I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

"I said, this is what I'm going to cook and eat tonight."

Bai Qingyao glanced at him unhappily. How could this young man have such poor hearing?

"I'll tell you the way to leave in a moment. Leave quickly and don't disturb the people in our village. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave when you want to."

"I can see that you deliberately let those people go, but I don't care why. As long as it doesn't affect our village, you can do whatever you want."

The masked man glanced at him. How did she know that he didn't want to disrupt the peace here?

Could it be that she recognized... Impossible.

As soon as this idea came to mind, he rejected it.

"it is good."

At the same time, he looked at Bai Qingyao with scrutiny.

There really was something wrong with her. A normal person would be completely panicked and even cower in fear if held hostage by a stranger, but she didn't show any fear at all...

She's not even afraid of me, yet dares to talk to me like that. Since she's not afraid, then... she has something to rely on.

Bai Qingyao walked in front and he followed behind. Soon they reached the woods. Bai Qingyao raised her hand and pointed to a small path not far away.

"You can get out by following that path. Can I leave now?"

The masked man did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he turned around and looked at her with interest.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Bai Qingyao raised her eyes and met his gaze. Looking at those eyes, Bai Qingyao was stunned.

Why do these eyes feel familiar?

However, she quickly retracted her gaze and said, "If you wanted to kill me, I would have been dead when you first appeared behind me."

This person was very strong and gave her a very dangerous feeling.

Not to be messed with.

"hehe."

The masked man chuckled, his eyes fixed on her face, lingering for a brief moment before continuing.

"We'll see you later."

But don’t say we’ll meet again, it’s better to say we’ll never meet again.

Do you think meeting him is a good thing? Not only did you almost lose your life, but you also almost caused endless trouble.

Bai Qingyao rolled his eyes at him, and the masked man turned and left.

After he left, Bai Qingyao wiped out all the footprints nearby except hers with the surrounding weeds and fallen leaves.

She walked in for a while, picked some wild vegetables nearby, put them in her backpack, and turned to leave.

When I returned to the Gu family, before I even walked into the door, I heard hearty laughter from inside.

When I pushed the door open, I saw Aunt Luo saying something to the three little ones.

Xue Mei sat aside with a smile on her face, occasionally interjecting a few words.

After this period of recuperation, Xue Mei was able to get out of bed and her body had almost recovered.

"Ayao, you're back."

Seeing Bai Qingyao, Xue Mei stood up and walked over.

Aunt Luo also looked up and greeted her.

"Girl."

Seeing the things in the backpack, Xue Mei frowned, "Ayao, why did you bring these pig offal back here?"

It wasn't an accusation, but rather a tone of doubt.

"Eat."

Bai Qingyao said it casually.

'Crack--'

Aunt Luo took a bite of the wild fruit and almost broke her teeth. After hearing what Bai Qingyao said, she suddenly looked up.

what?

eat?

What to eat

"Girl, what did you just say? What do you want to eat?"

Bai Qingyao thought she didn't hear clearly, so she repeated it to them.

"Mother, Aunt Luo, don't be surprised. These pig offal are very delicious after being processed. Believe me."

This……

The two looked at each other.

They believed Bai Qingyao, but this... was this too sudden?

Bai Qingyao glanced at them, then took out the other things in the backpack and took the backpack to wash them at the beach.

The smell of this thing is too strong when it is processed at home, so it is better to go out and process it.

Bai Qingyao brought the things to the beach. Not long after she arrived there, she heard footsteps behind her and turned around to look.

Gu Yichen walked over from not far away with a wooden barrel in his hand.

"Aunt Luo said you needed a wooden barrel, so I brought it over to you."

"Oh?"

Bai Qingyao raised her eyebrows slightly. "On the way? Where did you go just now?"

Hearing this, Gu Yichen put down the wooden barrel in his hand and looked up at her.

"I went to the island and sorted out the piece of land that I didn't finish cultivating yesterday. I can plant vegetables directly then."

He spoke very naturally, without any guilt on his face.

Bai Qingyao looked up and looked into his eyes. These eyes were so similar to the eyes under the mask.

"What are you doing?"

Gu Yichen changed the subject and his eyes fell on the basket beside her. "Is this... pig offal?"

"Ah."

"What are you doing with these?"

"Eat."

Bai Qingyao said casually, "Why else would I buy it?"

"Can these things be eaten?"

Bai Qingyao raised her head and looked at him. "You'll know whether it's edible or not after it's done."

After saying this, she continued, "You came at the right time. There is no fresh water here, only sea water. I can't wash. Can you help me get some water?"

To clean these things, you need water, and more than just a little water.

"it is good."

Gu Yichen nodded, picked up the two wooden barrels, turned around and left.

After staring at his back for a while, Bai Qingyao looked away. No matter who he was, they would have nothing to do with each other soon, so she didn't need to worry about it anymore.

He lowered his head and began to process the pig offal in front of him.

People here don't eat pig offal. After the butcher kills the pig, all the internal organs and other messy things are piled together and have not been processed at all, so it is also a huge project.

Bai Qingyao first separated them and began to clean them bit by bit.

After sorting, Gu Yichen came over from not far away carrying water.

"Pour it into this tub for me."

In the wooden basin were the things she needed to wash, and Gu Yichen nodded.

In this way, Bai Qingyao cleaned up and Gu Yichen fetched water. After more than an hour of work, the pig offal in their hands was finally cleaned up.

Looking at the clean and tidy pig offal, Gu Yichen looked at her in surprise.

These smelly things can actually look so clean after being processed.

Bai Qingyao had no intention of answering his questions. She picked up the backpack, held up the wooden basin, and looked at him, "Let's go. It's time to go home."

After processing the pig offal, it was almost time for dinner.

After returning, Bai Qingyao found that Xu Zisheng had already arrived at Gu's house.

When he saw Gu Yichen again, Xu Zisheng was still a little confused. This person looked really familiar, but where had he seen him before?

Bai Qingyao looked up and saw Xu Zisheng's fixed gaze. "Brother Xu, what are you looking at?"
