Mo Ruyue sighed unconsciously. She suddenly put down the rope and said in a low voice, “Wait for me. I’m going to pick some herbs.”

As an assassin, it was common for them to bleed and get injured. Their missions were often dangerous and confidential, so they couldn’t go to the hospital or clinic to treat their injuries. If the situation was critical, survival in the wild was the only way to survive. Therefore, in addition to learning various survival skills, they also had to learn herbal knowledge in case of emergencies.

Mo Ruyue picked some herbs she was familiar with along the way.

Da Bao looked at her in surprise as she threw a large handful of prickly vegetables into the cart. He could not help but ask, “Why are you pulling out so many thorny vegetables? I can’t eat it.”

“These are called thistles. You can rub the tender leaves or flowers and apply them to wounds. It can quickly stop the bleeding, dispel blood clots, and reduce swelling. It also has antibacterial properties.”

“What’s antibacterial?” Da Bao was a little confused.

“It’s to kill the poisonous insects on your wounds. A poisonous bug that you can’t see with your eyes. ” As Mo Ruyue spoke, she picked some wormwood, white grass root, and hairy money grass, all of which could be used to treat bruises, diarrhea, and other diseases.

There were many children at home, and all of them were weak, so these herbs could be used.

However, Da Bao looked at her with a complicated expression as she skillfully picked the herbs. He was even more puzzled. “You… How do you know so much? I’ve never heard that you could recognize herbs.”

If the bad woman could recognize so many herbs, why didn’t she find a way to cure herself when she was sick and couldn’t get out of bed?

Mo Ruyue looked at him indifferently and said expressionlessly, “It doesn’t matter if you knew it in the past, as long as you know it in the future.”

After saying that, she pulled the cart and walked down the mountain without looking back. She had a ‘don’t come near me look on her face, which was a sign that she refused to talk.

Da Bao pursed his lips and quickly followed with his sister on his back. He helped her drag the cart down as usual, but the combination of mother and son and the wild boar was too harmonious and strange.

On their way home, they attracted the attention of the villagers. Some were curious about the wild boar’s origin, while others said bad things.

“How did they get such a big wild boar?”

“This wild boar can be sold for a lot of money! Did they pick up the prey left by the hunters?”

“I think Mo Ruyue is crazy poor. She can even sell her own child. What else can she not do?”

In addition to those who were making sarcastic remarks, there were also some onlookers who tried to persuade her.

“Ruyue, although you and Qin Ming are not fated to be husband and wife, you still joined the family after praying to heaven and earth. You also have to raise these children up. You can’t really be crazy and sell them to human traffickers.”

“That’s right, that’s right. If you really sell Qin Ming’s son, he won’t be able to live in peace in the afterlife.”

Mo Ruyue was already so tired that her heart was filled with irritation. Now that she was surrounded and unable to move, she suddenly swept a cold glance around. Although she didn’t say a word, the murderous intent in her eyes frightened everyone.

Everyone shut up in unison.

However, in the silence, Da Bao suddenly put down the rope and said fiercely, “You crazy woman, you actually called someone to buy the children. You big liar!”

Da Bao’s heart, which had just been soothed by Mo Ruyue, turned cold in an instant.

He rushed over and gave Mo Ruyue a hard kick, then turned around and rushed back home, leaving behind some harsh words.

“You dare to sell my brother? I won’t let you off!”

Mo Ruyue frowned. A burst of pain came from her calf, but for an assassin who had been walking on the edge of death all year round, it was just a harmless kick.

However, the aura around her was still cold. “This heartless brat! He changed his attitude faster than someone flips the pages of a book.”

Mo Ruyue pulled a long face and dragged the wooden cart home with great effort.

Fortunately, the house was not far. She had just dragged it to the neighbor’s door when she saw Da Bao rushing out in a hurry, almost knocking her away.

“You! Why did you come back by yourself?”

Da Bao saw blood oozing out of Mo Ruyue’s arm and grabbed the rope with some guilt. However, he still said fiercely, “You didn’t sell my brothers. Why didn’t you say so just now?”

Mo Ruyue stretched out her left leg to show him the footprint. She sneered. “You would believe me just because I told you?”

Da Bao’s breathing suddenly became heavier, and his ears turned red. It was unknown if it was from anger or embarrassment.

But he didn’t talk back anymore. He just took a handful of medicinal herbs from the cart and crushed them, then fiercely stuffed them into Mo Ruyue’s hands. “You… you deal with the wound. I’ll tow the cart.”

After he finished speaking, he was about to drag the cart home.

Mo Ruyue’s eyes swept over and saw the woman standing at the neighbor’s door. She suddenly pressed on Da Bao’s shoulder. “You stand there first.”

Da Bao was stunned for a moment. He instinctively shook off her hand vigilantly. “What are you doing?”

“Exchange for food.” Mo Ruyue had never mistreated herself. After hunting a wild boar, she would first make a delicious meal to feed her stomach before thinking about selling it for money.

She looked at the surprised woman who was leaning against the door and calmly pointed to the wild boar on the cart and asked, “Juan Zi, do you want wild boar meat? I want to exchange it for some rice.”

Although Aunt Liu had seen Mo Ruyue beat the old woman away with her own eyes, Mo Ruyue’s image as a vicious stepmother was deeply rooted in her heart. She was still a little unwilling to deal with Mo Ruyue.

“Even if I give you the rice, the children will still go hungry. Mo Ruyue, is your heart made of stone? Although Da Bao is strong and was able to take down this big wild boar, he’s definitely half dead. You still want to eat it all for yourself?”

As a neighbor, Aunt Liu had seen with her own eyes how much these children had suffered at the hands of Mo Ruyue. She also knew that Da Bao was born with divine strength, so it was not impossible for this child to be able to kill a wild boar.

However, Da Bao’s little face suddenly blushed, and he said uncomfortably, “Grandma Liu, it’s not like that.”

He pointed at Mo Ruyue and said with a straight face, “She killed the wild boar. She saved me from the hooves of the wild boar.”

“You’re saying Mo Ruyue killed a wild boar to save you?” Aunt Liu’s face was full of doubt.

She quickly jogged over and pried open the wild boar’s mouth to take a look, muttering, “Was this wild boar a dying, diseased pig? How could Mo Ruyue…”

However, after checking, the wild boar was indeed a strong and healthy adult boar with an off-the-charts combat power.

Aunt Liu was stunned, “Mo Ruyue… Did you secretly eat some great strength pill? How did you suddenly become so powerful? And…”

And she didn’t seem that bad anymore?

Mo Ruyue looked at her impatiently. “Are you going to exchange? If you don’t want to, I’ll find someone else.”

As she said that, she turned around and went to knock on the door of another house.

Aunt Liu sighed and quickly said, “Stop knocking. Who in this village still wants to see you? Even if you knock on the door, no one will open it for you.”

She looked at Mo Ruyue’s indifferent face and couldn’t go on. She muttered softly, “I don’t want much wild boar meat, just a leg. I’ll give you more rice, not for you, but for the kids. Don’t let them go hungry.”

She thought that Mo Ruyue would ignore her, but when Aunt Liu came out with two bags of rice and some small vegetables, she saw Mo Ruyue raise the knife in her hand and cut off a pig’s trotter.

Then, she handed it to her expressionlessly. “That’s a different matter. I promised to exchange it with you.”

Aunt Liu looked at Mo Ruyue’s stern face. Her hands were covered in blood as she held the pig trotter. Her face was cold and domineering as if she looked down on the world. Aunt Liu hurriedly wiped her hands before taking the pig trotter. She even forgot to say ‘thank you.

Mo Ruyue took the grains with a cold face and nodded calmly at Aunt Liu. Together with Da Bao, she pulled the cart back to the small broken house and closed the door directly.

Aunt Liu looked at the pig trotter in her hand in a daze. “This, this, this… Is this still the Mo Ruyue who used to be so scared that she would almost jump up to the sky just by killing a chicken? How did she become so powerful all of a sudden?”

However, Mo Ruyue’s posture just now was like a strong man who could kill a big wild boar!

Hopefully, she will change for the better and raise the children well.
