The Rise of the Youth in the War of Resistance

"I finally found this grandson!"

Wang Shi cursed with gritted teeth, but then calmed down and said to himself:

"But we can't act rashly now. We must plan carefully and try to take them down one by one."

As he spoke, he frowned and thought hard.

At this moment, Zhao Shao was also concentrating on thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, a brilliant idea came to his mind, and he quickly added:

"Wait a moment. In my opinion, we should first find a way to lure his men away, and then take advantage of this opportunity to strike."

After hearing this, Wang Shi's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"That's great! I'll leave this matter to you!"

You are responsible for leading those people away, and I will stay behind and try to capture Ma Qi.

Once you've dealt with the other guys, come meet me again."

After the two of them had discussed it, they immediately started to act separately...

.........

The night is as dark as ink, like an endless black ocean, lurking with countless crises and deadly dangers.

At this moment, Ma Qi swaggered out of the gate of Yihong Courtyard with a smug smile on his face, and shouted loudly to the eight younger brothers beside him:

"Hey guys, did you have a good time tonight?"

The group of younger brothers were equally excited and responded one after another:

"It's so satisfying, so enjoyable!"

Seeing this, Ma Qi couldn't help but be delighted and continued:

"As long as there is a chance to live happily like this in the future, are you willing to follow me forever?"

The short but clever little brother, with a shrewd look in his eyes, said earnestly:

"If we hadn't lost our big brother's guidance and protection, we would have been reduced to pitiful beggars begging on the streets!

How could we have such a worry-free life like we do today?

From now on, I think we should just follow Brother Ma and roam the world. What do you think?"

As soon as the words fell, the other brothers all responded in unison:

"Okay, okay! We are all willing to follow Brother Ma!"

For a moment, everyone was excited and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Seeing this scene, Ma Qi couldn't help but feel a surge of heroic emotion in his heart, and he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.

He held his head high and said loudly:

"Since that's the case, I, Ma Qi, swear here that as long as I have a bite to eat, I will never let my brothers go hungry.

Even if there is only one drop of water to drink, I will definitely share half of it to quench everyone's thirst!"

These words were sonorous and powerful, fully demonstrating his responsibility and courage as a leader.

Afterwards, these nine high-spirited young people walked side by side, talking and laughing. They hooked their arms around each other's shoulders and walked briskly along the bustling streets towards their warm homes.

However, at this moment they did not realize that a huge crisis was approaching them silently like a ghost in the dark night...

At this moment, a black shadow rushed past Ma Qi and his brothers like a ghost.

One of the younger brothers had sharp eyes and instantly caught the abnormal situation, and shouted in surprise:

"Brother Ma, please take a quick look at what that black shadow is across from you."

As he spoke, he did not forget to point his finger in the direction where the shadow disappeared to attract everyone's attention.

At this time, Ma Qi, who was already a little drunk, struggled to open his half-asleep double eyelids and looked in the direction indicated by his younger brother.

However, wherever he looked, there was nothing and he found nothing.

Ma Qi was not angry about this. Instead, he thought it was just an illusion caused by the younger brother's alcoholism.

So, he turned around and said to the younger brother with a smile:

"Hey, buddy, you've drunk more than me. Look how confused you are. There's nothing in there!"

After hearing what Ma Qi said, the younger brother observed carefully for a moment, but still found nothing.

He couldn't help rubbing his eyes and muttered to himself:

"Strange, why not?

Is it really my eyes that are blurring my vision?..."

Seeing this, the short younger brother beside him couldn't help but interrupt:

"Boss Ma said you were drunk, but you refused to believe it.

Humph, anyway, I didn’t see any shadows at all!”

Several other brothers also echoed this, saying that they also did not see anything unusual.

Seeing this, Ma Qi waved his hand and urged impatiently:

"Alright, alright, stop overthinking!

It's the dead of night and you're just scaring yourself.

Hurry up and go home to sleep!"

After saying that, he led his brothers to continue forward, no longer paying attention to the strange scene that had just happened.

Everyone returned to their previous state, except that the younger brother kept looking towards the place where the black shadow appeared from time to time.

As he expected, the creepy black shadow once again entered his sight without warning!

This sudden scene was like a thunderbolt piercing the night sky, instantly gripping his heart tightly. Fear surged into his heart like a tide, causing him to involuntarily let out a series of terrified screams:

"Look!

That dark shadow appeared again!"

Hearing his hoarse shouting, everyone's nerves immediately tensed up, and they all looked towards the direction where the sound came from like a swarm of disturbed bees.

I saw a pitch-black, ghostly figure rushing past the corner of one side of the street at an astonishing speed like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it crossed to the other corner on the opposite side, as if it did not belong to this world at all, but came from some gloomy and terrifying underworld.

The crowd, who were already a little drunk, were now stunned by the extremely strange scene before them. They stood there like a fool, their eyes wide open and their faces full of disbelief.

One of the younger brothers was pale, his lips trembling slightly, and he asked in a trembling voice filled with fear and anxiety:

"That... that black shadow, could it really be a ghost?"

Then, another little brother who knew a thing or two about ghost legends began to tremble uncontrollably, and he stammered in agreement:

"Don't...don't do that! I once heard someone say that one of my uncles went to the mountains alone late one night to rob someone's grave. After that night, he mysteriously disappeared and never returned home.

Some people rumored that it was because my uncle did such evil things that he was haunted by evil spirits.

Tell me, could it be that we did something bad today that attracted these unclean creatures to our door?"

Ma Qi's heart was filled with curiosity and doubts. He secretly wondered what the mysterious ghost figure came from.

However, he knew very well in his heart that if he could not figure out the true identity and purpose of this black shadow, it would probably appear again tonight and bring more trouble and fear to everyone.

Ma Qi frowned, looked sternly at the younger brother who first discovered the shadow, and then ordered in a low and majestic voice:

"You, go over and take a closer look!"

However, the younger brother seemed to be frightened. He stood there motionless, and his legs even trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Ma Qi was immediately furious and kicked his younger brother hard on the buttocks, while shouting:

"Don't waste time! Come and see what's going on!"

Then he kicked again, and kept urging: "Hurry up!"

.........

Zhao Shao squatted in a corner of the street, his eyes fixed on every move of Ma Qi and his group, muttering to himself:

"What's going on? Why haven't they shown up yet?

How about I go for a walk to lure them out? They're really driving me crazy!"

At this moment, as if God had heard his inner prayer, he saw a figure in the distance walking slowly towards him stealthily and tremblingly.

Seeing this, Zhao Shao did not dare to delay at all. He quickly pressed his hands and feet against the wall, and then climbed up like a gecko. He did not stop until he reached a height that he thought was ideal. He held his breath and waited quietly, like a cheetah ready to pounce, waiting for its prey to come to him.

.........

The younger brother who came over seemed a little panicked. He staggered forward with difficulty, mumbling various prayers:

“…Amitabha, please, Tathagata Buddha, please bless me with safety;

Lord Erlang, please have mercy on me and protect me.

And the mighty Guan Erye, please protect me and keep me safe and sound..."

Perhaps it was because he prayed so devoutly for the protection of so many gods that this young man finally mustered up enough courage to step into this street corner full of unknowns and dangers.

However, at this moment, Zhao Shao, like a ferocious "falcon", was already on full alert, waiting for this poor "little mouse" to fall into the trap...
