Chapter 6: I obey the master. "No matter what, I still have to ask the master to promise me to forgive small sins." Ma Changfa was still kneeling.
"Oh, you still dare to negotiate terms with me? What a shame!" Ke Han thought to himself, this guy is really capable. He can climb up a tree after successfully escorting a driver? That's fine, so he waved his hand impatiently and agreed.
Ma Changfa’s request
Only then did Ke Han have time to take a closer look at the masked man who had taken off his veil. As expected, his face was straight at the end of his nose, his sharp eyebrows slightly raised. He sighed in his heart: He looks pretty handsome, and he is not much different from me. Haha.
, it’s a pity that the murderous intention is a bit too strong!
The man kept biting his lips and glared at Ke Han
"Sir! This person is the fifth junior brother who practices martial arts with Taoist Master Huairu in Longtoushan. The big one..." Ma Changfa started to introduce the masked man, but he was interrupted just as he was about to speak.
Got it
"Bah! You ungrateful thing, who is your junior brother? Don't tarnish the reputation of our Longtoushan Taoism!" Before the man was released, he was being held up and stood next to Ma Changfa. He was fierce
Di spat in Ma Changfa's face.
Ma Changfa seemed to feel guilty. He remained still and allowed the saliva to drip from his eyebrows.
"Haha, it turns out he is a martial arts master, a master! I'm so glad to meet you!!" Ke Han laughed, then let go of Xiu'er's hand, walked straight to Ma Changfa, and reached out to wipe Ma Changfa's face.
spit
Everyone, including the masked man whose veil was taken off, was very surprised and stared blankly.
Ma Changfa was as motionless as a child. Just after Ke Han wiped away his saliva, he burst into tears and began to sob.
Ma Changfa was crying here. Ke Han looked at him and smiled, but others looked at him in a daze.
For a moment, everything here seemed to be still. The guards who often secretly called Ke Han a "bastard" couldn't believe their eyes. Some people still laughed and scolded Ke Han in their hearts: I'm afraid this guy ate the wrong food today.
Got the medicine?
Indeed, how could they know that Ke Han wanted to use this opportunity to conquer every talent he thought was available! He clearly understood that if he wanted to be a good official in this strange place, hey, even if he was a corrupt official
, there is still an urgent need for some confidants or bodyguards. From the dangerous situation just now, we can see that Ma Changfa is loyal and courageous, and his kung fu is extraordinary. He should be one of them! As for the masked man - Ma Changfa's junior brother,
Try your best to fight for it, tame it, and take it under your banner. It shouldn't be too difficult!
"Hey, I obey you!" Ke Han's heart boiled with enthusiasm. From Ma Changfa's tears, Ke Han saw hope. He knew that Ma Changfa had been completely moved by his actions. Go ahead and strike while the iron is hot!
"Master!" Ma Changfa shook his head mockingly, choking for a moment.
"Well, Ma Changfa, Ma Changfa, I'm so wronged by you! I've been with you for so long and I haven't benefited at all, but I've caused a lot of controversy and been misunderstood by others! If there's any good way to make a living, you'll do your best.
Okay..." Ke Han paused deliberately. He lightly wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand, glanced at everyone from the corner of his eye, and then tried to squeeze out two tears. Then he sighed and said, "You can do it too.
Leave me! Don’t suffer this crime again! As for this hero, I respect your request and let him go!——"
"..." Everyone was speechless and stared blankly.
"My fifth junior brother Hu Songming apologized to the master for his kindness to Ma. I will never forget the 'sword'! In this life, I will stay in front of the saddle and behind the horse, fulfill my duties for the master, and do the work of the dog and horse!" Ma Changfa said.
I swore loudly with tears of gratitude.
The untied Hu Songming, Ma Changfa's junior brother, looked at Ke Han blankly, and then looked at Ma Changfa in confusion, seeming to be a little unwilling, and then he let out a long sigh and took long strides without looking back.
Gone under the moonlight
When Master He saw that Hu Songming had gone far away, he approached Ke Han and said, seemingly complaining: "Oh, sir, aren't you letting the tiger go back to the mountain? This kind of person has no loyalty at all!"
Ke Han didn't say anything. He lifted up his sleeves, shook them up, rolled them up again, and then shook them hard. Then, he approached Ma Changfa, patted his shoulder lightly, turned around, and suddenly remembered Ge You's words.
In just one sentence, he said to Master He: "Believe in the masses!"
Seeing him like this, everyone seemed annoyed and stopped talking.
"You all should disperse. My Xiu'er has been frightened a lot. It's time to rest now." Ke Han ordered everyone in an unquestionable tone. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the performance of this group of people.
At this time, everyone was still staring at Master He, just waiting for his statement.
When Ke Han saw it, he became even more annoyed. He flicked his sleeves angrily and said simply: "That Ma Changfa, you and I will tidy up this study together. Master, I really can't sleep for a while."
, you stay and chat with the master for a while, eh, your junior brother caused this matter, of course you have to bear it!"
"If something happens to me, I just need to give you an order." Seeing Ke Han acting like this, Master He didn't dare to say anything more, and then waved his hand, saying that he had to leave two servants anyway, and he blamed himself again and again, saying
Why did I forget to pay attention to the safety of my master?
Those government officials were so respectful that they bowed and left one by one.
Xiu'er was really frightened and couldn't recover for a while. She lay in Ke Han's arms and trembled.
Ke Han called over the servants and maids who were also frightened, and helped Xiu'er into the bedroom. He wanted to send away the two servants who stayed behind, so he ordered: "Go and ask a doctor to come over and take Madam's pulse."
be quick!"
Ma Changfa seemed a little apologetic, and was about to go find the doctor by himself, but Ke Han stopped him and said: "This place is in such a mess, do you want me to clean it up slowly by myself?"
Ma Changfa shyly scratched his head, rolled up his sleeves, and got busy
After a while, the scattered household items were put away again, leaving only the broken window that could not be repaired for a while.
Ma Changfa was worrying about this matter, but Ke Han dusted himself off and told Ma Changfa that he could just wait until dawn to find a carpenter to fix the matter. Then, he asked Ma Changfa to help him put several chairs together.
This was originally the bed that Ke Han had been planning to put together for him, but Ma Changfa seemed to be very touched and a little flattered. He was afraid that he was being sentimental, so he asked pretending to be confused: "Master, is this...?"
Ke Han chuckled, fearing that he had revealed the secret. How embarrassing it would be for a county magistrate to be unable to sleep with his newlywed wife! However, thanks to his quick thinking, he had an idea in just a moment and returned the favor.
By the way, he sold himself a favor and said with a smile: "Today I will treat it as giving you a chance to make atonement for your sins. I will just stay with you. Hey, it's all thanks to your unsatisfactory junior brother!"
Ma Changfa felt very guilty and was about to kneel down to apologize again. Ke Han had sharp eyes and hurried over with a look of pity. He grabbed Ma Changfa's arm and helped him up.
"Master!" Ma Changfa was almost sobbing. He was so excited that he didn't care what he said. He really regarded Ke Han as a close friend. He said repeatedly, "I, Ma Changfa, am ashamed of my kindness to you! In fact, I also
You know, beneath the master's bright and even confused appearance, there is more loneliness and..."
Ma Changfa really couldn't think of anything new to say. After seeing Ke Han's expectant eyes, he stopped his momentum and regretted his outspokenness.
"Go on!" Ke Han waited with a smile on his face. He wanted to know why Ma Changfa was different from others but was willing to follow a weak official like himself. "Ma Changfa, sir, what do I do to you?"
Ma Changfa trembled. He had a grudge in his heart, but when he saw Ke Han smiling, he still relaxed with some reservations and continued: "The master treats me well. I still remember the scene when I was taken in by the master.
"
While Ke Han gave Ma Changfa a seat and tea, he sipped the tea brewed by the maid and listened carefully to Ma Changfa's story. His rare and approachable appearance really influenced Ma Changfa.
Under Ke Han's persuasion, Ma Changfa actually recalled the scene when he submitted to Ke Han to show that he was unforgettable.
Only then did Ke Han learn that Ma Changfa was originally the son of a pastry processor in Ziyang County, a neighboring county. His father originally hoped that he could take the exam and bring glory to the Ma family! Unfortunately, he was restless by nature, and in school
He can't sit still for a moment, but he likes to dance with sticks and fists, which often makes chickens and dogs restless.
No matter what, when he was six years old, his father sent him to Longtoushan to practice martial arts with the judo master. His original intention was just to hope that he would not get into trouble. As for his future, at least there would be a pastry shop for him to inherit.
Unexpectedly, this study lasted for ten years. During this period, despite the strict discipline of Taoist Master Huairu, he still committed many crimes.
Once, he stole the bone-strengthening pills that the Taoist Master was still refining, hid in the stove and swallowed two pills. At that time, he felt bloated and dizzy, which frightened him out of his wits. He tried to save himself, but it had the opposite effect.
Fortunately, the Taoist priest found out in time. Although he was very angry, he sighed and said to himself: This is God's will! Then he cast a spell to save him.
Later, I heard from my brothers that he secretly took the master's magical elixir and received three additional levels of skills from the master. So much so that he had true energy to protect his body and his skills increased by three levels out of thin air! Just because of his skills.
After gaining three additional levels, he also had a good temper and seemed to be out of tune with his brothers. Finally, when he bullied a junior fellow student again, he caused public outrage and was expelled from Longtou Mountain by the Taoist Master of Huaju.
When I first came down from the mountain, because I had no money and no face to go home, I wandered around.
That time, I was so hungry that I had no choice but to reach out and steal a piece of cake from the sesame cake stall. Just as I was about to bite it, I was discovered. Unfortunately, even though I had martial arts skills, I was beaten with sticks because I was hungry. Fortunately, the master
He was a messenger sent from heaven. He kept everyone drunk and paid back the cake money for Ma Chang...
"What a pitiful man! From then on, I found a job with the master and was able to live in peace!" Recalling the past, Ma Changfa was still filled with emotion. "Being able to serve the master in front of and behind the saddle is my Ma Changfa's blessing!"
"Uh, Chang Fa, you're speaking too harshly!" Ke Han also spoke in a more intimate tone. In order to close the distance with Ma Chang Fa, he said with pity, "It's been so long and you haven't come home to see me? My parents always think so.
He loves his own children the most!..."
Ke Han didn't say anything, but once he said this, Ma Changfa became sad. He actually sobbed in front of Ke Han, and he couldn't even speak so fluently.
Ke Han still roughly knew the whole story. It turned out that after Ma Changfa's father found out that he was following the magistrate of Huai County, he cursed him and never wanted to recognize his son again no matter what.
Damn it! How could I, the county magistrate, be such a failure? Knowing this, Ke Han was silent for a long time, and he and Ma Changfa lay on the bed in separate clothes.
That night, like Ma Changfa, he had insomnia
