Twilight Boundary Chapter 309

Chapter 309 The official family

The originally aggressive black-robed mage, after a few words from Grandma Qi, backed down without even trying.

Seeing him retreating respectfully as if facing a formidable enemy, neither his men nor the servants beside the nobleman knew what was going on, and they did not dare to interrupt.

Even the guys around Hu Ma were stunned and couldn't figure out what was going on. They were just like the old servant of the noble man. They couldn't see the current seventh aunt and couldn't hear her words. They could only vaguely hear a sound of locks. It was blowing loudly.

　Grandma Qi from earlier was just a spirit and could only speak if she possessed someone.

 But now, her moral status has improved and her status has changed. She can talk to people directly, but not everyone can see her.

Therefore, in most people's eyes, they only saw the black-robed mage. He wanted to bring the blood food to the altar, but suddenly a dark wind blew, and the situation changed drastically. He spoke to the air for a long time, and then immediately decided to go back .

In this dim night, there is a sense of mystery and solemnity, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

 “Send the blood food back to Zhuangzi first.”

Seeing that the matter was over, Hu Ma also nodded in the direction of Grandma Qi. Instead of explaining it to the guys in detail, she hurriedly put the two large urns on the car into the warehouse. Finally let go of this heart.

 The next day together, instead of busy with luck, Hu Ma said hello and came to Huanggou Village to inquire.

Sure enough, I saw that the well where I had gone to fish out Li Wazi had been filled with stones, and stones to suppress evil spirits were placed at the mouth of the well.

There are also yellow talismans on it, which are tightly sealed.

 It can be seen that the people in the village are extremely dissatisfied and even want to spit from a distance.

The terrain in Huanggou Village is high and it is difficult to draw water. Every well is extremely precious. Now that it has been filled in, we don't know how troublesome it will be to draw water in the future.

This is also the reason why Hu Ma helped clean up the evil spirits in the well, which made the people in Huanggou Village very grateful. However, they haven't had water for a few days, and now a few more inexplicable people have come, and they didn't even say hello. If the well is sealed, who wouldn't scold it?

However, maybe that was the case. When those people were filling the well, someone guessed the reason, but they didn't come up to talk to him. The uncle didn't know that the dead bones in the well had been removed.

Of course, another problem is that even this uncle is actually ashamed to talk about what happened in the past. He just wants to cover up the past and doesn't want to cause trouble and speak harshly after so many years.

The people who came over just looked to see if there was anything in the well, and regardless of whether there was something or not, they sealed the well without knowing what was going on here.

After looking at the well, Hu Ma went to the official road and looked at the small graves he had piled up.

There is no movement in the grave now.

After a person dies, the body-guarding soul only guards his own bones. As time goes by, he will disperse sooner or later. But before he disperses, he will guard the unfaithful person and possess him, and the grave will be quiet.

It is natural for an innocent soul to seek his life, but Hu Ma is also curious, who is the unfaithful person she wants to claim his life for?

How could he have such great dignity that he invited people from Plum Blossom Alley to take action?

You must know that the people in Plum Blossom Alley rely on their status and usually don't even pay attention to the big boss of the Blood Food Gang...

After pondering in his mind, Hu Ma went back to Huanggou Village to inquire. Fortunately, he was now familiar with several faces in several villages around here, and he was somewhat prestigious. After asking, several toothless old ladies came to join him. Come and talk to him about this sinful debt.

But it turned out that the ungrateful man's surname was Zheng, and his ancestral home was in ruins at the west end of Huanggou Village.

Earlier, this family had little land resources and raised a child bride since she was a child. Due to a great plague, the Zheng family's father and mother died early, but it was the child bride who farmed, weaved, carried water and cooked. The children of the Zheng family were raised.

Moreover, this daughter-in-law deeply remembered the instructions of her parents-in-law when they were still alive. She did not let him do any work. She only served him every day, let him study, and raised money to take the imperial examination.

The boy from the Zheng family is also considered smart. After studying hard for more than ten years, he actually took part in the last imperial examination twenty years ago. He was also selected as a scholar. It is reasonable to say that he can become an official. However, the court soon fell into chaos. , he could only return to the village and wait for the appointment of the court.

This wait lasted for several years. The world became more and more chaotic, evil spirits grew, and the people were in dire straits. It was difficult to survive, let alone be an official.

It was also under the persuasion of the people in the village that they started gossiping when they saw that the woman was older and would not get married.

So he nodded, and with the help of his neighbors, he sewed the wedding dress, made two thin mats for two tables, took off the wheels of the wooden cart, and reluctantly made a sedan, which circled around the village, and then carried it back to his home. Door.

In order to look good at the only bracelet left by my mother-in-law during her lifetime, she never sold it no matter how difficult her life was. She didn't wear it until she got married.

With this bracelet and the witnesses from the villagers, it is equal to the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. There is no one more correct than her status.

People in the village say that the daughter-in-law is very lucky. After twenty years of keeping her husband, she can be regarded as having achieved positive results.

But that night, two people came carrying baggage and riding horses. They claimed to be from Huai'an. When the young master of the Zheng family heard about it, he hurriedly came out to pick him up. However, when the two men saw that his house was decorated with colorful flowers, they He shook his head repeatedly and said that it was a pity that it was too late.

 What was said later, no one knows.

 All I know is that that night, the young master of the Zheng family packed his things overnight and followed the two men.

The bride ran out crying, but her cries were drowned by the well.

Since then, the young master of the Zheng family has been gone for twenty or thirty years without a trace, and the well was initially blocked by the villagers. Because he had no identity and felt that there was too much resentment in the well, he did not dare to fish it. She could only carry water from elsewhere.

But later, the stream often broke off, and the other two wells in the village also dried up from time to time. The old man in the village had no choice but to open this well again.

 I thought it would be better after so many years, but in the end I became filled with resentment.

It was not until later that the little steward from Zhuangzi came over, sealed the well, and removed the dead bones in the well that the matter came to an end.

"So, if I hadn't persuaded her to move, she might have been locked up forever?" Hu Ma thought to herself, feeling unhappy about retribution.

After writing down these things, he returned to Zhuangzi. The two large urns were loaded onto the cart and transported to Zhumen Town.

　　The work was not over until the incense master of Xueshi, the shopkeeper, opened the jar, checked it, and entered the warehouse. Hu Ma turned around and went to the incense master Xu to say hello.

 If you have any errands later, don't go to Qingshi Town for the time being.

Anyway, in the past few months, I have led many of my assistants and made many trips back and forth without making a single mistake. I have made a lot of achievements. I think it will be enough for me to take over the blood food mine in Xiaziling in the second half of the year.

"That's enough, but you were still thinking about running a few more times earlier, so you felt at ease."

 Xu Xiangzhu's request for Hu Ma was all fulfilled. He just smiled and said, “Why did it suddenly change now?”

 “Something almost happened last night.”

Hu Ma whispered: "When you encounter people from Plum Blossom Alley, you will be forced to borrow blood for food!"

When Xu Xiangzhu mentioned what happened last night, he was obviously shocked. He immediately lowered his voice and said, "The one who opened his mouth to borrow blood is named Yan?"

"The old man in Plum Blossom Alley is a nice person. Every year, we at the red lantern club have to pay for the blood food that we pay tribute to, but he also abides by the rules. He will pay for us when we have to pay tribute. Normally, I don't accept my filial piety.”

“He has taught several apprentices, and he usually does not stay in the city. He just travels between various prefectures and counties. His reputation is not bad, but his third apprentice has a very bad reputation.”

“It's not like there haven't been people who borrowed blood pills from us before, or people came to us to ask for blood pills when they were in need.”

　　　“But what he said was nice, and no one who borrowed it could return it.”

"Of course, although this person has a bad reputation, don't offend him. He is petty, just think of it for the sake of Plum Blossom Alley!"

 “That's not true.”

Hu Ma smiled and said, "But I'm just curious, what is the origin of that noble person they are talking about?"

“Since he dares to call you noble, he must be from a noble family.”

 Xu Xiangzhu sneered and sighed: "This noble man has a lot to say..."

“You are from our Blood Food Gang. If you go to the village below, the people in the village will think that you are a noble person, and they will have to set up a good table and serve you.”

"But when you get to the city, there is no such thing as a talking point. Those who are really qualified to be called noble must at least come from a noble family."

 “What is an aristocratic family?”

 “A wealthy family with a hereditary official status is called a noble family!”

"Look at our Red Lantern Club, we also have good relations with many big families, but the people we deal with are all wealthy gentry, landlords, and businessmen. But it is different with the masters of other aristocratic families. They have lived in the city for a long time and only interact with the masters in the hall. It has nothing to do with us."

“To put it bluntly, we are from the world of martial arts, but others are not.”

"Why did our Red Lantern Queen leave the city as soon as the temple was built? She had to avoid suspicion!"

“In the past, everyone was in the city, but if one calls himself a brother in a river or lake, and the other talks about superiority and inferiority behind closed doors, then the water in the well does not interfere with the river. However, after building a temple, it is not appropriate for the Red Lantern Lady to continue to stay in the city.”

 After listening to Xu Xiangzhu's narration, Hu Ma finally understood.

 Aristocratic family, official.

　　At the beginning, Miss Red Wine said that the more capable she is and the broader the world she sees, the more she will see the mysterious and serious side of the world. Now it has come true.

Being in the Blood Food Gang, you can't meet those high-ranking figures, but it turns out that they are not protected by the Blood Food Gang at all. They all deal directly with the hall officials and are protected by the hall officials.

The world is in chaos, and ordinary people are invaded by evil spirits. All they can turn to is the Blood Food Gang, but the officials rarely show up.

 But once a noble man from a noble family is harassed, the officials will not dare to stay idle.

It's no wonder that the uncle of the Wei family ran so fast down Meihua Alley when something happened to him.

 “Damn the privileged class, the big dog owners...”

Hunting secretly in his heart, Hu Ma suddenly developed an instinctive hatred and hostility towards these people. They deserved to be haunted by evil spirits...
