Twilight Boundary Chapter 194

Chapter 194 Can't escape

“Don't blame me.”

“It's not that I don't want to save people, it's just beyond my capabilities.”

Hu Ma sat silently in the main room of the inner courtyard, lowering his eyes and looking a little gloomy. Xiao Hongtang sat on the threshold, looking outside from time to time, and then at Hu Ma in the main room.

Zhou Datong and others, as Hu Ma said, had closed the door of the outer courtyard tightly, and they hid in the side rooms on both sides of the inner courtyard, leaving only the lantern of the Red Lantern Lady in the outer courtyard.

Logically speaking, the Red Lantern Lady's lantern is the most important, and it must be brought inside for protection first.

But now, as she was being blown by the cold wind and drizzle, no one could care about it. After all, the Red Lantern Lady herself couldn't care about this village.

Also because they all entered the inner courtyard and were far away from the gate, they were also far away from the people outside the gate asking for help.

The people in the surrounding villages are all familiar with the villagers.

Usually when I meet someone outside, they are either the master in charge, or they call me "little brother" politely. When I need to buy something from them in the village, I always buy the best stuff from my own house. Bring it to Zhuangzi to choose.

Those who sell tofu leave the first piece to Zhuangzi.

Even now, in the surrounding villages and towns, when any family has a wedding or wedding, they are proud to have the steward of the village.

But now, they are the ones asking for help outside the gate.

They did not dare to bang the door hard, but kowtowed outside. Occasionally, a cry penetrated the two courtyards and touched people's hearts.

The guys in the village know that they are all worried about their families now, and they also know that the Gangzizhuang has become more and more dangerous. Evil spirits have started to make trouble, and they want to harm many people, but they have no choice but to huddle in the inner courtyard. Some have already He covered his ears in pain.

What can be done?

Hunter can make the Red Lantern Queen take one look and run away immediately. Hu Ma can be 100% sure that this matter is the layout of the big shot.

It may not be him who contributes, but there must be his shadow behind it.

The layout of the big shot is unimaginably dangerous.

So he knew it was right to hide, but he felt very unhappy.

“Xiao Hongtang, do you think it's not good to hide?”

He had been sitting in the main room without covering his ears, because he knew it would be useless if he did.

But the crying outside Zhuangzi kept coming, and he felt more and more oppressive in this spacious hall. He always wanted to find something to say, so he looked at the little red flower on the threshold.

I feel that Xiao Hongtang is very strange now. In the past, when she encountered such dangerous things, she would have run away long ago.

In other words, I sensed something lively outside, so I went over early and sat on the wall to take a look.

　　But this time she was different. She kept riding on the threshold, looking as if she was scared, not daring to go out, but unwilling to come in, hiding with herself.

So Huma was curious about what she was thinking.

"have no idea."

Xiao Hongtang shook her head and said, "It's never happened before."

Her words are always crisp and simple.

　　Yes, my mother-in-law would definitely not do this.

Just like in Dayangzhai, not everyone is so simple and kind, but if someone needs help, the mother-in-law will not look at whose family it is or whether they can afford the money. The mother-in-law will just do it naturally. Went over to help.

Hu Ma doesn't know. Will her mother-in-law be disappointed in herself if she finds out that I am hiding in Zhuangzi at this time?

He couldn't tell the answer, and he didn't want to think about it. He could only feel that as time passed, there seemed to be more and more calls for help around him.

He hid in Zhuangzi and shut out the trouble.

But the disaster can be shut out, but the cry cannot. It still penetrates into the yard and into the ears.

This cry makes people feel confused, but what can I do?

Looking for seniors from Laoyinshan?

That senior's attitude has been very clear. He will naturally take care of his own affairs, but now it is not his own business...

So, you just hide like this?

Hu Ma looked outside, looking across the inner courtyard, as if looking directly at the closed door, like a prison, locking herself inside.

A key point came to mind: Why did you find me?

Theoretically, if this was the action of that big shot, he could only target those who were suspected. But on the surface, he was just an ordinary shopkeeper. Even Datong and the others were not very suspicious. Why was this disaster still happening? coming?

Zheng Xiangzhu?

The cold and silent face of Zheng Xiangzhu flashed in his mind...

Only he would drag himself into this disaster even after the old tree stump had covered him up.

But…

Thinking of Zheng Xiangzhu, a strong hatred arose in her heart, but the moment she thought of him, Hu Ma was suddenly startled and realized a problem.

Since Zheng Xiangzhu is causing trouble, how can he allow himself to escape?

Now I am hiding to avoid disaster, but I can hide when evil spirits are causing trouble, but how can I hide when villains are causing trouble?

The more I thought about it, the more horrified I felt. My mind couldn't help but start running quickly. I tried my best to take advantage of the information explosion era to step into the perspective of the superior Meng family and the perspective of Zheng Xiangzhu, and guess what they wanted to do...

If those people want to get rid of themselves as Zhuangzi, they can just do it directly. Why do they have to use their efforts in the surrounding villages?

"Force me, or the descendants of the Hu family to take action?" This answer flashed through Hu Ma's mind, and her pupils shrank slightly.

The New Year's Book!

In addition to the power of shelter, one of the biggest characteristics of the descendants of the Hu family is the Zhensui Shu.

Perhaps, compared to the power of shelter, the method in the book of suppressing the year is what the Meng family really wants to find.

So, if his ultimate goal was to force people to use the Zhen Sui Shu, then he must have tried his best to attack several other places in Mingzhou City that made him suspicious.

The Zhuangzi himself is probably not the most important. It may even be an incidental addition, added by the person named Zheng.

This disaster was originally directed at me, but the people in the village were implicated by me...

The cries outside Zhuangzi kept coming, and there was deep despair inside.

Then the evil spirits will become more and more serious in the village, and the people will become more and more frightened. If a person's courage is strong, he can suppress the evil spirits. If his courage is weak, the evil spirits will become more powerful and fierce.

Sooner or later, the time will come when you can't hold on even if you hide in the village...

What should I do?

Take Datong and the others to escape into Laoyin Mountain?

You have to escape, but you also have to consider the possibility that you may not be able to escape. Since the man named Zheng is targeting you, how can you show mercy?

And now…

Hu Ma stood up and looked at the sky outside the yard.

The weather was gloomy, and it was difficult to tell the difference between day and night. The dark clouds in the sky looked vaguely like evil ghosts, staring at Zhuangzi.

The crying outside Zhuangzi, the cold weather, and the heavy dark clouds seemed to form boundless pressure. The fear and crying of the people outside Zhuangzi helped to increase the evil spirit. The evil spirit became more powerful than before, but at this moment, Hu Ma In my heart, it became brighter.

“This **** is boiling oil...”

“Someone is turning this place into a frying pan!”

“I'm hiding here like a toad in the pan. Not only can't I escape, but I'm about to be fried to death…”

“I don't know if I can escape if I keep doing this, but Xiao Hongtang and the other guys in Zhuangzi will probably look down on me, so now…”

As he pondered, he could only think quickly, so he couldn't keep watching them burn the pot of oil. Even if it turned out to be bad in the end, if he wanted to hide in Laoyin Mountain, he would have to get out first, and then he would have to go out again. Only when you are close to Laoyin Mountain can you have the opportunity to escape at a critical moment.

After thinking about this, he let out a long sigh of relief and said with a cold expression: "If you can't hide, then you won't hide, and you have to do it more beautifully!"

I have analyzed countless reasons in my mind, and I have my own understanding of the whole situation, and I also understand what is the safest way to do it.

Of course, there may be a little bit of it, just because I don't want to hide.

There are so many ridiculous and tragic things in this world. If they don't happen in front of your eyes, you just pretend you don't see them.

But it's happening right in front of our eyes, and it's hard to pretend not to see it.

At the same time, the little red flower on the threshold and the waiters hiding in the side rooms on both sides of the inner courtyard were all looking at Hu Ma furtively.

Hu Ma has been sitting in the main room with the door open. They stretched their heads and could vaguely see him.

Nowadays, the people outside Zhuangzi are crying for help, which makes them scratch their hearts, but they dare not make a decision and can only look at Hu Ma. In their eyes, Hu Ma seems to be suffering from inner suffering and has been thinking. ,thinking.

Until, Hu Ma suddenly slapped the table and stood up, walking to the door.

“Come out, Brother Mazi is out…”

Zhou Datong suddenly shouted with joy, took pictures of the other guys, and walked out of the rooms on both sides.

They are all poor young men from the village. They will be afraid when encountering evil spirits, so they always count on the flax in the main room to be their backbone.

But they are also young people of seventeen or eighteen years old, who have been holding back a lot of anger and cannot let it out. They have their own sense of righteousness.

So when I saw Hu Ma getting up, I couldn't help but feel my heart tremble. There were smiles on the innocent faces that I couldn't explain the meaning of.

“Brother Huma…”

Even Xiao Hongtang, when she saw Hu Ma finally getting up, her eyes lit up, her smile turned into a crescent moon, and she shouted happily.

Hu Ma nodded to Xiao Hongtang, then took out his mahogany sword and serrated knife from the table, and said to Zhou Datong who stretched out his head: "Datong, are your guys still here?"

Zhou Datong and others were startled, and suddenly nodded vigorously.

Hu Ma smiled and said, "Then take it with you and let's go out and get rid of evil spirits for the villagers!"
