Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens

Chapter 290: A Surprise Awaits You

They were rescued and brought out of the mess, and they couldn't repay kindness with enmity and become a burden to others for their own sake. So, they could only watch Lin Bao and the others leave.

Lin Bao didn't care what the people behind him thought. He followed Big Gray back the way they came and soon saw a burned area.

Moreover, this place is not far from the path they took down the mountain last night. The further they went, the more Lin Bao saw the torch that was half-buried in the snow.

He was able to recognize it because he was the one who made the torch and lit it, so he knew.

"Damn it, you bunch of inhuman bastards, just you wait, when I have time, I'll wipe out your whole place."

After he finished speaking, he followed Big Grey to chase after Lin Cai and the others.

Two hours later, they finally caught up with the person, but Lin Cai and the others were in a bad situation.

Although the child's condition improved, Luo Shiren's condition worsened. Not long after they left at dawn, Luo Shiren developed a fever.

He felt dizzy and couldn't even stand up. Although Gu Ershi carried him for a while, he was still young and couldn't hold on for long.

Lin Cai was carrying a child in her arms, and it wasn't easy for her to walk behind. They had only stopped for a short while when Lin Bao and the others came looking for them.

Lin Bao saw Lin Cai sitting there holding the child, so he ran over and asked, "How are you? How are you? What happened to you?"

Were you discovered last night? Did those people do anything to you?

When Lin Cai saw her third brother arrive and heard his question, she didn't react for a moment. After she came to her senses, she looked at Lin Bao.

"Why are there only the two of you? Where are the others?"

“I brought them to a safe place and then came over. He insisted on coming with me, and I couldn’t stop him, so I brought him along.”

"Ignore them, ignore me, just tell me what's going on with you first?"

"Are you sick? Tell me what you need right away, and I'll go find it for you."

Lin Bao was really anxious because Lin Cai's face looked extremely pale.

After hearing what he said, Lin Cai shook her head: "No, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest."

Hearing his younger sister say that she would be fine after resting for a while, Lin Bao quickly took the baby from her arms.

"What's wrong with this child? Has he been like this since yesterday?"

Then he looked at Gu Ershi and said, "Don't you have a medicine packet on you? Why don't you take it out and give it to the child?"

Upon hearing his words, Gu Ershi recounted what had happened before, and Lin Bao frowned after listening.

He didn't know that there was such a thing as putting medicinal herbs together.

Does that mean that everything they picked up is now unusable?

This place is not suitable for lingering, and there is no cover at all. It is easy to be discovered here. After resting, we were carried away by others and left together.

Two days had passed by the time they caught up with the main group after Big Gray. When Lin's mother saw her daughter return, looking so dirty, she was heartbroken.

"Tell me, how exactly have you taken care of your sister? Look at her now, look at her!"

"You were already thin, and now you're getting even thinner. You look like you haven't eaten at all, and you're all dirty. Do you make your sister do everything?"

As Lin Bao was being beaten, he cried out, "Mother, can you please stop accusing me like this? I didn't do it, I really didn't do it, this has nothing to do with me."

"It has nothing to do with you. Then what has something to do with you? Are you following Cai Cai to protect and take care of her?"

"If you had put your heart into it, would she be like this now?"

Lin Bao wanted to tell everything that happened that night, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he remembered the things Lin Cai had told him before they came back.

Before Lin Cai returned, she told them that they absolutely could not talk about what had happened before, otherwise it would only make them more worried.

In fact, that's not all. He can guarantee that if he tells his mother now, he will definitely get a beating.

"Mom, it's my fault, it's all my fault. I know I was wrong, and I promise I won't do it again."

There was nothing he could do; he couldn't beat him or out-argue him, so he had no choice but to back down. Upon hearing this, Lin's mother grabbed Lin Bao's ear.

"This is enough. You want to do it again? I think you're just asking for a beating, aren't you?"

Lin Bao kept insisting that he hadn't done anything, but it was no use. Lin Cai, who was sitting in the carriage, heard and saw it, but showed no intention of helping at all.

They had already left Longxing County and were heading south, and they hadn't seen a single person along the way.

If you're hungry, eat your own food. If you have extra, eat more; if you don't, eat less. If you really can't afford anything, just eat whatever you can find on the roadside.

Gu Jinniu sat in the back, holding a snowball in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Cai in front of him.

Since he saw Lin Cai, his gaze had never left her, and while he was looking at others, someone next to him was also looking at him.

Gu Xuewen had been watching Gu Jinniu's every move over the past few days, and he noticed that Gu Jinniu had been keeping a close eye on the Lin family.

Moreover, they were loitering around them, especially at night. If the two Lin brothers hadn't been taking turns keeping watch at night, the group would definitely not be so peaceful now.

Gu Xuewen watched for a while, then lowered his head. What did it matter to him what that person wanted to do to the Lin family?

Anyway, there are so many people in the team, so what's the big deal if one or two are missing?

Lin Cai had felt someone watching her from the very beginning. She turned her head casually and met Gu Jinniu's gaze.

Gu Jiao'er glanced at Lin Cai and, seeing that he had noticed, said, "He's been looking for an opportunity to target your family these past few days."

“I think if you had come back any later, something would have definitely happened to the team.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Cai turned and glanced at Gu Jiao'er indifferently: "You know everything?"

"Didn't you see that blatant look in his eyes? Or maybe he was just waiting for you, waiting for you to come back, to give you a surprise."

Lin Cai's lips twitched upon hearing this: "Sorry, I don't think this is a surprise."

Just then, Lin Long walked over. Hearing what his younger sister said, he looked over, but the person had already looked away.
