Chapter 275

275 Tiger’s Skin

Also, his father had a prickly beard on his face. This man’s face was clean, and there was a small black mole under the left corner of his eye.

The more he looked, the more he found some small differences. But one thing was certain, he was not his father, definitely not!

“Mother, I’ve mistaken him for someone else. I’m sorry.”

Da Bao’s voice became low. After apologizing to Mo Ruyue, he bowed to the man in black, put down the bowl of medicine in his hand, turned around, and ran out.

!!

Mo Ruyue looked at Da Bao’s back, and a touch of heartache flashed across her eyes.

“Lady Qin, my medicine.”

The black clothed man’s words made Mo Ruyue come back to her senses. His face was still indifferent, as if the scene just now couldn’t move him at all.

If it was the Mo Ruyue from her previous life, perhaps she would have the same reaction. However, after spending so much time with the five babies in this life, she could no longer be indifferent to their affairs.

Mo Ruyue collected her thoughts and began to change the black-shirted man’s medicine. She would send him away as soon as he was cured. This was not a place that people like him should stay for long.

After changing the dressing, Mo Ruyue pointed to the basket on the side of the bed and said, “This is what the person who sent you here left behind. He said that you hunted the tiger. In order to save you, he could only bring the tiger’s skin and bones. Other than the two ribs used for your medicine, everything else is here.”

“When your injuries are better and you can move, leave immediately and never come back.”

In fact, Mo Ruyue wanted to kick him out right now. The last time she saved him, wasn’t there a pretty good cave? Since he was out of danger now, she would arrange for him to recuperate there. In short, the further away from the babies, the better.

“I don’t need those. I’ll leave two tiger bones for you and give the rest to him or you. You can do whatever you want with them.” The man in black shook his head.

He had hunted the tiger only to obtain the bone to make medicine, not for the few taels of silver.

“I’ll keep the tiger skin, and the tiger bones will be given to that person. His mother is weak and needs some money to buy some good supplements. ”

Mo Ruyue didn’t stand on ceremony with him. In any case, to this kind of person who lived on the edge of a knife and licked blood, money was easier than anything else. Even if a whole tiger could be sold for hundreds or thousands of taels of silver, it was still a small amount of money to him, let alone money from the tiger skin and bones.

The man in black was silent. No matter how Mo Ruyue dealt with these things, he had no opinion.

Mo Ruyue took the empty bowl and the basket and left. She had to give these tiger bones to Nie Yuansheng before he left.

Originally, Nie Yuansheng had planned to rush home before dawn, but when he saw that there was only an old couple in the Liu family, he couldn’t bear to let them do the work slowly.

He didn’t have any money on him, so he just wanted to help the Liu family do some work to pay for the accommodation fee.

He got up early in the morning and started to work. He filled the water tank, split the firewood, and cleaned the yard. He even fixed the cracks on the walls of the house. Only then did he bid farewell to the Liu couple.

When Mo Ruyue carried the basket and went out, Nie Yuansheng happened to be at the gate, ready to lead the ox-cart out.

“Big Brother Nie, you’re preparing to leave, right? Just in time, I’ll give this to you.”

Mo Ruyue walked over and directly handed a basket of tiger bones to Nie Yuansheng.

“This, Lady Qin, what are you doing? Wasn’t this the benefactor’s? I can’t take it!”

Nie Yuansheng quickly waved his hand and refused. He didn’t dare to covet things that didn’t belong to him.

He said that he only wanted to use the tiger’s bones to make medicine. He didn’t want anything else. “I took the tiger’s skin. If you don’t want the tiger’s bones, you can just throw them away.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t have any intention of keeping the tiger bones. If she wanted them, she could go into the mountains and hunt them herself. However, these tiger bones were very useful to Nie Yuansheng. Whether it was to make medicine for his mother or to sell them to buy tonics for her to recuperate, they were all great benefits.

“How can I throw this away? I can’t!

Nie Yuansheng was shocked. He knew that the tiger bone was an extremely valuable medicinal herb. This basket could be sold for a few hundred taels of silver. How could he just throw it away?

Seeing that Mo Ruyue really didn’t have any intention of keeping it for herself, Nie Yuansheng glanced at the room where the black-clothed man was resting.

“Don’t look at him, it’s the same if you ask him. I see that you’re in a hurry to go home, so let’s leave it at that.”

Since Mo Ruyue had already said so, Nie Yuansheng could only give up. However, he still felt uneasy about obtaining such an unexpected fortune for no reason.

“If you really feel apologetic, go back and be filial to your mother. It won’t be in vain for you to have this fate with her.”

In the end, Nie Yuansheng listened to Mo Ruyue’s advice and left with a basket of tiger bones.

The man in black heard the conversation between the two people outside the room and shook his head almost imperceptibly.

No, why did he feel a strange sense of familiarity with Lady Qin?

She wasn’t Mei ‘Er. Although her personality was somewhat similar to Mei ‘Er’s at times, his Mei ‘Er wouldn’t look at anyone else other than him, let alone take care of a child and save people.

She was a natural killer, and he was the only one she had saved with her hands.

They were obviously two completely different people. He must have had an illusion due to his high fever from his injury, that’s why he felt that Lady Qin was so familiar.

He closed his eyes and tried his best to regulate the circulation of his inner breath to help himself recover faster.

As long as he could move, he should leave.

“Second Brother, don’t you think that Eldest Brother seems to be very unhappy?”

San Bao moved closer to Er Bao and whispered in his ear. He peeked at Da Bao as he spoke, as if he was afraid that Da Bao would hear him.

“Eldest Brother has always had that face. How many times have you seen him smile?”

Er Bao fondled the tiger skin in his hand lovingly. His mother had just brought it over and said that she was going to make a pair of tiger skin knee pads and gloves for each of them.

The tiger wasn’t small, but it wasn’t enough to be made into leather jackets for the five of them.

His mother had said that after the knee pads and gloves were done, she would see how much skin was left. Perhaps she could make a few waist-warming ones.

This was tiger skin! It was even warmer than deerskin, and it was even more impressive!

His mind was focused on this piece of tiger skin, so he didn’t pay much attention to San Bao’s words.

“It’s true, Second Brother. Didn’t Eldest Brother go to the opposite house to deliver medicine to the uncle? I vaguely heard him call out “father”, but when I came out of the room to take a look, he had already entered the room.”

“When Eldest Brother came out, he seemed to have lost his soul. I asked him what happened but he didn’t say anything. When I asked again, he glared at me. It’s quite scary.”

San Bao quickly explained, then poked Er Bao with his finger, “Second Brother, why don’t you go and ask? You’re about the same age as Eldest Brother, and you’re smart. You’re better at talking than me, so what if you can get something out of him?”

Er Bao raised his head and glanced at San Bao with a faint smile, “Third brother, why do I feel that ever since you entered the private school, you’ve become more scheming? You’re afraid of Big Brother, but I’m not? If you want to ask, you can ask yourself. I’m not going.”

Even though San Bao’s thoughts had been seen through by his second brother, he could only chuckle and scratch the back of his head.

He was also worried about his big brother. Although his big brother never had a smile on his face before, this time was different.
