Twilight Boundary

"It's appropriate to call you Uncle Sheng."

Looking at Hu Ma's expression, he seemed a little surprised, but Mr. Sun next to him smiled and said: "This is my youngest son. We are equals. When he meets you, what will you call him if you don't call him uncle?"

"You are so good at it, so don't pretend to be a junior. If I take advantage of you today and become a generation older than you, how will you describe your seniority when I meet your master in the future?"

"..."

Hu Ma was speechless when she heard this: "This is quite clear..."

Although it always feels weird to be called uncle by someone older than you, but since he is so sincere, then let's just do it!

Hu Ma knew what Mr. Sun was here for, so he hurriedly invited him into the valley. Mr. Sun brought four or five carriages, three of which were empty, and the other two were towed with various gifts. Just let the gifts go inside, and other empty cars are waiting.

When they arrived at the valley, they were not in a hurry to enter the valley. Hu Ma took them first. Turning to the side, they saw several coffins on the slope from a distance. They were the people who taught Yiqian before. They all calmed down. it's here.

Mr. Sun sighed, and his son next to him hurriedly brought people up to offer incense. Then he opened the coffin, verified that it was correct, and then burned paper money in front of the coffin.

"Guanshi Hu is so kind..."

Mr. Sun came here to transport back the corpses of the two disciples who had been left in the valley and the three members of Yiqian Cult.

When he left earlier, he had to take care of the living people, so he only took away the Dharma King and Zhuang Erchang. However, the bones of these dead people had to be recovered and returned to their relatives, so that they could be buried in peace. , worship at all times.

I was originally worried when I came here and saw the corpses exposed in the wilderness or had been burned, but I didn't expect that they were all contained in coffins. There were even traces of burning paper and incense next to them, but I was suddenly moved. stand up.

My own family members were buried here, but they buried them well. Not to mention repaying evil with kindness, it was a great kindness.

"They were all running around in the world just to make ends meet. They lost their lives because of bad luck. No matter what the grudges were earlier, the dead are always the most important. Besides, they also fell into the hands of witches, didn't they?"

Hu Ma said politely: "So, I restrained myself from the beginning and didn't let them suffer. I just waited for the old gentleman to pick him up."

"People in the rivers and lakes are destined to be in the rivers and lakes. What Manager Hu said is good. I feel ashamed. If I had known that there was someone like you in this mine, I would never have been able to come and wade through this muddy water..."

Mr. Sun actually gave Hu Ma a long bow, and then ordered someone to call in several carriages from outside the forest, put the coffins on the carriages, and prepare to transport them back.

"It's like we don't know each other until we fight."

Hu Ma smiled and said: "Old gentleman, you are not in a hurry to leave. Since you are here, you still need some drinks."

After saying that, he invited him to enter the valley. Mr. Sun did not refuse at all. He followed Hu Ma in happily. However, before entering the valley, he first saw the red lantern on the archway, but he also hurriedly stood down and said: "Etiquette is indispensable."

After saying that, he bowed respectfully, called his son over, and ordered him to kneel down and kowtow to the Red Lantern Queen.

After entering the valley, they first served tea, and then ordered people to make rice. After a while, four tables were set up, but it was Hu Ma and Mr. Sun at the same table. Old Abacus was accompanying him, and Zhou Datong, Liang and Zhu were accompanying Mr. Sun. Their son sat at a table with the chief steward who came with them.

The other servants sat at a table with a few old craftsmen who had recently been selected by the meat-cutting craftsmen for their eye-sightedness and eloquence. All the wine, vegetables and fruits in the valley were put on the table.

Mr. Sun glanced at the table calmly and raised his glass again to apologize: "Earlier, I was abrupt and offended the majesty of our Lady of the Red Lantern. I hope Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu, will not be offended."

"Eh?"

Hu Ma was a little surprised: 'This matter has been discussed clearly, why does he bring it up again?'

The old abacus next to him coughed, stretched out his chopsticks to tap on the plate, and said with a wry smile: "The table is a bit shabby, but old sir, don't blame our mine for being lazy..."

"It has something to do with the disciples. Earlier, the witches closed the mines, and the food from outside could not be brought in. I almost ran out of rice to cook. In the past two days, I still took the cash and ran to the nearby village. I just bought this little ration here..."

"Besides, I don't know if I heard this, but a corpse demon ran out of the mine a while ago, and we've been looking for it recently!"

"..."

Only then did Hu Ma realize. It turned out that the reason why Mr. Sun came to accompany him again was because he felt that the dishes were a bit shabby. He was not greedy. He just thought that the mine had deliberately arranged such a table for him to provide him with eye drops!

But being able to guess his thoughts requires a lot of expertise, but Lao Abacus is better at it than he is.

"It's all my fault that Zhuang Erchang doesn't live up to expectations..."

Sure enough, when Mr. Sun heard that, it turned out that there was really a shortage of things in the mine, and it was not that he had deliberately made it so shabby, he felt relieved.

First, he sighed lowly and said: "I brought him back and he was seriously injured. I also sent him to Mingzhou Caoxin Hall for medical treatment. Otherwise, I would have to drag him to the mine and kowtow to admit his mistake." .”

"As for the corpse demon, I actually heard about it a few days ago. To be honest, I plan to pay some money and have people search for it in the mountains. After all, it was Zhuang Erchang who caused the trouble, and it was my disciple and grandson who was in trouble. We can’t let our mine take risks.”

"..."

"It doesn't matter."

Hu Ma, who understood, also secretly praised Old Abacus in his heart, and took over the conversation: "It's just that the old gentleman must have an explanation for this corpse demon matter."

"Seriously, if this thing hadn't come from the mine, and our red lantern lady above..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the red lantern on the archway outside, lowered his voice and said, "...be careful and keep an eye on it."

"When the old gentleman came last time, I let the old gentleman take a look at the things in the mineral vein. Now that the things in the mineral vein have escaped, I originally wanted to tell the old gentleman to avoid any misunderstanding. !”

"..."

"Oops..."

Mr. Sun's beard trembled when he heard this. He picked up the wine glass with both hands and said, "Where did Mr. Hu's words come from?"

"Everyone has his own master, it is natural. Besides, it was a misunderstanding in the first place. Let alone me, even the Dharma King of Yiqian Sect only said it was the fault of those witches when he returned. We and your mine are all the same. You’ve suffered a loss!”

"It's all because of the skill of the people in the mine and the magic power of the Red Lantern Lady that we were able to control those witches. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of disaster it would have caused..."

"..."

He knew very well in his heart that according to what he did last time, it was actually the people on his side who suffered a huge defeat.

In the world of martial arts, everyone talks about favors, but in the end, it’s all about fists. People in the mines have big fists, and if you think about it afterwards and give face like this, you are taking care of your own reputation...

Of course, as far as Hu Ma is concerned, if he can resolve this grudge with just one sentence, it is something he can't ask for. Anyway, General Yin has run away, and our mine has suffered a "big loss", so he has no intention of having a grudge with Yiqian Cult again. , thanks to panic?

"Just say it, it's okay, just say it..."

The old abacus was beating the drum next to him, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "We don't have enough food in the mine, but the wine is not discounted. Since the old gentleman is here, he should have a few more drinks before going back."

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Everyone was elated for a moment. Mr. Sun, after finishing his glass, suddenly slammed the table and said, "Seventh, why don't you come in?"

The seventh boy from the Sun family, who was being drunk by Zhou Datong and others outside, wiped his lips quickly, ran in and saluted Uncle Hu and Uncle Abacus, and then said with a smile: "Dad, I did something wrong again, and I offended you again. Does the old man curse?"

"What's wrong?"

Mr. Sun glared at him and said, "I'm scolding you for your lack of expression."

"I didn't see that there was a shortage of food in Uncle Hu's mine. It's your senior brother Zhuang who did a good job and left such a mess. Now that you know it, why don't you go and resettle it?"

"..."

"Eh?"

Hu Ma was a little surprised. Does this old gentleman still have channels to solve the shortage in this mine?

This really solved the urgent need. I hurriedly toasted to Mr. Sun and continued drinking. Unexpectedly, the seventh son of the Sun family came back before it was time to have tea and reported: "The arrangements have been made."

"I sent the letter to the little messenger. Our company happened to have a team of mules and horses nearby. There were one hundred dans of fine grain and twenty pigs and sheep on the car. I asked them to send them to the mine here first. Two We can get here within a few days, and I think it will be enough to support Uncle Hu's mine for a few days."

"..."

"What the hell?"

Seeing the sincerity on the face of the seventh child of the Sun family, Mr. Sun nodded as if he didn't take it seriously, but Hu Ma was immediately surprised.

Such a lot of food is not just for support, it is enough for three to five months.

The Sun family just asked the little messenger to come over?

"Oh, it's nothing."

Mr. Sun didn't seem to take it seriously on the surface, but he was happy to see his son doing things well, but he waved his hands and said: "We have capable people, who cares about this little thing?"

"My old man is a martial arts practitioner, but he has given birth to several sons, but he is not up to par. Not many can imitate me. I am very good at making money and doing business. Now, with the support of my friends in the world, I have raised a few. The mule and horse team bought a few acres of land and built a few warehouses.”

"You're welcome, Manager Hu. From now on, if you come to the mine and you need money and food, just let him run the errands. This will also allow him to come to the mine more often and learn from you."

"..."

As he said that, he suddenly lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Not only this money and food, if you need salt and iron talismans, if you just tell me, we won't be short of it."

"I am also in charge of the salt and iron business from Liu County to Shi County in Gunzhou..."

"..."

"Ah this..."

When Leng Buding heard this, Hu Ma was really impressed. He didn't expect that Mr. Sun was not only a man who stayed in the house to watch the New Year's Eve, he was also an expert in the family, and he was also a local tycoon with a huge wealth?
