MTL - Twilight Boundary

Chapter 44 Rules in the Village

 The unexpected result made the surrounding area suddenly quiet, and all the villagers were somewhat unable to react.

It was Cui Xie'er who was beside Hu Ma. He was stunned for a long time, then suddenly lost his composure and shouted loudly: "No, you are not right."

 “You’re not fair, you’re not fair!”

　　　…”

It seemed that this voice woke up everyone, and they all looked at him with great concern.

But the fat steward just smiled and said to Cui Xie'er: "My child, how is it unfair?"

Cui Xie'er also shouted that sentence before she realized that she had lost her composure. But now that it was over, she could only hold her hair and shout: "I am the one with the most enthusiasm, I... I practice better than them all, no." They all should have chosen it, but I didn’t..."

Even the second master next to him was hesitant to speak.

To be honest, Cui Xie'er is indeed the one who has been with him the longest among this group of teenagers, and is also the most enthusiastic.

 As for flax…

 …There is no comparison, not even the second master himself can compare with him.

But before the second master could help with persuasion, the steward burst out laughing. He looked extremely kind, spoke unhurriedly, but was naturally magnanimous, and said with a smile: "That's good. "

"I can also see that among these young men, you should be the one who has been lighting the stove for the longest time, and you have put in quite a lot of effort. But, sir, if I read it right, you were attacked by an evil spirit not long ago, right?"

“The fire is no longer pure. It’s better to go back and adjust it. Let’s wait until next year!”

　　　…”

"I…"

At first Cui Xie'er was dissatisfied no matter what he said, but when he mentioned this matter, he suddenly turned pale.

His lips trembled, and his eyes were full of malice as he looked at Hu Ma fiercely.

Hu Ma, on the other hand, understood clearly but turned a blind eye to him and turned his head to talk to Zhou Datong.

"oops…"

After such a delay, the Cui family also reacted and hurriedly crowded forward. The Cui family's third son was in the crowd just now and did not listen carefully to the words of the steward. Now he is still unconvinced and shouts: "No matter what, our Scorpion son He’s better than the Hu boy, right?”

“He has only been with the second master for less than a month...”

　　　…”

The eldest son of the Cui family glared at the third child. Seeing that there were many people around him, he squeezed to the steward's side with a smile on his face and said in a low voice:

“Master Steward, do you think we can take a step to talk?”

　　　…”

The steward looked kind, but he just smiled and didn't move.

They were so arrogant and ruthless: I am the steward of the Red Light Club, why should I lend you this step?

He just looked up at the sky and said to the Dayangzhai villagers who were crowded in the village: "I came to our Dayangzhai village to see the children, and it was just a drop-in. I also had to go to Master Taisui's place to burn incense and give us a red light. Hang up the lanterns."

“We don’t have time to get close to the folks in our village right now. If you have anything to do, just talk to the clan elders!”

“I just need to see the five children sent over by our village before the 28th of this month.”

　　　…”

With that said, he lifted up the front of his clothes and left Zhuangzi. He didn't accept the lunch left by the clan leader and went straight to ride on the donkey.

 The steward wanted to leave, but the Cui family did not dare to stop him. They hurriedly gathered around the clan leader, talking in a variety of ways.

In other places, except for Hu Ma and Zhou Datong, the other three selected children were confused, but the adults in their families were full of joy and joy. They came over and hugged the children and looked around. They were happy no matter how they looked. .

Some people immediately took their children’s hands and went to Laohutangzi to thank their ancestors for their shelter. Others greeted their neighbors and invited them to have dinner and drinks in the evening.

 Looking at this posture, it is as festive as the children in the village who were admitted to college in the previous life.

 “You’re such a lucky boy…”

The second master also came over, touched Hu Ma's head, and sighed: "I know you are high-minded and don't want to live by praying to Tai Sui. You want to learn your skills. Who would have thought that you would really have a chance to join the Blood Food Gang? "

 He knew how good flax was, so he was not surprised at all that he was chosen.

I just lamented that Hu Ma was lucky. Earlier, this boy had been asking me this and that. It was obvious that he wanted to learn the skills, but I couldn't teach him. Moreover, the lady knew how to do it. She didn't just get into it, but it happened to be The opportunity has come.

Hu Ma smiled and said, "It's all thanks to your teachings, Second Master."

The second master was all smiles when he heard this. He didn’t know how to praise Hu Ma. He suddenly turned around and kicked Zhou Datong:

 “You are better off, meeting a good grandpa.”

　　　…”

　　"Praise him if you praise him, why are you kicking me..."

 Zhou Datong rubbed his buttocks, thinking that I am not the only lazy person in Zhuangzi...

 “Chief, this is wrong...”

At this same time, the Cui family had already pulled the patriarch to the wall, talking anxiously and angrily.

“Our Xie’er has been with the second master for almost three years, and the heat is definitely the best.”

“Yes, everyone else can choose it, why can’t I choose it?”

　　　…”

The patriarch was surrounded, and he was also dizzy. He said, "What on earth is going on that you don't know yet?"

“Didn’t Second Master say some time ago that your scorpion son was indeed attacked by evil spirits? So what can be done?”

"..."   Cui Xie'er bumped into the white-faced mountain leader before, and the second master specially sent him back to the village to recuperate for a few days. The Cui family naturally understood, but now they are unwilling to accept it, and said anxiously: "We were rushed over, then we Go find my mother-in-law..."

Suddenly he thought that his mother-in-law was dead, so he paused and then said, "Let's go find the old man Yangpi from Mang Village to nurse him back to health, but we can't miss this."

"How many years has it been since the Queen's Association opened its altar? How can you bear to see your nephew and grandson miss it like this?"

　　　…”

The patriarch also felt confused after hearing this, and said: "What can we do? The master in charge has already chosen, how can we dare to interrupt?"

“What if I offend the steward and he doesn’t want any of the children in the village?”

　　　…”

The Cui family became even more panicked when they heard this. The eldest brother of the Cui family asked the brothers to calm down and said: "Listen to me, didn't the steward tell me to listen to you? When we go to the red light club, we must give the best. If the scorpion is stuffed in, won't it be enough to take it out if the heat is too low?"

When the patriarch heard this, his face suddenly changed: "My family in Datong is not the worst."

The Cui family members suddenly looked embarrassed and hurriedly said: "I didn't mention Datong. This kid from Datong... is so diligent, of course it's good."

He is the patriarch of the clan after all. Even the Cui family would not dare to object to him letting his grandson in on such an opportunity.

Just by looking at the few ones I selected, they are all not easy to mess with.

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Then the Hu boy has only been up the mountain for less than a month, right?"

"How could he be chosen? I wonder if the second master secretly spoke for him in front of the steward?"

　　　…”

The patriarch couldn’t help but frown when he heard this.

 He also felt that maybe the second master secretly greeted the master in charge.

 First of all, it was really late to go up the mountain for sesame, and this kid was a good hunter before, but he didn’t look like he had any future.

In addition, when the steward was testing his temper, he would let go at the first touch, which was obviously a bit perfunctory.

Seeing that the patriarch didn't say anything in a hurry, the Cui family boss said hurriedly: "I think it's better to let my Xie'er take over. He's old and sensible. When he gets to the Queen's Association, he can still take care of Datong and the few children in the village. "

"Otherwise, the past five were all ignorant. They might have caused some trouble, and they might have been kicked back..."

Upon hearing this, the old patriarch became even more hesitant.

Speaking of causing trouble, one of the people in this village is his grandson, and the other one is the boy from the Hu family, right?

The second eldest son of the Cui family noticed the hesitation of the old patriarch, and hurriedly whispered a few words to the old patriarch. There were vague words such as "half a tank of Tai Sui" and "golden barley", which made the old patriarch look a little confused. Surprised, seems obviously a little tempted...

Then in the warm eyes of the Cui family, he said in surprise: "Does your family still hide such a good thing?"

The second eldest son of the Cui family smiled and said nothing, and asked diligently, "What do you think?"

"very good…"

The old patriarch smiled and suddenly said: "With so many good things, why do you want to go to the city to do some work? Why don't you just leave Cui Wazi to find a wife?"

“Let’s leave this matter of entering the Queen’s Association to Xiao Huma...”

　　　…”

The Cui family was stunned on the spot, unable to react.

 “What are they talking about?”

Hu Ma also saw the Cui family chattering around the clan leader from a distance, and asked curiously.

The second master snorted coldly and said, "It must be nothing good. I never like the domineering behavior of the Cui family."

"But there's nothing we can do about it. It's always been like this in our village. Whoever has more sons will be more powerful. Grandma Cui's family is amazing. She gave birth to five sons. Although one of them died when she was young, she is now everyone in the village. "

“You must remember your mother-in-law’s words, go to the Red Lantern Festival, learn your skills as soon as possible, marry a wife and have children, the more children the better, your mother-in-law is waiting for you in the pond!”

　　　…”

I didn’t expect that at the age of sixteen in this world, I would be urged to get married.

Hu Ma could only smile, and then caught the key point, and said: "If you learn the skills of the empress, you don't have to keep your virginity intact?"

"of course."

The second master glared at him and said, "Which of the stewards and shopkeepers of the Queen's Association doesn't have several wives?"

 “My skills are really great!”

“They came to the village and picked you boys to enter the village because you have a clean sheet of paper and a good background, so it’s better to teach you skills, but there are no rules that prevent you from losing your virginity.”

"When you enter the Queen's Association, behave well, and become a steward, or more promising, become a shopkeeper, there will be special blood and food for you. If you have enough blood and food, you can't learn any skills. good?"

“Even if you only work as a boy for a few years, when you return to the village in the future, even the clan leader will have to look at you highly..."

　　　…”

Hearing this, Hu Ma felt a little moved. He paused for a moment and said, "What about the ability of the New Year's Watcher?"

"Eh?"

 The second master was slightly startled when he heard him say these three words, and then he realized that this must have been mentioned to him by his mother-in-law.

Sighing and waving his hands, he said: "You are just a high-spirited boy. There is indeed such a thing in the Queen's Association. Once you learn it, you don't need to seal the furnace, but it is not so easy. I have been waiting for your second master all my life... "

Hu Ma had a vague feeling, why did the second master seem to be unhappy when he heard about this?
