Twilight Boundary

When his name was mentioned, Hu Ma had to come out.

When I arrived at the entrance of Zhuangzi, I was slightly surprised. There were actually quite a few people coming from the city. There were three or five stewards, and they were also followed by several Hongxiang disciples. Not only did they ride their own horses, but they also held some hands. match.

I was startled in my heart, and then I realized that I didn't plan to stay in the village overnight, but had to rush back to the city overnight to present it to the Red Lantern Empress.

Their village is only two hours away from the city by horseback. If we set off now, it will probably be dark when we get to the city.

Normally, for the sake of safety, I would not rush like this, but with a lot of manpower prepared, taking this risk is not a big problem.

"It's all brothers Yang Gong and their bravery. I just fulfilled my responsibilities on the counter and took care of them."

When they came outside Zhuangzi and met with the stewards from the city, Hu Ma spoke in a very low-key manner.

It's up to you whether you want the credit or not. In this case, there is no need to speak too high-profile.

"Haha, after bringing back such a batch of blood food, don't be humble anymore."

Someone immediately smiled and said, it was Manager Xu who was familiar with Hu Ma. He sent Hu Ma to the village, which means he promoted him. In addition, he now has a good relationship with the second master in the village. , now he also regards himself as the elder Hu Ma.

At this time, Leng Buding saw that Hu Ma had made such a great contribution, his eyes widened with a smile, and he said: "I really knew you were good, but I didn't expect you to be so promising."

"Today we have to go back to the city early so that I won't worry about you. Come back and talk to you properly!"

"..."

Everyone knew the stakes, so they hurriedly dismounted and made room for two good horses, allowing Yang Gong and Shen Bangzi to sit on them. The others protected the two people, especially Yang Gong, who was carrying the blood food, in the middle. He nodded towards Hu Ma.

With a whistle, the horses raised their hooves and rushed towards the city.

Hu Ma watched them walk away and felt relieved. Although this batch of blood food also had its share of credit, seeing the blood food being taken away didn't make her feel like she had lost something.

Oh, if only...

...No, no, you can't think like that.

This batch of blood food was certainly valuable, but it was not bad in exchange for Yang Gong's friendship and this contribution.

Since I have too many secrets in my body, I need a place where I can make the decisions to facilitate my practice, so I still take the position of shopkeeper very seriously.

Earlier, because his qualifications were too low, even if the shopkeeper was willing to recommend him, there was no chance. Now, there may be some hope.

"The merit of protecting the red lantern years ago and the merit of helping to recover the blood food should be worth the shortcomings of my junior qualifications, right?"

Thinking silently in his heart, he turned around and returned to Zhuangzi.

Such a big thing just happened, and several big shots in the city came, but the guys in the village were a little absent-minded. They were crowding next to their small rooms, craning their heads and looking inside. He was breathing heavily, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

"Let's go, let's go..."

Zhou Datong's driving voice soon sounded inside again: "Don't stand here, and don't look..."

"This is our brother Mazi's mistress. If you take one more look, we will all suffer..."

"..."

"What is this all about?"

Hu Ma is so angry and funny, I have to talk about Zhou Datong when I have time.

He is obviously a young boy with unexploded yang, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he is full of obscene words...

Of course, if this matter is at the top of the list, it is still the second master’s fault.

Zhou Datong waited for a long time, but no one actually moved, but when they saw Hu Ma coming, the guys hurriedly moved out of the way and pretended to be busy with other things.

Hu Ma came to her house, kicked Zhou Datong out, and then looked at the yellow-haired girl who was placed on her kang. She hadn't changed her clothes yet, but she had already done it, and she was falling asleep. .

Hu Ma stood in front of the bed, looked her over and said, "Now that you're awake, don't lie down."

The Shou Sui is sensitive to anger, and it is clear at a glance whether she is awake or asleep.

But after hearing this sentence, the other party still closed his eyes tightly, but his thin body was trembling slightly.

Hu Ma frowned and said: "I just rescued you from the water casually. After all, it's a human life, so I don't ask you for anything in return. My village is full of men. It's not convenient for you to be a little girl. Get up early and go home!"

With that said, he turned around and left the house.

But suddenly, as soon as he turned around, he heard a crash behind him.

But it was the yellow-haired girl on the bed who suddenly slipped off the bed after listening to Hu Ma's words, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Kind young master, please, please don't send me away..."

"..."

"What do you mean by chasing you away?"

Hu Ma looked at her scared look and said, "Where are you from? What's your name? Are you from Niujiawan?"

"My... my surname is Li, my name is Xiangyu, my home... my home is in Dashuiya..."

The yellow-haired girl started to tremble even more when she heard what Hu Ma said seriously: "When I followed the housekeeper to watch the lanterns, I met my godmother. My godmother said that my family doesn't want me anymore and wants to take me to see the flowers. She took me He walked a long way with me and taught me the rules."

"She said, whoever buys me should be respected by me. If I see a good-looking one, I will call him Young Master. If I see a good-looking one, I will call him Young Master. If...if someone wants my body..."

"...just call me Xianggong."

"..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hu Ma secretly, as if to make sure he was calling her correctly, and kowtowed hurriedly: "Master, don't chase me away. I have learned to cook, sew clothes, and clean the courtyard..."

"Did you meet your godmother while watching the lanterns?"

Hu Ma frowned as she listened, vaguely understanding that this was probably a kidnapped girl.

When I asked her carefully where her home was, I found that she was confused. She only remembered the big stone cliff, but the specific state and county could not be explained clearly. I did not know whether it was a long time since she was abducted, or whether she had been possessed by something in the middle. Spells.

So he thought for a moment and then said: "You don't need to call me husband, let alone young master."

"I won't push you away, but I can't keep you living in Zhuangzi either. Let's go find a place for you outside first, and then ask someone to inquire about the place of Dashuiya. If we can find your family, we'll find someone." Send a message and come and take you back."

After hearing this, the yellow-haired girl was overjoyed and kowtowed with gratitude.

Hu Ma also sighed in her heart, the most she could do was this.

It would be outrageous to just kick her out. In this world, a grown man can't make a living if he walks out alone, let alone an immature girl?

Miss White Wine said that this is a troubled, evil, and evil world, and situations like hers are actually not uncommon.

Even, very common.

I don't have a good heart, so I just pretend not to know if some bad things don't happen in front of my eyes.

But after all, I am not so indifferent that I can see these pitiful things happening in front of my eyes, but still pretend not to see them.

But he really had no intention of keeping this person by his side. Although he was still a boy and had not known the taste of meat for a long time, he was not so greedy that he always wanted to pick up a girl to warm his bed.

Especially for someone whose identity is questionable and who doesn’t know the truth, isn’t it asking for trouble if he stays by his side?

To say the least, if you are really greedy, then prepare a few taels of silver and go to the dental shop to pick out whatever you want.

After all, in troubled times, human life is worthless, and this yellow-haired girl is not as valuable as a sheep.

It's better to treat it as a good deed, find out more about it, and send her back.

After taking her out of the house, all the waiters outside had their eyes fixed. She lowered her head and trembled, not daring to look at anyone until Hu Ma led her out of the village and into a wine shop in the town. .

Hu Ma said to the shopkeeper of the wine shop: "I have a relative in the village. He wants to work for a big family in the city. Since I don't have a place to stay in the village, I will put him here first."

"There is some money here. You can arrange some meals for her every day and find your wife's clothes for her to change into."

"..."

During this period of time, Hu Ma has been drinking at his place. In addition, the young stewards from the Red Lantern Lady's Association are all capable people in the surrounding towns and villages. There is no one among the shopkeepers who would not agree. So he asked his wife to come out to get him, and he didn't even need any money.

But the flax was still given to him, and he ordered the yellow-haired girl to stay here for a while, keep quiet, and think more about her own family.

As soon as he agreed, he grabbed two kilograms of wine and returned to the village.

It was certainly a great achievement for him to assist Yang Gong this time. It was also hard work for Zhou Datong to lead people out to assist him.

No matter what, he must be rewarded with a good meal.

Back in the village, the guys looked disappointed when they saw Hu Ma coming back.

"I held it in too hard..."

Seeing them like this, Hu Ma couldn't help but smile to herself: "It's not easy!"

It's no wonder that those who learned their skills from the second master, if they don't learn the skills of the old man, they can only work for a few years at most.

We still have to find a way for them as soon as possible, otherwise, we will no longer be able to raise sheep in our village.

"Zhou Datong and the others might consider trying to learn the techniques of this year-watching man."

After returning to the room, he thought about it silently: "But if the other guys can't hold it in anymore, they still have to go into the alley. As long as the blood food in the Red Lantern Lady's Association supports them, they will be ruined. Then I can still use the body-handle posture and do the work."

"But in this way, what is the essential difference between it and a human candle?"

"..."

Sighing silently, he didn't think much about it. It was good if he could take care of himself. At most, he could think about it for Zhou Datong and the others.

For other guys, entering the Red Light Club is their fate.

Three or five days passed like this, but nothing else happened. The confirmation letter from the city had not yet arrived, but the old servant in the inner courtyard suddenly came out, went to the town to buy a table of wine and food, and then came out to ask Hu Ma. road:

"Young Master, I am waiting for you inside and want to treat you to a drink..."

"Why did you forget to drink?"

Hu Ma thought of something, got up hurriedly, entered the inner courtyard, and saw the old shopkeeper and sister Wu He sitting at the table, with a table full of wine and food in front of them.

The old shopkeeper looked tired and sighed and said to Hu Ma, "We are leaving now!"
