Twilight Boundary Chapter 221

Chapter 221 Butler of the Li Mansion

 “You were in the kitchen and didn't see...”

Seeing that everyone was looking over, the landlady said hurriedly: "I saw an old man came this afternoon, dressed in rags, like a beggar."

"He asked for a bowl of noodles, but he didn't take a few bites. He also asked me the name of the girl in the kitchen, where she came from, etc. I ignored him and went back to the kitchen, but he had already left. La…"

Hu Ma shivered slightly and said, "He asked you, did you say it?"

 The wife of the wine shop owner blushed slightly, shook her head and said, "No... I didn't say anything."

 “I don't mean to blame you.”

Hu Ma softened his tone and said, "It doesn't matter if you tell me, but you have to tell me."

Ordinary people are not very vigilant about this area after all, and they don't know that there are some evil things that can cast spells just by hearing their names.

 “I really didn't say…”

The wife of the wine shop owner blushed and said: "When he asked, I said that Xiang girl has someone in mind. Don't worry about it. Don't think she is a girl here, but she may become the wife of the cabinet at some time." !”

 …“…no wonder she's blushing!”

Hu Ma was a little speechless. Are people in this world so gossipy?

 But I also knew in my heart that since such a weirdo existed, what happened to Xiang Yatou must be related to him.

Is there a demon sneaking in around my village?

 “Go to him!”

As he was thinking to himself, the guys outside the door shouted angrily: "You dare to sneak into our side and harm others, don't you want to live anymore?"

“Since he came in the dark, he must be able to find someone since he cannot leave the town.”

They also have experience in the world. They know the world and there are not many people who can run around at night.

Even many people in the doorway dare not walk at night. Since that person was still there in the afternoon, he is probably still in the town now.

 But just as they were getting excited, they lit up torches and went outside to find someone.

Hu Ma frowned slightly. He saw that Xiao Hongtang had jumped down, squatted at the window, and opened a window. Then he turned around, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and kept pointing at the wall outside. , I suddenly knew it in my heart.

He walked to the door silently and suddenly said: "No need."

 Zhou Datong and others were slightly startled, Hu Ma said: "They are already here."

As he spoke, he pointed at the place pointed by Xiao Hongtang, gently bowed his head, and said: "Friends who listen to Qiang Gen..."

 “…Why don't you come out and meet me?”

　　What he said was very polite, but during this moment, there was a breeze moving around him.

 “Crash!”

Hu Ma spoke politely and did things secretly, so that no one around could see anything. However, there was a sudden earthquake outside the wall, and a figure jumped up as if his buttocks were on fire. He rushed towards the distance.

 “Still want to leave?”

Huma didn't expect that the other party would not react slowly, but as soon as he knelt down, he had already grabbed his body and was not able to distance himself from him.

Using the skill of a ghost climbing steps, he climbed over the wall and crossed the courtyard, walking on flat ground. In a flash of darkness, his figure floated out and rushed behind the man.

Picked up the dung fork he had just snatched from Zhao Zhu's hand, and was about to thrust it into his back.

Unexpectedly, the man reacted very quickly, sensed the danger, and simply stopped running. He suddenly stopped, stretched out his hands, and took off his robe. The robe fell off his body like a living thing, and immediately went to Hu Ma. It was carried around.

 “Poof!”

Hu Ma couldn't tell what kind of doorway this was, but he was careful and spit out a True Yang Arrow and stabbed it with a fork at the same time.

The hand felt slightly heavy, as if it had already pierced the person, but when he looked closely, he saw that the fork had only pierced a dark robe, but the other person appeared more than ten feet away and turned around.

Huma raised his foot and kicked out a piece of sand. At the same time, he raised his fork again to give him another blow.

But after getting this skill, the other party suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute, do you know who she is, and you dare to target her?"

As he drank, the fork in Hu Ma's hand stopped, only a finger away from his face, and his robe hung freely on the fork.

He frowned slightly and said, "I really don't know who she is. Do you know?"

"I…"

The man's voice was a little sad and angry, with a crying tone: "Of course I know, this is our young lady..."

 “I...I've been looking for her for several months...”

"Miss?"

Hu Ma looked at this man and could see that his clothes were of good quality, but in tatters, showing that he had not changed them for a long time.

There are also many scars on his body. It seems that he has fought with others. One of his legs is still broken. If it hadn't been for this broken leg, I might not have been able to catch him so easily.

He frowned and said, "Who are you?"

"I…"

The old man's voice was still a little excited, and he said loudly: "My surname is Zhou, and I am the housekeeper of Li Mansion in Dashiya. You..."

"Don't rely on the power of the Blood Food Gang to think that you can do whatever you want. I only advise you to leave the young lady in my hands and let me take her back."

"Otherwise, wait until the master comes to find you..."

“…not to mention your little village, even your Red Lantern Lady, I'm afraid I can't bear it!”

Seeing that his excitement was not fake, even though his words were a bit weird, Hu Ma also took back his fork and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you are really the housekeeper of the girl's family, why don't you come to see me openly and ask for it?" Are you hiding your head and showing off your tail?"       "It sounds like your family is still called a government or something. It's like a wealthy family. It's very timid and has no rules."

"I…"

This old man was extremely excited. He was scolded by Hu Ma, but he was stunned for a moment: "What do you think of Da Fangfang? When I see Da Fangfang, don't I fall into your trap?"

 “What's going on?”

At this moment, Zhou Datong had also come up, holding a rope in his hand, and said to Hu Ma: "Shopkeeper, do you want to tie him up?"

“The kid's urine is ready over there, why don't you just splash it on his face first?”

After what happened last time, they are now much more mature and are good at using children's urine to do big jobs. Hu Ma's usual teachings to them have also worked. He knows that the rivers and lakes are dangerous, so when he meets people in the rivers and lakes, he does not yell easily. First name, just call me shopkeeper, brother or something like that.

Of course, this situation is actually useless now. The old man has asked around and can easily know the name of Huma.

  But it's good to have this awareness.

 “No need for now, he just looks a little confused.”

Hu Ma glanced at the old man and said, "I delivered a letter to your family a month ago and asked you to come and pick it up. Why are you the only one here?"

"She seems to be in trouble now. Could it be that you were the one who did it?"

 “Did you deliver the letter? What letter?”

The old housekeeper was even more confused: "Miss, I am sure she was hit, but it wasn't you who did it?"

 “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Zhou Datong kicked him and cursed: "The sweet girl was picked up by our shopkeeper. If it hadn't been for him, the girl would have been thrown into the river to feed the old turtles."

“After we picked her up, our shopkeeper took care of her and raised her in a pampered way. At most, she cleaned the courtyard of the restaurant, washed clothes and dishes, bought vegetables, wiped the table, and cooked every day..."

“…we never let her do rough cleaning such as cleaning the toilet and carrying water!”

 “Picked up?”

The old housekeeper was even more confused. He couldn't keep up with what they were saying, and his expression was a little confused.

Just as he was talking, Zhao Zhu came over with a bucket, holding it in both hands, far away from his face.

　　 said: "Can the boy urinate? If he doesn't urinate, he will become cold."

"no, I'm fine…"

The old housekeeper didn't need anyone else to tell him this time. He waved his hands in a hurry and said, "You really didn't lie to me, did you?"

Hu Ma sounded a little impatient, and vaguely realized that this seemed to be a misunderstanding, so she said: "I picked up this girl half a year ago and said I would send her back, but she didn't remember anything and couldn't find out where she was. "

“She finally remembered the place, so I sent someone to deliver the letter to my house and asked someone to pick her up. Why, didn't you come with the letter?”

"ah…"

The old housekeeper finally understood now and looked at Hu Ma with some disbelief. Of course, he also saw the boy's urine in Zhao Zhu's hand next to him, which was ready to be poured down at any time. It was still warm...

I finally realized that I had blamed the wrong person. Tears of excitement welled up in my eyes. I suddenly kowtowed my head and cried loudly: "My benefactor, I am a benefactor..."

“I didn't expect that my young lady would be lucky enough to meet a good person...”

 “Holy shit…”

Hu Ma was startled and hurriedly stepped aside.

 Another kowtow came...

What's wrong with this? I'm not afraid of anything else. I'm just afraid of having a bad head, so I use kowtow to plot against myself.

However, he moved his head away, but he also saw that the old housekeeper did not seem to have any malicious intentions, so he shook his head and said: "Come in first and explain the matter clearly."

 “My lady is very lucky…”

The old housekeeper entered the store, and then he cried with relief: "I am old and no longer useful. I took the lady to look at the lights, but I lost her."

"I didn't have the shame to go back to see the master. I only left a letter at home, and then I went out to look for it with all my life. God is wise, and I really let me search all the way. When I saw you treating my young lady as a maid, I just thought it was you. Crushed."

“I was in the store and talked quietly to the lady, but she didn't recognize me. I knew someone had cast a spell on her body, so I didn't dare to alert the snake, so I left during the day...”

“I thought I would come over at night and ask how to save her, but I didn't expect…”

“In other words, he didn't come to pick me up after receiving the letter I delivered to Dashi Cliff…”

Hu Ma also understood the misunderstanding about this matter, frowned, and said: "Then it's not you who caused her to be like this now?"

 The old housekeeper was startled: "I...How dare I harm our young lady?"

Hu Ma pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Then come here first to see if she is your young lady and what happened?"

The old housekeeper had made such a fuss, and it was only now that he had the opportunity to see the girl up close. He hurriedly followed her, but upon taking a look, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly walked around Xiang Yatou's bed. After turning around in a circle, his voice sounded a little frightened:

"Miss...my lady, was she taken away?"
