Under One Person: Lifting the Ball to Soar

"cannot!"

Ma Xianhong was so angry! I have lost all my relatives, and you are still paying attention to your broken plastic toy!

Lu Piao dejectedly took back the mobile phone he had just taken out. He had already entered the shopping cart page. Most of the express delivery of rubber rings were high-priced. In the eyes of Lu Piao, a veteran wait-and-see party, the big guys who would buy every new one that came out belonged to another class.

I originally wanted to take advantage of Children's Day to splurge, but since I missed it, forget it. It's better not to be taken advantage of.

Speaking of being taken advantage of…

Lu Piao raised his head and looked at the world's greatest enemy in front of him. He was really shocked by the fierce operation of Lao Ma's [First Sword of Proving the Dao, Kill the Family First]:

"On June 6th, your identity will be revealed, and your family will surely be exposed as well.

Whether it’s someone who is friendly to you…”

The other party rolled his eyes and complained that Lu Piao was really acting like a non-stick pan all the time...

He poured another cup of Erguotou and gulped it down, knocking the quilt onto the stone table. Ma Xianhong corrected him:

"It's us!"

"Okay..." Lu Piao was reluctant, but he changed his words:

"Whether they are friendly to us or hostile to us, they will definitely target your relatives.

Protection is always passive, and defense is always more difficult than offense.

Besides, looking at your selfless and honest character, anyone can tell that protecting your loved ones may not necessarily gain you any benefit.

Kidnapping your relatives to threaten you, killing your relatives to attack you, the benefits are obvious.

The effort people put in is not proportional to the benefits they receive. I’m afraid that your family, Ma Xianhong, will end up in a bad way!”

Ma Xianhong had a gloomy face and didn't say anything, but he kept drinking, one glass after another, even faster!

"Oh my god! Are you so cruel? Are you just going to watch your family members go to the end of their lives?"

Family members will always be Ma Xianhong’s Achilles’ heel, even if he has decided to give them up for the greater good.

Although he had foreseen this, Ma Xianhong was still furious when he heard others mention the bleak future of his relatives:

"How is that possible! I will ask the company to help me protect my family!"

Lu Piao immediately showed a look of disgust:

“Although Nadutong’s influence is decent, its strength is not. Although the company is sharp in rectifying the alien world, it is relying on the support of someone behind it.

If the old alien forces really want to deal with them, Zhao Pangpang and his men will definitely not be able to withstand their tricks.

Besides, those who are targeting your relatives are trying to deal with you, and the enemies are not limited to the small circle of aliens in Shenzhou.

By then, the overseas organizations that committed the crime will be of the same type or even level as Nadutong, and their organizational and execution capabilities are not just those of some alien factions.

The bunch of useless people in the company, how about you... think of other means?"

A bleak night breeze brought the rustling sound of leaves and a slight coolness.

However, with only a gentle breeze, the temperature on a midsummer night would not be too low.

Ma Xianhong not only has the ability to resist cold and heat, he also has 55-proof liquor!

But for him, the more he drank, the colder the wine became, and his heart became colder:

"Do your best and obey fate!"

Lu Piao advised earnestly:

"With your ability, it's not difficult to protect your family."

Ma Xianhong said resolutely:

"I will never use the power and authority I got from the fairy world for my own selfish desires. This power and authority does not belong to me, Ma Xianhong, but to the humans and spirit beasts of the two worlds!"

Lu Piao: "Why bother? Just be flexible..."

Ma Xianhong said solemnly:

"From Senior Lu Feng, I learned a lesson: the more powerful a force is, the more cautious we must be. We must stick to the bottom line. A thousand-mile dam can be breached by a small hole, so we must not open even the smallest hole."

The old horse's stubbornness made Lu Piao frown repeatedly:

"You are so cruel! Who did you learn this from?"

"I learned it from you!" Ma Xianhong looked at Lu Piao intently:

"You have always mastered the way to travel back and forth to the fairy world, and you even have a relationship with the Supreme Spirit, but the Lu family has not gained any benefits from you...

Judging from the Lu family's style of doing things, since there is no special performance in the circle, it means that there is indeed no preferential treatment, which shows that you have not indulged your family members at all.

Your attitude towards your loved ones is exactly what I want to learn from.”

Old Ma has now realized that he had misunderstood before, thinking that Lu Piao was being hunted by the Lu family. There must be something behind this, but he is not interested in paying attention to the gossip. He is just happy that his friend is not in as much danger as he thought.

Lu Piao curled his lips. The Lu family was originally the predator at the top of the circle. He should be thankful that his evil relatives did not bully others. Why should he worry about their situation?

Lao Ma kept drinking silently, and Lu Piao would occasionally raise a Sprite to clink glasses with him.

I didn't eat the melon well, but I ate most of the peanuts on the plate.

The empty wine bottles on the table had unknowingly piled up. After drinking bottle after bottle of Erguotou, Lao Ma finally got himself drunk.

Ma Xianhong shook his finger with bleary eyes, pointing crookedly at the big red melon cut into eight pieces on the table, and muttered to Lu Piao incoherently:

"Why don't you eat this melon...?"

He closed his eyes, lost consciousness, and became completely drunk.

"1, 2, 3..." Lu Piao pointed at the empty wine bottles on the table and counted:

"Damn! Twenty-three bottles of Erguotou! Old Ma can really drink! Do you want to trick this fool into refining a magical instrument called [Wine Twenty-three]?

The function is that once it is used, all creatures in the world will lose their right to raise fish, and will be forced to drink alcohol..."

Lu Piao recalled the tragic experience of Xia He, who got him drunk by that Juejuezi, and then was abducted to Longhu Mountain to show off his love for her. If he had a magic weapon like [Jiu Twenty-Three] at that time, wouldn't he have been invincible!

Hearing Lao Ma's even and powerful breathing, I couldn't help but complain:

"This guy is arrogant because he has cultivation. His body is really strong. If an ordinary person drank like this, he would have been in the ICU due to alcohol poisoning!"

Lu Piao sighed softly and asked Ruhua to come and clean up.

After these two hardworking and annoying robot girls took away the wine bottles and wiped the table with a towel, they were ordered to pick up the corpse.

One Ruhua dragged Lao Ma under his armpits, while the other Ruhua held Lao Ma's feet, and they followed Lu Piao into the village unsteadily.

……

Day two.

The first thing Ma Xianhong did when he woke up was to hit his head hard twice as it was aching from a hangover.

When my brain became clearer, I looked around the simple room and felt inexplicably familiar with it.

"By the way, last night I..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a burst of laughter coming from behind the door:

"Hahaha! Old Ma, you've fallen. You got up even later than me!"

Ma Xianhong looked in the direction of the sound and saw the door of the room was wide open, separated only by an old pink curtain embroidered with phoenixes and peonies.

When he saw the door curtain, Ma Xianhong was stunned again, and some memories deep in his mind emerged again.

The curtain of the room was opened, and Lu Piao walked into the room holding his phone without even looking up. He was busy playing games and had no time to look anyone in the eye:

"Breakfast is ready. The host asked me to call you to show off. I didn't expect you to wake up just in time."

Ma Xianhong lowered his head slightly, his heart was in turmoil. He was in an ordinary village house, and here...

"This is my..."

Old Ma was just feeling sad because this simple village house was the one he had left for many years...

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!!"

But Lu Piao, the atmosphere destroyer, kept shouting at the side as if urging someone to die.

As Lu Piao muttered, Ma Xianhong got up from the bed, put on his shoes and followed him.

As I moved, the scene in my eyes also changed: familiar brick walls, familiar vegetable fields, familiar jujube trees, familiar narrow paths...

The flood of memories completely drowned, addicted, and suffocated him.

Following Lu Piao into another yard, I saw a group of familiar people holding bowls and chopsticks, gathering around a low table.

The first thing I saw was the old man in the middle, and my vision was blurry.

"Master..."

The one-legged old man said with a smile:

"Xiao Lu, your friend is sober!"

Lu Piao turned his head and glanced at Lao Ma:

"Ah, yes, I'm sober now."

Ma Yuanlu looked at Ma Xianhong, and his old eyes suddenly brightened. He felt that this young man was very kind, and said with some heartache:

"What happened to this kid? Why did he drink so much?"

Lu Piao raised his thumb, pointed at Lao Ma beside him, and said calmly:

"What else? This kid is homesick."

Ma Yuanlu sighed slightly. If a person is in a foreign land and encounters setbacks or feels vulnerable, he will definitely miss his hometown and his loved ones.

"Child, think positively. There is nothing in life that cannot be overcome." The old man waved his hand:

"Come here, let's sit down and eat together!"

"Oh! It's noodles!" Lu Piao pulled Ma Xianhong into the big family.

Everyone at the table greeted Ma Xianhong enthusiastically.

Ma Yuanlu stared at Ma Xianhong without blinking with his round eyes inherited from his grandfather Ma Benzai. The more he looked at him, the more he thought this kid was likable. How come he had such a good impression of him?

Ma Yuanlu picked up his chopsticks and picked up a chicken leg for his grandson.
