Chapter 305: Things of betrayal
 Just find the right direction. After all, you have to eat one bite at a time and walk the road step by step.
In the eyes of others, Hu Ma suddenly became low-key. After he came back from Anzhou, he only entered the city once.
First, we went to Cao Xintang, settled the account, had a drink with the shopkeeper Wu Gui, and talked about some things about the Li family in Dongzi. Then we went to Master Xu Xiang, and followed him to pay homage to the Red Lantern Empress, respectfully. I burned a stick of incense and thanked my empress for rescuing me on the road.
﻿Hong Lantern Empress didn’t react at all, and she didn’t offer any conditions.
Hu Ma couldn’t help but sigh that the empress is so kind and honest.
﻿At night, Yang Gong of course invited Xu Xiangzhu and other old acquaintances to have a banquet at Chunhe Building. After the wine was full, Manager Xu brought up the matter of arranging for him to go to the Blood Food Mine earlier.
 Everyone understands it and everyone is happy.
﻿Hunted for a night at Guanshi Xu's place, Hu Ma returned to Zhuangzi the next day. Before returning, he went to the horse and carriage shop and looked at the three handlebar workers and the two clerks who accompanied him to Anzhou.
Not only did he pay their wages, but he also gave them an extra reward. He was so moved that the three of them slapped their chests and loudly promised that next time the shopkeeper has such a long-distance job, he will come directly to find him. us…
 …We will definitely recommend someone with more courage to you.
 “Looks like I’m really scared...”
Hu Ma only smiled and thanked them, and only agreed that the next time he went to Laoyin Mountain, it would definitely be less dangerous.
 The handlebar type said yes to the two guys, and then refused the job.
After coming out of the mule and horse stall, before driving the carriage back to Zhuangzi, Hu Ma took a long detour to visit the old ghost man who raised cattle, and then he took him to Aunt Zhang in another village. .
But I saw that Aunt Zhang lived outside the village and built a few thatched houses on the mountainside. She was a little happy to see Hu Ma back and asked him if the road ahead was going smoothly.
“It was all thanks to Agu’s ability that Miss Renxiangyu was safely sent home…”
Hu Ma thanked Aunt Zhang and stayed here for a meal. Then before leaving, she left thirty taels of silver and two blood food pills.
 Afraid that she wouldn't accept it, so he secretly tucked it into the bed.
Unexpectedly, after walking less than two miles, I saw a headless little ghost blocking the road with its arms stretched out.
Later, Aunt Zhang also caught up, blushing, and said that it was thirty taels of silver, and she was already very embarrassed to accept it. The other two blood food pills must be taken back by Hu Ma. Seeing that she was serious, Hu Ma had no choice but to take them. Next, he just smiled and asked her:
“Agu, do you still remember what I said earlier?”
"I'm back from this trip. I'll take a rest first and then go back to ask around and help you."
　　　…”
 “Brother, shopkeeper, don’t take it to heart…”
When Aunt Zhang heard this, her face turned red and she just said: "There are many poor people in this world, so why am I one more?"
She just thought that Hu Ma was young and vigorous, and made the promise casually, but didn't take it to heart.
﻿And Hu Ma didn't explain much. He just left the thirty taels of silver and drove the carriage back to Zhuangzi.
﻿After dealing with these things, he became relaxed and practiced silently, pondering, and saw that the days passed day by day, and the new year was quickly approaching.
Hu Ma had already made a promise to these guys earlier, so he couldn't let them go wrong now, so he gave Zhou Datong twenty taels of silver and asked him to go to the city, buy New Year's goods properly, and then come back and divide them among the guys.
Later, half a month before the New Year, two men were arranged to guard Zhuangzi, promising them to bring more New Year's goods home for the New Year. After a few more days of rest, they caught up with the carriage with Zhou Datong and others, and pulled Went back to Dayangzhai to celebrate the New Year with all the New Year's goods.
﻿﻿This time I simply didn’t look for a handlebar. Anyway, the horse pulling the cart is too sensible...
The only thing is that whenever something important happens now, Hu Ma will use this horse to help pull the cart, which saves the donkey brought back from Wutong Town.
﻿﻿Every time he saw the horse being picked to pull the cart, and he only had to eat grass in the stable and lie down in the sun, the donkey felt like it was a happy birthday. Occasionally, he would smile when no one saw him.
 When we returned to the village, there was nothing much to say.
The second master's body is still strong, and the old patriarch is getting stronger and stronger as he lives. Because Hu Ma and the others came back in the first year, he knew that this year would definitely come, so he waited for a few days and asked the people in the village to pick him up at the intersection. .
 When I came back, I felt relieved when I saw that these promising children brought back more New Year goods than last year.
“Before, I was worried that your little steward couldn’t do his job well, but within a year he was raped...”
The second master sighed with emotion and patted Hu Ma on the shoulder: "Looking at it now, I have done well. I can survive in such a high position. I think I am stable."
 “It’s actually not very stable…”
Hu Madu smiled bitterly and thought to himself: "After all, I am no longer in charge..."
﻿Of course, because he gave the order, those who came back did not dare to say that Hu Ma had done the job of the shopkeeper.
It was just Zhou Datong. He was obviously that he was in charge, and he had to say that he was a guy.
In the next few days, we had a feast, cleaned the house, paid homage to the old fire pond, and then invited my mother-in-law back to celebrate the New Year. After the New Year, we went to the forest to sacrifice as usual... No, it was to sacrifice my godmother. If you understand, If you want to offer sacrifices to Linzi, you still can't bear it.
 It seems that my godmother has lost weight after not seeing her for a year...
Standing alone by the river, a few thin willow branches were hanging feebly... Under the roots of the tree, there were many traces of burning paper for worship. It was probably people from the village who came to burn it.
When they came to worship their godmother the first year, the old man Yangpi from Mang Village brought people over to make trouble. But this year they came earlier, just to follow the people to worship their godmother. Everyone made offerings in a lively manner, and then Kowtow to your godmother.
As usual, many strange things from the forest were attracted to watch the ceremony. The godmother was now lying down, just kowtowing to so many people, motionless.
﻿﻿However, the difference from last year is that this time after offering sacrifices to his godmother, Hu Ma immediately found a secluded place.
He bowed respectfully and said in a low voice: "Senior, I have now officially begun to learn the skills in the New Year Book."
 “I have tried my best to prepare, but I still know too little.”
“I don’t know if it will have any impact after learning it…”
　　　…”
“Of course there is an influence, and whether there are people in the Hu family or not is the biggest influence.”
As expected, Senior Lao Shuzhuzi did not leave in a hurry, but quietly appeared behind Hu Ma and replied softly: "But you don't have to think about it so much. All ten surnames have heirs, but the descendants of the Hu family have no one to teach them, so they It’s already pitiful.”
“If you just want to be a scholar, and you have to suffer some mysterious plot, then your mother-in-law’s request to me was in vain.”
　　　…”
 "this…"
Hu Ma was surprised. Senior Old Tree Stump, did you agree to block some mysterious things for yourself?
 My heart moved slightly, and I quickly asked another question: "Also, it is said that there is something called the Five Evil Gods in the hall?"
 “I have a friend who is being targeted by him, and I think...”
　　　…”
 The old tree stump said: "...you want to get rid of him?"
Hu Ma suddenly closed her mouth. She did have this idea, but if she could talk about it, she still had to talk about it!
 “If you want to get rid of it, just get rid of it.”
Senior Old Tree Stump seemed to be able to feel the entanglement in Hu Ma's heart, and he said bluntly: "If the descendants of the Hu family want to get ahead, it will not be smooth sailing. If you don't think about getting rid of it, it may come to you. "
“Your mother-in-law is in the ancestral temple now, so the people who are afraid of you coming forward are not the Meng family, nor the people in the ten surnames, but just some people in the hall..."
　　　…”
 “Something in the hall?”
When Hu Ma asked this question, he originally just wanted to ask what the old tree stump senior thought of the Five Evil Gods, but he didn't expect that it would lead to so many words at once.
 There will be some things in the hall, worried about the descendants of the Hu family coming back?
“When you came back from this trip, you also paid homage to the old fire pond and replaced it with new pond ashes.”
Senior Old Tree Stump said slowly: "The hundreds of people living in Dayang Village all rely on the old fire pond to survive in Laoyin Mountain. Even the evil spirits outside the village must be frightened by the old fire pond." Majesty, protect the people in the village."
“But if these evil spirits have their own ideas and no longer want to keep Dayangzhai Village, but also want to take Old Huotang as their own, who do you think they want to get rid of the most?”
　　　…”
These words immediately shocked Hu Ma: "Are the reincarnations not the only ones who care about my Hu family's things?"
"That's the thing. The Hu family's things are there. If you don't worry about them, sooner or later someone else or something will worry about them..."
But Senior Old Tree Stump just smiled and said: "Now it seems that they can't remember it, but don't forget that people are the smartest. If you can't do it now, it doesn't mean you can't do it in the future..."
"Haha, that's it for today. I won't say more. I also want to give face to you, the descendants of the Hu family, and come to you first at this most important time. But do you know that today I am being sacrificed in Laoyin Mountain? How many people are there?”
 “I’m still in a hurry to eat some noodles…”
　　　…”
Hu Ma was a little helpless.
﻿This is the most important thing. You, old man, are still going to eat noodles...
Because I had discovered earlier that Senior Old Tree Stump did not care about his head, I just gave him a deep bow and sent him away.
Because of this reminder, before returning to Zhuangzi, I went to Juehu Village again. This time I didn’t go in. Instead, I carefully took a look at the landforms and customs of the village, as well as the orientation and appearance of the four-sided gate stone. Look carefully in your heart before leaving.
 He was already preparing in his mind to solve the extinct village and get his own town item.
 "yes…"
After another two days, I changed into new pond ashes, put on new clothes, and returned to Zhuangzi’s Huma. I sighed silently in my heart: "This year, it’s time to be lively..."
“If you don’t take the treasure under the bed, sooner or later a thief will be interested in it, whether it’s a domestic thief or a foreign thief..."
