march to victory

What just made Ma Hongji sigh: The villagers have backbone!

Faced with such a heavy gift, the villagers confiscated none of them.

Moreover, you must know that if there were no incidents last night, the villagers would not accept them, which could be said to be caused by hatred. However, after what happened last night, the villagers are still like this, which means that the villagers are rich and cannot Lustful, mighty and unyielding backbone.

What makes Ma Hongji proud is: the performance of so many outstanding villagers, who dares to say that there is no credit for the enlightenment of Lao Tzu?I have contributed a lot!A hundred years later, whenever someone mentions today's events, he must mention himself. This is a great thing that will last forever.

But what makes Ma Hongji a little angry is: after what happened yesterday, I have explained the truth to you clearly, why are you still so small-minded and short-sighted?It's too unreasonable to hold on to the past and turn a blind eye to the huge crisis that is close at hand... To put it bluntly: you dare to go against what I said, why, do you want to rebel?

"Since they don't accept them, what are they still doing around Zhang Ermao's house?"

"My lord, Li Jing and the others apologized, even if the other party didn't accept the gift, they would still stand at the door all the time, insisting on waiting for him to come out and apologize to him before leaving. They also said that if they didn't accept the gift, they would come again in the evening... ...Also, I heard that Er Gazi, Li Jing's confidant, also brought some people who participated in the attack on our village back then, and they did the same on the other side."

"Oh~! It seems that this attitude is very firm and sincere. Let's go and have a look."

"Brother Big Hair, just open the door, even if you don't accept the apology, at least come out and let me bring my brothers to apologize to you..."

From far away, I heard Li Jing shouting there.

Ma Hongji was wondering: how could Li Jing know every household in the village so clearly?Walking in, it turned out that Ma Hongxin was working as a staff officer...Ma Hongxin was the king of children since he was a child, and he knew every household in the village early on, so he naturally knew that this household lived in Ma Ermao—he When I was young with Ma Ermao, I was only short of wearing a pair of pants. I often bullied other classmates. Can you not be familiar with Ma Ermao's house?

"I don't need to apologize, you guys go!"

The door was still closed, but Ma Ermao's wife answered through the door.

"Brothers and sisters! We are sincerely sorry and sincerely apologize, so you just open the door, or, we apologize to you here, can you promise in the room?"

"Let's go! I...I'm telling you the truth, I don't want to be hated, and I don't want to be kicked out of the village."

"The Ermao family, what are you talking about?" Ma Hongji felt that if the Ermao family continued to talk about it, maybe even the order that he secretly gave before dark yesterday would be revealed, so naturally he couldn't stand it anymore. Yes, speak up quickly.

"The patriarch is here, everyone quickly make way for the patriarch."

With a loud cry from a guard, the villagers immediately moved out of the way.

Ma Hongji walked in like a crowd, and saw Li Jing standing in front of the gate of Ma Ermao's house with seven or eight soldiers pushing carts, looking forward eagerly.On the side, Ma Hongxin squatted on the ground smoking a cigarette, but glared fiercely at the surrounding crowd, saying, "It's none of your business!"Don't join in blindly, or I will clean up your vicious appearance.

Upon hearing Ma Hongji's voice, Ma Ermao and his wife quickly opened the door and walked out.

"Cousin, why are you here?" The two of them have been out of five clothes for a long time, but they are indeed from the same ancestor. Moreover, Ma Ermao is one of the vice-captains of the guards, and he can be regarded as Ma Hongji's confidant, so they called Ma Hongji cousin.

"What, you mean I'm not welcome?"

"Cousin, that's not what I meant."

"Hmph!" Ma Hongji snorted, walked to Li Jing, and said with a smile, "Lao Li, there's no need to be so troublesome. How about you and I go back first?"

After what happened yesterday, especially the happy result after the two people's secret talks, the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds. At least the verbal address has changed from: Patriarch Ma to brother Ma, to brother, to Lao Li today.It can be seen that the cooperation between the two is getting better and better.

"Old Ma, this won't work!" Li Jing said with a wry smile, "No matter how everyone treats me, even if they beat me and scold me, it's all right. I asked for everything... Since it's a sincere apology If you apologize, you should show your sincerity, so please leave this matter alone."

Ma Hongji thought for a while, then turned to look at Ma Ermao, and asked, "Ermao, I remember that no one was dead in your family at that time, but you and your wife seemed to have killed each other, and you told me the good news afterwards, so I rewarded you five times." Kuai Dayang, at that time you were very proud to brag about everywhere, isn’t that the case?”

Ma Ermao was able to be the vice-captain. Naturally, he has some abilities. At least, he understood the look in Ma Hongji's eyes, and quickly replied: "Yes, that's why I didn't ask them to apologize. But they insisted on giving me an apology." Sorry, I can't agree, so I have no choice but to not open the door."

Ma Hongji felt that this was reasonable, and was about to turn around to persuade Li Jing, at least this family didn't need to apologize.Unexpectedly, Ma Ermao's wife said a little too much, "But they took away a big fat pig from my family at that time."

Ma Ermao immediately turned around and pushed his daughter-in-law, cursing: "Masters are talking, there is no place for you, a woman, to interrupt, get the hell out of here."

Only then did Ma Ermao's daughter-in-law realize that she seemed to have said something wrong, her complexion changed, she sat down on the threshold with her mouth curled up, and looked here angrily.

"Old Li, you heard that too. You took a pig from his family, and he killed one of you, and he got five oceans afterwards. Not only did his family not suffer a loss, but they made a fortune. In my opinion, his family even right?"

"Old Ma, things can't be counted that way. After all, we were wrong at the time. Regardless of what happened to the Ermao brothers' family, but in short, we were wrong first. It is right to apologize and pay the Ermao brothers' family."

Seeing Li Jing's insistence, Ma Ermao became anxious, walked over, and whispered: "Li Battalion Commander, it's not that I don't agree with you, but that your order is wrong."

Seeing Li Jing looking over in confusion, Ma Ermao said even more in a low voice: "You really don't need to apologize to my family. You, Battalion Commander Li, are so sincere and show your attitude. It's not that I, Ma Ermao, are not unreasonable." If you are the first one to come to my house, I will definitely cooperate, but you have apologized to more than a dozen people, and they all refused. You said, if I accept your apology, the folks in this village, everyone What will you think of me? How can I stay in the village in the future? So, Battalion Commander Li, I beg you, please don’t let me get off the stage, okay?”

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood where he was wrong.However, now that the mistake has been made, there is no turning back and we can only persevere.

"Brother Ermao, do you think this is okay? Let me apologize again, and you can cooperate with me, brother?"

After thinking about it for a while, Ma Ermao shouted loudly: "Li Battalion Commander, your apology is indeed sincere, and I, Ma Ermao, am not an ungodly person, so I accept your apology. However, your apology is fine, because you It’s true that I didn’t escape to gain advantage here. I, Ma Ermao, am not a person who pushes his feet, so you take back this apology. However, I don’t care about the matter of you leading people to fight the village back then, but in my Ma Ermao’s heart, this matter Write it off from now on, and never mention it again in the future.”

"Thank you, Brother Ermao, for the large number of adults."

Li Jing hurriedly bowed to Ma Ermao.

Ma Hongji also turned around and said to everyone: "I have said enough yesterday, and now I will just say one thing: Yesterday, the little devil slaughtered two villages near us, and I believe he will deal with our village soon. That is to say, From now on, our biggest enemy will be the little devils. If we don’t want our money to be robbed, our houses to be burned, our men to be killed, and our wives and daughters to be insulted, then we should let go of all the grievances and grievances in the past, unite as one, and work with one heart and one mind. Let's deal with the little devils together... Moreover, Battalion Commander Li and the others came here this time to help us, to protect our village, and to fight to the death with the little devils. I feel deeply remorseful for my mistake, so I plan to apologize to everyone, make a gift, and express my repentance before beating up the little devil. Then, should we also think about it, Others have given up their lives to protect our wives, children, and children. Are we really holding on to the little grievances in the past, and watching these heroes who came to protect us go to fight against the little devils, and remain indifferent? ?”

"That's all for now, let's think about it for ourselves!"

"The patriarch is right. I firmly support the decision of the patriarch." As soon as Ma Hongji finished speaking, a fair-looking woman stood up and cooperated loudly.After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Jing and said with a big grin, "Come on! Give me a gift and an apology, and I promise to forgive you."

This young woman knew at first sight that she was a bold and pungent person, but for Li Jing, this was a great thing, it showed that our sincerity really moved the common people, no, some people responded immediately.

However, the surrounding crowd burst into laughter.

The young woman was really savage, with her waist up, glaring at the onlookers, and a lot of people scolded the shrews in a village, and shouted: "You are laughing farts! Li Battalion Commander came to apologize to you with good intentions, you It's fine if you don't accept it. Why, I want to see who accepts the apology. Is it easy to scold them afterwards? My mother is not like this... Besides, on the other hand, if Battalion Commander Li apologizes to you, what can you do? Can’t you just accept anger obediently? So, don’t be too extreme in your behavior, otherwise, you will have your own retribution.”

The words are not rude!Immediately, the laughter became much smaller: Yes!Everyone has been only thinking about the anger in their hearts, not thinking about the little devil, let alone thinking about it, if Commander Li is not so daring, what can they do with him?

Li Jing applauded in his heart, and immediately looked at Ma Hongxin: "Quickly introduce me the name of such a good young woman."

As soon as Ma Hongxin saw Ma Hongji, he immediately became a little annoyed: brother!You're kidding me again.

But when he saw the look in Li Jing's eyes, he didn't dare to disobey: Li Jing is the battalion commander, several ranks higher than him, the deputy captain of the guerrilla brigade, how dare he disobey the commander's wishes?

However, Ma Hongxin did not directly introduce, but secretly nodded to Ma Hongji, with a strange smile on his face, full of the meaning of watching a good show.

As for Ma Hongji, he wished he could find a hole in the ground and smirk with embarrassment on his face...
