Twilight Boundary Chapter 114

Chapter 114 The Second Master's Regret

 “It's getting late, come out quickly…”

At this time, in the north of the village, the second master was circling anxiously. After waiting for a long time, no one was seen pulling the straw rope, so he finally couldn't help it and rushed over.

The people around were still hesitating. After all, they had made an appointment in advance to have someone inside pull the rope before pulling it outside. However, the second master said anxiously: "This Juehu village is only so big in total. It's time to cross it. It must be out." Something, right?"

As he said that, he pulled hard, but he didn't expect that the more he pulled, the looser it became. Only a rope end was pulled out.

Whether it was Lao Yangpi, the clan leader, or Zhou Datong and his neighbors who were following him, they were all stunned.

 “My old lady…”

The second master groaned and his whole body trembled. He tore his coat violently, shouted and rushed towards Juehu Village.

 “I'll go find him!”

 “You stay still, dick…”

Lao Yangpi hurriedly stopped the second master and shouted: "With your skills, how dare you break into a village with no households?"

 “You blew out the old stove too...”

 “If it's destroyed, I have to find it...”

The second master was so anxious that his eyes were wet, and he shouted loudly: "If something happens to little Hu Ma, how can I have the nerve to explain to her mother-in-law?"

"Leave me alone, you don't have to bury me in the old fire pit..."

As he said that, he strode into the village with great strides, and no one from the two villages could hold him back.

 But at this moment, a voice said: "What is dead and alive?"

Everyone turned around in a hurry, only to see Hu Ma in good condition, coming back from the side road. They were surprised and happy, and hurriedly went up to meet him. They looked around and saw that it was really him. They were surprised and happy: "豼豼If you entered here, how did you come back from there?"

"be lost."

Hu Ma said: "He came back after a long detour."

The people next to him were stunned when he heard this: "He went to a ghost village and brought someone lost?"

But seeing that Hu Ma came back safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and the old patriarch also took the opportunity to quickly put a cotton-padded jacket on the second master.

Only the old Yangpi uncle, who had seen too many evil spirits in this extinct village, was still wary in his heart. He secretly squeezed Hu Ma's palm. Hu Ma knew what he was thinking and deliberately took away the anger in his hand. With this squeeze, It felt bitingly cold, not like a living person.

 “Ah yo…”

 Old Sheepskin's face turned green with fright, and he staggered back, but Hu Ma stretched out his hand to hold him, and said with a smile: “Be careful.”

　At this time, the vitality returned, the palms were warm, and the old sheepskin man was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that this kid was playing tricks on me, and I felt a little relieved: "It's okay, it's okay..."

 “How can you be so naughty?”

 “There was a slight situation, but at least we got out smoothly.”

Hu Ma then explained to everyone: "I haven't learned my skills yet. If I want to solve the problem here, it would be a big lie. However, I understand what the situation is. I will make more preparations later and see if I can Can't find a way.”

 “That's that's that…”

The second master hurriedly said: "My mother-in-law said earlier that we should seal off the village first to eliminate ten years of grievances. This is only seven or eight years old."

"It's still early. If the sheepherd wasn't impatient, why would he need to take this risk?"

Just now, I was worried about a fight between the two villages, with Lao Sheepskin at each other's throats, but because of this false alarm, the second master didn't care anymore, and came up to expose Lao Sheepskin's background.

But Lao Yangpi is not on the right track. The sheepherder has become a great man, and he has no teacher. He originally didn't like others saying that, but now he feels very guilty and says softly: "My child, what I said is right, we are being petty." .”

“I should have known that the grandson of a wandering ghost mother-in-law would be fine...”

 This sentence can be regarded as finalizing the matter this time.

The leading figure in Mang Village has to apologize to a little kid. From now on, people in Mang Village will have to respect Hu Ma when they see him.

The old patriarch smiled and rolled his eyes, and said: "Stop wrangling here, it's almost dark."

“Xiao Huma's godmother hasn't even eaten the incense yet. I've never seen anyone run out to do other things after half the sacrifice.”

"Yeah…"

Uncle Yangpi also said hurriedly: "Your godmother accepting a godson like you is not a matter of any particular family, but a big deal of our neighbors."

“Walking around, everyone will kowtow.”

 “It is finished…”

The words were spoken so smoothly that even the second master and the old patriarch were surprised. Looking at this old man in sheepskin, they secretly thought, is he climbing up the pole?

This is an underestimation of the shepherd. Did he have this intention from the beginning?

I just rushed up to kowtow without being embarrassed, and also to see if the grandson of my mother-in-law's family is a person who accepts old scores...

But Liu Erniang said that she was just chasing ducks and didn't understand anything about the situation. When she saw these people leaving, she thought her troubles were over.

Unexpectedly, I saw the Wuju people coming back again, and there were more people than at noon. As soon as they came over, they kowtowed and burned incense. It had never seen such a big formation. It was trembling and there were only a few pitiful branches. Shivering. At any rate, after the group of people had finished the sacrifice, they made an appointment to go to Dayangzhai for a drink and ignored him.

But the second master took advantage of it unprepared and came over quietly when he was leaving. He picked up a red string and tied it to it. The last time it was tied, it was just a red string, but this time it was as thick as a finger.

This was because Liu Erniang was afraid that she would be frightened, so she ran away quietly.

She can't run away. This time, it's just a start. Later, when the children are out and about, she has to be there when they are offering sacrifices to Linzi, Tai Sui, and even Laoyin Mountain...

 At night, flowing water mats were set up in the village to entertain the neighbors of Mang Village.

For the poor people in the village, this is really a luxury. Throughout the year, there are only a few rare banquets. During the Chinese New Year or when there are weddings and funerals, this year there is one banquet after another. , even the patriarch's daughter-in-law felt distressed.

It would be great if we let Datong and the others take all this food and drink to the city after the new year, so that they can fill up the few holes you have.

 “The women you married from Mang Village are just petty.”

When the old patriarch saw that his daughter-in-law was embarrassed, he laughed and scolded her: "It's not good for Yin to eat Mao grain."

 “But we have to see what we can achieve in this new year.”

“You know what? Just look at what you're eating now, and you'll be back in less than a year…”

“What does it mean that something is left in the stone box?”

As for Hu Ma, he was actually a little tired of this kind of banquet.

Now I am dealing with the excitement, but I am thinking about the tree stump at the end of the village and what he said.

That tree stump was called an "acquaintance" by her mother-in-law, and she was required to bow politely when she saw him for the first time. He specifically looked for me and said those few pleasant words. What was the meaning of that?

I am the grandson of my mother-in-law, but I am not considered a descendant of the Hu family...

Is it possible that the descendants of the Hu family value their ability rather than their bloodline?

On the other hand, I have a vague feeling that the things my mother-in-law is facing are far more complicated than I thought, and there are more arrangements than I imagined.

Just like the incident in Juehu Village, from the perspective of the surrounding villages, the mother-in-law passed away suddenly, so this matter was left behind and there was no time to solve it, so she became afraid.

 But as soon as Hu Ma heard about it, she realized that it was not that simple.

Because the mother-in-law did not die suddenly at all. She just returned to her ancestral temple. The time is still her own. With her kind-hearted character, if the hidden dangers in this village are really that big, she will definitely solve them in advance, at least Methods will also be left.

 It shouldn't have been left, but it happened to be left. I can only say that it was left to myself.

Thinking back to her mother-in-law's words when she returned to the ancestral temple, she wanted to help her stop the Meng family's gadgets. She didn't know how long she could stop them. She just hoped to buy herself more time until she could learn her skills...

 …I am still too slow now, too slow.

I thought to myself silently, and the pressure increased. But in the end, something happened here, and I should go back to Zhuangzi as soon as possible.

Let's get that batch of blood food first, after all, that is the foundation of everything...

After a banquet, many people from Mang Village had relatives in Dayangzhai Village. Since they went to live with relatives, they had no relatives. They also found a few empty rooms for them to sleep. Hu Ma also took the drunken second master , helped him back to his home, and cooked tea for him to drink.

 Some of the things left behind by my mother-in-law are very deep and cannot be noticed by myself.

 But thanks to the second master by his side, he didn't know what his mother-in-law had left behind, but he would guide him in the right direction.

Hu Ma has always been grateful to him, and she knows what is wrong with him.

 “Ouch…”

But the second master, when he heard the words "year-old man" from Hu Ma's mouth, he was so frightened that he woke up from the wine.

He stared at Hu Ma hurriedly and said sternly: "Boss Hu, don't talk nonsense. I didn't hear anything, Second Master... No, you kid, please be more alert. It's not like I don't know that you have learned your skills. Why do I keep Do not ask?"

"Learning the skills taught by the master is a favor. Teaching it to others without the master's permission is a life-threatening crime."

 “You just opened your mouth and said you didn't want to think about it anymore?”

"fine."

Seeing the nervous look on the second master's face, Hu Ma smiled and said, "The skills we have are ours."

“I have already repaid the debt to the master, and I owe nothing to anyone.”

Seeing that he was sure, the second master was a little hesitant. He knew more about the Flax Sutra than what they said when they came back.

 Besides, this ability of being a watcher of the year has indeed been a lifelong worry for him.

“Second Master, to put it bluntly, it's just one word.”

Hu Ma smiled, leaned into the second master's ear, and whispered something, and the second master's eyes suddenly became round.

 Just such a sentence made Yu Er Ye feel as if he had been struck by lightning.

His face was suddenly enlightened, confused, seemed to understand, and even more confused. In the end, slowly, his old eyes became a little wet.

He turned his back to prevent Hu Ma from seeing him cry, but there was endless emotion in his voice: "I have been thinking about it for a lifetime, a whole lifetime..."

“But no one expected that it would be this way…”

Seeing the second master like this, Hu Ma felt emotional and wanted to teach him all the techniques, but the second master waved his hand.

 “It's too late…”

“Hu boy, you are overthinking. Twenty years ago, I could still practice, but now, my body can no longer bear it...”
