Twilight Boundary Chapter 190

Chapter 190: Staying unchanged and adapting to all changes (1st update)

“The man named Zheng dug this hole for me, what will be the consequences?”

“Could it be that when the Meng family heard that I was preventing them from taking people away, they immediately became furious and sent a blue-clothed evil spirit to kill me?”

After this thrilling night, everyone in the village was frightened.

 In the final analysis, they are just young men who come out of the village to make a living. They usually clean up dirty things, so they are not afraid because they are familiar with it. But who can not be afraid when they see the ghostly boy in green?

They could only look at Hu Ma as if asking for help, but Hu Ma was no more at ease than they were.

After Zheng Xiangzhu left and figured out this person's insidious intentions, he immediately asked the guys to pack their things. Tang Hui took all of them with him, and the horses were led out and saddled. Xiao Hongtang stared outside. Movement to see if they will come back.

Seeing something bad at any time, he immediately fled into Laoyin Mountain.

But after waiting in fear all night, there was no movement at all until the fish belly came out in the east.

 What's going on?

Hu Ma was a little surprised. She thought that if a big shot like that got angry, he would just say one sentence and take his own life. Why would he have to wait all night?

Or maybe I misunderstood Zheng Xiangzhu and he didn't really go to complain?

Impossible, I would have complained like this if I were in it. The noble man got angry and easily eliminated his enemy. What a good opportunity?

Thinking about it, I felt uneasy, so I still punished Xiao Hongtang and went to the city to inquire about the news.

Xiao Hongtang went there once, and the news she brought back surprised Hu Ma: "Both the bearded Grandpa Xu and Brother Yang Gong said they knew about the trouble Master Zheng Xiang made for you, but it doesn't matter, it's over!"

“A few guys who were taken away from the village before were also released. It seems to have a little impact, but at least they are still alive, and the boys in green have also been recruited back.”

“They guess that this matter should be settled, so that you can feel at ease and come to visit you again when you are free.”

 “It's passed?”

When Hu Ma heard this, he was surprised. The Meng family had engaged in such a big fight and stirred up trouble in Mingzhou Prefecture. How could they just say it was over?

 I feel vaguely incredible, but I still don't understand the situation.

Farmers who farmed the fields could not imagine whether the queen would use gold or silver hoes for plowing the land. Naturally, they, the men who came from the village, could not imagine the thoughts of the Tongyin Meng family.

But after all, he came from an era of information explosion, so he tried his best to put himself into the perspective of a child from a family with ten surnames.

 Senior Old Stump did not tell himself everything, but the information was enough.

No matter what conflicts have arisen between the Hu family and the Meng family, it seems that with the return of the mother-in-law to the ancestral temple, some game plans have also changed. The Meng family now comes here not to kill themselves...

 …Of course, it's just not on the surface.

 But since it was not to kill him, and the two families had a feud, he also guessed that he would not take the initiative to come out to see him, so why should he come out?

Moreover, if he used the mirror to find himself, what would the mirror reflect?

Hu Ma couldn't find the answer to this point from himself, but he carefully asked Zhou Datong and the other guys who were reflected in the mirror and had longer red lines, and vaguely discovered something in common with them.

These people have different surnames, origins, and family wealth. The only thing they have in common is that they all come from relatively remote villages.

Moreover, every village has the tradition of ancestral halls or old fire ponds.

This common ground suddenly opened up my mind. Could it be that what the mirror reflected was actually Lao Huotangzi, or in other words, the protection of the ancestors for the descendants?

Whether it is Laohuotangzi or the ancestral hall, there will be a force of caring for future generations, invisible, but real.

In the past, when people were burning sweet potatoes to get treasures, they had to pretend to be descendants of the ancestors of the Ma family ancestral hall.

If you think about it from this point of view, you can understand why Zhou Datong and others have obviously higher red lines than others...

 Because they all came from Dayangzhaizi, the red lines of Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu, and even Li Wazi were not low because they were all blessed.

 However, Zhou Datong was the eldest grandson of his family with the surname Zhou after all, so he received the highest blessing among several people.

 Zhou Liang followed, after all, his surname was also Zhou.

Although Zhao Zhu and Li Wazi are also members of the four major surnames, they are somewhat less numerous.

"This needs to be vigilant. I come from the same place as them, but the power of blessing shown is low. Will it be self-defeating and arouse others' suspicion?"

Hu Ma analyzed this and was slightly shocked at first, then reacted.

 “Yes, it won't arouse any suspicion.”

"After all, in the eyes of outsiders, my family is in Laohuotangzi and has only one ancestor. It is reasonable for the protection to be low."

Thinking about this, he became more and more convinced: "Although I don't feel anything myself, if I really belong to the Hu family of the ten surnames, then the power of the shadow that this body receives is also special?"

“So they brought this mirror and just looked at me, and they were immediately sorted out from the crowd, and they couldn't even think of hiding.”

“If it hadn't been for Senior Old Tree Stump's help, I wouldn't have even thought of the other party using this method to find me.”

"It's just that my mother-in-law made a good arrangement and hired this senior from Laoyinshan to take care of me, which helped me get through the test. But these guys who had the blessing of Huotangzi suffered unreasonable disasters because of this, and they were killed for nothing. Implicated..."

“But when it comes to the Meng family, he has done so many things, but can't find me, will he just give up easily?”

Hu Ma immediately gave a negative answer: "No, if he gave up so easily, he wouldn't even come here."

“But now they have launched such a big battle, but they have only failed. What will he do?”

“…Or maybe, on the surface, he wants to use this method to find someone, but actually knows that it won't work, and is just paving the way for other means?”

 After thinking silently for a long time, my heart skipped a beat. In fact, the Hu family has another characteristic, which may even be more obvious than bloodline and the so-called shelter power...

 The New Year's Book!

 Lao Shuzhuan had told himself earlier that if he didn't learn the Hu family's methods, he would not be considered a member of the Hu family.

So, will the Meng family also start from this point?

 If this is the case, how will he arrange the next things?

As I thought about it more and more, I felt a little nervous.

All of his guesses were really just guesses. Relying on the special commonalities brought about by the information explosion era, he worked hard to enter the perspective of those in high positions and made a lot of imaginations.

 But it only stayed at the level of imagination. He really had no idea at all...

 But this does not prevent him from being afraid.

 He is heading towards the worst possibility, and of course he is afraid that this possibility will actually happen.

He is not sure, but now Hu Ma is unable to discuss with the reincarnated people, which makes him feel helpless now.

 Did he just run away like this?

　That can't be done.

It's not because he doesn't want to part with his identity as the shopkeeper. The money, food and blood in this village is mainly because when he runs away now, he doesn't expose himself and shows that there is something wrong with him.

What is this called? I have already recognized it before others take action.

 “Brothers, please be more alert.”

After thinking carefully for a long time, Hu Ma called Zhou Datong and others and seriously warned: "Recently, the patrols everywhere should be more diligent, but you have to be careful when patrolling at night. If it is not possible, you will not go out after dark. If you do not patrol, This night."

“In this situation, it's impossible for the Red Lantern Lady to take away my name as the shopkeeper just because we delayed one or two night patrols...”

 … “…be equipped with swords and guns, and don't go out alone in the future.”

 Zhou Datong and others did not know what they had learned, but they hurriedly wrote them down.

After finishing the explanation, Hu Ma thought for a while, then called Li Wazi over and said, "Are you familiar with that family outside?"

"Outside?"

Li Wazi was startled for a moment before reacting: "Ah? You mean the Huangxian family? They are our own people."

“I can talk to my fourth aunt, my third uncle, my second uncle, and my younger brother.”

“Sometimes they are greedy and come to me asking for brown sugar eggs or wine, so I cook them a pot.”

“…It's not that I'm greedy, I deducted it from the rations.”

“From now on, you don't need to save money from your rations, just put it directly into the public account.”

Hu Ma said hurriedly: "During this period, you should talk to them and help us keep an eye on what's going on around us."

"okay."

Li Wazi agreed happily and said, "This is a serious matter. I'll talk to Grandma Qi directly."

"Ok, Ok."

Hu Ma agreed repeatedly, but suddenly felt something was wrong: "Grandma Qi Gu, you are ranked seventh, how come you are the oldest?"

 “It's the biggest one…”

Li Wazi said with a smile: "Huang Xian's family doesn't know how to count. They think whichever number is bigger is more powerful."

“If there is another younger one in the future, the seventh aunt's grandma will have to move up in seniority, and she may become the eighth aunt's grandma, the ninth aunt's grandma…”

“…This thing sounds strange, but when it comes to this family, it makes sense.”

Hu Ma felt relieved and arranged for Li Wazi to go.

He himself, after some silent calculation, took the mahogany sword, the pond ash he brought out from the old fire pond during the Chinese New Year, dug it out from Laoyin Mountain a few days ago, left a little soil, and burned it with sweet potatoes earlier. After doing a lot of work, I packed up the cart of stuff I earned one by one.

Now that I have been away from the village for more than a year, I have the skills I earned, but this is my capital.

 Soldiers come to block it, and water comes and earth covers it. This is all it can do.

No matter whether the other party will make moves or not, and what moves they will make, you can't interfere with them. You can only take care of yourself and do your own thing.

Just like the old tree stump senior said, if it is really because of the slightest movement from the other party that you are frightened into chaos and unable to do anything, then you are really hopeless.

Anyway, if you think about it carefully, Zheng Xiangzhu's dirty tricks on him actually helped him.

What can you do to me? At worst, you can find Senior Old Tree Stump!

If he had really attacked Zhou Datong and the others, he would have already left Zhuangzi, and his identity might have been exposed, and he might have been targeted by the Meng family. It was he who wanted to attack him, but instead he helped him hide. tribulation…

 …Zheng Xiangzhu is also like his brother-in-law, a good person!
