The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Ma Wu looked at the people in the yard, waved his hand and asked his younger brother to bring the old bandit over.

When the old bandit saw that the situation was deteriorating and moving in an increasingly uncontrollable direction, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

He realized that the seriousness of the matter had exceeded his ability to cope. The panic of unforeseen consequences swept over him like a huge wave in the darkness, making it impossible for him to think calmly about how to solve the problem at hand.

His face turned pale as paper in an instant, sweat streamed down his forehead like a waterfall, his muscles tensed, and a feeling of weakness surged into his heart like a tide, making him look shaky.

At this moment, the old bandit had lost his usual calm and composed demeanor, and was replaced by an unconcealable panic and helplessness.

His eyes were filled with deep fear and terror, an instinctive escape and fear of unknown danger. Even a bandit leader like him who was knowledgeable and experienced in battles could not hide his inner panic at this moment.

His legs seemed to be soaked in cold sweat, his steps were weak, and his body was shaking violently, swaying in the wind like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

His face turned as pale as paper in an instant, and his whole body felt so weak that it seemed as if he could not even support himself. Trembling, he allowed his men to drag him towards Ma Wu.

"Have mercy. Hero, give me a chance!"

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore."

At this moment, he no longer had the majesty and composure of the past. He seemed so helpless and fragile. The eyes that once could handle bullets with ease now revealed deep fear and endless despair.

His lower body felt cold, and a thin yellow liquid flowed out from his trouser legs. The younger brothers around him saw this scene, and some of them sneered, secretly glad that they did not follow such a person who had obviously lost his sense of proportion and leadership.

Some laughed out loud, their words full of sarcasm and contempt, as if the old bandit who used to be so powerful, decisive and fierce was now just a joke.

Ma Wu looked at the old bandit's cowardly look and frowned, his face full of displeasure. Shameless old thing, when you killed people and set fires before, why didn't you think about the feelings of the people you killed? Now it's your turn, and you're cowardly. He said coldly:

"Old bandit, if you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. You have been arson, murder, looting, and rampant for so many years, but you never thought this day would come! Do you know that those who do evil will eventually perish. In your next life, be a good person!"

The old bandit's face was full of pleading. He struggled to stand up, holding onto Ma Wu's clothes with both hands, and kept crying and begging:

"Please spare my life! I won't dare to do it again. Sir, please be kind and spare my life!"

However, Ma Wu was tired of his crying and begging for mercy. He raised his hand and without any hesitation or sympathy, shot the old bandit in the forehead.

With a bang, the old bandit's expression instantly froze, and the pair of eyes that had once done so much evil closed forever. His body tilted for a moment, and then he lay on the ground, twitching a few times before he died.

The remaining bandits were terrified when they saw this scene. They begged for mercy loudly. Many of them had done evil things and hoped to have a chance to survive. If they survived by chance, that would be great. Their original arrogance had already disappeared, replaced by endless fear and panic.

With such a loud noise, it’s impossible that the people around didn’t react.

After hearing the noise, the neighbors next door got up and went to the yard to listen for a while. They heard a commotion next door and occasional screams. They were so scared that they quickly ran back into the house, closed the door and dared not make any sound again.

The woman who woke up asked, "What happened, boss? Why are there gunshots outside?" The man quickly stopped her, "Keep your voice down. There must be bandits next door! From the noise, someone has died. Wake up the children and let them hide in the cellar."

The woman said, "It's what they deserve. The people next door are not good people. They are rude and unreasonable and often bully others. I think they are the bandits. I don't know who they offended and got punished."

The two hurriedly packed up and hid. Other neighbors who heard the noise did the same, fearing that they would get into trouble.

After successfully getting rid of the old bandit, Ma Wu ordered his younger brothers to deal with the remaining bandits and their wives.

After killing the old bandit, Ma Wu gave his younger brothers a serious instruction.

"Get rid of the remaining bandits. They are troublesome anyway. Keeping them here will only be an eyesore. As for the remaining women, give them some money and let them go! Tell them not to talk nonsense, otherwise they will bear the consequences."

"Try not to use your guns. This is a city after all. Don't scare the people. Hurry up, pack up your belongings, and leave quickly. Don't cause trouble for the boss."

"Okay, boss"

Following his request, his younger brothers acted quickly, some rummaging through boxes and drawers to collect valuables, while others arranged a place for the female family members.

The remaining brothers took their knives and stabbed the vital parts of the bandits who were still alive. They made sure they were completely dead, and stabbed those who were not dead yet. The whole process was bloody and cruel, but Ma Wu remained calm and decisive.

He knew that he could not give these bandits any chance to fight back, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Seeing the matter come to an end, his frown finally relaxed.

Ma Wu maintained a fixed posture, standing straight in the yard, his eyes sharp as torches, gazing deeply at the people busying around in the yard.

His eyes revealed a deep and calm look, like a ray of sunshine on a summer afternoon, warm and sharp. Although his face bore traces of time, it did not affect his majestic and solemn image at all.

One after another, boxes of large oceans, large yellow croakers and various precious medicinal herbs were carried to him and placed down. These treasures sparkled with attractive light in the sun. He looked at these boxes of wealth and couldn't help but sigh that it was really profitable to trade in medicinal herbs these days. No wonder the old bandit gave up the kidnapping business and did this.

However, he also knew in his heart that if he had not intended to destroy the jobs of his people, he would not have ended up like this.

After the Japanese withdrew, there were too many traitors, bandits and hooligans left behind. They were like a pack of hungry wolves wreaking havoc in this world, bringing endless pain and fear to people. Ma Wu knew that if he did not take action, these people would continue to commit crimes and endanger society. Therefore, he decided to personally take action to solve this problem.

"Brothers, take away everything you can from these guys! The boss doesn't care about these small things, so we can't let them go."

A little brother next to him interrupted, and there was a sleazy smell in his words. From here on, the style of the painting began to deviate.

"Brother, these are easy to say, but what should we do with those women? Those beauties are rare. Although there are many in the city, we can't marry them with our status." His voice was full of desire and excitement, as if a hungry beast was staring at its prey.

Another kid said, "Yeah! Yeah! What a shame!"

"Recently, the grandsons in our Yongchang Grain Store are too cunning and act too quickly. They have snatched up all the good girls. The ones left are all ugly. Brother Wu, it's hard for the brothers!" The younger brothers talked about it. Their words were full of praise for the beauties. Such opportunities are too rare. Of course, they are not short of matchmakers now, but there are not many girls that can catch their eyes. After killing the old bandit, these people are helpless. If they reach out, they can marry them home immediately.

Ma Wu thought about it and it made sense. He still needed a wife! He had been dating several times but couldn't find one that he liked. She wasn't even as pretty as the old bandit's concubine!

"That's what I was thinking! Why are they so ugly? One girl after another is uglier than the other. Why am I so stupid? This is the problem!"

Ma Wu had a bad idea. "Why not take one of those women as your wife?"

What is his identity? He is just a working thug. He still has some self-awareness. He can't get a good woman. If he meets someone he likes, he will take her first, and the rest will come later!

Ma Wu looked at his younger brothers in front of him again. He couldn't let them get ahead of him. "These guys are all competitors."

He couldn't help but feel a strong desire and expectation in his heart, as if a burning flame was burning in his heart.

Think about it, the young master is willing to marry into the family for the sake of such a beautiful lady. It's not bad to kill the old bandit and marry his concubine! Ma Wu's eyes flashed and he coughed.

"That's right. It's a good deal. But I have to make it clear that if you marry her, you must treat her well. Don't be harsh on her because of her background. And you must get her consent. Otherwise, I will report her to the young master. He hates irresponsible people the most. If you lose your job, don't blame me for not telling you in advance."

The younger brothers quickly said:

"Don't worry! The brothers won't do such a thing."

"Although we are not educated, the young master does it that way, so he must have his reasons. We just need to learn from him."

"Yes, yes, Brother Wu." When Ma Wu heard their answer, his thoughts became even more eager.

He coughed, pretended to be concerned about them, and quietly intercepted them. "Okay then! I'll go in and find out for you."
