When he woke up, he was already at home. Ma Yi didn't even know how many people beat him, let alone see their faces clearly.

Ma Shun's wife wiped away her tears and said, "It was your second aunt's eldest brother who sent you back. When he was passing by the wasteland, he saw you lying unconscious beside our mule cart, so he took you and the cart away."

Sent home."

Ma Shun's wife asked, "Can you tell who the person who called you is from his voice?"

Ma Yi shook his head, "The man's voice sounded unfamiliar. I could only tell that he sounded like a teenage boy."

Yingniang said somewhat happily: "Those people were also surprised. They only injured you but did not steal the mule cart."

Ma Shun's wife seemed to have thought of something and said, "It seems like you are trying to discourage someone. Ma Yi, think about it quickly. Have you offended anyone recently?"

Ma Yi frowned, he had a quarrel with someone today.

Landlord Ge from Zaozhuang clearly ordered only twenty-five kilograms of dried tofu yesterday. When delivering the goods to him today, he had to take ten more kilograms instead of ordering thirty-five kilograms.

The dried tofu that Ma Yi brought in the car was all ordered, and there was not a kilogram extra. The goods currently in the car were all ordered by Dongcun Yuanwai, and he would definitely not be allowed to take them away.

The boy next to Landlord Ge had a few quarrels with Ma Yi.

When you go out to do business, you will inevitably shout a few words to others. This kind of thing usually happens, but you have never hit someone just because of a few words of quarrel.

Ma Yi wrinkled his face and thought about it for a moment, then said: "That boy looks like a teenager."

The fat on Ma Shun's wife's face trembled twice, and she gritted her teeth and said, "That boy must have done it. Let's go find him."

Ma Shun shouted: "Okay, there is no proof, can you go find someone to admit it? Besides, maybe this is..."

Before Ma Shun could finish his words, he felt the words hovering above his head, "Ma Shun is in trouble."

Ma Yi suddenly thought of something, touched his arms up and down, and said with a grimace: "Those people don't just beat people but don't rob them. My wallet is missing. The money I paid for selling tofu and dried beans today is all in my wallet."

of."

It is difficult to tell whether the attacker robbed the purse or whether it was something else. After all, the attacker did not even take away something as valuable as a mule cart.

Ma Shun felt even more certain that this was a destined disaster.

Ma Yi's matter had just come to an end. That night, Ma Shun's sisters-in-law came to Ma Shun's house to cause trouble again.

The two sisters-in-law were making a fuss at Ma Shun's house. What they meant was that Ma Shun's business was booming now and he would rather help Ma Shun's daughter-in-law's family regardless of the life and death of his brothers.

He also traced back the story and said that this tofu business was a craft passed down from Lao Ma’s parents, and the brothers should all share some of the benefits.

Ma Shun knew that it was the eldest brother of his second sister-in-law who sent Ma Yi back. When he saw Yingniang helping to make tofu at home, Ma Shun had to comfort Ma Shun's daughter-in-law with kind words.

By the time they were finally sent away, it was already midnight.

Finally, after a stressful day, Ma Shun thought it was time to calm down, but unexpectedly, accidents kept happening.

The next day, before noon, Ma Lian went home early. His hands were as thick as steamed buns, and he brought back a message from his master.

It turned out that Ma Lian fell asleep in class today and was slapped on the palm by his master.

The master also asked Ma Lian to come back with a letter, and asked Ma Shun to go to school in the afternoon and discuss with the master face to face how to teach his children.

Ma Shun scolded Ma Lian angrily and didn't bother to eat lunch, so he hurried to attend the appointment with his master. Unexpectedly, he sprained his foot again just after leaving the courtyard.

At this point, Ma Shun has firmly believed in the words on the talisman paper, and he, Ma Shun, is about to be in trouble.

Ma Shun limped back from the school, and he couldn't wait to pull out a piece of talisman paper that he had deliberately hidden from under the bed, and carefully pondered the words on it: Crossing ten, disaster will disappear.

What does this mean? Does it mean that he has to encounter ten disasters before he can stop?

The arrival of Si Sheng interrupted Ma Shun's train of thought, and he hurriedly collected the talismans and went to the main room.

Si Sheng came to discuss the order of dried tofu with Ma Shun, "Brother Ma, Xinglong Inn temporarily added fifty kilograms of food today. I really can't make so much here."

Si Sheng looked at Ma Shun's calm expression and said: "The inn's shopkeeper Liang is familiar with Brother Ma, so I came here specially to discuss with you whether I can give him thirty pounds tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

I’ll give you another twenty kilograms.”

Ma Shun didn't raise his eyebrows and said: "It's really impossible to do it. I can't keep up with the tofu here."

After receiving Ma Shun's reply, Si Sheng went back without looking back. Ying Niang, who was hiding aside, was so angry that she almost tore the corners of her clothes.

As soon as Si Sheng left, shopkeeper Liang of Xinglong Inn came to the door again in person, "Brother Ma, you must deliver those fifty kilograms of dried tofu to me tomorrow. It was specially ordered for a guest of the inn. We can't help that guest."

I can't afford to offend you. I heard that you have had a lot of orders in the past two days, so I made this trip specially."

Finally, after much thought, Ma Shun left the courtyard to find Si Sheng, who reluctantly agreed to let people work all night to supply Xinglong Inn with enough supplies at once.

As soon as Ma Li came back from the city the next day, he happily said to Ma Shun: "Dad, Xinglong Inn paid us the money that was withheld yesterday, and the shopkeeper asked me to send a message to thank you."

Ma Shun nodded, Si Sheng had someone deliver the fifty kilograms of dried tofu as scheduled today, and the shopkeeper returned the favor and returned the money deducted from Ma's family.

Well, this is a small consolation. As long as no more troubles happen, Ma Shun will be satisfied.

The words appeared in Ma Shun's mind again: "If you talk to each other ten times, the disaster will disappear." If you count the two disasters in his family, they haven't even reached ten, so they still have to be careful to guard against them.

Suddenly a flash of light flashed in Ma Shun's mind. Crossing the cross of ten means that disaster will disappear. Isn't the cross of ten just the word "leaf"? Crossing leaves means that disaster will disappear?

Si Sheng's surname is Ye. Could this sentence allude to Si Sheng? Ma Shun shook his head, how could that be possible? Si Sheng and the others are just a group of refugees.

In the afternoon, when Zhao Laosan came to pull the tofu, he watched Ma Shun count the money divided into pieces, then took out a purse and asked: "Village Chief Ma, my fourth uncle found this purse when he was packing up the empty tofu rackets today.

It's sandwiched between two wooden rackets, I wonder if it was dropped when you were loading tofu."

Ma Shun recognized it at a glance. This was the one Ma Yi used on daily basis. "This is the one Ma Yi lost the day before yesterday. How could it be caught in the tofu racket?"

Ma Shun was so surprised that the lost money could be found back, and he reached out to pick it up, "Thank you very much."

Zhao Laosan put the purse behind his back, and Ma Shun's face darkened. What's the matter, you still want benefits? Refugees are refugees.

Zhao Laosan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Village Chief Ma. Although I picked up this purse from your tofu auction, I'm not sure who left it there. In order to be responsible for the real owner, my fourth uncle specially warned me.

, let me check it carefully before returning it to the owner. Village Chief Ma, could you please let Ma Yi tell me what is in his wallet."

These words were indeed reasonable. Although Ma Shun was depressed, he had no choice but to call Ma Yi.

Ma Yi remembered the contents of the purse very clearly. Although the number of copper coins was slightly different, there was no problem with the large number. Besides, there were also a few pieces of silver, which matched the size and shape Ma Yi said.
