"Lingzi, you're awake."

A voice of surprise came, and the old mother came over with a smile on her face, still holding a bowl of hot soup in her hand, and a boy chicken in it, which looked like it had been stewed for a long time.

"You kid, what were you doing last night, I don't even know when you came back, and I can't wake you up when you wake up, which really makes me anxious." My mother's voice was worried, and she looked at me and said with some anger.

Originally, I wanted to ask who sent me back, but when I heard my mother's words, I knew that the person sent me back to the house directly, and did not alarm my family, and it seemed that he didn't want me to know who it was.

"Yesterday, the second master and I went to look for Baili Xueji, I was too tired to look for it all night, and I fell asleep when I came back," I panicked casually, anyway, Liu Baiwen didn't know where to go, and there was no burden at all to use him as a shield.

Hearing that I was looking for Baili Xueji, my mother's face softened, and she brought the chicken soup to me and said, "Lingzi, hasn't Baili Xueji been found yet?" ”

I nodded, lowered my head and took a sip of the chicken soup, and suddenly found that the chicken soup was simply delicious, I really wanted to swallow it with my tongue, I drank the chicken soup in a few bites, and found that the meat of the chicken inside had been stewed, and there was only a white chicken bone left in the big bowl, which had to be simmered for a long time to do it.

I looked at my mother with some gratitude, my mother must have been busy for me this day, but thinking about it, since I was a child, it seems that I have never done anything to my mother, and I can't help but feel a little ashamed.

I secretly made up my mind that when I got rich, I would have to let my parents live in a small western-style house and hold their grandchildren and enjoy the joy of family.

"What about you?"

My mother glared at me a little angrily, but there was no blame in her eyes, and I immediately relieved myself, "I haven't found it yet, but with the help of the second master, I should find it soon, by the way, I still have to go to the second master to continue looking." ”

After saying that, I jumped out of bed, walked out in a few steps, it was dark again, but my father was not in the house, but I didn't care too much, maybe my father went to visit the door, and my mother hurriedly chased him out from behind: "Lingzi, it's dark, what are you going out for?" ”

"I'm going to find Baili Yukihime." As soon as I said a word, I thought about walking outside the hospital, and behind me was my mother's worried advice, telling me to be careful and pay attention to my body.

I turned my head and responded, and when I walked out the door, I found that there was still a fire in the kitchen, the lid of the cauldron was tightly lid, and there was a white mist coming out of the surroundings.

Just a casual glance I walked out of the door, and bumped into my father who was coming home, my father was knocked back by me, I quickly took a step to hold my father, and suddenly found that my father's body was wet, as if he had just come out of the water.

"What are you doing with the stinky boy, you are reckless and want to knock me to death." Dad shook off my hand, his face was a little gloomy, and it seemed that he felt a little embarrassed by being knocked backwards by me.

"Dad, what are you doing, why is there so much water on your body." I quickly changed the subject, and as I spoke, I saw that my father was still holding a bamboo basket in his hand, and something was wrapped in a net bag, which had several finger-sized holes, dripping water from time to time.

Dad casually gestured to the bamboo basket in his hand: "I'll go to the river to catch a few fish, otherwise what else will I eat." ”

When I was talking, my mother had already come up, and my father handed the bamboo basket into my mother's hand, and then said to me: "Why are you going out again, didn't I tell you?" Don't go out at night, you see you have been lying down every time you go out for the past two days, and you are not allowed to go out today. ”

"Dad, I still have to go to Baili Xueji, and besides, I go with the second master, every time I lie down and come back, it's because I'm too tired, you don't know, my body has been weak since I was a child." I said casually, now I can only talk about Baili Xueji, after all, in the eyes of their two elders, Baili Xueji is a daughter-in-law, and she must be found, otherwise she would not have sent so much food to Liu Baiwen for help.

Dad's face softened when he heard me talk about Baili Xueji, and sighed, "Remember not to run around alone, follow your second master, otherwise no one will be able to save you if something happens, and you are weak, remember to come back on time for dinner." ”

My mother hurriedly gave me a look, and I immediately turned around and ran, but when I turned around, I suddenly saw the bamboo basket that my mother was carrying trembled violently, and a blood-colored eye appeared in the hole in the net pocket, which was like a human eye, full of resentment and hatred.

That look made my heart tremble, but before I could see clearly that my body had turned around, I quickly turned back to look at the bamboo basket in my mother's hand, but at this time my mother was weighing the bamboo basket up and down, and the fish in the net pocket were also beating wildly, and I couldn't see the eye just now in the hole.

"This time the fish has to be three or four catties, Lingzi, when I come back, my mother will make you fish soup to drink."

After my mother finished speaking, she turned around to leave, but I was startled by the eye just now, because that eye reminded me of the bloodscale ghost doll in Song Qian's small courtyard, and the eyes of those bloodscale ghost dolls were like that at the beginning.

Could it be that the fish in the bamboo basket is a bloodscale ghost doll?

Although I knew that it was almost impossible, I still walked a few steps quickly, snatched the bamboo basket in my mother's hand, opened the sealing line of the net pocket and looked over, there were two black carp, each weighing three or four pounds, looking fat and strong, the mouth kept opening and closing, and when I opened it, I also made a stiff start, and it looked like it had just been caught.

"Lingzi, what are you doing grabbing the bamboo basket if you have nothing to do?" My mother said a little complaining, and at the same time took the bamboo basket back from my hand.

I laughed, "I haven't seen any fish here in years, and today I can't help but want to see my dad catching fish and coming back." ”

"You kid is really, who told you not to come back for a few years," the mother said as her eyes began to glow, and before she could finish speaking, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen, and said: "If you are looking for someone, you should also pay attention to your body, don't be tired, remember to come back for dinner." ”

"Got it." I responded, enduring the ripples in my heart, if it wasn't really no way, who would want to wander outside, thinking that I hadn't honored my parents well for a few years, I felt even more indebted to their nurturing grace.

Following the sand road in the village, I soon came to Liu Baiwen's house, but at the moment the wooden house was pitch black, standing alone in the woods.
