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

Boss Zhang enthusiastically took them back and forth between two villages.

The two villages are better than yesterday's, with vast land and few people, and the rice fields are not bad, but they are far beyond Xia Bai'an's budget.

"There is still money at home." Mo Che reminded.

"Having money and my budget are two different things."

Xia Bai'an crackled the small abacus in his hand, and then looked at Boss Zhang, "Boss, the land I asked for should not be too large, nor too small. If it is too big, it will be taxing and consume a lot of manpower, so I can't handle it."

Boss Zhang became embarrassed: "Miss Xia, in fact, you have seen almost all Zhuangzi in this radius, and there are not many that can meet your ideas."

Xia Bai'an had an idea.

"Is there any other Zhuangzi, I can buy it. If you can help match the bridge at that time, I will also give you the money."

"It's... not impossible. It's even said that one of them meets Miss Xia's requirements, but it's just the story behind the house..."

Boss Zhang's small face was tightly wrinkled, but seeing Xia Bai'an's blazing gaze, he still gritted his teeth and agreed to look.

It's just that it's getting late, and Boss Zhang proposed to go back to the inn to rest first.

Xia Bai'an shook his head: "There's not enough time. I'm going back to cultivate the soil tomorrow. I don't have time to watch it again. It's best to finish it today and make a decision after I cultivate the soil."

"This, Miss Xia is too busy."

"Busy is busy, it's best to get things done early, and ask the boss to take us there."

Xia Bai'an cupped his hands slightly, but it was full of sincerity.

Boss Zhang had no choice but to compromise, stepping on the tail of the dusk, and led the two of them through a small road in the suburbs of Beijing. First, a dilapidated fence came into view. After getting closer, the yard was full of dead people. The big tree, with loose cloth hanging high on the branches, is extremely cautious.

Xia Bai'an could not help but shudder: "Why are you so gloomy?"

"To be honest, this house has been abandoned for more than ten years, let alone say." Boss Zhang pushed the door indifferently and continued, "It's just because this house is unlucky, it is often haunted by ghosts, and there are some unknown ghosts hidden underneath. The secret passage dug out from time to time was originally bought by two buyers, but they both left in a daze soon. In the end, a story about a monster seeking revenge in the mountains caused panic, and the Prime Minister bought it temporarily. It’s been left unused.”

"The Prime Minister is really a good man."

And there is money.

Xia Bai'an couldn't help feeling emotional, while pushing aside the wooden branches in front of him and walking inside.

This house is very strange.

The surrounding maple leaves were all fiery red, but the maple leaves on the ground here withered quickly, turning curly and black, and when you stepped on it lightly, these dead leaves instantly shattered into pieces.

"call--"

The wind suddenly picked up, passed under the dilapidated eaves, and actually made a sound like a woman crying.

Xia Bai'an took a step back in shock: "Damn it!"

A warm embrace was attached to her back, and she was jumping in fright, but was pulled into a familiar embrace the next moment, and Mo Che's forearm landed on her waist, encircling her.

"I am here."

"I was almost scared to death by you." Xia Baian patted his chest with lingering fear.

With a cold face, Mo Che pinched her waist, then hugged her and continued walking inside.

Boss Zhang and the guys around him also supported each other and walked in.

At the end of dusk, the slight light only illuminates the outline of Zhuangzi, but inside Zhuangzi's doors and windows, there is a heavy darkness, bottomless.

It seems that something can come out of it at any time...

"Roar--"

The roar of the beast suddenly came from inside.

Xia Bai'an's eyes changed, and when he heard the almost inaudible heavy breathing coming from inside, he subconsciously wanted to take out the weapon from the space.

The man behind him suddenly flashed.

In the darkness, a jackal with red eyes suddenly jumped out.

"what--"

"Help!"

The man and Boss Zhang were scared out of their wits, but the jackal had already soared into the air, and its two long fangs were about to stab down their necks.

"Run!"

Xia Bai'an made a sound to remind, but the two people seemed to be fixed in place, motionless.

Crisis awareness is too bad!

Xia Bai'an's eyes froze, he lowered his body, and suddenly rushed up with a vigorous step, opened both hands with lightning speed, and threw them both to the ground.

The slender jackal flew into the air with a low growl, its drooping tail impatiently swept over the dead leaves on the ground, and turned back.

Xia Bai'an took a mouthful of mud, and when he heard the sound of the beast's throat rolling, he felt uneasy and turned over immediately.

You have to fight back.

She gritted her teeth, and the stamens in her palm emerged...

"Roar!"

A howl suddenly came from the jackal's throat, and the red eyes suddenly shrank and widened. After taking a step, he fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Xia Baian retracted the stamen in his palm again: "Why..."

"Crack-"

The sound of the long knife being sheathed came from behind.

Hearing the sound, Xia Bai'an looked back, only to see that the hand with sharp bones had already been passed in front of him, and Mo Che was standing under the eaves against the light, with a natural expression.

"stand up."

"Just now... wow!" Xia Bai'an was suddenly picked up, and he stood upright with all his hands and feet.

When she calmed down at this moment, she saw that the back of the jackal was open, and the cold blade left a scar with deep bone visible on it, and another small dagger pierced the jackal's heart from the bone on the back.

The blood didn't even have time to spurt out, fearing that the jackal's pain didn't come early, so he was killed.

Xia Bai'an felt his blood was cold.

How fast is Mo Che's knife.

When she turned her head, Mo Che still had a calm expression. He just raised his hand and wiped off the dust and mud on Xia Bai'an's face domineeringly and forcefully: "Do you still want to see this house?"

"Ah?" Xia Bai'an came back to his senses in a daze, quickly looked at the size of the Zhuangzi, calculated the area hastily, nodded, "Look!"

"Follow me."

"Ah good."

Xia Bai'an hurriedly followed Mo Che's pace.

On the ground, Boss Zhang and his assistant supported each other to get up. They saw a large amount of blood quickly accumulating under the jackal's body, and shouted to keep pace with Xia Bai'an and Mo Che.

After stepping into the house, Xia Bai'an discovered that basically everything in the house has become a lair of wild beasts.

The doors and windows were almost broken, but there were a lot of hay inside, and some not-so-fresh animal carcasses, like food brought by carnivores, and a few empty bird's nests hung on the beams of the house.

"This house is indeed not normal."

Xia Bai'an frowned, and bent over to check the traces on the ground, "Most wild animals may live in the house temporarily, but they will choose to live near the water source or in the cave, or even move around, but there are not a few animals that have settled here, there are problems .”
