Twilight Boundary

"Sure enough, Xiang Yatou's fainting has something to do with the old housekeeper..."

Hu Ma sighed lowly, feeling ridiculous for a moment. At first, when Xiang Yatou fainted for no reason, they all suspected that it was the old housekeeper, but his acting was so good that he dispelled everyone's doubts.

After all, Xiang girl's memory was recovering, but when Leng Buding saw him, she remembered many things, and the old housekeeper could only take action immediately.

Otherwise, while Xiang Yatou is awake, there will be too many things that he can't explain, let alone coaxing people like himself.

After confirming that the girl had really woken up, he hurriedly reached out and took her out of the coffin, and said with some concern: "Then how much do you know about your family?"

"I remember..."

Xiang girl looked panicked. She was weak, but her eyes burst into tears: "Dad, you are still waiting for me in the cave."

"If I don't go back, the things in the ghost cave will come out, and everyone in the Li family will not survive..."

"..."

"What?"

Hearing the confused and anxious words of Xiang Yatou, Hu Ma was a little confused.

From what the housekeeper said just now, it sounded like the entire Li family was hiding from some cursed fate, and the rush to "exile" Xiang girl had something to do with it.

But when the fragrant girl woke up, why did she say that if she didn't go back, the people in the Li family would die?

My mind was really filled with too many things that I didn't understand, but seeing that Xiang Yatou had just woken up, a little confused, with red eyes and tears, she could only make a decision first.

Taking a deep breath, Xiang Xiang girl said: "Don't worry, think about the matter carefully and tell us about it, but now we leave here first!"

So he hurriedly packed up the car again, and put the butler's body directly into the coffin, which was abandoned here. Now in the dark, Xiang Yatou had just woken up and was still confused, not knowing that the body belonged to the butler.

The group of people hurried down the hillside and came to the official road.

Just where to go needs to be considered. The housekeeper said that there are people from the Li family waiting in front. If they catch up, they will be in trouble.

So Hu Ma simply felt relieved and took everyone directly to Dongchang Mansion.

Anyway, all the people who came with the Beggar Gang were killed by him. Cui Ganniang and others were also dead, so this place was actually safe.

It's late at night now, and the city gate has long been closed, but Hu Ma naturally has a way.

First, he found a low place and listened carefully. There was no one patrolling up there, so he used the skill of a ghost to climb the steps and brought people into the city one by one. However, it was difficult to place the cart and the donkey. But first find a secluded place to tie him up and pick him up the next day.

Entering the city, avoiding the watchman, they woke up the door of an inn.

After giving money, asking for hot water, and ordering a few bowls of noodles, I had time to ask carefully.

Xiang Yatou was just flustered now, as if the matter was too big and she was frightened. She said to Hu Ma: "Young master, I understand, I know how I came out."

"But, they all thought wrong..."

"The Li family cannot escape from the ghost cave. The Li family guarding the ghost cave is not a responsibility, but a debt..."

"..."

"Pay off the debt?"

Hu Ma was even more puzzled when he heard it, and said: "How can I retaliate?"

"I remember……"

Xiang Yatou was frightened and said with sobs: "I remember my father told me before I got lost that the Li family, and it turns out that those families who were sent here, actually wanted to Beheaded prisoner.”

"We in Guidongzi are not officials, but prisoners. We were sent here just to watch Guidongzi. Staying here is our family's life..."

"prisoner?"

Listening to Hu Ma, she was already vaguely aware of these things, which might involve things that she had not thought of earlier.

For people in today's world, the emperor is already too far away!

The only thing known about him is that he was skinned.

Even the government only has a name these days and doesn't care about anything at all. Who has the final say in Mingzhou Prefecture?

It's obviously our Red Lantern Club!

But in the end, in such a world, in such a remote place, there are still people there who are always guarding the emperor's orders?

The more he listened, the more he felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought.

He took a deep breath, tensed his mind, and then slowly asked Xiang Yatou the most important question: "What is in the ghost cave?"

"yes……"

Xiang Yatou opened her mouth. She seemed to be a little hesitant about this question.

But facing Hu Ma's serious expression, she couldn't hide anything, so she still said it: "It's the underworld."

"The ghost cave is the gate of ghosts."

"The entire Lingshou Mansion, no, even the entire Anzhou, will end up in a ghost cave after death!"

"..."

"What?"

Hu Ma was quite surprised and stood up directly.

He subconsciously looked at Agu Zhang, but saw that Agu Zhang also opened his eyes wide. Such a big sneak was frightened.

Is there really a gate to hell in this world?

In the rumors, don’t they say that the gate of hell has been closed?

Then why is there such a place in Lingshou Mansion? There are even living people guarding it for generations?

There were a lot of things to ask in my heart, but Xiang Yatou looked at him and said: "Master, I don't want to hide anything from you. You are a good person. You are the only good person I have met after leaving home." .”

"But my father told me not to tell outsiders what happened in the cave. Even most people in our Li family don't know about this matter..."

"My father said that there are some things that no living person should inquire about, otherwise, if you know too much, you will be taken away by the things in the ghost cave."

"..."

Hu Ma also calmed down immediately.

He loves to inquire about things, but he also believes that anything is possible in this world.

Maybe there are really some things, and after people inquire about them, they won't know what they have offended and caused trouble.

"I have to go back as soon as possible."

Xiang Yatou's anxiety is obvious: "No one in the family understands Dad. I'm afraid... I'm afraid of what they will do."

"call!"

Seeing her anxious expression, Hu Ma nodded slightly.

It was necessary to send her back. Of course, obviously, I had to hesitate for a while.

The normal little shopkeeper of the Blood Food Gang is just a good person, but when he encounters so much trouble at once, it is impossible not to give up.

But in fact, for me, although the Li family's affairs are troublesome, the more it becomes like this, the more I have to go to Anzhou. When things have reached this point, I can no longer just go back if I want to. , the loss is too big.

Therefore, we should go further and see how the situation is.

Of course, that's what he said, but the Li family's family was too complicated and involved some secrets, so he couldn't be so stubborn.

It's better to go to Anzhou first, meet up with the red wine ladies there, and then discuss things.

So after a long silence, he lowered his head and told Xiang Yatou not to be afraid, he would take her home, but now that she was awake, the journey would be faster.

Hu Ma first asked everyone to go to bed and rest for a while, then he found Aunt Zhang, as well as the handlebar type and two assistants who had been working honestly along the way, and said: "Everyone has also worked hard along the way. "

"Now that she is awake, we need to travel lightly on the road ahead. I can just take her directly to Anzhou. If we encounter trouble again, it will be easier for the two of us to escape."

"Our work is done when we get here. You can take it with you now. You can take it with you now. You can also write a note to us when you go back. You can collect it from our village. Don't worry about it this time. Hire carriages and horses, and all the money will come to me."

"..."

Hearing that he could go back, Handlebar and the two guys were a little surprised.

Normally, I should be polite, but considering the dangers along the way, I really can't say anything polite.

They were really scared.

After giving instructions to the driver and the waiter, Hu Ma looked at Aunt Zhang again and said, "Agu, we don't need to say polite words."

"Although you refused to be my master along the way, you taught me a lot. You even helped the disciples to keep the altar as a ghost. This time, I also suffered a big loss."

"Not to mention anything else, of course the money you paid for coming here is indispensable."

"And after you return to Mingzhou, you will live in peace and quiet, close the door, don't wander around, and don't stand up. Everything will be discussed when I return to Mingzhou."

"Although I am a mixed-race food gang member, I also know a few seniors. I think I can find a way to solve the problem that is troubling you."

"..."

Aunt Zhang was obviously surprised after hearing Hu Ma's words.

She was just comforting herself at that time. After all, only she knew about her family's affairs. How could anyone from the Blood Food Gang think of a way to solve the problem of the Five Evil Gods invited to the hall?

But seeing Hu Ma speaking with great seriousness and clear eyes, she couldn't help but believe him. She nodded and said, "I understand, let's go back and take a rest first."

After finishing the explanation, Hu Ma took out another blood food pill and gave it to Aunt Zhang to take.

Aunt Zhang was surprised. She had already eaten one of such an expensive item earlier, so why would she want to eat it again?

Hu Ma insisted on letting her eat, and helped them settle down a little. At the mule and horse shop in Dongchang Prefecture, he found out that a large caravan with a large number of people was about to set off to the south, so he gave money and arranged for Agu Zhang and the others. Follow along all the way.

Of course, not only did he accompany him, he also had to go to the city to take his donkey and bring him all the way back to Mingzhou. He and Xiang Yatou had to ride horses behind, so the donkey couldn't take care of it.

The good thing is that the folk customs here are good, and the donkey has not been taken away.

After arranging for them to go back, Hu Ma took a deep breath, returned to the city again, and hired a few horses.

Using the techniques they learned from Butler Zhou, they simply disguised themselves, and then the two of them took the side door and left the city.

I took the nearest road and headed straight to Anzhou.

The two of them hurried on and rode a fast horse. Although it was harder, the speed was obviously faster.

They were careful along the way, avoiding unknown troubles, traveling day and night, not daring to delay, but on the seventh day, they had already reached the border of Anzhou.
