He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

Who else could be walking over here besides Niu Bayi?

He put his hands down, swinging his arms as he said irritably, "Who am I? I'm Niu Bayi! I asked you to deliver diesel, what's going on? You don't even recognize the person who bought diesel?"

He walked up to them casually, picked up a diesel drum, sniffed it, and then nodded in satisfaction.

"Great, the diesel smells right, no water added. Thirty liters, four barrels totaling 120 liters. Thank you everyone. But why did you open the lid? That's dangerous, you know?"

"If it leaks out, and someone accidentally starts a fire, the ship will burn down! How stupid!"

While giving them a serious lecture, Niu Bayi snatched the lid from their hands and covered the diesel drum tightly.

Then, he jumped onto the boat and stretched out his hand.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring up the diesel fuel, I'll take it."

The mountain monster and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

A turtle staring at a mung bean, eyes wide open and closed.

No, we came here with diesel fuel to burn your boat, when did we become delivering diesel fuel to you?

The mountain monster's henchmen immediately turned fierce and were about to cause trouble when the mountain monster quickly glared at them.

Luckily, this kid misunderstood, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to explain.

For now, we can only go along with him.

So the mountain monster put on a big smile.

"Alright, alright, come here, I'll give you the diesel now."

He picked up a bucket of diesel fuel and lifted it high.

Niu Bayi took it from his hand and placed it on the deck.

Suddenly, the four bandits who originally came to set fire to the fishing boats turned into diesel deliverymen.

One barrel after another of diesel fuel were carried up, and Niu Bayi took them and neatly stacked them on the deck.

Looking at the four barrels of diesel fuel, Niu Bayi was overjoyed.

That's a full 120 liters, which is worth quite a bit of money.

These thugs are really nice; they brought me diesel fuel!

It's so great that Ma Youkao is paying for diesel fuel for me!

There are still more good people than bad in this world.

Then he clapped his hands and looked at the mountain monster and his companions with a big smile.

"We've run out of diesel fuel, why aren't you leaving?"

The mountain monster and his companions were so angry they gritted their teeth.

Damn it!

So you can't do this job anymore?

They've really turned into diesel delivery services!

The mountain monster's eyes darted around. Even if it couldn't burn the boat, 120 liters of diesel oil would still be worth a lot of money.

Even though Ma Youkao bought it out of his own pocket, that doesn't stop them from getting the money.

So the mountain monster continued to wear a wide smile and stretched out his hand.

"Young man, you have to pay me for the 120 liters of diesel."

Niu Ba was stunned.

Why should we give it to them?

The mountain monster was furious.

"We worked hard to deliver diesel to you in the middle of the night, and we even delivered 120 liters. You don't have to pay for it. We can't just give you this diesel for free."

The other three understood what the mountain monster meant and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, we can't give it away for free!!"

Greed was also evident on their faces.

One hundred and twenty liters of diesel fuel! If the money is split equally among the four of us, we'll each get a considerable amount.

It's not much less than the reward Ma Youkao promised.

Niu Bayi suddenly burst into laughter!

His laughter left the four thugs completely bewildered, their faces growing increasingly unpleasant.

One of the thugs asked a question.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

Niu Bayi stopped laughing and said seriously, "I treated you like diesel sellers and distributors because I didn't want you to become criminals. You were originally going to burn my fishing boat, right?"

"You should be thanking me, why are you asking me for money? Are you out of your mind?"

The four thugs were startled and then realized what was happening.

So that's the kid!

Damn it!

Did you know we were coming to set the ships on fire?

He tricked me!

Now this kid hasn't suffered any losses, but we've wasted four whole barrels of diesel for nothing.

The mountain monster immediately yelled, "Kid, you're asking for it! You dare to play us for fools? Believe me, I'll stab you to death!"

Whoosh!

He pulled a sharp dagger from his waist.

It is a full fifteen centimeters long.

If you stab someone in the heart, they won't survive.

The other three thugs also pulled out their weapons.

Immediately afterward, their vision blurred, followed by a series of loud thuds and screams.

Niu Bayi is incredibly fast!

It turned out that he had hidden an iron rod, about 30 or 40 centimeters long, at the bow of the boat.

He immediately pulled out the iron rod and smashed it hard against the mountain monster's wrist, which was holding the dagger.

He jumped off the bow of the boat again and smashed the daggers of the other three thugs away.

They smashed their hands so hard they almost broke them.

Niu Bayi moved with lightning speed, not only smashing the dagger away but also continuing to wield the iron rod, smashing it relentlessly.

Before long, he knocked the four thugs down on the embankment, where they clutched their heads and howled in pain.

Niu Bayi sneered and kicked the dagger that had fallen to the ground into the sea.

Then, he asked coldly, "Do you submit?"

The mountain monster said fiercely, "Boy, do you know who I am? How dare you hit me like that? Believe me, I'll call more..."

boom!

Niu Ba Yi smashed the iron rod down on his head again!

Although it wasn't very heavy, I held back some of my strength.

But this is an iron rod.

Instantly, the mountain monster felt its head spinning, and its whole body convulsed in pain.

Niu Bayi raised his iron rod, ready to smash again, but the mountain monster couldn't take it anymore.

"I give up! I give up! Boss, stop fighting! If you keep going, someone will die! If someone dies, it won't be good for us, and it won't be good for you either. You'll get arrested and go to jail!"

The other three thugs also pleaded repeatedly, and even kindly tried to understand Niu Bayi's perspective.

He'd go to jail if he killed someone; it's not worth it.

You're so young, please don't think so negatively.

Niu Bayi snorted, hoisted the iron rod onto his shoulder, and said coldly, "Ma Youkao sent you, didn't he?"

The mountain monster was unbelievable, he blurted out.

"How did you know? Not only did you know we were coming to burn the fishing boats, but you also knew it was Ma Youkao. You..."

Niu Bayi chuckled.

"Lao Tzu possesses the ability to foresee the future. He is an incarnation of a celestial being. There is nothing in this world that I do not know."

This completely startled the four thugs.

Niu Bayi said coldly, "Now take me to find Ma Youkao. I reckon he's hiding somewhere, waiting for you to come back and report good news, right?"

The mountain monster and his companions stammered, unsure how to respond.

Niu Bayi suddenly raised the iron rod again.

The mountain monster was immediately convinced.

He immediately shouted, "Yes, yes, boss, you're truly a god descended to earth! You guessed everything correctly! Ma Youkao is in a hut not far from Jinlong Village, waiting for us to report the good news to him."

"He also said that if the fishing boats were set on fire, we should go and tell him."

"He also needs to see how your fishing boat and you were burned to ashes."

The so-called wind house is a welfare facility set up by the sea.

The seaside is windy and the waves are big, and it can rain heavily at any time. In order to provide a place for passers-by to take shelter from the rain and wind, these wind shelters were built. They are made of red bricks and are quite sturdy.

There are benches and other seating areas inside where people can sit and rest.

Niu Bayi said, "Take me to him now!"
