Chapter 529 Mother-in-Law's Obsession

"Little Huma, are you okay? Just give me a squeak..."

"You bastard, don't come here to scare your second master. You are still young. I can't afford to pay for it with my life..."

"Which evil spirit is so bold that he dares to raise this evil mist to stop us, grab you and throw you into the pit..."

"Bah, bah, hey!"

"..."

Now the Second Master, Old Yangpi and others waiting outside the forest were all frightened.

Just now they were burning incense and offering offerings outside, but suddenly they heard strong winds blowing in the direction of Juehu Village, and ghosts and gods howling. Not long after, they heard thunder and thunder again, and even where they were, the sky felt cloudy. It was heavy, as if the sky had suddenly turned dark.

Just as they were worried, they heard the last roar, the earth trembled, sand and rocks flew, and they, who were a mile away from the village, were shaken by the huge movement and fell down.

It took a long time to calm down, and they saw that the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle. The depression and gloominess that came from the direction of the village earlier had dissipated, but they were just worried about how Hu Ma was doing and hurriedly came in.

But they were obviously only one mile away from Juehu Village, but they walked for a long time without reaching it. Deep in the forest, thick fog rose up from unknown time.

They groped forward in the mist, but no matter how they walked, they could not find the Juehu village that should be close at hand. Suddenly, they began to panic again. While searching, they called Hu Ma's name in the forest. Talking obscenely.

"It's coming, it's coming, Second Master, don't scold me, I'm coming out..."

Hu Ma in the village was all frightened, nodded hurriedly to the tiger, picked up the box and strode out.

Mountain people often encounter evil spirits, charming ghosts, and ghosts breaking into walls. The solution is to curse fiercely. The more fierce the curse, the easier it is to find a way, but they don't know that this time it is not evil spirits that block their way, but evil spirits. Tiger...

Seeing the filthy words being said, the tiger was a bit embarrassed by being scolded...

"oops……"

And when the anxious crowd saw Hu Ma carrying a stone box and walking out of the rapidly dissipating fog, the second master, the old sheepskin master, and the young man who followed in, suddenly looked happy and hurriedly greeted him. Come up, look around and check.

See if he is injured, his arms and legs are not intact, and someone even pinched him secretly...

...This is to see if he is dead and only one soul has come out.

When it was confirmed that Hu Ma was indeed alive and came out intact, he breathed a sigh of relief. As he was about to take the box that Hu Ma was carrying on his shoulder, the second master said excitedly: "You haven't answered me for a long time, then what? ...How is the village doing?"

"It's all settled."

Hu Ma looked at the concerned faces and replied with a smile: "The resentment in the village has been dispelled, and the people in the village have their own places to go."

"...Second Master, stop pulling. I'm carrying this box myself. You can't lift it!"

"..."

"The older this kid gets, the more arrogant he becomes..."

The second master even looked unhappy when Hu Ma said: "Who in the village with a radius of a hundred miles doesn't know that you, the second master, and I are very strong?"

"I'm holding three to five hundred kilograms of stone locks in one hand, as if I'm playing with them..."

"..."

Hu Ma didn't have any way to explain it. He understood that the second master saw that he had consumed a lot of money, his face was pale, and his steps were sloppy, so he hurriedly took over the box. But the key point was that he knew the weight of this box.

The four-pillar Taoist priest could only carry it with all his strength when he entered the mansion to stay up late. If he really handed this thing over to the second master, the old bones would be broken immediately.

"It's really...really solved..."

While he was talking to the second master, the old sheepskin uncle next to him and all the young men were stunned.

They stupidly turned their heads and looked inside. Now that the fog had dispersed, they could see clearly what was inside. There was no longer the dark and swirling wind, the panic and depressive atmosphere that made them feel nervous when they got closer, and the He heard the cries of Youxu.

What appeared in front of them was a broken but ordinary mountain village, as if there had been an earthquake.

They were not from the doorway, but with the intuition of living people, they could tell at a glance that this village was different from the previous one.

"yes."

Hu Ma nodded and said to Old Yangpi: "Juehu Village is gone. Now, there is only Shixiazi Village."

"Then this...this..."

Old Sheepskin's lips were trembling, and it was almost difficult to describe his mood at this moment.

For ten years, this desperate village has weighed heavily on the hearts of the people of Mang Village and several surrounding villages, making them breathless. The eldest girl in the village only wants to marry outside, but everyone outside knows that there is a ghost village next to Mang Village. , dare not come inside.

After a while, I'm afraid the Python Village will be gone.

Old Mr. Yangpi always dreamed of solving the problems in this village, but now, is it really solved so easily?

Looking at Hu Ma's young face, he couldn't believe his eyes for a moment...

Then, when he finally reacted, he suddenly took a deep breath, took a step back, and put a little distance away from Hu Ma. Then, with two trembling arms, he arched upward hard, and his head was strong. Knocked down to Hu Ma.

"ah?"

Hu Ma was startled. He never dared to be hit by others, let alone one at such an old age? Paying such a solemn tribute to yourself?

He was still carrying a box on his shoulder, but he hurriedly stretched out his other hand to help.

But the old sheepskin uncle was trying his best to kowtow. Before he could pull him up, the young men from Mang Village behind him saw that the old sheepskin uncle had knelt down, so they hurriedly knelt down and imitated the old sheepskin uncle and kowtowed to Hu Ma.

A large group of people knelt down at once, and even a few guys in Dayang Village did not react and knelt down hurriedly.

Until someone pulled them, they said confusedly: "I saw that they all knelt down, so I knelt down too..."

"...What can I do? I am not a nobleman, and I won't suffer any loss if I kowtow."

"..."

Hu Ma couldn't pull up so many people, and even carrying a stone box, he couldn't jump aside, but was forced to accept the kowtow. Indistinctly, he actually felt that the box on his shoulder seemed to be a little lighter.

He was slightly touched in his heart and was speechless.

Just think that these slaps were not caused by me, but by the stone box on my shoulder, or the things in the box.

The Hu family in Zhensui has always been unlucky, but being thanked like this seems to have accumulated a lot of merit.

"It was promised by my mother-in-law. I just finished what she didn't have time to do at that time. Uncle Yangpi really doesn't need to respect me so much."

With a sigh, Hu Ma said, "But no matter what, it's good to solve the problem. Second Master, Old Uncle Yangpi, let's go back to the village to talk?"

"Yes, yes, let's go back to the village and have a feast."

When Second Master saw Old Uncle Yangpi kowtow respectfully on the ground, his dark face was still very serious, but he was laughing in his heart.

He was a novice who had never learned to keep the year, while the old sheepskin uncle was a self-taught vagrant. One was stronger, the other was more famous. One wanted to learn skills when he was young, which delayed his marriage, and the other's family was too poor, so his wife had already run away with the peddler.

Although they were both rookies, the two old guys had always been very serious about pecking, and they had been fighting for their dignity both openly and secretly. Now it seems that they have won a lot, haven't they?

Therefore, their voices were louder than sesame: "Juehu Village... The matter of the stone box has been resolved, and we have to send these old neighbors away. Let's all follow us back to the village, set up a feast, and play music..."

In fact, what the second master thought was that someone with more skills than the mother-in-law appeared in Dayang Village, which was the most worthy of celebration.

In addition, the matter in Juehu Village was resolved, and the people living around it were more peaceful, which was of course worth celebrating, but the matter of the living should not be more important than the dead, so what they shouted at this time was only the matter of sending these old neighbors away.

Another point, now Xiao Huma has become successful, has great skills, and is the manager of the Blood Food Mine.

Shouldn't I help him build his reputation in advance?

What if he really wants me to bring people to the mine to help in the spring of next year, where can I go temporarily?

After all, it is my own business. If I have to bring people, I have to bring the most capable meat cutters. Usually, when I go to other people's mines, I have to bring more green hands, even if they are not familiar with the work, I can cheat them for two wages, but I don't want green hands in my own mine.

Seeing the second master shouting like this, the old sheepskin uncle also stood up and shouted: "Set up the wine, set up the wine, our village will take care of it."

The second master said: "People from our village, go to our village to drink."

The old sheepskin uncle said: "Go to your village, it is also our village that will take care of this banquet."

As he said this, everyone was excited and surrounded Hu Ma to go to Dayang Village. Some were busy digging homemade local wine from the kiln, and some went to Mang Village to catch sheep and chickens.

The elderly people were busy going to the old fire pond to burn incense, saying that the ancestors blessed the village and that capable people had emerged. The problem of the extinct village has now been successfully solved, and the whole village is very blessed!

Not only did the second master burn money himself, but he also pushed Hu Ma to kowtow to the old fire pond to comfort the spirit of the mother-in-law in heaven.

In the eyes of the old man, the things that the grandmother left behind in Shixiazi Village during her lifetime were completed by her own village after her death. This was a very respectable event, more respectable than Hu Ma's success.

How could he not tell her about this matter to make her happy?

Hu Ma certainly would not refuse. He went over to kowtow and burn incense as he was told. He just looked at the incense smoke slowly rising next to the old fire pond and felt the difference in his heart.

In fact, the grandmother was no longer in the old fire pond.

At the beginning, I was not very capable and had poor eyesight, so I didn't know clearly. Now I understand that what the grandmother left here was a soul that guarded her body and existed by obsession. Now that I have grown up and retrieved the token, the grandmother no longer has obsession and has left here.

If I want to see the grandmother, I have to go to the ancestral temple and meet her as a descendant of the Hu family.
