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

58 Saving Someone

The five babies had set up their respective traps, and the next thing to do was to wait and see if any prey would walk into the trap.

Mo Ruyue brought the babies and prepared to take a nap in another place. After all, there were so many human auras around, and no prey would approach easily.

Before she knew it, it was already noon. With the shade of the trees in the mountain, she did not feel hot. Instead, it was very cool.

After Da Bao scattered the insect repellent, he spread out the coarse square cloth he had brought on a relatively flat and open space. Mo Ruyue took out another basket from her bamboo basket, which contained their food and water.

There was soft bread and scone that Mo Ruyue had baked early in the morning, as well as sliced braised meat and sausages that she had made herself. Mo Ruyue even took the time to make a bunch of fried mushroom skewers and sprinkled some cumin on them. It was delicious.

Although the meal was simple, it was extremely delicious. Especially in such+ clear air, filled with birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers in the mountain forest, it had a unique flavor.

The few babies were all eating happily, and there was no longer any trace of sadness on their faces. Mo Ruyue knew that she didn’t have to worry about anything. The babies were still young, and they grew and recovered very quickly. There were some prices that had to be paid in the process of growth, but with her around, she would try her best not to let them go astray.

After lunch, the few of them took a short break and were ready to go check out the traps they had set. Unexpectedly, Da Bao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and gestured to the people behind him, “Be careful.”

The few babies immediately became alert. Er Bao and San Bao quickly protected Tang Tang and Si Bao as they retreated. Mo Ruyue quietly came to Da Bao’s side.

“Mother, there’s someone.”

Da Bao lowered his voice and whispered in Mo Ruyue’s ear.

“I saw it.”

Mo Ruyue’s vision was extremely good. Her hearing even heard the sound of heavy breathing and the sound of branches and leaves being pulled apart. Following the sound, she could see that a man was carrying a white-haired old woman deep into the mountains.

“Mother, why did that uncle bring Grandma into the mountains?”

Er Bao was not far from Mo Ruyue. When he saw that it was not a ferocious beast or a poisonous snake, he carried Tang Tang and walked to Mo Ruyue’s side.

Fortunately, he still remembered to keep his posture and his voice low. After all, the situation was still unknown, and he could not easily lower his guard.

“Where does he want to escort that Granny to?”

San Bao also came over. She saw that the two of them were empty-handed and did not carry any food or tools. They were obviously not going into the mountains to hunt or pick medicinal herbs. But why did he bring an old woman into the mountains?

Da Bao seemed to have guessed something. His face turned ashen, but he did not say anything. On the other hand, Mo Ruyue saw from afar that the old woman’s face and condition were not good. She knew that the old woman was probably seriously ill, which was why she had been brought here and abandoned in the deep mountains.

In her previous life, she had heard that there was a custom of ‘abandoning the old’ in an island country surrounded by the sea. She did not expect to see the live version today.

However, Mo Ruyue did not intend to meddle in other people’s affairs. There were so many cruel and unjust things in the world that she could not meddle in even if she wanted to. Besides, all she wanted to do now was to lead the five children on the right path and prevent them from turning into devils. That way, she could finally retire successfully.

“Mother, are we going to help that Granny?”

Even Tang Tang could tell that something was wrong. She looked up at Mo Ruyue and asked in a low voice.

Mo Ruyue did not answer.

Yesterday, she had let the babies face the betrayal of their blood kin, and today, she had just pulled them out of that depressed mood. She really didn’t want them to be exposed to a more cruel side.

“Mother, let’s… Let’s help that granny, okay?”

Si Bao could not help but plead for mercy. The grandma was lying on the uncle’s back just now. Her head was lowered, and she seemed to be sick. It was very uncomfortable to be sick. If she was thrown into the mountains, wouldn’t she be afraid and want to go home?

He felt even worse when he thought about her situation. Although the old lady had nothing to do with him, he still wanted someone to help her.

Mo Ruyue was about to refuse when she suddenly found that the man who was carrying the old woman on his back had returned, but this time, the old woman on his back had disappeared.

This place was still considered the periphery of the mountain. However, for a seriously ill old woman, even if it was not deep in the mountain, she did not have the strength or opportunity to walk out of this forest.

The babies also saw this scene. They thought for a moment and knew that the old woman had been abandoned. Each of their eyes showed that they couldn’t bear to see her like this. They all looked at Mo Ruyue pleadingly. Even the very reasonable Da Bao couldn’t help but look at her.

Mo Ruyue sighed. Ever since she came to this book world, her babies had never so unanimously begged her to do something, and this rare first time was actually used on a stranger.

Forget it, I’ll just treat it as a reward for my babies’ outstanding performance today.

“Alright, let’s go over and take a look. If we can save her, we’ll do so. If not, you’re not allowed to think about this matter anymore.”

Mo Ruyue said the ugly words first. She didn’t want to leave any psychological shadows on the babies if she made a mistake. Although she was very confident in her medical skills, the situation was unclear now. She didn’t know if this person was dying or dead, so she had to leave some leeway for herself.

“Hmm! We all know!”

When the five babies heard that she had relented, they immediately perked up and nodded their heads like chicks pecking at rice.

Mo Ruyue temporarily suspended her plan to check on the prey and took the babies in the direction of the old woman who had been abandoned.

There was no need to search deliberately. There were traces left behind by the man when he walked past. The broken branches and leaves and the footprints left on the ground all guided them in the right direction.

Seeing that the old woman’s silhouette could be seen not far away, Mo Ruyue stopped again. This time, she left Da Bao to take care of the babies and did not let them come forward together.

“That old woman must be seriously ill. Wait for me here. Don’t come too close to me when I come back later.”

She walked straight to the old woman’s side after giving instructions to the children.

Da Bao retreated to his younger brothers and sisters’ side and observed the surrounding situation vigilantly to prevent any wild beasts or poisonous snakes from approaching. At the same time, he was also paying attention to the situation on Mo Ruyue’s side. He didn’t know if the old woman, who was already motionless, was still alive.

After Mo Ruyue was far away from the babies, she took out a set of protective equipment from her space. There were masks, gloves, a small bag with silver needles, and a small bottle of alcohol disinfectant.

After protecting herself, she squatted in front of the old woman and looked at her face. Her lips were purple and her face was pale.

She reached out and touched the tip of the old woman’s nose, but she could hardly detect any breath flow. Then she checked her carotid artery and wrist pulse, and could only detect a little fluctuation.

It seemed that the old woman was already at the stage of death. If she had come a moment later, she would have been dead.

In the end, this old woman’s life should be saved. Since that was the case, she would try her best to pull her back from the gates of hell.
