I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

272 The Man in Black

When he came back at night, he really scared his mother. Not only because he came back too late, but also because he had brought back an unconscious man covered in blood.

It was not easy for him to make his mother believe that the blood on his body belonged to the man in black. It could be seen how badly injured his benefactor was for him to lose so much blood.

“Go. Our benefactor saved you. We can’t just watch him die, but you must be careful!”

Although the old woman was very worried and reluctant, she would not stop her son in this situation.

Nie Yuansheng put on his cart and covered it with a thick layer of bedding to prevent the man from catching a cold while he was unconscious.

As for his own mother, he could only be thick-skinned and ask the neighbors for help to take care of her. Of course, he did not ask for nothing. Nie Yuansheng gritted his teeth and grabbed two of his old hens as thanks.

He also took the tiger skin and bones that he had brought back with great difficulty. Because before his benefactor fainted, he had mentioned the tiger bones and medicine. He must have planned to use the tiger bones as medicine, so he took the things with him. Maybe Lady Qin could use them when the time came.

As for the tiger skin, it was worth a lot of money. Since the tiger was beaten by his benefactor, everything should belong to him. It should be more than enough to pay for his medical expenses with the tiger skin.

Nie Yuansheng had never thought of leaving two tiger bones for himself to sell. After all, he had also thrown an entire basket of herbs and mountain products to carry other people’s things.

However, his benefactor’s life was the most important thing right now. After all, without his benefactor, he, Nie Yuansheng, would have long been fed to the tiger.

After everything was prepared, Nie Yuansheng looked at his mother, who was lying on the bed, with reluctance. He once again urged the neighbors who came to help, then lit the torch and drove the ox-cart, hurriedly heading towards Qin Village.

In recent days, Mo Ruyue had already stored a large amount of winter supplies with the help of the wolves. As the weather got colder, she no longer went into the mountains frequently. She only went to the treasure valley occasionally to see if the wolves had returned.

Tomorrow was the day to go to Huichun Hall for a consultation. Mo Ruyue checked her medicine box again as usual and replenished all the medicinal herbs and potions she had used.

The five babies had already taken a bath and were ready to sleep. The sound of them playing came from inside the house. Although the cold wind was whistling and it was very cold that night, the small courtyard was exceptionally warm.

A series of urgent knocks on the door broke the silence of the night, and the dogs in the village began to bark.

Mo Ruyue had long heard the sound of wheels coming this way, so before the car stopped at the door, she started to walk toward the courtyard gate.

She opened the door a little when someone knocked on it.

After seeing the face outside the door, Mo Ruyue put away her defensive posture and opened the door even wider.

“Lady Qin, I’m really sorry to have disturbed you so late at night. I really want to ask you to save my benefactor!”

Nie Yuansheng stood outside the door and said anxiously.

He didn’t dare to be distracted while driving the carriage, so he didn’t pay attention to the situation of the man in black at all times. The wind outside was strong, so he couldn’t hear his breathing at all. It wasn’t until the car stopped that he casually checked, only to find that his benefactor seemed to be no longer breathing.

Nie Yuansheng was extremely shocked. He did not expect that after he had worked so hard to bring his benefactor here, he would have already lost his life.

Mo Ruyue followed his gaze and looked at the ox cart. The blanket was bulging as if it was wrapping someone.

“What’s wrong with your benefactor? Speak slowly.”

Mo Ruyue was originally the most afraid of trouble, but after being in Huichun Hall for a long time, she had slowly gotten used to the situation where trouble could appear at any time.

Since Nie Yuansheng came to ask for help on such a cold night, his benefactor must have suffered a serious injury.

Even from a distance, she could smell the strong smell of blood. Judging from the amount of blood lost, if the blood transfusion was not done as soon as possible, she was afraid that he would not be able to be saved.

She asked as she walked toward the ox-cart.

Nie Yuansheng followed behind and recounted what had happened in the afternoon. While he was recounting, Mo Ruyue also saw the face of the person lying on the ox cart.

“Why is it him?”

Mo Ruyue said in surprise.

This man in black was the person she had saved before. At that time, he was poisoned and came to her door to seek treatment, but she had refused to treat him.

She didn’t expect to see him again a few months later, and this time he was sent to her for medical treatment in a coma.

They had met twice, but she had wanted to save his life. What kind of strange fate was this?

“Lady Qin, you know my benefactor?”

Nie Yuansheng, who was standing next to Mo Ruyue, also heard Mo Ruyue’s mumbling. He couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

“Help me carry him into the courtyard first. The wind is strong here, it’s not a place to save people.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t answer the question and changed the topic.

“Lady Qin, my benefactor is already dead.”

Nie Yuansheng thought that Mo Ruyue had not noticed, so he reminded her.

“Help me carry him in first. If you dawdle any longer, he’ll really die.

Mo Ruyue said impatiently.

She didn’t know why she suddenly felt a sense of panic and fear, just like the feeling she had felt before the last time she went on a mission with Gu Ying.

She growled so softly that Nie Yuansheng also came back to his senses and repeatedly agreed. He carried the black-clothed man into the courtyard and sent him to the last empty room according to Mo Ruyue’s instructions.

When the babies in the house heard the commotion outside, they all leaned against the window and looked out. Although they didn’t know who the person being carried in was, they felt an inexplicable tension in the atmosphere.

“Big Brother, who is that person?”

The fourth baby, Si Bao, was now sleeping in the same room as his eldest brother, Da Bao. When he saw this scene, he could not help but lean closer to him and ask in a trembling voice.

“I don’t know. He seems to be here to ask for Mother’s help. I think I’ve seen that uncle somewhere before.”

Although Da Bao did not see the man’s face clearly, he had a strange sense of familiarity with him.

The man in black was placed on the bed. Although the house was empty, someone cleaned it every day, so there was no moldy or damp smell in it. Instead, it was very dry, which was suitable for him to recuperate.

“Lady Qin, before my benefactor fell unconscious, he told me about the tiger bone and medicine. I thought that he might want to use the tiger bone to make medicine, so I brought the tiger bone.”

Nie Yuansheng said from the side, but he realized that Mo Ruyue didn’t seem to hear what he said at all. Her attention was all on his benefactor and she was carefully checking his condition.

He was afraid that his interruption would disturb Lady Qin’s inspection, so he quietly walked out of the door to bring in the basket on the ox cart and led the ox cart into the courtyard.

Mo Ruyue opened the black-clothed man’s lapels and found that there were many new scars and scars on his body. It was obvious that after being treated by her, he was still living a life of walking on the line between life and death.
