Twilight Boundary

"Sir, are we almost home?"

After entering Anzhou City, Hu Ma took Xiang Yatou, who had changed into a pair of coarse clothes and had her hair cut like a tomboy, to check into the inn. The two of them relaxed a little.

Nowadays, they treat each other as brothers in front of outsiders. Xiang Yatou pretends to be Hu Ma's mute brother who can't speak. After traveling for several days, his little face has become thinner and dirty. Except for the specially dressed The reason is indeed that the journey is hard.

It’s fun to ride a horse suddenly, but it’s torture to ride for a whole day.

And for several days in a row, I rode on horseback and had to avoid dangers that might come at any time. I was always vigilant, couldn't eat well, and couldn't sleep well. It was like a nightmare.

The flax can hold on because of the Shou Sui's body bones and blood food pills.

And Xiang Yatou didn't complain at all along the way, and kept going without saying a word. Hu Ma was impressed by this perseverance. After all, the towel she left after wiping herself the next day was even stained with blood, and the lining of her thighs was worn. .

However, after several days of hard work, the two finally arrived in Anzhou City.

During this period of time, Xiang Yatou stayed with Hu Ma in farmhouses in the village, or found an ancestral hall, or lived directly in the wilderness. When encountering evil spirits, she just relied on the incense array to hide away.

Now that we are entering the city, it means we are close to home.

"certainly."

Hearing her question, Hu Ma also smiled and said: "When we arrive at Anzhou Fucheng, it's only a day's journey from Lingshou Mansion."

"I can send you home soon."

"..."

"great……"

Xiangya also showed a happy smile on her face, and the haze that had been covering her face all day was reduced a lot.

But she didn't know that Hu Ma actually took her a long way around.

Normally when coming from Mingzhou, you can actually go to Lingzhou Prefecture first, which is a bit closer than Anzhou Prefecture.

But Hu Ma had to get here first to contact the reincarnated organization in Anzhou. However, Xiang Yatou had never left home before and had no intuitive understanding of the topography of the country. She subconsciously felt that if she wanted to go to Lingshou Mansion, it would be a good idea. Must get Anzhou Fucheng.

However, Hu Ma himself felt a little lucky to be able to reach Anzhou City smoothly. Fortunately, after the fierce battle outside Dongchang Mansion City, he made an immediate decision, took Xiang Yatou, packed lightly, and hurried away quickly come over.

If he continued on his way as before, he didn't know how many fights he would encounter.

Even so, he had heart palpitations several times along the way, as if he was almost found by something.

I guess it was the so-called third young master who couldn't wait for the housekeeper to meet him, so he was also anxious and was trying to find him in some way.

Of course, coming to Anzhou City first, in addition to being able to contact the reincarnated organization, also has special benefits, that is, it is a cover for the other party. Two days ago, they passed a major intersection.

If you wanted to go to Lingshou Mansion at that time, you could just walk all the way north. However, as the person who seemed to want to send Xiang Yatou home, he turned east and took a long detour, heading straight towards Anzhou Fucheng. coming.

If the other party blocks him at a certain place he must pass, it will be in vain.

But the closer they get to Lingshou Mansion, the more anxious the other party must be, but they don't know when they will find Anzhou Mansion.

"The opponent's manpower has not cast a wide net. It seems that not many of the Li family dare to take action against Xiang Yatou."

"Perhaps there are resentments against her, and there are many people who are against Shougui Dongzi, but most people don't dare to really go against her. After all, she is a rich lady!"

"..."

Hu Ma also thought secretly in her heart, looking at the dirty little face of the Xiang girl, hurriedly pouring herself tea, and sighed lowly: "What a pitiful little girl, she is clearly a young lady, but she is a little girl." It’s so intolerable that it’s so difficult to even go home!”

"Stop working."

He thought about it and said, "I'll go down and order something to eat. You wipe yourself."

"We won't leave at night today. You should also have a good rest. We will discuss how to send you home tomorrow."

"..."

The fragrant girl nodded vigorously: "I understand, sir."

"...How about I sleep on the floor tonight?"

"..."

"No, you can just sleep on the bed."

Hu Ma said, then walked out, went to the hall below, and ordered a pot of wine, a plate of braised pork, and a plate of salted beans.

During this period, he and Xiang Yatou called themselves brother and sister in front of outsiders, and since they didn't know when they would be in danger, they slept in the same room, with just a bed and a bunk on the floor, all observing etiquette.

After all, Xiang Yatou is a girl and loves to be clean. She is fine for a day or two, but after seven or eight days, she is covered in dust and her body stinks. She can't stand it, so she occasionally wipes her body.

Of course, her legs were bruised and she needed some medicine.

Hu Ma is leaving time for her.

Generally speaking, they are not as good as those who watch the year on the year. The people who watch the year on the year sweat less and are more able to withstand the dust.

While eating in the hall, he listened to the chatter of the people around him. He didn't hear any special news. However, besides listening to the conversations of others, Hu Ma also kept looking outside the door intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that there was nothing unusual. , only slightly relieved.

I didn't experience any fighting along the way, but there was one danger.

The most dangerous thing was the night of the second day. I was watching the fire and staying up patiently, but suddenly I felt a chill.

Looking down, even the fire in front of him turned green.

Hu Ma was startled and hurriedly lit the incense array. She hid in the incense array with the incense girl, not daring to say a word.

I could vaguely hear the sound of chains being dragged by on the road outside.

After walking back and forth several times, they were still not found. Then they slowly disappeared and the fire became normal.

Xiang Yatou's little face had turned pale at that time, and she whispered: "That's..."

"There's something looking for me."

"..."

Hu Ma also raised her mind at that time, and she was even more careful on the road ahead.

As expected, we encountered him twice more in the middle, but we carefully avoided them.

Fortunately, it was easy for the two of them to hide, and since they changed their route midway and were far away from each other, they didn't meet each other again in the past three days.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Hu Ma slowly finished what he ordered and asked the waiter to cook a large bowl of noodles with braised pork on top before going upstairs.

At this time, Xiang girl had finished wiping her body, and even washed the towel she used to wipe her body, and put it aside to dry. Earlier, Hu Ma saw blood on the cloth on her body and asked her about it. She was obviously just concerned, but she was also ashamed. Blushing.

He saw that she had made the bed well, but he was fully clothed and huddled on a chair in the room.

Hu Ma then put the food on the table and said, "Don't you sleep on the bed?"

"Master, please sleep on the bed today!"

Xiang Yatou whispered: "Young Master has been letting me go these days, but I know you are also very tired."

"I can hold on at least. Just take a good rest. Don't just send you back. You are tired and sick. How should I explain it?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was depressing, Hu Ma smiled and said, "Come here to eat, and then go to bed after eating."

The sweet girl nodded obediently, came over and sat at the table to eat.

As she ate, tears fell into the bowl after a few mouthfuls. She wiped them with the back of her hand and continued eating.

"It's not easy for a little girl either."

Hu Ma saw it, but she just pretended that she couldn't see it. She just sat silently by the wall, practicing the exercises and cultivating her seven orifices.

Although he was careful along the way, Xiang Yatou did not dare to be careless at all. She was as frightened as a bird.

She must have been sold once, and even the housekeeper who had taken care of her since childhood wanted to harm him. Her relatives in the Li family did not want her to go back, which was a heavy blow to her.

Of course she wanted to go home, but she really felt that her family members were not as reliable as Hu Ma.

After Xiang Yatou finished eating the noodles, Hu Ma still let her lie down on the bed, while he silently performed the exercises. Gradually, his body relaxed and he entered the natal temple.

"Finally I can call the reincarnated person..."

Thinking of this, I felt a little excited.

The closer they get to Lingshou Mansion, the more aggressive the girl from the Li family will be to avoid going home, and the invisible danger will become more severe.

But because I can contact the reincarnated person, I feel more at ease.

I just hope that I can find someone successfully.

Slowly stepping forward, facing the deep darkness, with only the five internal organs and limbs lit up, Hu Ma took a deep breath, gently raised his hand, pressed it on the wall of the incense burner above the incense table, concentrated slightly, and then In a low voice, he said to the incense burner:

"The codename Lao Baigan is calling in Anzhou Fucheng. Is there anyone who has been reincarnated to hear it?"

"..."

I called three times in a row, but there was still no movement, and a flax stick hung up.

"No way?"

If the reincarnated person cannot be contacted, he will have to deal with the Li family's affairs on his own...

But just when he called out for the fourth time with some worry, the aroma from the stove suddenly spread out.

Immediately, a lazy voice rang: "No."

"?"

Hu Ma was stunned for a moment, no one heard, so what the hell are you?

While hesitating, he heard the voice say: "Code name Lao Baigan? That's a good name. Why didn't I think of it at the time? I wonder if it's too late to use it now..."

"...Brother, where are you from?"

"Those who pass by Anzhou Prefecture still want to put down roots here, or do they want to work hard?"

"If you want to take root, forget it. If you want to work, don't come here. There is not enough food for the monks here. We haven't had anything to eat for several days."

"..."

"?"

Hu Ma couldn't help but be confused again: "Why is this reincarnation of Anzhou Fucheng painted in this style?"

He was silent for a moment, then tentatively said, "I'm looking for someone with the code name Red Wine."

"Do you know each other, brothers?"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the other party's attitude obviously changed. The voice suddenly disappeared, and the atmosphere seemed a bit quiet. After a long time, the other party finally said tentatively: "Before I answer..."

"...Brother, you didn't come to her for help because you were desperate, right?"

"..."

Hu Ma was stunned: "Huh?"
