Twilight Boundary

"Buy or sell?"

Hearing this, Hu Ma was startled: "What kind of deal?"

Only then did I understand that this old man had other purposes for being so diligent in educating me.

"It's bigger than the work in this village."

The old man smiled and said: "Because my boss doesn't agree, I can't tell you too carefully now, but what I can let you know is that our boss has found several people to do this, and they are all capable. We are at least 70% sure of the matter."

"If this job is done, it won't be worth a few hundred taels of silver. We can at least get this amount."

"..."

As he spoke, he made the character "一".

Hu Ma was slightly startled: "One thousand taels?"

The old man smiled mysteriously and nodded.

Hu Ma's expression suddenly became tangled.

But this tangle was just for the old man to see, but he suddenly made a decision in his heart: "I can't do this job."

The world is dangerous, and I can talk to this old man okay. He seems to be a capable person, but people are far away from each other. Who knows what the other person is planning?

There are not many jobs worth a thousand taels in this world. In fact, for the job of burning droughts in this village, they were only willing to give two hundred taels at first. Due to the difficulty of the job, I asked for an extra one hundred taels. This is already a rare encounter. It's a great life.

Money is hard to make, even for people in the community.

For someone like the old shopkeeper who would be supported by the Red Lantern Lady, after being a shopkeeper for so many years, he could only save a house in Mingzhou Prefecture and only have two to three hundred taels of silver on hand.

No matter how lucky you are, how can you make a few hundred taels when you first come out, and then turn around and make a thousand taels easily?

Now of course I am short of money. Whether it is walking around after returning to the city or buying the items that are missing from the teachings in the town year book, I need money. I even want to buy a yard in the town around Zhuangzi to hide things in the future. What a convenience.

Yes, there are oil lamps...

As soon as the old shopkeeper left, he was the only one keeping track of the year in this village. If something happened in the future, he wouldn't even have a reliable helper.

I still have to teach Zhou Datong and the others something.

But if you want to teach them, it's not just a matter of talking. The first one is the oil lamp.

Every oil lamp is prepared with various secret medicines, some of which are precious and require a lot of effort and money to prepare.

Before, under the nose of the shopkeeper, I had to waste my hands and feet on the oil lamp, but if I want to teach them some skills, I need to start with this simple hand and foot skills.

The money alone for this oil lamp is not a small amount.

Counting over and over again, I felt that the pressure on me was even greater. I didn't feel it if I didn't consider the money earlier. Now that I think about it, I find that it is needed everywhere and there are holes everywhere.

Throwing hundreds of taels of silver in, I'm afraid there will be no splash.

But then again, if you are short of money, you will be short of money, so what kind of work will you get...

So, although there was a tangled expression on his face, he just sighed in the end and said, "Thank you very much in advance, Mr. Sir, for taking care of me, but I still won't earn this money."

"We are Xiaofu Ji'an. Before we came out, my master also told me that it is enough to practice and practice, and we must not be greedy. So, after I finish the things in this village, I plan to take my brothers back..."

"It's a long way to go, let's meet again when we have the chance!"

"..."

"What I'm saying is that this job does have some risks. Even if I say there are no risks, you may not believe it."

When the old man heard this, he didn't force it. He just smiled and said, "Then we really depend on fate. We'll see when we meet again."

After saying that, he didn't stay to eat the noodles. Instead, he made an earthenware jar, poured the fat chicken and stewed meat on the banquet into the earthenware jar, added two big steamed buns, brought his own monkey, and swaggered. And go.

"Brother Mazi, this old man is so mysterious. What does he do?"

Seeing that the old man was able to talk to Hu Ma, the people in the village naturally did not dare to stop him. Zhou Datong and others also had eyes on him, so they did not interrupt randomly when the old man was there. After he had gone far, they asked carefully.

But Hu Ma actually couldn't see it. This old man was definitely not a year-old man, his energy and blood had long since declined, and he was not like a wandering ghost, and he didn't have that yin energy in his body.

I can only say that my experience is still shallow and I can’t tell others’ details.

He immediately sat down to eat. After finishing his work, he packed his luggage, finally took his horse back, and was ready to leave.

Now everything in the village has been dealt with. Mr. Zhao also wrote a note and stamped it, confirming that Hu Ma helped the village deal with the money. It was pure and clean, so as not to Officials from all over the country made inquiries.

Of course, this is an old rule, but it doesn’t really work.

Now that the world is in chaos, no one cares where the money comes from. If you have the ability, you can keep it. If you don't, you will be robbed.

But although he was careful, Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu and others were all very nervous. This was a heavy amount of hundreds of taels of silver. It was heavy to hold in his hand, and it was such a big burden to hold in his arms. A little bit of a suspicious feeling.

I just hope that when I return to Zhuangzi, I can find an urn to put the money in and bury it.

"This is not enough..."

Seeing how careful they were, Hu Ma thought secretly.

Although I declined the old man's invitation, I knew in my heart that the gap was still wide.

But how can there be so many money-making jobs, especially stable ones?

"Find a rich family to fuck him?"

This thought flashed through my mind, but it was just a joke to myself: "We are good citizens!"

The most that can be done is to find out where the money is and ask Xiao Hongtang to dig out some...

...After all, I heard from Yang Gong that some of the little angels can burn incense and some can move money. Although my little Hongtang already has a flying sword skill, it is not impossible to cultivate other talents.

…

Thinking about this problem, I was not in a hurry to return to Zhuangzi. I first found a hotel to stay in the surrounding area.

It's wet outside and it's inconvenient to walk. It would be better to wait until the rain stops.

Not long after falling asleep at night, Hu Ma was silently cultivating his liver, but unexpectedly, he heard a long-lost voice:

"White wine is calling Lao Baigan. If you can hear me, please call me back."

"..."

"Miss White Wine?"

Hearing this voice, Hu Ma was really surprised and said hurriedly: "I can hear it."

"……how did you find me?"

"..."

I heard from Erguotou earlier that Miss Baijiu had been staying in Mingzhou City, but now she had been running away for several days and was already hundreds of miles away.

The calls of reincarnated persons are all limited in scope. Now I have exceeded this limit early, so I have no way to find Erguotou to inquire about the progress of the Red Lantern Lady Club. But why can Miss White Wine call me?

"My Taoist practice is higher than both yours and Erguotou's, and my range is naturally further than yours."

Miss White Wine's voice seemed plain and natural, but there was a little bit of pride that was invisible but real.

"Is she so powerful?"

Hu Ma was a little surprised. No wonder Erguotou thought of her when he asked for help when planning the batch of blood food.

However, Daoxing is not limited to three pillars, that is, below three pillars, everyone is almost at the same level, but she is so much better than others. Could it be that her Daoxing has exceeded three pillars?

Just as I was thinking about it, Baijiu's voice sounded again: "I heard from Erguotou that you ran outside to avoid trouble?"

"..."

"yes."

Hu Ma glanced at the connection of her life fragrance and answered honestly, "If he hadn't reminded me, I would have almost fallen into another trap."

"Isn't this the meaning of the reincarnated person's existence?"

Miss White Wine said: "It's not like we have to fight to the death for everything. These casual reminders and some harmless reminders are enough for us to make friends."

"However, you don't have to worry. The time and number of people for the battle between the Red Lantern Lady and the Tsing Yi Gang's evil spirits have been set so that you can know that you did the right thing by hiding out. Red Lantern Lady There were 17 branches in the meeting, and ten shopkeepers were selected to go into battle."

"Except for the older ones, the senior ones, or the old shopkeepers who have made great achievements, no one else has run away."

"..."

"Is it really going to start?"

Hu Ma was overjoyed for a moment and said hurriedly: "Is there a timetable?"

"The fifth day of next month."

Baijiu said calmly: "Whether you, the Red Lantern Empress, can still stay in Mingzhou Mansion to dominate, or even whether you can go one step further, depends on whether she can win this battle."

"The Red Lantern Empress is already the only harm to Mingzhou Prefecture, how can she go further?"

Hu Ma thought to herself, silently calculating the time, and found that it was about to start in just a few days.

"Of course, I'm not here to send you a message for Erguotou."

At this time, Miss White Wine said: "I want to ask you, now that the city has come out, do you want to find someone to cooperate with and make a fortune?"

"Um?"

When Hu Ma heard this, she was surprised. Did she come to him to introduce her to the business?

This is unfortunate, I came out this time just to make money.

"Also a reincarnator."

Miss White Wine said: "He has something important to do, but he doesn't feel at ease looking for people in the world. He has to find reincarnations to feel at ease."

"I have worked with him before, and he is quite reliable, but his job is too small, and I don't like it. Besides, the distance is not close, and I am too lazy to run so far, so I thought of you."

Hu Ma was a little curious: "What kind of job?"

Miss White Wine said: "I didn't plan to take this job, so I didn't ask too carefully, but he is a Holder of Treasures, so this job may be related to Holder of Treasures."

"If you are interested, rush to Wutong Town near Shanyin City within three days. Go to sleep at midnight and wait. He will call at that time. Just say that it was introduced by Miss White Wine, and then The letter can be obtained."

"..."

Hu Ma wrote them down one by one, feeling slightly excited, and said, "How much money can I make if I do this job?"

"It's not blood food. I'm too lazy to ask."

Miss Baijiu thought for a moment and smiled: "But those treasure-holding people are extremely rich. I think he should be able to get a few thousand taels of silver, right?"

Hu Ma felt relieved immediately after hearing this.
