Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

The night is getting darker.

Xia Bai'an tossed and turned on the bed, listening to the autumn wind outside the window, his mind always remembered the children's injuries today.

Gotta go check it out.

After making up her mind, she immediately turned over, grabbed the coat on the shelf, put it on, and hurried outside.

Going around the screen, she was stroking the familiar road in the dark, but Mo Che gently grabbed her wrist. The man caught up with her at some point, and stuck close behind her, his thick back squeezed into her robe, tightly It was tightly attached to her back, with warmth.

"Did I wake you up?" Xia Bai'an asked in a low voice.

"It's a pigeon."

Mo Che's voice was also muffled, and he had only woken up from a dream not long ago, but he lowered his head mysteriously, buried it in Xia Bai'an's neck, and rubbed it like a big cat: "Sleepy."

"Why are you sleeping so lightly? It's normal for some birds to fly by outside." Xia Bai'an laughed, but he didn't move, but let him bury him in his neck.

As the acquaintance time got longer, she got in touch with Mo Che more and more.

She found that although Mo Che didn't like the contact of people outside, in fact he liked to cuddle with people inside.

When sleeping in autumn, sometimes he would wrap Xia Bai'an and the quilt together and hug him, sometimes he would sleep peacefully, but his arm would always stick to her, as long as he didn't stick it, he would wake up in the middle of the night and say something nonsensical Require.

Xia Bai'an didn't hate this feeling.

On the contrary, it's just pitiful. He must have not received much love when he was a child.

That's why they are so dependent on people.

Xia Bai'an waited for a while before Mo Che took a deep breath and raised his head from the nest of her neck: "It's a carrier pigeon. The informant's letter has arrived. I'll go and have a look."

"So that's the case, then you go to see the carrier pigeon, and I'll go to see Yu'er and Miao Miao's injuries."

Only then did Xia Bai'an leave his embrace, and walked from the corridor to the children's room.

Wu Yue, who was on vigil at the door, opened her eyelids to take a look at her, and followed her.

Mo Che walked out of the room right after him, looked at the carrier pigeons perched on the bare shelf not far away, and raised his hand to A Gao who pushed the door not far away.

"This subordinate understands." A Gao mouthed him from a distance, and asked Ao Pingchuan to come over and read the news together.

Mo Che went to the shelf and took the letter on the pigeon's leg.

He only glanced at it, his face changed slightly.

……

East wing.

Xia Bai'an took Wu Yue into the room cautiously.

She didn't want to wake up the children, but found that the lights were on in the boys' rooms on the right, while the doors of the girls' rooms on the left were open, and there was no one in them.

"Okay, if you don't sleep at night, each of you will lose your mind later."

Xia Bai'an muttered a few words, then politely knocked on the door on the right, and said softly, "Can you bring me one for chatting?"

May's hand holding the lantern trembled violently.

Who was it that said the harsh words just now?

There were messy sounds from the door, and Mo Qian came over and opened the door after a while.

Xia Bai'an looked inside, and there was an open food box hidden in the corner. The three younger brothers and sisters occupied the whole bed, and on the bed were two booklets she wrote for Mo Xue, and some words that came from nowhere book.

It's like the friends who secretly chatted at night during military training were caught.

Xia Bai'an thought aimlessly, walked over to lift up the food box, put the small table on the bed, put the pastry and fruit on the table, patted a few books on the table, touched some melon seeds, and asked: "Where did you talk just now, tell me too."

"..."

The three children were dumbfounded for a moment.

Mo Qian was stunned at the door for a moment, then called Wuyue in, put the lantern out and put it aside, and brought a chair to Wuyue: "Let's listen together, how bold you are."

"..."

May sat on the padded stool and remained silent.

If she had known that the new owner of this family was so good, she shouldn't have taken the risk of using a knife and knelt down to call Xia Bai'an's mother, maybe she could get such a good treatment now.

As she was thinking, Lin Miaomiao stuffed a handful of melon seeds into her hand.

Wuyue pinched the melon seeds and looked at them for a long time: "I don't know how to knock them."

"I'll knock it out for you." Xia Bai'an took a small plate vowingly, ate two for himself and two for Wu Yue, and asked again: "I don't sleep at night, eat and chat, what are you talking about, let me listen."

Lin Miaomiao blinked, handed Xia Bai'an all the melon seeds she had hidden in the handkerchief, and stared intently.

Xia Bai'an knocked her on the head, knowing that she would not knock it, so he gave it to him, so he gave her a little knock and put it on the plate.

Lin Miaomiao covered her head happily, and said softly: "I said there is a ghost in Lin's mansion. My brother and sister are looking for ghosts for me in the storybook, but they haven't been found yet."

Hearing that Lin Miaomiao boldly opened her head.

The other three children are not afraid anymore, Mo Yu leaned on the innermost cushion, and added: "Miao Miao said that the black shadows in the mansion always float here and there when they walk, we searched around, and the ghosts in the book are like this walking."

Mo Xue nodded, and helped Xia Bai'an eat melon seeds for the family, while saying: "Miaomiao also said that ghosts in the mansion would appear during the day, and the story book said it was nonsense, and brother said nonsense is impossible Things, we don’t have a clue for now.”

Mo Qian was helping to clean up the powdered sugar and debris on the hands of several people, sighing.

"It's fine to just appear in the daytime and float around. Miao Miao also said that the ghost was thin and tall, and she went to her room to remind her of things she had forgotten to see. None are right."

Lin Miaomiao muttered: "But the ghosts I've seen are really like this."

"A little more." Wu Yue stretched out his hand towards Xia Bai'an.

Xia Bai'an slapped her on the palm with a backhand: "Stop me from listening to the story, and find Mo Xue to learn how to eat melon seeds."

Wuyue shrank her fingers, sat down on the edge of the bed, let Lin Miaomiao sit on her lap, and asked Mo Xue how to eat melon seeds.

Mo Qian wanted to sit on the stool, but Xia Bai'an picked him up and stuffed him into the bed and sat cross-legged beside Mo Yu: "Sitting next to him looks like a little old man."

"I'm not a little old man." Mo Qian was dissatisfied.

"Neither old nor young, just right." Xia Bai'an rubbed his head, and picked up a few notebooks with great interest to read.

It is nothing more than strange stories about ghosts and gods.

Xia Bai'an flipped through two books and quickly scanned them, then raised his head in confusion: "I said, these books are all about fierce ghosts committing crimes and committing crimes, and they are all saved in the end. Instead of finding out what kind of ghost it is, you should find a powerful ghost." Come faster, monks and priests."

"Cough-cough-"

Mo Xue was choked on a mouthful of melon seeds, and her eyes were wide open for a long time, unable to recover.

Several children looked at each other, and Lin Miaomiao, who was always slow to respond, clapped her hands suddenly: "That's right, then the book is the right one to find monks and Taoist priests."

"Not really." Xia Bai'an was amused by the teasing, but instead put down the book, and asked her with a half-supported face, "Miao Miao, why must the black shadow that was bitten to death be a ghost? Maybe she is just a pretender? "
