The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

When they walked out of Old Meng's house, the sun was setting. Meng Ruyue was stunned for a moment when she saw the large and small packages in her brother and sister-in-law's hands. They were really poor. Although she was also an orphan in her previous life, she could not resist the good world - when she had difficulties, she could turn to the government for help. But now, not only was she alone and helpless, but she also had two little burdens.

"Yue girl, how are you going to live in the future?" Meng Jianshan looked at the three children and became worried about them. "Why don't you stay at your uncle's house first?"

The two little ones' eyes lit up when they heard this.

"No, uncle." Ru Yue refused without a second thought, pleading, "Uncle, there's help in emergencies, but there's no help for poverty. The three of us siblings will have to make our own livings in the future, and it wouldn't be good to cause trouble to you and your aunt for a long time. I've thought about it, that thatched hut at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village belongs to the village, right? Can we stay there temporarily?"

Meng Jianshan looked at Meng Ruyue, thought about it, and agreed that it was feasible. "That thatched hut was built by hunters from the surrounding villages. It's been abandoned for a long time. You can live in it for now."

"Uncle, thank you for troubling us today. We'll stay there for the time being." Meng Ruyue bowed to Meng Jianshan, "Don't worry, uncle. We will settle down as soon as possible and won't make things difficult for you."

"Don't talk nonsense with your uncle. Not only can you not write two Meng characters with one stroke, but your uncle can't just ignore the friendship between your father and me."

"'There is always a way out.' Uncle, please believe in Ruyue. I will definitely take care of my younger brother and sister-in-law and raise them well." Meng Ruyue said firmly, thanked Meng Jianshan again, and walked towards the village entrance with the two little kids.

The setting sun stretched the figures far out, stretching Meng Ruyue's thoughts far into the distance. As she walked, she pondered how she was going to make ends meet. In her past life, she had many methods, but doing so without arousing suspicion was difficult. After all, the original owner had been such a slouch, and finding a way to make money without drawing suspicion was a real challenge. Meng Ruyue frowned unconsciously.

"Sister, don't worry, I will help you with the work." Meng Anping developed a sensitive personality in the old Meng family. Seeing his sister frown, he thought she was worried about the coming days, so he spoke to her seriously.

"I can do it too." Xiao Ruxue immediately expressed her wish to her brother and sister.

Meng Ruyue looked at the sensible siblings, her heart melting. "I know you two are very capable. Don't worry, our future won't be any worse than it was at the Meng family's. At least no one will steal our food, and no one will beat or scold us anymore." Meng Ruyue pretended to be relaxed and said to them, "You have to trust me. We will definitely get better and better."

"Sister, we believe you." The two children said in unison.

"Since you trust me, let's go quickly. It's getting late and we need to settle down quickly." The three siblings smiled knowingly and quickened their pace.

The road was not far, and the three of them arrived at the thatched hut at the entrance of the village while chatting and laughing.

Although the thatched hut was simple, it was passable for Meng Ruyue, who had no high standards. There was a wooden bed in the hut, and even some hay was left on it. There were a few large stones at the door, which must have been used as a stove. Looking at the smoke curling above the village, Meng Ruyue, although she still couldn't tell the time, knew it was getting late. She quickly ordered, "Go and collect some firewood and branches from the surrounding area, otherwise we will really starve."

The two children agreed and walked out.

Meng Ruyue did not waste any time. While her brother and sister-in-law were collecting firewood, she pushed and moved the big stones to the door, built a simple stove, and placed the pot she brought from Old Meng's house on it. It was not bad. Although it was simple, it was not difficult to cook a pot of porridge.

Meng Ruyue had just finished all these when the two children came back with firewood.

"Sister, is this enough?" Xiao Ruxue asked her sister hurriedly when she saw her sister.

Seeing the two little ones carrying a pile of firewood that was bigger than themselves, she hurriedly said, "That's enough, that's enough. Come and help Sister cook."

Meng Ruyue washed the corn, added a sweet potato, lit the firewood with a flint, and started cooking dinner.

The sky was getting darker, and Meng Ruyue hurriedly packed up the bedding she had brought while still daylight. Fortunately, it was early summer and the straw hut was still very dry. As long as it didn't rain heavily, it would be fine. However, safety was difficult to guarantee.

The aroma of rice porridge wafted from the pot. Not only the two children, but also Meng Ruyue couldn't help swallowing their saliva. They had only eaten two fruits at noon, and they were indeed hungry at this time.

A large pot of thick corn and sweet potato porridge exuded an enticing aroma, and the three of them couldn't help but smile. Meng Ruyue sprinkled a little salt, filled a bowl for each person, and started to eat. The three of them looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

After eating their fill of porridge and rice, the three siblings cleaned up the tableware. Meng Ruyue asked her brother and sister-in-law to wash up, and she ran to the river to pick a handful of fresh mugwort, picked up two thick wooden sticks, and hurried back to the straw hut.

She pressed all the mugwort onto the cooking fire, and soon, thick smoke filled the area around the straw hut.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Xiao Ruxue asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes at this time. Mugwort smoke can drive them away so that we can sleep well." Meng Ruyue answered patiently while tying a hemp rope one foot high on both sides of the wooden door to make a simple tripwire. She then tied the rope tightly around the door and bolted it tightly.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Anping became upset when he saw this.

"Don't worry. We should always be on guard against others. There are only three of us siblings here. It's an extra layer of protection in case there are bad guys." Meng Ruyue said cautiously.

"Sister is amazing, she knows everything." Xiao Ruxue's eyes sparkled with admiration as she praised her sister. Meng Anping also nodded repeatedly.

"Go to sleep quickly. We will start our own lives tomorrow. Don't stay in bed." Meng Ruyue coaxed her brother and sister-in-law while lying down to rest.

At first, the two little guys were asking questions all over the place, but after a while, they quieted down. After all, they were really tired after a day of hard work.

Originally, Meng Ruyue was planning to study the space further, but her weak and tired body could not hold on and she fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Meng Ruyue was awakened by a rustling sound. She quietly got out of bed, picked up a thick wooden stick, and peered through the wooden door. In the dim moonlight, she saw two shadowy figures gently tugging at the door. Their fingers reached in, groping and pulling at the rope. Those fingers seemed to press down on her heart. Oh my God, there really are thieves! What she saw made her suffocate for a moment.

The two men probably didn't have any weapons on them, otherwise they would have been able to cut the rope, which was only as thick as a finger, through the crack in the door.

Meng Ruyue quickly woke Anping up, covered his mouth to indicate that there was someone outside the door, and put another stick in his hand.

Anping suddenly perked up, tiptoed out of bed, held the wooden stick tightly with both hands, and stood against the wall. His hands holding the stick were shaking slightly, not knowing whether it was from nervousness or fear. His deliberately suppressed breathing sounded so heavy and rapid in the silent night. Meng Ruyue glanced at him and carefully stood back by the door.

Just as the two men were standing in position, the wooden door was opened. A figure could not wait to step into the shed, but was tripped by the hemp rope tied across the middle of the door and fell flat on his face. "Damn, there's an ambush."

Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the head with a strong club. Then Meng Anping hit the man on the head again and again. Although he was small and had limited strength, he was very powerful and used his weapon well, so he actually knocked the man unconscious.

Meng Ruyue was not idle either. As soon as the man in front fell to the ground, she jumped up and hit the man behind her on the head with a stick. She really intended to cut the man's head off, and her hands were merciless. She knew in her heart that if she couldn't knock this man down this time, then they, the siblings, would be completely finished. It can only be said that at the moment of life and death, the potential is unlimited.

After a beating from the brother and sister, the two "black shadows" were knocked down almost silently. The brother and sister hurriedly tied the two men tightly with the hemp rope used to fasten the door.

At this time, Xiao Ruxue was also awakened. She knelt on the bed, rubbing her confused and frightened eyes, looking at her brother and sister, and then at the two uninvited guests.

Meng Ruyue quickly ran over, tucked her sister into the quilt, and hugged her tightly. "It's okay, it's okay. Brother and sister will drive away the bad guys and protect our Xiaoxue'er."

Meng Anping also ran over, stretched out his thin arms to hug his elder sister and younger sister, and said: "Don't be afraid, Xue'er, I will protect you and your sister."

The three siblings hugged each other tightly, comforting each other's fear and conveying their warmth and care to each other.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Xue'er will also protect brother and sister." The little girl's childish voice also eased the tension and anxiety at the moment.

After comforting his sister, Meng Anping quickly lit the firewood at the door, and the door instantly became bright.

Meng Ruyue recognized them at once. They turned out to be Ma Xiaoliu and Zhang Erqiang, the idle guys in the village. They wanted to take advantage of them because they saw that the three siblings lived here far away from the villagers. Meng Ruyue splashed the water she had fetched in the evening on their faces.

With a start, both of them woke up.

"You little bitch, let us go, or I'll kill you tomorrow." Ma Xiaoliu started cursing as soon as he woke up.

Meng Ruyue stepped forward and blasted Ma Xiaoliu on the head with a bucket of water. Before he could even open his mouth, Zhang Erqiang started hurling obscenities at him, "You little bitch, you dare to hit us? Damn it, I'll kill you and me when I get up."

Meng Ruyue grabbed the watering can and started beating them both left and right, not caring about their heads or buttocks. "I told you to scold me, you filthy rascals! I'm going to beat you to death today and see if anyone will redress your grievances." Meng Ruyue scolded and beat them as she did so. Perhaps she had never seen such a fierce sister before, and she also shocked the younger siblings.

At first, the two scoundrels were still cursing, but after Meng Ruyue beat them up, they could only beg for mercy, "Sister Yue, we were wrong. We won't dare to do it again. Please let us go." Ma Xiaoliu was indeed a man who could bend and stretch. When he saw that the curses and threats were ineffective, he started begging for mercy.

"Sister Yue, please forgive us. We all live in the same village and see each other every day. Please forgive us brothers this time. We won't dare to do this again." Zhang Erqiang was not as quick as Ma Xiaoliu, but he was also smart. When he saw that he couldn't scare Meng Ruyue, he knew that he would get nothing to gain tonight. As long as he was free, wouldn't everything be decided by his brothers?

Meng Ruyue could see through their little tricks and hit both of them on the head.

"You want to trick me into letting you go so that you can be free and take revenge." Meng Ruyue touched the heart of their problem.

"No, no, we would never dare to retaliate." Seeing that his evil plan was discovered, Ma Xiaoliu hurriedly denied it, but the surprise that flashed in his eyes exposed his true colors.

"Hehehe," Meng Ruyue sneered, "Do you believe it yourself?"

"Then what do you want to do?" Ma Xiaoliu knew that he and Meng Ruyue could not fool him, so he just gave up.

"I don't believe you really dare to kill us." Zhang Erqiang also understood it and acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"You're right, I really don't dare to kill you two." Meng Ruyue didn't hide it. "But I dare to give you two something delicious to eat."

The two of them looked at each other unconsciously, seeing confusion in each other's eyes, and then turned their eyes to Meng Ruyue.

Meng Ruyue took out two black balls from her sleeve pocket and laughed again, "Hehehe," "Guess what these are?"

The firelight was a little far away and the straw hut was still a little dark. The two ruffians couldn't see clearly what it was, but they knew it was definitely not a good thing.

"What are you going to do? We won't eat it." Zhang Erqiang became smart now and quickly closed his mouth.

Ma Xiaoliu stared at Meng Ruyue with a wary look on his face, as if he was looking at a monster.

Yes, how come the girl who used to not dare to look up at people suddenly became so scary?

Meng Ruyue didn't bother to waste time with them. She handed the black pill to Anping, pinched Zhang Erqiang's nose with one hand and pinched his jaw with the other. Zhang Erqiang's mouth was wide open like a city gate. Anping didn't hesitate and directly threw the pill in. It rolled down his throat with a gurgle.

Following the same method, Ma Xiaoliu also swallowed the pill.

The two of them coughed violently and retched, trying to spit out the pills, but it was no use.

"Don't waste your energy. This is a chronic poison my father left me before he left. I'm the only one with the antidote. Just listen to me and I'll give it to you on time. Otherwise, you'll end up with a ruptured intestine." Meng Ruyue spoke slowly, as if she was saying that the weather was nice today. "You can also go see a doctor. I don't think they can diagnose it in our town or the county. You can go to the provincial capital and try. Maybe there's a doctor there who can tell you."

When the two heard this, their swollen faces immediately turned pale. If what Meng Ruyue said was true, wouldn't it mean that their lives would be in her hands from now on? But at this point, they really didn't dare to do anything else.

Meng Ruyue gestured to Meng Anping to untie them and said slowly, "You need to take the antidote every seven days. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences. And by the way, don't try to force me to give you the antidote just because you're free. How could I possibly keep something so important on me?"

Now that they were free, the two men didn't dare to act rashly, nor did they want to leave in disgrace. They just stood there stupidly without moving.

"Suspect I'm lying to you? Hehehehe." Meng Ruyue chuckled again. "If you don't believe me, you can try taking a deep breath."

The two of them took a deep breath at the same time, and suddenly felt a dull pain in their chest, and were immediately at a loss.

"I told you, this poison won't harm you as long as you take the antidote on time. And as long as you listen to me, I will give you the antidote on time. After all, as a girl, I don't want to be responsible for two lives at once, don't you agree?"

The two of them looked at each other, hung their heads, and walked out of the hut in silence.

Seeing that her brother looked like he was about to speak, Meng Ruyue quickly put her finger to her lips, made a gesture to keep quiet, then stood up and locked the wooden door again.
