Chapter 618: Gathering

Dressed in human skin, Li Sui sat on the Bai Family Courtyard steps overgrown with green moss, knees together.

She gazed at the lard candy in the child's hand, with pure curiosity filling her large eyes. "Is this thing tasty?"

The little boy, about seven or eight years old, dressed in a tiger head hat and shoes, whose child from the village remained unknown, couldn't take his eyes off Li Sui's exquisite face.

After waiting quite a while, as if snapping back to reality, he nodded vigorously, grabbed Li Sui's hand, and hurried towards his home.

He dragged Li Sui into his home's kitchen and, imitating his mother, used chopsticks to lift a big chunk of solidified lard out of the oil jar and tossed it into the sugar pot.

Once the large chunk of lard had rolled around inside, picking up a thick layer of red granulated sugar, a piece of lard candy was ready.

The child, his ponytail sticking straight up, carefully presented the lard candy to Li Sui.
