Twilight Boundary Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Miss White Wine Calls

 “Buy or sell?”

Hearing this, Hu Ma was startled: "What kind of deal?"

　That's when I realized that this old man had other purposes in helping me gain knowledge so diligently.

 “It's bigger than the work in this village.”

The old man smiled and said: "Because my boss doesn't agree, I can't tell you too carefully now, but what I can let you know is that our boss has found several people to do this, and they are all capable. We are at least 70% sure of the matter."

"If this job is done, it won't be worth a few hundred taels of silver. We can at least get this amount."

 Speaking, he made the character "一".

Hu Ma was slightly startled: "One thousand taels?"

 The old man smiled mysteriously and nodded.

Hu Ma's expression suddenly became tangled.

But this tangle was just for the old man to see, but he suddenly made a decision in his heart: "This job can't be done."

The world is dangerous, and I can talk to this old man okay. He seems to be a capable person, but people are far away from each other. Who knows what the other person is planning?

There are not many jobs worth a thousand taels in this world. In fact, for the job of burning droughts in this village, they were only willing to give two hundred taels at first. Due to the difficulty of the job, I asked for an extra one hundred taels. This is already a rare encounter. It's a great life.

Money is hard to make, even for people in the community.

For someone like the old shopkeeper who would be supported by the Red Lantern Lady, after being a shopkeeper for so many years, he could only save a house in Mingzhou Prefecture and only two to three hundred taels of silver on hand.

No matter how lucky you are, how can you make a few hundred taels when you first come out, and then turn around and make a thousand taels easily?

Now of course I am short of money. Whether it is walking around after returning to the city or buying the items that are missing from the teachings in the town year book, I need money. I even want to buy a yard in the town around Zhuangzi to hide things in the future. What a convenience.

 Yes, there are oil lamps...

 Once the old shopkeeper left, he was the only person keeping the old age in the village. If something happened in the future, he would not even have a reliable helper.

 At least they still have to teach Zhou Datong something.

 But if you want to teach them, it is not a matter of opening your mouth. The first one is the oil lamp.

Each oil lamp is prepared with various secret medicines, some of which are precious and require a lot of effort and money to prepare.

I had to waste my hands and feet on the oil lamp under the nose of the shopkeeper before, but if I want to teach them some skills, I need to start with this simple hand and foot skill.

The money alone for this oil lamp is not a small amount.

 As I counted over and over again, I felt the pressure on my body became even greater. I didn't think about the money earlier and didn't feel it. Now that I have considered it, I found that it is needed everywhere and there are holes everywhere.

Throwing a few hundred taels of silver in, I'm afraid there will be nothing left in the water.

 But then again, if you are short of money, you will be short of money, so what kind of work will you get...

So, although the expression on his face was tangled, he just sighed in the end and said: "Thank you very much in advance, Mr., for taking care of me, but I still won't earn this money."

“We are Xiaofu Ji'an. Before we came out, my master also told me that it is enough to practice and practice, and we must not be greedy. So, after I finish the things in this village, I plan to take my brothers back..."

“There is a long way to go, let's meet again when we have the chance!”

“What I'm saying is that this job does have some risks. Even if I say it doesn't, you may not believe it.”

When the old man heard this, he didn't force it. He just smiled and said, "Then we really depend on fate and see when we can see each other again."

After saying that, he didn't stay to eat the noodles. Instead, he made an earthenware jar, poured the fat chicken and stewed meat on the banquet into the earthenware jar, added two big steamed buns, brought his own monkey, and swaggered. And go.

 “Brother Mazi, this old man is so mysterious, what does he do?”

When the people in the village saw that the old man could talk to Hu Ma, they naturally did not dare to stop him. Zhou Datong and others also had eyes, so they did not interrupt randomly when the old man was there. After he had gone far, they asked carefully.

But Hu Ma couldn't actually tell. This old man was definitely not a year-old man, his energy and blood had long since declined, and he was not like a ghost man, with no yin energy in his body.

I can only say that my experience is still shallow and I can't tell the details of others.

 I sat down to eat immediately. After finishing my work, I packed my luggage, finally got my horse back, and was ready to leave.

Now everything in the village has been dealt with. Mr. Zhao also wrote a note and stamped it, confirming that Hu Ma helped the village deal with the money. It was pure and clean, so as not to Officials from all over the country made inquiries.

Of course, this is an old rule, but it doesn't really work.

The world is in chaos now. Who cares where the money comes from? If you have the ability, you can keep it. If you don't, you will be robbed.

But although he was careful, Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu and others were all very nervous. This was a heavy amount of hundreds of taels of silver. It was heavy to hold in his hand, and it was such a big burden to hold in his arms. A little bit of a suspicious feeling.

I just hope that when I return to Zhuangzi, I can find an urn to put the money in and bury it.

 “This is not enough…”

Humah thought to herself after seeing how careful they were.

　　Although I declined the old man's invitation, I knew in my heart that the gap was still wide.

 But how can there be so many jobs that make money, especially those that are stable?

 “Find a rich family to kill him?”

This thought flashed through my mind, but I just made a joke to myself: "We are good citizens!"

 The most I can do is find out where the money is and ask Xiao Hongtang to dig out some of it...

　　…After all, I heard from Yang Gong that some of the little angels can burn incense and some can move money. Although my little Hongtang already has the unique skill of flying swords, it is not impossible to cultivate other talents.   …

Thinking about this problem, I was not in a hurry to return to Zhuangzi. I first found a hotel to stay in the surrounding area.

　　It's wet outside and it's inconvenient to travel. It's better to wait until the rain stops before walking.

Shortly after falling asleep at night, Hu Ma was silently cultivating his liver, but unexpectedly, he heard a long-lost voice:

“White wine calls out to Lao Baigan. If you can hear me, please call me back.”

 “Miss White Wine?”

Hearing this voice, Hu Ma was really surprised and said hurriedly: "I can hear it."

"…how did you find me?"

I heard from Erguotou earlier that Miss Baijiu had been staying in Mingzhou City. Now she has been running away for several days and is hundreds of miles away.

The calls of reincarnated persons are all limited in scope. Now I have exceeded this limit early, so I have no way to find Erguotou to inquire about the progress of the Red Lantern Lady Club. But why can Miss White Wine call me?

“My Taoism is higher than both yours and Erguotou's, and my scope is naturally further than yours.”

Miss White Wine's voice seemed plain and natural, but there was a little bit of pride that was invisible but real.

 “Is she so powerful?”

Hu Ma was a little surprised. No wonder Erguotou thought of her when he asked for help when planning the batch of blood food.

It's just that Daoxing is not limited to three pillars, that is, below three pillars, everyone is almost at the same level, but she is so much better than others. Could it be that her Daoxing has exceeded three pillars?

Just when I was thinking about it, the voice of Baijiu rang again: "I heard from Erguotou that you ran outside to avoid trouble?"

"yes."

Hu Ma glanced at the connection between his life and fragrance, and then answered truthfully, "If he hadn't reminded me, I would have almost fallen into another trap."

 “Isn't this the meaning of the reincarnated person's existence?”

Miss White Wine said: "It's not like we have to fight to the death for everything. These casual reminders and some harmless reminders are enough for us to make friends."

"However, you don't have to worry. The time and number of people for the battle between the Red Lantern Lady and the Tsing Yi Gang's evil spirits have been set so that you can know that you did the right thing by hiding out. Red Lantern Lady There were 17 branches in the meeting, and ten shopkeepers were selected to go into battle."

“Except for the older ones, those with higher seniority, or the old shopkeepers who have made great achievements, no one else has run away.”

 “Is it really going to start?”

Hu Ma was overjoyed for a moment and hurriedly asked: "Is the time set?"

 “The fifth day of the next month.”

White Wine said lightly: "Whether your Red Lantern Empress can still stay in Mingzhou Mansion to dominate, or even whether she can go one step further, depends on whether she can win this battle."

“The Red Lantern Empress is already the only harm to Mingzhou Prefecture, how can she go further?”

Hu Ma thought to herself, silently calculating the time, and found that there were only a few days left before the start.

“Of course, I'm not here to send you a message on behalf of Erguotou.”

At this time, Miss White Wine said: "I want to ask you, now that the capital has come out, do you want to find someone to cooperate and make a fortune?"

"Um?"

Hu Ma was surprised when she heard this. Did she come to him to introduce her to the business?

This is unfortunate, I came out this time just to make money.

 “Also a reincarnator.”

Miss White Wine said: "He has something important to do, but he doesn't feel at ease looking for people in the world, so he has to find reincarnations to feel at ease."

“I have worked with him before, and he is quite reliable, but his job is too small, and I don't think much of it. Besides, the distance is not close, and I am too lazy to travel so far, so I thought of you.”

Hu Ma was a little curious: "What kind of work?"

Miss White Wine said: "I didn't plan to take this job, so I didn't ask too carefully, but he is a treasure-holding person, so this job may be related to holding treasures."

"If you are interested, rush to Wutong Town near Shanyin City within three days. Go to sleep at midnight and wait. He will call at that time. Just say that it was introduced by Miss White Wine, and then The letter can be obtained."

Hu Ma wrote them down one by one, and with a slight heartbeat, he asked, "How much money can I make if I do this job?"

 “It's not blood food, I'm too lazy to ask.”

Miss White Wine thought about it for a moment, then smiled and said, "But those people who hold treasures are extremely rich. I think he should be able to get a few thousand taels of silver, right?"

Hearing this, Hu Ma felt relieved immediately.
