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

Chapter 33: The Gift from Granny Ma [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

After Xiaocao said this, Liu Bai immediately felt like a thorn in his back.

There really was someone staring at me, and it was right behind me...it was that Granny Ma.

Liu Bai remembered what Master Ma said about the system of walking in the dark. Three fires burn the spirit body, the spirit body produces five qi, and when the five qi gather, the Yin spirit comes out.

The old man in the city is a ghost who has raised a ghost spirit. Most of the time, Granny Ma is not one of them, but she is respected by Master Ma.

From this point of view, she is most likely a ghost person who has gathered the five energies.

But why is a shady person like her staring at me?
Did you find out there's something wrong with me?
Did he discover my age or did he discover that I was a ghost baby... Liu Bai thought about it carefully and estimated that neither was likely.

Especially the latter.

Because he felt that his mother's strength should be greater than that of Granny Ma, and might even be stronger than the old man from the city...

So it seems that this old lady Ma would not be able to discover what my mother had done.

After crossing the bridge over the stream, the bushes around us gradually became dense, and we entered the old forest.

Liu Bai didn't say anything, and even the servants who were carrying the loads kept their mouths shut tactfully.

They all understood the principle of not talking once they entered the old woods.

After only walking a few steps, Liu Bai discovered that the evil spirits and trees in the old forest would not give way.

He remembered that the last time he and Madam Liu went to look for the skinned ghost, they also walked in this old woods.

At that time, the trees would make way on their own, but now these bushes and weeds are tightly fitted together, leaving no gaps at all.

They could only follow Master Ma and walk through some bushes that looked like paths.

Liu Bai knew this. The roads in this old forest... were not long.

Even if someone asked their ancestors for protection, or went to the land temple to burn incense and pray to the gods... a path was opened in this old forest.

But after one night, the road was covered by bushes and weeds again.

Fortunately, Liu Bai was small in stature, and following behind Master Ma, he was not cut by the thorny bushes.

But those behind were not so lucky, especially the sedan chair...it was blocked by tree branches after every few steps and had to stop.

At that time, Manager Liang would use an old hatchet to cut off the branches.

When Liu Bai saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel curious. Who was the young lady in the sedan chair? It would have been fine if she could just go into the old woods, but she actually needed a sedan chair to be carried?

Tsk, they are indeed a wealthy family.

"Sir, would you like me to help you see what the woman in the sedan looks like?"

Xiaocao saw what Liu Bai was thinking, so she leaned over to his ear and whispered.

Liu Bai ignored it and was so angry that it could only whimper and curse Master Ma.

There is Master Ma, a ghost who has burned his spirit body, leading the way, and there is Manager Liang in the middle of the team, and finally there is Granny Ma, who has gathered the five energies.

The three of them would light the fire from time to time, but no evil spirit dared to show up and seek death.

This went on until noon, when Master Ma chose a sunny bluestone slope for the team to stop and rest and eat something.

Liu Bai and Master Ma joined the team halfway and had not prepared any food.

But fortunately, the servants brought enough things, and Liu Bai was also given a pot of water and two baked buns with unknown meat in them.

Everyone was eating the same thing, and Liu Bai didn't think he was special or that others would single him out to frame him, so he just ate the same thing.

After eating only a few bites, he noticed that his vision darkened. He looked up and saw Granny Ma coming and standing in front of him.

He stood up quickly and shouted.

"It's okay, just eat your food. Grandma has something good for you to try."

Granny Ma smiled and took out a piece of oilcloth from her sleeve, spread it out, and inside was... a beehive?
It feels like a grandmother who hasn't seen her darling grandson for a long time. When she finally sees him, she will take out the food that she has hidden for several months or even half a year and that has gone bad, as if it were a treasure, so that her grandson can have a taste of it.

Liu Bai felt this way now, so his expression was a little subtle. The honeycomb was already a very small piece, and Granny Ma broke off a smaller piece and handed it over.

"It's not that I'm stingy, mother-in-law, you're young, this thing is very nutritious, you can't eat too much."

Seeing this, Master Ma on the side widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Oh my goodness, mother-in-law, is this... a beehive of Dangyang bees?"

"You have some knowledge." Granny Ma said with a hint of pride.

Manager Liang, who noticed the commotion, also came over. Seeing this scene, he had a look of surprise and admiration in his eyes. He sighed, "You are really lucky, kid. This beehive... not many people in Blood Food City have it. Grandma gave it to you, why don't you eat it?"

Hearing what they said, it seems that this is really a good thing... Liu Bai raised his head and looked at Granny Ma.

"But she and I have no relationship at all and this is the first time we meet. Why is she so nice to me?"

"Boy!"

Master Ma pushed him gently from behind.

Granny Ma was not angry, but became more satisfied. She laughed and said, "Don't worry, Granny, if she wants to harm you, she doesn't have to go through so much trouble."

Having said that, Liu Bai had no choice but to take it with both hands, "Thank you, mother-in-law."

"Oh, okay, you're such a good boy." After giving the things away, Granny Ma happily put away the remaining beehives.

Without saying anything more, he turned around and went back to the sedan chair.

"Granny, do you like that child very much?" A cold voice came from the sedan chair. It was very faint, but the grandma could hear it clearly.

"Miss, I'm old and have no children. When I saw this baby today, I was really happy with him." Grandma Ma smiled while hunching over.

"It's okay. If mother-in-law likes it, I'll just take it back to the city."

"It's okay, as long as the young lady doesn't think I'm meddling in other people's business."

……

"Eat it, eat it quickly."

"What kind of luck do you have, kid? When you walk on the street, there are mothers-in-law giving you food... and it's actually a beehive of Dangyang bees. My god."

Master Ma squatted beside Liu Bai, muttering in a low voice.

His eyes were full of envy and greed.

"What's the use of eating this beehive?" Liu Bai originally wanted to say this to Master Ma.

He himself...from the current perspective, adding some panels is definitely his biggest cheat. If that doesn't work, he can still cry for help. He doesn't need to eat these things.

"It strengthens qi and blood, replenishes spirituality, and lays the foundation. What do you think of this thing? If you take it to the city, even if people have Blood Yin Beads to buy, you may not be able to buy it!" Master Ma said gritting his teeth.

"Will there be any other adverse effects after eating it?"

Liu Bai originally wanted to talk about the side effects, but he thought that Mr. Ma might not understand.

“No! You kid, eat it or not. If you don’t eat me…” Master Ma wanted to say what he ate, but he couldn’t say such shameless words.

"Sir, this thing that can be eaten can be eaten."

Xiaocao also whispered behind him.

Manager Liang and Granny Ma were still watching, so Liu Bai didn't delay for too long, and thus faced the envious gaze of Master Ma.

He swallowed the honeycomb in one gulp.

Hmm...it tastes sweet and has a honey flavor.

After swallowing it, the whole body felt warm, and soon this warmth flowed throughout the body.

Liu Bai was curious and called out the panel.

　Thanks to the little rabbit for the 800-point reward!
