Twilight Boundary

"Little Huma, are you okay? Just give me a squeak..."

"You bastard, don't come here to scare your second master. You are still young. I can't afford to pay for it with my life..."

"Which evil spirit is so bold that he dares to raise this evil mist to stop us, grab you and throw you into the pit..."

"Bah, bah, hey!"

"..."

Now the Second Master, Old Yangpi and others waiting outside the forest were all frightened.

Just now they were burning incense and making offerings outside, but suddenly they heard strong winds blowing in the direction of Juehu Village, and ghosts and ghosts howling. Not long after, they heard thunder and thunder again, and even where they were, the sky felt cloudy. It was heavy, as if the sky had suddenly turned dark.

Just as they were worried, they heard the last roar, the earth trembled, sand and rocks flew, and they, who were a mile away from the village, were shaken by the huge movement and fell down.

After a long time to calm down, they saw that the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle. The depression and gloominess that came from the direction of the village earlier had dissipated, but they were just worried about how Hu Ma was doing and hurriedly came in.

But they were obviously only one mile away from Juehu Village, but they walked for a long time without reaching it. Deep in the forest, thick fog rose up from unknown time.

They groped forward in the mist, but no matter how they walked, they could not find the Juehu village that should be close at hand. Suddenly they began to panic again. While searching, they called Hu Ma's name in the forest. Talking obscenely.

"It's coming, it's coming, Second Master, don't scold me, I'm coming out..."

The Hu Ma in the village were all startled. They nodded hurriedly to the tiger, picked up the box and strode out.

Mountain people often encounter evil spirits, charming ghosts, and ghosts breaking walls. The solution is to curse fiercely. The more fierce the curse, the easier it is to find a way. But they don't know that this time it is not evil spirits that block their way, but evil spirits. Tiger...

Seeing the filthy words being said, the tiger was a little embarrassed about being scolded...

"oops……"

And when the anxious crowd saw Hu Ma carrying a stone box and walking out of the rapidly dissipating fog, the second master, the old sheepskin master, and the young man who followed in, suddenly looked happy and hurriedly greeted him. Come up, look around and check.

See if he is injured, his arms and legs are not intact, and someone even pinched him secretly...

...This is to see if he is dead and only one soul has come out.

When it was confirmed that Hu Ma was indeed alive and came out intact, he breathed a sigh of relief. As he was about to take the box that Hu Ma was carrying on his shoulder, the second master said excitedly: "You haven't answered my call for a long time, then what? ...How is the village doing?"

"It's all settled."

Hu Ma looked at the concerned faces and replied with a smile: "The resentment in the village has been dispelled, and the people in the village have their own places to go."

"...Second Master, stop pulling. I'm carrying this box myself. You can't lift it!"

"..."

"The older this kid gets, the more arrogant he becomes..."

The second master even looked unhappy when Hu Ma said: "Who in this village with a radius of a hundred miles doesn't know that you, the second master, and I are very strong?"

"I'm holding three to five hundred kilograms of stone locks in one hand, as if I'm playing with them..."

"..."

Hu Ma had no way to explain it. He understood that the second master saw that he had consumed a lot of his work, his face was pale, and his steps were sloppy, so he hurriedly took over the box. But the key point was that he knew the weight of this box.

The four-pillar Taoist priest could only carry it with all his strength when he entered the mansion to stay up late. If he really handed this thing over to the second master, the old bones would be broken immediately.

"It's really...really solved..."

While he was talking to the second master, the old sheepskin uncle next to him and all the young men were stunned.

They stupidly turned their heads and looked inside. Now that the fog had dispersed, they could see clearly what was inside. There was no longer the dark and swirling wind, the panic and depressive atmosphere that made them feel nervous when they got close, and the He heard the cries of Youxu.

What appeared in front of them was a broken but ordinary mountain village, as if there had been an earthquake.

They were not from the doorway, but with the intuition of living people, they could tell at a glance that this village was different from the previous one.

"yes."

Hu Ma nodded and said to Old Yangpi: "Juehu Village is gone. Now, there is only Shixiazi Village."

"Then this...this..."

Old Sheepskin's lips were trembling, and it was almost difficult to describe his mood at this moment.

For ten years, this desperate village has weighed heavily on the hearts of the people of Mang Village and several surrounding villages, making them breathless. The eldest girl in the village only wants to marry outside, but everyone outside knows that there is a ghost village next to Mang Village. , dare not come inside.

After a while, I'm afraid the Python Village will be gone.

Old Mr. Yangpi always dreamed of solving the problems in this village, but now, is it really solved so easily?

Looking at Hu Ma's young face, he couldn't believe his eyes for a moment...

Then, when he finally reacted, he suddenly took a deep breath, took a step back, and put a little distance away from Hu Ma. Then, with two trembling arms, he arched upward hard, and his head was strong. Knocked down to Hu Ma.

"ah?"

Hu Ma was startled. He never dared to be hit by others, let alone one at such an old age? To pay such a solemn tribute to yourself?

There was still a box on his shoulder, but he hurriedly stretched out his other hand to support it.

But the old man Yangpi was trying hard to kowtow, but before he could pull him up, the young men of Mang Village behind him saw that the old man was kneeling, so they hurriedly followed him and knelt down, imitating the old man. He looked like an uncle and kowtowed to Hu Ma.

At this time, a large number of people fell to their knees. Even a few young men in Dayang Village did not react and hurriedly knelt down.

It wasn't until someone else pulled them that they said in confusion: "I saw they were all kneeling, so I followed suit..."

"...What can we do? We are not noble people. We won't suffer any loss if we kowtow."

"..."

Hu Ma couldn't pull up so many people, and she couldn't even jump to the side while carrying the stone box, so she was forced to suffer. Vaguely, she actually felt that the box on her shoulders seemed to be a little lighter.

But my heart was slightly touched and I was speechless.

Just think that these heads were not suffered by you, but by the stone box on your shoulders, or the things in the box.

The Hu family in Zhensui has always been poorly blessed, but being grateful like this seems to be able to accumulate a fortune.

"It was originally promised by my mother-in-law. I just finished the things that my mother-in-law had no time to do at the time. Uncle Yangpi really doesn't need to praise me like this."

With a slight sigh, Hu Ma said: "But no matter what, it's good that the matter is resolved. Second Master, Old Yangpi Master, let's go back to the village and talk?"

"Yes, yes, go back to the village, put out the wine, put out the wine."

The second master saw the old Mr. Sheepskin knocking his head to the ground respectfully. His dark face was still extremely serious, but in his heart he was bursting with laughter.

He is a newbie Shou Sui, while Old Yangpi is a self-taught ghost. One is stronger and the other more famous. The other wanted to learn skills when he was young and delayed getting a wife. The other is because his family is too poor and his wife has run away long ago. The salesman ran away.

Although they are both rookies, the two old guys have been pecking at each other very seriously, trying to compete overtly and covertly. But now, look at it, didn't they win Dafa?

Therefore, his voice was louder than Hu Ma: "Juehu Village... the stone box matter has been solved, we have to send these fellow villagers to follow us back to the village, put on the table, play and play..."

In fact, what the second master was thinking was that there was someone more capable than his mother-in-law in Dayang Village. This was the most worthy of celebration.

In addition, the matter in Juehu Village has been resolved, and the people living around it have become more peaceful. Of course, it is worthy of celebration. However, the affairs of the living cannot be more serious than those of the dead, so this shouting is also It can only be sent to these fellow villagers.

One more thing, now Xiao Huma has become more successful, has great abilities, and is working as a steward at the Blood Food Mine.

Can't I help him build his reputation in advance?

If he really wants to bring people to help in the mine next spring, where will he scratch temporarily?

After all, it is our own business. If we want to bring it, we have to bring the most capable meat cutter. Usually when we go to other people's mines, we have to bring more raw melons and eggs. Even if we are not familiar with the work, we can cheat two people's wages. Two wages, my own mine, no need for raw melons and eggs.

When Old Master Yangpi saw the second master shouting like this, he also stood up and shouted: "Put the wine, put the wine, our village will take care of it."

The second master said: "People from our village should go to our village to drink."

The old man Yangpi said: "Go to your village, our village will arrange this banquet."

After saying that, everyone became happy and walked towards Dayangzhai with flax. Some got busy and went to the kiln to dig home-brew local wine, and some went to Mang Village to take sheep and catch chickens.

The elderly people all hurriedly went to the old fire pond to burn incense, saying that the ancestors had blessed them, and there were capable people in the village. The matter in the village with no households was now successfully solved, and the whole village was very blessed. !

Not only did he burn money, but the second master also pushed the flax and kowtowed to the old fire pond to comfort his mother-in-law's spirit in heaven.

In the eyes of the elderly, the things that my mother-in-law left in Shixiazi Village during her lifetime were completed by her own village after her death. This is an extremely honorable event, even more honorable than Hu Ma's success.

How could you not talk about such things to make your mother-in-law happy?

Of course Hu Ma would not refuse. Yiyan went over to kowtow and burn incense. Just looking at the slowly rising incense smoke next to the old fire pond, he could feel the difference in his heart.

In fact, my mother-in-law is no longer in this old fire pit.

At first, my ability was small and my eyesight was low, so I didn't know clearly. But now I understand that what my mother-in-law left here is a ray of body-guarding soul, which exists through obsession. Now that I have grown up and retrieved the token, my mother-in-law has already No more obsession, left here.

If you want to see your mother-in-law, you have to go to the ancestral temple and meet her as a descendant of the Hu family.
