After Du Yi left, Zhang Xiong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then the group of five returned to Zhuo County.

After arriving home, Zhang Xiong took Zhang Fei to thank Ma Chao for his gratitude. It can be said that Ma Chao helped a lot, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was the benefactor of the whole family. He was embarrassed to punish Ma Chao. He asked Zhang Xiong to praise him as if he was a great hero, who was willing to help others, and he was willing to save others from danger.

In fact, he knew the truth very well. In the end, Ma Chao couldn't listen anymore, so he had to say, "Uncle, don't be polite. This is what people among us should do, and my family teacher often teaches me this way."

Zhang Xiong hurriedly said, "It seems that the commander is a noble man!"

Ma Chao did not deny this, "Uncle, since I call you uncle, don't call me brothers from now on, just call me Meng Qi!"

When Zhang Xiong heard this, he could get closer to Ma Chao. "I've said that, that's fine. Boy, come and see your elder brother Meng Qi. If you are brothers in the future, be careful not to beat you!" He called Zhang Fei beside him and asked him to call him Brother Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was so happy that he thought to himself that Zhang Xiong was indeed up to the point that Master Zhang San called him his eldest brother, and that would be much easier from now on.

If you call someone a big brother, Zhang Fei may not agree. But he did not reject Ma Chao's words. In terms of age, Ma Chao is one year older than him and has better martial arts skills than him. But to be honest, this is only temporary. What's more important is that someone saved his father, prescribed a prescription to control his condition, and now he saves his family.

I will repay you with kindness. These combined together are enough to make me call myself the eldest brother. Another point is that although the eldest brother is a novice, everything except this is very good. He can match me with him in terms of character and temper.

So the third master didn't say anything and regarded Ma Chao as his elder brother. "Brother is here, please accept a greeting from me!"

Ma Chao quickly helped him up, "Good brother!" patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder again.

"I didn't bring much to you today. When you have the chance to go to Longxi, I will make up for the meeting gift for you!"

Ma Chao had already made plans, and Zhang Fei only smiled beside him after hearing this.

It has been more than three months since the last time we competed with the Du family, and Ma Chao has also lived here for more than three months. Zhang Xiong's condition was controlled by Ma Chao's prescription. Although he could not recover, he was in danger of life at least for a while and was in good spirits every day.

Zhang Fei still often goes to Shan Middle School to learn martial arts. He rarely sees him every month. He also said that he wants to make up for the rest of his father's illness. In fact, he suffered a great blow after seeing Ma Chao and Cui An's martial arts skills. Now he is working hard.

Although we rarely see Zhang Fei, this does not prevent Ma Chao from enhancing his friendship with him. The reason why Ma Chao has lived here for so long is to establish a good relationship with Zhang Fei. Now, his achievements have been significant and his relationship with the Third Master is already very good. Ma Chao's purpose has been almost done, and he was thinking about when he would say goodbye to Zhang Xiong and his son and leave.

That night, Zhang Xiong was still having dinner with Ma Chao and the others. During the meal, Ma Chao told him about his intention to leave.

"I know Mengqi, you will leave sooner or later, so my uncle doesn't force you to keep you, but you won't wait for Fei'er to come back?"

Ma Chao smiled, "I won't wait anymore. My second brother will only feel sad when he comes back. I can only ask my uncle to convey his apology on my behalf. However, my uncle can tell my second brother that he must come to Longxi if he has the chance in the future, and I will wait for him there!"

Early the next morning, Ma Chao and Cui An left Zhang's mansion and left Zhuo County. Zhang Xiong kept sending Ma Chao and the others outside the city.

"Uncle, don't have to send me off again. You should take good care of your body at home!"

"Okay, just listen to Meng Qi, you guys go, I'll go back soon!" Zhang Xiong said.

When Ma Chao and Cui An heard this, they turned their heads and then left without looking back. Zhang Xiong looked at the gradually blurred figure and said to Zhang Sheng beside him: "This child will definitely not be the thing in the pool in the future!" Zhang Sheng nodded after hearing this, and then went home with Zhang Xiong.

Three days later, Ma Chao and the others came to Wuzhong City in Youbeiping. Wuzhong City was incomparable to Zhuo County. However, although the sparrow was small, there were not big places, and there were even fewer people, there were many things that should have. The two happened to enter the city early in the morning. After paying the money to enter Wuzhong City, they led their horses on the street.

As he walked, Ma Chao found that there was a group of people surrounding him, and the streets that were not wide were almost blocked. This was not common in places with such a small population. It was said that Ma Chao did not like to watch, but in his previous life, many Chinese people liked this. Seeing this, he smiled slightly, and it turned out that this was also passed down from his ancestors.

He was not interested, but he was blocked from the road, so he had to let Cui An lead the horse and go forward to see what was going on.

Ma Chao relied on his own skills to enter the crowd. He wanted to see what was going on, but when he saw it, he couldn't help but frown.

It turned out that there was an old man setting up a stall there, but there was nothing on the surface. He just held a sword in his arms and said it was a sword. In fact, Ma Chao couldn't be sure whether it was, it was very similar anyway.

Looking at this old man again, you can't tell how old he is. His face has not been washed for a long time, his hair is tied in a bunch, and he is even more beggar than a beggar. And it gives Ma Chao the feeling that the old man seems to have stepped into a coffin with one foot, and it is possible to pass through at any time, so he frowned.

At this time, I heard someone next to me talking, "This old man has been here for two days and doesn't eat or drink. It seems that he can't survive today!"

Another person responded, "You really believe it? Just an old liar, who came here the day before yesterday and said he wanted to sell the sword in his arms. Guess how much he wants?"

Several people next to him shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

The person who spoke before looked like he knew you didn't know, so he continued, "One thousand gold! He actually offered to pay one thousand gold! Everyone is one thousand gold, not money, but gold!"

Sure enough, the people next to him who heard him interrupted: "One thousand gold? You heard it right, is he crazy about money?"

"Who knows, a thousand gold, in this life, no, I probably wouldn't have it even for dozens of lifetimes."

As soon as this person finished speaking, another person also said: "Don't say there is anything else. I guess you have never seen him! I want to see if the old man's arms is a sword, but the things in his arms are really worth a thousand gold. Do you think he can be like this?"

When the people next to him answered, they all agreed, "Yes!" "That's it!" "How is it possible!" Everyone nodded constantly.

Ma Chao frowned even deeper as he listened to everyone's discussion. He thought to himself that the sword would not talk about it for now, but the old man is like this, and no one will take care of it, help him. Not only did he not help, but he was also watching the fun.

Maybe they all think that the old man is a liar, so they are all watching jokes. Yes, if the liar is, he will never starve himself to death. So there are so many people around, waiting to see how the liar act.

However, Ma Chao didn't think so. Although he didn't believe that the old man's arms were worth a thousand gold, he knew that the old man was definitely not a liar. He could feel that the old man was not going to be able to do so, and he might die at any time.

Since he encountered this, it was impossible for him to ignore it. Ma Chao quickly walked out of the crowd, came to the old man, and carried the old man on his back. No one stopped the people watching next to him or said anything. Some people might even think that Ma Chao and the old man were in the same group.

Ma Chao walked out of the crowd with the old man on his back. It was meaningless to watch the scammers were taken away by his accomplices. Almost all of them were dispersed. Only a few curious people were still paying attention to Ma Chao's actions.

Ma Chao came to Cui An, "Fuda, let's go!"

So Ma Chao carried the old man in front and Cui An led the horse behind. The two came to a porridge stall. Ma Chao ordered a bowl of porridge. He knew that if he was hungry for too long, he would never eat too much, so the porridge was just right.

I quickly fed the old man porridge, but unfortunately I only had a few sips of it, but only a few sips of the porridge made the old man barely speak.

Two words were spit out of the old man's mouth. Thank you. Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly fed the old man a few more mouthfuls of porridge. This time he went in a lot. Since the old man could speak, Ma Chao would feel much more at ease for the time being.

But after only a while, the old man suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Ma Chao. This sudden situation made a bad word flash into Ma Chao's mind: Rebirth!

The old man grabbed Ma Chao's arm with his hand. His hand had not been washed for many days, but Ma Chao didn't bother with it.

I heard the old man say to Ma Chao: "I want it, no, this, this, give it to you."

As he said that, he handed Ma Chao the thing that was suspected to be a sword in his other hand. Ma Chao had tried to take this thing out of the old man's hand before, but for some reason the old man protected it tightly in his arms with his right hand, so Ma Chao had no choice but to do so. He was not interested in this thing anyway.

However, he did not expect that the old man would give him this thing, and he would not accept it. Even though he didn't know what this thing was, judging by the old man's appearance, it was definitely something that was more important than his life.

Perhaps seeing Ma Chao's hesitation, the old man said in his faint voice: "This thing has a fate, and has it, and will get it!"

Ma Chao was even more confused when he heard this. What kind of person is destined to be? Is this thing a destined to be with him?

He pointed his finger at his nose and asked, "Old man, are you talking about me?"

The old man nodded slightly when he heard this. Ma Chao wanted to ask the old man a few words, but seeing that the old man was like this, he would really die with his eyes open.

There was no choice but to take it over and ask the old man by the way: "May I ask, what is this?"

The old man smiled and shook his head, "So, later, I will know.

After hearing this, Ma Chao didn't ask again. He knew that he would ask in vain. The old man wouldn't say too much.

The old man said half of the sentence to Ma Chao, "You are..."

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, the person left. Ma Chao had no time to think about what the old man said, and he didn't care about what the old man gave him. He was more sad now, and even if he gave him rare treasures, he couldn't change his current mood. The old man left, but Ma Chao thought he could save him, but he still failed.

This old man is just one of the great men. I don’t know how many people like the old man are in the whole world. Even if Ma Chao is determined, he doesn’t have that great ability to save him. The greater his ability, the greater the responsibility. It seems that he really has to go to that point. When he has great ability, he believes that things like the old man today will make it happen less.

He felt that what he could do now was to move forward step by step, step by step, and work harder, and he really didn't want to see something like an old man happen again.

Ma Chao prepared the funeral for the old man. This incident touched him a lot and felt extremely uncomfortable. Cui An also knew that Ma Chao was in a bad mood, so he almost didn't bother him. Most of the time he played with the thing the old man gave to Ma Chao. Of course, he didn't know what it was, but this did not hinder his curiosity.

Even Ma Chao, the old man's name, was deeply blamed himself. In the end, he could only carve a sword tomb on the tombstone to show respect for the old man.

Ma Chao spends more time alone in a daze, and he will work harder from now on to prevent such things from happening on this land.
