Chapter 40 Ma San Loses a Leg
Liu Dazhuang sighed and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Get your guns, let's go to the mountain to find him."
This kid Ma San is everyone's happy pill. Whenever someone encounters a small problem, this kid will take it more seriously than anyone else.
Xing Laoqi responded and went to get the hunting rifle hanging on the wall. He said, "Ma San came back like a gust of wind, and left like a gust of wind. At that time, I was dealing with the dispute between the Yao family and the Tang family, and forgot to ask him why he took the gun..."
Normally, guns must be kept on record when used, after all, they are dangerous weapons. Today, Xing Laoqi was not paying attention and his gun was taken away by Ma San without authorization.
This matter was not easy to make public, so only a few people from the Public Security Brigade knew the inside story. Xing Laoqi explained it and he and Liu Dazhuang hurried out.
"Look at this kid, I found him, he's getting bolder and bolder, he just deserves to be punished..."
Old Seven Xing was always muttering to himself. Liu Dazhuang was a taciturn person. If you didn't talk to him, he would not easily speak on his own initiative.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Xing Laoqi stopped and raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his face with his sleeves: "In which direction?"
Liu Dazhuang pointed to the southwest: "It's over there."
Xing Laoqi gritted his teeth and said, "It will be dark soon. We have to find him quickly. It will be dangerous if we stay in the mountains."
Liu Dazhuang was aware of the seriousness of the matter and secretly cursed Ma San for being a troublemaker.
After entering the mountain, the two men shouted at Ma San again and again, but there was no response at all.
As the sky gradually darkened, Liu Dazhuang and Xing Laoqi walked deeper into the mountains.
The further you go in, the more dangerous it becomes, because there are many large and ferocious beasts lurking there. Even with a hunting rifle, most people don't dare to go deep into the mountains.
While looking for Ma San, Xing Laoqi scolded him for causing him trouble, but he never stopped looking.
Night fell unknowingly, and the wild animals that hunted for food at night came out one by one.
It’s easy to encounter other animals, but they are most afraid of encountering social animals, such as wolves.
Liu Dazhuang pricked up his ears and listened. Xing Laoqi was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back. He rubbed his stomach and said, "Where did this kid go? Isn't he on this mountain?"
"Impossible, I am sure that the tiger roar came from this mountain..."
Xing Laoqi sighed: "Damn it, I guess I owed Ma San in my previous life. When I find him, I will skin him alive..."
At this time, they were hungry and thirsty, and they were in the mood to tear Ma San to pieces.
Xing Laoqi kept walking forward while saying harsh words.
The two men came in a hurry and did not expect that they would not be able to find Ma San for such a long time, so they did not bring any belongings.
Liu Dazhuang was so tired that he leaned against a tree to wipe his sweat. Ma San said angrily, "Wait for the captain to come back, and then you will see how I will make things difficult for him."
Xing Laoqi was furious: "Yes, I'll tell his father later, and Ma San will be skinned alive..."
As they were talking, the two of them looked at each other and laughed. Even though their words sounded harsh, they would not treat Ma San like that.
No matter what, he is everyone's happy pill, and he is a warm-hearted person, but he is young and does not know the details of his work.
Xing Laoqi's stomach started to growl, and Liu Dazhuang's stomach also felt uncomfortable, and he was so thirsty that he kept swallowing his saliva.
The two of them talked about Ma San's faults and discussed how to deal with him, as if this would give them motivation to look for him!
The moon rose higher unnoticed, and both Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang were extremely anxious.
"Ma San? Where have you been? Can you answer me?"
The two of them shouted these words countless times along the way, but they got no response from Ma San.
"What should I do?"
Liu Dazhuang asked Xing Laoqi.
"What else can we do? We can only keep looking."
Liu Dazhuang wiped his sweat again and walked forward with Xing Laoqi.
After walking about another two miles, the sharp-eyed Liu Dazhuang vaguely saw a foot sticking out of the grass. Due to poor vision, he couldn't tell whether it was Ma San.
He reminded Xing Laoqi, and the two men became more alert and approached with shotguns in hand.
"Who's in the bush? Squeak?"
The other party did not respond. Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang looked at each other, and they both slowed down their pace at the same time.
Soon they arrived in front of the bushes and slowly approached. At this moment, they both exclaimed at the same time.
"Ma San?"
Liu Dazhuang and Xing Laoqi hurried forward to check on Ma San's condition. It would have been fine if they hadn't checked, but once they did, they felt disappointed.
"You little brat, why are you in such a mess?"
Ma San was covered in blood, his hunting rifle was not beside him, and half of his right leg was bitten off by some large animal.
Xing Laoqi patted Ma San's face and pinched him, but Ma San didn't react at all.
Liu Dazhuang hurriedly took off his coat and wrapped Ma San's injured right leg to prevent him from bleeding to death.
"Let's take him back quickly."
Xing Laoqi stood up and bent down, and Liu Dazhuang helped Ma San onto his back.
The two did not dare to waste a moment and took turns carrying Ma San back.
The mountain road was difficult to travel on, and it was night. When Liu Dazhuang was running with Ma San on his back, he accidentally tripped over a rock.
He fell and his head was bleeding, but even so, he didn't care about his injuries and continued to run back while pressing the wound with his hand.
"I can't do it anymore. I really can't run anymore."
Xing Laoqi carried Ma San on his back and ran two or three miles in one breath. Even he, the wrong person, would have collapsed from exhaustion.
Liu Dazhuang took off his vest, tore it open and wrapped it around his head: "I'll carry him."
Xing Laoqi looked at Liu Dazhuang, whose forehead was dripping with blood, and took off his coat and gave it to him so that he wouldn't have to go shirtless.
Liu Dazhuang put on his clothes, carried Ma San on his back and ran away. Xing Laoqi sat on the ground exhausted.
"Follow me."
“Here I come.”
Xing Laoqi was so tired that he crawled on the ground for a while, and finally he forced himself to stand up by holding on to a big tree.
"I can't fall, I can't fall, I can't fall..."
Xing Laoqi kept hypnotizing himself and forced himself to run.
God helps those who work hard, and they finally entered the village at around 1:00 a.m.
"Help! Help! Help!!"
Both of them had reached their physical limits and could only shout for help when they entered the village.
The noise of the dogs barking woke up the villagers living nearby.
Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang lay on the ground with their arms and legs spread out, looking at Ma San who was carried away by the villagers, and they slowly closed their eyes.
After resting for more than ten minutes, Liu Dazhuang and Xing Laoqi supported each other and went to the village clinic.
When they came over, Doctor Shen was treating Ma San's injuries. Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang were sitting on the stools like dead dogs, not saying a word.
Soon Ma San's father Ma Youcai and mother Luo Yuying arrived.
Luo Yuying looked at her son's appearance and cried heartbreakingly. Ma Youcai also cried, but he was a man after all, so he controlled his emotions.
Soon Ma San's brothers and sisters-in-law came, and the clinic suddenly became lively.
"How can Ma San continue to work in the public security brigade after he loses a leg? How can our whole family survive?"
This is what Ma San's sister-in-law said.
Brother Ma San was standing nearby, with his head down and not saying a word.
"Sister-in-law, it's already this time, how can you say such things?"
Ma San's second brother couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to confront his sister-in-law.
"Isn't what I said wrong? Without Ma San's salary to support our family, we all know what kind of life we would live..."
