Twilight Boundary

"Brother Huma looks young, but he acts very calmly."

When Hu Ma was doubtful, the girl named Wu He also raised her eyes and looked over.

In this world, women are so shy. Even the widow in the village looks at men secretly, but she looks quite bold.

His eyes swept over Hu Ma's face carefully, and he was very careful. While looking at Hu Ma, he pushed the tea in front of Hu Ma with a smile, pursed his lips, and said with a smile: "I usually see it. .”

"Also, you helped Zhuang Zili deal with the evil things before. You told me about it, and I admire you very much!"

"..."

"It is indeed her..."

Feeling the other person's eyes, Hu Ma was confirmed again.

She is indeed the one who has been secretly hiding in the house to observe her on weekdays, and she does not even hide her words.

She felt even more strange in her heart, and glanced at her, but the shopkeeper was nearby and couldn't take a closer look.

He stood up to take the tea and said with a smile:

"That's not true. I came from the village and don't know anything. I relied on the shopkeeper's guidance."

"Brother Hu Ma is too polite."

Sister Wu He said: "But I won't be polite to Brother Hu Ma in the future. I'm not in good health and it's inconvenient to go out. In the future, I have to trouble Brother Hu Ma to bring some needles, thread, rouge and gouache to me from outside Zhuangzi." …”

Hu Ma said hurriedly: "This is what it should be."

As she spoke, she took the tea, but accidentally touched something with her fingers. Looking down, she saw that her hand had quickly retracted.

Hu Ma sniffed, frowned, and didn't say anything, just spoke to the shopkeeper politely.

I thought that on this day, the woman who had always been hiding in the house finally appeared, and there would be something to say, but it turned out that there was really nothing. The shopkeeper just brought his daughter, drank tea in the yard, and said After doing some household chores, I went back to the house.

Seeing that it was already getting late, Hu Ma went out of the inner courtyard and continued to arrange for the guys to watch and feed the horses at night.

Even though the guys didn't want to, when they saw that the junior sister had already hid in the house, they all groaned and came over to work with unfinished thoughts.

Huma didn't know if it was an illusion, but when she was instructing the guys to work, it seemed as if someone was staring at her back...

When I had never seen this girl before, I felt a little panicked in my heart, but now the feeling was even worse.

He didn't dare to be careless, so he simply followed the man out of the village.

I just feel that this junior sister looks beautiful, but she is a little weird. These days, she is not as prosperous as in her previous life.

The apple of the shopkeeper's eye not only looked boldly at himself, but also smiled lightly when he was being looked at by these waiters while sitting in the yard, as if he didn't seem to mind at all?

Weird, weird no matter how you think about it!

But the other guys were not as vigilant as Hu Ma. They were still immersed in that sudden glimpse, with silly smiles on their faces, immersed in memories, unable to extricate themselves.

After leaving Zhuangzi, Zhou Datong was already excited and asked repeatedly: "Brother Hu Ma, Brother Hu Ma, tell me, what does it taste like?"

"taste?"

Hu Ma looked at him in surprise, as well as the guys next to him who were so greedy that they were drooling, and then she understood.

Feeling helpless, he said: "It doesn't taste like anything..."

Zhou Datong, and even Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu next to him, all looked unbelieving.

Judging from their looks, Hu Ma guessed that they wouldn't be so dissatisfied if he deducted half a catty of blood food from them.

"Not really."

Hu Ma thought about it and suddenly felt something strange. He stretched out his finger and sniffed the end of his nose, and said: "But to be honest, it seems to have a faint odor, but it was masked by the smell of herbs..."

"Stink?"

Zhou Datong was stunned for a moment, and then said decisively: "That's impossible!"

"I could smell the fragrance just now from ten feet away, but I'm not close anymore. I don't know how fragrant it is..."

"..."

"Uh-huh!"

Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu, two honest people, actually nodded and agreed: "Second Master also said that women smell like steamed buns..."

"Second Master seems to say that the steamed buns on women are very fragrant..."

Hu Ma thought in her heart, but seeing the serious expressions on the three of them at this time, she swallowed all the words she wanted to correct them.

What else can I say?

The iron law of the universe, whether it smells bad or not depends on your face!

…

Originally, with Hu Ma taking the position of manager, everything in Zhuangzi had been on the boring and standardized track, but with the appearance of this junior sister, everyone suddenly became lively.

Hu Ma usually paid for them and treated them to wine and meat, but he couldn't make them so excited. They all seemed to be winded when they walked, and they couldn't help humming a ditty when they went to the toilet.

And hygiene.

Although Hu Ma no longer lives in Datongpu, he has also taught them to keep them clean, and not to be covered in dirt. There is a thick layer of dirt on the collar, and the boyish little Hongtang has to be wrapped around it. Go to their room.

Taking a shower is not practical.

Changing clothes frequently is not practical for some people.

Then at least you have to wash your feet, right?

But they listened to other people, but they were too lazy to do this kind of thing, as if they subconsciously classified it into the category of their own freedom and not the responsibility of the boss. But now, these people who didn't listen to Hu Ma suddenly suddenly It becomes clean and tidy...

Not only does she love washing her face, she also likes to take a shower outside the house.

It's winter now...

But there is also a problem. The night watch job that everyone used to grab suddenly stopped being popular.

The reason is also simple. Every time at dusk, this junior sister might leave the house and walk around the inner courtyard.

It's just a possibility, she doesn't come out every day.

But just because of this slight possibility, the guys couldn't wait to wait.

Hu Ma lamented the shortcomings of the stove, but he also thought of some ideas according to local conditions. When he was free, he pointed at someone and said: "Go and take out the toilet. It's almost full. Clean it out and replace it with some new soil and water." Spread the stove ashes."

"The rest will be transported to the village and sold to the village chief's family, which can be exchanged for three copper coins... You can keep the copper coins for yourself, and you can also buy some brown sesame cakes to eat on the way..."

In the past, no one was willing to do this job.

Even if he didn't dare to disobey Hu Ma, everyone could see his unhappiness.

But now Hu Ma looked at them unhappy, and then said: "Come back after you finish your work, go into the inner courtyard and give something to the shopkeeper."

"Of course, put on some clothes before going!"

"..."

At this moment, the guys were so motivated that they almost started fighting.

And looking at the shopkeeper's daughter, she doesn't look as seriously injured as the legend says.

Now the guys in the outer courtyard are all fascinated by her. Hu Ma wants to avoid her. He really feels that he can't see through her. Earlier, she didn't leave the house for so long, but now she does it from time to time. Show up.

The most important thing is that I don't know if she knew that Hu Ma was avoiding her intentionally, and even once, she ran directly to the small house where Hu Ma lived.

In order to practice the Huohu method, Hu Ma wouldn't even let Zhou Datong and others in, and would only call him outside the door when something happened.

Now that he saw her barging in directly, he was a little surprised: "Junior sister, what's the matter?"

Sister Wu He stood inside the threshold, looked at Hu Ma with a smile, and said, "Can't you come if you have nothing to do?"

"Miss, you don't want the shopkeeper to know that you came to my room secretly, right?"

A flirty remark flashed through Hu Ma's mind, but she swallowed it back, forced a smile and said, "I thought you had something to tell me."

"What do you mean by giving orders and not giving orders?"

Sister Wu He said: "My father is the shopkeeper of the Queen's Club, and you are the steward of the Queen's Club. They are both the same. How do you call it an order?"

She smiled and said: "But I really have something to do. Where is the rouge and gouache you promised to buy for me?"

Hu Ma was a little embarrassed and said: "I haven't seen any salesmen coming around recently, let alone go to the city."

"Well, you have to remember it."

Sister Wu He said and took two steps forward. Hu Ma could only smell the faint rotten smell coming from her body.

This time, she and she were the only ones in the room, and now she was closer to him than the last time in the inner courtyard. The rancid smell was also clearer, which immediately made Hu Ma feel slightly shuddered and subconsciously retreated.

I suddenly realized that this might cause dissatisfaction on the other side.

Sure enough, Wu He's sister didn't know whether she noticed Hu Ma's frown, or she realized that it was awkward to talk so close to a man and a woman alone in this small room, so she stepped back a little and said: " I actually have other things to do.”

"the you now……"

"..."

She hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and said as if she had made up her mind: "How far have you reached in practicing the method of keeping the year old?"

"Um?"

Hu Ma was slightly shocked. She asked what she was doing.

Then she thought that this method was probably not a secret to her, so she answered slowly:

"We have just made some progress. It is not easy to practice."

"I have just come into contact with it, so I practice very carefully, for fear of making mistakes. Moreover, practicing this method always requires blood food..."

"..."

He had already exercised his left hand and was already hesitating whether to exercise his right leg, but he couldn't tell her.

Taking this opportunity, he also mentioned the word "blood food" and silently observed her reaction.

"All right……"

Hearing Hu Ma say that the entry was not fast, she seemed slightly disappointed, as if she didn't want to hear it, and muttered:

"Then you have to work harder..."

"..."

Reluctantly, he walked to the threshold, but seemed to think of something again. He suddenly turned to Hu Ma and said, "Brother Hu Ma, be careful. When practicing this method, everyone is afraid of making the wrong move..."

"I do have a notebook, which is what he wrote down during his daily practice. He is very precious about it and usually doesn't want others to see it."

"I'll give it to you. Will it make you practice faster?"

"..."

"ah?"

Hu Ma couldn't help but be surprised. What on earth did she want to do?
