MTL - Twilight Boundary-Chapter 11 Second Master hits a ghost

Chapter 11 The Second Master Confronts a Ghost

Hu Ma almost lost her sense of time and space in this gloomy forest.

He didn't know how long he had been walking in this forest, but when he finally came out of the forest and was sweating all over his body, he looked up and saw a low hill in front of him. At the other end of the hill, It's another, bigger forest.

Looking far into the distance, it seems that you can see some kind of dark red, bloated and squirming huge piece of meat deep in the forest.

I don’t know if I was dazzled or not.

But he withdrew his gaze and looked at the mountainous area, and found that there were several low stone houses there, and there seemed to be some vaguely shaking figures. He immediately glanced at his mother-in-law and confirmed that that was where her mother-in-law wanted to take her. Go somewhere by yourself.

　　He quickly cheered up and followed quickly.

As I walked closer, I found that this place looked like a small farm. There were several vegetable fields planted around it. There was a large flat land with compacted soil inside, and there was a millstone in the middle.

On the surrounding walls, there are two rows of weapon racks sparsely placed, on which you can see broadswords, spears, lotus hooks, rope darts, etc., as well as several heavy stone pillars.

At this moment, in front of the room, there was a tall old man sitting on the bench.

Besides there is a small teapot and a plate of dry tobacco.

In front of him, there were two rows of a dozen teenagers, shirtless, wearing black pants, and boxing in a strict manner.

 “Is this a place for boxing training?”

Hu Ma was a little surprised at what she saw at this time, and thought to herself.

What surprised him even more was that he had seen the endless dangers outside the village. If the old man had special skills and could live outside the village by himself, how could there be such a group of young people following him? Together?

 The young men in the village were not allowed to get close to the edge of the village.

Or should I say, what kind of powerful ability does that old man have that he can live outside with these teenagers?

"Things that kill people are of no use to us, and they can't deal with the Meng family."

The mother-in-law seemed to have noticed Hu Ma's thoughts, and turned around and warned: "I asked you to come here to learn another skill from Lao Er. If you can learn it, then without the protection of Lao Huotang, those evil spirits will not dare to Come as close as you like."

“Besides, it’s safer for you to stay with your second son than with your mother-in-law.”

“I’m going to have to free up my hands to deal with something in a few days, and I’m worried that I won’t be able to take care of you because of my negligence.”

　　　…”

"ah?"

Hu Ma's heart skipped a beat: Do you want me to stay here?

　Earlier, the first thing he did when he woke up was to escape from the room and escape from this sinister mother-in-law.

But needless to say, the result was that I was so frightened that I felt safer only if I stayed with her. But now, just how long had passed, when I had just adapted to the way of getting along with her, I unexpectedly got a A chance to leave her?

In addition, the intention of seeing her mother-in-law is not that she brought herself here for others to see, but just to find someone to take care of her.

“Sister, did you really bring the child here?”

At this moment, a loud laughter was heard, and it was the tall old man walking over.

While smiling, he walked up to him and glared at Hu Ma: "Boy, why didn't you call someone?"

 “Call Er Ye.”

The mother-in-law said something to Hu Ma, then turned around and said, "He was seriously injured before. Although he was rescued, he doesn't remember much."

 “Oh, that family is so cruel.”

When the second master heard this, he frowned slightly and glanced far into the surrounding woods.

He lowered his voice and said, "Is that business still here?"

"The Meng family has always done things like this. They won't give up until they succeed."

The mother-in-law shook her head, took the bundle from Hu Ma's back, and asked Hu Ma to go further away and wait. Then she turned around and handed the bundle to the second master, saying, "I injured that line some time ago, but I confiscated it." .”

“Thinking about it, it has almost recovered during this period. If I don’t get rid of it, I will never feel at ease...”

　　　…”

The second master held up the bundle with one hand, weighed it slightly, frowned and said:

“Old sister, you saved my life back then. If you hadn’t brought these things, I would have taken care of Xiao Huma...”

　　　…”

"One yard owned by a yard."

The mother-in-law said: "I brought my grandson here to pay homage to his master, not to seek favors."

"I took him to Laohuotangzi, but his ancestors didn't recognize him. Now he can only learn your skills."

　　　…”

 “But I...”

The second master frowned and lowered his voice: "Sister, I'm teaching Xiao Huma, there's no problem at all."

“But not everyone can learn what I do…”

　　　…”

 “He will definitely learn it.”

When the mother-in-law talked about this issue, she seemed to be much stricter and whispered: "He must also learn your skills."

 “Our Hu family…”

 When she said this, she actually felt a little depressed. She sighed and said, "There is no other way."

Seeing this, the second master couldn't say anything, so he hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, this is my nephew, I will definitely teach him carefully."

“It’s just that the evil people sent by the Meng family, look at...”

　　　…”

He was eager to try and seemed to be volunteering. "That's the grudge of our Hu family."

But the mother-in-law interrupted the second master and said: "It is not a rule for outsiders to interfere."

"Oh well!"

The second master didn’t say much. He put the baggage under his arm and said, “I’m not polite to my sister either.”

“Don’t worry, let me leave my child alone. If you need to be busy, go and do your work. Whenever you need me, just ask Xiao Hongtang to come and say something.”

　　　…”

Mother-in-law didn't spend much time here chatting, she just told Hu Ma some things, which was nothing more than eating more meat, learning more skills from the second master, being obedient, not going down the mountain, and so on.

Then he let Hu Ma kowtow to the second master three times on the muddy ground. When he stood up, his mother-in-law patted the dirt on his knees, took out the small silver cakes from his arms, and put them into his In his hand, he turned around and left.

Hu Ma held these silver cakes with her body temperature in her hands and watched her rickety back slowly going down the mountain.

As if he didn't know it, he suddenly felt a little emotional.

 Thinking about the truth that I had concealed, I felt a little unbearable.

 …

“Oh, why are you acting like a girl and crying now that you are away from your mother-in-law?”

The second master saw Hu Ma’s sadness, but misunderstood it. He smiled and patted his head and said:

 “Once you have learned your skills, go back, why are you crying?”

　　　…”

 Speaking, he brought Hu Ma to the front of the house.

The group of teenagers who were practicing boxing also stopped at this time, and one of them looked at Hu Ma with round eyes.

Someone glanced at the arm that looked like a stick, curled his lips and said, "This new guy? He's not too strong anymore."

“You don’t have a lot of flesh on your body. If you encounter evil spirits, how can you be swept away by a gust of evil wind?”

Some people also snorted and said, "That's the grandson of the walking ghost mother-in-law. He's usually very precious..."

“I feel a headache when I study, I feel tired when I practice the postures, and I feel tired when I go to work in the sun.”

“Sometimes my mother-in-law goes out to treat people and cannot come back at noon, so she has to ask the aunt next door to prepare a meal for him and send it over. He still picks the fat and the thin..."

　　　…”

　　　…”

“Are these young men also from the village?”

Hu Ma listened, but he didn't take the contempt and ridicule of these children to heart.

Instead, there was a slight movement in my heart. It seemed that these young people also understood what happened to their original bodies.

Because he was afraid of his mother-in-law, he never dared to directly ask him what happened to him and what it was like before. But now he thought that he could try to get some information from these people later and piece it together. Clarify what happened before.

 “Alright, stand still for me.”

The second master frowned and shouted loudly, and the young men immediately stood up in order.

 “You come over too.”

The second master lightly kicked Hu Ma on the buttocks and asked him to stand next to the group of teenagers. Then he said loudly:

 “What is evil but not evil?”

"That's just a gloomy wind. My mother-in-law said that you should come and bask in the sun with me to strengthen your temper. If you want to talk to me, you are right to come. You should have come a long time ago."

"I never care about those who are evil or not. If you ask me, those things are bully and afraid of the weak. You can meet them because your body is too weak. You have to practice a skill and blow it away in one breath. got those things.”

　　　…”

 “Second Master…”

In the crowd, the fat young man said with a smile: "What Huma encountered is a very powerful thing."

“In the old fire pond, the ancestors didn’t dare to protect him!”

　　　…”

 “Then practice more.”

The second master glared at him and said, "Once you have practiced it, you no longer need the protection of your ancestors."

 “How can a living person point to a dead person to live?”

　　　…”

As he spoke, he sat down, rubbed the shredded tobacco, stuffed it into the pot, and said:

"Second Master, I was also troubled by this thing when I was young. At that time, I was in my twenties and had a big heart. When I went out on business, I forgot to take my ancestors' ashes with me. As a result, I found an empty room to sleep in at night. At that time, I was accidentally entangled by a hanged widow. I watched her slip in through the crack in the door, her face turned pale, climbed onto my kang, and pulled my belt to do that..."

 “Guess what happened next?”

　　　…”

All the young men suddenly became curious and stretched their necks to wait for the next chapter.

"Ah…"

Second Master held the cigarette rod, sat on the small bench with a strong sword, and said proudly: "Twenty times a night!"

 “The sun has gone!”
