Twilight Boundary

"It's getting late, come out quickly..."

At this time, in the north of the village, the second master was anxiously circling. After waiting for a long time, no one was seen pulling the straw rope. Finally, he couldn't help it and rushed over.

The people around were still hesitating. After all, they had made an appointment in advance to have someone inside pull the rope before pulling it outside. However, the second master said anxiously: "This Juehu village is only so big in total. It's time to cross it. It must be out." Something, right?"

As he said that, he pulled hard, but he didn't expect that the more he pulled, the looser it became, and only a rope end was pulled out.

Whether it was Lao Yangpi, the clan leader, or Zhou Datong and his neighbors who were following behind, they were all stunned.

"My old lady..."

The second master groaned, his body trembled, he tore open his coat violently, shouted and rushed towards Juehu Village.

"I'll go find him!"

"..."

"Stop, dick..."

Lao Yangpi hurriedly stopped the second master and shouted: "With your ideas and skills, how dare you break into Juehu Village?"

"You blew out the old stove too..."

"..."

"I have to look for it even if it's destroyed..."

The second master was so anxious that his eyes were wet, and he shouted loudly: "If something happens to little Hu Ma, how can I have the nerve to explain to my mother-in-law again?"

"Leave me alone, you don't have to bury me in the old fire pit if you die..."

"..."

As he said that, he strode into the village with great strides, and no one from the two villages could hold him back.

But at this moment, a voice said: "What kind of life and death?"

Everyone turned around in a hurry, only to see Hu Ma in good condition, coming back from the side road. They were suddenly surprised and happy, and hurriedly went up to meet him. They looked around and saw that it was really him. They were surprised and happy: "豼豼If you entered here, how did you come back from there?"

"be lost."

Hu Ma said: "He came back after a long detour."

The people next to me were stunned when they heard this: "Are you going to a ghost village with someone who got lost?"

But when they saw that the flax came back fine, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The old patriarch also took the opportunity to quickly put a cotton-padded jacket on the second master.

Only the old Mr. Yangpi, who had seen too many evil spirits in this deserted village, was still wary in his heart. He secretly squeezed Hu Ma's palm. Hu Ma knew what he was thinking and deliberately took away the anger in his hand. With this squeeze, It felt bitingly cold, not like a living person.

"Ah yo..."

Old Sheepskin's face turned green with fright, and he staggered back, but Hu Ma reached out to hold him and said with a smile: "Be careful."

At this time, the vitality returned, the palms were warm, and the old sheepskin man was stunned for a moment.

Then I suddenly realized that this kid was playing tricks on me, and I felt a little relieved: "It's okay, it's okay..."

"How can you be so naughty?"

"..."

"There was a slight situation, but at least we got out smoothly."

Hu Ma then explained to everyone: "I haven't learned my skills yet. If I want to solve the problem here, it would be a lie. However, I understand what the situation is. I will make more preparations later and see if I can Can’t find a way.”

"That's that's..."

The second master said hurriedly: "My mother-in-law said earlier that we should seal off the village first to eliminate ten years of grievances. This is only seven or eight years old."

"It's still early. If the sheepherder wasn't impatient, why would he need to take this risk?"

"..."

Just now, I was worried about a fight between the two villages, with Lao Sheepskin claiming to be the boss, but because of this false alarm, the second master didn't care anymore and exposed Lao Sheepskin's background.

But Lao Yangpi is not on the right track. The sheepherder has become a great man, and he has no teacher. He originally didn’t like others saying that, but now he feels very guilty. He said softly: "My child, what I said is right, we are being petty." .”

"I should have known that the grandson of a ghost mother-in-law would be fine..."

"..."

This sentence can be regarded as finalizing the matter this time.

The most prominent figure in Mang Village has to apologize to a little kid. From now on, people in Mang Village will have to respect Hu Ma when they see him.

The old patriarch smiled and rolled his eyes, and said: "Stop wrangling here, it's almost dark."

"Xiao Huma's godmother hasn't even tasted the incense yet. I've never seen her run out to do other things after she was halfway sacrificed."

"..."

"Yeah……"

Old Mr. Yangpi also said hurriedly: "Your godmother taking in a godson like you is not a matter of any particular family, but a big deal of our neighbors."

"Let's go around and kowtow to everyone."

"..."

"It's done..."

The words were spoken so smoothly that even the second master and the old patriarch were surprised. Looking at this old man in sheep's clothing, they secretly thought, is he just climbing up the pole?

This is an underestimation of the shepherd. He had this intention from the beginning, right?

I just rushed up to kowtow without being embarrassed, and also to see if the grandson of my mother-in-law's family is a person who accepts old scores...

But she said that Liu Erniang was just chasing ducks and didn't understand anything about the situation. When she saw these people leaving, she thought that her troubles were over.

Suddenly, I saw the Wuju people coming back again, and there were more people than at noon. As soon as they came over, they were kowtowing and burning incense. It had never seen such a big battle. It was trembling and there were only a few pitiful branches. Shivering.

Anyway, after the group of people finished the sacrifice, they made an appointment to go to Dayangzhai for a drink and ignored him.

But the second master took advantage of it unprepared and came over quietly when he was leaving. He picked up a red rope and tied it to it. The last time it was tied, it was just a red thread, but this time it was as thick as a finger.

This was because Liu Erniang was afraid that she would be frightened, so she ran away quietly.

She couldn't run away. This time, it was just a start. When the children were about to become more successful, she would have to be there when they were offering sacrifices to Lin Zi, Tai Sui, and even Lao Yin Mountain...

At night, flowing water mats were set up in the village to entertain the villagers from Mang Village.

For the poor people in the village, this is really a luxury. Throughout the year, there are only a few rare banquets. During the Chinese New Year or when there are weddings and funerals, this year there is one banquet after another. , even the patriarch’s daughter-in-law felt distressed.

It would be great if we let Datong and the others take them to the city after the New Year with all these food and drinks, they will fill up the holes you have.

"The women you married from Mang Village are just petty."

When the old patriarch saw that his daughter-in-law was embarrassed, he laughed and scolded her: "It's not good for Yin to eat Mao's grain."

"But it also depends on what kind of progress this year will bring."

"What do you know? Just wait and see what you are eating now. You will be back in less than a year..."

"..."

"..."

"What does it mean that something is left in the stone box?"

Hu Ma, on the other hand, is actually a little tired of this kind of banquet.

Now I am dealing with this bustle, but I am thinking about the tree stump at the end of the village and what he said.

That tree stump was called an "acquaintance" by her mother-in-law, and she had to bow politely when she saw him for the first time. He specifically looked for me and said those few pleasant words. What was the meaning of that person?

He is the grandson of his mother-in-law, but he is not yet a descendant of the Hu family...

...Is it possible that the descendants of the Hu family value their ability rather than their bloodline?

But I vaguely felt that the things my mother-in-law faced were far more complicated than I thought, and she had more arrangements than I imagined.

Just like the incident in Juehu Village, from the perspective of the surrounding villages, the mother-in-law passed away suddenly, so leaving such an issue behind without time to solve it made me feel scared.

But as soon as Hu Ma heard about it, she realized that it was not that simple.

Because the mother-in-law did not die suddenly at all. She just returned to her ancestral temple. The time is still her own. With her kind-hearted character, if the hidden dangers in this village are really that big, she will definitely solve them in advance, at least Methods will also be left.

It shouldn't have been left, but it happened to be left. I can only say that it was left to myself.

Thinking back to her mother-in-law's words when she returned to the ancestral temple, she wanted to help her stop the Meng family's gadgets. She didn't know how long she could stop them. She just hoped that she could buy more time for herself, and wait until she learned her skills... …

...I am still too slow now, too slow.

I thought to myself silently, and the pressure increased. But in the end, something happened here, and I should go back to Zhuangzi as soon as possible.

Let’s get that batch of blood food first, after all, that’s the root of everything…

After a banquet, many people from Mang Village had relatives in Dayangzhai Village. Since they went to live with relatives, they had no relatives. They also found a few empty rooms for them to sleep. Hu Ma also took the drunken second master , helped him back to his home, and cooked tea for him to drink.

Some of the things my mother-in-law left behind are so deep that I cannot even notice them.

But thanks to the second master by his side, he didn't know what his mother-in-law had left, but he would guide him in the right direction.

Hu Ma has always been grateful to him, and she knows what is wrong with him.

"Ouch……"

But when the second master heard the words "year-old man" from Hu Ma's mouth, he was so frightened that he woke up.

He stared at Hu Ma hurriedly and said sternly: "Boss Hu, don't talk nonsense. I didn't hear anything from the second master... No, you kid, please be more alert. It's not like I don't know that you have learned your skills. Why do I Never asked?"

"Learning the skills taught by the master is a favor. Teaching it to others without the master's permission is a fatal sin."

"You just opened your mouth and said you didn't want to do it anymore?"

"..."

"fine."

Seeing the nervous look on the second master's face, Hu Ma smiled and said, "The skills we have are ours."

"Master, I've already paid it back, I don't owe anyone anything."

"..."

Seeing that he was sure, the second master was a little hesitant. He knew more about the Hemp Sutra than what they said when they came back.

Moreover, this ability of being a watcher of the year has indeed been a lifelong worry for him.

"Second Master, to put it bluntly, it's just one word."

Hu Ma smiled, leaned into the second master's ear, and whispered something, and the second master's eyes suddenly became round.

With just such a word, Mr. Yu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

His face was suddenly enlightened, confused, seemed to understand, and even more confused. In the end, slowly, his old eyes became moist.

He turned his back to prevent Hu Ma from seeing him cry, but there was endless emotion in his voice: "I have been thinking about it for a lifetime, a whole lifetime..."

"But no one expected it to be this way..."

"..."

Seeing the second master like this, Hu Ma sighed in her heart and wanted to teach all the techniques, but the second master waved his hand.

"It's too late..."

"Boy Hu, you are overthinking. Twenty years ago, I could still practice, but now, my body can no longer bear it..."
