Chapter Twenty-Seven: Bad Water

After Liu Mazi was down-and-out at home, although he was shameless and skinless in Gongsun Lane, after all, there were still people who sold his ancestors' face, and no one would specifically bully him, but as long as he got out of this alley, who could recognize him, he only regarded him as a beggar, daring to swagger on the street, and the beatings were light, plus Liu Mazi's hands were not clean after he had no money, so now he only dared to find those dark places with few people.

On this day, Liu Mazi ate and supported, walking in the corner of the small street and alley, and saw an old man walking over, holding a cigarette stick in his mouth, and the sparks flashed and flashed Obviously, he was smoking.

Liu Mazi saw that it was the ninth master, and immediately came to his senses, thinking about going to shoot a few sycophants, and then accompany the ninth master home, just to ask if he could sleep at the ninth master's house for a night, after all, it is not safe for the old man to sleep alone.

Here, before Liu Mazi took a step, he saw a person hurriedly walking out from behind Jiu Ye, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was about to snatch the things in Jiu Ye's hand, but Jiu Ye was defenseless and was almost snatched away. Liu Mazi was startled when he saw this, and took the step of taking it back.

People are old, the body bones are a lot worse, the ninth master is unstable, although the object in his hand has not been snatched away, but the person has fallen, the person saw that the thing did not grab the hand, stretched out his hand to grab it again, but was not prepared to be knocked by the ninth master's cigarette stick, the smoke pot is still lit in the cigarette pot, and I don't know where the ninth master hit, in short, a terrible cry sounded, and the ninth master also shouted help.

There is a lot of farming in autumn, so although it is already dark, it is just dinner time in the town, and people have not slept yet, and they will naturally come out quickly when they hear the movement.

Seeing that there was movement in the surrounding house, Liu Mazi also had the courage to go out to drink the thief who was robbing, and before his feet were sold, he saw that the man was in a hurry, and he was angry, so he directly kicked Jiu Ye in the chest a few feet, Jiu Ye was in pain, let go of his hand, the man picked up Jiu Ye's bag and ran, coincidentally, the direction of running was exactly the direction where Liu Mazi was, Liu Mazi quickly retracted back into the shadow of the corner, maybe the person ran too quickly, he didn't notice Liu Mazi, but Liu Mazi saw his face, unfortunately, he also knew, it was Li Aniu of the pharmacy.

As soon as Liu Mazi's eyes rolled, he had an idea, and he didn't go out to see how the ninth master was doing, so he waited for the crowd to come over so that he could blend in with the crowd to watch the play.

When the neighbors came, when they saw that it was the ninth master, they hurriedly carried the ninth master back to his house, and Liu Mazi mixed in the crowd and followed him to the ninth master's house.

When the ninth master arrived home, the person was still awake, the big guy asked what happened, the ninth master did not say, and after someone called the doctor of the pharmacy, the ninth master also had a strong temper and did not let the doctor see, and then the shopkeeper of the pharmacy also came to persuade a few words, and said that he would give the ninth master free medical expenses, which is an unprecedented thing, but no one thought that the old man just didn't let the doctor see, and let the family go, the neighbors persuaded for a long time, the old man insisted on refusing, there was no way, and the people in the pharmacy had to leave. Later, the old man drove people away, and it was late, and the neighbors left, after all, it was not their own pro-Lao Tzu, and it was already the benevolence of the neighbors to help.

Liu Mazi mingled in the crowd, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer. The whole town knows about the forced buying and selling of pharmacies, but everyone can't help it. It's true that Liu Mazi is a loser, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid, as long as he thinks about this matter a little, Liu Mazi can roughly guess what happened, spit in his heart, and secretly scolded the shopkeeper for being shameless.

When everyone was gone, Liu Mazi stayed at the door of the ninth master not far away, waiting for the ninth master to breathe.

Others didn't pay attention, Liu Mazi walked at the end but saw it, after the ninth master waited for everyone to leave, he vomited a mouthful of blood, it should be Li Aniu's kicks that injured the ninth master's intestines. Because he was often beaten and became a doctor after a long illness, Liu Mazi knew better than anyone that those few feet, if young people could survive for a few days, it would be good, but the age of the ninth master is difficult! This made Liu Mazi so happy that he was about to jump up. When the ninth master swallowed his breath, he Liu Mazi would be able to take the ninth master's money and house logically, and he couldn't even blackmail Li Aniu, killing two birds with one stone.

During the day the next day, there were a lot of people who came to see the ninth master, and I heard that there were many big people, so Liu Mazi went to buy some good gifts, pretending to be like a filial son and a virtuous grandson, crying and gambling and vowing to take care of the ninth master, originally thinking that the ninth master could see his filial piety and give him the house, who would have thought that the ninth master would not open this mouth, and when it was almost dark, Liu Mazi had to go outside and wait again.

Liu Mazi pretended to be a filial son for a day, and he was tired, lying on the ninth master's house not far from the place and almost fell asleep, and saw a person running into the ninth master's house in a daze, that speed, let Liu Mazi think that he had seen a ghost, and suddenly scared the sleepy insect away, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and saw that the person entered the door of the ninth master's house, the big moon shone, there was a shadow, and then he realized that it was a person, Liu Mazi breathed a sigh of relief, but before the breath was even, he took another breath: It's broken, it can't be a person with the same idea as himself, right? This can make Liu Mazi anxious, he wants to go in, but he is afraid that he is an outlaw, he can't beat it, he puts his life in, but he doesn't go in, in case the money is gone, isn't this a bamboo basket for water?

Liu Mazi walked around outside several times, and before he could make up his mind, he saw the door of the ninth master's house open again, and the person who had just entered ran out again, and ran away. Liu Mazi saw that people had run away, and he was even more anxious? You can't get your money first, right? That kid looked at the basket on his back, the money couldn't be in it, right? The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, Liu Mazi gritted his teeth, pushed the door and entered the ninth master's house.

When he entered the ninth master's house, Liu Mazi saw no signs of turning, so he breathed a sigh of relief, it was not turned over, indicating that the money was still there, which was good. Liu Mazi looked around, and saw the ninth master lying on the bed, shouted a few times the ninth master, no one said anything, this kid was bold, and no matter if anything would be discovered, he began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find the place where the ninth master hid money, and after looking around, he didn't find it, and his eyes were fixed on the ninth master's bed, this kid still has a little conscience, and he knows that he will take the ninth master down in advance, and he doesn't dare to toss the ninth master.

It didn't take long for Liu Mazi to turn over the house, and the bedding was torn open to see, but he didn't find the money, Liu Mazi didn't give up, since he stole it, he wasn't afraid of anything, turned around and was about to go to the side room to find it again, but as soon as he went out, he heard movement outside the door, and he was suddenly frightened, turned around and climbed the wall and ran.

Liu Mazi ran out not far, he couldn't run anymore, he could only hold on to the wall and pant, and when he calmed down and saw that no one was chasing, this kid's thief heart rose again, and he came back after groping. Seeing the stove of the ninth master's house on fire from a distance, Liu Mazi was strange. The Ninth Master is like that, it is absolutely impossible for the Ninth Master to get up and burn the fire, who is that? The thief? Are thieves so bold now?

Liu Mazi groped at the door of the ninth master's house for a long time, didn't dare to go in, didn't dare to run, seeing that it was almost three watches, he gritted his teeth, even if he couldn't get the money, he had to see who robbed his business. pouting his ass at the door, he happened to see Lu Yangsheng come out with a bowl, his eyes were red and he was obviously crying.

"Mourning... This person Liu Mazi knew, and the anger came up all of a sudden, and he almost shouted, and when the words came to his mouth, he was covered back.

Can't shout, don't look at this kid's age, the speed is not slow, he climbs the mountain every day, maybe he still has a lot of strength, and this kid dares to open the pot to cook, he must rely on it, and he can't act rashly.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Mazi gritted his teeth, he couldn't think about it anymore, otherwise he might have to cheapen others and find a helper. Having made up his mind, Liu Mazi spat fiercely, turned around and ran, three points faster than when he had just run for his life.

This is looking for someone to help, you can't just look for it, Liu Mazi knows very well, after all, what he wants to do now, but it's an unsightly thing, just find someone and say that he will not pit himself, and this person has to be bold, have the strength to be a handle, and he has to be able to control it, and he can't be blacked out. After rolling his eyes for a long time, Liu Mazi finally thought of a suitable person.

Liu Mazi walked out of Gongsun Lane, turned around and went straight to Li Zi Lane.

Li Zi Lane and Gongsun Lane are both peripheral alleys of Luoxian Town, so the distance is not too far, Liu Mazi is not slow, less than half a stick of incense, he entered Li Zi Lane, turned a corner, stopped in front of a house, knocked on the door desperately, did not dare to call people, for fear of waking up the neighbors.

Li Aniu just came home at night and had a fire in his belly. For the sake of a mourning star, he was so cold and hungry that he squatted at the door like a dog for so long, and finally waited for the mourning star, but the kid had nothing to do to stand up for the ninth master, so that he was taught a lesson by the shopkeeper again, and his salary was deducted for a month. Originally, the shopkeeper was very dissatisfied with what he did yesterday, but then the ninth master didn't know why he didn't poke out the pharmacy, and the old man Zhao also said that the old thing didn't live for a few days, and the shopkeeper let him go, but today the kid brought up the old things again, and suddenly aroused the anger of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper's new accounts and old accounts were counted together, and he almost didn't beat him out of the pharmacy, so scared that Li Aniu broke his head, and the shopkeeper let him go.

You know, the shopkeeper's beating is not physically deficient, and it is not called a beating, can he not be afraid?

When Li Aniu returned home, he was so frightened and angry that his father and mother didn't dare to say a word, and he didn't dare to show his head in the back room.

Li Aniu poured a bowl of water and wanted to drink it to suppress the fire, but before it reached his mouth, the anger came up, and he threw the bowl on the ground and smashed it.

"Two useless old things, look at what, go back to your house."

The old couple didn't dare to say anything, so they obediently went back to the house, and didn't dare to probe again.

The more Li Aniu thought about it, the more angry he became, walking back and forth in the yard, thinking about how to teach the mourning star a lesson, so that he could vent his evil anger, but he heard a knock on the door coldly.

Li Aniu pricked up his ears and listened, yes, it's his own home, this is strange, you know, the neighbors usually hide from themselves, and they don't come to the door during the day, let alone in the middle of the night?

It is said that he doesn't do bad things during the day, and he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, but this Li Aniu is a person who specializes in bad things during the day, so he can't help but feel a little nervous.

"Who?" Li Aniu didn't dare to go out, and shouted loudly through the courtyard wall.

"Hey, Brother Ah Niu, it's my brother, that's it, that Brother Liu from Gongsun Lane?"

"Who?" Hearing Gongsun Lane, Li Aniu's heart tightened, can't it be that the old man turned into a ghost to beg for his life? But the ninth master is not surnamed Liu.

"Who then, oh, Liu Mazi, you brother Mazi!"

Hearing that it was Liu Mazi, Li Aniu's whole person relaxed. This Liu Mazi Li Aniu still knows, Li Aniu used to be a good gambler, and the two often met at the gambling table, but later Li Aniu quit gambling addiction, and the two lost contact. Speaking of which, Li Aniu can quit his gambling addiction, thanks to Liu Mazi, if it weren't for Liu Mazi's big business, he would have been defeated, and he Li Aniu might not be able to quit.

Li Aniu first breathed a sigh of relief, and then there was a burst of fire, and he didn't sleep in the middle of the night to come here to pretend to be a ghost, and he wanted to die.

Li Aniu ran to the door in three or two steps, and he didn't talk nonsense, and when he opened the door, he was about to start beating someone, but when he heard Liu Mazi come up, he said a word, which almost scared Li Aniu's soul.

"Li Aniu, you did what happened the night before yesterday."
