Chapter 36 Ma Gu’s Thoughts
Lu and Qing’s large purchases at the market naturally attracted the attention of many people.
So when the two left, several people gathered outside the large gathering, 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 suggested first.
However, as soon as he said these words, he was immediately despised by several other people.
Especially the man called the boss looked at him as if he were a fool.
"Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? I didn't see that even Mr. Ma was polite to that boy. You want me to rob them?"
Being scolded for no reason made the stern-looking little brother feel aggrieved.
「我这不是看他们两个肥嘛,你看他们背的东西,没个几百文钱都拿不下来,这么大两只肥羊,随便弄一点,都够我们快活好几天了。」
听到这话,老大沉默了起来。
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 have been doing a little bad lately, and they haven't had any trace of meat for several days.
But when he thought about Mr. Ma in the collection, he was a little timid.
That person is not easy to mess with. If they offend him, they will all be unable to eat and walk around.
But when he thought about what Lu Qing was carrying, the boss couldn't help but feel excited.
Just when these people were hesitant.
In the big gathering, Mr. Ma was also beckoning for one of his subordinates.
"Xiaotian, I remember that the old doctor Chen seems to live in Jiuli Village, right?"
"Yes, that old doctor lives on the half slope of a hill next to Jiuli Village. People in several nearby villages know it."
The subordinate called 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 of people sneaking around outside, and they seemed to have some thoughts about the young man named Lu Qing."
"Chen San? What are they doing in my territory?" Master Ma's eyes narrowed.
"I heard that a few of them stole some things in Damu Village a while ago, and were ordered by the village elder there not to go near the village in the future, so they went here to hang out."
"These little brats, instead of doing business, just think about sneaking around all day long. Go out and warn them. If they dare to touch our guests at the fair, I will break all their legs!"
"Yes, Mr. Ma!"
Xiaotian went out excitedly.
He has long disliked those little gangsters like Chen San. They usually do nothing good and only know how to sneak around in the land of fish and meat.
One of his cousins who married in Damu Village once complained to him that Chen San and others had stolen several chickens from their home.
He had no chance to teach them a lesson before, but now that Mr. Ma is backing him, he has no choice but to deal with them properly.
After Xiaotian went out, there was a loud noise and sounds of begging for mercy soon outside.
Ma Ye ignored these trivial matters, but sat on the chair and thought about it.
Lu Qing's appearance today was a surprise to 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.
But he didn’t know that in the city, this old doctor was equally astonishingly energetic.
Many powerful people, wealthy businessmen, and others treated him as a guest.
It's all because of this old doctor, who not only has amazing medical skills, but is also a great 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 has wanted to make friends with such a person before, but he has never been able to find a good opportunity.
But now, the appearance of Lu Qing gave him a glimmer of hope.
If he could make good friends with Lu Qing and establish a relationship with Old Doctor Chen, he might have a chance to return to the city in the future.
He was really fed up with 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!
Ma Ye is making plans silently 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.
Happily, 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. Most of the villagers were resting at home, and few people were walking in the village.
So when Lu Qing returned home, he didn't meet anyone.
"Huh, I'm finally back."
Putting down everything, Wang Da'an 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 back, including the heavier grain and meat, were all at Wang Daan's side.
What Lu Qing carried on his back were relatively light daily groceries.
"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, and he still remembers my name!"
Speaking of this, Wang Da'an 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 powerful 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.
The money you can earn from such a market will not be too much.
Looking at the pomp of Mr. Ma, he didn’t seem like someone who valued such a small amount of money.
Then why would he stay in the big gathering?
Is there another mystery behind it?
Lu Qing was a little confused.
"Brother Da'an, is that Mr. Ma always in charge of this collection?"
"That's not true. It used to be managed by an old man. Everyone called him Uncle Li. It was about two years ago that Mr. Ma took over."
"Okay, I'm going back, Ah Qing, you should rest first. You're 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 half-fat and half-lean pork from the basket on his back.
"Take this piece of meat back and make something delicious tonight for Grandpa Wang to try."
"No way, no way!" When Wang Da'an saw it, he waved his hands repeatedly, "This meat is not cheap, you should keep it for you and Xiaoyan!"
“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 my thank you gift to you.” /> "Just take it!" Lu Qing forced the meat into Wang Da'an's hand, "If you don't want it, I will be embarrassed to ask you for help if I have something to do in the future."
"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 taking 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 take Xiaoyan back.
