Ma Daquan stood at the door of his shop, he took out the key and inserted the key into the keyhole, but the key could not get in. He thought about it www.biquge.info he thought about it, and as soon as he pushed it with both hands, the door opened, and the shop was in a mess, everything was turned to the ground, and he hurriedly ran to the counter where the money was collected and opened the drawer. Sure enough—all the cash was gone.

"Boss Ma, I think someone wants to steal your shop!

What a fuck bastard, Zhu Zhilong, a bastard, actually stole it on my head.

Ma Daquan angrily flipped a box on the counter to the ground. He didn't notice in the slightest that there was a man standing in his doorway.

"It looks like your shop has really been stolen. ”

Ma Daquan looked up, his eyes full of surprise, and he walked to the person who spoke at the door in two steps.

"Eldest sister, are you okay?"

Shuqing shook her head, she really didn't have anything to do, she fainted just because she was too tired, it had nothing to do with her head, there was a hole in her head, it should have been accidentally cut by a branch, it was never caused by a fall or a hard blow. She is confident in her body.

"I'm sorry I didn't send Mark to his grandmother. She said, frowning slightly, her tone full of apologies.

Ma Daquan pulled a stool for her to sit down, and he sat down next to her.

"I knew it was going to be like this. ”

"You already knew?"

"Oh, no. No, I mean, I know it's inevitable!" he bowed his head, and after a moment he added, "I don't blame you in the slightest. ”

"I'm sure Mark will be fine. ”

Ma Daquan nodded, then looked up at Shuqing, "I really appreciate you!"

Shuqing waved her hand, "It's nothing, I didn't help anything." As she spoke, she looked around his room again, "Did you call the police?"

"Not yet, I just came back from the police station. Dongzi found it. ”

"Did Mark tell you about—"

"Mark doesn't like to talk to me, he doesn't tell me anything. I think he blamed me for not taking good care of his mom and brother. ”

"He knew that his mother strangled his brother, and he told me that he saw it with his own eyes, and that you made up a very sad story for him. ”

"He told you?" Ma Daquan raised his voice, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Boss Ma, there are no secrets in this town. Actually, I've heard a few things about your wife, but I know that the long-tongued women of town are always chasing after the wind, and I don't pay much attention to it, but Mark says he saw it with his own eyes—" Her last word dragged on a long end, as if thinking about what was to come. "Boss Ma—"

"Big sister, Mark, he's- that kid is very unusual!"

"I know!"

Ma Daquan shook his head, what he was referring to was not what ordinary people saw as smart or something, but something else, something he couldn't judge, at least beyond his cognition.

"Two days before his mother's accident, he told me that Leon was coming to his mother and brother. I beat him up. ”

"Y-oh! Why are you beating him? Shuqing was cautious for a moment, and the hairs on the back of her neck suddenly stood up, and the name Leon was creepy just by hearing it. Isn't there a children's song that goes like this - Leon Leon is a bastard, biting his stomach and making egg skewers, so that the eggs can't be sold, and they all rot in the nest. She remembers one year when no one bought the eggs at the chicken farm in the town, some naughty children made up a song to sing when they passed by the chicken farm.

"The name Leon is unlucky, and the people in the town don't mention it, they are afraid to mention it. ”

"He was a wicked man, a wicked man who was burned to death. ”

"Yes, but he's not guilty! ”

"Oh, I've never heard of it. ”

"My grandmother told me, do you know who my grandmother is? She was the eldest lady of the last patriarch in town. When her father died, he told her that he owed the Lai family a life. It was he who ordered Leon, the poor young man, to be burned. My grandmother was burned to death when I was 10 years old, and my house suddenly caught fire, and she was trapped inside and didn't escape, and it wasn't long before my grandfather followed. You know, my father was burned to death as well, and he went to help kill the pigs, and he fell into the fire pit and was burned alive, and my mother died not long after. ”

Shuqing looked at him, she didn't know what to say for a while, she couldn't think of anything to pick up his story, it seemed to be a very sad story. Oddly enough, no one in the town gossiped about their family's dramatic encounters.

"The same fire happened when Mark was 1 year old, and our house burned to the ground, but do you know what happened?"

"What's wrong?"

Mark was covered in a wet quilt and he wasn't hurt! At that time, I thought that maybe God would be willing to let our Ma family go, and we lived very well in the next few years, and my business gradually improved, and then Pear Blossom became pregnant again. The next year she gave birth to a big fat boy who was very chubby, and Mark liked that boy very much, but he would beat him quietly, you know, he liked that child very much in front of us, but he would beat him behind our backs, because I often found bruises on the baby's body. We thought it was just a child being jealous, but we didn't expect to see him standing by his brother's stroller with a fruit knife one day. I was horrified when I saw it, and I beat him up. ”

"And then?"

"At that moment, he cried out: 'That's not my brother, that's the big bad Leon, that's the big bad guy, he's going to kill my mother, he's going to kill my mother!'"

"You know, there are a lot of crazy people in this town, everyone says it's a cursed town, and you also find that there are actually very few people in the town, and those who have some ability are gone. His mother and I were terrified, afraid that his crying would be heard, and we were afraid that everyone would force us to send him to an insane asylum. Oh my God! He's still such a young child!" He looked up into the distance, and the passers-by on the side of the road gave him sympathetic and pitiful looks, and everyone knew that he was the only one left in the Ma family. A few passers-by wanted to shout at him, but they swallowed back. They just nodded at him, and then walked away quickly. "And then within a few days, Pear Blossom sat down in the Pu'er River with our child in her arms, and that day she said she would take the child back to her mother's house—" He said and stopped, his head hung so low that Shuqing couldn't see his face, but his shoulders twitched slightly, and she suddenly felt that this man was so pitiful. What a beautiful place the Ma family used to be in this town! Patriarch! Patriarch! But should she end up like this just because she had slandered an innocent young man? She was not a religious believer, and she did not participate in any superstitious meetings, but the disaster of the Ma family never seemed to have stopped. She suddenly remembered something!

"Boss Ma, I'm sure Mark will be fine! Since the fire didn't kill him, I believe—"

Ma Daquan suddenly raised his head, Shuqing looked at his face with tears on his face, and his heart shook, it was a face that looked completely broken.

"Mark is fine, I'm going to apologize to you, but Mark is okay! He's okay! I just want to protect him!" )
