Twilight Boundary: Chapter 107 Return to the village to visit relatives

Chapter 107 Returning to the village to visit relatives

Early in the morning on the third day, Zhou Datong and others got on the hired carriage. The driver was an experienced man and had a lot of experience in traveling around. Otherwise, he would not have dared to take the job of entering Laoyin Mountain.

But even so, this veteran had made an agreement in advance with Hu Ma, a young but generous little boss, that he would only drive during the day and must stop on rainy days and nights. Rest.

There is no need for him to ask this. Hu Ma learned the rules when he came out with the second master.

His understanding of Lao Yinshan is naturally not as good as that of the second master, or even as good as this old master, but it is not wrong to be careful.

It was precisely to avoid trouble on the road that he didn't even bring Qing Tai Sui with him, just for fear of attracting evil spirits.

Such a dusk, gradually penetrating into the boundary of Lao Yin Mountain, all the teenagers have already felt the breath of home.

What I didn’t even expect was that when I passed a forest, I met an acquaintance again.

“Visitors from the past, please show your kindness. The village has been hit by a disaster, and we can’t even survive this new year..."

　　　…”

Looking at the villagers who had picked up hoes, dung forks, sticks and stones, the children in the cart all looked at each other. The old man quickly stopped the old horse pulling the cart and turned to look at Got flax.

This was agreed in advance. When encountering bandits and refugees who were blocking the road and robbing goods, the small boss would come forward. He would just help drive the truck, and he would not care about anything that happened.

“Did the second master cry as soon as he got out of the car?”

Hu Ma thought about what the second master did at that time, and felt a little embarrassed and couldn't cry.

So as soon as he got out of the car, he immediately laughed and raised his hands to the person blocking the road: "Folks, get rich in the New Year!"

"Perhaps you nobles are forgetful. A few months ago, we followed the adults from here. Thanks to your guidance, we avoided evil spirits. I thought I could meet you here, so I made preparations in advance. Some New Year’s goods, come here and help move them!”

　　　…”

With that said, Zhou Datong asked Zhou Datong to take down a bag of brown rice and a piece of pork weighing seven or eight kilograms that he had prepared in advance.

This group of people saw that Hu Ma had a tender face, but they did not have any stage fright when speaking, and they also looked at each other.

When Hu Ma saw it, she grabbed the bag of brown rice with one hand, hooked her tail finger, picked up the piece of pork, walked forward with it held flat, and motioned for them to take it with a smile.

When the leader saw this, his expression suddenly changed slightly, he hurriedly dropped his **** and raised his hands:

 “Okay, okay, thank you folks for remembering…”

　　　…”

He asked the people next to him to take it over, but someone took a look at the car and saw that there were still a lot of cloth and grain in the car, which made them move slightly.

 Come over quietly and whisper in his ear.

But the leader changed his hand and slapped him: "What are you talking about? These are friendly neighbors!"

“We want to celebrate the New Year, but others can’t celebrate it?”

　　　…”

As he said this, he took it gratefully and promised that he would remember Hu Ma and that he would not accept anything when he comes back.

Having passed this level politely, even the veteran driver admired Hu Ma. The group of people entered the forest peacefully, but it became increasingly quieter and quieter, with fewer and fewer people.

To put it bluntly, even if there are roadblocks, they are only near the edge of Laoyin Mountain. Once you enter Laoyin Mountain, the masters of the forest are no longer human beings. Everyone lives carefully and is full of awe.

 Compared with other places, the characteristic of Laoyin Mountain is that there are more evil spirits and fewer man-made disasters.

Of course, Laoyin Mountain is too mysterious and does not have a very good reputation outside. If outsiders come in for the first time, they will definitely be suspicious and uneasy.

 But for the young man who was born in Dayangzhai, this is like returning home, and he feels more and more excited.

After walking for another two days, we arrived in front of Dayang Village. The path covered by weeds was divided into two branches. One could lead directly to the village, while the other could go to the Second Master first. Hu Mahao I chose the latter without hesitation.

It’s finally my time to come back, so of course I’ll meet my relatives first.

All the young men had nothing to say. Thinking of seeing the second master, smiles appeared on their brows.

Squeaking, at noon, I saw the Zhuangzi on Erye's hill from a distance. The carriage drove over and stopped at the foot of the mountain to wait. Hu Ma, Zhou Datong and others jumped out of the carriage and started walking together. Go inside the village.

From a distance, I could hear the second master yelling at people in the village: "Be diligent! Do you understand being diligent? If we don't work hard at this time, how can we make money in the spring?"

“You don’t know about the flax in the village? Doesn’t Zhou Datong know about it?”

"How do you think these two joined the Queen's Association to earn food? When they learn from me, they are the most diligent!"

　　　…”

 “Ouch?”

Hu Ma and Zhou Datong were startled when they heard this.

Facing this unexpected compliment, both of them felt a little guilty...

 “Second Master, are you still busy?”

Feeling guilty, he still stepped forward and opened the ajar door, stood outside the door, and smiled at the second master.

"Eh?"

The second master turned around to look, startled for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and slowly put down the cigarette rod in his hand. When he realized it was indeed the two of them, they were followed by Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu, and Li Wazi looked around, and then his eyes widened:

“My mother, it has only been a few days and you have all been kicked back?”

　　　…”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Hu Ma and others were stunned for a moment, seeing that the second master was like a furious lion, charging up and trying to beat someone.

He hurriedly took a step back, letting Zhou Datong block him in front, and said with a smile: "I wasn't kicked back, I came back to celebrate the New Year." "That's right..."

Zhou Datong couldn't avoid it. He was slapped first, and he shouted and jumped: "Yes, I'm back for the New Year..."

 “I also bought you fine tobacco…”

　　　…”

 “What is the New Year?”

The second master’s temper was unabated, and he cursed loudly: “The Queen’s Association is not a charity organization, so they let you come back to celebrate the New Year just a few days ago? It must be because you guys have not learned well...”

 “It’s true…”

Several people hurriedly went up to persuade him. They even gave the second master the tobacco and pointed to the cart at the bottom of the mountain.

The second master then believed it doubtfully and looked at Hu Ma again: "Little Hu Ma, aren't you guys fooling me?"

"of course not."

Hu Ma smiled and said: "I have to go back after the New Year. I'm waiting on the cabinet!"

 “Ouch, the people in the Empress Club are really good...”

The second master finally turned from anger to joy. Looking at them, he felt that they were stronger than when he sent them there before. He hit this one and hit that one. Sure enough, he saw Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang, and Zhao Zhu. It's so strong that even if you get punched by yourself, it won't be a problem.

So when it came to Li Wazi, with a little force, Li Wazi was beaten far away with a squeak.

 “Why is this kid still softer than before?”

The second master was a little dumbfounded. Hu Ma quickly persuaded him and said that he would come over to see him first before returning to Zhuangzi.

 “Go back, go back now, and I will go back with you.”

The second master, who was overjoyed, sat on the carriage and smoked his filial tobacco, feeling as if he was in a dream.

I quickly arrived in front of the village and saw that it still looked the same, but seemed to be further away from me. The old patriarch was leading his donkey and digging two bags of yams back.

From a distance, I saw the second master sitting on the carriage, as well as Hu Ma, Zhou Datong, and a few baby faces in the village. I was stunned on the spot, blinked a few times, and burst into tears:

 “It’s bad…”

“It’s only been a few days, and all the cubs have been driven back...”

“Thanks to my bag of green food...”

　　　…”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Not only Hu Ma, but also Zhou Datong and others were speechless. The villagers must have been too distrustful of them, right?

Hurrying up the carriage, he jumped out. The second master helped and talked to the old patriarch for a while before he stopped crying.

 “Why were you driven back? We came back to celebrate the New Year.”

“Not only have I not been kicked out, Grandpa, you don’t know, but Brother Mazi is now the steward of the cabinet...”

The old patriarch believed that they were not driven back, but he still didn’t believe it after hearing this:

 “What kind of atmosphere are you boasting about?”

“I’m from Lizi Village next door. I’ve been working in the Queen’s Association for five or six years, but I haven’t even been able to work as a steward…”

　　　…”

 “Is there anyone who doesn’t believe this?”

Zhou Datong shouted: "Brother Mazi, take out your official clothes and show them to my grandpa..."

And when they were chatting at the entrance of the village, the people in the village were already alarmed and gathered around to watch from a distance. Especially the adults from Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu and others' families hurriedly went to the village. Run outside.

　　Seeing that my child had suddenly arrived in front of me, and his body was still strong, I felt so happy that I didn't care about what was being pulled in the car.

Only the people from Li Wazi's family came over in a swarm, and saw that Li Wazi was so thin and frail that they couldn't help but shed tears. When Li Wazi saw his parents, he also burst into tears: "Dad. , Mom, I almost died..."

 When they cried, even the neighbors, as well as the clan leader and the second master, looked over with concern.

Li Wazi cried hard. Those who had not cried in Zhuangzi earlier burst into tears this time.

“I was bullied, fell into a well, and encountered ghosts...”

He cried: "It was Brother Mazi who took off his clothes and went into the well at night, and fished me out from the evil side."

 “Dad, mother, the fire in my stove is not burning...”

"If Brother Mazi hadn't been in charge, arranged for me to do light work, and helped me talk to the counter, I would have been kicked back by the shopkeeper..."

　　　…”

He cried so sadly that he was sobbing and speaking in a very incoherent manner, but people in the village gradually understood what he was saying, and the noisy commotion subsided.

 Everyone looked at Hu Ma openly or covertly, some were pleased, some were filled with emotion, which was quite complicated.

"well…"

There was a sigh from behind. A pair of strong hands patted Hu Ma's shoulders and said, "Well done."

 It is the second master.

I wish you good luck, gentlemen, please give me your votes...
