Chapter 24 Chapter 23: Dishonest and Honest Man

Tie Zhentian's throw was already his last blow, life and death depended on this blow, he was determined to die.But he didn't die, because he didn't rush at all.This time it was Ma Rulong who pulled his belt. Master Jue had planned to meet him, but he didn't.With laughter, the green mist drifted away, his movements suddenly stopped, and a strange expression suddenly appeared on his expressionless face.Then he could no longer see Tie Zhentian. This burst of green mist seemed to be blown out of the devil's mouth.The small courtyard was suddenly enveloped, and nothing could be seen except this fog.At this time Ma Rulong had already brought Tie Zhentian back to his grocery store.

Master Jue and the others couldn't see anything, and of course Ma Rulong couldn't see anything either.But after all, he has been living here for several months, and Tao Baoyi's family has also visited.He didn't have as many scruples as Grandmaster Jue and the others, he was not afraid of being plotted against, nor was he afraid of being hit on the head.A person who is already prepared to die, what is there to be afraid of?So he goes back to his grocery store. People who go to bed early usually also wake up early.The neighborhood is full of people who go to bed early and get up early. Usually, at this time, the grocery store is already open.

Today is an exception.Ma Rulong led Tie Zhentian, walked around a narrow alley to the back of the grocery store, and jumped in from the back wall. Tie Zhentian looked very weak. Although he didn't hit the blow just now, he had released all his strength.Ma Rulong pulled him away, he had no choice but to follow, but he did not forget his brother.Although Tie Quanyi is not his biological brother, they have lived and died together for many years.There was already a feeling between them that was thicker than blood. "I can't keep him here." Tie Zhentian said, "We must go back and bring him out." Now it's too late to go back.

"What they want is not him, but you." Ma Rulong said, "You haven't fallen into their hands yet, they will never deal with him." The layout of the backyard of this grocery store is also similar to that of the Tao family, except that there is one less well and one more room.The house where Zhang Laoshi lives.The door of the room was open, and Zhang Laoshi was not in the room, nor in the kitchen.Xie Yubao was there, as if she had really fallen asleep, Ma Rulong pushed the door quietly and went in without disturbing her. He asked Tie Zhentian to sit down on the old bamboo chair he usually sat on, and went to the front to pick up a bucket of salt and a basket of raw eggs - Zhang Laoshi was not in the store either.

After swallowing a large handful of salt and two raw eggs, Tie Zhencai asked, "Is this your grocery store?" "Ok." "Who is this woman on the bed?" Tie Zhentian asked again: "Is it your wife?" Ma Rulong couldn't answer.He didn't want to lie to Tie Zhentian, but he didn't know whether he should admit it?It should still be denied.He didn't know what to say at all. Tie Zhentian didn't ask any more questions, and suddenly sighed. "You shouldn't have brought me back here, absolutely not." "I must bring you back here."

"why?" Ma Rulong said: "Because there is someone here who might be able to heal your injury." Tie Zhentian's eyes lit up.He couldn't help being excited, as long as someone could heal his injury, he would be sure to be able to deal with Master Jue.It is because he has always been too confident and sure of himself, that's why he will use his palm strength to fight recklessly with Master Jue.But now he won't make the same mistake again. "Who can heal my wound?" He was about to ask this question, but Xie Yubao, who had been asleep all this time, suddenly said, "You really shouldn't bring him back, because there is no one here who can heal my injury." Heal his wounds, no one can heal his wounds except those from the Xie family."

"But you..." Xie Yubao suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him. "I'm not from the Xie family, I'm just the proprietress of this grocery store." Still the same words, same meaning.She knew that this was her only chance to force Ma Rulong to tell the truth, so of course she refused to give up.Tie Zhentian stood up suddenly, and swallowed a handful of salt and two eggs. "I'm leaving." He really wanted to leave. He has been in the rivers and lakes for twenty years, of course he has seen that there must be something hidden in it, and he doesn't want to embarrass Ma Rulong.

Xie Yubao didn't let Ma Rulong speak, and rushed to say: "You should have left long ago." Unexpectedly, Tie Zhentian sat down again! "I can't go." "why?" The person who asked the question was Xie Yubao, but Tie Zhentian's answer was to Ma Rulong. "I'll stay here, and when they come to you, I can help you fight them." "Looking for me?" Ma Rulong asked, "They will come looking for me!" "The first person they're looking for now is you." Ma Rulong didn't understand.Tie Zhentian sighed again: "You really think they don't believe what you said?"

Ma Rulong said: "You think they believe it!" Tie Zhentian said: "I absolutely believe it." Ma Rulong said: "Why don't they admit it?" Tie Zhentian said: "Because if they admit that you are telling the truth and that you are Ma Rulong, they will have to let me go." He sneered: "Since we are all under their control and no one can escape, why do they You have to admit it, why did you let me go?" Ma Rulong was stunned.Now he doesn't want to laugh anymore, and now he knows that the treachery of people in the world is beyond what he can imagine.Xie Yubao had been staring at him, and suddenly struggled to sit up.

"Are you Ma Rulong?" Her voice was hoarse: "Are you that sinister and vicious Ma Rulong who does all kinds of evil?" Ma Rulong only felt a sudden surge of energy in his chest, which was blood energy and anger. "Yes, I am Ma Rulong." His voice was also hoarse: "I am the Ma Rulong who did all kinds of evil." Tie Zhentian was stunned. In recent years, there have been few things in the world that can shock him, but this woman should be Ma Rulong's wife, why didn't he know that Ma Rulong was Ma Rulong? Xie Yubao seemed to be stunned too, and after a long time, he sighed: "You are not that Ma Rulong."

"I'm." "You are not, absolutely not." Xie Yubao said: "That Ma Rulong is sinister and vicious, he can do anything." Her voice suddenly became gentle again: "But I have been with you for three months and twenty-one days , I can see that you are by no means a bad person." Ma Rulong didn't speak.He could not speak, his throat seemed to be blocked.Now he is used to being insulted and wronged by others, and the sympathy and understanding of others makes him uncomfortable. At this moment, there was a voice from the grocery store in front, Zhang Laoshi's voice.Ma Rulong seemed unwilling to face Xie Yubao again, so he rushed out immediately, and Zhang Laoshi was indeed in the store, sorting out the groceries, as if preparing to open the store. Ma Rulong stared at him: "You are back." "I haven't come back." Zhang honestly said: "I haven't been out at all, how come back!" He really never went out?Just now he was obviously not in the house, nor in the kitchen, and there was no one else in the shop. Zhang honestly said, "Just now I was in the latrine." He didn't go to the latrine just now, and when he needed to go, he always locked the door of the latrine from the inside.The door of the hut was locked from the outside just now. Ma Rulong has learned to pay attention to these small things, because he already knows that many big things can be seen from small things.He suddenly realized that this honest man was also very dishonest.
