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

Chapter 77: You miss your mother right after she left?

Liu Bai could vaguely sense that something big was about to happen to his mother.

There were signs right from the beginning with the skinning ghost incident.

At that time, Madam Liu revealed that there was someone testing her behind the scenes.

What's more, Zhang Cang, who appeared out of nowhere in the town, also knew his mother... and his mother just said that she was waiting for a few old friends to come and visit.

In this case, Liu Bai knew without further explanation that it was most likely the people behind the scenes who were coming.

But they have come from so far away, and considering my mother's current attitude, is it possible that they are meeting for tea and reminiscing about the past?

They... have bad intentions!
In an instant, Liu Bai felt his head suddenly filled with blood, and he could even feel his temples throbbing.

You can even hear the sound of blood flowing throughout your body.

Faintly, Liu Bai felt a surge of brutality and bloodlust in himself.

kill!

Whoever dares to lay a hand on my mother will die!
Just when Liu Bai's eyes were about to turn red, Madam Liu reached out and patted him gently on the back of his head.

All the feelings disappeared like flowing water, even the boiling blood calmed down instantly.

"What are you thinking about?"

Madam Liu reached out and tapped his forehead gently. "I'm not going far. I'll just walk around here and be back soon."

After that, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't worry, if I have anything, I will definitely tell you."

"I won't tell you now, it's just not the right time yet, you know?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Mom doesn't like kids who have wild imaginations."

Liu Bai lowered his head, "I understand."

Liu Bai felt that Madam Liu had been very gentle to him these past two days and had not been cold to him at all.

This feeling still made him feel uncomfortable.

Maybe everyone is a little bit mean, Liu Bai is still used to Madam Liu being a little cold towards him.

"Okay, go back and play. I'm going to lock the door." Madam Liu was going out, so it was impossible for her to leave Liu Bai alone here to watch the store.

After his mother gave the order, Liu Bai had no choice but to go home.

This time, what Madam Liu was going to do seemed to be really unusual, because Liu Bai discovered that she took the grass away with her.

After returning home, Liu Bai was in a very low mood. He lay on the bed for a while and thought of something.

He went down underground from the entrance at the end of the bed.

As soon as he got here, a cold feeling immediately came over him, and before he could open his mouth, a sound came from the closet.

At first it was the voice of the pink skirted human skin, "Xiaobai, do you miss your mother now? Come here and let your mother hug you."

Then the red skirt human skin spoke, "Heh, I just left for a short time, and you're acting like this?! What will you do when you grow up?"

"Can you stay with me forever?"

The red skirt human skin's voice was very cold and stern, "Besides, it's not like I won't be back, why don't you get out!"

Hearing this, Liu Bai's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little. He let out a long sigh and immediately returned to the ground level from the stairs.

But he still said, "I just wanted to come and see you. If you don't want to, forget it."

The pink-skirted humanoid hurriedly sighed a few times, as if regretting something, but Liu Bai had already gone out.

Liu Bai didn't know how long he had been lying on the bed. He only knew that when he came out from underground, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.

When I opened the door, it was Situ Honglao who came to cook.

Today, she no longer had her previous coldness and arrogance, nor was she wearing the white dress that kept people at a distance. Instead, she changed into a gentle and simple yellow dress, and even her makeup looked much more friendly.

After meeting, she first bowed slightly and saluted, then called out "Young Master" softly.

Liu Bai made way for her and waited for her to enter the door before he tilted his head and asked, "Can you cook?"

When Situ Hong heard this, she actually smiled and said, "Young Master, you will know after you try my cooking skills."

Liu Bai was really curious, are all the young ladies in this world so flirty?
She also needs to know how to cook... But when Liu Bai followed her to the kitchen and saw her rolling up her sleeves to light the fire and take the pot off the stove, he knew that Situ Hong in front of him could indeed cook. And from the looks of it, she was very familiar with it.

Liu Bai was bored, so she started to ask, "Why do I feel like you don't look like a young lady?"

While washing the rice and putting it into the pot, Situ Hong replied, "To be honest, sir, I have been the eldest daughter of the Situ family for less than a year, and I am really not used to it."

Liu Bai immediately recalled what happened in Yinmai before. At that time, Liu Bai was curious. Since Situ Hong was so talented, why hadn't he ignited the fire at such a big age?
Coupled with this contact, Liu Bai felt that there seemed to be some secret about Situ Hong.

Liu Bai asked again.

Situ Hong did not hide it, and even smiled and took the initiative to explain: "This servant..."

"Don't call me a servant anymore, just speak quickly." Liu Bai was not used to hearing that.

When Situ Hong heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "In fact, I am my father's illegitimate daughter, and I have been taken back to the Situ family for less than a year."

"Before I was brought back, I had actually been living in Qingshan City. I was just an ordinary citizen... not even as good as an ordinary person."

As Situ Hong spoke, she seemed to be thinking of her past experiences, and her smile was somewhat bitter.

"But later, someone from the Situ family came to my house and said that I was the illegitimate daughter of Situ Liang... my father, the current patriarch of the Situ family, and then took me back to Blood Food City."

"Later, after the ancestor tested my aptitude for walking the underworld, I somehow became the eldest daughter of the Situ family."

Liu Bai looked at her skilled cooking skills and felt that she must be telling the truth.

Situ Hong hesitated for a while, and then said, "In fact, the ancestor asked me to come here to serve the young master, and I feel more comfortable than being the eldest daughter in the Situ family."

"Oh?"

Liu Bai sat on the chair, swinging his legs, "Why?"

Situ Hong had already started washing vegetables and said with a smile, "Because there aren't so many people watching me here, I feel very comfortable. It's just like... it's similar to my life in Qingshan City."

"I have a younger brother there, too. After my mother went out to work, I was the one who did the laundry and cooked for him."

"Besides, the young master is kind-hearted and won't make things difficult for others." After saying this, Situ Hong even smiled playfully at Liu Bai.

This person... seems interesting.

Liu Bai remembered the lesson that Madam Liu had just taught him, that he should be wary of everyone around him.

Take Situ Hong for example. Let’s look at the two times Liu Bai met her before.

Whether on the way to the Yinmai or in the ghost market, her demeanor as a young lady... doesn't seem to be anything she's not used to.

The second thing is what she just said, although it seemed like she was just chatting or having a heart-to-heart talk.

But in fact, after hearing these words, if Liu Bai was a normal child, he would probably be much friendlier to her.

Unfortunately, Liu Bai is not normal.

So judging from the above situations, Situ Hong is definitely a woman with deep scheming.

At least judging from the current performance, yes.

Liu Bai didn’t know whether Madam Liu knew all this. Maybe she knew, or maybe she didn’t?
Maybe he simply found himself a maid to cook for him?

Liu Bai couldn't grasp what his mother was thinking.

While waiting for the meal, Liu Bai discovered that Situ Hong's cooking skills were really good, even better than the food he had eaten at Lao Getou's before.

But compared with the food cooked by Madam Liu, it still cannot be compared.

The food my mother cooks is the most delicious.

After lunch, Liu Bai was bored at home, so he prepared to go out for a walk, and Situ Hong also said she wanted to go with him.

But before he had been walking on the street for long, Liu Bai discovered that something was really happening in the town.

Could it be that... this matter is also related to what my mother is going to face?
