188 Waiting for an Opportunity to Attack

The villagers who stayed behind looked at each other. They wanted to talk about it, but when they thought about the reason why Qin Shi was sent to prison, they quickly shut their mouths for fear that they would say something wrong and spread it to Mo Ruyue’s ears.

After Qin Xu left, he even took his wife and children to take a detour around Mo Ruyue’s courtyard before going home.

Now, everyone in the village knew that the open space outside the Qin family’s eldest branch was full of traps. It was best not to approach it, especially when the sky was getting dark. Otherwise, if one was injured, there would be no place to reason with.

Qin Xu was also afraid that he would step on a trap, so he stayed far away. He saw a figure moving in the courtyard and guessed that the person inside had seen his appearance clearly. Then, he went home with his wife and children.

!!

About an hour later, Mo Ruyue also returned.

The reason why she came back so late was that the patients who had not been treated in the morning had piled up in the afternoon. To thank everyone for their understanding in the morning, she insisted on seeing the last patient before going home.

At this time, although there were no longer any imperial carriages or ox-carts willing to come this way, Mo Ruyue’s pace was not slow. It was not a problem for her to travel dozens of miles in one breath.

She first took an ox-cart halfway there, then used the tall trees on the hillside to run with the sleeve dart. This reminded her of a movie called Tarzan the man-ape, where the male protagonist used the thick vines in the rainforest to move quickly.

When she arrived home, Si Bao had already prepared dinner with the help of Da Bao and Er Bao. Although he was only a head taller than the stove now, he had a decent cooking style. With a spatula moving up and down, a dish that looked, smelled, and was well-cooked was served in a short while.

During this time, Mo Ruyue had silently written down a recipe for home-cooked dishes. After demonstrating each dish once, she began to let Si Bao explore and exercise on their own. Now, it seemed that the effect was still good.

Although she had been treating patients for the whole day, Mo Ruyue did not feel tired at all. There was hot food to eat when she got home, and all the housework had been done. She was just waiting to eat and drink to her heart’s content and go to bed. The feeling was too good.

Mo Ruyue did not change into her home clothes before eating. She was still thinking about the pack of giant wolves. Although she had already treated them and left them food before she left today, she still did not know if there would be any changes after a day.

When he saw that she had not changed her clothes, Da Bao asked in surprise, “Mother, are you still going out later?”

“Yes, I still have some things to do. I might be back a little later.”

Mo Ruyue nodded.

Now that she had replaced most of the traps outside the courtyard, as long as the traps were activated, ordinary people would not be able to get close to the courtyard at all. There was no need to worry about the safety of the babies.

Their self-care and self-control were very strong, so Mo Ruyue didn’t have to worry about this.

“Alright, I’ll leave the door open for you.”

Da Bao didn’t seem to have any objections to Mo Ruyue going out so late at night. He didn’t even ask her where she was going. It was completely different from when Mo Ruyue had just arrived and he was closely watching her.

“No need, just latch the door properly. This door can’t stop me anyway.”

When Mo Ruyue said this, Da Bao fell silent. He only nodded slightly and did not say anything more.

“Mother, when we came back today, we dropped Second Uncle’s family along the way, but they still talked a lot when they got in the carriage. That Qin Qingfei even wanted to get candy twice.

San Bao was originally lowering his head to eat the food in his mouth. He did not know why but she suddenly raised her head and complained to Mo Ruyue.

“What? They still dare to be dishonest?”

Mo Ruyue’s eyes narrowed slightly. Although she had long expected that the second branch would be a little restless, she didn’t expect that they would still dare to bully her five babies.

“Mother, I won’t let them bully Tang Tang.”

Da Bao added.

Mo Ruyue believed this. She immediately waved her hand and said, “Alright, it’s good that you can take care of your younger siblings. I’ll naturally take care of them if they stir up trouble. You guys just have to take care of yourselves.”

“Mother, I can protect myself now. If they dare to bully me, I’ll let them have a taste of the itching powder!”

Tang Tang patted the little purse on her waist. Her little face was full of determination and confidence.

“Yes, we won’t provoke others, but they’re already bullying us, so we can’t get used to it. Tang Tang, well done!”

Mo Ruyue praised generously. Then, she wiped her mouth and stood up. “You guys continue eating, I’ll be leaving now.”

The night couldn’t stop Mo Ruyue’s movements. She was already familiar with the route. At this time, she was running forward and soon arrived near the treasure valley.

Along the way, she had startled many nocturnal beasts. The smaller ones were frightened away by the smell of the giant wolves on her body, while the bigger ones were lurking in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to make a move.

Mo Ruyue didn’t care about those “lurkers.” As she ran, she suddenly used the sleeve arrow to fly up a big tree.

She suddenly realized that if she brought these predators to the valley of treasures, they might pose a threat to the giant wolves.

Normally, with the combat power of the giant wolf pack, even if they encountered a lone tiger or black bear, they would not be at a disadvantage. They could even suppress them and win. But now, they could not.

The number of wolves had been reduced by a lot, and the rest were all injured. Even the wolf king, who was the most powerful, had to rely on the time accelerator in the interspace to heal. However, the wounds had healed, but the damage to the body could not be recovered in a short time.

That was why she had stopped now. She wanted to get rid of the ‘tail’ that was following her.

Mo Ruyue quietly squatted on a branch, her hand holding a silver needle coated with strong anesthetic. Her eyes were fixed on a bush not far from the tree. There was a pair of eyes glowing with a faint green light.

It was a large black panther, its pitch-black fur blending in perfectly with the night. If not for its eyes and the smell of a wild beast coming from its body, it would have been impossible to detect its presence.

As the top hunter in the forest, the black panther’s size was close to that of an adult tiger.

Perhaps it was because the mountain range was deep enough and rich in resources, so the creatures that lived in it, whether herbivorous or carnivorous, were all incredibly large.

The giant tiger she had hunted before was even larger than the largest manchurian tiger in her previous life.

Mo Ruyue knew very well that the hunter opposite her had also noticed her and was now looking for a suitable opportunity to attack.

A black panther could climb trees. Although the tree she was on was tall, it was not difficult for the black panther to jump to the height of the branch she was squatting on.

Now, both sides were holding their breath, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The surroundings seemed to have quietened down all of a sudden. No matter if it was Mo Ruyue or the black panther, they all exuded their own auras, making the insects and birds at night shut their mouths, not daring to make a single sound.

This kind of silence was like the calm before the storm, and it also made Mo Ruyue very clearly aware that the black panther’s attack was coming.
