Twilight Boundary

Early in the morning on the third day, Zhou Datong and others got on the hired carriage. The driver was an experienced man and had a lot of experience in traveling around. Otherwise, he would not have dared to take the job of entering Laoyin Mountain.

But even so, this veteran had made an agreement in advance with Hu Ma, a young but generous little boss, that he would only drive during the day and must stop on rainy days and nights. Rest.

He didn't need to ask for this. Hu Ma had learned the rules when he came out with the second master.

His understanding of Lao Yinshan is naturally not as good as that of the second master, or even as good as this old master, but it is not wrong to be careful.

It was precisely to avoid trouble on the road that he didn't even bring Qing Tai Sui with him, just for fear of attracting evil spirits.

After traveling in the morning and resting in the evening, they gradually entered the realm of Laoyin Mountain, and all the young people already felt the breath of going home.

What I didn't expect was that when I passed a forest, I ran into an acquaintance again.

"Visitors from the past, please show your kindness. The village has been hit by a disaster, and we won't be able to survive this new year..."

"..."

Looking at the villagers who had picked up hoes, dung forks, sticks and stones, the children in the cart all looked at each other. The old man quickly stopped the old horse pulling the cart and turned to look at Got flax.

This was agreed in advance. When encountering bandits and refugees who blocked the road and robbed goods, the young boss would come forward. He would just help drive the truck, and he would not care about anything that happened.

"Did the second master cry as soon as he got out of the car?"

Hu Ma thought about what the second master did at that time, and felt a little embarrassed and couldn't cry.

So as soon as he got out of the car, he immediately laughed and raised his hands to the person blocking the road: "Folks, get rich in the New Year!"

"Perhaps you nobles are forgetful. A few months ago, we followed the adults from here. Thanks to your guidance, we avoided evil spirits. I thought I could meet you here, so I made preparations in advance. Some New Year’s goods, come here and help move them!”

"..."

After saying that, he asked Zhou Datong to take down a bag of brown rice and a piece of pork weighing seven or eight kilograms that he had prepared in advance.

This group of people looked at each other in shock when they saw that Hu Ma had a tender face but did not have any stage fright when speaking.

When Hu Ma saw it, she grabbed the bag of brown rice with one hand, hooked her tail finger, picked up the piece of pork, held it flat and walked forward, gesturing for them to take it with a smile.

When the leader saw this, his expression suddenly changed slightly, he hurriedly dropped his hoe and raised his hands:

"Okay, okay, thank you folks for remembering..."

"..."

He was about to ask the people next to him to take it over, but someone took a look at the car and saw that there were a lot of cloth and grains in it, and there was a slight movement.

Came over quietly and whispered in his ear.

But the leader changed his hand and slapped him: "What are you talking about? These are friendly neighbors!"

"We want to celebrate the New Year, but others can't live with it?"

"..."

As he said this, he took it with great gratitude and promised that he would remember Hu Ma and that he would not accept anything when he came back.

After passing this test politely, even the veteran driver admired Hu Ma. The group of people entered the forest peacefully, but it became increasingly quieter and quieter, with fewer and fewer people.

To put it bluntly, even if there are roadblocks, they are only near the edge of Laoyin Mountain. Once you enter Laoyin Mountain, the master of the forest is no longer a human being. Everyone lives carefully and is full of awe.

Compared with other places, the characteristic of Laoyin Mountain is that there are more evil spirits and fewer man-made disasters.

Of course, Laoyin Mountain is too mysterious and does not have a very good reputation outside. If outsiders come in for the first time, they will definitely be suspicious and uneasy.

But for the young man who was born in Dayangzhai, this is like returning home, and he feels increasingly excited.

After walking for another two days, we arrived in front of Dayang Village. The path covered by weeds was divided into two branches. One could lead directly to the village, while the other could go to the Second Master first. Hu Mahao I chose the latter without hesitation.

I finally came back, so of course I met my relatives first.

The young men were speechless, thinking about seeing the second master, and smiles appeared on their brows.

Squeaking, at noon, I saw the Zhuangzi on Erye's hill from a distance. The carriage drove over and stopped at the foot of the mountain to wait. Hu Ma, Zhou Datong and others jumped out of the carriage and started walking together. Walk towards the Zhuangzi.

From a distance, I could hear the second master yelling at people in the village: "Diligence! Diligence, do you understand? If we don't work hard at this time, how can we make money in the spring?"

"Don't you know about the flax in the village? Don't Zhou Datong know about it?"

"How do you think these two joined the Queen's Association to earn money and food? When they learn from me, they are the most diligent!"

"..."

"Ouch?"

Hu Ma and Zhou Datong were startled when they heard this.

Facing this unexpected compliment, both of them felt a little guilty...

"Second Master, are you still busy?"

Feeling guilty, she still stepped forward and opened the ajar door, stood outside the door, and smiled at the second master.

"Eh?"

The second master turned around to look, startled for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and slowly put down the cigarette rod in his hand. When he realized it was indeed the two of them, they were followed by Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu, and Li Wazi looked around, and then his eyes widened:

"My mother, it has only been a few days and you have all been kicked back?"

"..."

"?"

Hu Ma and others were stunned for a moment, seeing that the second master was like a furious lion, charging up and trying to beat someone.

He hurriedly took a step back, letting Zhou Datong block him in front, and said with a smile: "I'm not being driven back, I'm coming back to celebrate the New Year."

"yes……"

Zhou Datong couldn't avoid it. He was slapped first, and he shouted and jumped: "Yes, I'm here to celebrate the New Year..."

"I also bought you some fine tobacco..."

"..."

"What's New Year?"

The second master's temper did not diminish, and he cursed loudly: "The Queen's Association is not a charity hall, so they let you come back to celebrate the New Year just a few days ago? It must be because you guys have not learned well..."

"It's true..."

Several people hurriedly went up to persuade him. They even gave the second master the tobacco and pointed to the cart at the bottom of the mountain.

The second master then doubtfully believed it and looked at Hu Ma again: "Little Hu Ma, aren't you guys fooling me?"

"of course not."

Hu Ma smiled and said: "I have to go back after the New Year. I'm waiting on the cabinet!"

"Ouch, the people in the concubine are really good..."

The second master finally turned from anger to joy. Looking at them, he felt that they were stronger than when he sent them there before. He hit this one and hit that one. Sure enough, he saw Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang, and Zhao Zhu. It's so strong that even if you get punched by yourself, it won't be a problem.

So when it came to Li Wazi, with a little force, Li Wazi was beaten far away with a squeak.

"Why is this kid still softer than before?"

The second master was a little dumbfounded, but Hu Ma quickly persuaded him and said that he would come to see him first and not return to Zhuangzi yet.

"Go back, go back now, and I will go back with you."

The second master, who was overjoyed, sat on the carriage and smoked his filial tobacco, feeling as if he was in a dream.

Soon I arrived in front of the village and saw that it still looked the same, but seemed to be further away from me. The old patriarch was leading his donkey and digging two bags of yams back.

From a distance, I saw the second master sitting on the carriage, as well as Hu Ma, Zhou Datong, and a few baby faces in the village. I was stunned on the spot, blinked a few times, and burst into tears:

"It's bad..."

"It's only been a few days, and all the cubs have been driven back..."

"Thanks to my bag of green food..."

"..."

"?"

Not only Hu Ma, but also Zhou Datong and others were speechless. The villagers must have been too distrustful of them, right?

He hurriedly drove up the carriage and jumped out. The second master helped to talk to the old patriarch for a while before he stopped crying.

"Why did you get kicked back? We came back to celebrate the New Year."

"Not only have I not been kicked out, Grandpa, you don't know, but Brother Mazi is now the steward of the cabinet..."

The old patriarch believed that they were not driven back, but he still didn't believe it after hearing this:

"What are you bragging about?"

"The guy from Lizi Village next door has been working in the Queen's Association for five or six years, but he has never been a steward..."

"..."

"Anyone still doesn't believe this?"

Zhou Datong shouted: "Brother Mazi, take out your stewardship clothes and show them to my grandpa..."

And when they were chatting at the entrance of the village, the people in the village were already alarmed and gathered around to watch from a distance. Especially the adults from Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu and others' families hurriedly went to the village. Run outside.

Seeing that his child had suddenly arrived in front of him, and his body was still strong, I felt so happy that I didn't care about what was being pulled in the car.

Only the people from Li Wazi's family came over in a swarm, and saw that Li Wazi was so thin and frail that they couldn't help but shed tears. When Li Wazi saw his parents, he also burst into tears: "Dad. , Mom, I almost died..."

When they cried, even the surrounding neighbors, as well as the clan leader and the second master, looked over with concern.

Li Wazi cried uncontrollably. He didn't cry in Zhuangzi earlier, but he cried all this time.

"I was bullied, fell into a well, and I also encountered ghosts..."

He cried: "It was Brother Mazi who took off his clothes and went down into the well at night, and fished me out from that sinister side."

"Father, mother, the fire in my stove is not strong..."

"If Brother Mazi hadn't been in charge, arranged for me to do light work, and helped me talk to the counter, I would have been kicked back by the shopkeeper..."

"..."

He cried inconsolably, and spoke with sobs and incoherence, but the people in the village gradually understood, and the noisy commotion subsided.

Everyone looked at Hu Ma openly or covertly, some with relief, some with emotion, which was quite complicated.

"well……"

There was a sigh from behind, and a pair of strong hands patted Hu Ma's shoulders and said, "Well done."

It's the second master.

Good luck to you gentlemen, please give me your votes...
