Suddenly, eight or nine people rushed out from around the big pine tree and surrounded Gu Tian.
Gu Tian seemed to have anticipated this, as he pulled a pebble the size of a ping-pong ball from his pocket and threw it at a person running towards him.
The pebble struck the man squarely on the forehead, and he cried out in pain before collapsing to the ground.
There was a gap in the encirclement, and Gu Tian broke through it.
Several men gave chase.
After running a short distance, there was a small river. The river was not wide, only fifty or sixty meters wide, but it was the summer flood season, and the current was rapid.
Gu Tian plunged down into the water, and after a while, his head emerged from the opposite bank. He glanced back a few times, then calmly climbed ashore and disappeared into the bushes.
None of the men who chased after him could swim, and they could only watch helplessly as Gu Tian escaped.
Chang Xiaobao ran over and asked, "Why didn't you chase after them?"
Several men said in unison, "Deputy Mayor, none of us can swim. If we jump into the water, it'll be like throwing dumplings into a pot."
Chang Xiaobao sighed and said, "I underestimated Gu Tian. I didn't expect him to run so fast and be able to swim. Now that he's gotten away, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch him."
Hiding in the bushes, Ma Yunfei witnessed everything and couldn't help but sigh, "This Gu Tian is really lucky. It seems I'm in for trouble."
Gu Tian was surrounded and arrested, so he would definitely suspect two people: Gu Le and Ma Yunfei.
Ma Yunfei returned to Qinglong Town and said to the abbot, "Third brother, someone is trying to harm me. From now on, you must stay with me at all times. Tonight, set up a tent in front of my house."
The abbot asked nervously, "Boss, who would try to kill you? Why don't we strike first instead of just waiting to be killed?"
"Third brother, the person who attacked me is very well hidden. It's still difficult to find out who it is. We can only be extra careful."
Ma Yunfei guessed: Gu Tian is a reckless guy. Last time, he was beaten half to death by the abbot and threatened to bury him alive. He thought Gu Tian would never come to Qinglong Town again, but he didn't expect him to be so audacious.
In the afternoon, Ma Yunfei was busy at the sales station and dared not leave.
Around five o'clock, Ye Ya suddenly ran over and said, "Brother Ma, it seems your cousin has come again."
Ma Yunfei shuddered in fright and asked, "Where?"
“Brother Ma, he’s right across the street, in the courtyard of that house with the blue tile roof. He keeps peeking out half his head and looking into our sales station. I can recognize him; he’s your uncle.”
Ma Yunfei glanced into the courtyard a few times but didn't see any heads sticking out.
"Wild girl, are you seeing things?"
"Brother Ma, don't forget, I'm a hunter."
Ma Yunfei said nervously, "Ye Ya, you...you sneak over there and carefully check if he is my cousin. If he is, you'd better catch him and tie him up."
Ma Yunfei thought: Why not go all the way and capture this Gu Tian, then hand him over to the deputy mayor?
Ye Ya asked, "Brother Ma, I asked Sister Yu Yan, and she said that this uncle is the town mayor's cousin. Brother Ma, why did you arrest the town mayor's cousin? Aren't you afraid of offending the town mayor?"
"Wild girl, he is indeed the mayor's cousin, and it is the mayor who wants to arrest him."
Ye Ya asked, puzzled, "Why did the mayor arrest his cousin?"
Ma Yunfei felt that Ye Ya was asking too many questions, so he casually replied, "Even brothers can turn against each other, let alone cousins. There's nothing strange about it."
The wild duck said, "Alright, then I'll go."
She ran to the warehouse, found a piece of rope, and tied it around her waist.
"Wild girl, you have to be careful. I heard that guy knows martial arts."
“He has martial arts skills, and so do I. Perfect, I can spar with him.”
Ye Ya walked in another direction, bypassing the sales station and secretly went to that courtyard.
She climbed over the wall and peered into the courtyard.
Gu Tian was sitting under the courtyard wall, munching on a sesame seed cake. Judging from how he wolfed it down, he looked like he hadn't eaten for three days.
Wild Girl leaped over the courtyard wall.
Gu Tian was startled and stood up in a panic. He took a pebble out of his pocket and threw it at Ye Ya.
Wild Girl tilted her head and dodged the pebble.
"Hehe... I didn't expect you to have the skill of throwing stones, not bad! It's a pity that you're not accurate."
Wild Girl clapped her hands and said with a mocking smile.
Gu Tian looked closely and realized that the person who jumped into the yard was Ye Ya.
He calmed down and asked, "What are you doing here? I thought you were a bad guy. I'm sorry, I hit the wrong person."
Wild Girl shrugged and said, "You didn't hit me, so why should you apologize to me? To be honest, your throwing speed is too slow. It's okay if you hit an ordinary person, but if you encounter someone with martial arts skills, you can only throw stones into the air."
"Wild girl, did Little Ma send you?"
"No, it's me who found you and wanted to see what was going on. I'm asking you: why have you come looking for Brother Ma so many times?"
"It's none of your business, this is between the two of us."
Ye Ya walked over, and with a swift kick, she knocked Gu Tian to the ground.
Gu Tian was struggling to get up when Ye Ya stepped on his foot.
"Let me ask you one more time: Why did you come looking for Brother Ma?"
"I answered that this is between the two of us and has nothing to do with you."
Ye Ya untied the rope from her waist and said, "I'm sorry, I have to tie you up and then hand you over to Brother Ma. If you behave and let me tie you up, you'll suffer less. If you don't behave, I'll beat you half to death."
Gu Tian was a smart man. He knew he couldn't beat Ye Ya, and besides, he couldn't escape either.
This morning, even seven or eight strong men couldn't catch up with him.
However, this wild girl is different. She has martial arts skills. In terms of running, Gu Tian is definitely no match for her. In terms of fighting, he is no match for her either. He can only obediently listen to her and do as she pleases, otherwise he will suffer a great loss.
"Hey girl, I'm Brother Ma's cousin, so please be polite to me."
"Heh... Even if they are father and son, they would still go on a killing spree. You and Brother Ma are not relatives. Strictly speaking, you two are not relatives. Don't try to get close to Brother Ma in front of me. I won't fall for your tricks."
Ye Ya tied Gu Tian up tightly.
"Wild girl, you've really messed up the Dragon King's temple! You're family, but you don't recognize your own family! Quickly, bring Xiao Ma over, I need to talk to him."
Ye Ya tied Gu Tian up, then kicked him and said, "You wait here, I'll go call Brother Ma. You better not try to run away, or I'll beat you until you cry for your parents."
Gu Tian obediently said, "I...I will wait here obediently."
