Twilight Boundary

Once you come, do it to the absolute best, so as not to poison the countryside.

Secondly, Hu Ma also had to behave more like a ghost walker rather than a year-keeper.

Thirdly, I don’t know where the meat seller has gone yet. I want to invite him back, and of course I am sincere.

It was Hu Ma's sincerity that directly and completely destroyed his flesh and angered him.

Therefore, in the surprised eyes of the villagers, he saw that big bubbles had formed inside, so he chanted a curse in a low voice, holding the large porcelain bowl he had just snatched in one hand, with the large porcelain bowl in it. The piece of meat was flattened over the oil pan.

The heat in the pot was steaming, burning his arms, and oil splashed on his wrists and backs of hands from time to time, but he didn't notice anything and just held the meat bowl steadily.

Gradually, the piece of bright red meat in the bowl seemed to be roasted by the temperature, and it squirmed slowly, as if it came to life.

Bone toot…

As the oil pan bubbled up, an indescribable weird atmosphere began to pervade the entire village.

The villagers in this village were all going crazy just now, but the roar of the donkey and the disappointed sighs of the ancestors in the ancestral hall woke up many people who didn't eat much meat, but there were also many People hurriedly ran back to their homes.

Now those who were awake gathered around the cauldron, staring with wide eyes. Those who had just fled back home were hiding in the corner, smelling the fragrance, and swallowing saliva from time to time in the darkness. the sound of.

The flax just smoked the meat in the bowl due to the heat in the pot, and gradually emitted an unusual fragrance, as if it was licking the intestines in people's stomachs.

Gradually, the sound of swallowing became louder and louder. The people gathered around the pot suppressed their appetite for meat and lowered their heads, daring not to look. Those in the shadows could no longer hold back. , gearing up.

Creak, creak, someone is grinding his teeth.

Gurgling, someone's stomach growled loudly, as if there was a ghost in the stomach crying and clamoring for meat.

Xiao Hongtang became nervous and wanted to rush out to fight at any time, but was stopped by Hu Ma's eyes.

"Squeak..."

At this moment, suddenly there was a sound from the wooden door in the yard next to it, and a tall figure swayed out, crawling forward on all hands and feet.

Surprisingly, it was the big cow who had lost a few pieces of meat on his body. He was almost a skeleton, but he still got up from the bed and slowly approached the frying pan.

His eyes were just staring at the bowl of meat in Hu Ma's hand.

Wow...

Seeing Da Niu coming out, those who were hiding in the dark couldn't hold back anymore and had already emerged from the shadows, looking eager to try.

So Hu Ma quietly winked at Xiao Hongtang, while she still held the bowl in her hand flat.

Seeing the big cow getting closer and closer, he was already so greedy for the meat in the bowl that he suddenly quickened his pace, swaying, and rushed towards the oil pan.

As soon as he moved, the neighbors who were hiding in the surrounding shadows and eating a lot of meat couldn't help but rushed over. Even the sober neighbors who were guarding the oil pot seemed to be suddenly I was so dizzy that I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to grab it, so I hurriedly stretched out my hand to grab it.

At this same moment, Hu Ma's expression became serious. He pinched his sword and pointed to both sides, shouting:

"Flying sword!"

"..."

"Whoosh!"

The mahogany sword stuck in his back suddenly flew up and was held by the winking Xiao Hongtang. He walked crookedly through the crowd. This weird scene frightened many people.

The people next to the oil pan fell backwards like scattered lotus flowers. Only Daniel rushed straight into the crowd.

Taking advantage of this moment, Hu Ma loosened his palm and threw the meat bowl into the oil pan.

When the meat in the bowl was fried in the oil pan, it became even more fragrant. The smell of the meat suddenly became ten times stronger, and the strange and extremely tempting smell instantly filled the entire village.

"thump……"

First, the reckless man named Daniel was the first to rush to the oil pan. In his dry and dim eyes, there was only the reflection of the bowl of meat. He wanted to dive directly into the oil pan, but Hu Ma also raised his hand in time. One finger.

The flying sword immediately turned a corner and flew back...

...In fact, it was Xiao Hongtang who hugged him, knocked him on the legs of the arrogant man, and then stretched out his hands to grab his legs.

The rude man was only one foot away from the frying pan, but he couldn't reach it. He was so anxious and angry that he opened his mouth violently, and out of his mouth crawled a little devil with a big belly, a small head, and wrinkles all over his body.

It's mouth was full of saliva, its eyes were red, and it used its hands and feet to dive into the oil pan.

Suddenly, it was blown up and screamed.

But it wasn't over yet. As the big bull spit out such a little devil from his mouth and stepped into the oil pan, there was only a rustling and chaos around him. The people around him, whether they ate more meat or less, started to He hunched over and retched.

From their mouths, one after another, some were bigger, some were smaller, and they rushed towards the oil pan impatiently.

It was like a swarm of bees, like running dumplings jumping into the pot, jumping in with a flutter.

"Mom..."

As for the people around who vomited up the kid, some of them fell down on their heads after vomiting it out and became silent again. Others vomited up the kid, but their eyes became clearer, and they looked up blankly and looked into the oil pan.

"Everyone get out of the way."

However, Hu Ma loudly reminded the others. Seeing that there were already many little devils getting into the oil, he grabbed the big wooden pot lid from the side and slammed it on the oil pot.

There was only a crackling sound in the oil pan, the lid of the pan was being pushed out from time to time, and faint sounds of crying and begging for mercy could be heard from inside.

But Hu Ma ignored them and just stepped on the lid of the oil pan to prevent them from escaping.

Finally, the pressure in the oil pan gradually disappeared, and he raised his feet to loosen the lid. However, the lid was still firmly covered, and there was no movement. He knew that the matter was done.

He grabbed the lid of the pot and put it aside. Then he casually turned it into a fence around the pot and fished it into the oil pot.

Strangely enough, there was nothing else in the pot except the coarse porcelain bowl and the meat, but when he fished it out, he actually fished up a whole bunch of worms, each one about the size of a grain of rice and fried to a crispy brown. , if you sprinkle a little pepper, maybe...

"If you are still alive, grind it into powder and drink it, and you will be cured quickly."

Hu Ma turned the fence to the side, put it into the big bowl, and said to the people around him: "As for the dead, they should be buried as soon as possible!"

The surrounding villagers seemed to have finally woken up at this moment. Looking around in a daze, they found that nearly half of the people in the village were missing, and the living ones all looked haggard and did not look like human beings.

"Oh, my benefactor..."

Someone finally reacted and hurriedly kowtowed to Hu Ma, but they were weak and looked like ghosts.

At a glance, Hu Ma saw that even on the steps in front of the village ancestral hall, there were several old people wearing shrouds, bowing diligently to her from a distance.

"No, get up quickly!"

Hu Ma couldn't help but frowned, but it was easy to scare them just now, but it was not easy to stop them from kowtowing now. She had no choice but to glance at Xiao Hongtang and saw Xiao Hongtang lazily holding her mahogany sword and standing. In the crowd.

Then he pinched his fingers again and shouted: "Feijian, come back!"

Only then did everyone remember the shocking scene just now, and turned their heads to look.

Then I saw the flying sword that had just flown out from behind the gentleman, and now it was flying crookedly from the side again, flying straight towards the gentleman. It flew very slowly at first, but the gentleman glared at it, and then it suddenly flew away. Gotta get up quickly.

Along with a gust of cold wind, it jumped directly onto his back and automatically inserted it into his belt. It took two times before it was inserted correctly.

"A living god..."

The villagers were surprised by this, but they forgot about kowtowing. They just stared around Hu Ma with their eyes wide open. Some thought they were still in a dream, and some thought they had seen gods descending to earth.

Some of them who were a little older, because they couldn't compete with others and had less meat to eat, naturally had a clearer mind than others. They tremblingly squeezed out of the crowd and asked: "May I ask what you call me sir? How much money do you pay?"

"What are we recruiting here?"

"..."

"You're welcome, old man."

Hu Ma reached out and touched Xiao Hongtang's head, and then politely said to the people around her: "I'm just a passing ghost. I happened to help you get rid of evil spirits. As usual, twenty coppers will be enough."

"If you really want to thank me, I might as well go to your ancestral hall and burn a few more incense sticks."

"If you are sincere, after you finish burning the incense, someone will tell you the whole story in your dream. I don't know if they will slap you in the dream."

"..."

He had no intention of staying here any longer, so he helped to get rid of the evil spirits. In exchange for twenty copper coins, he declined the villagers' offer to let him stay, but took his donkey and left straight away.

He has helped to cure the flesh evil, but the moral character of this village has been corrupted and no one can save it.

There's no point in staying here. It's better to go out and meet the rightful master.

After leaving the village, I walked more than twenty miles and saw a wooden house on the roadside. It looked like a teahouse. I went to sit next to the wooden house and tied the donkey to the side. I waited patiently, knowing that sooner or later someone would find it. The door comes up.

What he did was a heavy blow, and if that person didn't come up and take a look, it would be an evil act.

Sure enough, he stayed here for most of the night. He was in a daze and was about to fall asleep, but suddenly he heard a gust of wind, accompanied by a sound of bangs. He opened his eyes and saw under the dim moonlight in the distance. A wheelbarrow was being pushed over.

There were pieces of meat hanging on the car, all of which were dark red and neat. With the sound of bangs, they slowly came to the front:

"Selling meat..."

"Pork, mutton, deer meat, one copper coin per pound of meat..."

"..."

The man pushing the cart spoke slowly and looked towards Hu Ma with his eyes under a felt hat: "Sir, would you like to cut some meat to eat?"

Hu Ma also looked at him deeply, and then suddenly said: "Can human flesh be sold?"

The other party was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "Tender, old or strong, which one do you want?"

Hu Ma also smiled at him and said, "Fresh."

“Sold freshly cut and sold, my favorite!”
