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

Chapter 64: Sugar Blower and Mountain Man [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

Liu Bai naturally knew about going to the market.

This custom exists whether you were in the village in your previous life or in Huangliang Town in this life.

Huangliang Town holds markets on the 3rd, 6th and 9th days of every month, such as the 3rd, 6th and 9th days of the lunar month, and the 13th, 16th and 19th days of the lunar month.

And now... Liu Bai swept around the room, so is this a market for ghost people?
This was his first time experiencing this, and he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Hu Wei didn't seem to have experienced much. He had been dozing off against the wall, but now he opened his eyes and looked bright and energetic.

The man who just came in and spoke obviously knew Mr. Ma and the others. He greeted them and then squatted down and took down the small box behind him.

It was not until this moment that Liu Bai realized that the box this man was carrying... was very heavy, and it even made a dull sound when placed on the ground.

This time, Mr. Ma did not explain, as if waiting for Liu Bai to see for himself.

He himself came to the herder in the corner with his old pipe in hand and asked with a smile:

"Master Duan, do you still have the tobacco leaves you collected last time?"

"Yours is the best. Others' is not so good...it makes my throat burn."

Master Duan seemed like a man who didn't like to laugh. He just nodded and said yes, then took out a bundle of brown tobacco leaves from a burlap bag behind him.

"Same old, huh?"

"Ah."

Master Ma took out three white beads from his bosom and handed them over. It was not until now that Liu Bai realized that the cigarette that Master Ma smoked could only be bought with Yin beads.

No wonder it's so fun to beat up evil spirits.

On the other side, in just a short while, the two men and one woman in front of him also set aside the shelves.

The so-called shelf is the wooden box they carry on their backs, which is propped up from the inside.

The man who spoke at the beginning had just opened the box when a sweet smell spread throughout the room.

Hu Wei had been to the city before and had seen a bit of the world, so he whispered to Liu Bai, "This is a candy figurine."

"That's right, little brother, would you like to try two?" The candy man blower smiled at Hu Wei, "Take one, this thing is not a lie, it will increase your blood circulation if you eat it."

Hu Wei swallowed and was somewhat tempted.

The sugar man continued to instigate, "Come on, since you can't sleep with a woman at your age, and there's not much use in keeping the Yin Pearl, just treat it as a taste of something new."

When Hu Wei heard about sleeping with a woman, his face immediately darkened and he said sullenly, "I won't eat anymore."

The person blowing the candy figure looked confused, and Liu Bai laughed when he heard it.

The remaining man and woman also opened the boxes. Liu Bai looked at them for a while. The woman with squinting eyes seemed to be a woodcarver. There were a few carved figurines on the table.

The remaining man looked like a grocer, with everything in his shop.

Liu Bai walked forward to look around curiously, and saw that her stall was filled with a stack of cut paper money, several plates of shiny walnuts, and old items such as oil pans and candlesticks.

The peddler saw that Liu Baisheng was handsome and had gone too far, so he smiled and explained to him, "Kid, have you seen my paper money?"

"This is very useful."

"What's the use?"

"This paper money of mine is called life-buying paper money. If you have it, and you encounter an evil spirit that you can't defeat, just give it the money. It will not attack you after taking the money."

"So magical!" Liu Bai cooperated very well and made an exaggerated expression.

Master Ma came over from behind, grabbed it and pulled it away, glaring at him and saying, "Shopkeeper Qian, this is not fair. How can you coax a child?"

After that, he explained to Liu Bai, "It's not that magical. This paper money is just a fake. If someone is stronger than you, it's useless to give them paper money. If someone is not as strong as you, they will run away even if you don't give them paper money."

"Master Ma, this is boring." The peddler Qian spread his hands.

Master Ma laughed, "If Shopkeeper Qian can get the money to grind the millstone, I will definitely buy it even if I sell everything I have."

"If I can't get that, why would I need to be a peddler if I can get that thing?"

Hu Wei asked, "Master Ma, what is the millstone?" "Money can make ghosts mill. If you have that thing, once you use it, the ghosts will listen to you and do whatever you tell them to do."

Shopkeeper Qian took over the conversation and explained.

When Liu Bai heard this, he looked back. Xiao Cao cooperated and said, "No need to pay for grinding the mill. As long as you tell me to do something, I will do it."

"You are a servant ghost, which is different."

The peddler waved his hands without further explanation.

Master Ma was just joking, and then he came to the candy blower and said, "Master Lu, give me two candy figures for my two good disciples to taste."

"okay!"

"Master Ma is so generous, haha." With the business coming in, the candy figure maker became more energetic and immediately stood up and started to work.

If you want to blow out a sugar man, the first part is not difficult, but the difficult part is blowing that part.

This was the first time Liu Bai had seen it in his past or present life, so he leaned in to take a closer look.

Master Lu first pulled out a small pot from under the box in front of him and added some icing sugar into it. After doing all this, he picked out a small black ball from the bottom and placed it under the small stove and lit it.

Amid the haze of firelight, a sweet smell instantly filled the room.

When the remaining disciples of Aunt Peng and Li Daoba smelled the scent, their eyes lit up and they looked at their master with hope.

Master Lu, who is also good at blowing sugar figures, uses a small wooden stick to stir the sugar figures gently, making the sugar taste even sweeter.

So the final result was that the disciples of Master Ma, Aunt Peng and Scar Li each had a sugar man in their hands.

Liu Bai was also eating it. How should I put it... It was very sweet, too sweet, and after eating it, his whole body really felt warm.

Just as they were eating, they heard the sound of smacking lips, as well as low grunts and whispers outside the tent.

It sends chills down one's spine.

"Master Lu, your cooking skills are really good. Not only people want to eat it, but even ghosts want to eat it." Master Ma said with a smile as he rolled the tobacco leaves he had just bought.

"That's natural. How can we lose our ability to look after the house?"

After Master Lu finished speaking, he instantly ignited his life fire. As the heat wave hit him, the cold feeling also subsided a lot.

But there were still several footsteps walking back and forth outside the house.

Master Lu said with a smile: "Master Ma, it seems that you still have to come. My fire is still not strong enough after all."

"Yeah, OK."

Master Ma did not refuse this little thing. He shrugged his shoulders and three life fires rose from his body. Suddenly, even the flame on Master Lu's shoulder seemed to be suppressed a little.

Seeing this, Liu Bai immediately understood that among this group of people, Master Ma was probably the strongest one.

After all, a sixty-year-old virgin chicken isn’t used for nothing!
Things were simple after that. Master Ma lit a fire and all the evil spirits were scared away.

Peng Gu bought a wood carving from the woman who carved it. The price was not low, and it cost several white beads.

Li Daoba bought several packets of yellow medicine powder from the peddler, but he didn't know what effect it had.

Everyone gained something from this evening.

As for at night, if a room full of ghost-walking people gather together, even without lighting a fire, those blind evil spirits can avoid them.

At daybreak the next day, a group of people set off shouting.

Everybody was going to the city, so naturally they all walked together. When they originally left Huangliang Town, there were only three of them, Liu Bai and his companions, but after one night, they had become a convoy.

But Liu Bai also noticed that all the people on the road basically had horse-drawn carriages or donkey carts.

But Master Duan, the mountain driver, was an exception. He measured the distance from Wupeng Mountain to Xueshi City with his own feet.
