The three people in front of them didn't seem to be in a hurry to force Ma Xiaoquan into a corner. They looked at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
"Young man is very skilled~ But, if you meet our three brothers today, your life may be in your hands here. Tell me, if you have any last words for your family, I can bring them to you."
The man smiled ferociously, playing with the dagger in his hand, and said calmly.
Ma Xiaoquan stood up, looked at his torn pants, and frowned.
At this time, he suddenly regretted that he had forced space travel during his previous two missions, which prevented him from fully using his current abilities.
But soon, Ma Xiaoquan calmed down. The top priority could not be solved by regret. He quickly looked around the bungalow, hoping to find a place to break out. Unfortunately, except for the door opening and window, there was no other way to escape.
choose.
"What? Are you thinking about how to escape?" The short man laughed, "To tell you the truth, you are not the first person to die in this bungalow, and you will not be the last one."
When the short man finished speaking, the two companions beside him started laughing, their laughter extremely unrestrained.
Ma Xiaoquan grabbed a corner of the chest of drawers angrily and pushed hard, causing the chest of drawers to fall over.
With a "crash", the chest of drawers shattered into pieces. It was so fragile that Ma Xiaoquan couldn't believe it.
What surprised Ma Xiaoquan even more was that a bright yellow gold bar fell out of the broken chest of drawers.
"I'll go!" Ma Xiaoquan waited with wide eyes. Only then did he realize why these three people wanted to kill him. It turned out that this bungalow and this chest of drawers were where they hid their stolen goods.
"Boy, you're looking for death!" The short man's eyes instantly turned red. He pulled out his dagger and stabbed Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan frowned, subconsciously picked up a piece of gold bar and threw it at the short man's face. With a bang, the gold bar hit the bridge of the man's nose. The next moment, nosebleeds spurted out.
Ma Xiaoquan grinned, picked up a few more gold bars, and threw them out.
People die for money. These gold bars were obtained by these three people who were seeking money and killing people. Now this brat was throwing the life money of the three buddies everywhere. They were all anxious and could not think about killing Ma Xiaoquan anymore. They all turned around.
Heading out to find gold bars.
Ma Xiaoquan kept doing this and crushed the chest of drawers with his feet. Only then did he realize that there were not only gold bars, but also a lot of money. Of course, there were no hundred dollar bills in the early 1980s, and the largest commonly used banknote was ten yuan.
However, people in this era generally have low wages and low prices. For example, Uncle Zhao's monthly salary is only about 45 yuan. With various subsidies, it may exceed 70 yuan, but it is enough to support a family of three.
Ma Xiaoquan did not hesitate, grabbed a wad of ten-dollar bills and threw them into the air.
"Boy, I c~~n~~~m~~" the three men roared almost in unison.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't care about this. He smiled, grabbed a handful of money and threw it into the air.
The three men were completely crazy, so while they were grabbing money everywhere, Ma Xiaoquan cleverly slipped out from behind them.
With a "bang" sound, Ma Xiaoquan rushed out of the door.
The three men were startled by the slamming of the door, and then realized that Ma Xiaoquan had run away.
"Brother, do you want to pursue me?" the tall man asked.
"Chasing her mother's ass~" the short man spat, and the spit stuck to a ten-dollar bill. He felt distressed and quickly wiped the spit off the bill with his sleeves, and said bitterly: "This matter
It’s not over yet, first collect all the money and gold bars, then move to another place, wait for the right opportunity, find that kid, and kill him!”
"good!"
...
Ma Xiaoquan ran for more than ten minutes at a stretch. He didn't stop until he felt it was safe.
Being young is good. A seventeen-year-old body has unlimited energy. Although he was out of breath, he soon calmed down.
After patting the dust on his body, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly found a banknote stuck to his clothes. There was a trace of wax liquid on the banknote, but it had solidified. Thinking about it carefully, it should be the moment when he pulled the chest of drawers, the candle on the chest fell.
Next, the wax liquid splashed on the money, and the money stuck to his body.
Ma Xiaoquan gently peeled off the money, took off the solidified wax beads on the money, opened it and took a closer look, and was happy.
"Here I go, this ten-dollar bill is the 'Big Black Ten', it's been paid out~" Ma Xiaoquan carefully collected the October banknotes, and he began to think about how to get the big black ten after the task was completed.
I sold it on the market and made hundreds of thousands of dollars at once, which makes me feel so happy just thinking about it.
"Those three people must have remembered me today. I may have to be more careful in the future." Ma Xiaoquan put away his pride and narrowed his eyes slightly. He raised his right hand and looked carefully. There seemed to be nothing unusual. Forget it, let's go first.
Let’s talk about it when we get back.
...
When we returned to Lantian Community, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Ma Xiaoquan did not go upstairs. He was thinking about how to cover up his lie. After all, when he went out, the tablet disappeared and nothing was done. If he went back empty-handed, he would definitely be interrogated to death by Zhao Minglan.
At this moment, Ma Xiaoquan saw Uncle Zhao walking slowly not far away.
He was stunned, rubbed his eyes and looked again, yes, it was Uncle Zhao.
Uncle Zhao walked very slowly, and there was a person following him. This person was none other than his father, Ma Liehuo. Well, it should be said that his father was only nineteen years old at this time.
Ma Xiaoquan hurried forward to greet him. When Ma Liehuo saw Ma Xiaoquan, he smiled and said, "Xiaohu, are you quite well-informed?"
Although Ma Xiaoquan didn't know how Uncle Zhao got out, looking at Uncle Zhao's appearance, it seemed that he had not suffered much after being locked up for the past few days.
"Well, I got the news not long ago!" Ma Xiaoquan prevaricated Ma Liehuo and turned to ask Uncle Zhao, "Uncle Zhao, are you okay?"
Uncle Zhao smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying anything.
Ma Liehuo took the conversation and said: "It's okay, it's okay, but I have to suspend my duties for a while."
"What is the situation, what is the reason, is it so serious?" Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be surprised. He actually knew the reason, but he couldn't say it. Not only could he not say it, he had to act like he knew nothing.
"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's talk about it at your house." Ma Liehuo patted Ma Xiaoquan on the shoulder.
"OK!"
...
After going up to the Tongzi Tower, Ma Xiaoquan gently knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A somewhat unfamiliar female voice came from the room.
Ma Xiaoquan exclaimed and said to himself, "Are there guests at home?"
He cleared his throat and responded: "I, Xiaohu!"
About ten seconds later, the door clicked open, and it was a beautiful-looking woman who opened the door.
Seeing this woman, Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Mom...Mom...it turns out to be Yuan Lan...Sister Lan..."
." In just one sentence, Ma Xiaoquan was sweating profusely.
It's not his fault, because the woman in front of him is none other than Yuan Lan, Ma Xiaoquan's mother, well, her mother when she was young.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan hesitating, Yuan Lan chuckled and said, "Xiaohu, long time no see, eh? Did you come back with your cousin? That's great~" Yuan Lan happily turned around and shouted, "Cousin, Lan Lan, cousin
Come back, cousin is back!"
As soon as Yuan Lan finished speaking, the door to the back room opened with a bang. Aunt Hong and Zhao Minglan, mother and daughter, rushed out with red eyes. When they saw Uncle Zhao, they couldn't help but throw themselves into his arms and started crying.
While Uncle Zhao comforted his wife and daughter, he smiled awkwardly at Ma Xiaoquan and the others.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, thinking that it would be good if Uncle Zhao came back, and we would learn more about the suspension gradually. He turned to look at Ma Liehuo, and found that this guy had his mouth open, staring at Yuan Lan blankly.
"Hey~~" Ma Xiaoquan poked Ma Liehuo, who came to his senses and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Ma Xiaoquan felt happy, thinking that his father saw his mother acting like this, haha...
Yuan Lan was quite normal. She had paid attention to Ma Liehuo during the basketball game between the employees of the riveting factory and the textile factory. Although the young man was good-looking and energetic, she didn't think much about it. After all, she was someone who had a partner.
Aunt Hong wiped away her tears and smoothed her hair from her forehead in embarrassment. She broke away from Uncle Zhao's arms, rubbed her hands and said, "Come in, come in!"
...
After several people entered the house, Zhao Minglan hurriedly poured water for Ma Liehuo.
Aunt Hong put on her apron and said that she had given the food she had cooked in the morning to the neighbor downstairs because she thought Uncle Zhao would not come back. Now that Uncle Zhao is back, she would cook again and let him eat and drink.
Ma Xiaoquan pressed Aunt Hong on the stool and said with a smile: "Aunt Hong, I will take care of the cooking. You should have a good chat with Uncle Zhao."
Yuan Lan saw Ma Xiaoquan taking the apron from Aunt Hong's hand and said in surprise: "Xiaohu, can you cook?"
Before Ma Xiaoquan opened his mouth, Zhao Minglan interrupted: "This boy's cooking is delicious!"
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Zhao Minglan, "What do you mean, what are you saying?"
Zhao Minglan made a demonstration gesture towards Ma Xiaoquan, seemingly not afraid of Ma Xiaoquan's eyes at all.
Yuan Lan smiled and said: "In this case, I will give you a hand."
When he heard that Yuan Lan wanted to strike, Ma Xiaoquan was about to agree, but Ma Liehuo interrupted again: "I, I will strike for you too!"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Ma Liehuo and almost laughed out loud, because Ma Liehuo looked very reserved at this time, as if he was a young daughter-in-law.
"Can you chop vegetables?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
"Won't!"
"Then you always wash rice, right?"
"Uh, how do you wash rice?" Ma Liehuo asked.
Ma Xiaoquan had a black line on his face: "Go, go, stay, just don't cause any trouble for me."
"Ah? Oh~~" Ma Liehuo was very reluctant, but he was really not good at cooking.
Ma Xiaoquan saw Ma Liehuo's reluctance and said with a smile: "As you can see, Uncle Zhao's house is not as big as yours. The kitchen is very small. Sister Yuan Lan and I can't even stand and turn around. If you say you're going to strike, how can you strike?"
"Well, you have to give me something to do, right?"
"this......"
Yuan Lan hummed and said: "Well, the vinegar is gone. Why don't you hold the bottle and pour us a bottle of vinegar? Here~ here are two cents, here you go!"
Ma Liehuo took the vinegar bottle, but he didn't take the two cents. He patted his chest and said, "No, no, no, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it!" With that, he ran out the door.
Yuan Lan said worriedly: "Slow down, be careful!"
Ma Liehuo was stunned for a moment, turned around, took a standard military posture, and then said loudly: "Promise to complete the mission!"
