Chapter 3: Killing a Wild Boar With Her Bare Hands

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Mo Ruyue opened her eyes and returned to the small, broken-down house. She heard San bao and Si Bao crying softly. “Er Bao, I’m so hungry that my stomach keeps growling…”

Er Bao also touched his empty stomach. He looked in fear in Mo Ruyue’s direction and said softly, “Shush, don’t wake the bad woman up. She’s hungry too… What if she wants to sell us for food again?”

Before he could finish, he saw Mo Ruyue slowly open her eyes and look at him expressionlessly. He was so scared that he fell to the ground.

When San Bao and Si Bao saw Er Bao like this, they were even more frightened. They looked at Mo Ruyue in fear and cried, “Mother, don’t sell us. We are not hungry. We won’t eat anymore.”

The children’s cries made Mo Ruyue extremely frustrated.

“If you cry again, I’ll throw you to the servant girl!” Mo Ruyue said coldly. The three little fellows were so frightened that they covered their mouths and widened their eyes in horror.

She had just experienced the feeling of hunger and knew it wasn’t good. Since Mo Ruyue had decided to stay and live a good life, she couldn’t just watch these little rascals starve to death.

She stood up and found that her body had recovered, so she went to get some food first.

Mo Ruyue walked around the small mud house and found that these houses were indeed very dilapidated, especially the tiny kitchen. When she raised her head, a few light rays could be seen on the roof.

She suspected that when it rained, the roof would probably leak. The kitchen was empty, and there were only a few steamed buns on the chopping board that smelled like stinky food.

Only a few leaves were in the basket, and most of them had turned yellow.

This little thing definitely couldn’t be eaten!

Mo Ruyue looked at the empty room and the three kids behind the door who were crying for food. In the end, she decided to go hunting. This was the fastest way to solve their problem.

These skinny kids really needed some meat to nourish their bodies.

Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to deal with them if they became ill.

Mo Ruyue made up her mind. She pulled a roll of rope from the wall and strode to Er Bao’s side. The three children were so frightened that they screamed. They thought that she was going to tie them up.

“Don’t shout!” Mo Ruyue shouted angrily. She directly grabbed Er Bao’s collar and blocked them at the door. She said coldly, “Did the other two go into the mountains?”

Er Bao was so frightened that he kept trembling. “A-a-are you going to kidnap Da Bao? I won’t allow you to go!”

As he said this, the brave little guy actually suppressed his fear and hugged Mo Ruyue’s leg. He pulled her and said, “I won’t allow you to hurt my big brother.”

When San Bao and Si Bao saw this, they also cried and hugged Mo Ruyue’s legs. They followed suit and shouted, “Don’t harm big brother!”

However, Mo Ruyue’s beautiful eyes turned cold and scared San Bao and Si Bao so much that they trembled and dropped to the ground. They did not dare to hug her anymore!

Only Er Bao was still struggling, but he did not dare to look at Mo Ruyue’s sharp eyes.

Mo Ruyue couldn’t really beat up a little brat, so she could only say with a black face, “I’ll go and bring them back. You take care of your little brothers and wait for me to come back.”

“You won’t hit Da Bao and throw away Wu Bao?” Er Bao was in disbelief.

“No, I won’t.”

Mo Ruyue furrowed her brows, her face cold. “But if you don’t let go, they’ll be eaten by wild beasts once the sky turns dark, never to return.”

Er Bao was still young, after all. Upon hearing such a threat, he immediately let go in fear. With tears in his eyes, he begged pitifully, “Bad… Mother, you have to save Da Bao and Wu Bao.”

“I know.”

Mo Ruyue’s heart softened a little when she saw Er Bao’s big, watery eyes. The next moment, she pulled a long face and pushed him aside. “Don’t run around.”

After that, she picked up the rope and quickly left the house.

Mo Ruyue followed the route described in the book and found the back of the mountain. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was gradually darkening. The mountain forest was shrouded in a dangerous atmosphere.

As a killer in her previous life, tracking and counter-tracking were compulsory courses for Mo Ruyue. She followed the child’s footprints and some small clues and quickly chose the southwest direction, looking for a steep slope.

Not long after, she heard the howl of a wild beast. It was similar to the sound of a pig, but it had a bit more ferocity and bloodthirst.

Mo Ruyue’s eyes turned cold, and she immediately rushed down the hill. A dark brown beast shadow jumped down from the hill and crashed into a locust tree that wasn’t too thick.

It was an adult wild boar. Its two tusks curved down, flashing with a cold light as if it was eager to find prey to sacrifice to its teeth.

With a crack, the locust tree broke.

A gray figure fell, mixed with the clear cry of a child!

“Be careful!” Mo Ruyue’s expression changed. Seeing that Da Bao had fallen under the wild boar’s claws, she immediately picked up a stone and ruthlessly threw it at the wild boar’s hoof.

Her eyesight was extraordinary, so her accuracy was naturally remarkable.

The wild boar let out a blood-curdling screech and subconsciously let go of Da Bao due to the intense pain. However, it exploded with an even more intense rage the next moment and opened its mouth to bite Da Bao.

The line between life and death!

No matter how brave and calm Da Bao was, he was only an eleven-year-old child. When he saw the wild boar open its fierce fangs, he subconsciously closed his eyes in fear.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a slender figure pouncing over and directly crashing into the wild boar.

“Bad woman!”

Da Bao recognized him at a glance. The person who saved him was actually his evil stepmother, Mo Ruyue. Why was she here?

And why did she suddenly become so powerful that she was not even afraid of wild boars?

In the past, this woman was so pretentious that she would even scream when she saw a snake.

A black line appeared on Mo Ruyue’s forehead. She lifted Da Bao up with a straight face and hung him on a tree. She warned coldly, “If you don’t want to die, then stay here.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the wild boar that had been knocked off course just now came back again with a murderous rage. It wanted to bite the thin human Mo Ruyue to death!

Da Bao’s expression changed, and his eyes were filled with nervousness. “Be careful.”

However, Mo Ruyue did not panic. She did not run and even stood where she was. When the wild boar was about to pounce on her, she suddenly attacked. She grabbed the front hooves of the wild boar with both hands and tore it apart!

The wild boar’s skin was thick and rough, and ordinary sharp weapons couldn’t hurt it at all. So Mo Ruyue could only use her instantaneous explosive power and fighting skills to beat the wild boar as a strong opponent.

When the wild boar was no longer able to attack in close range, Mo Ruyue suddenly flipped over and rode on the back of the wild boar.

Then, she took out the sickle from her pocket and dug out the wild boar’s eye. She then found an old wound on the wild boar’s body and stabbed it ruthlessly.

After a high-pitched shriek, this troublesome wild boar finally fell down, throwing up dust on the ground, covering Mo Ruyue’s face.

Da Bao’s entire body stiffened as he looked at Mo Ruyue as if he didn’t know her anymore. “You… you actually killed a wild boar by yourself?!!”

Was this still an ordinary farmer’s wife?

Even the strongest hunter in the village would not dare to fight an adult wild boar alone. Usually, a few strong men would attack together, and only with the help of a trap design could they hunt the wild boar.

Previously, Mo Ruyue was lazy and stupid, and her body was still weak. She would fall sick every three days and fall seriously ill every five days. Every day, other than ordering the children at home to work, she would wander around the village and spread rumors. When people came to their door, she would cry and beg for mercy and apologize.

This kind of stupid woman who bullied the weak and feared the strong had long reached the point of being despised by people!

However, in order to save him, she killed an adult wild boar with her own hands!
