The young man of Majia Village is named Ma Mingze, the word Mingze, the meaning of remembering, and the word Ze, has both the meaning of grace and the meaning of moisturizing, according to the words of the old village chief who adopted him, it is hoped that he will be able to remember the kindness of others when he grows up, and he will be born in the future and be kind to others.
Several people present at the time said that the village chief was worthy of being the only literati in the village who had read a book.
Ma Mingze is an orphan, fourteen years ago, I don't know who left him at the door of Majia Village on an ordinary spring night, when it was the cold of spring, the cold between heaven and earth, if it wasn't for the fact that night there was an idle man who drank too much and went outside to pee and happened to see the swaddling clothes that fell on the ground, maybe he died at that time, so he has been very sorry for his life since he grew up.
The village chief's family is a big family in Majia Village, and there are many people, but no one likes this foreign child, perhaps because since he came, the number of horse bandits has been more frequent, so some people say that he is a broom star behind his back, and some even directly believe that he is the breed of horse bandits, and he should be killed.
Since some people hate him from the bottom of their hearts, naturally some people like him as if he were their own family, such as the aunt Wang who married from the next village, afraid that he would be excluded at home, so she asked him to come to her house for dinner every day, and her husband Uncle Ma would deliberately pull himself to drink, and Ma Laogeng's daughter Xiaomei would secretly take herself to the nearby ridge to chat and bask in the sun, and would invite herself to eat rice balls made by her.
Of course, he knows the meaning of his name, so he cherishes the good that others treat him, and as for the bad ones, he chooses to ignore and forget, after all, this village has given him enough, he can't expect more, he is a contented child.
Just a few days ago, the third son of the village chief's grandfather, a famous lazy man in the village, suddenly brought back a bewitching woman from outside, saying that he was a hard-working person, and his parents were killed by the attacking horse bandits, and she was lucky to hide in the cellar and survived, so he was ready to sell himself in the market for money to buy a coffin for the family to bury, and it happened that the third uncle was so old that he had not yet found a wife, and he fell in love with this beautiful woman at first sight in the market, so he was ready to buy it back and get married.
When Ma Mingze saw this beautiful woman for the first time, he felt that something was wrong, both intuitively and because he didn't think that this kind of woman would be committed to such an ugly third uncle, and everything was so coincidental that people had to have a trace of suspicion.
But when he secretly told the village chief grandfather what he thought, it was the first time that he trusted the village chief grandfather showed him that strange and unusual look for the first time, that kind of look made him very uncomfortable, so he silently shut up, he didn't understand the desire of an old man to live to this age and want a grandson, no matter how good he was, he picked it up after all.
At this time, anyone can say this kind of thing, but it can't be said by him, the cheap grandson who picked it up, but the boy himself doesn't understand.
He was helpless, but he had to tell Uncle Ma's family his suspicions, Aunt Wang, who had always regarded herself as his own son, just asked him not to be prejudiced against the third uncle who always bullied him on weekdays, and Uncle Ma, who liked to pull himself to brag and fart, asked him not to think about it, it was about the day of the third uncle's wedding, just say this kind of thing to yourself, if you tell others, it will be passed to the ears of the third uncle by those who like to chew the root of the tongue, it is not good, so he can only be silent again, he knows that when a bunch of people are immersed in the beauty that can be seen in front of them, no one wants to be the unflattering bird, this kind of thing, if there is really a problem, it is just that, but in the end it turns out that it is just his own nonsense, it will only end up with a beating.
He told Xiaomei about this with the last expectation, and what made him very happy was that Xiaomei actually said that she also felt that the woman who was about to become the third daughter-in-law of the village chief's family had a problem, because she had accidentally looked at the woman, she felt that the woman's smile was fake, and there was an indescribable strangeness in her eyes, anyway, it shouldn't be the eyes of a woman who is about to join Majia Village and become her third aunt.
But who will take care of these two children, this woman who is going to marry into Majia Village is hardworking and capable, treats people well, speaks well, and everyone is very satisfied.
Who would want to take a huge risk and jump out and point at each other's noses and say you have something wrong just because of the boring conjectures of two little children in their leisure time?
So the scheduled wedding was held as usual, and the woman finally integrated into Majia Village completely.
But Ma Mingze guessed right, she does have a big problem, because she is a well-known female horse bandit, Black Narcissus!
What villager could be careful enough to spot such a veteran's problem?
After easily obtaining all the information in the village, she finally put down the guards in the middle of the night under the pretext of delivering food, after all, who would refuse a woman who enthusiastically brought them supper on a cold winter night?
When she opened the gate, the horse bandits who had been in ambush outside the village for half the night rushed in, and the nightmare of the village began.
The winter days in Youzhou seem to be extraordinarily long, and the sky at this time has begun to snow again, and a cold wind is sadistic between heaven and earth, like a ruthless hunter looking for lonely travelers in the dark, burrowing through the cracks in their clothes, scraping through their frozen faces like knives, trying to take away the only warmth and flesh left on their bodies.
Ma Mingze straddled the horse, grabbed the reins, galloped on the road rapidly, only in the usual times he had ridden the ploughing ox, riding skills are not good, can only be as close to the back of the horse as possible, firmly grasp the reins, relying on a willpower to support himself not to be thrown down in the violent bumps.
It was the darkest time before dawn, between heaven and earth, he couldn't see anything, only the cold wind howled, and the snow was falling, and he could only rely on the sense of direction in his mind to speed towards the place where the garrison was, and even he didn't know if the direction was right.
Up and down, the violent ups and downs almost turned all the food that was being digested in his stomach pouch upside down, and the biting wind blew over, and he could only tilt his head as best as he could, squinting, and the whole person shrunk into a ball to resist the divine power of this heaven and earth.
Remember the kindness of others, you must return it, this is the only thought in Ma Mingze's mind that is about to be frozen.
That boy was so seriously injured in order to save his own group, and the other brothers were reluctant to run for that son, but he must repay the favor, no matter what happened, he must insist on going to the garrison to find a doctor.
The boy also knew in advance the hardships and dangers on this road, who could guarantee that all the horse bandits would run away, and who could guarantee that they would not suddenly kill the horse pistol and come back to take revenge?
But he had no choice!
In a trance, he seemed to hear a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from ahead.
Ma Mingze's heart tightened, and the whole person suddenly sobered up a little, and the sound of horses' hooves in the distance became clearer, as if they were coming this way.
The young man was sure that he had never run three miles of land, so it would never be the garrison of the imperial court on the other side, and in this desolate land, what could he encounter at this time not be a garrison, so who could it be? The answer seemed to be self-evident.
Or have you encountered it?
The young man thought about it, his heart was pounding, and his breathing was a little shorter, but he hadn't been frozen stupid yet, so he quickly lay on the horse and thought of a way.
The dense sound of horses' hooves in front of him is getting closer and closer, Ma Mingze didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly pulled the reins hard, his horsemanship was not proficient, the horse was pulled high and jumped, and the sky neighed, he couldn't catch it for a while, and fell off the horse coldly, this time he fell solid, fortunately, the young man's body was hard, and he could still move at this time, not caring about the pain in his body, he spit out hot air, and even rolled and crawled on the ground like hiding in the field next to him.
He only hoped that the snow would be a little heavier at the moment to hide his escape.
