Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 173

Lu Jixiang scolded Lu Ruyi a bit, and Lu Ruyi immediately fell silent, no longer daring to speak.

“I’ll just follow you, brother, you mustn’t leave me behind.”

Lu Jixiang led Lu Ruyi to a few large boulders. Because Lu Jixiang couldn’t see anything around them now, it was pitch black all around, as if there was a monstrous beast with a gaping bloody mouth approaching them.

And Lu Ruyi stood there feeling very afraid. He shivered with fear as he watched Lu Jixiang’s movements.

Lu Jixiang took out some cookies from his backpack and gave them to Lu Ruyi.

“Let’s have something to eat first. We’ve been walking all night and we must be hungry.”

“Are we really going to eat these? They’re so dry.”

Lu Ruyi complained. But even with the complaint, there was no other choice, because the two children couldn’t go anywhere else now, they could only wait here.

While eating the cookies, they looked around at the scenery.

The scenery was beautiful, but after the moon rose, everything was silvery on the ground.

In the places without moonlight, everything else was in the shadows.

Lu Ruyi looked for a while, then didn’t dare to look anymore. He hugged Lu Jixiang and hid in Lu Jixiang’s arms.

When they had adults taking care of them, the two children were usually very arrogant. But now without any adults around, they had secretly run away, so they were a bit scared.

Jixiang and Ruyi hid here and ate a few cookies. After finishing, the two small children lay down on the rocks to rest.

“The rocks are so hard, my back is aching. I feel like my whole body is in pain. Brother, let’s not sleep on this.”

“Then do you want to sleep on the ground? The ground will hurt even more, and there are a lot of bugs on the ground.”

“I don’t want to sleep on the ground, I want to sleep on a bed. I miss Mom and Dad. Brother, do you miss Grandma? Let’s go home.”

“But we’ve already secretly run away. If we go back home now, Mom will definitely beat us again. Since we’ve decided to come out, we have to persist to the end. Ruyi, you’re already a little man now. You have to be strong, you know?”

“Then I don’t want to be a man anymore. I don’t want to be strong either. Brother, let’s just admit our mistakes to Dad and Mom. As long as we admit our mistakes, they won’t blame us. I feel like it’s so dark around here now, it’s like there are flesh-eating beasts. And there’s something on my body, it’s a bug and it’s biting me.”

Lu Ruyi, who was already scared, was huddling next to Lu Jixiang and shivering, when he suddenly felt his arm go numb.

He reached out and pinched it, finding that it was an ant. It was a long-tailed one.

This kind of ant bites.

Lu Ruyi was bitten, and he immediately stood up and shook his whole body, hoping to shake off all the bugs on him.

Now at this time they were in the mountains, where there were already many mosquitoes, snakes, insects, mice and ants began to crawl up in groups.

And Jixiang and Ruyi, being such a big heat source and being children with relatively tender skin, were soon crawled all over by bugs on their bodies and faces.

Some were even bitten by mosquitoes, making Jixiang and Ruyi cry out in pain.

Lu Ruyi started crying loudly, crying and hiccupping. In the end, Lu Jixiang also started crying. The two of them were crying and wailing loudly.
