Hu Ma almost lost her sense of time and space in this gloomy forest.

He didn't know how long he had been walking in this forest, but when he finally got to the point where he was sweating all over his body, he came out of the forest and looked up. There was a low hill in front of him. On the other side of the hill, there was It's another, bigger forest.

Looking far into the distance, it seemed that deep in the forest, there was some kind of dark red, bloated, squirming, huge piece of flesh.

I don’t know if I was dazzled or not.

But he withdrew his gaze and looked at the mountainous area. He found that there were several low stone houses there, and there seemed to be some vaguely shaking figures. He immediately glanced at his mother-in-law and confirmed that that was where her mother-in-law was going to take her. A place to go by yourself.

He quickly cheered up and followed quickly.

When I got closer, I found that this place looked like a small farm. There were several vegetable fields planted around it. There was a large flat land with compacted soil inside, and there was a millstone in the middle.

On the surrounding walls, there are two rows of weapon racks sparsely placed, on which you can see broadswords, spears, lotus hooks, rope darts, etc., as well as several heavy stone pillars.

At this moment, in front of the room, there was a tall old man sitting on the bench.

Next to it stood a small teapot and a plate of dry tobacco.

In front of him, there were two rows of more than a dozen teenagers, shirtless and wearing black pants, boxing in a strict manner.

"Is this a place for boxing training?"

Hu Ma was a little surprised at what she saw at this time, and thought to herself.

What surprised him even more was that he had seen the endless dangers outside the village. If the old man had special skills and could live outside the village by himself, how could there be such a group of young people following him? Together?

Aren't the young men in the village just not allowed to get close to the edge of the village?

Or is it that the old man has some powerful abilities and it’s okay to live outside with these teenagers?

"Things that kill people are of no use to us, and they can't deal with the Meng family."

The mother-in-law seemed to have noticed Hu Ma's thoughts, and turned around and warned: "I asked you to come here to learn another skill from Lao Er. If you can learn it, then without the protection of Lao Huotang, those evil spirits will not dare to Come as close as you like."

"Besides, it's safer for you to stay with your second son than with your mother-in-law."

"I'm going to have to free up my hands to deal with something in a few days, but I'm also worried that I won't be able to take care of you because of my negligence."

"..."

"ah?"

Hu Ma's heart skipped a beat: Do you want me to stay here?

Earlier, the first thing he did when he woke up was to escape from that room and escape from this sinister mother-in-law.

But needless to say, the result was that I was so frightened that I felt safer only if I stayed with her. But now, just how long had passed, when I had just adapted to the way of getting along with her, I unexpectedly got a A chance to leave her?

In addition, the purpose of seeing her mother-in-law is not that she brought herself here for others to see, but just to find someone to take care of her.

"Sister, did you really bring the child here?"

At this moment, a loud laughter was heard, and it was the tall old man walking over.

While smiling, he walked up to him and glared at Hu Ma: "Boy, why didn't you call someone?"

"Call Er Ye."

The mother-in-law said something to Hu Ma, then turned around and said, "He was seriously injured before. Although he was rescued, he doesn't remember much."

"Oh, that family is so cruel."

When the second master heard this, he frowned slightly and glanced far into the surrounding woods.

He lowered his voice and said, "Is that business still here?"

"The Meng family has always done things like this. They will never give up if they don't succeed."

The mother-in-law shook her head, took the bundle from Hu Ma's back, and asked Hu Ma to go further away and wait. Then she turned around and handed the bundle to the second master, saying: "I injured that line some time ago, but I confiscated it.

.”

"Thinking about it, it has almost recovered during this period. If I don't get rid of it, I will always feel uneasy..."

"..."

The second master held up the bundle with one hand, weighed it slightly, and frowned:

"Old sister, you saved my life back then. If you didn't take these things, I would still take care of little Hu Ma..."

"..."

"One yard owned by a yard."

The mother-in-law said: "I brought my grandson here to pay homage to his master, not to seek favors."

"I took him to Laohuotangzi, but the ancestors didn't recognize him. Now he can only learn your skills."

"..."

"But I..."

The second master frowned and lowered his voice: "Sister, I'm teaching Xiao Huma, there's no problem at all."

"But not everyone can learn what I do..."

"..."

"He will definitely learn it."

When my mother-in-law talked about this issue, she seemed to be much stricter and whispered: "He must also learn your skills."

"Our Hu family..."

When she said this, she felt a little depressed. She sighed and said, "There is no other way."

Seeing this, the second master couldn't say anything, so he hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, this is my nephew, I will definitely teach him carefully."

"It's just that the evil people sent by the Meng family, look at..."

"..."

He was eager to try and seemed to be volunteering.

"That's the grudge of our Hu family."

But the mother-in-law interrupted the second master and said: "It is not a rule for outsiders to interfere."

"Oh well!"

The second master didn't say much, put the baggage under his arm, and said, "I'm not polite to my elder sister either."

"Don't worry, let me leave my child here. If you need to be busy, go and do your work. Whenever you need me, just ask Xiao Hongtang to come and say something."

"..."

The mother-in-law didn't spend much time here to say hello, she just told Hu Ma some more things, including eating more meat, learning more skills from the second master, being obedient, and not going down the mountain.

Then he let Hu Ma kowtow to the second master three times on the muddy ground. When he stood up, his mother-in-law patted the dirt on his knees, took out the small silver cakes from his arms, and put them into his

hand, turned around and left.

Hu Ma held these silver cakes that still had her body temperature in her hands and watched her rickety figure slowly go down the mountain.

As if he didn't know it, he suddenly felt a little emotional.

Thinking of the truth that I had concealed, I felt a little unbearable.

…

"Oh, why are you acting like a girl and crying now that you are away from your mother-in-law?"

The second master saw Hu Ma's sadness, but misunderstood it. He smiled and patted his head and said:

"Go back when you have learned your skills. Why are you crying?"

"..."

With that said, he brought Hu Ma to the front of the house.

The group of teenagers who were practicing boxing also stopped at this time, and one of them looked at Hu Ma with round eyes.

Someone glanced at the flax-like arms and curled their lips and said: "This new guy? He's not too strong."

"You don't have a lot of flesh on your body. If you encounter evil spirits, how can you be swept away by a gust of wind?"

Some people also snorted and said, "That's the grandson of the ghost mother-in-law. He's usually very precious..."

"I feel a headache when I study, I feel tired when I practice the poses, and I feel tired when I go to work in the sun."

"Sometimes my mother-in-law goes out to treat people and cannot come back at noon, so she has to ask the aunt next door to prepare a meal for him and send it over. He still picks the fat and the thin..."

"..."

"..."

"Are these young men also from the village?"

Listening to Hu Ma, she would not take the contempt and ridicule of these children to heart.

Instead, I felt a slight movement in my heart. It seemed that these teenagers were more aware of what happened to their original bodies.

Because he was afraid of his mother-in-law, he never dared to directly ask him what happened to him and what it was like before. But now he thought that he could try to get some information from these people later and piece it together.
To be continued...
