Twilight Boundary Chapter 265

Chapter 265 The Gate of Hell

“Sure enough, Xiangya's fainting was related to the old housekeeper…”

Hu Ma sighed lowly, feeling ridiculous for a moment. At first, Xiang Yatou fainted inexplicably, so they all suspected that it was the old housekeeper, but his acting was so good that it dispelled everyone's doubts.

 I think it was because Xiang girl's memory was recovering, but when Leng Buding saw him, she remembered many things, and the old housekeeper could only take action immediately.

 Otherwise, if Xiang Yatou is awake, there will be too many things that he cannot explain, let alone coax people like himself.

　　After confirming that the girl had really woken up, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to take her out of the coffin, and asked with some concern: "Then how much do you know about your family's affairs?"

 “I remember it all…”

Xiang girl looked flustered. She was weak, but her eyes burst into tears: "Dad, you are still waiting for me in the cave."

"If I don't go back, the things in the ghost cave will come out, and everyone in the Li family will not survive..."

"What?"

Hearing the confused and anxious words of Xiang Yatou, Hu Ma was a little confused.

The housekeeper's words just now sounded like the entire Li family was avoiding some cursed fate. The rush to "exile" Xiang Yatou was also related to this.

But as soon as the Xiang girl woke up, why did she say that if she didn't go back, the people in the Li family would not survive?

My mind is really filled with too many things that I don't understand, but seeing that Xiang Yatou has just woken up and is a little confused, but her eyes are red and full of tears, I can only make a decision first.

Took a deep breath and said to Xiang Yatou: "Don't be anxious first, think about the matter carefully and tell us about it, but now we leave here first!"

So he hurriedly packed up the car again, and put the butler's body directly into the coffin, which was abandoned here. Now in the dark, Xiang girl had just woken up and was still confused. She didn't know that the body belonged to the butler.

The group of people hurried down the hillside and came to the official road.

 Just where to go, you need to think carefully. The housekeeper said that there are people from the Li family waiting in front. If they catch up, they will be in trouble.

So Hu Ma simply felt relieved and took everyone directly to Dongchang Mansion.

Anyway, everyone who came with the Beggar Gang was killed by him. Cui Ganniang and others were also dead, so it was safer here.

It is already late at night and the city gate has long been closed, but Hu Ma naturally has a way.

First, he found a low place and listened carefully. There was no one patrolling up there, so he used the skill of a ghost to climb the steps and brought people into the city one by one. However, it was difficult to place the cart and the donkey. But first find a secluded place to tie him up and pick him up the next day.

 Entering the city, avoiding the watchmen, they woke up the door of an inn.

　　After giving money, asking for hot water, and ordering a few bowls of noodles, I had time to ask carefully.

Xiang Yatou was just flustered now, as if the matter was too big and she was frightened. She said to Hu Ma: "Young master, I understand, I know how I came out."

 “But, they all thought wrong...”

"The Li family cannot escape from the ghost cave. The Li family guarding the ghost cave is not a responsibility, but a debt..."

 “Repay the debt?”

Hearing this, Hu Ma was even more puzzled and said, "How can I retaliate?"

"I remember…"

Xiang Yatou was frightened and said with sobs: "I remember my father told me before I got lost that the Li family, and it turns out that those families who were sent here, actually wanted to Beheaded prisoner.”

“We in Guidongzi are not officials, but prisoners. We were sent here just to watch Guidongzi. Staying here is our family's life..."

 “Prisoner?”

Listening to Hu Ma, he was already vaguely aware of these things, which might involve things that he had not thought of earlier.

 For people in today's world, the emperor is already too far away!

 The only thing known about him is that he was skinned.

Even the government has only a name these days and does not care at all. Who has the final say in Mingzhou Prefecture?

 It's obviously our Red Lantern Club!

 But in the end, in such a world, in such a remote place, there are still people there who are always guarding the emperor's orders?

The more he listened, the more he felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought.

He took a deep breath, tensed his mind, and then slowly asked Xiang Yatou the most important question: "What is in the ghost cave?"

"yes…"

The girl Xiang opened her mouth. She seemed to be a little hesitant about this question.

But facing Hu Ma's serious expression, she couldn't hide anything, so she still said it: "It's the underworld."

 “The ghost cave is the gate of ghosts.”

“The entire Lingshou Mansion, no, even the entire Anzhou, will end up in a ghost cave after death!”

"What?"

Hu Ma was quite surprised and stood up directly. He subconsciously looked at Agu Zhang, but saw that Agu Zhang also opened his eyes wide. Such a big walking ghost was frightened.

 In this world, are there really gates of hell?

 In the rumors, don't they say that the gate of **** has been closed?

Then why is there such a place in Lingshou Mansion? There are even living people guarding it for generations?

There were a lot of things to ask in my heart, but Xiang Yatou looked at him and said: "Master, I don't want to hide anything from you. You are a good person. You are the only good person I have met after leaving home." .”

“But my father told me not to tell outsiders about what happened in the cave. Most of the people in our Li family don't know about this matter..."

“My father said that there are some things that no living person can inquire about, otherwise, if you know too much, you will be taken away by things in the ghost cave.”

Hu Ma also calmed down immediately.

 He loves to inquire about things, but he also believes that anything is possible in this world.

Maybe there are really some things that, after asking about them, people will not know what they have offended and caused trouble.

 “I have to go back as soon as possible.”

The anxiety of Xiang Yatou is obvious: "No one in the family understands Dad. I'm afraid... I'm afraid of what they will do."

 “Hoo!”

Looking at her anxious expression, Hu Ma nodded slightly.

 It was necessary to send her back. Of course, obviously, I had to hesitate for a while.

Normal blood food helped a small shopkeeper, just to be a good person, and encountered so many troubles at once, it is impossible to retreat.

But in fact, for me, although the Li family's affairs are troublesome, the more it becomes like this, the more I have to go to Anzhou. When things have reached this point, I can no longer just go back if I want to. , the loss is too big.

 So, we need to take a step further and see what the situation is like.

Of course, that's what I said, but the Li family's family is too complicated and involves some secrets, so I can't be so stubborn.

 Let's go to Anzhou first, meet up with the red wine ladies there, and then discuss things.

So he was silent for a long time, then he lowered his head and told Xiang Yatou not to be afraid, he would take her home, but now that she was awake, the journey would be faster.

Hu Ma first asked everyone to go to bed and rest for a while, then he found Aunt Zhang, as well as the handlebar type and two assistants who had been working honestly along the way, and said: "Everyone has also worked hard along the way. "

"Now that we are awake, we need to travel lightly on the road ahead. I can just take her directly to Anzhou. If we encounter trouble again, it will be easier for the two of us to escape."

"Our work is done when we get here. You can take it with you now. You can take it with you now. You can also write a note to us when you go back. You can collect it from our village. Don't worry about it this time. Hire carriages and horses, and all the money will come to me."

Hearing that he could go back, Handlebar and the two guys were a little surprised.

 Normally I should be polite, but considering the dangers along the way, I really can't say anything polite.

 They were really afraid.

After giving instructions to the driver and the waiter, Hu Ma looked at Agu Zhang again and said, "Agu, we don't need to say polite words."

"Although you refused to be my master along the way, you taught me a lot. You even helped the apprentice to keep the altar as a ghost. This time I set up the altar and suffered a big loss."

"I don't want to say anything else. Of course, the money you paid for coming here is indispensable."

"And after you return to Mingzhou, you will live in peace and quiet first, close the door, don't let ghosts wander around, and don't raise the altar. Everything will be discussed when I return to Mingzhou."

“Although I am a member of the mixed-race food gang, I also know a few seniors. I think I can find a way to solve the problem that is troubling you.”

Aunt Zhang was obviously a little surprised after hearing what Hu Ma said.

She was just comforting herself at that time. After all, only her family knew about her own affairs. How could anyone from the Blood Food Gang think of a way to solve the problem of the Five Evil Gods invited to the hall?

But looking at Hu Ma's words with great seriousness and clear eyes, she couldn't help but believe him. She nodded and said, "I understand, let's go back and have a rest first."

After finishing the explanation, Hu Ma took out another blood food pill and gave it to Aunt Zhang to take.

Aunt Zhang was surprised. She had already eaten one of such an expensive item earlier, so why would she want to eat it again?

Hu Ma insisted on letting her eat, and helped them settle down a little. At the mule and horse shop in Dongchang Prefecture, he found out that a large caravan with a large number of people was about to set off to the south, so he gave money and arranged for Agu Zhang and the others. Follow along all the way.

Of course, not only did he accompany him, he also had to go to the city to take his donkey and bring it all the way back to Mingzhou. He and Xiang Yatou had to ride horses behind, so the donkey couldn't be taken care of.

 The good thing is that the people here are good and the donkey has not been taken away.

After arranging for them to go back, Hu Ma took a deep breath, returned to the city again, and hired a few horses.

Using the technique learned from Butler Zhou, they simply changed their appearance, and then the two of them took the side door and left the city.

I took the shortest road and headed straight to Anzhou.

The two of them hurried on their way and rode fast horses. Although it was a bit harder, the speed was obviously faster.

They were careful along the way, avoiding unknown troubles, traveling day and night, not daring to delay, but on the seventh day, they had already reached the border of Anzhou.
