Chapter 12: The Two Bandits

  That day, on the other side of Niutou Mountain, Ma Dahu also saw countless things like white clouds floating down from above their heads. Unfortunately, it was true that "looking at the mountain and running to death". Those floating "clouds" seemed to be right in front of him, but not one floated onto his own mountain. When he sent his men to search, they all came back saying there was nothing. What's the point of saying there's nothing? Dammit, with this kind of ghostly thing happening, how could those cowards under him dare to charge forward? Unless a big ingot of silver was thrown in front of them, otherwise forget about it.

  Forget it, in fact, he himself didn't even believe that he was hugging the newly snatched Zhen's wife, sitting in Wangfeng Pavilion drinking wine, occasionally his eyes would wander, just let them wander, and treat everything as fleeting clouds.

  But what surprised him was that Long Xiao Tian brought people to break in the next day.

  "Damn it, what's he doing here? Ma Da Hu Zi looked at the teacher with a worried expression, muttering to himself in his heart. This Long Xiao Tian seems to be born to be his arch-nemesis. First, he abandoned his studies and went to become a soldier. He didn't even do that properly, and within two years, he brought a gun and ran to Niutou Mountain, gathering a group of people with him. Damn it, relying on the few years of education and two years of military service, he has a young face, and in the blink of an eye, he's caught up with me, often snatching food from my hands. Not only did he take over a mountain stronghold that I let go of, but he also wants to snatch away the bride I've set my sights on. The moment I sent out the betrothal gift, he immediately followed up with his own proposal. Damn it, if it weren't for me working hard all these years to gather more followers and outnumber him, he would have probably devoured me whole by now, leaving not even a single bone fragment behind."

  It's worth noting that this demon head rarely takes the initiative to come and pay respects, so we should give him some face.

  Ma's face piled up with a mountain monkey-like smile, and in the dark, he set up more than ten quick guns. Only then did he come to the gate with a loud laugh, looking at Long Xiao Tian with an unsettled mind.

  That German, Wilhelm from Tianjin, is still living there, right? He took away more than half of the five cannons and said that he would soon transport three hundred rifles and a large batch of bullets. Is he saying that these guns and bullets all belong to him now? Damn it, if that's really the case, I'll have no choice but to turn against him and see how he can protect those German devils from digging up treasures all over Niutou Mountain. Damn it, this is really strange, I've lived here for decades and never heard anyone say that there were treasures buried under our feet. No wonder those foreigners all have green eyes, they look at things in a way that's different from us.

  Long Xiao Tian glanced at the woman leaning on Wang Feng Ting from afar and coldly said to Ma Da Hu Zi who came up, "Enjoy it while you can, patriarch. If you can enjoy it, hurry up and enjoy it. Otherwise, your head will be cut off before you know it."

  Ma's mustache drooped instantly, "You damn it, my woman is younger than you and uglier than you. Don't call out to me here. I'm very clear, as long as you don't have any ideas, my head will be fine on my own shoulders."

  The dragon let out a mighty roar, sniffing the air exaggeratedly as it looked around: "So many living people's smells, now they're almost making this small Cow Head Mountain stinky, and only you, this stupid goods, can't smell it."

  "Stranger, where did this stranger come from?" Ma Dahu was extremely sensitive to this question and followed closely with a tense expression. If there were strangers, they must have also been let in from their side. Since the day of occupying the mountain, he had not only given a strict order but also spent a lot of money to give each person guarding the roads a big bowl of braised pork every day.

  "Take a look at this," Long Xiangtian said, handing Ma Dahuzi something, his eyes full of disdain. "I reckon you country bumpkin won't even know what it is no matter how hard you rack your brains."

  Ma Da Hu Zi looked at it for half a day and shouted in frustration: "Damn it, what the hell is this thing!"

  "I don't know," Long Xiaotian said, retrieving the object and narrowing his eyes to re-examine it, "but I can be sure that this thing is not an ordinary object, and I also smell a killing aura on it."

  "What the hell is that?" Ma Dashu's eyes widened, and he refocused his gaze on the thing. This thing looked both delicate and exquisite, emitting a blue glow all over its body, like a mechanical bird. Of course, it definitely wasn't something from our country; we didn't have the skills to make something like this. Could it be one of those German toys, some kind of rare treasure that would make his eyes pop out?

  "What's that, something about William?" Ma Dashu asked.

  "Look," Long Xiao Tian stared at the thing in his hand, lost in thought. "William didn't recognize it either, but he wanted to take it back to Germany for further study."

  "Alright, give it to him then, and tell me about it later." Ma Dashu suddenly relaxed.

  "So you're a fool for life." Long Xiao Tian suddenly became angry and put the thing into his bosom, looking around and saying: "It's because of this that I have to come personally to tell you, you dim-witted master, to be more careful these days and to get your brothers to be on high alert. I'm not afraid of being laughed at, since seeing this thing my back has been getting chills. I can confirm that this thing is aimed at me. Now, I feel like every day there's someone staring at me from behind, but when I turn around, I don't see anyone."

  Ma Dashu felt uncomfortable all over, opened his mouth to laugh, but it was dry. He stretched out his hand to touch the box of guns on his waist and suddenly reacted. "Hey, Dragon's family, how did you get this thing? You didn't pick it up from the mountain, did you?"

  "It is," Long Xiao Tian suddenly stared at him and said, "and it was picked up in your territory."

  Damn it. Ma's big beard almost had a fit, you picked up my things in our territory and ran to our place to show off your power, damn it, do you think you're the former emperor or warlord?

  The dragon sneered at the sky and glanced at Ma's big beard, saying in a light tone, "If it weren't for the fact that we're related by marriage, I wouldn't have taken this thing. Don't believe me? Just wait, the owner of this thing will soon come to us to take it back. Hmph, let's see then, whether it's more worthwhile for them or William."

  Ma Dahuzi stared at Long Xiaotian's back, swallowing his saliva non-stop. After a while, he kicked one of the guards in the butt and shouted viciously: "Damn it, didn't you hear? Get out and wake up Shifu and all the big and small heads, to Wanjing Pavilion... no, to the conference hall for a meeting."

  He walked away, and again stared at the woman on Wangfeng Pavilion. His eyes flickered for half a day before ordering another henchman: "Go get that person from Wangfeng Pavilion back here. From now on, all six of you will follow me."
