Twilight Boundary

"You come?"

Just when he was hesitating and distressed, Hu Ma's words immediately attracted both pairs of eyes.

Hu Ma met their gazes and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiang girl and I are destined to be together. I picked her up in the river. She is also diligent and gets along well with the guys in our village. Now we are all friends."

"Saving her is a meritorious deed of mine. My mother-in-law taught me that if you help someone, you should help her to the end. If the old shopkeeper has a way to save her, just use medicine. No matter what, I will listen to the medicine money for her."

He smiled and felt quite proud, and said: "God help me at least. Now I am not begging for food in the village. I have joined the Blood Food Society and I have received dozens of taels of silver every month." , I think this medicine money should be enough for her."

"this……"

After Hu Ma said these words, the old housekeeper's face was full of excitement, but the shopkeeper Wugui was surprised, his expression was slightly embarrassed, he coughed, and then lowered his voice and said:

"Little brother, you are a kind-hearted person, but you have little experience."

"Now that you are successful, you are indeed receiving money and food from the Blood Food Gang, but do you know how much money it will cost to treat her?"

"..."

"Is it expensive?"

Hu Ma was slightly curious and said, "I have seen a lot of blood food."

"Different."

Shopkeeper Five Ghosts smiled helplessly and said: "Blood food is naturally precious, but it can be harvested from blood food mines everywhere. If you can't harvest it this year, you can harvest it next year. But if you want to cure this girl, you need to It’s the golden silk Tai Sui.”

"This is not like black, white, green and red, which can be harvested every year. Occasionally, it is harvested from a blood food mine, but it will not grow the next year. It is a priceless thing."

"To tell you the truth, this kind of thing is not even commonly available in our shop. After all, its uses are not that wide. Only our lady has a little, but it is still useful."

"By agreeing to let him go, she has already shown the face of her colleagues in the Jianghu community."

"..."

As soon as he said this, the old housekeeper became worried again, his face turned bitter, but he couldn't say it, obviously he knew it was the truth.

"ah?"

Hu Ma was also slightly stunned: "How much does it cost?"

"price?"

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts smiled and said slowly: "We won't pay less than ten times the price of blood food."

"What?"

Hu Ma was shocked...

...Now I'm not acting, I'm really surprised.

Is the white wine lady too dark?

Can the price of gold Tai Sui be ten times that of blood Tai Sui? She said she would do herself a favor, but was this favor a bit too exaggerated?

If it can be sold for ten times the price of the blood Tai Sui, doesn't it mean that the piece of gold pattern Tai Sui that he and Erguotou and others got at the beginning can be worth hundreds of kilograms of blood Tai Sui in one fell swoop?

His surprise seemed very reasonable in the eyes of the other two.

A kind-hearted little shopkeeper, but somewhat lacking in knowledge, was willing to pay for the medicine, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive and was frightened.

"But……"

Even the old housekeeper couldn't persuade Hu Ma at this time. He just looked at the shopkeeper Wugui with some anxiety and said: "It's always important to save people, please be kind to the shopkeeper..."

"Can you give me the medicine on credit first? I will keep my life here until I report it to you. Even if the price is ten times higher, the Dongzi Li family can give it to me."

"..."

He actually knows that Cao Xintang is now asking for prices, but it is not too much, because the shopkeeper Wugui is right, the golden pattern Tai Sui is not harvested regularly, it is something with a price but no market. .

Now it's not that others ask for a price, it's that you spend money to buy your life. Only if someone has something to save your life, then no matter how high the price is, it is reasonable.

"Brother, please don't say this..."

But after hearing what the old shopkeeper said, Shopkeeper Five Ghosts shook his head and said, "You are making things difficult for us. There are rules in the world."

"We have already broken the rules and looked at it for your young lady. The longevity locks are all given away."

"But now it's really impossible to confirm your identities, and you don't have a token. Just saying that you want to come to us to lend us the golden pattern Tai Sui on credit is a bit..."

At this point, he stopped talking and just sighed: "Although your Guidongzi Li family is far away from here, maybe there are some distant relatives and friends here? Otherwise, you can ask the little messenger Gui to deliver a message, and you can find it." With someone as guarantee, we can feel more at ease!"

"Guarantee..."

The old housekeeper was obviously hesitant, as if he couldn't think of anyone who could help here. He suddenly reacted and suddenly turned to look at Hu Ma, but hesitated to speak.

"The heat has arrived..."

Hu Ma noticed it, but she just pretended to be embarrassed and deliberately turned her head away, not meeting his gaze.

"You two should discuss it, I have to go to the lady to return to my life."

Shopkeeper Wugui noticed something, shook his head, sighed, and said to Hu Ma: "It's just, little brother, when I looked at your mother-in-law, I knew she was kind-hearted, but... it's not easy to make a living!"

He didn't know what Hu Ma had discussed with Miss White Wine, he was just a kind reminder at this moment.

Even this reminder can only be concealed. How can I say it?

Tell Hu Ma clearly not to save people?

And when the shopkeeper of Five Ghosts walked out, the old housekeeper of the Li family finally calmed down and suddenly turned around and looked at Hu Ma.

"Hey, don't kneel..."

Hu Ma predicted his kneeling and quickly stretched out her hand to stop him, saying: "Old sir, I understand what you mean."

"But don't make it difficult for me..."

As he spoke, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he said: "I was planning to listen to this medicinal gold, but I...I only thought it was a matter of dozens of taels of silver. No matter how high I am, what can I do? I climbed to the level of blood food." In the position of helping this little shopkeeper, I can only earn so much in a month."

This is not hypocritical. A few dozen taels of silver is already a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

Hu Ma wanted to agree directly, but at least he was doing the whole thing, and he was not a fool. He, a small shopkeeper, had to claim such a high amount of medicine, so it would be strange not to have any doubts.

The old housekeeper was also a little embarrassed to talk about it, but now he didn't have any doubts about Hu Ma, but he was just troubled in his heart.

After a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth, as if he had made some kind of determination.

Hu Ma refused to kneel down, so he clasped his fists and said in a solemn voice: "My benefactor, my surname is Dong, and my name is Liangshun. I was originally a well-known trader in the world. Later, I was rescued by the Guidongzi Li family, and then I was willing to join the Li family." Be this steward.”

"I'm not a very generous person, but I've never done anything unconscionable in my life."

"Now, I just want to save our young lady. I only hope that my benefactor will save her until the end and give us a helping hand."

"I am willing to make an IOU, make a poisonous oath, and even hand over my birth date and use this old life as a guarantee. As long as the benefactor saves our young lady, I will definitely repay the debt three times later."

"If I fail my benefactor even a little bit, I will be struck by thunder and die badly."

"..."

Even in the previous life, making such a poisonous oath would make people feel panicked.

Things are even more serious in this world, and Hu Ma can see how decisive this old housekeeper is.

But there was still a bitter smile on his face, and he said hesitantly: "No matter how venomous you keep saying, no one can say what will happen in the future. I only know that if I bear such a large sum of money, what will happen if I bear it?" If I get into trouble, I'm afraid my whole life will be ruined here."

The old housekeeper could naturally hear the sincerity of these words.

Listening to his conversation with the shopkeeper of Five Ghosts, I could tell that this little shopkeeper was still making a living in the village last year, and now he can join the Blood Food Gang as the shopkeeper. It can be said that he is blessed by his ancestors.

To the people in the village, this was even more rare than getting the top prize in the exam.

If such a precious future is ruined, no matter who it is, they won't be able to survive.

He couldn't force it to save him, so he could only lower his head deeply.

Hu Ma, on the other hand, looked very embarrassed now. After a long time, she sighed, lowered her head and looked at the unconscious girl Xiang, and whispered: "But after all, it is a human life..."

"I don't blame you, I only blame the girl Xiang. I saved her with my own hands. I don't want to see her lose her life in such a stupid way again. I have to gamble like this for her...

"...I really don't know if it's worth it."

"..."

"ah?"

The old housekeeper suddenly heard this and saw that Hu Ma was a little loose. His face was full of excitement and he said repeatedly: "It's worth it, it's worth it. Don't worry, my benefactor. The Li family will never break their promises. You saved our young lady's life. Li Mansion Everyone from top to bottom is grateful to the great virtue."

"Has it been discussed?"

Just as he was talking, the shopkeeper of Five Ghosts also came down. Looking at the two of them, one sighing and the other grateful, he knew it.

He sighed and said, "I just asked the young lady. She said that you, the little shopkeeper of the Blood Food Gang, are a moral person. Our Cao Xin Tang is willing to make you our friend."

"of course……"

"I admire you, I admire you, but if you really want to take this guarantee, if you can't get back the medicine money, then Cao Xintang will have to ask the Red Lantern Society for debt. I don't think your queen will help you to pay for it. Account."

"..."

Hu Ma sighed helplessly and said, "But so what, watching people die?"

"Old senior, don't say anything more, lest I suddenly change my mind. Bring me the receipt and I'll sign it!"

"..."

When the old butler next to him heard this, the arrogance he had in his heart suddenly shattered, leaving no trace left. He had knelt down several times before, but was stopped by Hu Ma. This time, he did not kneel down, but bowed deeply. In the end, two old tears came out of my eyes:

"My young lady has gone through a lot of hardships to survive this calamity, but to be able to meet such a righteous person like my benefactor and turn the bad luck into good fortune is really..."

"...God really cares about the hard work of my Li family!"

"..."

For a time, not only the shopkeeper Five Ghosts sighed with emotion, but also the old housekeeper was moved, and even the waiters in the shop also heard what was going on.

Although it seems that if you take the burden for someone else, you will get at least three times the profit later, it seems to be a sure-fire business, but in this world, how can there be so many good things?

They all looked at Hu Ma secretly, not knowing whether the little shopkeeper was lucky or falling into a big hole.
