Twilight Boundary

There is nothing else in our lives but honesty!

Even though we don’t tell Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun and the guys in Zhuangzi about the things Xiang Girl asked us to bring over, we still have to give them to people, right?

Even, I was afraid that they would be difficult to hold, so I took the initiative to replace them with easy-to-use ones.

When the guys and uncles and aunts in the village saw so many things, they were all happy from ear to ear. They all praised Xiang Yatou for really being a young lady from a wealthy family. They each brought so many gifts and brought so many gifts. Two taels of silver...

...It’s simply scary!

Especially Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun, who have worked in small restaurants all their lives and have never had to wear such good cloth!

Not to mention, they had a great meal. Before leaving, Hu Ma quietly gave them twenty taels of silver, saying that it was specially given by Xiang Yatou to thank the two of them for taking care of them during this time.

The old couple were moved to tears.

As for the waiters, Hu Ma was even more honest. He distributed all the things brought back by the fragrant girl in two baskets, such as sugar, meat, shredded tobacco, tiger cloth, silver ornaments, etc., and didn't keep any for himself.

He also said to Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu: "I have been here this time. Xiang Yatou's family is very generous and she is also a member of the family. She gave me some skills. How much oil lamp money have you earned? I will pay you directly later." Just come into my hands."

"If there's not enough left, just do it like this for now, and then you can make more money when you have the ability."

"..."

When Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu heard this, they were immediately moved.

They were extremely envious of Zhou Datong, but Zhou Datong always showed off in front of them, and they even wanted to strangle him to death.

Now, I finally have the opportunity to step into the doorway...

"I've been practicing the postures diligently recently. There is enough green food here. I will give each of you a blood food pill."

Hu Ma told the two of them again: "Bring your fire up, and when the roots are solid, I will teach you how to enter."

"As for the recent affairs in Zhuangzi, it's better for you to help take care of them first. I'm out for this trip and I have a lot of things to deal with, so I can't take care of them for the time being."

"..."

When Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu heard this, they were so excited that they almost cried.

"That's no problem. There haven't been many things going on in Zhuangzi lately."

Zhou Datong listened and said beside him: "But Brother Mazi, if you have other matters, you have to decide!"

"It won't be another month until we have to go back to the village to celebrate the New Year. How do you think we will calculate the money and food in our village?"

"..."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Hu Ma was startled: "Another year has passed?"

Looking up, I saw that it was already winter and all the leaves on the trees had fallen off, but it suddenly dawned on me that it was indeed the time to celebrate the New Year again.

While Hu Ma was thinking about it, Zhou Liang next to him counted on his fingers: "Actually, there won't be much money and money this year. In the first half of the year, we were busy with the blood food mine, so we just received money and food."

"Later, there was trouble in the village, and all the money in the village was given to the ghosts who came to help. The meeting actually said that we would cancel the account and make up for it."

"But now the inside is tight and I haven't made up for it yet..."

"..."

"That's true..."

Hu Ma only reacted after listening to his words.

I've had a lot of luck this year, but from Zhuangzi's point of view, I'm really nervous.

I think it was the last time Xu Xiangzhu cried to him about poverty. It was not a lie. The Red Lantern Society had to build a temple again and give evidence to the superiors. It also had to make full preparations to win the business of the Tsing Yi Gang and appease the gang members. , Recruiting new people, can you not be nervous about this?

After thinking about it for a moment, he smiled and said, "One code equals one code."

"We have to make the guys feel better and better every year, so they can be more motivated to work, right?"

"So, if you guys ask this year, tell them that they will definitely bring back more money and food than last year. You don't have to worry about this. If this is not enough, I will pay it out first, and then go to Xu Xiang to settle the account."

"..."

Zhou Datong and other brothers were very moved when they heard this. Brother Mazi was the better one. He was afraid that his brothers would suffer a loss no matter what he did, so he would rather cut his own flesh.

"However, you guys should also remember that after we return to the village this year, don't say that I became the shopkeeper or anything like that."

Hu Ma actually remembered this serious matter and warned Zhou Datong and the others.

Zhou Datong and the others were a little confused and looked at him blankly, while Hu Ma let out a long sigh and said: "It's too scary..."

"Let's go back and tell you, the second master doesn't know what he thinks we have done that is so evil!"

"So I'm keeping a low profile this year. When I go back, I'll have a meal with my family and burn incense sticks in front of the old fire pond. I have to come back quickly. There are so many things waiting to be busy..."

"..."

When I go back to celebrate the New Year this year, I must explain this matter clearly.

Last year, I became a small steward, and everyone in the village felt that I was promising. When I paid homage to the old man, he had to kneel in front of him, he also offered sacrifices to the forest, and even set up a banquet for people to eat.

If he went back this year and said that he had been promoted again and became the shopkeeper, Hu Ma wouldn't know what the second master and the old patriarch could do?

It's possible to beat gongs and drums all over the forest.

Therefore, just say that you are in charge, and this status is enough to walk around in the village.

After giving these instructions, Hu Ma sent them away and returned to the inner courtyard. He sighed softly and began to make plans.

It's tiring to raise the guys...

I have to think about their cultivation, and the money and food they brought back for the New Year, and the sudden expense of going out...

...One-tenth of the leftover materials will be used.

Tsk!

After sighing for a while, he carefully counted the things under his bed and took a deep breath. It was difficult to describe his feeling at this moment.

There are two large baskets of bacon hidden under the bed. How many big bags does this have?

Moreover, Hu Ma today has seen the world. He usually only eats free food as meat, and green food is only emergency dry food. If he eats blood...

...Of course it's still a treasure, but at least it's not as rare as the first sight.

But now, what is this that Xiang Yatou asked me to bring back?

Although it has been smoked, you can still see the faintly red flesh under the layer of grease, so is this blood Tai Sui?

But if you look carefully, it seems that there is something different. Under the vaguely red flesh, there is a faint golden glow. This golden glow is also different from Jinsi Taisui, which is born from the flesh. Threads of gold are specially designed to treat damage to the soul.

The bacon brought back by Xiang Yatou's family has an overall golden temperament, but in essence, it seems to be of the nature of blood Taisui. One glance can make one's own qi and blood vaguely float.

"Isn't it possible that the blood of Tai Sui is divided into high and low grades?"

Hu Ma secretly wondered: "Or is it something that actually exceeds the quality of blood Tai Sui?"

It's a pity that good things can't be exposed to light casually, so I can only cut off a small piece first, and then meet Master Xu Xiang or the knowledgeable old priest in the meeting to show it.

"Suck..."

Just as he was thinking about it, a gust of cool wind suddenly blew around him. Xiao Hongtang also squatted beside him, his eyes widened, and he just looked at the pile of things without saying a word, just looking at it. He is very well-behaved and sensible, but he is not very talkative.

Hu Ma thought for a moment, then carefully cut off another piece from the small piece she had cut off, and gave it to Xiao Hongtang.

"They are all of great use..."

Seeing Xiao Hongtang swallowing it in one gulp, looking like she was still unsatisfied, he hurriedly closed the lid and said to Xiao Hongtang seriously: "You can't eat it secretly, and don't tell others."

"Xiao Hongtang never steals food."

When Xiao Hongtang heard this, she pouted angrily, folded her little arms, and said, "I don't even eat secretly when I'm with my mother-in-law."

"So good."

Hu Ma hurriedly patted Xiao Hongtang's arm, then grabbed a large handful of Qingshi's dried meat from the jar beside the bed and handed it to Xiao Hongtang.

Xiao Hongtang leaned her little head over and smelled it, then left in disgust.

Only Hu Ma stayed there blankly: "This kid can't even look down on green food now?"

After setting everything up, he made a cup of tea and sat silently on the master's chair, thinking about things and drinking. After roughly making a plan, he made the bed and went to bed to rest.

He fell asleep in a daze, with consciousness in his heart. Not long after, he arrived in front of the Benming Temple, and saw behind the incense table, the golden limbs and blood vessels like gold threads and the internal organs suspended in mid-air.

After calming down for a while, Hu Ma came to the incense burner and began to call in a low voice: "Xiao Bai...oh no, is Miss White Wine here?"

After calling only twice, Miss White Wine's voice rang: "Back?"

"How was your experience on this trip?"

"..."

"very smooth!"

Hearing Miss White Wine's voice, Hu Ma finally felt like she was truly back, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the help of Miss Red Wine from Anzhou, the Dongzi Li family's affairs have been settled."

“You’re a man, you’ve gained a lot of knowledge!”

"..."

"As long as it goes well."

Miss Baijiu also smiled lightly and said, "I'm curious, since you made this trip, what do you think of the people in Anzhou now?"

"Very arrogant and bold."

Hu Ma said: "But they are also very loyal. What they do is very different from us."

Miss White Wine was noncommittal, but there seemed to be a smile in her voice as she said, "So, what about Red Wine? What do you think of her?"

"she……"

Hu Ma was stunned for a moment. For a moment, it was difficult to define her. After a pause, she suddenly smiled and said, "She asked me to send you a sealed letter."

Miss White Wine was slightly startled: "What?"

Hu Ma had been preparing these words all the way, and now she felt a little pressured to say it out. After a pause, she gathered up the courage and whispered: "She said she used the secret medicine in Jiximen to help you mix it. Rouge out.”

"Beautify your skin, make you glowing white, and even plump..."

"Feng Ji..."

"..."

Miss White Wine's breathing suddenly became heavier, and Hu Ma even sounded a little scared.

Then he suddenly heard her sneer, and her voice became louder: "She still has time to think about this, so she should take care of herself first!"

"Don't even look at where that birthmark is!"
