Da Bao turned around to look at her, then walked toward the wolf pack.
All the giant wolves opened up a path for him to walk to the center and automatically formed a circle, surrounding him.
Every wolf lowered their heads and wagged their tails slightly, as if they were worshiping him.
MO Ruyue understood the meaning of this action and looked at Gu Ying in surprise.
Why would the wolf pack submit to a child when the wolf king was still around?
“Black Wolf King, what’s going on?
MO Ruyue turned to the black wolf king and asked.
The black wolf king shook its head. Other than this action, it did not make any other sound.
Da Bao didn’t know what was going on. But he still calmly accepted this “bow”.
After the brief interlude, the wolves still followed the previous ceremony to confirm Da Bao’s smell, then slowly dispersed to allow Da Bao to leave.
“Alright, Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, come over for a moment.”
MO Ruyue called the two elders over again, but they clearly lacked some courage compared to the babies.
“It’s okay. They won’t hurt you.”
MO Ruyue directly walked over, took the two people’s hands, and personally led them to the black wolf king’s side.
Perhaps it had sensed the aura of fear from the two, the black wolf king only twitched its nose and sniffed, not making any contact with them.
The other wolves followed suit and completed the identity confirmation from a distance.
“That’s good. Ying and I can go out without worry.”
As soon as MO Ruyue finished speaking, Da Bao turned around and stared at her.
“You’re going out?”
‘Yeah, I told you just now that I’ll be going out later.” MO Ruyue nodded.
She was still entrusted by ‘people’ to go out and save people.
“There’s a natural disaster outside right now. You want to go out at this time?
Da Bao’s expression turned cold, and so did his voice.
“When have you ever seen me do something I’m not confident in?” MO Ruyue asked in return.
This kid’s temper had grown as he grew older and had begun to learn to control her.
“No, I won’t agree to it.”
Da Bao became stubborn and was determined not to let her go.
“Alright, let’s wait then.” MO Ruyue didn’t insist and readily agreed.
“You won’t run away, will you?” Da Bao asked suspiciously.
“Why will I run away? If I want to leave, I’ll leave openly.” Mo Ruyue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She pointed to the house not far away and said to the babies, “Let’s go, Mother will bring you to see our new home here.”
She had to think of a way to divert the babies’ attention. When they found something to do, she would leave without anyone knowing.
Since they didn’t have her to lead them, they couldn’t leave this space. By the time they realized it, it was already too late.
Of course, MO Ruyue had the idea of sneaking away.
She could see the situation outside, so she knew that the natural disaster was not over yet. It would be dangerous to go out now.
However, compared to the terrifying momentum at the beginning, there were only occasional fireballs now. It was clear that it would not be long before the end.
If she followed Da Bao’s lead, she would lose the golden time to save people. She and Gu Ying had sworn in front of that “person” that they would do their best to save as many people as possible.
“Mother, we didn’t bring out any of our chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep. Is it all gone?
Tang Tang walked over, took MO Ruyue’s hand, and asked her.
“I don’t know. Maybe there’s nothing going on at home. When everything is over, Mother will take you back to take a look, okay?”
Although MO Ruyue said this, she had a feeling in his heart that when the time came, it would be hard to say if the Qin Village would still exist, let alone those livestock.
Even if the Qin Village was spared, they didn’t know when they would be able to return. Those livestock would also not be able to escape death.
It was just that there was no need to say these words out loud and make the babies sad in vain.
“Come, let’s go take a look with Mother. Maybe we’ll find some surprises.”
MO Ruyue saw that her babies were obviously in a bad mood and couldn’t bear it. After all, those animals were raised by her babies, so they naturally had different feelings for them.
She led Tang Tang, followed by the boys, and walked toward the house.
“Mother, this… Did you bring them here?”
Tang Tang pushed the door open and was stunned.
“No, I put it in later. It looks more like our home.”
MO Ruyue didn’t tell a white lie. Even if she did, the babies would still be able to tell that this wasn’t the livestock they had been feeding.
If her lie could not be exposed, then there would be a meaning to her existence, so she did not want to make the babies sad again.
“Yes, but they really do look alike.” Tang Tang said in a low voice.
She and San Bao were the ones who took care of the animals the most. She was in charge of the chickens, ducks, and dairy sheep, while San Bao was in charge of the cows, horses, and pigs.
The more effort one put in, the harder it would be to lose.
MO Ruyue gently stroked Tang Tangs head and did not intend to continue comforting her.
This was only the smallest of the countless rejections, and she had to learn to adapt to it.
This courtyard was built according to the scale, and it was more than twice as large as the previous courtyard.
It wasn’t difficult to build this courtyard. After all, MO Ruyue was the master of this space. She could control the building materials to fly with a thought.
With a detailed blueprint, it was not difficult to build such a courtyard without building blocks.
“Let’s go take a look at your rooms. Oh right, move your things down from the carriage later. Although you’ve left your original rooms, you can’t let go of your studies.”
MO Ruyue clapped her hands and gathered the scattered babies who were looking around in the courtyard. She assigned them new tasks. “Wow, shouldn’t you be sleeping on the brick bed? Why did it become a bed?” “Look at me, I’m not even afraid of falling down from above!”
“There are so many books on the shelves. When did Mother set them up?
“If only Mr. Du was here.”
Among the chattering, a single sentence entered Gu Ying’s ears.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at MO Ruyue.
“He’s the private tutor I invited for the babies. When I was about to inform
him, he wasn’t at home. I had no choice but to leave him a note, but I don’t know if he received it or if he managed to escape.”
MO Ruyue said frankly, but she was also a little worried in her heart.
She wondered how the Bai family and Elder Tian were doing. She hoped that heaven would help them.
“I can see that the babies have deep feelings for him, and they still miss him.”
Gu Ying said again. This time, MO Ruyues gaze was not right.
“Ying, you… Are you jealous?
“Yeah, a little.”
Gu Ying also said very frankly. He didn’t have any intention of hiding it at all. He was so calm that even MO Ruyue, who had asked the question, was a little stunned.
“Ying, what’s the smell of vinegar?” MO Ruyue slowly broke into a smile and whispered to Gu Ying.
“It can’t be dipped in the dumpling, it’s too sour.” Gu Ying also said in a low voice.
The two of them did not forget that although the babies were in the house, they could come out at any time.
“Ruyue, my room and your uncle’s room don’t need to be so luxurious. The two of us can’t take it.”
Aunt Liu walked out of her room and saw Gu Ying standing under the jujube tree in the courtyard. MO Ruyue was fiddling with the grass in the stables.
“Aunt Liu, you and Uncle have worked hard your entire life. What’s wrong with living in a better place? It’s okay if you’re not used to it now. You’ll get used to it as you live.”
MO Ruyue had never mistreated the people she thought highly of, so when she was building this courtyard, she used a lot of the gifts she had received. Even the main room of some rich families might not be as well decorated as the room of the Liu couple..
