Chapter 733: Let the Bullets Fly

Huo Yuan is worthy of being Huo Yuan.

The reason he is called "keeping the happiness for himself and leaving the sorrow for the readers" is because his books are painful enough.

In many of his books, the ultimate fate of the protagonist is depressing.

And sometimes, the reason Huo Yuan can perform so consistently, stinging the readers every time, is actually because he thinks about many problems and thinks them through thoroughly.

He can perceive deep-seated things.

Why would Huang Silang and Hu Wan set up a trap in advance, directly calling over the jelly noodle seller to threaten him?

Because people who are pure and kind-hearted are the easiest to scheme against.

They calculated that he would go to eat the jelly noodles and would go to support this peddler's business.

In the movie Drama, it is not explicitly stated what Hu Wan and Huang Silang were thinking.

This is Huo Yuan's own mental filling-in.

These mental additions make him feel more and more that this plot segment is not abrupt at all and has traces to follow.

However, another problem arises.

For some ordinary audience members, they won't think too much; they will only feel stifled, want to curse, and feel that Hu Wan and Huang Silang are detestable.

But for people like Huo Yuan, because they think a lot and think thoroughly, they feel sorrowful.

They understand.

Understand—Liuzi must die!

For some reason, Huo Yuan quite likes Liuzi, played by Luo Mo.

"Liuzi is young, with many questions."

When robbing the train, after Zhang Mazi finished firing his gun, he kept asking questions. Seeing the portrait at the city gate, he asked again.

"Liuzi is young, easily excited."

When robbing the train, the white horse's reins were cut by a bullet; everyone else looked calm, but he was the only one cheering with excitement.

"Liuzi is young, too honest."

After robbing the train, he was the first to be unable to hold back, directly stating their purpose: wanting money, wanting goods, wanting silver.

"Liuzi is young..."

Huo Yuan thought a lot.

Finally, it became "Liuzi is young, too kind."

He can tell that Liuzi is the person Zhang Mazi places high hopes on.

That is why he told Liuzi not to be a County Magistrate, nor to be a Bandit, but to... to be a student!

He died for Fairness, died to protect the person most important to him in his heart.

For some reason, Huo Yuan thought of someone.

There was a son who also revered his father in his heart.

He also had faith.

He also wanted to uphold 【Fairness】.

In the end, he fought for the people and sleeps forever in a foreign land.

In the movie, Luo Mo is showing off his acting skills.

The moment the knife is stabbed in is the moment his acting explodes.

The Actor playing Hu Wan, who is acting opposite him, felt great pressure on set.

Because standing in front of him is not just an Actor, but also the director.

In the same age group, Luo Mo's acting skills can crush the vast majority of people.

Hu Wan sat there and said: "Where are the jelly noodles? Too shallow, I can't see them."

Liuzi instantly used force to cut another slash.

The Martial Scholar on the side immediately said: "Sixth Master! I admire you!"

Hu Wan held a handkerchief, widened his eyes, and said: "The jelly noodles are in the intestines; you have to pull horizontally to let me see them."

"Sixth Master, let everyone see if it's one bowl or two!" the Martial Scholar said: "Pull!"

Liuzi, played by Luo Mo, is deathly pale at this moment, his facial muscles are twitching slightly, the hand holding the knife is trembling, and he cannot even stand straight.

He pulled the knife horizontally and began to take out the jelly noodles.

He lowered his head, his voice filled with sobs.

Hu Wan covered his mouth with the handkerchief, leaning forward, watching Liuzi take out the jelly noodles.

There is a detail here.

When the goal is truly achieved, there are tears in Hu Wan's eyes.

"See it now, see it now? Is it only one bowl, is it only one bowl!?" Liuzi held the bowl and shouted loudly.

The Martial Scholar ran away immediately, saying he was going to get a doctor for Sixth Master.

As if he would actually get one.

The onlookers around stopped watching the spectacle and all scattered like birds and beasts.

Everyone doesn't care at all how many bowls you ate.

They are just watching the fun.

"Don't go, don't go!"

"Is it only one bowl?!"

"Is it!"

The voice was heart-wrenching.

Hu Wan, who was sitting, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief before slowly standing up.

On the set, this Actor was performing a scene with the director, and the pressure was so great that tears flowed naturally.

Regarding Hu Wan shedding tears here, there are two mainstream interpretations.

Some say it is crocodile tears, or that he was too happy and laughed until he cried.

Others say he saw his former self.

Combined with the historical background of this drama, there was indeed a group of people who, for the sake of ideals and the future, recklessly overthrew an old power, only to discover that the rotten roots had still not been removed. Everything they built was, in fact, not much different from before.

They wavered, dared not sacrifice anymore, felt that everything was meaningless, and began to seek self-preservation.

When they handed the knife to those Liuzis who refused to kneel for their ideals and faith, they saw their own former, reckless selves.

In the movie, Liuzi held the jelly and said, "It's your turn."

At this moment, his body and voice were trembling.

Hu Wan stood up, tear stains still on his face, his whole demeanor leaning toward the effeminate, and said softly, "I know you only ate one bowl; you've been tricked."

A gunshot rang out, and Zhang Mazi and the others arrived.

Hu Wan was hit in the ear and fled in a panic, only to be blocked by Third Brother of the Bandits.

Master Tang shouted, "You can't kill him! You can't kill him!"

He grabbed Zhang Mazi, not allowing him to fire his gun.

"Give me a reason, why can't I kill him? If you can't give me a reason, I'll kill you along with him," Zhang Mazi said, holding Liuzi.

"If you kill him, Liuzi died in vain!" Master Tang said loudly, his features contorted together.

Hu Wan clutched his ear, still arguing there, claiming he didn't kill Liuzi, that he stabbed himself.

Zhang Mazi raised his gun.

Master Tang went to his ear and said sternly, "Huang Silang just wants to see you like this! With a look of defeat on your face!"

"Killing him is losing; not killing him is still a chance to win! Let him go!"

Immediately after, Master Tang said that extremely classic line in a low voice.

"Killing the Heart, Killing the Heart!"

Huo Yuan and the others listened to this dialogue and felt it was truly satisfying.

Especially this 【Killing the Heart】, which made people applaud in admiration.

"Master Tang is right." Liuzi, lying in Zhang Mazi's arms, was already extremely weak, but he was still trying to persuade him.

Zhang Mazi ultimately only fired his gun to hit Hu Wan's ear.

The scene changed, and Hu Wan, with his comical ear injury, went back to report.

"If the knife enters the stomach, is the jelly still jelly?" Huang Silang asked.

"Yes."

"Huh?"

"No."

At this moment, it was no longer jelly.

It was a grudge that had been formed.

"So, is the person dead?" Huang Silang asked.

"Dead." Hu Wan grinned.

"So, you sold me out?" Huang Silang asked again.

"I was using the Master's name to scare them!" Hu Wan said earnestly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Cinema burst into laughter.

Just a moment ago, everyone was immersed in Luo Mo's explosive acting, and now they felt a mix of laughter and tears.

To laugh was to disrespect his death.

Not to laugh was to disrespect the comedic point he had created.

Master Huang leaned back in his chair, looked at Hu Wan, and asked, "Were they scared?"

"They said... Killing the Heart." Hu Wan replied.

"Killing... and then Killing the Heart?" Huang Silang's features contorted together, and he said, "How terrifying!"

Later, the scene where everyone talked to Liuzi at his grave and offered him flowers also left the audience laughing and crying.

Everyone finally said, "Sixth Master, go in peace!"

The camera gave a close-up of the tomb, which was actually a wooden carved hand making a '6' gesture.

But from some of the words here, it could be seen that there were problems within Zhang Mazi's side as well.

The way Third Brother looked at Master Tang was as if he wanted to kill him.

He began to disagree with the decisions Zhang Mazi made, not understanding how they could still be called Bandits if they didn't kill Hu Wan.

The first stage of the movie could be said to have ended.

Huang Silang invited Zhang Mazi and the others to his home for a banquet.

Zhang Mazi began to deploy using whistles, and only Master Tang couldn't understand the meaning of the whistles.

——《Team Encryption》.

We've turned on team voice chat!

After arriving at Huang Silang's mansion, the three sat at the table to eat and talk.

Earlier, there even appeared the kaishaku sword from the island nation.

Three giants of the film industry sat at one table and competed in acting; the audience found it very engaging.

This, in fact, was also a game of strategy.

Luo Mo filmed the shots here very well, constantly circling in front of the three of them, only stopping at the crucial moment.

At the beginning, it was mutual probing, as both sides wanted to know the other's purpose.

Zhang Mazi stated his position directly: he wanted to make money, and he wanted to make money from the rich.

An interesting scene appeared just like that.

Huang Silang said he had no money, but if the County Magistrate really wanted to make money, he did have a good place to go.

"Oh? Please tell me," Zhang Mazi said.

"Zhang Mazi," Huang Silang said.

The dining table fell into a deathly silence for a moment.

—*False Alarm*!

"Does this Zhang Mazi have a relationship with us? Or does he have a relationship with money?" he asked.

"Both," Huang Silang replied.

"Oh? Could it be that he is in Goose City?" Zhang Mazi asked.

"He is!" Huang Silang replied.

After a long, dramatic pause, he leaned back and said, "And he isn't!"

The next moment, Zhang Mazi and Master Tang really could not hold back their laughter.

—*False Alarm*!

Huang Silang did not know that the County Magistrate before him was Zhang Mazi.

The audience's emotions were completely stirred up; one moment they were nervous, the next they found it hilarious.

What was even funnier was that Huang Silang told them to go suppress the bandits, to go exterminate Zhang Mazi.

Zhang Mazi's expression changed, while the audience was laughing out loud.

Huang Silang stated that he would put up the money to suppress the bandits, and whatever amount he put up, the two great families would have to match.

This corresponded to the four words from earlier—*Fabricating Charges*.

Master Tang stated that Master Huang's money would be returned in full.

But Zhang Mazi refused.

"One million eight hundred thousand, no need to return it!" he slapped the table.

"Isn't it just suppressing bandits? Suppress them!"

"We will take back all the money that Zhang Mazi robbed and return it to Master Huang. By then, this 1.8 million will just be a single hair on an Ox, would you even care?"

"Isn't it just a tiny Zhang Mazi? Handle him!" Zhang Mazi said loudly.

—*I Manage Myself*.

"Hard!" Huang Silang gave Zhang Mazi a thumbs up.

"Is it hard?"

"Hard enough!"

"Whether it's hard or not, we'll talk about that later!" Zhang Mazi waved his hand.

"A Zhang Mazi is just too arrogant!" Zhang Mazi said through gritted teeth.

—*Too Arrogant*.

"Bullying Brother Huang," Zhang Mazi pointed at Huang Silang and said sternly, "I won't allow it!"

Master Tang did not agree at this moment; he was only thinking about *Fabricating Charges* and then splitting the money, not wanting to do anything too risky.

He said they should talk about money first, the old rule of a three-seven split.

Zhang Mazi scolded him sternly: "You are being too lacking in Righteousness! Master Huang has been busy running around for this, and you only want to give him thirty percent? It has to be a fifty-fifty split at least!"

Huang Silang looked at Zhang Mazi with a smile, his gaze gradually becoming "kind."

The look in one's eyes when they want to kill someone really can't be hidden, damn it.

—*Smiling Knife*.

Huo Yuan and the others felt that the character settings from earlier were playing a significant role at this moment.

Zhang Mazi hiding his identity and playing the County Magistrate—they hadn't expected it to be used here to create comedy.

Moreover, there was enough foreshadowing; everyone didn't know what Zhang Mazi looked like, after all, he wore a Jiutong Mask, and the wanted posters all depicted him with a face full of pockmarks.

Huang Silang stated that if you choose to suppress the bandits, you must show your strength.

"Why should I believe that you can suppress Zhang Mazi?" Huang Silang asked.

"Master Huang, allow this brother to ask you a question," Zhang Mazi said, cupping his hands.

"Please."

"If Zhang Mazi can rob your goods, why can't he enter your home?" Zhang Mazi asked.

"My fortress is as solid as a rock, easy to defend and hard to attack; he cannot get in," Huang Silang widened his eyes and said to Zhang Mazi with a confident face.

At this moment, the audience all laughed again.

How can this not be considered a *Comedy*?

Still saying this isn't a *Comedy*?

"Then how do you really believe that only the Master and I entered your fortress?" Zhang Mazi said.

Amidst Huang Silang's confused gaze, he stuck out his tongue; he was actually hiding a whistle in his mouth.

After blowing the whistle, he hid it back in his mouth.

Outside, Third Brother and the others heard the whistle and understood that Boss was telling them to retreat.

Third Brother replied with a whistle; the encrypted language was: *Command*, but I am very worried about you!

Huang Silang and Master Tang listened to the whistle coming from outside, and they were both stunned.

"Did you hear that?" Zhang Mazi looked at him and said in a deep voice.

——What is a satisfying film? Tell me, what is a satisfying film!

This kind of direct threat made the audience feel secretly satisfied.

Huang Silang finally agreed to spend money to suppress the Bandits.

He also planned to send beauties and jewels.

It looked like both host and guest were enjoying themselves.

After a round of maneuvering, everyone showed their strength, and the Hongmen Banquet ended there.

Huang Silang sent them away and began to have the fake-dead Hu Wan pose as a Bandit to go and shoot the County Magistrate and the County Magistrate's Wife, and they had to die in their own bed at home.

Who would have thought that Zhang Mazi did not sleep with the widow.

He was a fake County Magistrate and had no intention of bullying her.

And in the conversation between the Private Secretary and the County Magistrate's Wife, the identities of both were revealed to the audience.

The County Magistrate's Wife was a brothel woman, and Private Secretary Tang used to be an old lecher who wrote scripts.

The money he used to buy the official position of County Magistrate was all provided by his wife.

As a result, Hu Wan came over to kill, thinking the County Magistrate and his wife were sleeping together, but that was not the case at all.

Hu Wan was caught, and this time, Zhang Mazi killed him directly.

Anyway, weren't you already a dead man, didn't Huang Silang have you fake your death?

Then, now just go ahead and die for real for Laozi!

Seeing his wife shot to death by Hu Wan's men, Private Secretary Tang was extremely sad and burst into tears; what was revealed here were true feelings.

"I said I couldn't be a County Magistrate, but you insisted on spending money to buy this official position for me!"

"Now the position has been snatched away by others, and you have died just like that!"

Zhang Mazi walked in to check on the Private Secretary's situation, and Third Brother ran over to tell him that Huang Silang had brought people over.

Private Secretary Tang hugged his wife and exposed his identity directly.

"She is my wife! I am the County Magistrate! I am Ma Bangde!"

Zhang Mazi glanced at Third Brother and ordered, "Let him in."

Huang Silang immediately walked in quickly and excitedly: "How is the County Magistrate? How is the County Magistrate?"

He thought they were both dead.

When he saw Zhang Mazi, he only saw him holding his wife's corpse with a face full of grief, looking as if life was meaningless, as if he couldn't close his eyes in death.

While fake-crying, he said: "Those goddamn Bandits, they are wicked! The County Magistrate had just taken office, and he and his wife have both..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhang Mazi, who looked like a corpse, suddenly wailing loudly in grief.

"Ah———!"

He began to repeat the Private Secretary's words from just a moment ago; that was truly a display of genuine emotion.

"I said I couldn't be a County Magistrate, but you insisted on spending money to buy this official position for me."

"Now the position is in hand, but you have left just like that!"

The audience was already laughing uncontrollably.

Yes, yes, yes, his position is gone, but your position is in hand.

You're learning and using it on the spot!

Private Secretary Tang was hiding on the side and couldn't bear to listen anymore.

What was even more outrageous was that Zhang Mazi finally shouted in grief:

"She is my wife! I am the County Magistrate! I am Ma Bangde!!!"

No emotion, all technique.

The Cinema erupted in laughter again, and Huo Yuan, that Joy-seeker, laughed so hard his gums were showing.

What is a Comedy?

Tell me what the hell is a Comedy?

Doesn't "Let the Bullets Fly" count as a fucking Comedy?

(PS: Wishing everyone a happy National Day, asking for double monthly votes.

This plot of "Let the Bullets Fly" will not be short, at least as long as the previous "Medicine God". Writing it on National Day, I think it's quite good.)
