MTL - Twilight Boundary-Chapter 367 Keeping the year old
Chapter 367: Keeping the New Year’s Eve Inherited
It’s not that Hu Ma doesn’t know the rules and is willing to abide by the rules of the world, making people smile in everything, but now, she doesn’t want to give in.
After all, I came here on behalf of the Red Lantern Lady, but these disciples of the evil ghost in blue didn't talk about the rules and didn't meet each other, so they first used a set of underhanded tricks and wasted my life. The horse asked for it, but why don't you feel angry?
And his roar implies the unique skill of the Five Thunder Golden Toad roar, which is so powerful.
Even the entire valley where the Blood Food Mine is located suddenly reverberated like muffled thunder, and the pressure suddenly rose. In the distant forest, a group of local birds were alarmed and flew into the night sky.
These meat cutters, who had looked fierce just now, all knew how powerful they were. They were immediately filled with awe and took a few steps back. They also put down the forks and meat cutters they were holding in their hands, not daring to point directly at the flax.
But surprisingly, they still crowded in front of the village gate. Although they did not dare to be aggressive, they were still unwilling to retreat and looked hesitant.
“Get out of the way...”
But at this moment, a deep voice sounded in the valley, and in the light of the swaying torch, a tall man wearing black cloth clothes, leggings, and a piece of white cloth tied on his forehead, brought two Individuals walked out.
He has a huge frame and a thin figure. When walking in the valley, he is a head taller than the meat cutters next to him. He is very powerful, and the meat cutters around him immediately get out of the way.
Some people couldn't help but call him out: "Boss Cui, look at this..."
Hu Ma also glanced at this man and knew in his heart that this was the head of the Blood Food Mine here?
I came here just to grab food from this person. Of course, I also asked Xu Xiangzhu about this person's details.
But the man's eyebrows were gloomy, but he was silent for a moment and said: "I don't dare. If you want to come, come over!"
The mine leader surnamed Zhuang nodded and said: "I didn't know you were coming, but I didn't expect you to come far away. However, the things that should be handed in were handed in a few months ago, and the accounts are clear. Now that you are coming here, you are here again." What do you want to do?”
Now that he saw the real master appearing, he just sneered and looked at him.
What I said was not polite, and I was not afraid of offending him.
This man's surname is Zhuang, and his given name is Zhuang Erchang. He was originally a member of the Tsing Yi Gang, and now he is also a member of the Red Lantern Lady Guild in name. He is also a year-old watcher. It is said that he is quite capable and he revitalized the five internal organs a few years ago.
As he spoke, he turned sideways and motioned for Hu Ma and others to come in. He was followed by two disciples, as well as the meat cutters who were crowding around the door, carrying guys in their hands. All of them looked at them with unkind expressions. It's quite a bit stressful.
“No need to say more…”
Hu Ma faced him straight and said calmly: "The evil ghost in blue is dead. The blood food mine in his name belongs to our Red Lantern Society. On behalf of the Red Lantern Lady, we came here to take a look. Is there any problem?"
"polite."
…”
“I don’t know what to call it?”
Being able to guard this mine for so many years, he must have a unique skill, but he doesn’t know it in such detail. The Red Lantern Society has taken over the territory of the Tsing Yi Gang, and they have to re-register their subordinates, but they are not stupid either. , will not tell the truth honestly.
“It turns out to be Mr. Hu.”
The surrounding meat cutters who were eyeing him eagerly became commotion again when they heard this. However, they had just seen Hu Ma's ability, and now there were only a few who dared to pick up the guy and look at him.
This man came close, and the people next to him made way for him.
But no matter what unique skills he has in his hands, Hu Ma first confirmed his abilities on the surface, and then he felt relieved when he had the details to compete with him.
Hu Ma hugged him and said, "My surname is Hu."
…”
"What's the matter? The leader of the mine is not polite. Now he regards the blood mine as his own and has guarded the door to prevent us from entering?"
He first raised his hand to stop the murmurs among the miners around him, and then looked at Hu Ma up and down with indifferent eyes and said, "Will the red light come?"
But Hu Ma ignored him, lifted up his gown, and walked in.
Not only him, but Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu and others also have the ability, and they will not be timid in such a small battle. They followed Hu Ma into the valley with big strides, holding out their chests, looking left and right, as if they were entering. No one's land.
The old abacus was obviously timid, but he was sitting on the donkey cart. The donkey followed Hu Ma closely, for fear of being left behind, so he was pulled in.
Only the horse at the door turned his head silently and glanced at Hu Ma and others who entered the valley, and then turned his head again.
Close your eyes and continue to brew the feeling that you were about to die just now...
…
“There’s obviously something wrong with this blood food mineral…”
Hu Ma thought to himself, not to mention that he had already been blocked by others before he entered the mine. It was obvious that he had something on his mind. When he came in and took a look, the problems in the mine became more obvious:
Now that the Tai Sui harvesting season has passed, the meat cutters should go back to their hometowns to work on the farm. But they are still here. Do they not need to be paid for their work day by day?
Besides, meat cutters are here to cut meat and earn money. They only care about getting a few taels of silver to go back to build a small building and marry a wife. This is great for you, but how can you train like the people under you?
Rebellion?
Thinking silently in my heart, without rushing to speak, I walked all the way through the valley and came to a row of rough wooden halls. There were fire pots lit on both sides, exuding the unique smell of black ointment. There were some animal skins and other objects hanging on the wall. It had a rough temperament. It didn't look like a blood food mine, but more like a cottage. After entering the hall and sitting down, Behind the other party stood a row of strong and fierce people, which looked more like...
“When the steward of the meeting comes, don’t be rude.”
The head of the mine led the people into the hall and said in a cold voice: "Go and prepare a table for them to wash their hands."
The people behind him heard this and looked at each other with a look of dissatisfaction on their faces, but they still listened to his words, glared at Hu Ma and the others, and left.
They stared at them, and Zhou Datong also glared and went back. He secretly scolded the mine workers for not following the rules and eating at the table, just like cutting meat?
The head of the mine Zhuang just gave the order, and then turned to Hu Ma and said, "Since the meeting wants the steward to come over and have a look, but I don't know what I want to see?"
“I’ve seen the blood food and account books you handed over today, and I have a few questions for you.”
Hu Ma was not polite and said directly and coldly: "The blood food mine in Huoziling used to belong to the Tsing Yi Gang. We got the Tsing Yi Gang's accounts and looked at them carefully, but we didn't understand them very well."
"How many kilograms of blood food could be produced every year in the past? Why is it that now that you have joined the Red Lantern Society, the output has suddenly decreased? A few months ago, the society asked you to go to Fucheng, Mingzhou, to hand over the accounts in person, why don't you Go and only send an apprentice?"
“Furthermore, blood Taisui is scarce this year, and twenty kilograms have been handed over to you, but you haven’t even handed over any of it. You haven’t even given me an explanation. What’s the point?”
“I’d like to hear your answer to these questions. If you don’t have an explanation, I’ll look at you as the mine boss, hehe...”
“Just don’t do it!”
…”
While talking, Hu Ma just looked at the other person's face coldly, and half of the words were left unsaid.
Even if you have an explanation, you’d better not do it.
We came here to take over, and it was ordered by Master Xu Xiang. Master Xu Xiang is so smart. If he wants to find fault with you, why should you not be allowed to argue again?
Of course, if he does things in normal times, Hu Ma won't be so aggressive. People in the world are all about being friendly and making money, so even if you say something unpleasant, you have to say it in a nice way.
But this time we come here, but this blood food mine is not particular about it. Before we entered the mine, you have already used dirty tricks to attract us. So why should I show you shame? It is better to say it directly to the other party's face.
"you…"
As expected, the leader of the village and mine was a little angry, and the two apprentices behind him were even more furious.
These questions are simply making things difficult for people. The Blood Food Mine is divided into big and small years. Isn’t it normal for the output to fluctuate?
As for handing over the accounts, it is purely a formality, and besides, I am not familiar with everyone in the Red Lantern Society. It is enough to find an apprentice to go over and explain it to me. Do I have to go myself? You, the Red Lantern Club, can't really think of yourself as officials, can you?
As for the twenty kilograms of Tai Sui blood distributed, it’s even more nonsense...
Even if I want to give it, it must have it...
But faced with such aggressive words, the owner of the village and mine actually endured it, turned his head and glared at the two disciples, signaling them not to talk nonsense.
He frowned and looked at Hu Ma, and suddenly said: "Manager Hu, I can see that everyone is a year-old person. It seems that they are in the same sect, not outsiders."
“I am under the tutelage of Mr. Sun from Tieqiao, Liu County, Gunzhou. I am his disciple who entered the house. I don’t know what to do with you...”
…”
"Huh?"
Hu Ma found it a bit funny.
This village and mine leader is very knowledgeable. Seeing that it is difficult to tell the things in the Red Lantern Club's books, he has established a relationship with himself in the inheritance of the New Year's Watcher.
This was a good idea. When he saw that Hu Ma had an aggressive attitude and used the status of the Red Lantern Society to oppress people, he knew that this incident would not be easy to deal with.
So he simply did not mention the Red Lantern Club and now borrowed the inheritance of the old man to build friendship.
The ability of a watcher is often passed down from master to apprentice, and there are only a few people who are truly capable in the sect. Maybe they have met each other before and have friendships, and the higher they go up, the closer they get. Even in the end, we can all count down to the same ancestor.
Moreover, Mingzhou and Gunzhou are adjacent, and the world is so big. Maybe the two sides really talked about their seniority. When they talked about their writings, they talked about the friendship between the two teachers. Following such a discussion, then the relationship between everyone is also Even if there is a friendship.
If there is a friendship, then Hu Ma should not go too far when discussing anything with the mine. At least he should consider the face of his elders.
His method is actually spiritual, but it is a pity that in this matter, he encountered Hu Ma.
He also smiled, pointed at Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu, and said calmly: "We senior brothers all learned our skills from Master Zhou in Laoyin Mountain. What advice can the mine leader give?"
Zhuang Mine Chief was startled and said hurriedly: "I have admired you for a long time..."
