MTL - Twilight Boundary-Chapter 20 Mountain God Marriage

Chapter 20 The Mountain God’s Marriage

 Grandma-in-law really found a good way for herself.

With an adequate supply of blood and food, Hu Ma not only no longer had the cold feeling in her limbs, but the heat became thicker.

 He also gradually discovered the relationship between his own state and Tai Sui.

 After eating Tai Sui meat, even if it is just White Tai Sui meat, a warm feeling will appear in the body.

Of course it is relatively weak, especially if you only eat a little bit, it can be ignored.

And after eating Qing Tai Sui, the heat generated by the body can continue to dissipate for a day or two.

Of course, if you don’t do any work, if you do, it will be completely consumed in half a day.

And eating Tai Sui with blood is even more different. The sesame can last for a day or two, and the body is full of energy and energy.

 If you do the work, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

During this period of time, he felt that the fire in his abdomen was changing almost every day. The subtle fire at the beginning turned into a brazier within a few days, and it lasted for a few more days. He even felt that in his lower abdomen, It seemed like there was a blazing furnace.

 The body is warm and energetic, and there seems to be endless strength in the body.

Every morning when I wake up, the flag is standing straight.

Of course, Erye doesn’t raise pigs here, and he hasn’t returned to the village, so I don’t know if he will be greedy after seeing pig butts...

However, with this strong fire in his lower abdomen, the bone-chilling chill he felt from time to time has indeed weakened a lot, and the weird shadows he always saw from time to time also seem to disappear.

 In normal times, you don’t need someone to watch you all the time. You can even leave Zhuangzi occasionally for a change.

Of course, he still didn’t dare to go out even after dusk.

 Moreover, no one dares to get even half a step closer to that eerie forest no matter day or night.

The good news is that Er Ye’s method is easy to use, and I have indeed avoided the evil spirits to a certain extent, and even the fierce fire.

 The bad news is that it will not work without Tai Sui. The fire cannot be improved, but will slowly weaken.

 So in the final analysis it is still Tai Sui.

　　Or, mother-in-law.

Even Hu Ma couldn’t figure it out. This Tai Sui blood was so valuable. Where did the mother-in-law cut so much of it from?

How much can she bring to herself?

Huma doesn’t know the answer to this question, and all he can do is not waste any of it.

 …

In the quiet side room, Hu Ma was sitting cross-legged on the bunk, slowly doing the work to bring the fire into the furnace.

Huma is not diligent in practicing the postures, but he is the most diligent in performing the exercises.

 When you have the opportunity, you must perform your work and introduce the heat into the furnace to store it. Only in this way, if one day you cut off the supply of blood and food, the fire accumulated in the furnace can sustain you for a while.

  After all, if you don't perform the work, even if the anger is sealed by the Liu'er Talisman and will not escape, it will be lost a little bit in the usual movement, sitting, lying or strenuous activities.

 Only if it is introduced and accumulated in the furnace, it can be effectively used.

Of course, in the eyes of others, his behavior may be called pretentious. After all, he is at a lively and active age. Let them practice fighting style and fight with full enthusiasm. Let them calm down and practice Kung Fu, but it is Somewhat goes against nature.

The flax was ignored, and the minimum amount of heat was left to support it every day, and the rest was introduced into the stove.

But while doing the work that day, I suddenly heard a dissatisfied voice: "You two, go fill the tank with water."

 Opening his eyes, he saw a tall and thin young man looking at him coldly and arrogantly.

"ah?"

Zhou Datong, who was in a pile of bedding not far away, also woke up with a start and took a sip of saliva.

 “I told you two to go fetch the water.”

The tall and thin boy got angry when he saw the two of them, and said with a cold face: "Others are practicing moves, studying pharmacology, and also patrolling the forest with the second master. You two are the only lazy ones, hiding in the room." If you are lazy and don't work hard to learn your skills, then that's fine."

“Is it okay to ask you guys to do something?”

“There’s no water in the kitchen. You two go to the spring and fetch a few loads of water until it’s full.”

　　　…”

The spring is at least three or four miles away from the village, and two buckets filled with water weighed fifty or sixty kilograms. Hu Ma frowned immediately.

But before he could say anything, Zhou Datong next to him cried out in pain: "I told the second master that I was robbed of my quilt at night, and I caught a cold and had diarrhea..."

 “If you have diarrhea, you have to go for diarrhea!”

The tall and thin boy said coldly: "To learn a skill, you have to work hard. Why are you so lazy?"

 “If you don’t want to go, you can give it a try!”

　　　…”

With that said, he slammed the doorframe, glared at Hu Ma and Zhou Datong, and turned to leave.

The young man's name is Cui Xie'er, a child of the Cui family in Dayangzhai Village, and the oldest of the group of young men who learned skills from the second master.

He had already worshiped Tai Sui once with the second master last year. Because he was very good at learning, he usually didn’t have to follow the teenagers to practice the moves. Instead, he cooked pots, cooked for the second master, etc., which was regarded as the responsibility of these teenagers. A big brother-level figure.

He has learned the skills he needs to learn a long time ago. Staying here is actually doing odd jobs for the second master and handling some big and small things.

 Huma has only been here for a short time and has made few friends, and is more careful not to make grudges with others. But as if he was born with a dislike for it, this man seemed to have some objections to Hu Ma.

 When serving porridge in the morning, Hu Ma's dried meat is always smaller than others, and sometimes there is none at all. In the past few days, he was always the one who took the lead in being weird.

But because Hu Ma kept a low profile and didn't take the initiative to communicate with outsiders. He didn't make any noise about the little piece of bacon he had in the morning. He didn't know what to do at first, but he didn't give up. Slowly, his actions became more and more excessive, and he had already confidently ordered Hu Ma to do it. Got to work.

 “Then, let’s go?”

 Zhou Datong blinked and looked at Hu Ma uncertainly.

 He is really afraid of this Cui Xie'er, because when he is practicing the moves, the opponent can be cruel to him.

He is not treated as well as Hu Ma. He has made it clear that he does not want to learn the moves, let alone avoid being beaten.

 “That’s okay!”

Hu Ma breathed a sigh of relief. Nowadays, strenuous physical labor is not good for his condition, but this kind of intensity for ordinary people is still barely acceptable.

 Besides, I also wanted to take the opportunity to ask Zhou Datong some questions.

 To sum it up, the grandson of the old patriarch in this village was also the first friend he made here.

According to the second master’s words, can’t you two be friends?

 Hu Ma used to be spoiled and had a reputation for not living up to expectations in the village.

Zhou Datong, on the other hand, is purely evil. He jumps up and down all day long to cause trouble in the village. He is famous as a troublemaker in the village.

To put it simply, these two are the sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks in Dayangzhai.

But before in the village, Hu Ma's predecessor did not become friends with Zhou Datong, and the two even disliked each other.

 But now that he came to the second master, it was different. Because Zhou Datong was specially taken care of by the second master, and because he was younger among this group of teenagers, he was much more honest.

Huma had another person inside her, her temper was no longer so cunning, and they got together as a pair in order to learn the moves, so they gradually became familiar with each other.

Of course, when Hu Ma made him a friend, she also thought that this guy was naive. He had a lot of gossip and it was easy to get things out of his mouth.

The two of them carried poles, hooked two buckets, and walked out of the village.

“What’s going on with that guy? He seems to have a problem with me?”

Seeing that no one was around, Hu Ma asked Zhou Datong in a low voice.

 He is a low-key person in his second generation. Coupled with his poor health, he will not argue with others and waste energy for nothing.

Even if he doesn't usually run mountains and practice tricks, that's his own business, and he's not taking advantage of others, but this guy named Cui Xie'er has had problems with him since he first came here, and now he's directly bullying him. It's on his face.

Zhou Datong glanced at Hu Ma in surprise and said, "Have you forgotten about Sister Cui?"

 “What’s the matter with sister Cui?”

Hu Ma felt deeply helpless.

These people all know that they don’t remember much, but they all think that they have only forgotten a few parts.

 Actually, I forgot all about it, okay?

 But he doesn’t show it very much at ordinary times, often pretending to understand but not understanding.

 “Just a few years earlier…”

Zhou Datong said: "The sister of the Cui family, Cui Xie'er's sister Cui Mo, went out to the village to harvest rice. She fell ill after returning."

"If the soup doesn't come in, it's useless to pray to Laohuotangzi. The Cui family found your mother-in-law. After looking at it, her mother-in-law said that this was the job of the mountain god. She asked the Cui family to throw away all the things they picked up recently and put Cui away. My sister locked up her house and wrapped the doors and windows with red thread. No matter what happened inside at night, she couldn't open the door. She went to talk to the mountain **** to see if she could talk about it."

“As a result, that night, Sister Cui cried for half the night and was found hanged the next day.”

　　　…”

"ah?"

Hu Ma was slightly surprised and said subconsciously: "Even if no one is saved, you can't blame your mother-in-law, right?"

"Anyway, the Cui family was quite dissatisfied with this matter. Didn't they come to your house and block the door to scold them afterwards? It was my grandfather who took them back. I heard the Cui family complain at that time, saying that there was no such thing as a mountain **** around the village. I have heard about powerful evil spirits, and even the ancestors in Huotangzi told me about it in their dreams. No one except my mother-in-law has ever mentioned this mountain god."

Zhou Datong Xu Xu explained: "We don't know the details. Your mother-in-law never mentioned this matter to the Cui family again."

 “You don’t even know, I’m even more confused...”

Hu Ma sighed inwardly, but finally understood the reason why Cui Xie'er targeted her.

"but…"

He looked at Zhou Datong next to him: "It's just that he's not satisfied with me, why is he so rude to you?"

 At any rate, the little fat man in front of me is also the grandson of the patriarch.

 Are the people in this place so disrespectful to the second generation of the village?

Not to mention, Zhou Datong was so aggrieved that it made people feel distressed: "I don't know why, but it seems that you will be particularly proud if you beat me up?"

　　　…”

The second generation of this village is in such a miserable state...

Hu Ma silently thought about the stakes. After weighing it several times, he gradually came up with an idea.
