“This amount of food is enough to support those people for a while.”
MO Ruyue looked at these unexpected surprises, and the huge stone in her heart finally fell.
The survivors now relied on the food she brought back for a second time. Even if they started farming now, it would take at least a few months to harvest.
No matter how frugal she was with the food she took out, it was only enough for those people to eat for less than a month. The batch of food seized now was enough to last them for another month.
In two months’ time, even if they planted some corn, potatoes, and vegetables, they would be mature. This would solve the food problem, and they would not have to worry about starving to death.
“I thought that the women who were rescued were all pampered by rich families. Even if they were brought back to the village, they would only consume food and would not help.”
“It would be better to give them some money and food, give them two carriages, and then send them away.”
Gu Ying explained his plan and MO Ruyue immediately agreed.
“I think it’s feasible. We can’t stay in that village forever. Even if we can’t help them to the end, at least we can’t bring trouble back.”
“Especially those two women. I don’t want any more trouble to happen.”
MO Ruyue was not a saint. The two women who coveted her man were still alive because she had been living with her babies for more than half a year. Her original cold-blooded and heartless behavior had been restrained a lot.
It was already their good fortune that she didn’t take the initiative to find trouble with them. It was impossible to get any more help and benefits from her.
“Then, pack up the things. When we leave tomorrow morning, we’ll leave the things for them. That’s already very kind of us.”
MO Ruyue did as she said.
She took out several cloth bags and straw bags from the medium.
One was filled with money, and the other was filled with food.
In just an hour, the two of them had divided the money and grain into five.
Out of all the women who had been kidnapped by the bandits, only five of them had survived. However, two of them had already become delirious and deranged fools.
Miss Tian and Lin Xu were not easy to deal with. With them around, it was hard to say if the two crazy women could keep their money.
However, this had nothing to do with MO Ruyue and Gu Ying. After all, they couldn’t possibly take care of those two girls forever.
Finally, smoke rose from the small courtyard in the distance. No matter who started the fire, it meant that those women could have a warm meal tonight.
As for MO Ruyue and Gu Ying, the two of them took advantage of the time when no one came to eat and went back to the interspace.
Because they didn’t expect the two to come back, when the Liu couple and the five babies saw them, their eyes widened in surprise.
“Mother, why did you suddenly come back? Are you going to take us out?” San Bao’s reaction was the fastest. He immediately jumped up and rushed to MO Ruyue’s side.
The space was vast, the scenery was beautiful, and even the air was fresh, but… He was too lonely.
Even if they had wolves, the black panther, and the livestock raised in the courtyard as companions, the only ones he could talk to were the Liu couple, his brothers, and his little sister.
San Bao felt that he was so bored that his hair was about to grow out, and he couldn’t wait to go out and get some fresh air.
“I’m afraid not. Let’s wait a few more days. Your Uncle Ying and I still have things to deal with outside. When we’re on our way again, we’ll find an opportunity to take you out.”
MO Ruyue would not rashly bring the babies outside when the situation was unclear.
It was fine to say that she was overly protective. As long as the babies were not in any danger, she didn’t care even if people said that she was arbitrary.
“Ruyue, you guys haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’m going to cook some noodles and break a few more eggs. You guys can go out after you’re full.”
Aunt Liu interrupted from the side and as expected, she spoke of MO Ruyue’s thoughts.
However, she had another purpose in returning to the space, which was to dilute some of the spirit spring water for later use. When she returned to the survivor’s village, it would be useful.
After the meal, MO Ruyue and Gu Ying left the space again.
There were still a bunch of bandits in the yard and a few women who had survived in the village. The two of them could not rest in the space in peace in such an environment.
However, they did not choose to rest in the main house either. Even though the smell had spread for a long time, the whole house was still filled with an unpleasant fishy smell.
MO Ruyue even felt that if she stayed in this room any longer, her whole body would be stained with this smell that would not be eliminated.
They locked the door of the main room and moved it to the side room.
Not sleeping for a night would not affect the two of them. They lit an oil lamp and prepared to meditate instead of sleep to pass the night.
There were occasional rustling sounds outside the house. The singing was heard, but in the middle of the night, the sound became faintly discernible and gradually became silent.
Even though it was already spring, the power of the chill of reversed spring was still very strong.
In the latter half of the night, the temperature could even drop below zero degrees.
The bandits had already been seriously injured when they fought with Gu Ying and had become paralyzed. In addition, they had been in the rain for a whole day and were beginning to freeze in the middle of the night. Even if their bodies were made of iron, they could not bear it.
Some of the weaker ones had long been drowned to death by the mud.
As for those with strong physiques, they were all on their last breaths and were barely hanging on.
MO Ruyue and Gu Ying naturally didn’t care about the bandits’ lives. In reality, they didn’t take their lives personally because they didn’t want them to die too easily.
With the previous experience of running into walls, neither Lin Xu nor Miss Tian came to disturb MO Ruyue’s alone time.
However, she was also very clear that when the two women left, their eyes were flashing with a light that refused to admit defeat.
After running away from natural disasters and being pillaged by mountain bandits, to them, meeting a man as strong and capable as Gu Ying, who also looked extremely handsome and tough, was simply their last straw to clutch at.
How could they retreat so easily?
If nothing unexpected happened, the two of them would definitely think of another way to stay by Gu Ying’s side.
However, Gu Ying had already arranged two paths for them, and there were only two. He just didn’t know how wonderful their expressions would be when they heard the news tomorrow morning.
Once MO Ruyue thought of that scene, she couldn’t wait.
The sky outside brightened too slowly, and it really delayed her from watching a good show.
Before the sun rose, the clouds in the sky had already gradually dispersed. The night outside slowly faded from dark blue, like ink being dyed in a layer of mist, gradually revealing a layer of white.
The eastern sky was suffused with a hint of white, and bright golden-orange color was painted on the edge of the white line, beginning to spread across the entire sky.
MO Ruyue woke up from her state of meditation. When she opened her eyes, they were clear and there was no sign of fatigue from not sleeping for the whole night.
As she stood up, Gu Ying also opened his eyes.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Everything was said without words..
