After a few days, Ba Wangniang's diarrhea became more severe, her face turned as pale as paper, and the flame of life gradually went out.

Ba Hai was extremely anxious and finally found a doctor to treat Ba Wang's mother.

The doctor wrote out a prescription, but Zhang Xiaoya tampered with the medicine secretly while boiling it, and several key herbs were discarded secretly.

Ba Wang's mother struggled on the sickbed for several days, but ultimately did not survive.

When she passed away, her eyes were filled with reluctance and tears. She stared at the young Ba Wang. Those eyes seemed to penetrate life and death, conveying endless worry and attachment to her son.

Until the last moment of her life, her eyes were still open.

From then on, Bawang became an orphan with no one to rely on, and his world collapsed overnight.

Ba Hai took care of Ba Wang's mother's funeral and was immersed in grief.

He originally planned to live out his life alone and just wanted to focus on raising his son to adulthood.

However, how can a grown man take care of a child in every aspect?

At this time, Zhang Xiaoya found Bahai and expressed her willingness to become Bawang's stepmother and take care of him until he grows up.

She had taken good care of Ba Wang's mother when she was seriously ill, which made Ba Hai grateful to her.

After Zhang Xiaoya's repeated requests, Bahai finally agreed to the marriage and married her.

However, Zhang Xiaoya doesn't really like Bawang.

On the surface, she was caring and loving towards Bawang, but in fact, she had evil intentions.

She forced Ba Wang to eat large amounts of food, and even pried open his mouth and stuffed pig swill into his mouth.

Bawang was young and weak, unable to resist and could only endure it silently.

Whenever he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, Zhang Xiaoya would punch him in the stomach and force him to vomit out what he had eaten.

The dog in the yard was called in to lick the vomit, and everything was handled cleanly.

While sewing clothes, Zhang Xiaoya even took pleasure in torturing Bawang.

She took an embroidery needle and stabbed Ba Wang randomly. Every time Ba Wang screamed in pain, she threatened to sew his mouth shut.

Because the embroidery needle was so thin, even though Ba Wang's body was pierced by countless needle holes, no traces could be seen after he took off his clothes.

Zhang Xiaoya's abuse of Bawang became increasingly severe. She even threatened that if Bawang dared to inform on Bahai, she would throw him into the back hill to feed the tigers.

In order to stay with his father, Bawang had to grit his teeth and silently endure Zhang Xiaoya's abuse.

His mind gradually twisted in fear and despair, and he became taciturn and timid.

On the day of the accident, the moonlight was hazy and the breeze was blowing gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

Bawang was chopping firewood in the yard, sweating profusely, but he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

As he was immersed in the rhythm of chopping wood, his eyes inadvertently swept towards the back mountain, where the small wooden house was looming in the night, as if hiding some secret.

Zhang Xiaoya, the nominal stepmother, never really cared about Bawang.

In her eyes, Bajiang, the inconspicuous man in daily life, has become her lonely comfort at this moment.

Bahai married her just to give Bawang a nominal mother, but the affection between them had long been worn away by the coldness of the long years.

The entanglement between Zhang Xiaoya and Bajiang is like a secret in a cabin in the back hills, quietly blooming in the quiet night.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she would sneak there to meet Bajiang.

She knew in her heart that such a relationship would never be allowed to be exposed, but she was unable to extricate herself from the loneliness.

However, fate always seems to play tricks on us.

That day, Zhang Xiaoya and Bajiang were making love in the cabin when suddenly there was a creaking sound outside the door, as if someone had stepped on a dry branch and broken it.

Ba Jiang stood up alertly and pushed the door open, only to see Ba ​​Wang, who had followed him at some point, standing outside the door with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

When Bawang saw that he was discovered, he was terrified. He turned around and ran, but fell to the ground in panic.

He struggled to stand up, but found that his body seemed to have lost control and he became stupid.

Ba Jiang and Zhang Xiaoya were horrified upon seeing this.

They carefully examined Ba Wang's body but found no obvious wounds.

Could it be because of the severe head injury when he fell?

But such an explanation is obviously too far-fetched.

A vicious idea came into Ba Jiang's mind. He wanted to kill Ba Wang once and for all to prevent future troubles.

However, Zhang Xiaoya stopped him.

She knew very well that if Ba Wang died, Ba Hai would definitely get to the bottom of the matter, which would only cause more trouble.

Moreover, she married Ba Hai for Ba Wang. If Ba Wang died, she would probably not be able to be the boss's woman anymore.

So, Zhang Xiaoya pretended nothing had happened and went back to the yard, and began to look for Bawang in a big way.

Although she was panicking in her heart, she remained calm on the surface.

Finally, she pretended to accidentally find Ba Wang in the back mountain, and Ba Wang inexplicably became stupid.

After Qin Suling learned all this, the anger in his heart surged like a raging river.

She never thought that Zhang Xiaoya would treat a child like this!

Her heart was filled with hatred for Zhang Xiaoya, and she wished she could cut her into pieces.

Based on the scene that emerged in his mind, Qin Suling began to look for the place where Ba Wang fell in the back mountain.

She walked extremely carefully, not missing any details.

When she walked to a certain place, she suddenly felt a different breath.

She stopped and squatted to take a closer look.

I saw a jade plate lying quietly on the ground. It was warm to the touch and had a fine texture. It was obviously a priceless top-grade jade.

She picked up the jade token with an idea in her mind, but her determination to seek justice for Ba Wang became even stronger.

The night was as dark as ink. On the desolate back mountain, Qin Suling held the jade token in her hand. The jade token seemed to contain an aura that was closely related to Bawang, as if they were from the same root, which made her heart skip a beat. On the jade token, there seemed to be a faint glow, looming, and it was exactly the same as Bawang's former aura.

Just as Qin Suling put the jade token into his arms, he heard a slight noise behind him, like the sound of dead branches and leaves being crushed.

She was startled and turned back suddenly, only to see a gray-haired mouse running past quickly and disappearing into the night.

She stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a false alarm.

However, a gust of cold wind blew past, making her clothes flutter, but it also made her feel the loneliness and desolation of these desolate mountains and wilderness, and she couldn't help feeling a chill in her heart.

She stared down at the jade token in her hand, feeling the tremendous energy contained within it, as if a warm current was surging in her palm.

However, she knew nothing about the source and nature of this energy. She knew that the most urgent task was to bring the jade token back so that Ba Wang's soul could return to its place.

Just as she was about to leave, a dark shadow suddenly flashed out from the darkness and blocked her way.

The black shadow was tall and had a ferocious face. It was Ba Jiang.

His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the underworld: "Miss, you finally want to leave? Unfortunately, it's too late."

Qin Suling's heart tightened. She knew that Ba Jiang was not a good person, but at this moment she could only pretend to be calm and try to deal with him. She took a deep breath and said calmly, "I have no ill intentions here. I just strayed into this place by mistake. Please show some mercy and let me live."
