Folklore: The baby starts the game, and the mother takes off her painted skin
Chapter 377 Extra 1 An Ordinary Day for Liu Bai and His Mother
“Master, you said you are the master of the world now, the whole world belongs to you, you are the Lord of Heaven… why can’t you catch any fish?!”
In the creek outside Huangliang Town, Xiaocao looked at the empty fish basket and sighed.
The thought of returning home and the little boy having no fish to eat and the queen having no fish to cook.
Xiaocao’s little head felt like it was twice as big.
“Is it because I can’t catch any fish?! I’m just tempering my character!”
Liu Bai said earnestly: “Xiao Cao, do you know why I can become the master of the world, but you can’t?”
“The grass knows this because you are the son of the grass!”
Xiaocao, who was originally squatting beside Liu Bai, turned his head and said with a smile.
Liu Bai: “Because I’m not that talkative.”
“Oh, Xiaocao knows. It’s just that the young master thinks Xiaocao is too annoying. Can’t Xiaocao leave? Xiaocao will leave now.”
After Xiaocao finished speaking, he sniffed and walked towards the town dejectedly.
Liu Bai pulled the fishing rod at the right time, and a fresh crucian carp on the fishing rod jumped up and down, splashing a large amount of water.
“It’s hooked, it’s hooked, Xiaocao, come and unload the fish.”
Xiao Cao came over immediately, alive and kicking, but still said harshly, “Hehe, Master, don’t think Xiao Cao doesn’t know. You used other abilities to catch this.”
“How could you catch any fish?”
Liu Bai naturally ignored Xiao Cao’s nonsense. After another half hour, he went home carrying a basket full of fish.
When passing by Huangliang Town, he greeted these old friends familiarly.
“Look at you, young master. You’ve been fishing so late. The queen has gone home. You’ll definitely be scolded when you go back later!”
When passing by his own red candle shop, Liu Bai looked at the closed door and subconsciously stopped.
He knew that there was a room inside the shop, which Madam Liu had never allowed him to enter since he was a child.
Later, when he was able to go in, he felt a little hesitant.
Just like this time when he searched all over the world for the stone tablets left by Lei Jie, he looked all over the world but did not see that room.
Liu Bai only paused for a moment and soon caught up.
“It’s okay. I just said that I had been planning to use my ability to get some fish, but Xiao Cao wouldn’t let me and insisted that I fish by myself.”
“what!!!”
Xiaocao jumped onto Liu Bai’s back and massaged Liu Bai madly with her little fists.
half an hour.
Liu Bai, who was scolded when he got home, sat dejectedly at the door. Not far away, Xiao Gudong was holding a live fish, wanting to eat it but stopping himself.
As soon as Liu Bai thought about it, the live fish in her hand turned into a fragrant grilled fish.
Little Gudong looked at it and his eyes lit up.
“Ouch——”
Take a big bite.
The grilled fish immediately turned into a piece of stone. Little Gudong raised his head and started crying.
Liu Bai laughed out loud.
“Snapped–“
He was immediately hit on the back of his head, “You bully little Gudong!”
Liu Bai first returned the grilled fish to Xiao Gudong, causing the latter to run under the peach tree to eat it. Then he turned back to look at Madam Liu and said with a sad face:
“Mom, I am already the ancestor god and the master of this world. Can you please give me some face?”
“Face? Lord of the world?”
Madam Liu sneered and said, “Even if you become the master of the great world, I will still fight you if I want to.”
“Yes, yes, you are my mother, you are right.”
Liu Bai rolled his eyes and turned away.
He just felt that this kind of life was leisurely and comfortable. Not to mention eight hundred years, even if it was hundreds of thousands of years, he would not get tired of it.
“Sir, I think you have no choice now. If you find a wife, the queen will stop beating you immediately.”
On top of the peach tree, Xiaocao swung his legs and said with a smile.
But as soon as it finished speaking, it found that the gazes of the two ancestral gods were falling on it.
One filled with murderous intent.
One…seemingly has an idea?
Xiao Cao wanted to open his mouth… No, where is my mouth! Where is my mouth!
Xiaocao also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he could only look at Liu Bai for mercy.
The latter turned around happily and said to Xiao Cao in his heart: “Brother Cao is very generous. Thank you for your method!”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”
Xiaocao had tears in her eyes, but she could only swallow them.
Dinner was still prepared by Madam Liu, but after dinner as usual, Madam Liu did not go out for a walk as usual, but stopped at the door.
Liu Bai knew that she was waiting for him, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to the door.
Looking at his mother who was wearing a long green dress and had unknowingly become half a head shorter than him, Liu Bai felt a little complicated.
“I’m going out for a walk.” Madam Liu said softly without turning her head.
“Then let’s go…” Liu Bai said halfway before he realized, “Mother means… to go outside the domain?”
“Ah.”
Madam Liu turned around and had to slightly raise her head to see Liu Bai’s face. She took a deep breath and lost her previous sternness. Instead, she smiled and said, “It has been a hundred years since the battle with ghosts and gods, when the master of the Wheel Hall of the Underworld of the Great World came here.”
“My mother and I have been in seclusion for a hundred years.”
“My words… you can see it clearly. I can also feel your strength. It is getting stronger day by day. If that’s the case, it’s time to go out for a walk.”
“Mother, you are so quiet that you want to move.”
After becoming a god, traveling outside the domain, he still fought and killed, there was no difference. In comparison, Liu Bai still preferred to stay at home, accompany his mother, and feel his strength growing every day.
“Yes.”
Madam Liu did not deny it.
“Since mother wants to leave, then as a son, I must accompany her.” Liu Bai stepped forward, “How about we leave after the New Year?”
“it is good.”
“It’s time to let the entire starry sky know about the reputation of us, the mother and daughter of the Liu family.” Liu Bai crossed his arms over his chest and said proudly.
Madam Liu rolled her eyes at him and didn’t bother to pay attention to him.
“But we agreed that if we really encounter danger, you have to let me go. Mom, don’t be angry.” Liu Bai couldn’t help but reminded again.
“Don’t worry, you won’t die now.”
But just after she finished speaking, Madam Liu couldn’t help but grab Liu Bai’s ear and said coldly: “What do you mean I’m throwing a tantrum? Huh?”
“You said I was having a bad temper?”
“It hurts.”
Liu Bai begged for mercy repeatedly.
Only then did Madam Liu let go.
That night.
Liu Bai was lying on his bed, his eyes shining. At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts about what the outside world would be like.
Not sleepy at all.
But at the last minute, he thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind.
His figure disappeared from the bed, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived at the Red Candle Shop in the small town, and came to the door of the room that was always closed.
This place was locked in the early years, but it is not locked now.
Liu Bai only needed to push the door open lightly, so… he pushed it open.
The hands are shaking a little.
The furnishings in the room were extremely simple, so simple that even Liu Bai was a little surprised, because there was only one table.
But the furnishings were extremely complicated, so complicated that the walls were covered with clothes.
Liu Bai could tell at a glance that these clothes were all the ones he had worn before, starting from the age of one, with one set every year, all hung on the wall.
There is one piece of clothing he still remembers. He wore it when he went to Ma’s village, but he didn’t want to wash it, so he just threw it away when it got dirty.
Later, it seemed that it was picked up by other teenagers.
But in fact, the one who picked up the clothes was actually Madam Liu.
Because those… were all sewn by Madam Liu herself when she was not looking after the shop.
For a moment, Liu Bai felt that he was not a good son, and even had the urge to slap himself.
He walked forward to the table, on which were placed things related to him.
There were toys that he and Xiaocao had played with when they were bored at home.
There are also some leftovers from the gifts that Madam Liu had prepared for him, such as the longevity lock that Madam Liu had made here with her own hands.
Liu Bai has never been here.
But everything here is related to him.
In a trance, a sentence seemed to pop up in Liu Bai’s mind.
“Tonight, I don’t care about humans. I only care about you.”
For others, it may just be tonight, but for Madam Liu, it is like this every night.
Liu Bai also understood that he would always say how much he missed his mother.
But Madam Liu never said such a thing.
Liu Bai now understood that if Madam Liu wanted to say something, she could only say one sentence.
“I miss you just as much as you do, because I was thinking about you before you came into this world…”
Liu Bai turned around and looked at Madam Liu who had appeared at the door without knowing when. He moved his lips slightly and called softly:
“mother.”

ps1: I wrote this extra chapter last night. When I got to the end, I suddenly remembered something a female friend told me.
She has reached the marriageable age, and her family is always urging her to get married.
Once she got annoyed by the urging and asked her mother, “You are always urging me to get married. You are also a woman, so tell me, what benefits has marriage brought you?”
Her mother was silent for a long time, and finally uttered only three words.
“with you.”
I was really touched after listening to her talk…
