Twilight Boundary

Chapter 47: Witchcraft harms people

 “Quickly, over there, see if anything is okay...”

　　When the young men in the village lit torches and found flax, he was sitting beside the chopped down crooked neck tree to rest.

 His entire body was covered in cold sweat, and the night wind blew bitingly cold.

 But because of this, I broke out in a cold sweat. The heat and heaviness in my body before had completely disappeared, and my whole body felt light and refreshing.

He just made such a move, not entirely out of anger, but mostly out of fear. This world is very evil, with evil spirits, meat mountains, and ghosts, but Hu Ma realized that there are actually things more powerful than these. frightening.

Even if an evil spirit comes to harm others, you can see and feel it. If it wants to harm you, there is still a process, and you have the ability to allow yourself to resist a little.

 But, what do you encounter now?

What on earth did the other party do to make him seriously ill out of thin air? He couldn't suppress it even with all the fire in his body, and Xiao Hongtang couldn't even see where the enemy was?

This kind of illogical thing is the most frightening, and it also makes him, who cherishes his life, feel strong anger and murderous intention in his heart.

 “Xiao Huma, are you okay?”

 The second master had been anxious earlier and led the people to find Huma. Then he saw the crooked-neck tree and felt uneasy all over his body.

He is not good at walking ghosts, but as a sixty-year-old boy, he is very important. When he felt uncomfortable, he knew that there must be remnants of evil magic around him. In addition, he saw Hu Ma here, and his heart trembled with nervousness.

 “This old tree is harmful to people.”

Hu Ma took a breath, pointed at the crooked neck tree and said, "If my mother-in-law hadn't reminded me, I would have been killed by it."

 “Old tree?”

The second master hurriedly stepped forward, took a torch to shine, and saw the floating soil beside the tree. He kicked it away with his feet, and a black bundle was suddenly revealed in the pit.

He kicked it open with his feet, only to find that inside was a doll cut out of red paper, with Hu Ma's birthday and horoscopes on it, and a tattered cloth shoe that had been there for an unknown period of time. The people present did not recognize it, but they also vaguely guessed it. Whose shoes are these?

 “It’s not me, it’s not me…”

Seeing this bundle, the second daughter-in-law of the Cui family, who was surrounded by others and brought over, suddenly pulled her hair and shouted:

"It was the boss and the third who buried it, not me. Don't come looking for me..."

　　　…”

She was frightened out of her mind, but what she said was more honest. After hearing this, the faces of the people in the village suddenly changed.

 “That woman…”

Mr. Er’s face was distorted with anger: “After so many years of silence, I still haven’t forgotten her evil magic!”

Zhaizi was a bit older. When I heard the Er Ye, I saw this thing, where can I not understand?

The young man only remembered the ghost-traveling mother-in-law of the Hu family, but before the Hu family came to the village, there was also a disciple who knew the nightmare method in Dayang Village, that is the Cui family's grandma, especially after seeing what she buried under the tree, and then thinking about it After hearing about the Cui family, there is no one who doesn’t understand.

"This...this Cui family wanted to harm others, and got retribution?"

“Bah, you deserve it. How dare such a harmful person stay in our village?”

　　　…”

 For a time, everyone in the village changed their expressions, and began to curse regardless of the disaster the Cui family had just suffered.



When Hu Ma was born, the Cui family’s grandma was in the village, helping to boil hot water and deliver red eggs. How could the horoscope be hidden from her?

And this dirty shoe, without even thinking about when it was worn by Hu Ma, was secretly hidden by her and kept to harm others. This kind of thing is really difficult for people in the same village to guard against. Of course, that is The people in the village hated him the most.

She can harm Hu Ma, but who in the village can’t harm him?

The group of people cursed and helped Hu Ma into the house. Someone went to fill him with half a ladle of water and feed him.

"found it…"

While there was chaos, someone hurried back from the direction of Laohuotang, holding a bag of half-burned things with green smoke in their hands, showing them to the old patriarch and the second master:

"The Cui family's wife burned it in the past. Someone saw it, but she didn't know what it was. It took me two rounds to find it."

But when the old patriarch saw such a big thing happening in the village, he felt bad.

Some of the ancestors in Lao Huotangzi saw that it shouldn't be like this, so they quickly sent people to Laohuotangzi to have a look to see if there was anything strange.

The second master took these things, took one look at them, and threw them out the door in disgust, saying: "It's the mother-in-law's riding cloth wrapped in black Tai Sui soaked in dog blood, rotten wood, and excrement... This is the most filthy thing." s things."

“She took it to the old fire pond to burn it. The ancestors could no longer see what was going on in the village. If evil spirits were causing trouble here, of course there would be no way to protect them..."

 When the people around heard it, they were even more angry.

The people buried in the pond were all our ancestors. Who could do such a disrespectful thing to our ancestors?

 “Oh, it was also the Cui family who suffered retribution.”

The old patriarch was usually a peacemaker, but now he was angry. After thinking about it for a while, he understood the key point and sneered angrily: "This Cui family is harming people. We are afraid that our ancestors will intervene, so we burned this filthy thing first." , covering the eyes of our ancestors.”

“Unexpectedly, my evil way of harming others was broken, and when it came back, I also killed my whole family because my ancestors couldn’t see it..."

　　"It would be easier for her to let her whole family die."

"Otherwise, such a person would have to be driven out of the village. Who would dare to keep her?" "..."

 “What? All dead?”

Hu Ma, who had just calmed down, was suddenly startled.

As soon as he was killed, he only took care of the old trees around his neck, and he felt faintly felt that the party that might be killed.

 But I didn’t expect that the backlash would be so powerful.

I just cut a few more times to vent my anger, but so many people in the Cui family died?

Just when I was thinking this, I suddenly noticed that the people in the village were getting angry and cursing one after another. However, some people couldn't help but look at one place. It was the man who was already crazy and his clothes were torn. The second daughter-in-law of the Cui family cried out that it was none of her business.

Beside her, there was a tall and thin young man, holding her and sobbing softly. He seemed to be so distracted that he couldn't care less about what the people around him were saying.

Cui Xie'er…

Huma gradually had some complicated emotions in her heart. Just because he cut down the crooked neck tree, he killed his whole family?

 “Then this…”

 As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt something stirred in his heart: "...Then we can't keep this one either!"

Before cutting down the tree, I didn’t know that the Cui family would be wiped out. But since the family has been wiped out, wouldn’t it be a future trouble if this person is left here?

Just as Hu Ma was thinking about it, Cui Xie'er was hugging his own mother, just wanting her to calm down. He had already heard the curses of the people in the village around him, and he felt angry and frightened.

Now that the Cui family suddenly experienced a big change, he was actually frightened, but he couldn't help but feel full of resentment in his heart, and he looked at Hu Ma in the room fiercely.

Unexpectedly, this eye contact actually shocked my heart.

Hu Ma was also looking at him now, and the killing intent in her eyes was several times stronger than his.

“Mom, let’s go home first, let’s go home first…”

He could only drag his disheveled mother up and squeeze out of the crowd little by little.

The people in the village have no good feelings or sympathy for the Cui family now, but seeing that he is a half-grown young man, a crazy woman, and the family has suffered a great disaster, they can't do anything to embarrass him, so they are still too slow. Slowly, make way for him to come out.

As for the old patriarch, he was full of anger. At this time, he could only say: "Let's find a coffin and put the person away first!"

 “Can’t we just leave it like that?”

　　　…”

Everyone in the village understands that using a coffin to hold the food represents the attitude of the clan leader.

However, now that someone has just died, after the initial anger has passed, they will not say anything. Some enthusiastic villagers also came out to help, and other Cui family members were busy looking for wood, and restrained the Cui family's few The Kouzi people brought a few crazy people back to the Cui family.

 In the latter half of the night, the Cui family had already lit up a lot of white lanterns, and faint cries came from the building.

 “Let’s go, little Huma, you come back to Zhuangzi with me first.”

The second master helped out all night. First, he checked to see if there were any other problems in the village, and then arranged for someone to stand guard next to the old fire pond. He was afraid that someone would do something like this to the Cui family and offend the ancestors. When the fish belly comes out, He just returned to Hu Ma.

"You can't live in this village for the time being..."

When there was no one around, the second master whispered to Hu Ma: "Although the Cui family harmed people first, it was a bit miserable all of a sudden. The Cui family is a famous surname in the village, and there are many uncles. "

"I think you can no longer stay in the village during this period. Although the Cui family is unreasonable, who knows if they will come over and do something?"

“Come back to Zhuangzi with me and live there!”

"good…"

Hu Ma agreed, but couldn't help but asked, "How is Cui Xie'er?"

　　“What else?”

The second master sighed deeply, thinking that Hu Ma was concerned about this peer who was learning to do things together, and said: "He is also a half-year-old child, so he was frightened. But with the help of people in the village, the funeral can still be done. , as for what happens next..."

"…talk later!"

　　　…”

 “He should not be able to leave the village these days.”

Hu Ma silently made a note of it in her mind, packed her things and went with the second master.

Before leaving, I pressed the purse on my chest that was wrapped in Tang Hui, and I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart.

This time, I only survived thanks to the blessing of my mother-in-law...

He finally understood that ordinary people only enter the old fire pond after death, but the mother-in-law just wanted to go to the ancestral temple, but insisted on burning her body in the old fire pond.

 She wanted to keep a trace of her spirituality in the old fire pit so that she could continue to protect herself?
