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.
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.
