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

Chapter 37 I Ask My Mother [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

Behind him, Manager Liang was already shouting at the servants to stop and rest, and then go forward and reach the entrance of the Yin Meridian in one go.

That... is the Yin meridian?
Liu Bai stared at the mountain range opposite with wide eyes. It was high in the middle and low on both sides. The mountains rose and fell, and the whole mountain was covered with lush ancient trees.

This looks no different from an ordinary mountain range.

How do we determine whether there is a Yin pulse inside?
Liu Bai was curious and turned around, intending to ask Mr. Ma, but he never expected that the person standing next to him was Granny Ma.

Mr. Ma was driven aside and leaned against a dead tree to smoke a pipe.

"Baby, what's the problem?"

Granny Ma smiled and touched his little head and asked.

Liu Bai thought about it and decided that it didn't matter who he asked, but maybe asking Granny Ma would tell him more.

"Mother-in-law, how can we know which mountain has the Yin Vein?"

Granny Ma laughed when she heard this. She touched Liu Bai's little head, turned to look at Manager Liang, and said with a smile:

"My dear grandson knows what is good. He even knows to ask grandma how to find the Yin pulse. He has a bright future!"

Manager Liang naturally agreed verbally, but he was muttering in his heart: Only you like this, so you say yes to everything I ask. If another kid asked this question, he would have been slapped to death by you.

But I can only think about it, I dare not say it out loud.

Everyone just dares to talk about it in their heart.

After saying this, Granny Ma turned around and looked at Liu Bai again, her eyes full of love.

"Finding Yin meridians... is a unique business, a great skill, the kind that is passed down to men and not women. Those who have this skill are called geoscientists."

"Geological survey?"

It was the first time that Liu Bai heard of this title and he was a little curious.

"Yes, it's called geological exploration." Master Ma, who was smoking a pipe, said immediately, "This skill... is very great. If you can do it, you will be a guest of honor no matter which city you go to."

He originally wanted to say that if you knew this skill, Granny Ma would have to call you Brother Liu, but he only dared to think about it.

"There should be very few people in this business, right?" Liu Bai asked curiously.

"Few, very few. There is only one in the entire Blood Food City, and he is a tribute to the City Lord's Mansion."

After Granny Ma finished speaking, she squatted down a little, "Wait, I want to discuss something with you."

She changed the subject.

Liu Bai's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.

I thought to myself that it had indeed arrived.

From the moment this Granny Ma treated him well, he knew... there must be some ulterior motive.

We've only met for the first time and we have no other relationship, but he's so nice to me and gives me all the good things. Who would believe that he doesn't have some ulterior motive?
And with the subsequent contacts, Liu Bai had a little understanding of her thoughts.

Maybe... she wants me to be her grandson?
"Mother-in-law, what's the matter?" Liu Bai blinked his ignorant and stupid big eyes. After all, if he didn't pretend to be stupid now, when would he pretend to be stupid?

"Wow, have you ever been to the city?"

Granny Ma simply sat next to Liu Bai and asked with a smile.

Liu Bai shook his head in confusion, "Master Ma never took me there."

Mr. Ma on the side rolled his eyes and didn't dare to interrupt.

Granny Ma asked again, "Do you want to go?"

Liu Bai turned and looked at Master Ma, as if asking him when he would take her there.

"See what's the use of him. If you want to go, mother-in-law can take you there."

Granny Ma pulled him back.

This made Liu Bai feel... this Grandma Ma was like a child trafficker.

For a moment, Liu Bai didn't know how to answer, so he thought about it and raised his head, "Grandma, do you also want to take me as your apprentice?"

When you are unable to outwit the other party, the best way is to be frank.

Just like at this moment, Liu Bai's "childish words" made Granny Ma a little surprised, but she was an old fox after all, and she reacted quickly.

"If you think so... you are right."

"My child, a dragon cannot be raised in a pond. You have great talent, but following someone like Ma Lao San will only waste it." Granny Ma looked at the surrounding mountains while speaking, "You were born in this forest, and all you see are mountains like this. In fact, the world outside is much bigger than you think... You shouldn't stay here."

"You saw what mother-in-law is capable of last night,"

"Following grandma, you will have a bright future."

She spoke very seriously and formally, and she didn't worry whether Liu Bai could understand her.

On the side, Master Ma felt very uncomfortable at first, but when he heard this... he laughed in his heart.

just you?

You call this ability?

You probably don’t know who his mother is... Master Ma calmed down, but this calmness only lasted for a moment.

Because he found that this kid Liu Bai always looked at him.

"No, why are you looking at me at this time? If you want to go, go ahead!"

Soon, Granny Ma turned around and looked at him, which made him feel a chill on his back.

"It's okay, kid, just say whatever you think. If Ma Lao San dares to say no, mother-in-law will kill him."

Liu Bai seemed to be frightened and shook his head hurriedly, "Mother-in-law, don't kill Master Ma."

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was...can I go home and ask my mother?"

After he said that, he lowered his head as if he was aggrieved.

"I want to listen to my mother."

"I have to ask my mother first."

When Granny Ma heard this, she immediately laughed happily, "That's right, you see, Granny has forgotten how old you are."

"It's okay. Ask your mother for help. Go back and ask her first."

"Trust me, mother-in-law. Your mother will agree."

Granny Ma spoke very seriously, but also very casually, as if she could make Liu Bai's mother agree if she didn't agree.

"Okay, then I'll go back and ask my mother."

Liu Bai also nodded vigorously.

Behind him, Master Ma suddenly became expectant.

If Granny Ma knew that Madam Liu didn't agree, and then came to the house to snatch Liu Bai away...what kind of scene would that be?
After this delay, the servants who were carrying the goods soon had enough rest, and Manager Liang urged them to set off again.

Liu Bai seemed to not take what had just happened to heart at all. He followed Master Ma, skipping and jumping on the road again.

The little grass that had been hanging behind him all the time quietly looked back at the old woman and muttered something in its heart.

"My lady, someone wants to snatch the young master away!"

……

Madam Liu opened her eyes.

She looked at Huang Yiyi, who had regained his human form, and smiled, "Yiyi, it's time to go home."

The latter raised his head and looked around in a daze for a while.

The corridor was emitting a bright white light, and you could vaguely see that there seemed to be many beads on the wall of the cave.

These beads were supposed to be colored originally, but now they have become transparent and have lost all their luster.

"Madam Liu...me?"

"It's okay, just think of it as you just slept and had a dream." Madam Liu said, and pulled her up from the ground.

"it is good."

Huang Yiyi's eyes were cloudy, and he still didn't react, so he asked, "Then shall we go home now?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu turned her head and looked outside. There seemed to be a hint of... amusement in her eyes?
"Later, later."
