Twilight Boundary

Although what Hu Ma said was bizarre and the more he heard it, the more scary he became, Mr. Zhao looked at each other and agreed with a heartless heart.

As time goes on, if the drought in the village continues like this, there will really be a famine...

Not only did they agree, but when they saw that Hu Ma was not as foolhardy as the previous master, but had actually been looking for him for a whole day, they also had some confidence in him, and they agreed heartily. Zhou Datong said five hundred Of course we can't, we can't afford it, but if the matter is done, the two hundred taels of gold that a few villages will come together to let the merchants go out to publicize will be given to them.

"If this is the case, then I will have to give up my capital..."

Hu Ma thought to herself, so she returned to the village first and gave detailed instructions to the people in the village what they should do.

Not only that, but Mr. Zhao was also asked to organize manpower to check house to house. Those who have livestock should raise them. Those who don’t have livestock should borrow two from the neighbor’s house to raise them. In short, besides people, there must be other things to do at home. things.

The lime at the door must be sprinkled evenly, the door must be repaired, and the threshold should be as high as possible.

If the threshold of your home is really shabby, then cut a thick branch, with the top of a person's knees as the standard, and place it across the front door of your house.

After being busy and doing all this, it was already evening. Hu Ma asked Mr. Zhao and others to rest. He took Zhou Datong and several other guys outside. First, he asked Mr. Zhao to collect chickens from the village. The duck was killed and a bucket full of blood was collected.

Then he was cruel and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, which contained a blood food pill.

This blood food pill was a gift given by the Red Lantern Society before, and it was something that could see light.

Even though this small one is worth three taels of gold, if converted into silver taels, it would be thirty taels.

By using this method, I also spent a lot of money.

Hu Ma did some mental preparation before pouring the blood food pill into his hand. He only smelled a burst of blood. He looked at the size of the longan, tender and juicy. The blood floated ten miles down the wind, and it was under the eaves not far away. Xiao Hongtang suddenly stuck his head out.

"Little Hongtang, come here..."

Hu Ma waved to Xiao Hongtang, who immediately ran over obediently.

Hu Ma first squeezed the juice out of the blood food pill into the blood bucket, and then gave the remaining meat to Xiao Hongtang.

In order to solve the drought in this village, I used the juice from a blood food pill... wasn't that a big investment?

Seeing Xiao Hongtang's excited eyes curling up, Hu Ma was also in a good mood.

"Eat it!"

It doesn’t feel bad to feed Xiao Hongtang. From now on, I will have to rely on her for my flying sword skill!

After doing this, Hu Ma asked Zhou Datong to bring over a bottle of wine.

This was also rewarded at the Red Lantern Festival before. It was a bottle of blood wine, which also had the smell of Tai Sui. Moreover, it was brewed into the wine, making the blood stronger and stronger. He poured half of the bottle directly into it and asked Zhou Datong to seal the mouth. , put away the rest.

After doing this, he ordered people to spread the blood around the village while it was still dark.

The guys didn't quite understand, but they listened anyway, each got a bucket, went to sprinkle it quickly, and ran back after finishing it.

After finishing all this work, it was already completely dark, and Hu Ma and the others returned to Mr. Zhao's house.

As usual, Mr. Zhao set up another table, and there was still wine and food, but it was not as relaxed as the previous night. Everyone, including Zhou Datong and others, felt heavy and did not dare to eat loudly.

In the entire village, no one dared to go out, and no one dared to light the lights. As soon as it got dark, the family members were urged to go to sleep.

"Woo..."

I don’t know how long it took, but outside the village, waves of dark wind blew past, accompanied by howling ghosts and wolves.

Mr. Zhao didn't sleep either. He stayed by Hu Ma's side and turned pale as he listened.

"It's okay, it will subside after a while."

But Hu Ma shook her head at him and signaled him to continue drinking and not to worry. The blood she had people spill in the village was all good stuff and would definitely attract some evil spirits.

But I only sprinkled it outside the village, and there weren't many things, so the smell would dissipate quickly. Those things that were attracted would not enter the village, but would just wander around for a while and then go home.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, it became quiet again outside the village.

It can even be said that the silence is abnormal, and there is a dead silence. Even the mules, horses and livestock in the village do not make any movement.

"It should be soon."

Hu Ma waited silently, and it was almost midnight. Everyone was already a little tired of eating, so they just patiently stayed with Hu Ma here.

"My mother-in-law is here..."

But just when they all felt tired and drowsy, they suddenly heard a frightening scream, not far from the Zhao family's house.

In the silent night, this voice was frightening and frightening, with a cry in it, which made everyone in the room feel trembling in their hearts.

"Uh-huh!"

Zhou Datong and others all trembled, jumped up, and drew the knife in their hands.

Mr. Zhao, who was trying to stay awake, was so frightened that he almost fell over. His face was as white as paper, and he looked at Hu Ma tremblingly.

Different from the ghostly cries and howls just now, this cry was clearly made by someone, and the sinister wind gusts just now sounded far away, just outside the village.

Now this shout was made by people in the village, as if they were just a few houses away from here.

In the air, the temperature had dropped at some point, and there was a layer of grease in the vegetables. The oil lamp on the table, although there was no wind, gradually shrank, leaving only a pea-sized piece.

Spike-like hairs grew on everyone's arms, and no one dared to gasp loudly.

"Don't panic, keep drinking."

But Hu Ma only whispered: "Wait until dawn, then we will understand."

Hearing that there was no need to go out, Zhou Datong and others looked at each other and were slightly relieved, but no one dared to be careless, and they had no intention of eating or drinking. They just struggled. Finally, at the fourth watch, a cockcrow sounded in the distance, and Hu Ma stood up. , said: "Let's go!"

Everyone who had not slept all night hurriedly cheered up and lit lanterns before dawn.

Even Mr. Zhao forced himself to follow him, and together they looked for the place where the screams sounded last night.

On the way, when I saw them coming out, the door would open from time to time, and they would mix in with the crowd. It seemed that not many people in the village had slept well yesterday, and they were all listening to the noise. As soon as Huma and the others came out, they followed Come and help.

Gradually, dozens of strong laborers gathered together, and when they arrived at the west end of the village, they heard someone inside trembling and crying, with shock and fear.

"Spread out and wait outside. Don't step on the lime at the door."

Hu Ma reminded everyone loudly, jumped over the lime, and looked inside.

At this time, it was discovered that a sheep in this family had died. The whole sheep head was almost torn off, the belly was opened, half of the liver and intestines inside were missing, and traces of claws and teeth could be seen. .

A rather pretty woman hugged her child and huddled in the door crying.

The man in his family was holding a hoe in his hand and his body was trembling. When he saw the door open, he rushed towards it:

"Except for you..."

"..."

"Get it right before you take action."

Hu Ma reached out to catch the hoe, snatched it from his hand, frowned and said, "Is that business coming at night?"

"Come...come..."

The man was anxious not to distinguish people, but when Hu Ma glared at him, he flinched and said in a trembling voice: "It's so... so scary..."

"It had white hair on its body, its eyes... its eyes were like red eggs, it walked... it couldn't walk, it just jumped. After it came in, it bit... the sheep to death..."

"Before he left, he kowtowed to the house... I was really scared, afraid that it would break in..."

"..."

"Found it."

Hearing this, Hu Ma breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and waved her hand.

Once you're sure it's that thing, you've earned your money.

This drought monster is a buried corpse. Due to bad feng shui or resentment, it has changed. Once it starts to grow, there will be a severe drought around it, but this is just not a climate yet. Once it becomes a climate, this thing will Will break out of the ground.

When it comes out, it will first hurt its enemies and creditors. It will be the first to go to the home of someone close to it. It will eat the family's livestock on the first night, and it will eat people on the second night.

I used blood energy induction just to activate its ferocity and make it break ground in advance.

Because it does not hurt people on the first night, as long as there are livestock at home, people will be fine. If you see whose livestock dies this night, you will know whose family someone is in trouble. Follow them to find him. , you can find the grave.

Moreover, to ensure safety, they were asked to sprinkle lime at the door of each house.

Wait until dawn, follow the traces of lime, find the place where it was buried, dig it out, and dry it in the sun, and it will be fine.

…

Unexpectedly, just when Hu Ma was relieved, the neighbors who came outside were already talking about each other: "Is this the Lao Wei family? No, the Lao Wei family hasn't buried anyone in recent years? He Didn’t my parents die more than ten years ago?”

"Um?"

Listening to their discussion, Hu Ma felt strange in her heart. Suddenly she turned around and saw the man's eyes flickering. When he saw her turning towards him, he lowered his head.

He secretly thought something was wrong, looked towards the door, and suddenly became angry.

When I first came here, it was still dawn, so I couldn't see clearly. Now that it's getting brighter, I can see clearly.

The door of this family's house is broken. It seems that the door was not opened yesterday as I said.

What's more important is that I told him to sprinkle lime on the door last night so as to leave the footprints of that thing. But now when I look over, I can only see that the door has been swept clean. There is no trace of lime anywhere. ?

If there was no lime, how could he follow the traces to find that thing?

Vaguely guessing something, he frowned and looked at the man: "Where's the lime I asked you to sprinkle?"

"ah……"

The man was startled for a moment and shook his head repeatedly: "It's right at the door. Maybe... maybe it was blown away by the wind?"

"hehe……"

Hu Ma smiled but said nothing.

Whose wind is so strong that it blows a layer of lime as if it has been blown?

I knew there was a problem in my heart, but this was not my own village. I came here to get rid of the evil spirits, but I didn't care about other people's affairs, so I just looked at Mr. Zhao with a smile and said:

"I have already taken care of the matter, but the people in your village did not listen to my advice. Now that the matter has been delayed, what are you going to do with it?"

Please vote. I'll stay for a while.
