Chapter 3 - The Master Who Knocked Ma Tian’en over (1/2)
Proofread by Fu Tianying
Compared with night time, the street in the daytime was another scene. The shop signs in the street were waving and bristling; the street vendors were shouting with charm; and some entertainers were performing acrobatics, attracting a cheer from the crowd.
A few children were singing while running around: if in fatigue you travel, next year please pay a visit to the second dam. The scenery of both sides can be compared with a beautiful picture. Five miles away to the east is the third dam…” The children’s voices were so clear and sweet.
Along with other sidekicks, Ma Tian’en swaggered around in the street. Noticing the children were running over, she threw a few copper coins to them. Then the children picked up the copper coins happily, shouting in chorus: thank you, Hero Ma.”
Ma Tian’en didn’t think it was a big deal and said: go and buy some sugar gourds
At this moment, she saw a child running hurriedly toward him, as if someone was chasing behind. The child was too hurry-scurry to see the way and hit upon Ma Tian’en. He suddenly fell onto the floor and hastily got up, grabbing Ma Tian’en’s clothes to hide behind her. “Help me, hero! Someone wants to abduct me,” the child cried.
At this time, a scholar-like young man ran over and stopped in panting in front of Ma Tian’en.
Ma Tian’en looked at the scholar and thought he looked kind of familiar, but cannot remember where they met. Gentle and handsome as he looked, it is surprising that he was a trader in human beings. Although Ma Tian’en hadn’t read many books, fighting is her strong suit. Since childhood, she relied most on swiftness when fighting with others.
he scholar was about to talk, but the words were not uttered. Ma Tian’en lifted her leg. What surprising is that the scholar looked weak, but reacted quickly. He shunned swiftly and Ma Tian’en missed. Failing to control her body, she fell down toward the earth. And the scholar, who wanted to pick up Ma Tian’en, didn’t expect that it had such inertia. Ma Tian’en pounced onto the scholar and they two fell down.
Ma Tian’en wanted to stand up. She looked up while the scholar was also up, and the two heads bumped together again. Ma Tian’en jumped up from the scholar and shouted, “You are such a fucking trader in human beings! How dare you to hit me! today I will teach you a lesson.
At this moment, Tian Fugui and other people also came over, surrounding the scholar
People on the street gathered round and whispered to each other.
“Ma Tian’en is bullying people again!”
“Master Ma is such a nice man. How could he have such a black sheep?”
“This scholar is an honest young man. How could he offend the devil? Today must be his bad day.
These comments were not conducive to Ma Tian’en. Hearing these, she suddenly got angry, “Are you blind? I am getting rid of the cruel and pacify the good. He is a trader in human beings.”
At this time, the scholar also stood up and tidied his clothes. He straightened the square scarf on his head. Although it was only a simple long blue gown and, it still revealed an elegant style after tangling with Ma.
Compared with the furious Ma Tian’en, the scholar seems to be magnanimous and calm. The scholar held his fist on hips, “My name is Wu Zhong. Not before long, a little thief just stole my purse, so I chased him here.”
“Your mere words cannot persuade me. Where is the kid? Ma Tian’en hurried to find the child, but it was in vain.
“Boss, we just thought to protect you and failed to pay attention to that kid…” Tian Fugui and his fellows looked around at each other and then uttered in a timid manner.
” Do I need your protection?” Ma Tian’en then realized that she might be used by that kid as a tool. But she was reluctant to admit it.
