On the reed beach of Wujindang, Ma Shukui was surrounded by several women in the middle.

He lay upright with his face up, a towel in his mouth. The doctor who treated him was a strange woman who had been caught on the reed beach.

Later, because she knew how to deliver a woman, she was called a midwife. If you want to talk about the midwife, she only knows how to bake the scissors on the fire to show disinfection, and then what surgery to perform on Ma Shukui. Dried potatoes and wine became a disinfectant. I saw her take a sip of dried potato wine and spray it on the red-hot scissors.

"......"

After a puff of white smoke, the air was filled with the smell of alcohol.

Delivering babies to full-term women, as midwives often do.

Reed Beach, people who can understand a little knowledge of medical treatment, if you exclude the midwife, then no one can understand. So, how did Ma Shukui get the midwife to the reed beach? Talking for a long time, I have to start with a casino opened by the Zhao family father and son two years ago. Zhao Wenwen, the casino opened by his son Zhao Guodeng, is the only entertainment venue that can be used in Qianxing Street.

The bathhouse is also opened by their family according to the season.

In the summer, the bathhouse is closed because there are few bathers.

In the winter, the fire began to burn, and the bathhouse business was quite good. His son, Zhao Guodeng, likes to play, and the casino is handed over to him. Zhao Wenwen manages the bathhouse, and he likes to take a bath every day and sleep comfortably at night. The father and son have a good reputation in the small street of the money store, they have something to do and make money, that is, they are doing their jobs. Not a good guy, but definitely a good guy among the bad guys.

The Sun family's Ma Jiadang merchant ships are always robbed in Wujindang, which is unprecedented.

In recent years, there have been frequent incidents of merchant ship looting in almost every season.

Moreover, the water bandits called him by his name, and in front of the people on the robbed ship of Ma Jiadang, he patted his chest unabashedly and teased loudly: "Everyone, I robbed your things today." Someone of you just asked me why I always like to rob the cargo ships of Ma Jiadang, then I will tell you clearly.

But all the merchant ships that pass through my Wujindang, regardless of whether they are bully landlords or relatives of the emperor, will pass with the permission of my Ma Shukui. The merchant ships that do not come to Wujindang to register and hand over for protection can only end up being the same as your merchant ships in Majiadang, and being robbed and seized is their only way out.

Don't ask me why I have repeatedly attacked the Majiadang merchant ships? Go back and ask your master, why he didn't give me Ma Shukui to pay protection money, it is self-evident, and he knows it well. Wu Jindang, I planted this tree, and I opened this road. Eighty miles of water, I, Ma Shukui, dominate the world, but your Ma family doesn't give me Ma Shukui's face.

In that case, we can only wait and see. I have never promised you Majiadang's merchant ships, only once or twice a year. If you're lucky, it depends on whether I, Ma Shukui, are in a good mood. An unhappy group destroys your Ma Jiadang, hehe, it's just around the corner. ”

The merchant fleet that came back to report truthfully reflected what Ma Shukui said, and they didn't care.

What's the matter, that Sun Mingquan is in charge, he is full of food and has nothing to do all day long.

There is a brother in the capital who came back on time and on time to receive the silver ticket, and he fished just to confuse the smoke screen released by others. In essence, he sat and enjoyed, gold, silver, jewelry, glory and wealth were inexhaustible. Whether merchant ships make money or not is unintentional for Sun Mingquan. The reason why it is rotten in the hands is because no one dares to take on a huge fleet of dozens of large wooden boats.

If Sun Mingquan said that he didn't want the Ma Jiadang merchant fleet, the problem was that no one would dare to accept it.

Therefore, although Ma Shukui has robbed Ma Jiadang merchant ships many times and is accustomed to it, Sun Mingquan still does not feel pain.

Regarding Ma Jiadang's affairs, Sun Mingquan is not sure to manage them. The local bureaucrats also had nothing to do with Sun Mingquan and their family, and everyone knew that Sun Mingyuan was not a fuel-efficient lamp in the capital. No matter what happened to Sun Mingquan and his family, even if someone came to report to the official, they had to listen to Sun Mingquan's opinion.

dragged Sun Mingquan, whether it was done or not was up to their old Sun family.

The local bureaucracy is on the top, so that it is easy to push and let go; Next, Sun Mingquan will take all the responsibility alone. Sun Mingquan and the government did not act, and Ma Shukui of course changed his body, not hiding or hiding. Wave the flag and shout on the expedition, and collect the troops and sound the gong to open the way. Every time they snatched the hands from Ugindang, they took everyone to the small street of Qianxing to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and squandered it.

Naturally, Zhao Wenwen's bathhouse and Zhao Guodeng's casino became their regular customers.

As for why Ma Shukui came to the casino and bathhouse to squander, Zhao Guodeng and Zhao Wenwen did not seek to understand.

The visitor is a guest, and as long as he gives the silver, he can do anything. Although Ma Shukui is a bandit, in terms of shaving his head, taking a bath, gambling and prostitution, Ma Shukui still has righteousness in the rivers and lakes. Don't owe money, don't pay the debt, don't have money in your pocket, and never do business without money. At this point, Ma Shukui can be regarded as a tough guy in Qian Xing Street.

Bandits are not useless, and from them, you will also find places to shine.

Ma Shukui is different from others, and people will never reveal the slightest rumor before they do something. Ma Shukui is different, he first publicizes before he is ready to do something. The disadvantage is to give the other party a chance to prepare to deal with him. The advantage is that the soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the public opinion war shakes the determination of the local villagers and tyrants to stick to their homes. Then, take advantage of the situation!

Needle the disadvantages of the times, to the point.

Ma Shukui made his plan public, and in the eyes of others, he was stupid.

As the party concerned, Ma Shukui, according to his historical hand experience, may also be a means to make the other party panic and surrender without a fight. The key is to see who and what is the right medicine. Under normal circumstances, most people take things as the original value, and take the surprise attack and defeat as the magic weapon.

The reason why Ma Shukui dared to do this was to take the lead with his eldest brother's Bird Gate business, and from a certain point of view, Ma Zhankui's Bird Gate business was deeply affected. Therefore, Ma Zhankui had to send someone to support and take care of his Wujindang. As for coming to the small street of the money store and squandering the money he robbed, that is the inertia of all Jianghu people.

They eat in their stomachs and wear them on their bodies, and they never take care of their wives and children at home, which is the least worthy of people's respect in the rivers and lakes.

No heart and no lungs, living and not getting tired is the way to survive for people who run rivers and lakes.

went to the village and went from house to house, and they couldn't get rid of the girl after prostituting the girl. robbed other people's property, left no way back, and never asked how they would live after they were robbed. There is wine today and drunk today, and I don't know where to eat tomorrow. Therefore, Zhao Wenwen and his son Zhao Guodeng are happy to get along with the bandits of Wujindang.

The reason is very simple, dealing with people on the small street of the money store is doing business with acquaintances.

There is a cheap one in the world, you say that you do business to make money, and the local people want you to be free.

For Zhao Wenwen's father and son, they would rather sit in the business of outsiders than deal with acquaintances and natives. Ma Shukui's Wujindang bandits have become regular visitors to their house, and Zhao Wenwen will certainly not close his eyes and collect cash. The bandits can bring silver to the door to consume, and the advantage is to do business with these people, refreshing, heroic, generous, expensive and cheap.

Zhao Wenwen was not stingy, and when he was happy, he bought some wine and dishes, and he and Ma Shukui got drunk and rested, and they had feelings for each other.

Of course, this emotion comes from buddy righteousness.

From the fish to the fish, the water to the water, mutual benefit. In order to curry favor with Ma Shukui, Zhao Wenwen's father and son can be regarded as letting go. As long as Ma Shukui asked for it, the father and son tried every means to do it for him. On this day, Ma Shukui was very drunk, and when he saw Zhao Guodeng's wife, his eyes were sparkling.

Under normal circumstances, Ma Shukui would not have done such a rebellious thing. Isn't this drunk, the eyes look at people's hair, and who is drunk and who is confused. While Zhao Guodeng's wife served the food to the table, Ma Shukui smelled a peculiar smell and male hormones surged.

"Hehe, where did the little beauty come from. Come, accompany me to drink, have a drink. ”

stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Erya and didn't let go, so frightened that Wang Erya retreated to leave.

Anyway, Ma Shukui's strength doubled after drinking. If you don't break free, the more Wang Erya breaks free, Ma Shukui simply hugged Wang Erya with the power of wine.

To tell the truth, Ma Shukui was really drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do this unkind and unjust frustration. "Don't, don't go? Uncle, uncle, I won't treat you badly, don't believe it, you, you go and ask the boss. ”

Wang Erya was stopped by him and hugged her, originally, she was blushing, but she didn't want more people to know.

Ma Shukui came like this, and Wang Erya was difficult to ride a tiger. Everyone looked at her, and Wang Erya was very embarrassed. Thinking in her heart, if I don't have a family again, these little bandits will have to see me do more in the future, and after thinking about it, she shouted to Zhao Guodeng: "The child is his father, the child is his father, come quickly, Ma Erye is drunk, hurry up and send him back to the room to rest!" ”

Zhao Guodeng was directing the cooking in the kitchen, and when he heard his daughter-in-law's shout, he came in response.

Accompanying Ma Shukui to sit was his father-in-law Zhao Wenwen. Zhao's article, which is confused, is also overwhelmed. Hearing his daughter-in-law's shout, Zhao Wenwen, who was napping on the table, opened his confused eyes and muttered: "Who, who said that Second Master Ma drank too much?" He, Second Master Ma, no, not much. Grandpa I, drink, drink too much! ”

After speaking, the head that can't hold it is like a shaking rattle. "Snap", slammed his head on the edge of the big table, and continued to gasp for breath, as if he was going to sleep.

Due to the effect of alcohol, the ability to understand is reduced, a little old-fashioned, and it is impossible to distinguish right from wrong, which is the common characteristic of drunk people.

The words he said to Ma Shukui before drinking were consistent and vivid after drinking.

Zhao Guodeng hurried over, he knew what Ma Shukui needed when he was drunk.

echoed his daughter-in-law's ear and said a few words that others couldn't hear, only to see Wang Erya hurriedly change to another face, and attached a smile to Ma Shukui's ear and said, "Oh, Second Master Ma, don't worry? Holding people's waists so hard, they couldn't breathe, and they were so uncomfortable. Hmm......" Ma Shukui was really let go of his hand when she came like this.

Consciously, he muttered, "Hey, that's right!" Hurry up and help the second master of the horse, go to bed, go to sleep! Ma Shukui tried hard to stand up on his legs, only to find that he couldn't walk at all. But in his heart, he definitely didn't want to give up the temptation from women. Therefore, Ma Shukui continued to hold on to the edge of the table with one pair of hands and one leg of his own, intending to stand up and find a bed to sleep.

It was the unitary time of summer, and the other little bandits continued to eat and drink nonsense.

Grandma's, the casino seems to have become their tavern. Take care of this one first, serve Ma Shukui well, everything is fine. "Second Master Ma, you rest first, and let someone wash your body." Ma Shukui, who was almost unconscious from drinking, heard Wang Erya's sweet words, and his face was full of relief and relief. He collapsed on the bed and waved.

"Hmm...... You, you hurry! Remember...... Live, don't let you play, play my second master. Otherwise, let you, let you ...... Life is better than death, pain is not life. Hi ......" Zhao Guodeng and his wife were alone just now, helping Ma Shukui, who was confused, to walk towards the room step by step.

When he fell on the bed, he realized that he was drunk. Nothing can be done.

Zhao Guodeng put it on his woman's ear and taught her to coax a drunk. If you are drunk and want someone to walk on your back, what can you do out of the ordinary?

Hearing Ma Shukui's words in his stomach, the couple "chuckled" in their hearts. I'll go, it seems, if I don't find someone for him, it will definitely not work. No matter what he did or not, what he promised the bandits to do, dripping blood like nails. A mouthful of foam and a nail. If you don't do this, then Ma Shukui will wake up and find that we have deceived him, and in the future, if you want to get along with Ma Shukui, I'm afraid it will be so easy.

What to do?

Coaxing him for the time being is considered a success, but when he wakes up, he can't see the fairy in his drunken eyes, so it's strange if he doesn't take the knife on our father and son.

I hope that when he wakes up, he can't remember anything, which is a great luck for the Zhao family.

However, he was worried that if Ma Shukui recalled that it was Zhao Guodeng and Wang Erya who deceived him, there would be many good things, and Ma Shukui would not be so easy to mess with. The key is that his brute force comes up, and he will not be reasonable to anyone. Even if the person facing him is his parents, Ma Shukui still doesn't give face.

For him, face is not worth a few dollars, relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to run.

Rely on your parents, and your parents will grow old. Live yourself, that's called a royal road.

Don't look at Ma Shukui and their father and son, once they turn against each other, Ma Shukui is absolutely ruthless, how can Zhao Guodeng and his father Zhao Wenwen not know. Thinking about it, Zhao Guodeng suddenly asked Wang Erya: "Can you find the person Ma Shukui needs in Qianxing Street?" It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's a woman. ”

Zhao Guodeng's method is not unreasonable, find a woman to sleep next to Ma Shukui, he doesn't know why when he wakes up, but at least he recalls it and won't attack the Zhao family. Wang Erya shook her head: "Where can I find women, the streets are full of women, you can't just drag one in, right?"

Besides, where am I going to find someone like me? He's just interested in me, and you're embarrassing me. ”

"Ahh Isn't he drunk? How do you know that when you get drunk, you are the one who is indecent to you? Go, as long as someone is willing to accompany Ma Shukui for a night, how much silver, our family is out. There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the people in the brothel are all known to Ma Shukui, so don't go to that place to find out, do you know? ”

Wang Erya was a little embarrassed, she took three steps and took two steps back, not wanting to do this lack of morality.

Take the silver to buy someone to sleep with Ma Shukui, what should he do when he wakes up and does a fake show? "I, I'll look for it, I can't find it, don't blame me when you come back."

Wang Erya was not very sure. Although there are countless people who sell children and girls with straw marks on their heads in the small streets of the money shop, Wang Erya still feels that this matter is a bit abrupt. She walked with heavy steps, unhappy, unhappy. looked like he was forced to walk out of the Zhao family casino, turning back step by step, and hiding his steps.

The small street of Qianxing is divided into north, south, east and west cross streets, like extending in different directions.

It is not small to say that it is not small, there are hundreds of families living in the center of Cross Street, and the population is thousands.

Compared with Liujiazhuang and Majiadang, it can be regarded as a small thing. Walking to the crossroads, Wang Erya didn't know which direction to go in order to meet the begging woman along the street. I thought to myself, buy them a set of clothes to wear, and give her some silver, so that the begging people in the streets will not agree to her this.

Wang Erya, who was hesitant and didn't know which street to go, was at a loss.

"Sister, can you tell me which hotel is here?"

Wang Erya concentrated on thinking about where she was going.

Suddenly, a person dressed as a little woman came from behind, and Wang Erya was frightened. She said "ah......" and hurriedly turned around, only to see a beautiful woman like a flower, wearing a flower-colored triangular scarf on her head and a floral cloth shirt on her upper body. The pants are corduroy and drag to the top of the foot. Wearing a pair of black single cloth shoes on his feet, he looks lean and neat.

Wang Erya saw that she was asking for directions, and suddenly thought in her heart: "If I go, who else will I go to?" Isn't this little woman just right? Haha, it's urgent......"
