Twilight Boundary Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Thanks to the Li family

"ah?"

Even Hu Ma didn't expect that the Li family's request was this. She felt ridiculous for a moment, but suddenly felt reasonable.

The Li family of Dongzi has lived here for generations, but after all, they also yearn for excitement. No matter how seclusive they are, it is impossible to be completely isolated from the outside world.

Just like a tribesman marries a wife and has children, can it still be digested internally?

Butler Zhou said before that his daughter married into the master's family. In fact, it can be seen that in order to get wives for the clan members, the Li family of Dongzi does not care about their status. Perhaps as long as they are destined and willing to stay, they will promise.

But it is easy to make people stay, but it is difficult to stay willingly. How many people can bear the hardship every day?

Of course, from his words, we can vaguely see another attitude of the Li family, that is, with the return of Xiang Yatou, the people of this clan are probably prepared to not be able to go out.

Hearing his request, Madam Han also laughed and said softly: "This is easy to talk about."

“We, the disciples and grandsons of our sect, make a living from this profession. How dare we refuse to agree to such a good employer?”

“I'll go talk to them and arrange for Taiwanese opera to come over every month.”

“That's good, thank you Madam Han for taking care of me...”

The head of the Li family bowed repeatedly and said with a smile: "We have invited several theater troupes and juggling troupes in the past, but they always got scared and refused to come."

“But with Madam Han's instructions, they will probably believe us..."

The two chatted in detail before he walked over. It could be seen that the smile on his face was genuine.

Seeing that everyone else had thanked him one by one, and finally arrived at Hu Ma, he stood up politely, greeted the other party, and looked at the box containing the copper coins calmly. It's already empty...

"Mr. Hu, I have met the master and listened to his story. I know that it was you who saved the lives of our entire clan."

The new head of the Li family in Dongzi whispered: "I dare not forget this great kindness, and it is not something I can repay with ordinary things. But please come with me, sir, so that the Li family can express their feelings!"

 “Why should you be polite when it's the right thing to do?”

Hu Ma said, and followed him, but came to a house not far away. Most of the houses here were just like farmhouses, low and simple, with mud walls and thatched roofs. Only this one was exquisitely and elegantly built. , like a bookstore, just looking at it, it is already very old.

"This is the official residence that was built when my ancestors of the Li family came here. No one lives in it now. The younger generations who came after me just put up walls and grass to make do."

The person in charge of the Li family explained with a smile, and then asked Hu Ma to sit down. He also called a young man from the younger generation of the Li family who was waiting at the door and gave a few instructions, asking him to get the things cut from the back mountain. .

Hu Ma's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words "Golden Pattern Paste".

 Can't?

 But when the head of the Li family had served tea and had drunk less than half a cup, he saw the younger member of the Li family walking in carrying two large baskets.

The basket is really an ordinary bamboo basket, but its belly is quite big. I am afraid it cannot hold more than a hundred kilograms of things in one basket. The carrying pole is bent under the weight, so you can imagine how heavy the things inside are.

 He picked it out, put it by the wall, then said goodbye and left.

Hu Ma remained calm, but he lifted his nose slightly, and immediately smelled a very familiar smell. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he was even more surprised.

 But the head of the Li family did not look at the two big baskets. He just smiled at Hu Ma and said slightly apologetically: "Sir, you have been waiting for a long time."

"You have traveled thousands of miles to send my young lady back, and you have gone through so many dangers on the way. My Li family will remember it deeply in my heart, and I am not very grateful. It's just that this kindness is too great. If you repay it with gold, silver, and customary gifts, it will look like I am The Li family is too rude..."

　　'I don't really mind, I can forgive you…'

Hu Ma thought in her heart, but couldn't say it on her face. She just smiled modestly and said, "I've heard this many times. It's really the Li family who are being polite."

"Sending Miss Xiangyu back was the right thing to do. Besides, no one knew that the Li family was such a wealthy family before. Maybe I shouldn't have done anything at that time. I just revised a letter and handed it over, and the Li family would naturally take her back. .”

 “Sir, you are too modest...”

The head of the Li family smiled, and suddenly said in a low voice: "I have asked the master, and the master also said that it is difficult to thank Mr. for your kindness with common etiquette. In life, one's ability is the most important, and Mr. Those who eat blood food..."

After a slight pause, he looked at Hu Ma and said: "In addition, the master also saw that Mr. Hu is from the lineage of people who watch the year, right?"

Hu Ma didn't expect that the topic would suddenly turn to this. She was slightly startled, looked into the other person's eyes, and said, “Does the Li family also know how to keep the year old?”

 “I don't understand that.”

The manager smiled and said: "We in the Li family actually don't have much ability. These abilities were all given to us by Guidongzi."

 “It's really going out, whether it will be useful or not is hard to say.”

"But in Lingshou Mansion, or in Anzhou, all the people who die will come to the ghost cave."

“Among these people, there are naturally some Sui Shou people. If they are Shou Sui people who have entered the mansion, their souls will not be here. However, there are quite a few Sui Shou people who have not entered the mansion but have unique skills.”

“The Li family is responsible for welcoming these people, serving their last meal, and listening to their last words. After staying here for a long time, of course they have saved a lot of things from each door. Maybe..."

“…Some of them are suitable for those who watch the year, and I won't dislike them, sir.”

“What?” Hu Ma was quite calm when the Li family mentioned the old man just now. The Li family in this cave was so mysterious that it naturally attracted many people in the family.

Just like Housekeeper Zhou, wasn't he also rescued by the Li family and willing to come and serve?

Since it can attract people from the juicy sect, people from the shousui sect will probably also be attracted. It is probably not difficult for them to give them some pointers before entering the government.

But he never expected that the head of the Li family would actually say such words...

 The shock in my heart was hard to describe in words.

 The Li family of Dongzi is actually more profound and terrifying than I imagined...

Not to mention anything else, if those who died in Anzhou really came to Guidongzi, and the Li family had the ability to ask some secrets and Dharma from these dead people, these generations would , how much has the Li family accumulated?

Dharma door represents ability, secret, and even more...

For a moment, Hu Ma even felt that perhaps the Dongzi Li family's background was too great to be imagined.

Earlier in Mingzhou, when I first learned about the Li family of Guidongzi, I just thought that the Li family of Guidongzi had a solid foundation and was stronger than the Red Lantern Lady Society, but it must not be as strong as the Red Lantern Lady Society.

but now…

 …Well, if Xiaohonglan tries hard for another hundred or eighty years, it may not be enough, right?

At this moment, he did not try to hide it, but really showed the surprised expression on his face.

“Actually, we should give all the inheritance methods of the Shou Sui people to the master. This is not enough.”

Seeing Hu Ma's reaction, the head of the Li family sighed lowly and said: "After all, the old man who has entered the mansion will not come to Guidongzi, but after all, there are some who know the method of entering the mansion, but they still can't." There are no new year-watchers who have entered the mansion."

"It's just that the method of entering the house has too much cause and effect. It doesn't belong to our Li family. If I give it to sir, I'm afraid that the ancestors of the Shou Sui people will come to us to reason."

“So, I can only use a few skills to show you, Sir, if there is anything suitable...”

 “Enough is enough…”

Hu Ma was quite surprised when he heard this.

Shou Sui certainly attaches great importance to his unique skills. It can be said that the number of unique skills he has on his body will determine how many skills he can use when encountering trouble.

Now, I have refined my five internal organs, but I only have two unique skills in my body. One is exchanged for my life, and the other is a unique skill that I exchanged for my life, and was exchanged for kindness, and then obtained from others.

　　　From what I heard from the Li family, it turns out that this is the unique skill of the year-watchers, and they have everything here?

Still picking and picking...

　　…We outside watchers are not picky at all. As long as they have unique skills, they are all welcome…

In addition, he also mentioned the method of entering the mansion. In other words, it's not that they don't have this method, but they are just worried that if they give it to themselves, they will make the ancestors of the watchers dissatisfied?

There are all these things, so how strong is the foundation of the Li family?

While thinking in surprise, he also subconsciously looked at the two big baskets by the wall. He had just smelled the smell of Tai Sui's flesh and blood in those two big baskets. If the Li family planned to use the Sui Sui people's method to Thank myself, the things in that basket are...

 “Oh, those.”

The boss smiled and said: "That is a local product prepared by my lady for my husband. It was cut from the back mountain. The Li family relies on eating this every day to stay near this ghost cave."

 “When sir leaves, just take it with you.”

 “What the hell?”

Hu Ma was even more shocked. Is there a blood food mine in the mountains behind the Li family?

The Li family of Dongzi, who has a simple meal every day, even setting up a banquet, makes me feel a little disgusted by someone who comes from a village, but they actually live guarding a blood food mine?

Shocked by the Dongzi Li family's handwriting and the unintentionally revealed secret, Hu Ma reacted briefly, and then immediately showed...

 …Strong refusal and rejection: “It can't be done…”

“We didn't come here, so how could we accept such a heavy gift from you? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, take this thing back quickly...”

The head of the Li family also hurriedly said: "If you want anything, sir, be sure to accept it, otherwise you will blame me for not doing things well..."

 “No, no, no.”

The originally peaceful conversation suddenly became intense. Hu Ma thought it was what should be done and refused to accept it. The new head of the Li family must express this feeling.

 You push and I give in. You push again and I give in.

 In the end, Hu Ma lost...
