Twilight Boundary

"Quickly, over there, see if anything is okay..."

When the young men in the village lit torches and found flax, he was sitting next to the felled crooked neck tree to rest.

Cold sweat broke out all over his body, and the night wind blew bitingly cold.

But because of this, I broke out in a cold sweat. The heat and heaviness in my body before completely disappeared, and my whole body felt light and refreshing.

He just made such a move, not entirely out of anger, but mostly out of fear. This world is very evil, with evil spirits, meat mountains, and ghosts, but Hu Ma realized that there are actually things more powerful than these. frightening.

Even if an evil spirit comes to harm others, you can see and feel that it wants to harm you. There is still a process, and you have the ability to allow yourself to resist a little.

But, what is happening to me now?

What on earth did the other party do to make him seriously ill out of thin air? He couldn't suppress it even under the fire, and Xiao Hongtang couldn't even see where the enemy was?

This kind of illogical thing is the most frightening, and it also makes him, who cherishes his life, feel strong anger and murderous intention in his heart.

"Little Huma, are you okay?"

The second master had already been anxious and led people to find Hu Ma. When he saw the crooked-neck tree, he felt uncomfortable all over his body.

He was not good at walking ghosts, but the sixty-year-old boy's body was not trivial. When he felt uncomfortable, he knew that there must be remnants of evil magic around him. In addition, he saw Hu Ma here, and his heart trembled with nervousness.

"This old tree is harmful to people."

Hu Ma took a breath, pointed at the crooked neck tree and said, "If my mother-in-law hadn't reminded me, I would have been killed by it."

"Old tree?"

The second master hurriedly stepped forward and took a torch to shine a light on it. He saw the floating soil beside the tree and kicked it away with his feet. A black bundle was suddenly revealed in the pit.

He kicked it open with his feet, only to find that inside was a doll cut out of red paper, with Hu Ma's birthday and horoscopes on it, and a tattered cloth shoe that had been there for an unknown period of time. The people present did not recognize it, but they also vaguely guessed it. Whose shoes are these?

"It's not me, it's not me..."

Seeing the burden, the second daughter-in-law of the Cui family, who was surrounded by others and brought over, immediately pulled her hair and shouted:

"It was the boss and the third who buried it, not me. Don't come looking for me..."

"..."

She was frightened out of her mind, but what she said was more honest. After hearing this, the faces of the people in the village suddenly changed.

"That mother-in-law..."

The second master's face was distorted with anger: "After so many years of silence, she still hasn't forgotten her evil magic!"

As an older man in the village, after hearing what the second master said and seeing this thing again, what is there that he doesn't understand?

The young man only remembered the ghost-traveling mother-in-law of the Hu family, but before the Hu family came to the village, there was also a disciple who knew the nightmare method in Dayang Village, that is the Cui family's grandma, especially after seeing what she buried under the tree, and then thinking about it After hearing about the Cui family, there is no one who doesn’t understand.

"This...the Cui family wanted to harm others, so they suffered retribution?"

"Bah, you deserve it. How dare such a harmful person stay in our village?"

"..."

For a moment, everyone in the village became pale, and began to curse regardless of the disaster the Cui family had just suffered.

Folks from the countryside are the most difficult to guard against when it comes to harming others.

When Hu Ma was born, the Cui family's grandma was in the village, helping to boil hot water and deliver red eggs. How could the horoscope be hidden from her?

And this dirty shoe, without even thinking about when it was worn by Hu Ma, was secretly hidden by her and kept to harm others. This kind of thing is really difficult for people in the same village to guard against. Of course, that is The people in the village hated him the most.

She can harm Hu Ma, but who in the village can't be harmed?

The group of people cursed and helped Hu Ma into the house. Someone went to fill him with half a ladle of water and feed him.

"found it……"

In the midst of the chaos, someone hurried back from the direction of Laohuotang, holding a bag of half-burned items with smoke coming out, showing them to the old patriarch and the second master:

"The Cui family's daughter-in-law went over to burn it. Someone saw it, but she didn't know what it was. It took me two rounds to find it."

But when the old patriarch saw such a big thing happening in the village, he felt bad.

The ancestors in Lao Huotangzi looked at it and thought it shouldn't be like this, so they quickly sent someone to Laohuotangzi to have a look to see if there was anything strange.

The second master took these things, took one look at them, and threw them out the door in disgust, saying: "It's the old woman's riding cloth wrapped in black Tai Sui soaked in dog blood, rotten wood, and excrement... This is the most beautiful thing." Filthy stuff.”

"She took it to the old fire pond to burn it. The ancestors could no longer see what was going on in the village. If evil spirits were causing trouble here, of course there would be no way to protect them..."

When the people around heard it, they were even more angry.

The people buried in that pond were all their ancestors. Who could do such a disrespectful thing to their ancestors?

"Oh, it was also the Cui family who suffered retribution."

The old patriarch was usually a peacemaker, but now he was angry. After thinking about it for a while, he understood the key and sneered angrily: "This Cui family is harming people. We are afraid that our ancestors will intervene, so we burned this filthy thing first." , covering the eyes of our ancestors.”

"But I didn't expect that my evil way of harming people was broken, and when it came back, I also killed my whole family because my ancestors couldn't see it..."

"Letting her whole family die would be an advantage for her."

"Otherwise, such a person would have to be expelled from the village. Who would dare to keep her?"

"..."

"What? All dead?"

Hu Ma, who had just calmed down, was suddenly startled.

The murderous intention had just arisen, and he only focused on cutting down the old tree with a crooked neck, but he also vaguely felt that it might come back to harm others.

But he didn't expect that the backlash would be so powerful.

I just chopped a few more times to vent my anger, but so many people in the Cui family died?

Just when I was thinking this, I suddenly noticed that the people in the village were getting angry and cursing one after another. However, some people couldn't help but look at one place. It was the man who was already crazy and his clothes were torn. The second daughter-in-law of the Cui family cried out that it was none of her business.

Beside her, there was a tall and thin young man, hugging her and sobbing softly. He seemed to be so distracted that he couldn't care less about what the people around him were saying.

Cui Xie'er...

Some complicated emotions gradually arose in Hu Ma's heart. Just by cutting down the crooked neck tree, he killed his whole family?

"Then this..."

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt something stirred in his heart: "...Then we can't keep this one either!"

Before cutting down the tree, I didn't know that the Cui family would be wiped out. But now that the family has been wiped out, wouldn't it be a future trouble if this one is left here?

Just as Hu Ma was thinking in his mind, Cui Xie'er was hugging his own mother, just wanting her to calm down. He had already heard the curses of the people in the village around him, and he felt angry and frightened.

Now that the Cui family had suddenly undergone a big change, he was actually frightened, but he couldn't help but feel full of resentment in his heart, and he looked at Hu Ma in the room fiercely.

Unexpectedly, this eye contact actually shocked my heart.

Hu Ma was also looking at him now, and the killing intent in her eyes was several times stronger than his.

"Mom, let's go home first, let's go home first..."

He could only drag his disheveled mother up and squeeze out of the crowd little by little.

The people in the village have no good feelings or sympathy for the Cui family now, but seeing that he is a half-grown young man, a crazy woman, and the family has suffered a great disaster, they can't do anything to embarrass him, so they are still too slow. Slowly, make way for him to come out.

As for the old patriarch, he was full of anger. At this time, he could only say: "Let's find a coffin and put the person away first!"

"Can't we just leave it like that?"

"..."

Everyone in the village understands that using a coffin to contain the food represents the attitude of the clan leader.

However, now that someone has just died, after the initial anger has passed, they will not say anything. Some enthusiastic villagers also came out to help, and other Cui family members were busy looking for wood, and restrained the Cui family's few The Kouzi people brought a few crazy people back to the Cui family.

In the second half of the night, the Cui family lit up a lot of white lanterns, and faint cries came from the building.

"Let's go, little Huma, you come back to Zhuangzi with me first."

The second master helped out all night. First, he checked to see if there were any other problems in the village, and then arranged for someone to stand guard next to the old fire pond. He was afraid that someone would do something like this to the Cui family and offend the ancestors. When the fish belly comes out, He just returned to Hu Ma.

"You can't live in this village for the time being..."

When there was no one around, the second master whispered to Hu Ma: "Although the Cui family harmed people first, it was a bit miserable all of a sudden. The Cui family is a famous surname in the village, and there are many uncles. "

"I think you can no longer stay in the village during this period. Although the Cui family is unreasonable, who knows if they will come over and do something?"

"Just come back to live with me in the village!"

"good……"

Hu Ma agreed, but couldn't help but asked: "How is Cui Xie'er?"

"What else?"

The second master sighed deeply, thinking that Hu Ma was concerned about this peer who was learning to do things together, and said: "He is also a half-year-old child, so he was frightened. But with the help of people in the village, the funeral can still be done. , as for what happens next..."

"……talk later!"

"..."

"He should be unable to leave the village these days."

Hu Ma silently made a mental note, packed her things and went with the second master.

Before leaving, I pressed the Tang Hui-covered purse on my chest, and I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart.

This time, I only survived thanks to the blessing of my mother-in-law...

He finally understood that ordinary people only enter the old fire pond after death, but the mother-in-law just wanted to go to the ancestral temple, but insisted on burning her body in the old fire pond.

Is she trying to keep a trace of her spirituality in the old fire pit so that she can continue to protect herself?
