A soldier carried water to a villager's home.

Unexpectedly, he had just arrived at the gate where only half of the door was opened, and before he could even cross the threshold, he saw an old woman with little feet standing at the gate.

He looked at the warrior lightly and said calmly: "Just put the water at the door."

Ma Hongji took a few guards and hummed a song. He was so happy that he had just left the door less than twenty meters away. When he saw this scene, he suddenly became angry: You, an old widow, are you too unkind, others kindly help you carry water, but you don’t even let the door in. Is that true?

The happy mood suddenly became a little unhappy, but after all, I was the leader of the clan and I didn't have to worry about this little thing with a widow.

The young man was not angry at all, but instead smiled and said to the old woman: "Auntie, it doesn't matter. I'm fine anyway, and I have the strength to help you fill the water tank as soon as possible, right? If you want to drink water and chop firewood in the future, just call me, I..."

"I dare not take it!" Unexpectedly, the old woman didn't even finish hearing the other party's words, and directly interrupted: "Although the old woman is a little older, she still has the strength to carry water, so she doesn't have to ask for help."

When he heard this, the young man was not angry and explained, "Auntie, I don't mean this, I..."

The old woman also interrupted him and waved impatiently: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you, you can go quickly."

Then he turned around and closed the door, and there was a loud complaint: "Really, I said why did my shoulder pole and bucket disappear early in the morning? It turned out that it was borrowed by someone. Humph! There is no rules."

Ma Hongji, who was standing aside, was so angry that he almost stomped his feet and asked someone to rush in and teach the old woman a lesson. But if you think about it carefully, this old woman is not only her distant relative, but also her man also blocked the bullet for her father to protect her father. For this reason, she helped her a lot...

Forget it, forget it, I can’t afford to mess with you, can’t hide it?

Thinking of this, I originally planned to step forward to comfort the awkward soldier, but I had no idea at this time... I quickly covered my face and left to avoid being discovered, saying that I would not discipline my tribe.

Before I could walk a few steps, I heard the soldier shouting to the old woman through the gate: "Auntie, I have put the bucket and water next to the door. Pay attention when you go out so as not to touch it... I'll leave first, and come to fetch you water tomorrow."

Ma Hongji didn't have much thought. At most, he felt that this young man was turned down late today and was going to come tomorrow?

The key point is that this young man has a very good attitude. Even if he is sarcastic and sarcastic by the old woman, he is not angry at all, and he is very interested in seeking abuse. This makes Ma Hongji look at the young man with a different look.

But think about it, maybe it was just an exception, so Ma Hongji just looked back at the young man, remembered the young man who left a deep impression on him, and kept walking with his hands behind his back.

Now, his originally happy mood has long disappeared, and has long become depressed: if you want to discipline this old woman, you don’t dare; if you don’t discipline, you are embarrassed. Don’t mention this depression.

After walking a few steps, the children's laughter and happy screams were heard from afar, which made Ma Hongji look forward to it.

When I walked over, I saw several girls in assault regiment uniforms playing the game of catching eagles with a large group of children.

The children laughed, the girls were happy, and Ma Hongji was also happy to see it: This should be done under his control. The more laughter, the stronger his governance ability is.

But before Ma Hongji could approach with a smile, he saw a young woman walking out of the left side of the street where the children were playing, shouting: "Ergouzi, take your sister back."

The child is simple and does not understand the thoughts of these adults. He is so happy that he is a little reluctant and begging, "Mom, I want to play for a while."

"What are you playing? Get back to me."

The three children walked over reluctantly.

But the woman still shouted, "I don't understand the rules at all! What do you think of crazy all day long? If you are kidnapped, I'll see you..."

Before he finished speaking, the woman found Ma Hongji standing there with a blue face and staring at him fiercely. She was shocked, but after snorting heavily at the girls who had seen him, she quickly pulled the child into the house and closed the door.

Ma Hongji was so angry! Don’t mention it.

People take your child to play with, and they don’t bully your child, nor do they beat them. It’s just that everyone is happy. Do you have to be so arrogant and scold them? Besides, even if you want to take your child into the house, but others don’t mess with you, can you treat them like this?

In fact, this is also a misunderstanding among the villagers: in the villagers' thoughts, no matter how many people came, as long as Li Jing took the lead, as long as they came, they were Li Jing's subordinates, then they were definitely all bandits. Even if they became the Eighth Route Army now, Li Jing was a big bandit before, and now they are still big bandits, and his men are naturally regarded as bandits.

Especially, seeing that some of the people brought by Li Jing were bandits from that time, then, naturally, I think that there are so many bandits mixed in. If you want to say that the one you are not bandits, who is willing to believe it?

Even the girls were regarded as female bandits by the villagers.

The only difference is that these girls are more beautiful and energetic. They have less murderous aura than the legendary female bandits, but they have a little more heroic appearance. But... they are still female bandits.

And this was also because Ma Hongji was negligent. When he shouted in the middle of the night yesterday, he didn't say it clearly, or rather, Ma Hongji didn't expect this at all. How could he know that because of this seemingly trivial problem, the villagers caused such a big misunderstanding.

I gave Li Ling's men equal treatment - either a male bandit or a female bandit. Even if you are a female, even if you wear glasses, just pretend I don't know that you are just a bandit pretending to be gentle?

After all, when the bandits attacked Majiapo Village, the damage caused to the village was greatly affected by the attack, so the villagers always remembered that it was naturally impossible to resolve it in just one or two sentences.

"You guys say, am I too relaxed to the people in the village? They have all developed a stick and don't even know how to treat guests."

How dare a few guards answer the conversation? They all bowed their heads.

The woman's husband was the deputy captain of the village guard team just now. She was not only higher in level than their guards, but also Ma Hongji's confidant.

It is natural that Ma Hongji could not teach the woman a lesson for this little thing, because he taught the woman a lesson, which was to slap her husband in the face, which might leave dissatisfaction in his husband's heart. It is really not cost-effective to make a confidant disheartened for this little thing... So, although the woman was shocked, she still dared to snort at the girls.

And such a relationship has both advantages and disadvantages for Ma Hongji.

The advantage is that it can better unite people's hearts. After all, if you have something to do and do not care or not, you will subconsciously protect your family.

The disadvantage is just like this now. If you want to discipline it, it is not convenient to start, so as not to lose your loyal confidant heart for this little thing.

Ma Hongji sighed, walked over and bowed to several embarrassing girls and said, "Several girls are incompetent in discipline, and you are wronged."

When the girls heard this, they all said it was okay.

Seeing that the children were also a little overwhelmed by the atmosphere, Ma Hongji simply took out a few copper plates from his pocket and said to the oldest child: "Please take the money to sell some candy in the village store and share it with everyone, so that you can continue to play happily."

The children immediately started yelling, but they still took a few girls loyally and shouted to buy candy quickly and eat together.

When Ma Hongji saw the child laughing, he couldn't help but feel much more peaceful inside.

Keep walking forward with your hands behind your back.

But as he left, his anger roared and rushed to his head.

I was about to walk to the restaurant where I had breakfast, suddenly, a guard next to me pointed at the other end of the alley and said, "Class leader, there are so many people around there, what must have happened?"

After looking at it, there was a group of people gathered together and I didn't know what they were doing. However, seeing them whispering together, something must have happened.

Ma Hongji immediately walked through the alley and then saw clearly that there was not a small group of people opposite him, but no less than two hundred people, both young, young, and young, and children.

Ma Hongji felt that he was so angry early this morning. If he was angry again, he might not be able to control his anger. Therefore, in order to be as calm as possible, he did not intend to go over directly, but instead sent someone to figure things out first. In this way, he could at least reduce the strong aggrievance caused by directly facing anger that could not be vented.

"Who is that?" Ma Hongji pointed to the surrounded family and asked the guards.

"Ma Ermao's home."

“In the past, ask what happened?”

"yes!"

A guard was full of curiosity when he went there, but when he came back, he was full of strangeness and hesitant.

"What are you doing in a hesitant way? Hurry up."

It turned out that Li Jing had apologized early in the morning with the people who participated in that war, with a large amount of food and cloth.

In that battle, each household was not injured, with 10 kilograms of grain and two pieces of oceans; each household was injured, with 20 kilograms of grain, one piece of cloth and five pieces of oceans; and each household was killed, with 100 kilograms of grain, two piece of cloth and twenty pieces of oceans.

For ordinary people at that time, this was definitely a generous gift, and everyone in the village had a share, which definitely reflected Li Jing's sincerity in apologizing. After all, even in a wealthy village like Majiapo, some people could not eat enough.

But the blame is that Li Jing has left more than a dozen families, but none of them is willing to accept them.

"Any household was confiscated?" Ma Hongji was a little surprised, afraid that he would hear it wrong.

"No household was confiscated."
