Twilight Boundary

Chapter 520 Returning to the village to collect treasures

Maybe since the Truth Sect has been chosen, it has something special about it. Maybe the Qingyuan Hu family has many ideas since it has come, or maybe the Tongyin Meng family has worked hard to save this situation, so there must be a back-up man. One after another.

But Hu Ma has no intention of staying outside and fighting with them. Now he has mastered the ability to enter the mansion, broke through the three pillars of Taoism, and refined the evil ghosts of the Meng family.

 With a clean and pure family fortune, it is the best time to come and retrieve the Hu family's tokens.

Then come and get it.

No matter what tricks or schemes the other party has, it can't compare to the serious matter of getting back the Hu family's token first.

It is precisely because of this that, after seeing Yang Gong's current state and having a general understanding of the situation in Mingzhou, he did not delay at all, but took great strides, borrowing the ability of this amount of heavenly boots, all the way Go deep into Laoyin Mountain and return to Dayangzhai.

With this unique ability to travel, it was no longer necessary to ride a donkey or horse and walk for three or four days to get home. It only took most of a day to cross the deep mountains and old forests.

Instead of going back to the village, he found his way to the second master's village outside the village. He returned the boots, and then at the foot of the mountain, he straightened his robes that had been blown to pieces by the wind, and returned them to Xiao Hongtang's arms. In the jar, I took a piece of oil paper wrapped with more than four kilograms of blood food and held it in my hand.

“Second Master, how are you doing recently?”

When he entered Zhuangzi, he smiled and said before seeing anyone, "I'll come back to see you."

“The issues that Second Master cares about are still so simple…”

The second master stood up in a hurry, welcomed Hu Ma and sat inside the house, with disgust in his mouth: "You, second master, when will I go into the forest to hunt when I want to eat meat? How can I still lack your meat?"

In Zhuangzi, the second master was leading a group of young ones, and the big horse golden sword pointed them to practice the postures. When he saw Hu Ma coming in, he almost knocked over the teapot. He was surprised and said: "It's not the New Year, it's not the festival. Why are you back?"

"It's nothing else. I just saw that people are hungry outside now. Those who used to be full are now full and hungry. I don't know what the situation is like in our village, so I came back to take a look. I also brought some food back.”

I just feel like this guy is talking nonsense now. Does the Red Lantern Lady know who you are?

“Why did you come back empty-handed when you returned to the village this time?”

After entering the room, he turned around and looked Hu Ma up and down. There was indescribable satisfaction in his brows, and then he lowered his voice again: "Did something happen to your kid?"

Hearing this, Hu Ma couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Second Master, what are you worried about? I am getting along well with the Red Lantern Lady..."

As he spoke, he thought about it and said with a smile: "Recently, I have been taken more seriously by the club and promoted..."

 “Are you still using this courtesy?”

 You run hundreds of miles in one day, do you think you're just running around?

 But all of these were not as powerful as hearing the last sentence, and they were all shocked: "Promoted again? Are you now the shopkeeper?"

A group of children in the village were a little surprised when they saw Hu Ma. They knew that this was the most promising young man in the village, and their eyes were full of curiosity and awe.

　　　…”

The more I thought about it, the weirder it became. Suddenly I became nervous. I was afraid that the children outside would hear me, so I lowered my voice and said, "Have you been kicked out by the Red Light Society?"

"What?"

"correct…"

"I said I was bringing food back this time, but the carriages and horses carrying the food were moving slowly. I asked them to drive back slowly. I didn't ride horses because I was practicing the posture. Now I have learned how to do it really well. It won’t take more than a day to get back from the city.”

Hu Ma smiled and said: "Hey, this is the meat I will cut for you when I come, and I will bring it to you to replenish your body."

Second Master was confused by what Hu Ma said, why is he so good with the Red Lantern Lady, why can he be back in one day...

 “And, where is the horse?”

"You came back in previous years with a carriage and a horse, and it was very beautiful, but this time you seem to be running back?"

　　　…”

Hu Ma was about to answer, but saw the second master's surprised look, but took it back. He really had to be considerate of the old man. After he told her about his experiences in the past few years, he didn't necessarily believe it, but became worried.

Then he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm still a steward. It's just that I used to be a steward in Zhuangzi, but now I'm a steward in the Blood Food Mine... Of course, the wages are more."

 “Steward at the Blood Food Mine?”

The second master's mind instantly flashed into the mind of those big and round old men who he had to deal with every year. He was slightly dizzy with joy and felt a little unreal, so he hurriedly said: "You are not bragging, are you?"

"If you become a steward, wouldn't you be able to lead the people in our village to cut blood and feed them? Then who would dare to deduct our wages from now on? We will save a lot of money every year in filial piety!"

Hu Ma smiled and said: "I do have this plan. If not, the second master will take the manpower to my mine next year to cut blood for food!"

Second Master has not yet delved into whether this sentence is true or false, he is happy even if it is false.

As for the piece of blood food that Hu Ma gave him, he didn't even look at it, and just threw it into the jar of green food next to him. Hu Ma looked at it and wanted to remind him, but suddenly felt that it was not necessary, so he let it go. Second Master, just let it go.

They immediately arranged for the young ones to work hard in the village, but the second master locked the door and went out together to send Hu Ma back to the village.

When we got to the road, he asked: "What's the hunger panic you mentioned? There seems to be nothing different in our village. It's the same as in previous years. It's impossible to eat every meal, but it's not like starving to death." What is the level of human beings..." ˆ ˆ ˆ "In Laoyin Mountain, there are tigers who control Fuze. It is indeed different from other places..."

Hu Ma was slightly relieved after hearing what the second master said, and thought to herself as she followed the second master back.

These villages in the mountains have little communication with the outside world and have been poor for generations. However, the more they are like this, the easier it is to avoid heavy taxes and military disasters. In peacetime, they did not enjoy blessings, but in wartime, they were rarely affected. This is a gain and a loss. Yes, the most typical interpretation.

At present, there are some signs in the cities, counties and villages on the outskirts of Laoyin Mountain, but compared with other states and counties, they are still good.

 It is the tiger who controls it, so this Laoyin Mountain, which is 800 miles away, has such good fortune.

 But it is also because of this that this place has become a granary in the eyes of others. Those who want to do big things will first focus on such a place.

 Back at the village, the second master yelled, and everyone immediately knew that Hu Ma was back. The old patriarch and several elderly people in the village also threw down their hands.

At first, I saw that Hu Ma came back empty-handed. He didn't lead a mule or horse to travel, and he didn't bring anything with him. He felt a little sad. It wasn't that he was greedy for those things, but he was just worried that something might happen to Hu Ma outside. But again It’s not easy to ask right away.

“Don’t blink like that…”

When the second master saw it, he laughed angrily and said, "That's the way you are, let me tell you!"

"Little Huma is now promising. He has learned his skills and has become a steward at the Blood Food Mine. He has bought several carts of grain and is transporting it to the stockade. Why don't they ride horses? Because he has learned the magic and is on the road. It’s much faster than riding a horse.”

“In the early years, when I was outside, I heard that some people would recruit imps to carry a sedan chair, and they would run so fast!”

　　　…”

When the old patriarch and several elders in the village heard this, their worries immediately turned into joy, and they gathered around to ask what happened.

"I've just started to learn, and I'm not that good yet... I'm not very good at lifting a sedan chair."

Hu Ma also tried hard not to sound like bragging, and explained with a smile: "But it's true that I have been transferred to the blood food mine now. It will be much more convenient to do anything in the future. I am worried that I don't have any help from my own people, so I can turn back to the people in the village." It can also be passed..."

“…I’ll let the second master make the final decision on these matters.”

　　　…”

 Everyone in the village became happy and hurriedly asked how other people were doing.

Hu Ma also talked about it one by one, mentioning Zhou Datong and Li Wazi, both of whom were promising and had become managers, especially Li Wazi, who was now on his own.

Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu are both serious about learning their skills. Zhou Liang is becoming more and more calm now and has great ideas when encountering problems. Zhao Zhu is even more powerful. He is extremely brave in the cross-handed technique. When he returned to the village, no one was His opponent.

In joy, the Second Master set up a banquet, and Datong, Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu, and Li Wazi's families all sent wine and food here. After a lively meal, Hu Ma took the opportunity to ask: "Second Master, what's going on here?" I still have something to do when I get back from the trip, how is it going with Old Yangpi?"

Hearing this, the second master became a little worried: "It's getting more and more haunted there..."

"Back then, your mother-in-law left some arrangements, and most of the things inside couldn't come out, but the Yin Qi was getting stronger and stronger. During the day, you could hear something crying inside. At night, it was even more lively and busy. It’s like a big gathering…”

"Many of the people in Mang Village couldn't stay any longer and wanted to move out. Brother Lao Yangpi couldn't hold himself back and went there by himself. As a result, he was washed away and couldn't go to the ground for two months."

"Actually, he came to our village just two days ago. He wanted to ask questions, but I persuaded him to go back."

　　　…”

The clan chiefs and elders next to him also said after hearing this: "Yes!"

“Even here, there seem to be a lot of evil spirits.”

“If I want to go out now, I will carry twice as much pond ash with me. As soon as the sun passes over the treetops, I have to go back. I am afraid that something will happen as soon as it gets dark.”

　　　…”

'The incident in Juehu Village should not affect this place. It may be due to other reasons. The evil spirits in this world will become more serious when the world is relaxed. But even people in the deep mountains and old forests cannot avoid this. It's just the clan leader. I don’t know, it’s Jueto Murakami who is to blame. ’

Hu Ma thought silently, and then slowly said: "You can't blame Old Yangpi for this."

“My mother-in-law promised them that she would help solve the problem within ten years. Now, it’s almost ten years, right?”

　　　…”

“He came over to ask, isn’t that what he was asking?”

Hearing this, the second master lost all the joy of drinking and just looked at Hu Ma worriedly: "But are you sure now?"

  “Have it.”

Hu Ma didn’t say anything unnecessary. He just nodded slowly and said, “When I came back this time, I planned to go over and take a look.”
