Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

The weather is getting colder in winter.

Most of the official roads are things for disaster relief for the people in the north, and ordinary people can only take other paths.

But Xia Bai'an was afraid that something might happen on the road, so he deliberately chose a longer but safer road.

Because of this, she couldn't tell where the road was going, so she could only confirm with the groom and the map.

On the first night, as the groom said, they came across a village on the way. A row of thatched huts was built near the roadside in the village, and they could live there for a fee, as well as dry food and tea.

Several people settled down.

Xia Bai'an took Mo Xue to live alone on one side of the house, while Tang Song and Mo Yu lived on the other side.

At night, the two children fell asleep first.

Xia Bai'an couldn't sleep at night, always felt uneasy on the journey, and was always thinking about Qian'er's situation, so he tossed and turned more and more, so he simply got up and went to the brazier to keep warm.

"Still sleeping?" Tang Song's voice came.

Xia Bai'an followed the prestige, and saw Tang Song put Mo Yu in the corner, and went to sit beside him.

"What? Are you worried that when you go back to Yunmai Village and meet the clan elders, you won't be able to explain what happened back then?"

"Ah."

Tang Song nodded.

He went back with Xia Bai'an this time because he wanted to try to find the evidence from that year.

Since no clues were found in the capital, if we go back and ask the elders of the Xia family, we might be able to find some clues.

The Martian made a piercing sound.

Xia Bai'an glanced at him: "It's good to have clues, if there are no clues, there are other ways to take revenge on them."

Tang Song stared at her: "Aren't you defending your parents at all?"

"You heard me talking to Xia Lei last time. They don't treat me like a human being, so why should I raise animals like human beings?" Xia Baian sneered coldly.

"You are really cruel." Tang Song said in a low voice.

"..."

Xia Bai'an didn't bother to answer his words.

She warmed her palms, and was thinking about whether to go back to sleep, but Tang Song said again.

"Since you don't want to take care of the Xia family's affairs, why do you want to help me? Do you want to take revenge on Xia Yuan through me finding out the truth, or..."

"Don't think too much."

Xia Bai'an stopped getting up, slapped him on the forehead angrily, and said helplessly, "You just have to remember, as long as you recognize me as your cousin, you won't do anything like burning, killing, looting, or losing your conscience in this life. I will help you with the matter. Isn’t it such a simple thing to be connected by blood.”

Tang Song covered his forehead and didn't regain his senses for a long time.

The night passed.

Tang Song was so much better behaved, he stopped bickering with Xia Bai'an, instead he followed her closely in his servant's clothes, and after breakfast, he called his cousin lightly, and was held down by Xia Bai'an for a long time Rubbing, his face turned red with anger.

Er Gou saw it, and couldn't help but said: "I always feel that she is more childish than before, look at how her younger brother has been teased... That's no face, it's clearly charcoal fire!"

"What charcoal fire, shut up and do things if you can't speak!"

Tie Zhu kicked him away.

Ergou got up from the ground with ease and continued to move things cursingly.

The group set off again.

On the way, they stopped by a tea stall.

Xia Bai'an suddenly remembered that when he came to the capital before, there seemed to be a tea stall owner who gave him a jade finger, and he didn't know about this tea stall...

After thinking about it, she took out the jade finger from the space and put it on her hand.

The owner of the tea stand saw her jade finger, his eyes did not change.

Xia Bai'an was puzzled, when the boss gave him the jade finger, he said that it would be useful in the future, but what was it for?

"It's so ugly." Mo Xue pouted, staring at the jade wrench on her thumb.

"...This thing has meaning, not for looking good." Xia Bai'an tried to explain.

"But, it's just ugly." Mo Xue also looked disgusted.

"..."

This child really has requirements for aesthetics!

Xia Bai'an only felt tired.

When I was in the village at the beginning, I couldn't tell the preferences of these children.

After arriving in the capital, the tricky sides of several children also appeared at the same time, such as Mo Xue's obsession with beauty, and Mo Yu and Mo Qian's persistence in martial arts. In his arms, he dropped the golden peas.

Tsk, it's hard to bring a child.

Xia Bai'an was helpless, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the hand extended by the tea boss.

"Boss, why do your bones look like this?" Xia Bai'an stared at the man's hand, only to see that the bones in that hand were obviously dislocated, but the boss still used it freely.

Moreover, the misplaced part does not seem to be purely due to the impact, but seems to be squeezed by something all the year round.

It doesn't look like a businessman's hand, but a laborer's hand.

The boss laughed twice: "I left it when I was working. At that time, there was no money and no treatment. It has been like this... Did you scare the guest officer? Then I will call my son?"

"It's okay, I'll ask."

Xia Bai'an restrained his gaze, feeling that he was a little impolite, and doubted everything.

After following Mo Che for a long time, he became more suspicious.

The tea boss left with the empty teapot, but in a place Xia Bai'an couldn't see, he curled the corners of his lips, twisted his little finger into a weird shape, and a few invisible filaments floated out.

Xia Bai'an and the others set off again after eating and drinking.

But before he had gone far, the axle of the carriage suddenly made a muffled sound. Xia Bai'an hugged the children in his arms tightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

The groom jumped out of the carriage and glanced at the axle: "This... madam, I don't know what happened, the axle that was just replaced is broken, and I'm afraid I have to repair it before I can leave."

Broken axle?

Xia Bai'an clearly remembered that his carriage had been cracked by freezing once before, and later A Yuan specially asked someone to repair it.

It's so good, how can it be bad.

She couldn't figure it out, but she was still ready to jump down and fix it.

Tang Song also jumped down and stroked his sleeves: "Can I help?"

"You hand over Yu'er and Xue'er to Wu Yue, and go to the back line. You are here with me, and you changed the axles and wheels." Xia Bai'an also rolled up his sleeves, ready to come to help.

Tang Song understood, he handed Mo Xue and Mo Yu to Wu Yue, and then put the contents of the carriage on the cart so that they could replace the axles and wheels.

Xia Bai'an concentrated on bending over to remove the wheel, his ear tips moved slightly.

Birds chirping in the woods.

stopped.

She hesitated for a moment, and the iron pillar behind had jumped off the cart: "There are people in the forest! Protect them!"

It seems that it is not her illusion.

Xia Bai'an quickly put down the things in his hand, grabbed Tang Song and ran to the side of his companion behind: "Look at each other, don't miss anything!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Bai'an only saw a long black shadow coming towards him from the corner of his vision.

Ergou's screams also suddenly sounded.

"To hell with it in broad daylight!"
