Twilight Boundary

Chapter 82: Shooting flowers and catching dolls

When we met in the afternoon, Hu Ma felt that there was something wrong with the salesman. How could he be so kind in his petty profit business?

In addition, as he approached lightly, he also vaguely saw that when the salesman was giving candy to the dolls, his palm brushed over the head of a doll intentionally or unintentionally, as if he had pulled out a hair from his hand.

Although he was far away at the time and couldn't see clearly, Hu Ma had suffered such a loss in the village. His body, hair, skin, and common objects could all be manipulated by others, so how could he not pay attention?

 It's just that I didn't really see it clearly. It's possible that this person is just a salesman.

If he hurriedly went back to the village to call for someone and caused a big fuss, the other party might see that the situation was not good and withdraw his hand. Then he would be the one who would be covered in trouble, so he would quietly stay here and watch. See if there is really any problem.

Once the problem is determined, quickly send Xiao Hongtang back to report the matter.

Wake up Zhou Datong, not expecting him to help, but asking him to quickly go into the inner courtyard and call the shopkeeper.

　　When the road is uneven, he must take care of it, but he has no intention of going on it himself.

Being a chivalrous person is a good thing and a merit, so this kind of merit needs to be earned by everyone together.

Having determined that there was something wrong with the salesman, he was not in a hurry to say anything. He just quietly followed the group of children. They staggered and staggered out of the village, looking like a few clumsy little animals under the dim moonlight.

About a stick of incense later, I had already reached the dirt road outside Zhuangzi. From a distance, I saw a two-wheeled wooden cart pulled by people parked there. There was a man standing beside the cart, shaking a rattle in his hand.

It was the salesman during the day, but his face was painted pale and there was a stiff smile on his face.

There is something indescribably strange in this silent night.

 When he saw the dolls coming to him, the smile on his face became even warmer and the rattle in his hand shook more cheerfully.

But the obvious rattle is shaking faster, but the sound is still subtle and undetectable, and I don’t know what the principle is.

Hu Ma stopped and watched in the shadow of the tree on the roadside, and saw him shaking the rattle and dancing around the car, jumping and shaking in a circle.

 The little baby seemed to be following his example, stretching out its two little hands and following him in circles.

After completing a circle, the salesman stood aside, looked at the children with a smile, and climbed up to the car.

Hu Ma looked intently and vaguely realized that what was placed on the car seemed to be a dark coffin. The lid of the coffin was half opened, revealing a dark hole. The dolls did not know how to be afraid and clumsily climbed up. Carriage, get into the coffin.

“I heard from the second master before that there are some evil demons who will disguise themselves as salesmen and lend money to knifemakers. They will go around the streets and alleys to lure women and dolls, and then sell them to kilns or dental shops to make money.”

“This kind of monster is not very capable, but he is very good at evil tricks. He can shoot flowers to drive away souls. He is the most despicable thing in the world..."

 “Look, the salesman I met today is also of this type.”

　　　…”

Looking in the direction of Zhuangzi, there was no movement, and Xiao Hongtang didn't come back either.

Logically speaking, one shouldn’t rush to take action, but Hu Ma couldn’t guess what was in the coffin. What would happen if the dolls got in?

 “Stretch him first…”

Having made a decision in his mind, he suddenly cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Business is so good, why are you so busy buying goods at night?"

 “Shua!”

 At this time of complete silence, Hu Ma's voice was extremely loud.

The salesman was also suddenly startled. The rattle in his hand immediately stopped, and the dolls' movements also stopped.

After listening for a long time, the salesman suddenly looked in the direction of Huma and said, "Which of my friends in the world, why don't you come out and meet me?"

 “There are some ways!”

Hu Ma's heart skipped a beat. How could he actually see himself at a glance from such a distance?

Feeling secretly wary, he walked out from the shadow under the tree, walked forward slowly, and said with a smile: "I just saw you during the day and you forgot about it?"

The salesman kept his body tense and still, but when he saw Hu Ma getting closer, his eyes flashed and he recognized him.

With a smile on his face, he said: "It turns out to be the steward on the cabinet. I was shocked."

“You are in a good mood this late at night, and you even went out for a walk, but we don’t have any grudges. Your mother-in-law will cut off your blood for food, and I will earn my baby. We can’t do anything against each other, so how about we each go our own way?”

　　　…”

 “Well water infringes upon river water?”

Hu Ma smiled and shook his head, saying, "Friend, this is too much."

“The villagers believe in me as the Red Lantern Lady, burn incense and make offerings to me every day, and watch their dolls being kidnapped. Is this really true?”

"Listen to my advice and leave the person behind. The evil spell has been solved. You can leave quickly!"

　　　…”

The salesman stared at Hu Ma without moving, and after a moment, he laughed and said: "Taking someone's job is like killing one's parents. Brother, don't you understand this? If your shopkeeper comes, I will give him face, but As for you, forget it..."

His expression seemed very relaxed. As he spoke, he took out a bag doll from the two baskets on the front of the car and put it on his hand.

Turning around and smiling at Hu Ma, he said, "If you don't see me, you'll get a share. I'll leave you a small silver cake?"

As he spoke, he raised his left hand. On his left hand was a bag doll, which was in tatters and tattered, but his features were clear, and he seemed to be able to express his expressions.

He didn’t know what he did with his left hand that was inside the doll. He waved his hand towards Hu Ma. The doll actually seemed alive, grinning and winking at Hu Ma.

"Small silver cake?" Under the moonlight, the weird doll was really eerie. Hu Ma felt a little scared in her heart, but smiled on her face: "How many taels is it?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly drew his knife and stepped forward.

As soon as someone saw through his hiding place, he immediately showed up and walked forward, just for this reason.

He didn't know what kind of witchcraft these salesmen had, let alone whether they, like Grandma Cui, had the ability to harm people invisibly.

But Hu Ma knew what he could do. The Shou Sui man himself had to get close to him to be able to do it. So by talking, he got closer little by little. When he saw that the distance was not far away, he suddenly killed him and refused to let the opponent get away. What a time to object.

 “Wow…”

 He used the "mountain-opening" technique taught by his second master for this step.

 Although these three moves are simple, once you are familiar with them, you will be full of dexterity.

The purpose of this step was to quickly close the distance between oneself and the opponent, but when the distance was closed, the soles of the shoes plowed the ground, but at the same time they also kicked up a piece of dust and sand.

When he walked over, Hu Ma raised his feet and suddenly kicked the piece of sand towards the salesman's face. He used the sand to cover his eyes. He held the steel knife across his hand and made a solid slash. Sweep.

"what's the situation?"

Things happened suddenly, and the salesman was also taken aback.

You were smiling just now, but why did you fall out so quickly and strike hard as soon as you started?

The doll he picked up also had a mechanism, and he originally wanted to give it to the stupid young man quietly.

Unexpectedly, this Leng Tou Qing was faster and more ruthless than him. Before he could use any of his moves, the opponent's knife was in his face, which made him look like Leng Tou Qing.

Eagerly, he hurriedly fell down and leaned towards the side of the car. At the same time, he raised the doll in his hand as if he had vomited something out.

 “Tsk!”

Hu Ma held a knife and joined hands with the salesman to steady himself.

Under the pale moonlight, only a flash of bright red could be seen on the blade, which showed that he had just succeeded.

But he didn't dare to be careless. He raised his left hand and frowned slightly. Several undetectable silver needles had hit it.

Even though he had struck quickly, the opponent's reaction was obviously not slow either. Now that the surroundings were dark, he didn't even see what the opponent was sending out, so he could only eagerly raise his left hand to block it.

 “Haha, haha, let’s see if you die…”

The salesman leaned on the car, but he was also sweating in pain. He was caught off guard and was stabbed, and his arm and chest were stabbed. Fortunately, he had a lot of experience in the world and could hide quickly, otherwise he would have been stabbed. Disembowelled.

But even though he was frightened and frightened, when he saw Hu Ma, he couldn't help but cursed with hatred: "No matter how cruel you are, why don't you lie down..."

Although he was stabbed, the poisonous needle in the doll's mouth had already been spat out, and the other party was obviously also hit.

 “Toxic?”

Huma could also feel a slight tingling in his arm. When the salesman shouted "lie down", he immediately staggered around, as if he was about to faint.

Unexpectedly, taking advantage of this opportunity to pounce forward, he suddenly stepped forward and slashed down with his sword.

 “Ah yes…”

The salesman thought that his poison had taken effect, and just as he felt a little relieved, suddenly he saw the blade strike him in the face again.

I was shocked. I saw Hu Ma with a steady hand and a sharp knife. The muscles on his face were slightly clenched, and his eyes seemed to be filled with murderous ferocity.

That ferocious look made his scalp numb, as if he had been poisoned. The fear in his heart suddenly rose, and the blood flow made his scalp feel numb and swollen.

He didn't have time to think about it, but when he saw the sharp blade approaching, he turned around suddenly and reached into the coffin without caring.

 “Aunt Tan, save me...”

　　　…”

 “The method of being a year-keeper is good…”

Hu Ma was really overjoyed in his heart. Although his left hand had just been forged, it was already invulnerable to all poisons, fearless of water and fire, and invulnerable to weapons. If he took advantage of it unprepared, he would do it without stopping. .

This sword was used with all his strength, but it was cold and sudden, and he suddenly felt a cold wind in front of him.

It was obvious that the knife was aimed at the salesman's neck, but the knife missed the target. Immediately, he felt a biting coldness around him. He seemed to hear an extremely weird and sinister laughter in his ears. Suddenly, his heart went crazy. He couldn't care anymore and hurriedly Pull back.

When he looked closely, he saw that the salesman had reached out and fished out a round object from the coffin.

 Looks like a wine jar, the kind that weighs thirty pounds, with a red cloth covering it.

 Half of the salesman's shoulder was cut off, leaving only a little skin on his left arm connected to his body.

Hold it up hard and put it on the jar. The blood spurting out immediately dripped on it.

Huma watched as the Yin energy emanating from the jar became stronger and stronger, and there was a strange swallowing sound inside.

　　All the blood did not fall to the ground. It gathered at the mouth of the jar and sloshed into it.

   Take it easy, there were a lot of comments yesterday.
