Twilight Boundary

Chapter 34 Who are you?

 “Mother-in-law…”

The moment Hu Ma rushed into the cave entrance, she heard Xiao Hongtang cry out anxiously.

His eyes slightly adjusted to the darkness, and he immediately saw that it was not a hole, just a shallow hole of more than one foot.

The mother-in-law is now lying in the cave, half of her body covered in blood, and her spirit is listless.

In front of her, two candles, an incense stick, and some broken bone charms and bottles were placed. The candles had almost burned out, but the light they emitted had invisible power.

Outside the candlelight range, three or five infant spirits were desperately biting inside, but they couldn't get any closer.

　　I think my mother-in-law was injured and was forced to hide in this cave. She was so anxious that she could only use this simple method to resist the infant spirit?

Hu Ma had no time to think about it. He held a knife in one hand and rushed towards the cave quickly.

At this time, behind the candlelight, the mother-in-law was already extremely weak. She raised her head with difficulty and saw Hu Ma rushing into the cave with a fierce face and a knife. She was shocked, but she was unable to do anything else and could only watch. Watching Huma approaching quickly.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

He suddenly swung the knife with all his strength, and the wind blew so hard that the candle flickered and was about to go out.

In this trance, the mother-in-law actually had a feeling of closing her eyes and waiting for death, but she did not expect that when Hu Ma slashed with the sword, the sword was powerful and full of masculinity.

The few infant spirits that were desperately trying to get close to him realized that he was powerful and turned around to pounce on him. However, under the wide open and wide swings of his machete, he killed them easily, and one by one they disappeared into the invisible. middle.

Huma then stepped forward in two steps and reached her mother-in-law. She thrust her machete into the ground and reached out to support her mother-in-law.

 “Mother-in-law, are you okay?”

　　　…”

Mother-in-law's eyes seemed to be somewhat cloudy, and she looked at Hu Ma blankly, and there seemed to be an earth-shaking, tsunami-like change in her eyes.

Hu Ma looked at her mother-in-law's sallow face and sunken eye sockets, and her heart trembled for no reason.

　　From the moment I woke up, my mother-in-law seemed eerie and terrifying, and later she seemed to be omnipotent.

 Help yourself to chant sutras to drive away evil spirits, just so that you can have a good sleep.

Helping myself cut blood Tai Sui from the mountains, which is more valuable than gold, to prolong my life.

In the end, he even went into the woods alone to find the ghost sent by the Meng family to solve his future troubles. He was obviously old, but he seemed to be strong and tireless.

 But now she is so weak.

This old man who was seriously injured and tired to this day, like a candle in the wind, actually made himself feel unreal.

 “Mother-in-law, it’s okay.”

He comforted subconsciously: "Second Master and I came to find you, and I also found... noble people from the city to help us."

Mother-in-law just looked at Hu Ma in a daze, with endless emotions surging in her eyes.

She suddenly turned over her hand, and her skinny palm grabbed Hu Ma's wrist with unusual force.

He lowered his voice and asked with great difficulty: "What on earth are you...?"

 “Shua!”

Hunting Leng Buding heard this question, Hu Ma's heart suddenly trembled, and she looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief.

At this time, my mother-in-law was very weak and no longer gave me the endless oppression and gloomy feeling she had when I first met her.

 However, this time I saw her eyes clearly.

Those dim and deep-set eyes were so clear that they seemed to see everything clearly.

 The heart thumps, thumps, beats slowly, but very loudly.

Hu Ma said slowly: "I am Hu Ma, mother-in-law..."

 “You are Huma, you are Huma…”

The mother-in-law murmured, holding the hand on Hu Ma's arm harder, and said in a low voice: "But I understand my grandson."

"How can he... be so sensible?"

　　　…”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

At this moment, Hu Ma's mind seemed to have a tremor that reached deep into his soul.

 It turns out that my mother-in-law already understood.

He couldn't help but think about the taboos told to him by the first reincarnated person he met. He also couldn't help but think about how even the nobleman from the city, with such a high status and power, didn't even dare to show the slightest provocation. Suspicion of suspicion.

 Even in front of her subordinates, if she wants to do herself a favor, she needs to arrange a show for others to see first.

 And all of this is because...

…secret!

 The biggest thing about a reincarnated person is his or her own secret. Once exposed, no matter who one is or what one’s deeds are, they will die miserably.

 In order to keep this secret, I have been walking on thin ice and cautiously.

 But my mother-in-law still saw through it.

 The second master is outside the cave. He may solve the problems outside and come in at any time.

 Xiao Hongtang was beside me, I don’t know if she heard her.

Those nobles from the city, if they got interested and came over to take a look, wouldn't they also hear about this immediately?

His palms felt slightly hot, and he felt vaguely violent in his heart.

He seemed to want to reach out and lift up the machete he had inserted next to him...

But just when this thought arose, Hu Ma noticed her mother-in-law's eyes again, and saw the deep worry and hope in those dim eyes.

 He had also seen this look in his previous life.

In this life, he is a reincarnation, and the blood relationship between himself and his mother-in-law is fake, but this look in his eyes, he cannot understand whether it is fake...

 So, his eyes slowly returned to calmness, and he stretched out his hand to place his hand on his mother-in-law's hand. Mosuo held his palms as rough as tree bark, looked into his mother-in-law's eyes, and said slowly: "I am Hu Ma, mother-in-law."

"I just remembered some things before reincarnation, and forgot some things in this life."

 “But I remember, you are my mother-in-law...”

　　　…”

Mother-in-law stared at Hu Ma, her pupils seemed to be slightly opened. For a long time, Hu Ma suddenly saw that those eyes were filled with endless joy.

 She sat up slowly, her dim eyes glowing with a strange look.

 She was completely different from the old man just now. She was still so powerful, mysterious, and unpredictable, but there was a loving light in her eyes.

 “Yes, my little grandson...”

The mother-in-law held his hand hard, as if she was afraid that he would run away, and her voice trembled: "You are my little grandson, and my little grandson is sensible..."

“God is wise, our Hu family has suffered disasters, but our Hu family has not become extinct in the end..."

　　　…”

　　　…”

"I…"

Hu Ma was suddenly shocked when her mother-in-law held her hand, and she faintly broke into a cold sweat.

Mother-in-law, she...

He couldn't explain the feeling in detail, but he clearly realized that the mother-in-law in his eyes just now seemed to have only one breath left, like a candle in the wind, so he couldn't bear it and said something to comfort him that he didn't quite believe.

But it was only now that he realized that his mother-in-law was not what he thought. She may be tired, but she has not become weak at all.

 So, that was actually...

 …temptation?

He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if he really had murderous intentions at that moment.

 “Don’t be afraid, my grandson…”

Seeing Hu Ma like this, her mother-in-law showed a comforting smile on her face, gently stroked his head, and whispered: "I actually knew that you were different from before. When you were just recruited back, I knew it even before I was conscious..."

Hu Ma didn't know how to answer, and there was an unavoidable look of fear in her eyes.

But at this time, his mother-in-law looked at him with unprecedented affection. She held his hand and said in a low voice: "But I have never doubted that you are not my grandson, because I personally raised you After recruiting someone back, I know I didn’t recruit the wrong person.”

This answer caught Huma by surprise, and she didn’t know how to answer it for a moment.

The mother-in-law looked at his expression and seemed to be even more intolerant. She sighed softly and said, "The soul is right, the horoscope is right, and even the destiny is right. If you are not my grandson, who else is?"

"It's just that after all, you have gone to the gate of **** for a while, and if I force you to come back, there will always be some problems."

"But I can't blame you for this problem..."

　　　…”

She spoke slowly, with a deep sense of guilt in her eyes: "It's my mother-in-law's fault. It's because she didn't protect you well. It was too late when she found you..."

 “Like…”

She looked slowly outside the cave, paused slightly, and then whispered for a long time: "Just like the doll on the locust tree."

“They have experienced the suffering of reincarnation before they know anything, so who can they blame?

　　　…”

Hearing what she said, Hu Ma's scalp suddenly became numb.

　　What I said to her earlier was really intended to comfort the old man. She couldn't bear to suffer such a blow again because she was overworked.

 But at this moment, he suddenly realized that he was the one who seemed to be unable to understand these things.

Mother-in-law has long since determined her identity from other aspects, but she just doesn’t quite understand why she has such a change.

So, who exactly are you?

 “Mother-in-law, how are you?”

At this time, there were rapid and heavy footsteps outside the cave, and the second master rushed into the cave, panting heavily.

His forehead was covered in blood and there was a big bump on it, which looked a bit funny.

"ah?

As soon as he looked up, he saw Hu Ma holding her mother-in-law's hand, and her mother-in-law half leaning on the cave wall. She couldn't help but exclaimed, and hurriedly took two steps, raising her hands high, but nothing happened. Not daring to touch it, he said in a trembling voice:

 “Are you… okay?”

　　　…”

“Boy, you are making so much noise, it gives me a headache...”

The mother-in-law seemed to be in a good mood. She looked at the second master with a bit of teasing: "Although the guy sent by the Meng family is powerful, I can still deal with it. Why are you so rash and insist on taking him with you?" , came to such a dangerous place to find me?"

"this…"

The second master was startled when he heard this, and said sarcastically: "You can't blame me, he must come."

“When he heard that something happened to you, you looked at how anxious he was…”

　　　…”

"yes…"

The mother-in-law narrowed her eyes happily when she heard the second master's praise: "My grandson was still young and didn't grow up."

She sighed slowly and leaned against the stone wall. Her eyes, just looking at Hu Ma, seemed to be full of joy. She said softly: "Second brother, you are such a big man, crying in front of me. It's not like that." Look."

"You wait outside for a while. I have something else I want to tell my grandson."
