Twilight Boundary

Chapter 224 The Ghost Cave Family

"Why……"

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts was shocked when he heard this. When he saw the young lady talking, she was about to hug the cat and go back upstairs, so she hurriedly followed her in small steps.

I felt a little helpless for a moment. The children in this village were so good at beating snakes and following sticks. Back in Laoyin Mountain, it was because of his words that the hostess put all her important matters aside and accompanied him to find him. Mother-in-law went.

Now, because of his words, he allowed himself to treat people.

The identities of these two people are obviously very different, one is in the sky and the other is in the mud, but why are they so close to each other?

It's just that the hostess is generous and casually asks me to help when she sees that she knows him, but she actually doesn't understand the situation yet...

He whispered to her a few times, and then looked back at Xiang Yatou. Miss Baijiu was slightly startled when she heard this, frowned and said: "Is it so troublesome? It is your duty to save people, but it is also right not to hold grudges. "

"Ask clearly, please help me again!"

"..."

"Then you still want to help?"

Shopkeeper Wugui understood what the young lady meant and could only agree first. He just sighed helplessly and turned around with a smile on his face.

After all, the young lady still wants to save face. Normally, Cao Xintang would not directly ask about such matters that obviously involve grudges.

"Little brother, our boss has spoken, so we can only listen to this matter."

He came back and sat down next to Xiang Yatou. He smiled helplessly at Hu Ma and said, "But what is the origin of this patient you brought and how did he become like this? You guys have to take good care of it." Talk about it."

"Otherwise, even if we want to help you see it, we won't be able to see it..."

"..."

"yes."

Huma nodded in agreement, then looked to the side.

The housekeeper of Xiang girl's house was already anxious and didn't know what to say. It was only then that Hu Ma said to him: "You have been so secretive just now, and I didn't ask you directly. Now you have heard what the old shopkeeper said." , are you still unwilling to say anything?"

"I……"

The old housekeeper was full of eagerness, and when he met the looks in the eyes of Hu Ma and Five Ghost Shopkeepers, he finally couldn't hold back anymore, but he seemed to feel that there were too many people around him, and he had a tangled look on his face.

Shopkeeper Caoxintang Five Ghosts looked at it, and he was quite impatient. He waved his hand and asked the guys around him to go down. Zhou Datong was a good observer, so he also took the other guys down. Now, there was only Hu Ma, the old housekeeper, and the five ghost shopkeepers were left.

But the old housekeeper was still a little hesitant, as if he was hindered by Hu Ma's presence.

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts was obviously a little angry, and said calmly: "The old gentleman is really a big deal, otherwise you should stop talking and take the people away by yourself!"

"Yes, yes, it's my fault..."

The old housekeeper started to sweat a little on his forehead. He apologized hurriedly, bowed his head to Hu Ma, and then said to Shopkeeper Five Ghosts, "Old sir, I'll tell you the truth, my young lady..."

"She is the daughter of the Li family who guards the ghost cave in Lingshou Mansion..."

"..."

After hearing this, Hu Ma and Five Ghost Shopkeepers' expressions changed slightly.

Shopkeeper Wu Gui seemed a little surprised, and quickly looked down at Xiang Yatou. He shrank back slightly, looking thoughtful.

"The one who guards the ghost cave?"

Hu Ma was slightly startled, thinking: "What are you doing? It's really not Wuchang Li..."

Although I thought it was unbelievable at first to suddenly pick up someone from the Wuchang Li family, I was also thinking, what if it was true? Will he make a lot of money?

Now that I heard something wrong, I felt a little disappointed, as if I had lost something...

"The Li family of Lingshou Mansion?"

The Five Ghosts shopkeeper also frowned slightly, then looked at the old housekeeper and said, "So what?"

"ah?"

The old housekeeper has been secretive and refused to tell the identity of this fragrant girl. Even if he wanted to say it, he just wanted to tell it secretly to the commander of Caoxin Hall. Now that he has revealed it, he did not expect that she is actually like this. Wait for reaction.

His expression suddenly became a little panicked.

"I know this place. It's a big family in Anzhou Prefecture, and it's also well-known in the world."

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts said to the old housekeeper: "But this old man, you announced this name out of the blue, which made us Cao Xin Tang embarrassed."

"The Li family of Guidongzi has no grudges or entanglements with our Cao Xin Tang. If your disease complies with the rules of our Cao Xin Tang, we will treat it even for ordinary people. If it goes against the rules, then you will not treat it." So that we can be forced to treat people, right?"

"If you are so capable, you can heal people yourself, so why come to us?"

"..."

After saying a few words, the old housekeeper felt embarrassed for a moment. Cao Xintang's reaction was very different from what he thought.

"I don't know what the Li family is in Guidongzi."

At this time, Hu Ma spoke directly and said: "But this girl was picked up from the river by me. She was kidnapped and her memory is not clear, but she is a good person. She has been staying at my place for such a period of time. People around Zhuangzi work diligently and are kind to others, and everyone around her values ​​her."

"Before this happened, she was still doing needlework and had never offended anyone. It just happened suddenly. I don't know anything else."

"..."

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts looked at Hu Ma and said, "Did you go to any evil places before? Did you offend anyone? Or did you provoke some powerful evil spirits?"

Hu Ma shook his head and said: "She only helps with work in the wine shop. At most, she only goes to the village to deliver meals. She doesn't even go out of the town. How can she provoke anything powerful?"

"If it's weird..."

"..."

As he spoke, he looked at the old housekeeper next to him and said, "It's quite strange that this old gentleman appears."

The old housekeeper was already sweating after hearing this, and said hurriedly: "Don't make any guesses, I know the situation of the young lady. She was born in the underworld, and her soul can be separated from her body when she falls red, and she can extradite the souls of the dead."

"Now I think the living soul is trapped somewhere and cannot return."

"But actually, there are a lot of things that happened before and after, and even I don't understand them clearly..."

"Ever since...when the lanterns were put on, the lady was kidnapped, and I felt weird, but I don't know why. When I found the lady this time, she didn't recognize me, but..."

"But I think no matter what, the master can help the young lady take good care of it."

"This time, I don't ask for anything else. I just hope that Cao Xin Tang can help my young lady stabilize her life. At least I can make her wait until she meets the master. That's fine..."

"..."

From what he said, he didn't expect Cao Xintang to be able to cure him, but just let Cao Xintang help stabilize the situation.

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts also hesitated slightly, thoughtfully.

The old housekeeper stood up and knelt down and said, "Cao Xintang's great kindness in saving lives will definitely be remembered by the Li family of Dashitouya..."

"Don't kneel down, don't kneel down..."

Shopkeeper Wugui also stopped the old housekeeper in a hurry and said: "Treatment or not depends on the rules and has nothing to do with your family. Besides, this matter is not simple. I always have to go upstairs and ask the lady for advice first."

"Take a seat, please. Come and watch the tea!"

As he spoke, he asked the waiter in the shop to serve tea, and he got up and went upstairs.

Hu Ma and the old housekeeper sat here. The old housekeeper was a little embarrassed. After sitting for a while, he said to Hu Ma: "Don't be surprised, my benefactor. It's not that I can't trust my benefactor, but my lady's life experience is very involved. I don't Dare to say it.”

"If you don't say it, don't you say it?"

Hu Ma thought to herself, with a sneer on her face, and said to the old housekeeper: "Old man, don't blame me for speaking out."

"I saved the person casually, and I didn't take it seriously at first."

"Now that she's sick, I'm also using time and favors. It stands to reason that her family has come to find her. I'd rather put down my hands and go with your family."

"But I handed the letter to Dashouya, but her family didn't come over. Here you are, and you're someone I found myself. Besides, the girl Xiang didn't recognize you in the wine shop before."

"Now you just keep saying that you are the steward of their family. Do you have any tokens to prove it?"

"I'm still here now just because I don't trust you. You are still so secretive, but who are you looking down on?"

"..."

When he said this, the old housekeeper was already a little ashamed. When he looked at him earlier, he seemed to be vaguely arrogant from a wealthy family, but now he seemed to have been stripped naked all of a sudden. He explained embarrassingly: "I also know what I should show." Tokens, to win people’s trust…”

"It's just that I came here all the way. I was running around for a long time, and I encountered some powerful people. I was beaten to death and lost all my luggage. It's really..."

"..."

"That's your problem too."

Hu Ma said calmly: "Besides, you don't have a token. Even if you take out the token, I just feel relaxed. I have left it to you. I will go back to Zhuangzi to do my work."

"What's the matter, do you really think that you guys have become relatives of the emperor, and everyone will fawn over you when they see you?"

"..."

What he said was true, and the old housekeeper couldn't keep it off his face. He suddenly knelt down and said: "My benefactor, please don't say that. It will really make me lose my face..."

Hu Ma just raised her hand to lift him up when he knelt down, without letting him kneel down.

But he also frowned, showing no joy at all.

"What's going on?"

At this moment, Shopkeeper Wu Gui came downstairs and saw the two of them like this. He was slightly startled, then ignored them and just said to Hu Ma: "My young lady said, since she didn't take the initiative to provoke them, then... You can take a look.”

"It's just that today I have to burn incense and take a bath in order to use the commanding method."

Then he smiled at Hu Ma and said, "I wanted to have a few drinks with my little brother at noon, but we have to wait for another day."

"I can't touch wine today."

"..."

Hu Ma smiled hurriedly and said: "The days are long, what are you doing in a hurry?"

There was something vaguely moving in my heart. The fragrant girl would take the initiative to leave her soul and help the wronged soul lead the way. So in her current situation, it was hard to say whether she took the initiative to provoke him. After all, she accidentally broke into some evil territory, which was actually not different from taking the initiative to provoke him.

To put it bluntly, whether to save or not is all a matter of Miss White Wine's words.

Now that she said she wanted to save her, was it because in her eyes, Xiang Yatou had to break the rules to save people?
