Folklore: The baby starts the game, and the mother takes off her painted skin

Chapter 10 Mr. Ma Asks Ghosts for Help
Liu Bai smelled the fishy smell of blood brought back by the old man, and at the same time he was secretly looking at the Master Ma mentioned by Xiaocao.

He had gray hair and wore a gray cloth short shirt that was rolled up near his legs. His trouser legs were covered in mud, and his exposed hairy calves were covered in cuts and were covered in blood.

There is a pipe tied around his waist. Judging from the mottled marks on it, it is obviously an old item.

Judging from what Xiaocao just said, he is the... Master Ma?

After Master Ma rushed into the house, he gasped violently for a few times, and the blood and energy in his body gradually calmed down. The cloud dragon that he had been swallowing and spitting out also slowly disappeared.

Looking at him, the smile in Madam Liu's eyes faded a little.

She raised her fair little hand and waved it forward, and the double doors that had been opened closed instantly.

"Master Ma, you're joking. What could you need help from a weak woman like me?" Madam Liu came to the tea table in the store and sat down. When Huang Yiyi and the others came before, they were also chatting here.

As soon as she left, Liu Bai looked around, then carried Xiao Cao on his back and quickly walked behind Madam Liu. At the same time, he tilted his head as if he was secretly looking at the stranger, Master Ma.

Mr. Ma seemed to have just noticed Liu Bai's presence, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He had known for a long time that Madam Liu had given birth to a child, but he did not expect that such a short time had passed before the baby had become a child. He praised:
"This kid must be the noble young master. He is so handsome, and looks just like Empress Liu."

Madam Liu reached out and gently pushed Liu Bai's little head back, "You are just a useless son of a bitch."

Liu Bai naturally didn't care about Madam Liu's words, but just muttered silently in his heart:

The ghost walker is supposed to deal with ghosts. Now, Mr. Ma, as a ghost walker in Huangliang Town, actually comes to seek help from a ghost. It is really ridiculous.

But at the same time, Liu Bai couldn't help but recall his thoughts on the day he escaped.

At that time, I naively thought of asking Mr. Ma for help.

So, at that time, I wanted to find one of Madam Liu's followers to deal with Madam Liu?
While Liu Bai was thinking, Master Ma spoke again.

"In today's matter, Madam Liu must save my life."

Madam Liu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. She said, "Okay, tell me, what's going on?"

Madam Liu didn't say anything, and Master Ma didn't dare sit down. He just stood there and said, "Didn't a skinning kid come to our town a few days ago?"

"At that time, the young man from the Zhu family found me and told me the whole story, and I followed him."

"I never thought that the little devil was so bold that he killed someone and hid in Zhu's house. I caught him right away."

"After that incident, I thought the matter was resolved, but I never expected that a few days later, a similar incident occurred in Xiaohe Village, and I was invited there again."

"After this happened two or three times, I realized that this might not be the case."

"So the old man went up to the altar and performed a ritual."

"After asking the ancestors and gods, I learned that after all my efforts, I still haven't figured out the true form of the ghost."

Hearing this, Madam Liu smiled and said, "Who said you didn't touch it? Didn't you touch it now?"

Master Ma spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "Madam Liu, please stop teasing me."

The smile on Madam Liu's face gradually faded, and she turned serious and said, "Is the power of that ghost really so strong that even you, Ma Laosan, was cursed by it?"

"Who said it wasn't... If I didn't have the talisman paper Madam Liu gave me, I might never see you again." Seeing that Ma Lao San was about to start crying again, Madam Liu waved her hand and said directly, "It's not impossible for me to help."

Master Ma's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Madam Liu, please tell me. If you have any orders, I will do my best to help you!"

Madam Liu sneered contemptuously, crossed her legs, stretched out her hand to push Liu Bai over, and said:
"I'll help you deal with this skinning ghost. You can teach him a few tricks. It doesn't have to be too much. Just enough to get started."

When Liu Bai heard this, his eyes were still confused, as if he didn't understand at all what his mother was saying, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.

Madam Liu means... to send me to learn skills from Master Ma and become a ghost walker?

The grass behind him also murmured, "It's over, it's over. Young Master is going to be a ghost walker. Ghost walkers die very quickly. The millet in the field hasn't been harvested yet, and ghost walkers have been replaced for several times."

Master Ma just glanced at Liu Bai and said, "Mrs. Liu is so capable that she doesn't need me anymore."

"My skills are all girly, not suitable for a man like him." Madam Liu said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Master Ma looked around a few more times, and seeing that Madam Liu did not sound false, he nodded hesitantly and said:

"Okay, I have no objection. I will follow Madam Liu's arrangements."

Madam Liu picked up the teacup, and seeing this, Mr. Ma immediately bowed and said goodbye.

As soon as he left, Liu Bai immediately said, "Mom, I don't want to learn any skills from Master Ma. I just want to be with you every day."

Madam Liu's eyes softened slightly when she heard this, but she said, "Are you not afraid that I will eat you now?"

Your mother... Liu Bai looked confused and shook his head, "I'm not afraid."

Madam Liu sneered, "It's not your turn to refute the decision I made."

Liu Bai had no choice but to lower his head, but then he remembered something and turned around again, and found that Xiaocao's mouth had been sewn up without him knowing when.

When it saw Liu Bai turning around, it stammered and begged for mercy, pointing at its own mouth, then at Madam Liu, and making a kneeling gesture.

Liu Bai also felt that its mouth smelled a bit bad, so she said in a baby voice: "Mom, Xiaocao said that its mouth is not sewn shut and it will leak air."

On the way back, Madam Liu no longer carried him on her back, and the two of them went their separate ways.

Liu Bai was still holding her skirt, just like the day she picked him up from the Hu family's ancient house.

After returning home and busying myself with dinner, it was already dark.

Darkness enveloped the surroundings, and there seemed to be ghost cries coming from the distant valley. Madam Liu was still dressed the same way. When she saw Liu Bai getting on the bed, she said:
"I'm going out for a while, you stay home alone and don't run around."

"Well...it may take a while. If you still want to run, remember to hurry up. By the way, I'm going to take Xiaocao with me this time, so I won't keep an eye on you. So this is a rare opportunity."

There seemed to be a hint of stupidity in Liu Bai's eyes, and he was thinking in his heart, how can you fish with a straight hook?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Madam Liu sneered and prepared to leave.

But unexpectedly, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Mom, I want to go with you."
