Twilight Boundary Chapter 224

Chapter 224: The Ghost Cave Family

"Why…"

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts was shocked when he heard this. When he saw the young lady talking, she was about to hug the cat and go back upstairs, so she quickly followed her in small steps.

I felt a little helpless for a moment. The children in this village were so good at beating snakes and following sticks. Back in Laoyin Mountain, it was because of his words that the hostess put all her important matters aside and accompanied him to find him. Mother-in-law went.

Now, because of his words, he allowed himself to treat people.

The identities of these two people are obviously very different, one is in the sky and the other is in the mud, but how come they are so close to each other?

It's just that the hostess was generous and asked me to help as soon as she saw that she knew him, but she actually didn't understand the situation...

He whispered to her a few times, and then looked back at Xiang Yatou. Miss Baijiu was slightly startled when she heard this, frowned and said: "Is it so troublesome? It is your duty to save people, but it is also right not to hold grudges. "

 “If you ask clearly, please help me again!”

 “Then you still want to help?”

The shopkeeper Wugui understood what the young lady meant and could only agree first. He just sighed helplessly in his heart and turned around with a smile on his face.

After all, Miss Cao Xintang still wants to save face. Normally, Cao Xintang would not even ask about such matters that obviously involve grudges.

“Little brother, our boss has spoken, so we can only listen to this matter.”

He came back and sat down next to Xiang Yatou. He smiled helplessly at Hu Ma and said, "But what is the origin of this patient you brought and how did he become like this? You guys have to take good care of it." Talk about it."

“Otherwise, even if we want to help you see it, we won't be able to see it…”

"yes."

Hu Ma nodded in agreement, then looked to the side.

The housekeeper of Xiang girl's house was already anxious and didn't know what to say. It was only then that Hu Ma said to him: "You have been so secretive just now, and I didn't ask you directly. Now you have heard what the old shopkeeper said." , are you still unwilling to say anything?"

"I…"

The old housekeeper was full of eagerness, and when he met the eyes of Hu Ma and Five Ghost Shopkeepers, he finally couldn't hold himself back, but he seemed to feel that there were too many people around him, and he looked confused.

Shopkeeper Caoxintang Five Ghosts looked at it, and he was quite impatient. He waved his hand and asked the guys around him to go down. Zhou Datong was a good observer, so he also took the other guys down. Now, there was only Hu Ma, the old housekeeper, and the five ghost shopkeepers were left.

But the old housekeeper was obviously still a little hesitant, as if it was hindered by Hu Ma's presence.

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts was obviously a little angry, and said calmly: "The old gentleman is really a big deal, otherwise you should stop talking and take the people away by yourself!"

 “Yes, yes, it's my fault...”

The old housekeeper was sweating on his forehead. He hurriedly apologized, bowed to Hu Ma, and seemed to be heartbroken, before he said to the shopkeeper of Five Ghosts: "Old sir, to be honest, my lady..."

 “She is the daughter of the Li family who guards the ghost cave in Lingshou Mansion...”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Hu Ma and Five Ghost Shopkeepers changed slightly.

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts seemed a little surprised. He hurriedly lowered his head and glanced at Xiang Yatou. He shrank back slightly, looking thoughtful.

 “The guard of the ghost cave?”

Hu Ma was slightly startled, thinking: "What are you doing? It's really not Wuchang Li..."

Although I thought it was unbelievable at first to suddenly pick up someone from the Wichang Li family, I was also thinking, what if it was true? Will he make a lot of money?

Now that I heard something wrong, I felt a little disappointed, as if I had lost something...

 “The Li family of Lingshou Mansion?”

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts also frowned slightly, then looked at the old housekeeper and said, "So what?"

"ah?"

The old housekeeper has been secretive and refused to tell the identity of this fragrant girl. Even if he wanted to say it, he just wanted to tell it secretly to the commander of Caoxin Hall. Now that he has revealed it, he did not expect that she is actually like this. Wait for reaction.

 Her expression suddenly became a little panicked.

"I know this place. It's a big family in Anzhou Prefecture, and it's famous in the world."

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts said to the old housekeeper: "But this old man, you brought this name out of the blue, which made us Cao Xintang embarrassed."

"The Li family of Guidongzi has no grudges or entanglements with our Cao Xin Tang. If your disease complies with the rules of our Cao Xin Tang, we will treat it even for ordinary people. If it goes against the rules, then you will not treat it." So that we can be forced to treat people, right?"

“If you are capable, you can heal people yourself, so why come to us?”

 After saying a few words, the old housekeeper felt embarrassed for a moment. Cao Xintang's reaction was very different from what he had expected.

“I don't know what the Guidongzi Li family is.”

At this time, Hu Ma spoke directly and said: "But this girl was picked up from the river by me. She was kidnapped and her memory is not clear, but she is a good person. She has been staying at my place for such a period of time. People around Zhuangzi work diligently and are kind to others, and everyone around her values ​​her."

“Before this happened, she was still doing needlework and had never offended anyone. It just happened suddenly. I don't know anything else.”

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts looked at Hu Ma and said, "Did you go to any evil places before? Did you offend anyone? Or did you provoke some powerful evil spirits?"

Hu Ma shook his head and said: "She only helps with work in the wine shop. At most, she only goes to the village to deliver meals. She doesn't even leave the town, so how can she provoke anything serious?" "If it's weird..."

As he spoke, he looked at the old housekeeper next to him and said, "It's quite strange that this old gentleman appears."

Hearing this, the old housekeeper broke into a cold sweat and said hurriedly: "Don't make any guesses, I know the situation of the young lady. She is born in the yin world, and her soul can leave her body as soon as the red falls, and she can extradite the souls of the dead."

“Now I think the living soul is trapped somewhere and cannot return.”

“But actually, there are a lot of things that happened before and after this, and even I don't understand it very well..."

"Ever since...when the lanterns were put out, the lady was kidnapped, and I felt weird, but I don't know why. When I found the lady this time, she didn't recognize me, but..."

“But I think no matter what, the master can definitely look after the lady.”

“This time, I don't ask for anything else. I just hope that Cao Xintang can help my young lady stabilize her life. At least I can make her wait until she meets the master, that's fine...”

From what he said, I don't expect Cao Xintang to be able to cure her, but just let Cao Xintang help stabilize the situation.

 The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts also hesitated slightly, thoughtfully.

The old housekeeper stood up and knelt down beside him and said: "Cao Xintang's great kindness in saving lives will be remembered by the Li family of Dashitouya..."

 “Don't kneel down, don't kneel down…”

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts also hurriedly stopped the old housekeeper and said: "Treatment or not depends on the rules and has nothing to do with your family. Besides, this matter is not simple. I always have to go upstairs and ask the lady for advice first."

 “You two sit down for a moment, someone is here to watch the tea!”

As he spoke, he asked the waiter in the shop to serve tea, and he got up and went upstairs.

Hu Ma and the old housekeeper sat here. The old housekeeper was a little embarrassed. After sitting for a while, he said to Hu Ma: "Don't be surprised, my benefactor. It's not that I can't trust my benefactor, but my lady's life experience is very involved. I don't Dare to say it.”

 “If you don't say it, don't you also say it?”

Hu Ma thought to herself, with a sneer on her face, and said to the old housekeeper: "Old man, don't blame me for speaking out."

“I saved this person casually, and I didn't take it seriously at first.”

"Now that she is ill, I have also used time and favors. It stands to reason that her family has come to find her. I can't wait to put down my hands and go with your family."

“But I delivered the letter to Dashi Yatou, but her family didn't come over. Here you are, and you're someone I found myself. Besides, the girl Xiang didn't recognize you in the wine shop before.”

"Now you just keep saying that you are the steward of their family. Do you have any tokens to prove it?"

"I'm still here now because I don't trust you. You are still so secretive, but who are you looking down on?"

When he said this, the old housekeeper was already a little ashamed. When he looked at him earlier, he seemed to be vaguely arrogant from a wealthy family, but now he seemed to have been stripped naked all of a sudden. He explained embarrassingly: "I also know what I should show." Tokens, to win people's trust…”

“It's just that I came here all the way and ran around for a long time. I also met some tough people, was beaten half to death, and lost all my luggage. It's really…”

 “That's your problem too.”

Hu Ma said calmly: "Besides, you don't have a token. Even if you take out the token, I just feel relaxed. I have left it to you. I will go back to Zhuangzi to do my work."

“What's the matter, do you really think that you guys have become relatives of the emperor, and everyone will fawn over you when they see you?”

What he said was true. The old housekeeper couldn't keep it off his face. He suddenly knelt down and said, "My benefactor, please don't say that. It will really make me lose my face..."

Hu Ma just raised his hand to lift him up when he knelt down, without letting him kneel down.

 But he also frowned and showed no joy.

 “What's going on?”

At this moment, Shopkeeper Wu Gui came downstairs and saw the two people like this. He was slightly startled, then ignored them and just said to Hu Ma: "My lady said, since she didn't take the initiative to provoke them, then... You can take a look.”

"It's just that today I have to burn incense and bathe in order to be able to command my order."

As he spoke, he smiled at Hu Ma and said, "I wanted to have a few drinks with my little brother at noon, but we have to wait for another day."

 “I can't touch wine today.”

Hu Ma smiled quickly and said: "The days are long, what are you doing in a hurry?"

I had a vague feeling in my heart. The fragrant girl would take the initiative to leave her soul and help the wronged soul lead the way. So in her current situation, it is hard to say whether she took the initiative to provoke him. After all, she accidentally broke into some evil territory, which is actually not different from taking the initiative to provoke him.

To put it bluntly, whether to save someone or not is all a matter of Miss White Wine.

Now that she said she wanted to save her, was it because in her eyes, Xiang Yatou also broke the rules and needed to save people?
