Night Old Bai Gan's (type of Chinese liquor) deal with the reincarnated person has nothing to do with Daytime Hu Ma.

From the moment he realized the weirdness and danger of this world, Hu Ma insisted on having two sets of thinking to avoid leaving any traces. Because of this, some things came to his mind naturally.

He was just a small *shousui* (a profession, similar to a night watchman) who came out to work part-time, but he was miserably tricked by the young master Lu of this town in collusion with her junior sister. Now he was lucky enough to survive, but the promised silver was all gone. Should he take revenge?

...Normally, he wouldn't take revenge. After all, he had already seen how powerful the other party was. Wouldn't it be just asking for trouble to go back?

...He should hide for ten or eight years, and then deal with him when he was confident.

But his persona was that he would go.

After all, first, he suffered a loss and almost lost his life. Moreover, he knew the other party's family and was a *shousui* skilled in close combat. It would be unreasonable not to take revenge with his hot-blooded nature.

And if he took revenge, suffered a little loss, and then went back to the Red Lantern Mother Society to report some clues, he would get credit for his hard work.

Of course, it might not be impossible to discuss it with Digua Shao (Sweet Potato Burn) and let him kill Young Master Lu himself and bring him back to report.

But first of all, the current Young Master Lu was also Digua Shao's trophy. Secondly, with his current cultivation, he could only touch some information and receive credit for his hard work when dealing with people from the Xinghun (Punishment Soul) Sect. It would be too conspicuous to claim such a great achievement.

He immediately made an agreement with Digua Shao and thought about it silently for half the night.

The next day, he got up, ate a big meal first, then divided the silver under his bed into batches, loaded it onto his donkey cart, paid the room fee, left fifty taels on the table of the inn, and said to the innkeeper:

"This is the good deed of your townspeople."

"Leave this silver here, and settle down that group of idiots later. If you embezzle the silver, I'll come back to you."

"..."

Saying that, he didn't care whether the innkeeper understood or not, and had already left the inn.

Those *jianghu* (martial world) people had lost their souls and were not being taken care of. The only way for them was to starve to death. He had left fifty taels of silver, which was enough to fulfill his intentions. He couldn't do anything about the specifics.

After leaving the inn in big strides, he led the donkey cart and first went to the local cart and horse shop to hire a driver to help him drive the donkey cart out of the town. Then, he asked him to watch the donkey cart by the roadside.

"I remembered something and I'm going back. Please keep an eye on it for me."

Hu Ma said to the driver, "But you must be careful not to peek at the things in my cart, and don't have any thoughts about them."

The driver hurriedly said, "What are you saying, boss? I'm an honest person, I just drive the cart to earn money."

Hu Ma said, "That's for the best. If you're not honest, I have ways to deal with you."

Saying that, he first lit a stick of incense at the front of the cart, then bowed to the incense, and turned back to the town.

The driver who was left behind saw that Hu Ma was acting mysteriously, and he was indeed on his guard. Looking at the stick of incense on the front of the cart, he could probably guess that this was not an ordinary merchant.

However, he looked back at the ruts. It had just rained, and the road was muddy. From the traces of the ruts, he guessed that there should be something heavy in the cart. So, what could be so heavy?

The more he thought about it, the more curious he became, and he had the idea of ​​secretly reaching out to lift the thatch on it to take a look.

But just at this moment, he suddenly heard a "hee hee" laugh, and his eyes blurred. He saw a girl wearing a red dress and with two small pigtails sitting on the shaft of the cart, swinging her small feet.

The driver was immediately frightened and covered in cold sweat. He knelt on the ground, constantly begging for mercy and praying.

...

Hu Ma didn't worry about anything else. With Xiao Hongtang watching, this driver wouldn't even think about stealing his silver.

He just hid a knife in his arms, put on his raincoat and bamboo hat again, and walked towards the Lu family's rice shop in this town. On the way, his lungs were transformed into dead ones, and his face became extremely pale.

This was a kind of disguise he had learned. He had also used it when he went to Niujiawan to meet Yang Gong and confronted the Qingyi Gang. It didn't require too many tricks. Just this transformation made a big difference in his complexion. It was much better than sticking on a beard or something.

After all, he had yellow paper pasted on his face yesterday and hadn't really met Digua Shao. Today, he was just acting out the end, so there was no need to show his face.

Soon he arrived in front of Lu's Rice Shop. He saw a group of shop assistants carrying things there, which was very lively. He didn't go into details. He just pretended to be a *jianghu* hothead and silently walked towards the rice shop.

Seeing many curious eyes cast around, he just whispered: "Where is your Young Master Lu?"

The shop assistants around didn't answer, just looked him up and down.

Suddenly someone came to ask about their young master, and he wasn't wearing silk or silver, so naturally no one would say.

But Hu Ma didn't say a word and was about to break into the rice shop. The shop assistants hurriedly shouted and stepped forward to stop him.

"What are you doing?"

"Go find our shopkeeper first..."

"..."

Hu Ma didn't speak, just reached into his arms, staring warily at the rice shop's shop assistants.

When the shop assistants saw his appearance, they also became wary, and many people picked up the iron hooks they used to grab rice bags.

The atmosphere between the two sides was already a bit tense, but it was just at this moment that a coquettish voice suddenly came from inside, saying as it came out: "What are so many people doing at the door? Has the person who went to get medicine for my senior brother returned yet..."

Another old voice hurriedly replied: "Soon, soon, Miss... Miss, is our young master's injury serious?"

As they spoke, they came over, and just happened to meet Hu Ma's eyes.

It was Digua Shao, whom he had met yesterday. Yesterday she was wearing simple clothes, looking like a *jianghu* person, but now she had changed into a lady's clothes, which made her look radiant.

It was just that the ruffian energy on her body couldn't be changed.

And the one following her was the Lu family's butler, who had helped Young Master Lu greet Hu Ma and the other *jianghu* people before.

"You..."

Digua Shao just arrived at the door and glanced at Hu Ma, startled slightly.

But Hu Ma suddenly exuded murderous intent and shouted fiercely: "You senior brother and sister are in collusion to trick people, give me your life!"

Saying that, his hand drew out from his arms, it was the knife that had been hidden in advance and drawn from its sheath.

He rushed forward in one step and slashed down fiercely with his knife.

"My mom..."

Suddenly seeing this knife, everyone was frightened and dodged to the side.

Digua Shao was even more shocked and shouted: "Old butler, save me..."

Saying that, she pushed the old butler forward, while she quickly retreated and reached into her sleeve.

At this moment, the old butler also recognized him. The person who came was one of the *jianghu* people that his young master had recruited the day before, and he was also a good hand among them.

He didn't know what his young master had taken those people to do last night, but he knew that many people hadn't returned, and only his young master's junior sister had accompanied his young master back. Moreover, his young master looked a little confused, as if he was not in a good state.

He didn't dare to ask, but he understood in his heart that his young master must have gone to do something big, and it was estimated that those *jianghu* people who hadn't returned had already lost their lives.

Now, suddenly seeing someone coming to seek revenge, he was even more clear-headed and shouted loudly: "Hero, spare me..."

"Swish..."

Hu Ma's knife should have directly chopped off the old butler's head, but suddenly, those shop assistants saw that he was ill-intentioned earlier, and they were all on guard. Now, naturally, no one dared to come forward to fight head-on, but they took the opportunity to throw a bag of rice at him.

Hu Ma broke the rice bag with one knife, and suddenly the white rice blocked his sight.

Also at this moment, after the junior sister took a step back, she suddenly took out a stack of paper money from her sleeve.

Suddenly following the rice, it was scattered towards him.

Hu Ma swung his steel knife and swept away most of the paper money, but in the hazy mist, there were still a few pieces of paper money that seemed to hit his head.

He felt dizzy for a moment, as if he had been hit on the head with a big rock. His legs were a little disobedient, and he staggered slightly, feeling a sense of dizziness and his body seemed to be a little lighter.

Knowing that he had been hit, he hurriedly shouted, waved his knife wildly, turned around and fled: "You Lu family, remember this..."

"The mountains don't turn, the water turns, this matter, we're not done with..."

"..."

While shouting, he rushed out of the street, bumped into many people, and ran away in big strides.

It was just that he didn't notice that just after he had escaped, on the other side, there was also a dull man carrying a knife, slowly walking over.

Hu Ma still needed to hide his knife, but this dull man was too inconspicuous, even though he was carrying half a knife in his hand, others only regarded it as a hoe. Surprisingly, no one cared about him. He also saw Hu Ma and was stunned for a moment.

"It's good that someone comes forward for this kind of harmful thing. If someone comes forward, we don't have to come forward."

He seemed to be talking to himself, or talking to something. He turned his head and slowly walked away: "We only have to do it if no one cares."

"Who... who is that..."

At this time, the butler, who had just escaped from death, was also clutching his chest, gasping for breath.

"It's someone my senior brother tricked yesterday."

The junior sister also looked in the direction where Hu Ma fled and sighed: "Seeing that he was a newbie, he only wanted to deceive people, but he didn't think that although he was a newbie, he was a capable one!"

"Now, the trouble is big."

"Butler Grandpa, I think you should listen to me and sell this rice shop as soon as possible. Otherwise, if his master comes to the door, our Lu family may not be able to handle it..."

"..."

While speaking, she secretly glanced in the direction where Hu Ma left, and thought to herself: "This senior is willing to cooperate with me to do a full set of acting with such status, he is really dedicated..."

"He is kind enough, and I can't let him suffer."

"But his vision is so high, only tens of thousands of taels of silver can catch his eye, where can I find it for him?"
