Chapter 36 Ma Gu’s thoughts

Lu Qing and his two friends naturally attracted a lot of people's attention as they made large purchases at the market.

So when the two left, several people gathered outside the venue, whispering.

Boss, those two boys bought a lot of things. They look like fat sheep at first glance. Do you want to go up to them and get some money to spend?

A young man with a sly eyebrow proposed first.

However, as soon as he said these words, he was immediately despised by several others.

Especially the man called the boss looked at him like he was a fool.

Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? Didn't you see that even Mr. Ma was polite to that kid? You want me to rob them?

Being scolded for no reason made the little brother with a sinister look a little aggrieved.

I don't think they are fat. Look at what they are carrying. They can't even carry hundreds of pennies. If you get two fat sheep like this, just a little bit will be enough for us to be happy for several days.

Hearing this, the boss fell silent.

How could he not be tempted? Among other things, the meat on the backs of those two boys was enough for him to covet.

They've been doing a little bad lately, and they haven't had any trace of meat for several days.

But when he thought of Mr. Ma in the big episode, he felt a little timid.

That person is not easy to mess with. If he offends him, they will all be unable to eat and walk around.

But when he thought of what Lu Qing was carrying, the boss couldn't help but feel excited.

Just when these people were hesitant.

In the big gathering, Master Ma was also beckoning for one of his subordinates.

Xiaotian, I remember that old doctor Chen seems to live in Jiuli Village, right?

Yes, that old doctor lives on the halfway slope of a hill next to Jiuli Village. People in several nearby villages know it.

The subordinate named Xiaotian replied respectfully.

Then take the time to go to Jiuli Village and find out whether the old doctor has recently accepted a disciple named Lu Qing.

Yes. Xiaotian replied respectfully.

I know that Mr. Ma wants to check the young man who came to the market with money just now to buy things.

Thinking of this, Xiaotian suddenly remembered something and quickly reported: Master Ma, when I came in just now, I seemed to see Chen San's group sneaking around outside, and they seemed to have some ideas about the young man named Lu Qing.

Chen San? What are these little bastards doing in my territory? Mr. Ma narrowed his eyes.

I heard that a few of them stole some things in Damu Village a while ago, and the village elder there ordered them not to go near the village in the future, so they came here to hang out.

These little bastards, instead of doing business, just think about sneaking around all day long. Go out and warn them. If they dare to touch the guests at our big party, I will break all their legs!

Yes, Master Ma!

Xiaotian went out excitedly.

He had long disliked those little gangsters like Chen San. They didn't do any good things on weekdays, they only knew how to sneak around in the land of fish and meat.

One of his cousins ​​​​who was married in Damu Village once complained to him that Chen San and others had stolen several chickens from their home.

He didn't have the chance to teach them a lesson before, but now that Mr. Ma is backing him, he has to deal with them properly.

After Xiaotian went out, there was a commotion and sounds of begging for mercy soon.

Mr. Ma ignored these trivial matters and sat on his chair to think.

Lu Qing's appearance today was a surprise for him.

If this young man is really the apprentice of old doctor Chen, it is great news for him.

The people in the countryside outside only know that the old doctor has amazing medical skills, good hands and benevolent heart, and is a miracle doctor.

Little did he know that in the city, this old doctor was equally astonishingly energetic.

Many powerful people, wealthy merchants, and others treated him as a guest.

It's all because this old doctor not only has amazing medical skills, but he is also a master of martial arts.

Even the county magistrate once praised him for his profound cultivation, which has almost reached the peak of acquired master status.

He had wanted to make friends with such a person before, but he had never been able to find a good opportunity.

But now, Lu Qing's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope.

If he could make good friends with Lu Qing and build a relationship with Old Doctor Chen, he might have a chance to return to the city in the future.

He really had enough of this shabby market.

If he hadn't gotten into trouble before and his father had issued a ban requiring him to stay here for five years, he would have left his burden and gone back!

Mr. Ma silently made plans alone.

Lu Qing and Wang Daan did not know what happened at the gathering after they left.

However, Lu Qing has always been vigilant. He also knows that the purchases at the big market are a bit eye-catching.

But there was no other way. He had a lot of things to do next, and he didn't have time to rush to the market every now and then, so he had to take a risk.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened until they returned to the village.

The two took down the red rope from the big tree, put it back under the stone slab, and continued carrying their things to Lu Qing's house.

It was already close to noon, and most of the villagers were resting at home, with few people walking around the village.

So when Lu Qing returned home, he didn't meet anyone.

Huh, I'm finally back.

Putting everything down, Wang Daan gasped.

Thank you, Brother Da'an. Without your help, I wouldn't be able to move so many things back. Lu Qing looked grateful.

The things I bought, including the heavier grains and meat, were all at Wang Daan's side.

What Lu Qing was carrying were relatively light daily necessities.

Thank you for nothing. This is what I should do. Speaking of which, I also want to thank you. Today is the first time I have spoken to Mr. Ma so close. Moreover, he still remembers my name!

Speaking of this, Wang Daan became excited again.

Is this Mr. Ma very powerful? Lu Qing asked curiously.

Of course it's awesome! Wang Da'an said, You have to know that the entire Daji is managed by Mr. Ma, and he also has a group of subordinates. He is the most majestic person in this area!

This made Lu Qing even more confused.

In his opinion, the prosperity of Daji was somewhat beyond his expectation.

But in the final analysis, it is just a small market.

The items sold inside are not luxury goods, but mostly agricultural and sideline products.

In such a market, the money that can be earned will not be too much.

And looking at the pomp and circumstance of Mr. Ma, he didn't seem like someone who cared about such a small amount of money.

Then why would he stay in the big collection?

Could there be another mystery in it?

Lu Qing was a little confused.

Brother Da'an, is this big collection always managed by Mr. Ma?

That's not true. It used to be managed by an old man. Everyone called him Uncle Li. It was probably two years ago that Mr. Ma took over.

In this way... Lu Qing was thoughtful.

Okay, I'm going back. Ah Qing, you should rest first. You will be tired after carrying so much stuff back.

Seeing Wang Da'an about to leave, Lu Qing quickly called him: Wait a minute, Brother Da'an!

Then he took out a piece of pork that was half fat and half lean from the basket.

Take this piece of meat back and cook something delicious for Grandpa Wang to try tonight.

I can't do it, I can't do it! When Wang Daan saw it, he waved his hands repeatedly, This meat is not cheap, you should keep it for you and Xiaoyan to eat!

I still have a lot here, as you have seen, and this time you led me the way and helped me carry so many things back. This piece of meat should be regarded as a thank you gift from me.

It won't cost so much. Such a big piece of meat is worth more than ten cents!

Just take it! Lu Qing forced the meat into Wang Daan's hand, If you don't want it, I'll be embarrassed to ask you for help again if I have anything to do in the future.

That's...ok.

Seeing Lu Qingdu say this, Wang Daan could only accept the meat.

Okay, don't be embarrassed, go back quickly. We have been out for so long, maybe Grandpa Wang is already worried. Brother Da'an, please go back quickly to make sure you are safe.

Lu Qing saw that Wang Daan seemed a little embarrassed after accepting the meat, so he pushed him out.

After Wang Daan left, Lu Qing cut off another small piece of meat.

Then he took the meat and prepared to go to Grandpa Zhang's house next door to bring Xiaoyan back.
