Chapter 147 Marshal Ma's Redemption 2
The door next to the cell wasn't locked. When I opened it, a pungent, sour smell hit me, and I almost fell over from the stench.
Ma Shuai was completely unaffected and walked straight in.
I paused for a moment before following them in.
After entering, I looked around.
The room is about 30 square meters. There is a passageway in the middle, and more than a dozen straw mats are placed on the left and right sides against the walls.
There was a stone trough placed against the wall at the very back. The trough was about 20 centimeters high. Ma Shuai was standing in front of the trough, staring at it.
Out of curiosity, I covered my nose and went to the stone trough. Just one glance and the vein in my neck twitched twice.
Inside the stone trough, dozens of pink meat dumplings were wriggling, many more of them bitten into pieces and unrecognizable.
These pink meatballs are baby mice.
I used to wonder what those nearly meter-long rats did for a living.
Now I know.
There is no better or more nutritious food than these baby mice.
Rats reproduce so quickly, what a brilliant idea it is to feed rats with rats!
Let's go!
After staring at the blood-stained stone trough for nearly half a minute, Ma Shuai turned around and stopped looking at the dozens of increasingly weak meat dumplings in the trough.
Looking at those straw mats again, I realized what they were—these were the dens of those big rats.
Judging from the number of straw mats, there were as many as thirty large rats here at one time.
After we came out, we went straight to the next room.
The smell was a little less in this room. The room was full of wooden shelves, and I knew what this place was for after just a couple of glances.
This is the breeding area for normal-sized mice.
It's really convenient to breed in one room and feed in another.
After walking around inside, we followed Ma Shuai out.
After walking around the two rooms, Ma Shuai's face turned ashen.
If you continue walking forward, you'll reach the incineration room.
As soon as I entered, I smelled a peculiar oily odor.
I didn't dare sniff, because I knew exactly where the smell was coming from.
Upon entering, Ma Shuai went straight to the incinerator.
Arriving at the incinerator, he stared at the corpse-carrying opening and sighed. He then raised the Martial King Whip and struck the furnace wall three times.
As he struck the furnace, a wail came from inside.
Faced with the cries, Ma Shuai slowly opened the furnace door, raised his voice, and called out in an unusual tone, "We're home!"
He shouted as he swung the King Wu Whip, producing a series of crisp sounds.
With the sound of the whip, a gust of wind rushed out of the furnace, circled Ma Shuai twice, and then disappeared.
After the wind subsided, Ma Shuai stared at the crematorium for a while before turning around.
The next few rooms include a laboratory, a data room, and a storage room for supplies, which resembles a warehouse.
After looking around, we found another exit inside.
This exit has an upward ladder.
After climbing the ladder, Ma Shuai swayed for a moment before recovering.
"Mr. Ma, are you alright?" Old Li asked with concern.
"fine!"
Ma Shuai let out a breath, looking at the exit with a complicated expression.
"I'm snapping out of it!"
Fatty Lin nudged me quietly and gestured towards Ma Shuai with his lips.
The meaning is simple: the old immortal returned to his own body, and General Ma returned.
"Mr. Ma, what's the next step?"
Old Li asked.
"Linzi, what do you guys think?"
Ma Shuai didn't answer, but looked at Lin Zi instead.
"Report this!"
Lin Zi said.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you to handle!" Ma Shuai nodded.
These words struck me. What do you mean by "handing it over to you"? That seems a bit hasty, doesn't it? Or rather, does "handing it over to you" mean handing it over to the person behind you?
Now I am increasingly certain that Ma Shuai was forced to come out and treat Lao Xian's injury, not that he wanted to do so himself.
There are many haunted places in Shencheng. He could have slowly performed the rituals to help the old immortal recover from his injuries. There was no need to rush and risk his life like this.
Especially this time, if it weren't for Long Nier, we would definitely have become food for those rats.
"Ni'er, Thirteen, Xiao Lin, thank you so much for this! I'll give you a big red envelope later!"
When he noticed me looking at him, Ma Shuai smiled at us and stood up by supporting himself on the ground.
"Uncle, the red envelope has to be big!" I joked.
"Don't worry, it's not a small matter!" Ma Shuai said with a smile.
After resting for a while, we headed back.
On the way back, Grandpa Jiang kept smacking his lips, sometimes saying that the Japanese devils were utterly wicked, and sometimes saying that he hadn't been able to help in this matter and that he felt a little guilty for earning 200,000 yuan.
Back at the parking spot, Ma Shuai took out 100,000 yuan and handed it to Master Jiang, saying, "Master Jiang, take this 100,000 yuan. Don't give it all to the kids; keep some for yourself for emergencies. In case something happens someday, you'll have the money to tide you over, don't you think?"
"Mr. Ma, I can't accept this money. I didn't help you at all except lead the way!" Master Jiang was a little embarrassed to accept the money.
"Take it. No matter what, we men have walked through the gates of hell together!" Ma Shuai forced the money into Jiang Ye's arms.
"Alright, Mr. Ma, I'll take the money. If there's another job like this in the future, I'll show you the way for free!" Master Jiang looked at Ma Shuai and said through gritted teeth.
"Okay, I'll call you again if I need anything next time!"
Ma Shuai patted Jiang Ye on the shoulder.
An hour and a half later, we took Grandpa Jiang home.
After seeing Master Jiang off and returning to the car, Ma Shuai looked at us, unzipped his jacket, and took out the old immortal from his chest.
"alright!"
I glanced at it and saw that the gash that had run across the old immortal's chest and abdomen had been sealed up.
Judging from the current situation, it should be fully recovered in less than a week.
"alright!"
Ma Shuai nodded.
"Chirp chirp!"
Little Ba then appeared, stretched out its pink little hand, pointed at the old immortal, called out twice, and nodded.
Upon hearing this, the old immortal lifted his eyelids, glanced at Xiao Ba, and twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile.
Without a doubt, Xiao Ba must have said something nice.
"Hachiko is a good boy!"
Ma Shuai smiled and looked at me, saying, "Thirteen, I'd like to invite you to stay in Shenyang for a few days. Once Lao Xian is fully recovered, I'll send you back to Beijing!"
"OK!"
I nodded and did not refuse.
"Besides this, I also want to give you guys a piece of my mind. Qian Xiaogang's gotten too cocky, haven't he? I'll teach him a lesson!" Ma Shuai said.
"Uncle, you don't need to bother with such a small matter!"
I said.
"This is no small matter!"
Ma Shuai snorted and said, "With Yingzi, that bigmouth, around, everyone knows our two families have been friends for decades. That bastard Qian Xiaogang dared to treat you poorly because he doesn't take me seriously. I have to let him know how many eyes Lord Ma has!"
"Uncle, you really don't need to do anything. I used a little trick on him when I left!" Fatty Lin said.
"Your methods are yours, but I'll show him mine. Everyone says I'm involved in organized crime, so I'll show him what I'm capable of!" Ma Shuai said coldly.
