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

Chapter 68: Did your family teach you? [Seeking follow-up reading]

This time, the one shouting was not a thatched shop on the street, but a store on the side of the street, which even had a sitting lion at the door.

There is also a plaque hanging above it - Ghost Shop.

"This is the shop of the Short Knife Gang." Mr. Ma seemed to be a frequent visitor to this ghost market. He knew many of the things here by heart.

Liu Bai remembered that Master Ma mentioned on the way here that the Short Knife Gang was the most wild.

And at this moment... after the owner of the haunted shop shouted, many ghost walkers nearby immediately crowded over.

There were far more people here than those who had gone to watch the fun at the clay figurine before.

"Master Ma, is this thing very useful?" Hu Wei asked without understanding.

"If I had this thing, I could burn my spirit to perfection, and then I can think about gathering the five energies."

Master Ma spoke very quickly and walked even faster. In the blink of an eye, he led the two of them to the door of the haunted house.

Relying on his strength, he pushed aside the two ghost walkers and entered the haunted house amid their cursing.

Unlike other places, Liu Bai can feel the warmth as soon as he enters this place.

There were very few goods in the house, and none of them were placed outside the cabinet. They were all on the shelves inside the counter. It was obvious that they were too precious and could not be touched by anyone.

The "First Soul Oil" that the shopkeeper had shouted before was placed in the most conspicuous position on the shelf, and then marked in large black letters on red paper.

Liu Bai also saw that the primordial soul oil was contained in a yellowish-brown porcelain bottle, plugged with a wooden stopper and covered with oil paper.

The bottle is not big, only about the size of a palm.

At this moment, the shopkeeper was standing in front of the primordial soul oil, wearing a mask, and Liu Bai couldn't see what his expression was.

But I guess he must be smiling when he saw so many people coming in.

More and more people came in. Master Ma relied on his great strength, holding Liu Bai and Hu Wei in his left and right hands respectively, and stood in the middle without moving.

The rest of the people could only walk to the sides. In just a moment, the huge room was full of people, but people still kept squeezing in.

Some of the Yin-walkers began to curse until a fierce woman's voice was heard.

"Why are you squeezing me? My milk will come out if you squeeze me any more."

The crowd quieted down a lot, and the shopkeeper finally spoke up, laughing and saying, "Don't worry, don't worry, the one with the highest bid will win. Even those standing outside can bid."

"Okay, without further ado, I'm sure you all know the effects of the Primordial Soul Oil. The starting price is one cyan Yin Pearl!"

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, Mr. Ma beside Liu Bai shouted at the top of his voice: "Ten green beads!"

The sound was so loud that it scared Liu Bai, and the people around him were so frightened that they huddled aside.

Then a bunch of people started cursing.

"You are the only one who has money, right?"

"How can you shout like that? You shouted ten in one breath, why don't you shout a hundred Qingzhuzi!"

Mr. Ma was very tall. He turned his head and saw the man who was talking. He glared at him and said, "Coward, if you have the guts, don't run away after you leave the ghost market. See you at the entrance of Xinkai Alley in the south of the city!"

"And you guys, if you have money, bid your price, if you don't have money, shut up!"

It was the first time that Liu Bai had seen such an arrogant Master Ma. At the same time, he also had a clearer understanding of what he said when he entered the city, that the ghost walkers from the mountains were rampant and unscrupulous.

As expected, after he shouted, no one around spoke.

Until a loud laugh was heard at the door, "This old man is indeed a man of character. I am interested in eleven green Yin beads."

Master Ma said without hesitation, "Twelve."

A dull voice sounded from the corner, "Thirteen."

"Fourteen!" Master Ma shouted in a determined tone.

The voice at the door sounded again, "Fifteen."

"Sixteen." A voice came from the corner.

This time, Master Ma couldn't bear it anymore and said directly: "Thirty pieces!"

The crowd quieted down for a moment, and Liu Bai could already hear people cursing, "fool" and "idiot".

There was no more sound in the corner, and the one at the door just laughed and said, "Brother, the price is high, bye!"

For a moment, Liu Bai was also curious about how many Yin Pearls Mr. Ma had and why he bid so high a price.

The shopkeeper did not give up and waited for a while. Finally, when no one spoke, he shouted to Mr. Ma, "Congratulations to this ghost."

When the others saw this, they finished watching the excitement and walked towards the door cursing. Mr. Ma walked to the counter and started paying for the goods.

But some people still stopped here, as if they wanted to see if something else might happen, such as the person bidding could not hand over enough Yin beads.

It's a pity that Master Ma has so many. After taking the goods, Liu Bai followed Master Ma all the way out. Perhaps because they were afraid of exposing their identities, neither of them spoke.

It wasn't until they were out for quite a while that Liu Bai asked, "How come you are so rich?"

"Ok?"

A strange voice sounded beside him. Liu Bai raised his head hastily and stared at the person next to him. "Who are you?"

"and who are you?"

"It's over."

Liu Bai now realized that he had followed the wrong person and apologized. He quickly looked back and saw that although there were quite a few people on the street, they all looked exactly the same.

How to find this?
And I didn’t see anyone looking for anyone.

"Xiao Cao, have you seen it?"

"No ah."

Xiao Cao was also looking around, "I don't know when the young master followed the wrong one."

Liu Bai: "..."

"Why don't you wait here, Master Ma and his men might come looking for us soon."

"It can only be this way."

Liu Bai found a higher stone step nearby and sat there waiting, but after waiting for a long time, no one showed up.

"Oh shit."

Liu Bai patted his butt and stood up. "When the show ends later, they will definitely be waiting at the door. Just look for them then."

It's really uncomfortable to sit here and wait for people instead of going out to broaden your horizons in such a huge ghost market.

Liu Bai was not worried. If it really didn't work... he would just call for his mother.

With a positive attitude, he was very relaxed. After going down the stairs, he strolled on the street alone with Xiaocao.

He often goes in and out of this house, and then strolls around the thatched shops on this street.

After a while, he really saw something he liked in a thatched shop on the street.

It was an old object, a delicate and small porcelain figurine, still covered in mud, as if it had just been unearthed.

The reason why Liu Bai likes it is very simple, because these little figures are a mother and son.

The mother was holding a child in her arms, and both of them were smiling happily.

Liu Bai didn’t know what the use of this was, but he felt that if he gave it to his mother, she would definitely like it.

So he asked the shopkeeper about the price.

The store owner raised a finger.

Liu Bai immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "A white bead, right? OK."

This time when he went out, Madam Liu only gave him silver, but there were still some beads left from what she had given him before, including about one green bead and a few white beads.

But the shopkeeper sneered and said, "Where did you get this little kid? Where are your parents?"

"You must be joking. It's just a white bead."

Liu Bai stopped taking out the money and asked, "How much do you want, one green bead?"

If that's really the case, that's fine. After all, it's bought for my mother, so Liu Bai won't feel bad about it.

"Ten, green beads!"

"This is from Huaishan Patriarch..."

Before the shopkeeper could finish his words, Liu Bai had already put the thing back. What the hell? This is not the way to cheat people.

The porcelain figure was put back, safely and securely.

But just when Liu Bai was about to leave, the porcelain figure suddenly fell out, hit the ground, and broke into pieces with a "pop".

Liu Bai stopped and the shopkeeper also stood up.

Even through the mask, Liu Bai seemed to be able to see his smile.

"Little kid, I don't know if your family has ever taught you that if you break someone else's things... you have to pay for it."
