"There is a shortcut from where I just came out, but the road is not easy to walk on. Zhang Lei, there may be bumps along the way. If you feel pain, just call out. There will be no one anyway."
"Well, no, I won't scream. What if Li Bohua finds us?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Don't worry, Li Bohua is not my opponent."
"No, for safety reasons, I won't bark, just pull it!"
"All right!"
...
Li Bohua returned the same way, humming a little tune along the way, and was very happy.
"I don't know if Zhang Lei is dead, um, but I think it's almost the same, haha..."
Li Bohua proudly took out the water bag from his bag and took a swig.
...
In the center of the square outside the dark valley, the head of the Hua family, Hua Si, led a group of elders and stood waiting quietly.
Ma Mu led Ma Yuan and Ma Cheng to walk slowly, saw everyone in the Hua family, and asked: "Hua family head, today is the first day, will anyone come out?"
Hua Si grinned and said: "Yes~"
Ma Yuan blinked and said, "Is it possible that you know?"
Hua Si nodded: "This dark valley was actually not finished by the ancestors of my Ma family and Hua family. Of course, there are also some mechanisms arranged in it. Why, in fact, it is all because of the Huancai Stone. To be honest, this Huancai Stone
If you sell it outside, a small grain can carry a thousand kilograms of grain."
"So valuable?"
"Yeah, but if it's a war, it might not be valuable. As the saying goes, you play with jewelry in peace and prosperity, but you eat food in a war..."
"Then, are all my children in danger?"
Hua Si shook his head: "I don't know."
Ma Mu exhaled and glared at Ma Yuan and Ma Cheng with some resentment. The latter two looked at each other with expressions of embarrassment and guilt.
"Someone is coming out..."
The horse mother was stunned, immediately raised her head, stood on tiptoes and looked forward.
...
Li Bohua walked slowly and energetically, holding a fist-sized radiant stone in his hand.
Although there was a lot of dust on his body and streaks on his face, judging from his expression, he was very proud.
Walking to Hua Si, Li Bohua respectfully presented the brilliant stone: "Master, I, Li Bohua, have fulfilled my mission and completed this competition."
"Where is my son? Where is my son?" Ma Mu rushed forward and grabbed Li Bohua's hand and asked.
Li Bohua frowned and said, "Auntie, when I found the Huancai Stone, I didn't see Ma Xiaoquan. I heard from several other people that Ma Xiaoquan fell into a bottomless pit and his life or death is unknown."
"What?" Ma Mu took a step back and collapsed to the ground with a thud. Ma Yuan and Ma Cheng quickly stepped forward to help their mother up.
"No, Quan'er can't die, Quan'er can't die..." Ma Mu grabbed Ma Yuan and Ma Cheng's arms like crazy and shouted, "Yuan'er Cheng'er, you two are now
Just go, no matter where Quan'er is, you must find him. If you want to see him alive, you want to see his body, and if you die, you want to see his body..."
"Yes, mother!" Ma Yuan and Ma Cheng nodded.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Why do you want to see dead people and corpses? Mom, the child is alive..."
Everyone in the field was stunned, especially Li Bohua. He looked towards the entrance of the dark valley in horror and saw a man wearing tattered clothes, pulling a stretcher and slowly walking towards the center of the field.
Li Bohua's back felt extremely cold for a moment, because he saw the man on the stretcher, it was Zhang Lei.
...
Ma Yuan and Ma Cheng hurriedly ran over, confirming that the person coming was their fourth brother. When they ran closer, they saw that it was the fourth brother. Ma Yuan and Ma Cheng hugged Ma Xiaoquan happily.
"You kid, I knew you wouldn't die. Damn you..." Ma Yuan cursed.
"Second brother..." Ma Cheng winked at Ma Yuan, who quickly stuck out his tongue.
"Hey, second brother and third brother, didn't I say that I won't die? Your fourth brother is destined to be lucky, hehe..."
"Okay, okay~ You are indeed the second son of my Ma family! Let's go, let's go to the center of the field, my mother is waiting impatiently."
"Wait a minute, second brother and third brother, help me find a doctor first. This guy's hand and hamstrings were severed and he is in urgent need of a doctor."
Ma Yuan glanced at the stretcher and asked, "Isn't this the guy who doesn't quite match up with you? Why is it like this?"
"Haha, it's a long story~"
Zhang Lei suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Ma Xiaoquan, don't send me to see the doctor yet..."
"Huh? What? What else do you want to do?"
Zhang Lei gritted his teeth and said: "Ma Xiaoquan, Li Bohua found the Huancai Stone before you. According to the rules, he is indeed the uncle of the Hua family. However, the Hua family elder said that there is only one uncle. Do you understand what I am going to say?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "You want me to kill him? I'm afraid that's not good, right? I have no grievances with him. If I kill him like this, what will his family do to seek revenge from me? Otherwise, you come and kill him!"
"Me? How can I be killed when I'm like this?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Don't you have a mouth? You are holding a knife in your mouth. I will catch him for you, and you can kill him."
Zhang Lei was stunned: "Are you serious?"
"Of course, you can just say whether you want to do it or not. Anyway, if you don't do it, in fact, I will still be the uncle in the end. I have other ways to prevent Li Bohua from becoming the uncle, but he made you like this. Your hatred can't be
I can’t repay it.”
Zhang Lei gritted his teeth. He knew very well that Ma Xiaoquan was tempting him, but if he missed this opportunity, it would really be gone.
"I did it!"
"Okay~~" Ma Xiaoquan winked at Ma Yuan and Ma Cheng. The two brothers chuckled and helped Ma Xiaoquan lift the stretcher and walked towards the center of the field.
...
"Mom..." Ma Xiaoquan walked up to Ma Mu and knelt on the ground with a thump, "Mother is worried, the baby is fine."
The horse mother bit her lip and tears flowed out involuntarily.
"Good son, my good son, just come back, just come back! Get up quickly."
"Hmm~"
Li Bohua glared at Ma Xiaoquan and said impatiently: "Master of the Hua family, I was the first to come, and I also brought back the Huancai Stone. I should be the uncle of the Hua family."
"You fart!" Zhang Lei suddenly yelled, "Li Bohua, you killed everyone else, you killed them all."
Li Bohua smiled slightly and said: "Zhang Lei, what you did was obviously caused by the mechanism in the dark valley. They were also harmed by the mechanism. How can you blame me? Besides, Ma Xiaoquan pulled you out, and he also had
