulfilled, and at this time, his heart was quiet, and he even smiled at his father, and the smile was so lightly that his father's surprise and worry were not worth mentioning. The fast gunner Ma Lin is full of confidence in himself, he knows that he is a sharpshooter, and he has 100 shots within 100 steps, although he is no longer in the Northeast Army, but he came back this time, but he is not empty-handed, and the two twenty fast guns that have followed him for so many years are stuck in his waist. What is the fast gunner afraid of when he has a gun, he Marin is not afraid of anything. What he was afraid of was that before he came back, Lu Da poisoned his father, and when he saw his intact father frowning sadly in front of his eyes, his heart was steady. My father has basically not changed much from a few years ago. Marin also made a wonderful discovery in his father, if a person is old enough to get old, no matter how old he is, he will not be much older.

In fact, Ma Zhanshan is not very old, just in his early sixties, but his energy seems to have been exhausted, and it is all consumed in that land. Ma Zhanshan has been like a day for decades, squandering his life and strength on his own land like cattle and horses, and he has just turned 60 years old, and finally ran out of oil. When Ma Zhanshan felt overwhelmed, his son Ma Lin returned.

Ma Lin's arrival did not bring Ma Zhanshan a little bit of comfort. On the contrary, he felt that the end of Marin had come, and the Ma family, which was relatively peaceful in the past, would it still be calm.
