Chapter 201 - 201 Fighting For Favor
201 Fighting For Favor
When the black horse heard what she said, it suddenly turned around and lifted its hind legs at the barrier in the middle of the stable. It kicked the wooden board so hard that it cracked. The brown horse and the big young mule next door were so shocked that they started to spin around.
Mo Ruyue knew that the better a horse was, the more violent its temper would be, so she didn’t get angry when she saw the black horse kicking up a fuss. She was just trying to figure out the reason for the horse’s sudden outburst.
Although the black horse still looked weak, it was still breathing air at the brown horse and gritting its teeth. Its hooves kept digging at the ground, as if threatening the brown horse.
So, it was trying to fight for its favor?
“If you want me to take you there, you have to recover first. Otherwise, you can’t run for long distances. Are you still trying to be brave?”
Although Mo Ruyue’s mouth was scolding, she still handed over an apple to it. No matter how one looked at it, she was pampering it very much.
If she had bought this horse earlier, she might have been able to take it with her this time. It would definitely be a good horse if it was raised well. But why did such a good horse fall into the hands of a horse dealer like that, and become so sick?
Fortunately, it had met her in the end. Otherwise, if it had been delayed for a few more days, she would not have been able to save it.
After the big black horse ate the apple, it came to rub against Mo Ruyue and was very intimate with her. It was recovering very quickly now. It seemed that it would be completely cured when she came back. Then, it would be her company when they traveled far in the future.
Very soon, it was time to set off for Ping City.
It was originally Mo Ruyue’s turn to give medical services, but after she received the reply from the magistrate, she changed her shift schedule and changed her medical service time to yesterday. Moreover, it was only half a day’s time, and she went home early.
When Mo Ruyue led the brown horse out of the stable, the black horse threw a tantrum again. However, this time, Mo Ruyue did not comfort it. Instead, she looked at it indifferently, and the black horse actually quieted down.
The babies followed behind Mo Ruyue and were stopped by her when they reached the courtyard gate.
“Alright, let’s stop here. You don’t need to send me off.”
Mo Ruyue didn’t want the villagers to think that she was the one who wanted to abandon her son and run away.
“When you’re not at home, take care of yourselves. Da Bao, Mother will leave your younger siblings to you.”
She warned the babies and then looked at Da Bao.
“I will, don’t worry.”
Da Bao nodded. Although his answer was short, it was as firm as ever, making people believe in his promise instinctively.
Mo Ruyue suddenly realized that Da Bao seemed to have grown a lot taller. His physical body was that of a tall person, about 1.7 meters tall. Now, Da Bao seemed to be only half a head shorter than her. He was only 12 years old and he was already so tall. Wouldn’t he grow into a man like an iron tower in the future?
She shook her head in her heart.
Although Da Bao was young, his facial features had gradually opened up. He was handsome and heroic. If he was matched with the body of an iron tower muscular man, it was really very out of place.
It seemed that she still had to formulate a special fitness plan for Da Bao. The other four babies had also grown very fast, and she was afraid that they would also have the same problem. She had to pay attention to it early.
However, this would have to wait until she returned. The most important thing now was to do a good job with the operation of the magistrate’s daughter. As long as the operation was successful, the problem of blood plasma would slowly come to the stage.
She had heard that there were many skilled craftsmen in this world. She could use them to “develop” some key equipment.
Although she had initially become a doctor who saved people passively, she now wanted to improve the medical level of this world. She couldn’t say that it would benefit the people, but it would be a real benefit to be able to make a huge sum of money from those rich people.
“Mother, you must be careful on the road and come back soon.”
Er Bao stood beside Da Bao. His eyes were filled with reluctance.
Ever since his mother had changed, they had never been apart for such a long time. His mother had said that she might travel far away often, and he had thought it was a joke at that time. But now, it turned out that it was true.
“Okay, I will. You guys take care of yourselves, look after the house, and wait for me to come back.”
After Mo Ruyue finished speaking, she waved to them and said, “Alright, go back now. Remember to turn off the mechanism at night and don’t go out. I’ll be leaving now.”
She really wanted to turn around and leave, but the more she said, the more words she had to say. Why did she feel that there were always things that made her worried? It was as if she was always missing a word of advice.
It wasn’t her usual style to drag things out.
By the time she finally left, it had already been five minutes since she was about to leave. Seeing the sky in the east start to turn white, Mo Ruyue suddenly realized that it was getting late.
She immediately stopped talking and mounted the horse. With a whip, she rushed out, not giving her a chance to continue talking to the babies.
The horse’s hooves kicked up a cloud of dust. Fortunately, the babies were all standing in the courtyard and were not blown away by the dust. They only looked at the back of the figure in the distance, but they all felt a little empty in their hearts.
The familiar figure was no longer on the road to the village entrance. However, Er Bao still tiptoed and stretched his neck to look around. After a long while, he turned to ask Da Bao, who was beside him.
“Big Brother, do you think Mother won’t come back one day?”
San Bao, Si Bao, and Tang Tang also turned their heads and looked at Da Bao eagerly.
Even when they were abused by their mother in the past, they had never hoped that she would leave quickly. After all, with their mother around, they were not rootless duckweed or floating duckweed.
Now that Mother’s personality had changed, although she rarely smiled at them before, now that she was smiling more and more, they were even more reluctant to see her leave.
However, the people in the village said that their mother was so capable now. She was young and had no blood relationship with them. Sooner or later, a man would appear and make her leave them and go away.
Now, shouldn’t they start to get used to the days without their mother by their side?
“No, Mother promised to raise us well, so she will not go back on her words.”
Da Bao also looked in the direction that Mo Ruyue had left and said with unusual determination.
Mo Ruyue galloped on her horse, following the route that she had already memorized from the map. Even eating and drinking were done on the horse.
The brown horse she was riding was an ordinary horse. It could carry a lot of weight, but it was obviously not good for long-distance running, so she would adjust the horse’s speed in time so that it could maintain its physical strength while running.
When it was close to noon, Mo Ruyue found a place by the road with trees and big rocks to stop. She first led the brown horse and walked slowly for a while, letting its inflated lungs slowly calm down. Then, she took out a water bag.
It was diluted spatial spring water. She was going to slowly improve the brown horse’s physique. The spring water could not only improve the quality of herbs, but also improve the physique of humans and animals. So she was also looking forward to whether the spring water could change a horse with ordinary qualities.
