I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

Chapter 409

"Ms. Qin, Young Master Ying, the meal is ready, you two take a rest, let's eat first?"

The old man in charge of cooking came to say hello. If Mo Ruyue and the two didn't take their first bite, they wouldn't pick up the bowl no matter how hungry they were.

"We're not hungry, you eat first, I still have something to do."

Mo Ruyue walked straight to the victims who were bound and thrown aside. She also had someone to interrogate.

The man had been taken away by the aroma of millet porridge, staring at the steaming pot, swallowing saliva.

"Want to eat?"

Mo Ruyue stood beside him, directly blocking his sight.

The man nodded desperately, and stretched his neck to look at the pot again.

"Tell me how you got here."

The victims were stunned, looked up at Mo Ruyue, and swallowed hard.

"This lady, we just want to come here to discuss stuttering, we don't really want to hurt people."

He remembered the sturdy appearance of Mo Ruyue just now, and the corpse left on the ground, and his heart suddenly beat up and down.

"Answer my question." Mo Ruyue repeated impatiently.

"Yes... there was a woman who suddenly rushed out, crying that she was going to enter the city, and didn't want to starve to death outside. We saw that she didn't seem to have been hungry for a long time, so we surrounded her and asked..." a bit."

"She said that there are still companions here. Everyone didn't starve all the way, but they starved to death when they didn't want to go outside the city, so we... just came here."

The victims answered intermittently.

Mo Ruyue's eyes were cold and sharp, as if he could see through him at a glance, and he didn't even dare to make more eye contact with her.

Even if he beautified his answer, Mo Ruyue could guess the woman's fate, and just by looking at his dodging eyes, he knew that he would never dare to tell the truth.

"What happened after you came here?" Mo Ruyue continued to ask.

"Answer after thinking about it, don't force me to use other means."

When the victim was about to answer, she reminded again that even if he wanted to tell a lie, there were still survivors to testify, and he could easily pierce him.

"We... let's send two people over to check the situation first. Seeing that no one seems to be starving, we are going to ask for some food to go back."

"As a result, they said that they had eaten up their food and refused to give it. We didn't believe it, so we said we would check it out. As soon as the two sides were in a hurry, they started to act."

In desperation, the man could only repeat what happened before. Even so, he was still trying to find any reason to beautify himself and shirk responsibility.

"Let's not talk about whether there is food in the end, but if there is food, why should it be distributed to you?"

Mo Ruyue made the victim shut his mouth with a word, showing an embarrassed expression.

"If you want to live, you must deprive others of the hope of living. Who gave you the right?"

She followed up with the second sentence.

Although it is not uncommon for people to be punished for their own sake, and the social order is chaotic after a natural disaster, it is not uncommon for tragic things to happen, but since Mo Ruyue has decided to take care of it, she will take care of it to the end.

"Where do you want to take that little girl?"

Mo Ruyue asked the third question, and it was this question that made the victim suddenly turn pale, his face was completely pale and bloodless.

"No, I didn't want to take it anywhere, just... I just wanted to exchange her for some food."

After a long time, he choked out a word of insincere words.

Even he himself didn't believe this sentence, and he didn't expect Mo Ruyue to believe it.

"Very good, just go hungry, because you don't deserve any grain of food."

Mo Ruyue didn't force him to tell the truth, because she wasn't sure that she wouldn't break the man's neck directly after hearing the answer.

She stood up, just as Gu Ying came over with a bowl.

"Eat something, the night wind is too cold, just to warm up."

In the bowl was thick millet porridge, seasoned with salt, and a few pieces of pickled vegetables.

Although this meal is extremely simple, for the victims who have been hungry for a long time, it is more tempting than the delicacies of mountains and seas.

He swallowed hard, struggling with his bound hands, trying to free himself and grab the bowl from Mo Ruyue's hand.

Mo Ruyue held the bowl and sat down not far from him, so that he could see the porridge in the bowl more clearly.

Gu Ying deliberately asked the old man to make the porridge thicker, and the injured survivors had to eat enough to have the strength to continue on the road.

Since the town here is already overwhelmed, they can only look for the next place. As for those people in the city, they can't care.

"My lady, please, give me a stutter, even if I deserve to die, can you make me a ghost?"

How could the disaster victim resist this temptation and begged Mo Ruyue.

It's just that she used this bowl of porridge to punish him on purpose, so how could she get his wish.

Mo Ruyue turned a deaf ear to the begging of the victim, and just drank the porridge slowly, and it tasted delicious with a few pickles.

The survivors also looked here from time to time, their eyes full of hatred for the disaster victim.

Mo Ruyue caught one of the victims who rushed in front of her. When she didn't come back, this person must have killed the survivors, otherwise it would not have attracted such resentful eyes.

Slowly pour a bowl of porridge

After drinking it all, Mo Ruyue took out a piece of cloth and stuffed it into the man's mouth, turning the disturbing noise into a vague whimper in his throat.

"Ah Ying, it's not suitable to move Deng Feng tonight. They are also in shock. Let's rest for a night and leave in the early morning tomorrow."

Mo Ruyue walked to Gu Ying's side and whispered.

Ordinarily, for the sake of safety, you should leave now, and the disaster victims outside the city gate will be fine. If the county magistrate in the city is disturbed, it will be even more troublesome.

However, looking at the appearance of the survivors, one by one is still in shock. Even if they want to go, they can't go far, and the firelight in the night will make the target more obvious.

"In my opinion, let's hit the road now."

Gu Ying shook his head.

It was quiet, except for the crackling of the bonfire and the sound of the night wind.

It is early spring now, and it is time for all things to recover, and the bugs that have been dormant for the winter should also come alive again.

Insects are a wonderful species with the weakest and strongest vitality. Even if this natural disaster can kill and injure large animals and plants, it cannot make insects disappear.

But Gu Ying didn't hear any insects, or the sound of crawling and drilling, which showed that they had sensed danger in advance and were all lurking.

Although the survivors organized spontaneously and began to patrol the surrounding area, they were too slow to predict the danger. If they really waited for them to discover something, it would be really late.

Mo Ruyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then it's up to you, and now let them pack up and prepare for the journey."

It was she who was particular about it.

Deng Feng can completely transfer to the space, so he doesn't have to worry about the shaking of the carriage that will crack his wound.

As for the lighting problem when everyone is on the road, they can be connected by ropes to avoid getting lost and left behind. As for the stones and unevenness on the ground, they can only use crutches to explore the way.

Although it is a bit troublesome, at least it can improve the concealment of movement.
