Twilight Boundary

"Entrusted by someone?"

Hu Ma was shocked when he heard this, even more shocked than when Miss White Wine revealed her true identity.

Since she had already guessed her identity, why didn't she make it public?

Who else would be so respectable as to persuade such a cautious person like her to defend herself like this?

Hearing the urgency in his voice, Miss White Wine seemed to be hesitant. She was silent for a long time before whispering, "That person once asked me what he thought of you. The answer I gave at that time was... a person worth trusting."

"Actually, I am not sure if this sentence is completely correct. Maybe I am cautious by nature. It is difficult for me to completely trust a person. I have also observed you and inquired about you from many places."

"Erguotou has done similar things, but I have to admit that I have no reason not to believe you. Sometimes I think your silly and honest reputation is not a joke."

"As for Erguotou, do you really think that he has aroused so many people's suspicion just because of misunderstanding?"

"No, it's just because he has more suspicious points than you!"

"..."

Hu Ma listened to Miss White Wine's question and felt a very strange feeling in his heart.

It was as if a certain gap in his heart was suddenly hit by someone.

As a reincarnated person, he is suspicious by nature. At the beginning, he always wanted to hide his differences from others. This idea still exists now, but as the cooperation between them deepens, he has to start facing up to certain problems and think about exploring them.

However, he does have doubts about himself, so is there really something that Brother Erguotou has not told you frankly?

In addition, let Miss White Wine take care of his people...

"You have done too many things for the reincarnated."

Also in his contemplation, Miss White Wine whispered: "But I need to remind you, don't think that this time the reincarnated gathering is held, everyone can really work together to do one thing."

"A group of reincarnated people are hiding, not participating in the Guazhou gathering, and have not even shown up until now."

"Among them, there are several people we met when we went to Beijing and entrusted our lives to."

"..."

"Are there still reincarnated people hiding?"

Miss White Wine's words made Hu Ma feel a strange meaning in his heart. Because of time problems, the reincarnated people were scattered all over the place. This time, the meeting did not find all the reincarnated people, that's for sure.

Until now, Miss Red Wine has a responsibility in her hands, which is to let more reincarnated people join in, but what Miss White Wine said is clearly not.

What she wants to say is, someone knows about the gathering, but is still hiding in the dark?

"Get your business figured out!"

Miss White Wine sighed in silence and said, "We are not good enough to see through everything."

"Perhaps, when you figure it out, the person who asked me to do it will show up and meet you."

"Yes."

Hu Ma noticed her thoughts and nodded slowly, saying, "I will leave tomorrow and return to Lao Yinshan."

"Before that, I want to borrow something from you."

"..."

"..."

After leaving the natal temple, Hu Ma thought for a while, then suppressed these distracting thoughts and fell asleep.

When they woke up the next day, Zhou Datong and Li Wazi, who had been looking forward to returning to the village to celebrate the New Year and have a good time, had already piled the New Year goods they had bought on the donkey cart, and were unwilling to delay for a moment, for fear of missing the annual fire pond sacrifice in the village.

But Hu Ma still let them wait for two hours. He first wrote a few letters by hand and asked Xiao Hongtang to deliver them to Aunt Zhang and Aunt Qi. Then he saw a white cat on the courtyard wall, holding a bell in its mouth and squatting there with narrowed eyes.

Hu Ma took the bell, put it away carefully, took out a piece of bacon, and chirped twice.

The white cat glanced at him coldly, turned around and ran away.

Hu Ma had no choice but to stuff the bacon into his mouth and chew it slowly. With a whip sound, he drove the donkey cart and headed straight to the depths of Laoyin Mountain.

In previous years, he went back with Datong, Li Wazi, Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu, but this year Zhou Datong and Li Wazi followed him. Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu were fighting with the grain protection army and were not in the town.

However, the opponent this time was not very powerful, so it should not take much time. Before setting off, the two told Zhou Datong that they would go directly back to the village from the army.

It was almost the end of the year, and the New Year was coming in a few days. They did not dare to delay and rushed back day and night.

As expected, when they returned to the village, it was already a lively scene. The old patriarch and the elders of each family came to the entrance of the village three times a day. Hu Ma only came back once in the middle of the year, so he was not so excited. Zhou Datong and Li Wazi were very excited.

Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu returned to the village two days earlier than them.

Both of them rode big horses, wore iron armor, and even brought a few soldiers to serve them. They were so majestic.

Originally, the village was about to kill chickens and cattle, and announce it to all directions, and set up a big banquet for the two of them.

But they resolutely refused and wanted to wait until Hu Ma, Zhou Datong, Li Wazi and others came back before eating the banquet.

The people in the village opened their eyes when they saw the majesty of Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu. They felt like they were in a dream. And hearing how determined they were, they thought that Hu Ma was more prosperous with Zhou Datong and Li Wazi. Of course, Just looking forward to it.

But I never thought that these three people would come back driving a donkey cart and pulling New Year's goods as they did in previous years. They were a little surprised and started talking privately.

Only the second master still didn't dislike it. Seeing Zhou Datong and Li Wazi being picked up respectively, he took the Hu family back to their thatched cottage and said, "Did your kid open his mouth, or did he already know it? "

"Then, the boys from the Zhou family and the Zhao family were not as good as you in their skills and skills in the past. How come they have become officials outside after not seeing each other for a few years? My God, there are still people waiting for me when I return to the village!"

"It's not just the two of them who have become officials."

Hu Ma smiled and said: "Datong has also achieved military merit, but he just doesn't want to stay in the army."

The second master was even more surprised when he heard this. He quickly lowered his voice and said, "What about you?"

Hu Ma thought for a while and said: "I have entered the Taoism, devoted myself to learning my skills, and gained some climate. This can actually be regarded as a glorious ancestor, right?"

The second master said mercilessly: "That definitely can't be counted. Isn't the purpose of learning skills just to be an official? That's comparable to the prestige of the stewards of the Blood Food Gang, let me tell you!"

As he spoke, he leaned forward and warned: "Your second master, I am knowledgeable. In recent years, he must be the incense master and shopkeeper of the Blood Food Gang, but this is because the world is not peaceful. Wait for the emperor I am in charge of the world, and in terms of dignity, I would rather be an official!”

"Don't imitate those messy people, follow the art of martial arts, martial arts, etc... You are so lucky, how many of you are going to the martial arts world?"

"No matter how famous the Jianghu people are, no matter how powerful they are, they still can't get enough of it!"

"..."

Hu Ma was speechless. What Second Master said was really sincere...

Now when it comes to their true identity, they are really not as good as Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu. Although they are not great generals, at best they are just small bosses under General Baoliang. Only when General Baoliang becomes the king can they be considered. Little general.

But one thing is to say, the official positions they hold now are still real. After all, General Baoliang did not claim the title of king. He was nominally the general of Mingzhou City. Although he was self-proclaimed, it was recognized by all parties.

Therefore, he is actually an official of the Yi Dynasty now, and although the Yi Dynasty only has a little reputation now, in the eyes of the people in the mountains, he is much better than those Caotou Kings.

"Second Master, I understand what you are saying, but I still feel that I have the ability to go this way."

Hu Ma understood this, so she just smiled and said to the second master: "No matter who it is, there are finally two officials in our village, and they are also majestic generals. Isn't it really the time to sacrifice the mountain?"

"Of course the earlier the better, of course, to offer sacrifices to the mountain. I was just about to tell you this."

The second master had been talking about this for I don't know how many years, but when he heard that it was really going to be planned, he seemed a little uneasy and said in a low voice: "There are more than two generals. In fact, one is enough..."

"To put it into perspective, I can actually see that these two boys are not really great generals, but with this title, everything will be easy to handle!"

"There is nothing we can do now. The world is not peaceful. There is war and chaos outside. More and more people are running into the mountains. The sooner we do the sacrifice to the mountains, the greater the blessing will be. There will be peace in the village. What else can we do? No matter what calamity, it won’t come here!”

"..."

Hu Ma saw that the second master had great ideas in this matter, so he didn't worry about it. Just listening to him talk about the disaster, he frowned slightly and whispered: "Second master, I was young before, so I couldn't remember many things. ”

"I just heard that my...father also prevented the disaster and disappeared?"

"..."

"Your dad?"

Upon hearing Hu Ma's words, the second master became a little lower-pitched, sighed softly, and said: "Actually, I'm not very familiar with him. He didn't live in the village for long. He's usually taciturn, and he's not very talkative. Talk to people.”

"And during the years he was in the village, he would go out from time to time. He would be away for ten days and a half..."

"Of course, although we are not familiar with him, everyone in the village knows this old Hushan. He is a man. He not only helped our village solve the famine, but I was the only one who dared to go out to fight against the black storm."

"..."

"Black storm disaster?"

Hu Ma had heard of it a long time ago, but still wanted to hear what the second master had to say, and whispered: "What on earth is that?"

"well……"

The second master sighed and said: "The legend is that the people under the command of Lord Yama are not enough, so he came up to order some troops..."

"You young people are all lucky. It's time to catch up. There has been peace for more than ten years and there has been no black wind disaster. But in the past, black wind disasters would happen every three to five years. Once..."

"Your father, what he blocked was the last black storm disaster we have ever seen in our village..."
