Chapter 4

Mo Ruyue glanced at him. “Can you come down by yourself? If your legs go soft, I’ll catch you.”

“No need! Whose legs are soft!”

Da Bao immediately straightened his back and said with a cold face, “I’m very bold. Even if you didn’t come just now, I could still fight to the death with the wild boar. ”

As he spoke, he nimbly slid down from the tree.

He glanced at Mo Ruyue and walked over awkwardly. “Just now… thank you for saving me.”

Mo Ruyue nodded. She was still not very good at getting along with children and could not say any comforting words. However, she felt that it was not bad for Da Bao to be able to recover from the fear of death so quickly.

“Come and help cut down a few trees. They don’t have to be too thick. Make a simple trailer. We have to bring the wild boars back.”

Mo Ruyue said simply, “It can be eaten and sold for money.”

Wild boars were not easy to hunt, so they were more valuable in the market.

This family was now so poor, and they only had a few mouths to feed. She had to kill this wild boar in order to get her first pot of gold. Then, she would buy some seeds and start up the farmland space. If she developed it well, there might be even bigger surprises.

The more Mo Ruyue thought about it, the more motivated she became. However, Da Bao suddenly became angry. “I still want to find my sister. She’s only three and a half years old. She must have been frightened when you threw her deep into the mountains.”

After he finished speaking, Da Bao suddenly glared at the wound on Mo Ruyue’s head as if he wanted to smash her head and make it bleed again. However, when he saw the wound on Mo Ruyue’s arm that was caused by the wild boar…

He gritted his teeth again and turned around to leave in anger!

“It’s getting dark. Why is a little kid like you running around?” Mo Ruyue reached out and grabbed his little braids tightly. She pulled him in front of herself. “I know where she is. We’ll take her home together later.”

She vaguely remembered that this book had written that when the original owner threw Tang Tang[1], she didn’t dare to go deep into the mountains. She didn’t have the strength to climb that far, so she just left the child on a small mountain road far away from home.

If she had not wanted to save Da Bao just now, she would have found Tang Tang by now.

Da bao was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully, “You’re that kind?”

“If you continue to dawdle, she might be eaten by the wild boar when it gets dark.” Mo Ruyue glanced at him coldly and stopped talking. She started to build the trailer.

Da Bao gritted his teeth and looked at Mo Ruyue’s calm side profile. This bad woman was notorious for her misdeeds. He couldn’t believe her nonsense.

But…

He thought of how Mo Ruyue had risked her life to save him and how she had fought with the wild boar.

A hesitant light flashed in Da Bao’s eyes. Maybe the bad woman suddenly became sober and a little better after being beaten up by him?

At the thought of this, the look in Da Bao’s eyes suddenly became more determined. He turned around and began to break the tree trunk without a word, but he still threatened, “I’m not trying to help you. I’m trying to find Tang Tang as soon as possible. If you dare to have any ideas about my younger brothers or sister in the future, I… I’ll still beat you to death.”

Mo Ruyue laughed and replied in boredom, “We’ll see when your ‘hand skills’ and ‘mouth skills’ are as good as each other.”

Da Bao’s face suddenly turned red, and he glared at her fiercely. “When I grow up, I would also be able to kill a wild boar by myself.”

“Oh.” Mo Ruyue’s lips twitched, and she gave him a ‘you’ll see for yourself look.

Da Bao was so angry that he broke off a tree branch that was as thick as an arm!

Mo Ruyue used hemp rope to tie the wooden sticks into a simple trailer and then used the angle of the slope to push the wild boar down, and it rolled onto the trailer.

Da Bao subconsciously looked at her again. The bad woman’s brain had been smashed, but she had actually become smarter.

Mo Ruyue dragged the rope. After all, it was still strenuous for her to pull up an adult wild boar. Even if she walked down the mountain road, it was still very difficult. She had only taken a few steps, but she was already panting from exhaustion.

This body was too weak, and she hadn’t eaten her fill yet, so she really couldn’t use any strength now.

At this moment, Da Bao snorted arrogantly. He snatched a piece of rope from her left shoulder and hung it over his shoulder. “Why are you so weak!”

Then, he bent down and used all his strength to drag the trailer frame!

Although the veins on his forehead were bulging and his shoulder was bleeding, the amazing power of an eleven-year-old child was still not to be ignored.

Mo Ruyue hurriedly supported him, and there was a rare hint of approval in her tone. “Not bad, kid.”

The original book only roughly mentioned that Da Bao was a child with good martial arts, but she did not expect that this child’s strength and talent were off the charts to this extent.

It was like Popeye had possessed him. Unfortunately, there was no spinach.

Da Bao raised his eyebrows and looked at her smugly. It was as if he had finally regained some face. He worked harder to control the tow truck and even helped Mo Ruyue share a lot of the burden.

When they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Da Bao still had not seen his little sister. He was already a little anxious and was about to find Mo Ruyue to settle the score when he saw that she had already loosened the rope and was walking towards a sunken patch of grass.

The lush grass had been crushed. The three-year-old girl was curled up with her eyes closed. Tears hung on her eyelashes, and her face was stained with grass and mud. She looked like a tiny kitten. Only her pink lips were slightly pouted, and the tip of her nose was moving up and down with her breathing, revealing a cute naivety.

For a moment, Mo Ruyue felt pity for the child. When she bent down to pick up the child, she subconsciously softened her movements and was so careful that she didn’t even notice it herself.

Da Bao was shocked, “What’s wrong with my little sister?” Did she get bit by a snake and faint?”

“She’s tired from crying, so she’s sleeping.” Mo Ruyue said indifferently.

She was about to carry the child back when Da Bao suddenly opened his arms to stop her. “I’ll carry her back myself. I’m strong.”

His face was full of vigilance and worry, as if he was afraid that Mo Ruyue would not bring his sister back.

Mo Ruyue raised her eyebrows. “You’re so small. How are you going to carry her?”

“Don’t look down on me. Don’t you also need the help of this small body?” Da Bao snorted arrogantly.

Then, he looked around and quickly ran to the side of the slope to cut off a few sections of vines. He quickly made a simple backpack with the vines and carefully put Tang Tang in. He even took off his tattered coat and covered Tang Tang with it.

Mo Ruyue was surprised. I didn’t expect this little guy to have such a gentle and delicate side, even though he looks so fierce.

“You carry her then. I’ll tow the cart.”

Mo Ruyue was planning to tow the cart down the mountain, but Da Bao pulled the rope again without a word and said disdainfully, “This weight is nothing.”

Mo Ruyue shrugged her shoulders and didn’t force herself. Her body was indeed not strong enough to bear the weight of the entire cart, but…

She looked at the bloodstains on Da Bao’s body. Some were from the wild boar, some were caused by thorns, some were made by the rope, and some old wounds that had not been treated well had festered.

Many of those old injuries were caused by the original owner.

Notes:

[1]Tang Tang is the name of the little girl, the youngest sibling earlier referred to as Wu Bao, which is apparently her pet name.
