Chapter Twenty-Three: Night Rivers and Lakes

In the rivers and lakes of Beiping, there are nine elements on the bright side, but in the secret, there are countless people and things hidden.

For example, stealing and fighting.

One is a thief, the other is a thug, and he used to be beautiful when the world was chaotic, but now he is destined to be spurned, and he can only curl up in a dark corner.

Ma Laosan, short in stature, born with sharp-beaked monkey gills, nicknamed "Drill Gopher", has six in his Chinese New Year's Eve, and the thieves of his time either squatted in the prison or were caught and broke their legs, only he, who never missed, became one of the only old people left in the theft.

More than 20 years ago, Ma Laosan was just a beggar on the street, and when he was extremely hungry, he stole a drawer of buns and was not discovered, and since then he has embarked on a road of no return.

By now, he no longer needs to steal it himself, and it is enough to live a life of "abundant food and clothing" by raising a group of thieves under his hands.

But the stealing kung fu that he has practiced for many years has never slackened, and Ma Laosan is convinced that there is always a time to use.

He finally waited for this time.

The sunset cleared, and the sky was completely dark.

Ma Laosan hid behind a wall, poked out half of his head, and observed the every move of the man and woman not far away.

The man and woman had been in front of the dilapidated wooden house for a long time, and Ma Laosan quietly waited for his chance.

"As a thief, the most important thing is to plan before you act. He said to himself.

Taking a deep breath, Ma Laosan put his hand on his heart, he felt nervous and excited, as if he had returned to many years ago, when he stole buns for the first time.

"Are all the brothers ready to fight?" Ma Laosan asked, there was another person behind him, a lean middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man is an old man who has known Ma Laosan for many years, and the two have worked together many times.

"Don't worry, thirty good men are lying in ambush nearby. ”

As he spoke, he was also observing the two figures not far away, and said worriedly: "That woman is nothing, but that man, at first glance, is a family that has been practicing for many years, and it is not easy to deal with!"

"After so many years, have you ever seen me miss?" Ma Laosan snorted.

The middle-aged man listened, thought about it, became excited, and said: "Then let's do it quickly, Sister Wu has agreed, as long as we do this thing beautifully, she can turn the nine lines into eleven lines, and give us a place for stealing and fighting!"

"Can you believe the woman's words? I only hope that the two thousand oceans she promised will be in hand. ”

Ma Laosan was whispering, and suddenly saw that a man and a woman not far away had left the cabin, and were walking in this direction, he hurriedly took out a wine bottle, poured a few large sips of wine, and pretended to be a drunk to meet him.

It was already night, the gray sky was shrouded, and there was no light in the small alley, which was extremely dark.

Ma Laosan staggered and swayed, swearing a foul language or two from time to time, but his gaze was always wandering between men and women.

Got closer.

Ma Laosan narrowed his eyes and set his sights on the woman's bag.

It's closer!

He only felt that his heart was beating "poof, poof", swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his palms oozed sweat.

"It's better to practice ten times than once, are my hands and feet really rusty?"

A thought pops up unconsciously and lingers!

The road in the small alley is very narrow, and it is reluctant to allow the three of them to walk side by side, when Ma Laosan and the pair of men and women "meet on a narrow road", he finally roared, slammed the wine bottle in his hand, snatched the woman's bag, and fled.

He didn't steal it, he just grabbed it!

Unfortunately, he only escaped one step before falling to the ground, and in a flash he hit his face on the broken bottle, and the scum dug into the flesh, and the blood flowed out.

Ma Laosan screamed in pain, he raised his head slightly, and a slender foot appeared in his sight.

It was this woman's foot that tripped slightly, ruining the reputation of "drill gopher" Ma Laosan's half of his life.

"You're not a drunken person. With a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, since the early spring of sixteen, how could she, who had tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, not see through the subtle tricks of stealing.

She stomped heavily on Ma Laosan's palm and bent down, trying to get her bag back.

Ma Laosan wailed, his face was covered with blood, and his eyes were bloodshot and glowing red. Taking advantage of the moment when Picturesque bent over, he jumped to his feet, reached out with his right hand to grab Picturesque, and reached for the knife hanging from his waist with his left hand.

"Don't move, if you move again, you'll kill her!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ma Laosan flew out and hit the wall next to the alley.

Of course, he didn't get hold of the picture, let alone the knife on his waist.

Xu Daoqing's figure shook slightly, and he appeared in front of Ma Laosan, waving his right palm, like a phantom.

He used all his strength, and three palms came out in an instant.

The first two palms broke Ma Laosan's hand, and the last palm blasted him away!

"Ahem......"

Ma Laosan coughed up blood, he only felt that the bones in his body were falling apart, and he tried several times, but he couldn't get up.

"Who sent you?" Xu Daoqing stood in place, holding his hands behind his back, the deeper the night, the brighter his eyes became, at this moment, he was like a god and demon!

"Someone paid for us to try your tricks, sir. Ma Laosan learned the lesson and didn't dare to hide it.

"I wanted to steal something, get your attention, and then lead you into the encirclement......" The more he said, the more frustrated he became, the old thief who had been a thief for more than 20 years, smashed it for the first time after Taoguang raised his mind.

"I'm asking who sent you!" Xu Daoqing's voice was cold, like a cold wind howling in the night.

Ma Laosan shuddered, and involuntarily spoke: "It's ...... Wu"

After only saying two words, he closed his mouth, and he didn't know where he got the strength, got up, and kowtowed to Xu Daoqing on the ground.

"Sir, sir, I really can't say it, if I do, the villain's life will be gone!"

"The villain has no intention of offending Mr., he really can't help himself, if you don't come to test your means tonight, with that person's temper, the villain's whole family will definitely not be able to live in the future." ”

I don't know how much of Ma Laosan's words are true and how many are false, but he broke his head, tears flowed, mixed with blood dripping down, making the ground wet, and it was really a miserable appearance.

However, Xu Daoqing is not destined to be a person who is easily moved by pathos, when he heard this, his expression did not change in the slightest, he just narrowed his eyes slightly, and muttered to himself: "Come to test me?"

Ma Laosan kowtowed one hundred and eighty heads, and finally couldn't hold on, and as soon as he stopped, a voice came from his ears: "Except for you, what about the others?"

"Both... All in the vicinity. ”

"How many are there?"

"Hundreds!Ah, no, no, no, thirty or forty people......"

"Then wait for them to come. ”
