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

Chapter 32 Granny Ma [Seeking follow-up reading]

"What are you doing following them, kid? It's nonsense!"

Mr. Ma was really anxious now.

He naturally knew what Manager Liang meant. After all, he had said it just before he left.

The two ancestors of the Red Lantern House and the Short Knife Gang had already gone to Yinmai in advance to deal with the fierce evil spirit. They were all in charge of logistics.

But even if it's logistics, you still need a sneaker who is familiar with the route to lead the way.

One is to abide by the rules, and the other is to be more convenient.

Although there are some people in their group who know the way, they definitely don't know it as well as locals like Mr. Ma.

From Mr. Ma's perspective, although the pay for this job was not low, after all, it was helping the Red Lantern House and the Short Knife Gang.

These city people cannot treat country folk like us badly.

But the danger level involved... is also extremely high.

Even if we get near the Yin Meridian, if the two ancestors are not in good condition, we might even have to face the evil ghost head on.

When that time really comes, Mr. Ma feels that he will be doomed whether he succeeds or not.

Even if he wasn't killed by the evil spirit, he would have been killed by Madam Liu with a single knife... no, not even a knife was needed.

Mr. Ma's reaction also attracted the attention of Manager Liang.

He glanced at it casually at first, then immediately became serious and even said "eh".

"Did you light a fire in the stove?"

Hearing the surprised voice of Manager Liang, Master Ma, who had been lowering his head, instantly raised the corners of his mouth and waved his hand, "Little kid, you are just playing around, haha."

"If it's too much, then it's okay to go together." Manager Liang still had a look of surprise in his eyes.

Mr. Ma, who had just been laughing, immediately turned pale.

"Don't worry, Granny Ma is here too this time." Manager Liang said casually.

"Grandma Ma is here too?"

Master Ma looked around and finally his eyes fell on Liu Bai. He knew that this kid was afraid of death and would not do anything without benefits.

And since the servant ghost didn't say anything...it was probably Empress Liu giving some instructions?

"Okay, then we'll follow the steward's arrangements. When do we leave?"

Manager Liang picked up the cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp. "Now."

"By the way, Mayor Zhao, has the person I sent you to call arrived?" he turned around and asked.

Zhao Jiu leaned forward and nodded quickly, "Here we are, already waiting at the door."

These words were said after Master Ma had left. He didn't understand and looked at the Taoist Master Yixiao who had just killed his Taoist friend Bupindao.

The latter explained: "Manager Liang said that there are still some things to carry, so he found a few young and strong people."

"Let's go."

Liu Bai was young, and he didn't want to act too exaggerated, so he looked around with a stupid and ignorant look in his eyes the whole time, which was very consistent with his age.

When I went out, there were indeed five people from the town standing at the door, all of them young and strong men.

Liu Bai took a look, but didn't see anyone familiar.

Manager Liang took a quick look, randomly selected four of them, and asked them to follow him while he got on the carriage.

Mr. Ma's carriage had disappeared, but he did not ask. Instead, he led Liu Bai to get on the nanmu carriage of Manager Liang.

It was very spacious inside and smelled very good, as if sandalwood had been burned.

Manager Liang sat in the main seat, while Liu Bai sat obediently next to Master Ma with the one-handed saw slung around his waist.

"Did you find a ghost servant for him?" Manager Liang asked, looking at Xiaocao lying behind Liu Bai.

Master Ma recalled that Madam Liu never liked others to know her identity, so he nodded and said, "That's right."

"You are really good to your disciple. You gave him something that you don't even have."

Of course, there are also ghost walkers who keep ghosts, and there are many of them. After all, keeping a ghost can help when exorcising evil spirits. If there is an evil spirit following you all year round, your spirituality will always grow.

But this situation only applies to children from large families.

Because only they...can keep up with the energy and blood.

So there is a saying outside, which is "borrow the servant ghost to identify the master". If a person does not even have a servant ghost, then basically there is no need to think highly of him.

Speechless all the way.

Soon, the coachman stopped the carriage. Master Ma knew the way and took Liu Bai out of the carriage first.

Liu Bai also quickly realized where he was, at the end of the town.

Because he saw the haunted Hu family mansion that he had broken into earlier, not far behind him.

There were several people standing there, looking around, obviously wanting to see what these people were doing.

Among them was his second senior brother Hu Wei.

In front of me, there were many men in uniform standing in groups of three or four. They wore green short jackets on the upper body, brown long shirts underneath, and black round hats on their heads.

But what really caught Liu Bai's attention was the four-cornered sedan chair with flying eaves made of hardwood located beside the creek bridge.

Next to the sedan stood a hunchbacked, white-haired old woman. Her face was full of wrinkles and her rebellious eyes swept around.

Xiaocao immediately shrank behind Liu Bai. Then he knew that this old woman was most likely the old lady Ma that Manager Liang had mentioned.

Sure enough, Master Ma took Liu Bai and came to the old woman.

Master Ma bowed and saluted for a rare moment, "My dear boy, I meet Grandma Ma."

"So it's the third son of the Ma family. Thank you for leading the way for me this time." Grandma Ma smiled and stretched out her eagle-claw-like left hand and touched Mr. Ma's head.

Mr. Ma did not dare to be displeased at all, and even smiled happily.

"Mother-in-law, the deal is done." Manager Liang also bowed slightly.

"Then let's go. Don't keep the ancestors waiting for too long."

Liu Bai felt that she was staring at him when she said this, and sure enough, the next moment, that eagle-claw-like hand was on him.

He was frightened and tensed instantly.

Master Ma said quickly: "This is the disciple I accepted. He is useless. I am sorry to make you laugh."

After saying that, he pushed the back of Liu Bai's head and said, "Why don't you call me mother-in-law?"

Liu Bai understood what Master Ma meant, so he bent down to avoid Grandma Ma's hand, and then called out in a baby voice, "Boy Liu Bai greets Grandma."

Liu Bai hid, and Granny Ma didn't insist on taking a closer look.

"The disciple you accepted? Not bad, not bad. At such a young age, he can actually light two fires. He has a good aptitude and is born to be a shady person. Ma Saner, you have also put in a lot of effort." The mother-in-law praised.

"Hey, this kid works really hard."

Master Ma grinned.

Upon hearing this, Manager Liang also looked at Liu Bai seriously. He naturally knew that there were not many people at this age who could light a fire, let alone in this small Huangliang Town, even in the entire Xueshi City.

"gone."

Granny Ma looked at Liu Bai with great satisfaction and said nothing more.

Manager Liang ordered the four young and strong men who were called from the town to carry the four-cornered sedan chair with flying eaves.

When Liu Bai followed Master Ma to the front of the team, he took the opportunity to look back.

It happened that the sedan chair was lifted up, and the curtains on the windows swayed gently. Sitting inside was a young woman wearing a snow-white long dress and a veil on her face.

But after just a glance, the curtain closed again and I couldn't see clearly.

"Let's go!" Manager Liang shouted loudly, and all the green-shirted servants picked up their own loads of goods, shouted as they crossed the bridge and walked into the mountains.

Liu Bai followed Master Ma and walked at the front of the team.

But before crossing the bridge, Xiao Cao whispered in Liu Bai's ear: "Sir, that old lady Ma is watching us."
