Chapter 2: Sudden Change

The horse, hearing the sound, charged towards the village like an enraged lion, fierce and aggressive. The shopkeeper followed closely behind, his eyes revealing a glint of intensity, completely contrasting with his seemingly amiable appearance

"You all go and accompany the villagers in their burial," said the shopkeeper. As soon as these words were spoken, those people felt their bodies were out of control. Just then, with a shout of 'Drink,' their bodies immediately regained control.

After a long journey, Ma Wu and the shopkeeper were nearing the village. Suddenly, Ma Wu saw a flickering red light in the village, and an ominous feeling arose within him. The shopkeeper also sensed that something was amiss and quickly urged the horse on, soon bringing the carriage into the village

You must be Brother Wu, right? I've heard Uncle Zhang talk about you for a long time. " With that, Cui'er cheerfully ran towards Ma Wu, revealing a set of large yellow teeth, with vegetable leaves still stuck to them

Ma Wu swiftly dodged and began to look for the right moment to counterattack. His fists involuntarily tightened. Just as the man approached Ma Wu with a knife, Ma Wu angrily threw a punch at the man's face. At the moment Ma Wu struck, the man clearly noticed his movement and was about to resist. Suddenly, a surge of power hit his mind, and a dazzling sensation caused his movements to slow down. Ma Wu's punch landed heavily on the man's face, and he immediately fell unconscious.

"Mother, how many times have I told you? I do not wish to marry at this moment. The man I will marry in the future must be a hero, possessing masculinity. The young gentlemen you have introduced do not meet this standard." After saying this, Jia Cui removed the mask from her face, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful visage. The peony wilted in comparison, and the moon was shamed by her beauty.

Seeing that the man had not struck Ma Wu accurately, he became enraged. He pulled up his trousers and, looking fierce and menacing, strode towards Ma Wu, brandishing the knife in his hand

Ma Wu watched as the woman approached him, and he inwardly cried out in distress

After Ma Wu attacked Li Meng, he also began to be wary of his companions. He noticed that their gazes were becoming increasingly sharp.

Ah, this is Ma Wu's first time coming to the town. I promised him that I would take a stroll and would come to the residence to disturb you after I finish browsing

Upon seeing a doll toy, the child's face was filled with a sense of satisfaction. At that moment, the puppy's eyes closed, accompanied by a look of relaxation. It was as if, after enduring great suffering before death, it found relief in passing.

Hearing her mother's words, Cui'er smiled and said to Ma Wu, "Brother Ma Wu and the books, I have been quite rude. Your Highness..." Accompanied by a burst of laughter, Cui'er withdrew.

Ma Wu felt the pulse of the puppy and discovered a faint heartbeat. He picked up the puppy and began to call out to it. No matter how much Ma Wu called, the puppy showed no signs of waking up

I sincerely apologize; my lack of teaching has caused you to laugh at us. " Lady Jia said, "Is there anything else, brother shopkeeper? If not, please stay and have a meal with us.

At the market in the town, the shopkeeper, accompanied by Ma Wu, first purchased some essential goods for daily life, and then bought some toys for the children. Every time the shopkeeper returned from the town, he would always bring back toys for the children in the village. Each time Ma Wu witnessed the satisfaction and joy on the children's faces upon receiving the toys, a faint smile would linger at the corners of his mouth. This time, seeing the toys bought by the shopkeeper, Ma Wu seemed to envision the children in the village who longed for toys. Among them was a child named Xiao Gouzi, who had never received a single toy. When they were leaving the village, Xiao Gouzi specifically sent them off, emphasizing that he must bring back a toy for himself this time. He also mentioned that he would wait for their return at the village entrance.

Upon arriving in the village, Ma Wu saw a man thrusting against a naked woman. The woman's gaze was vacant, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and her disheveled hair was being clutched by the man's hand

"The big brother has arrived." The men thought joyfully.

All of this happened in a very short period of time. At this moment, the shopkeeper also arrived. Looking at Li Meng on the ground, he couldn't help but feel puzzled: "That man's physique is not easily knocked down. How on earth did this kid manage to do it?"

The man seemed to sense that someone was approaching him, so he picked up the knife stuck in the ground and swung it at the horse that was quickly coming closer to him

Watching the puppy close its eyes, the shopkeeper released the puppy's hand. Addressing Ma Wu, he said: "This child is beyond saving; what a pity for a young life."

"Little Wu, it's you. That's great, I encountered a group of strangers at the village entrance, and they attacked me with a few knives as soon as they saw me," said the little dog weakly. "Little Wu, where is my toy? Did you bring it for me?"

After Ma Wu left, Lady Jia suddenly said to her daughter beside her: "Every time we arrange a match for you, you always act like this, and you have scared off quite a few suitors. Today, I think that young man Ma Wu is quite good; why do you not find him appealing?"

Upon arriving at the village entrance, Ma Wu saw a small child lying on the ground, bleeding. At a glance, Ma Wu recognized the child as Xiao Gouzi. He quickly dismounted from the cart and rushed towards Xiao Gouzi.

Ma Wu was thoroughly enraged and charged towards that man without hesitation, disregarding the crowd behind him.

"I find that Ma Wu has quite a masculine demeanor; what do you think is lacking?" Lady Jia continued to say

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, a burst of laughter echoed from the village.

"Little puppy, what happened?" Ma Wu asked anxiously upon seeing the little puppy wake up

The shopkeeper finished speaking and bid farewell to Lady Jia, then left with Ma Wu.

Ma Wu could no longer endure it and hurriedly hid behind the shopkeeper, trembling all over

Those companions did not believe that Ma Wu had the strength to knock down Li Meng with a single punch. That guy Li Meng is someone who wouldn't fall even if he were hit by a bull

Even Lady Jia felt a bit embarrassed and said to Cui'er: "Cui'er, as a young lady, you should be more refined. How can you expect to get married in the future if you are so careless all day long"

A man with a scar across his face walked over from across the shopkeeper. It was the fierce fellow that Ma Wu had encountered when leaving the village. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became tense. Both sides began to confront each other.

After everything was settled, the shopkeeper took his belongings and went to Madam Jia's house again with Ma Wu. The shopkeeper and Madam Jia deliberately avoided each other, leaving Ma Wu and Cui Er together. Ma Wu endured a conversation with Cui Er. Finally, he waited until the shopkeeper was ready to take him back. As they were about to leave, Cui Er came out to see them off, filled with reluctance, her eyes brimming with emotion, and her face covered with tears.

I have a toy, I will bring it to you right away. After saying this, Ma Wu hurriedly ran to the cart to fetch a doll toy

Due to his frequent hunting, Ma Wu's reflexes are much sharper than those of an average person. With a strong push of his foot against the ground, he dodged that knife and swiftly moved aside

At that moment, Ma Wudun felt a surge of energy, and just then, the puppy's eyes slowly opened.

The companions of that man couldn't help but laugh, saying: "Li Meng has devoted all his energy to that woman, and now he is so weak that he can't even handle a little boy."

The shopkeeper also noticed the impending struggle between Ma Wu and that group of people. Without uttering a word, he walked over alone, simultaneously emanating a terrifying aura.

"Ma Wu is quite good-looking, but he is a bit dull. I certainly do not wish to spend my life with a block of wood." After Jia Cui finished speaking, she looked in the direction where Ma Wu had left, feeling in her heart that she might still have some connection with this block of wood in the future

At this moment, the shopkeeper approached. Seeing the condition of the puppy, one hand reached out towards the puppy's paw
