Twilight Boundary Chapter 306

Chapter 306: Haunted by evil spirits (third update)

 After the New Year, I returned to Zhuangzi and began to prepare for the harvesting of Tai Sui in the spring.

Logically speaking, it is not the first year that Hu Ma and others in this village are also familiar with cooking, but last year their village was really not popular, and they were always guarded like thieves.

During the months when Tai Sui was harvested, I was just doing warehouse management work, because I had no chance to interact with Tai Sui at all, and of course there was no money or water. This was also the reason why Zhuangzi's public account was relatively poor last year.

 But this year, it's different.

We are hugging Xu Xiangzhu's lap, and the meeting is full of acquaintances!

When he arrived in the city, he put away the mountain goods that he had brought from the second master for his old friend. Xu Xiangzhu understood what was going on and whispered: "Come into our club. If you don't walk around the mine, it will be useless." He has a reputation of relying on blood food, but in fact he only works as a bodyguard."

“Of course, walking around the mine is not because we want to make money, but mainly because we want to get closer to Master Tai Sui and gain some luck, right?”

 Hu Ma deeply agrees, that is, we have no selfish motives, we just want to know more about Master Tai Sui.

 “I've picked a place for you...”

The two of them immediately looked at each other and smiled, and then hurriedly whispered for a while that the Red Lantern Lady could not hear, and could only be whispered by themselves.

“It's just that when we took over the Blood Food Mine, in order to avoid trouble, we agreed to the people who had been guarding the mine. Only fools would continue to use them. If it's safe, we must clear them out.”

 This is also a change brought about by the building of the temple by the Red Lantern Lady.

 But they soon discovered that the work they received this year was completely different from last year.

After a slight pause, he lowered his voice and said: "...We will kill him in the second half of the year."

Xu Xiangzhu lowered his voice and said: "There is a blood food mine over Xiazi Ridge in Xishan Mountain. It used to be the property of the Tsing Yi Gang, and we took it over last year."

"This season, let them continue to be in charge. I will point out a few of their mistakes and attack them together, just in time for you to take over. But you have to do a good job this year and establish a solid reputation, so that I can directly hand over It's in your hands…”

 When he came back, he used his own money to prepare a table and told the guys to get busy.

 No problem means that the problem has been solved, not that there is no problem.

“Otherwise, in our Red Lantern Club alone, there would be quite a few people staring at the blood-food mine…”

"This is obviously yours, I'm just keeping an eye on it for you..."

The guys were naturally worried, as they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy along the way, but Hu Ma personally escorted them every time, and they were cautious along the way, so there were no problems.

“You can go over there later, take it over directly, and let the old abacus follow you to settle the accounts. We will feel relieved, and so will my wife, right?”

At first, the guys just thought it was the same as last year, just repairing the mouse holes in the warehouse, and waiting for the people escorting the blood food to come. Be diligent and careful, and don't get into trouble.

Hearing his clear arrangement, Hu Ma was moved, and then seriously criticized: "Uncle Xu, what you said is wrong. What do you mean by leaving it in my hands?"

As they began to receive and **** the food, the work and the risks on the road of course increased. From the moment the blood food came out of the mine, into their hands, and then all the way to Zhumen Town to take over, all the responsibilities in between were theirs.

“Of course, a promise is a promise, and you have to live with dignity. I just promised last year to let them continue to take care of it, but this year I will just kill the donkey. It doesn't look good on my face, so...”

Together with the guardians on the left and right, as well as all the worshipers, incense masters and incense burners, they all came to Zhumen Town.

Last year they were only in charge of the warehouse, and even the work of guarding the warehouse was guarded. This year, they made several trips out in a few months. They received truckloads of blood food from the blood food mine, and then went out all the way. He was escorted and taken to Zhumen Town for accounting.

 In the past, the Red Lantern Society settled in the city, but now, the first temple of the Red Lantern Lady Society was built in Zhumen Town.

Attracted by the smell of blood food, some evil spirits couldn't help but come over, but they were dispersed by Hu Ma's roar.

In addition, there are also a few bandits who want to take advantage of their batch of blood food. These are not the kind of bandits in the mountains who block the road and let them go after asking for something. They really want to kill people, steal a batch, and then hide in Laoyin Mountain. The robber who waits until the limelight has passed before coming out.

 As for this group of people, one of them was kicked to death by Zhou Datong, and Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu also got blood on their hands.

 After all, each of them has now learned a hand.

 Zhou Liang learned his left hand, Zhao Zhu learned his right hand, and Zhou Datong had already perfected his legs. He was best at ghost climbing skills, sliding doors to pick locks, climbing over widow's walls, peeling windows and listening to music...

Hu Ma didn't know why he learned this unique skill that was different from his own, but he did practice it well and had his own characteristics.

Of course, the unified rule is that although Hu Ma taught them, Hu Ma is not their master, the second master is.

Huma is just teaching the Dharma on behalf of the second master, and is only considered their senior brother.

 The only problem is...

 …The second master didn't know that he already had four disciples in his sect.

After working hard for several months, Hu Ma and his gang escorted dozens of blood food into Zhumen Town. When they were busy, they would make a trip every two or three days. When they came back, the animals didn't even have a good rest, so they picked them up again. Got the order.

But Hu Ma also knew that this was Xu Xiangzhu helping him to accumulate merit, so he did not refuse. He was in charge of the guys with good wine and meat every day, and the guys were happy.

In this way, seeing that this busy period is about to pass, Hu Ma also thinks to himself that he has almost accumulated credit. The next step is to wait for Xu Xiangzhu to make arrangements, then go to Xiaziling to take over the blood food mine there. When the time comes, You Shui will It suddenly became thicker.

On this day, I was ordered to pick up a batch of blood food sealed in a large vat. Seeing that it was sealed in a large urn with runes drawn on it, Hu Ma guessed that the things in the urn should be good things. She was heartbroken, but warned herself to hold back, hold back...

 …Let's talk about it after we get back to the mine!

 Whenever he takes over the mine, Xiao Hongtang can eat blood food every day.

I picked it up early in the morning and after a day's journey, I wanted to go back to Zhuangzi to rest for a day, but I didn't expect that there was a flood in a place and washed away a bridge. I took a long detour, but my trip was delayed. When Zhuangzi was still more than ten miles away, the sky became dark.

 “This is all at the doorstep, so we won't stop!”

Hu Ma thought that it was now around Zhuangzi, and sometimes they would come here on night patrol.

It only took more than half an hour to rush back, but I rested here and didn't have as many dreams as the long night.

Hence he rode faster and promised in a low voice that the horseman would give him two kilograms of wine to rest after he returned, and then continued on his way along the official road.

It is easy to encounter evil things when traveling at night, and if you are driving at night with blood food, the number of evil things will increase tenfold. However, because of the land around Zhuangzi, Hu Ma and the others are so familiar with each other that everyone knows which grave is sleeping. .

We all have friendships, so there are not many people who cause trouble for them.

But just when they were passing by Huanggou Village and almost saw their village in the distance, they suddenly saw a large flag standing on both sides of the dark official road in front of them. A lantern was lit on the top of the flag, illuminating it. The words on the flag were illuminated.

 Piaodangdang is exactly the four characters of "avoiding strangers".

A group of strong-looking men stood behind the plaque. When they saw someone coming, they immediately shouted:

 “Stand far away, don't come near!”

"this…"

 After hearing this, all the guys were a little confused and turned to look at Hu Ma.

Hu MaBian also jumped out of the carriage politely, stepped forward a few steps, bowed from a distance, and said: "Which friend is in front of you?"

“We are disciples of the Red Lantern Lady Society. We are going back to Zhuangzi. Can we borrow a way?”

 “Red Lantern Club?”

The group of strong men sneered when they heard this and said, "So what?"

“Our mage master is here to remove evil spirits and save people. Everyone who is idle hastily detoured to avoid bumping into the altar.”

 “To remove evil spirits and save people?”

Hearing this, Hu Ma was slightly startled.

Now at the gate of their own village, everyone is used to being arrogant, and they all have skills. When they heard the other party speak so rudely, Zhou Datong, Liang and Zhu were a little angry.

 But Hu Ma was busy asking people to stop, and stepped back more than ten feet, not wanting to conflict with these people.

 “Xiao Hongtang, what happened ahead?”

After retreating far enough to make sure those people couldn't hear what was going on here, Hu Ma came to the roadside and asked in a low voice into the dark field.

 “Oh, it's the sister from the well...”

Xiao Hongtang quickly crawled over from the field, holding a small basket in her hand, and said nervously to Hu Ma: "Brother Hu Ma, the sister in the well is fighting with someone in front, and those people keep beating her with whips. But she just grabbed someone and wouldn't let go.”

 “Sister in the well?”

Hu Ma was also stunned for a long time, and then suddenly realized: "Is it her?"

Right in front, behind the two plaques, and in the middle surrounded by a group of people, there is a carriage. This carriage originally had a roof, but now it has been dismantled.

Sitting in the carriage was a middle-aged man with a white face and a long beard, who was dressed luxuriously, but now he had a sinister look on his face, his movements were shaky, his eyes were strange, and he was full of hatred. He looked at the man in front of him holding the Man with oil lamp.

This man wore a black robe, had a mustache, and held a willow-tipped whip in one hand. He stared at the man and shouted: "Evil beast, do you know who he is? How dare he harm people?"

　　"Leave him quickly, or I will punish you so much that your soul will fly away and you will never be reincarnated!"

“Of course I know who he is, he is my husband-in-law, he just pushed me into the well cruelly.”

When the man heard this, his eyes were full of hatred and he smiled: "I later moved the grave just to guard him here..."

"I didn't expect him to be so cruel. When he finally came back, he filled up my well first. If I hadn't moved and was just waiting for him by the official road, I wouldn't have even seen him face to face now. No, Master, take a look, isn't this our fate?"
