Liu Fei prepared a large table of dishes, including meat, fish, and eggs, and even bought a roast duck.
She said cheerfully, "Abbot, I heard you used to be a monk?"
The abbot smiled shyly and explained, "My uncle is a monk. I studied martial arts with him at the temple for two years, but I have never been a monk."
Liu Fei looked the abbot up and down and exclaimed, "Abbot, you are really strong. Looking at you, I am reminded of Li Kui from Water Margin and Zhang Fei from Romance of the Three Kingdoms. You look a lot like them."
The abbot was very stocky and had dark skin, which made him appear even more robust.
Ma Yunfei joked, "Mom, the abbot's martial arts skills are no less than those of Li Kui and Zhang Fei. The descriptions in the books are too exaggerated."
The town mayor returned from get off work and warmly shook hands with the abbot, saying, "Little Fang, I heard that you beat up Erlu. The police station won't let you go and even wants to send you to the county public security bureau. When I heard about this, I immediately told the police station chief: 'They're just buddies playing around. Don't take it seriously. Release him immediately.'"
Ma Yunfei quickly poked the abbot's lower back with his finger. The abbot, not being stupid, quickly said, "Thank you for saving my life, Mayor."
"Haha... It's not so much saving your life, it's just saving you from jail time. Xiao Fang, you've never been to jail before, have you?"
"I...I've never been to jail."
"Although I have never been to prison, I have visited prisons. The prisoners are under close surveillance whether they are eating, sleeping or working. Even their sitting posture is regulated. Once they enter the cell, they have no freedom at all."
"Yes, I've heard that the prison warden is quite fierce and bullies new inmates."
"Hehe... That's right. In short, it's like living through a year in prison."
Ma Yunfei chimed in, "Godfather, if it weren't for you speaking up for the abbot this time, he would definitely have spent two years in jail. You saved the abbot, and he is extremely grateful to you. He said that he is willing to be your servant for the rest of his life."
The abbot was not good with words and didn't know how to say flattering things, so Ma Yunfei had to express his gratitude on his behalf.
Liu Fei specially bought two bottles of Wuliangye.
Gu Le said, "Tonight, let's drink until we drop."
The three grown men finished two bottles of Wuliangye liquor without batting an eye, as if they were drinking plain water.
Gu Le was surprised and asked, "Xiao Fang, how much alcohol can you drink?"
The abbot replied in a muffled voice, "I don't know either. I've never been drunk. The most I've ever drunk was three bottles of baijiu."
Gu Le was taken aback.
After finishing their meal, Gu Le whispered to Ma Yunfei, "Let Xiao Fang go home first, and we'll discuss the details further."
The abbot left first.
Gu Le asked, "Xiao Ma, have you reached an agreement with the abbot?"
"The deal is done. The abbot said: He would go through fire and water to serve the mayor."
"That's good. A chivalrous man like the abbot will repay you tenfold if you give him even a small favor. Such people are the easiest to manipulate, but they are also the easiest to cause trouble."
“Godfather, I have repeatedly told the abbot that we cannot use our fists to hit him, but only to whip him with a belt. In my experience, whipping him with a belt will cause him a lot of pain, but it will not break his bones or endanger his life.”
Gu Le agreed, "Xiao Ma, you've thought this through very well. Someone as reckless as the abbot could easily kill someone with a single punch. If someone dies, it will become a serious case, and the county public security bureau will send people to investigate."
“Godfather, I also had the abbot cover his head with silk stockings so that Gu Tian couldn’t see his face clearly.”
"Yes, we need to pay attention to these details. Oh, and there's one more thing: after the abbot beats up Gu Tian, we need to set up a smokescreen."
"Godfather, what does this mean?"
“You must tell the abbot to say: If you ever seduce my wife again, I will kill you. From now on, you are not allowed to step into Qinglong Town again. If I see you again, I will bury you alive.”
Clearly, Gu Le wanted to create a misunderstanding for Gu Tian, that the person who beat him up was mistaken.
Although it was a misunderstanding, Gu Tian never dared to step into Qinglong Town again. As long as this goal was achieved, Gu Le would be satisfied.
“Godfather, I’ve remembered. Tomorrow, I will repeatedly tell the abbot to make sure he says this sentence.”
Gu Le chuckled and said, "My cousin has a problem, which is that he's a bit of a lecher. He can't take his eyes off women. He worked as a temporary worker in Qinglong Town for several years, and he spent a lot of money on prostitutes."
Ma Yunfei was a little surprised; he hadn't expected Gu Tian to have this hobby.
"Godfather, Uncle likes to play around with women? How come I didn't know that?"
"Xiao Ma, you're so focused on buying yams, how can you pay attention to anything else?"
Suddenly, Gu Le became serious and said, "Xiao Ma, I heard that Li Sha and Er Lv broke up. Did you know about this?"
Ma Yunfei shook his head and replied, "I haven't run into Li Sha or seen Erlv these past two days."
"Little Ma, don't interfere. Erlv likes Li Sha. You should mediate between them and make sure they don't break up."
"Godfather, I'm a married man. Since I got married, I haven't been interested in other women. How could I possibly ruin Li Sha and Er Lv's relationship? I wouldn't."
“Xiao Ma, from now on, you need to stay away from Li Sha. Since Er Lv suspects that you and Li Sha are having an affair, you should avoid suspicion.”
"Godfather, I understand. I will definitely be more careful in the future."
Mayor Gu Le's warning to Ma Yunfei was unusual, meaning that Gu Le had concluded that Ma Yunfei was primarily responsible for Li Sha's breakup with Er Lv.
Ma Yunfei left the town mayor's house and was preparing to walk back to Majiawan.
After walking a few steps, I ran into Li Sha.
Li Sha greeted him cheerfully, "Brother Ma, you haven't gone home yet? It's so late, be careful not to get shot while walking alone at night."
Ma Yunfei shrugged and said, "I haven't offended anyone, and I don't have any money. No one will shoot me in the back unless you, Li Sha, send someone to attack me."
Li Sha sneered and said disdainfully, "Brother Ma, even if I killed everyone in the world, I wouldn't kill you."
Li Sha's words were ambiguous, which alerted Ma Yunfei.
He couldn't quite figure out what this young woman was thinking. She kept saying she looked down on the country bumpkins of Qinglong Town, but she always kept coming to bother him.
Now, both Erlv and the town mayor suspect that Ma Yunfei interfered, causing Erlv and Li Sha to break up.
The town mayor also warned Ma Yunfei tonight.
If anyone saw Ma Yunfei and Li Sha talking late at night, they would definitely misunderstand that they were on a date.
Not wanting to get into trouble, Ma Yunfei quickly said, "Li Sha, it's getting late, I need to hurry home. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
