Chapter 12: Picking up the wrong person
I shouldn't have mentioned the missing eldest brother if I knew it, and now that she did, she had to find someone.
"Don't cry when you're old, my mother will look for your eldest brother later, okay?" The last thing she can see in her life is that someone is crying, especially when the other party is still a cute milk doll, Bai Mushuang patiently said to the little guy, "Don't you know the ability of the stepmother?" Promise to help you get your brother back. ”
"Really?" Tears and snot were still hanging on his face, and the little guy's swarthy eyes looked at Bai Mushuang like this, with anticipation in his eyes, "Stepmother, do you think something will happen to my brother." ”
He left alone, and he had been gone for almost three days, although Xiao Shu was also the oldest of the three children, but the child was still a child, and his heart must be extremely immature, easy to be deceived or encounter accidents on the road.
Originally, Bai Mushuang wanted to wait for the two children to fall asleep before walking to the town, but now that the situation has changed, she must go over as soon as possible.
"You and your brother stay at home and take care of the house, I'll go out and bring your brother back."
"Thank you, stepmother." Sui Sui didn't know how to thank her, but at this time, Bai Mushuang, who was completely unrelated, became his closest person.
After talking to Sui Sui, Bai Mushuang was not idle, and after sending away the strong man who was repairing the cowshed, she set off from the other side of the mountain in the direction of the town.
Along the way, she saw some well-grown wild mushrooms, and she picked some along the way, these mushrooms are far inferior to matsutake mushrooms, but they also taste good in soup after drying.
When she was bargaining with the proprietress in the shop before, Bai Mushuang found a problem, the ancient people in this world did not have the concept of dried vegetables, and the mushrooms sold in the basket were all fresh, and on the way back, I had not seen any dried ones for sale.
Maybe the author of the original book didn't write too much to describe this piece, or maybe it was a strange world in the first place.
But that's fine, she can dry all her things and sell them, and she can also pick some game and send them to the town after pickling and drying, and maybe make a fortune.
After planning it like this, Bai Mushuang generally had some ideas, picked up mushrooms all the way, and suddenly found that there was a person lying in the grass.
At first, she thought it was a hunter who had gone up to the mountains to hunt, but when she looked closer, she found that there was a thin and frail boy lying down, and the boy looked about the same age as Xiao Shu, and if she looked closely, her appearance seemed to be somewhat similar to Sui Sui.
"He's the boss?" Bai Mushuang quickly squatted down, her fingertips touching the young man's snort.
Fortunately, I just fainted and haven't lost my breath yet.
As long as there is still a breath left, she can save people, and if they die, the two little cubs will definitely cry to death.
Bai Mushuang took out the water bladder that had been prepared before from the bracelet and sent some water to the young man's lips, and he didn't know if it was because he had been in a coma for too long or for some other reason, the water flowed directly from the corners of his lips.
The water can't be poured in, and the person must have been in a state of consciousness, and in this state, Bai Mushuang can only dip a little water with a leaf and apply it to his lips to keep his lips moist.
Now that he had found Xiao Shuyi, Bai Mushuang decided to carry him back first and then find some herbs for him to decoction.
Don't look at the young man's thinness and weakness, and his clothes look very shabby, but when he really carried it up, Bai Mushuang felt that he was so heavy, and this heavy feeling made her a little breathless.
She cursed a few words in her heart, and when Xiao Ruoqing was reinstated, she must compensate her twice, otherwise, she would sell all those little cubs.
carried it all the way home, and when she reached the door of the house, she was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to breathe.
"Stepmother, you're back." Sui Sui is the most clever, as soon as Bai Mushuang came back, he ran out of the back room, and he was shocked to see that Bai Mushuang was still holding a person.
"Why did you pick someone up......
"Isn't it your big brother?" She put the boy down and leaned against the big locust tree in the yard, Bai Mushuang said to Sui Sui while wiping the sweat on her forehead.
Unexpectedly, the little guy shook his head directly, pointed to the young man who fell into a coma and said, "He is not my eldest brother." ”
At that moment, Bai Mushuang's mind went blank.
has been a big guy for so many years, and he has never missed a single time, why is it that after crossing into the book, everyone has picked up the wrong one?
"If you take a closer look, it's really not your big brother?"
"No, my eldest brother has a scar on his face, or was it burned on the brazier when you just got married, why did you forget?" Sui Sui looked at her suspiciously and asked.
Bai Mushuang hurriedly made an excuse and said: "This is not the last time I was knocked out by you, it may have hurt my head, I don't remember the appearance of the boss very clearly, I saw him lying on the grass and dying, so I brought him back by the way." ”
"I'll just say, you're a weird woman." At this time, Nian Nian also came out of the back room and looked at Bai Mushuang with an indifferent expression.
He had been waiting for an opportunity, wanting to catch Bai Mushuang's fox tail, and after waiting for so long, he finally made him wait.
"Sui, I told you a long time ago, she either has ulterior motives, or she is not that stupid woman at all." Xiao Jingnian sneered coldly, "Say, who sent you?" Do you want the lives of our family of four? ”
He has a very strong insight, everything he says is on the point, and he even recognizes that Bai Mushuang is not the vicious stepmother before.
Bai Mushuang smiled helplessly: "As far as you still have your father's poor and sour appearance, why don't I disguise myself as someone else and come over to be your old mother?" ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Sui Sui again: "Sui Sui, what do you think?" The stepmother wants to hear your opinion. ”
Sui Sui seemed to be a little scared, and timidly hid behind Nian Nian, his big eyes looked at Bai Mushuang like this, with expectation in his eyes: "I don't care if my stepmother is not the original one, I only know that the current stepmother can let me eat and eat, and I can also give me clothes to wear, so that I will no longer be bullied, and my father has woken up twice, these are the most important things for me." ”
"Do you hear me?" The woman looked up at him, saw a look of shock in the boy's eyes, and immediately said, "Does it matter who I am?" ”
"This ......"
"Water...... ......"At this time, the young man's weak cry for help suddenly came from behind him.
