"Is it that important?" Mo Qianshang frowned slightly, her eyebrows furrowing in disapproval.
It had just rained outside, and we were in the mountains, so the roads were slippery and dangerous. What if there were other people with ulterior motives...?
She couldn't put her mind at ease, and was worried that the previous farce would be repeated in a different way.
When the little ones saw their mother like this, they immediately sensed something was wrong, since they wanted to persuade their second brother and little sister to go and make some arrangements together.
If Mother were present, then nothing could be done.
Just then, Qin Yuya, who had been quietly and obediently watching her brothers and mother talk, rushed into her mother's arms and sweetly acted coquettishly towards Mo Qianshang.
"Mother, how about I go with my brother? He can gather herbs, and I'll watch over him. I'm really good at it! I can definitely keep an eye on things for him."
The little girl was already the softest spot in Mo Qianshang's heart, and now that she was acting cute, she couldn't resist her even more.
Qin Heming and Qin Zixuan seemed to see a glimmer of hope, exchanged a glance, and began to persuade each other.
“Mother, my eldest brother and I still need you with us. It seems there are other things in the village that are also counting on you. My second brother and little sister will be fine together, so please let them go.”
As Qin Zixuan spoke, he leaned on Mo Qianshang and shook her arm. Qin Heming also quickly came over.
“Mother, we can’t be afraid of a rope for ten years after being bitten by a snake once. Besides, we are counting on you to take the lead in reinforcing the wooden bridge. No one should be able to attack us for a while.”
That makes sense.
After fleeing famine for so long, everyone is eager to find a new place to settle down. No one likes to spend a long time traveling on a road where they don't know if they will be hungry or full in the future.
Unable to resist the pleading eyes of the little ones, Mo Qianshang rubbed their little heads one by one, finally giving in helplessly.
"I can't argue with you guys! Qingyu, you and Yu Ya need to be careful, especially since Yu Ya is still young. Qingyu, you need to keep a close eye on your little sister."
"Yes, Mother, I will definitely pay more attention."
With permission granted, all the little ones relaxed considerably.
As if afraid her mother would change her mind, Qin Yuya kissed Mo Qianshang's fair face, then pulled her brother out with one hand and hurriedly waved goodbye to Mo Qianshang with the other.
Not understanding why Xiao Yao was acting this way, Mo Qianshang assumed that the little girl was just bored and eager to go out and play with her brother, and couldn't help but chuckle.
The remaining two little ones, seeing their mother laughing heartily, also covered their faces and chuckled.
Looking at Qin Baiyi not far away, a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart. Mo Qianshang was getting along better and better with the children...

When the brother and sister returned, it was more than half an hour later. Qin Qingyu reported the situation to Mo Qianshang.
Qin Yuya ran over to her eldest and third brothers, tilted her head, and whispered to her two older brothers with great enthusiasm. Before long, the three little ones were laughing together.
This made several families around them envious. The children in Mo Xiaoniangzi's family were so well-behaved; they were rarely seen arguing, unlike their own unruly sons and daughters!
Mo Qianshang was also very pleased, and then thought about roasting rabbits for the children.
Before anything even started, Qin Qingyu hesitantly approached Mo Qianshang again, her timid expression making everyone's hearts tighten.
"What happened, Qingyu?" Mo Qianshang looked up at her third son, continuing to marinate the rabbit meat.
Qin Qingyu was waiting for Mo Qianshang to speak, and after a slight hesitation, she said.
“Mother, I suddenly remembered that there’s a rare herb in the thorn bushes I just asked for…”
"no!"
Upon hearing about the thorn bushes, Mo Qianshang refused without hesitation.
When they first arrived, the children were all thin and small with rough skin. After these days of care and nurturing, they finally look like normal babies.
With such delicate skin, let alone whether they can pick medicinal herbs, they might easily get scratched by thorns and leave several bloody cuts, which is heartbreaking to see!
Furthermore, this child seems interested in studying medicine now, but if he wants to pursue a career in government when he grows up, then we should definitely not let him go down that path.
The current dynasty has explicit regulations that those with obvious facial or physical disabilities are not allowed to serve as officials in the court.
Even if there are scar removal medications in the store, if you're unlucky and the scars don't disappear in the end, then there's a big problem.
She didn't want her children to regret it later; she hoped that they could do whatever they wanted to do as much as possible in the future.
"But Mother... that medicinal herb is really rare. We've been traveling for so long, and this is the first time we've found it. Otherwise, I would have just..."
Qin Qingyu wanted to continue to coax and plead with Mo Qianshang, but Mo Qianshang suddenly stopped what she was doing, raised her cold eyes and stared at him seriously.
He was so frightened that the words he had prepared got stuck in his throat.
"You really want that medicinal herb that much?"
Sensing that her mother's tone wasn't as sharp as her eyes, Qin Qingyu quickly nodded and tentatively continued her request.
"Yes! That medicinal herb is really rare. I really don't want to miss it since I've come across it."
Seeing the determination in her son's eyes, Mo Qianshang ultimately couldn't bring herself to be ruthless.
"Then you stay in the cave with them. Tell your mother what the herbs look like and where they are roughly located, and your mother will go and pick them for you."
"Thank you, Mother!"
Qin Qingyu was genuinely happy to finally get the answer she wanted.
After handing the pattern he had copied from the medical manual to Mo Qianshang and pointing out the location, Qin Qingyu quietly turned around and exchanged a glance with the others before watching her mother leave.
No sooner had Mo Qianshang left than Qin Zixuan rushed to Qin Baiyi's side. After much persuasion, they finally managed to get Qin Baiyi to go out as well, worried that their mother might get hurt.
I hope that my father and mother will have a good future.

Because she was looking for medicinal herbs, Mo Qianshang checked her surroundings as she walked.
Indeed, she did not encounter any danger, but she was surprised to find that there were more and more flowers around her, swaying gracefully in the breeze after the rain, colorful and exceptionally beautiful.
It brings great joy to both mind and body.
Thinking that the rabbit meat would need to be marinated for a while, she slowed down and occasionally squatted down to take a closer look at the unknown flowers around her.
The bright smile on his lips never faded for a moment.
In that instant, she reverted to her lively, girlish self, showing no signs of being the mother of four children.
Seeing this scene, Qin Baiyi could no longer suppress the strange feeling in his heart, but he did not step forward to break this beautiful picture, but followed behind at a leisurely pace.
Mo Qianshang naturally noticed Qin Baiyi's presence, but in her heart, Qin Baiyi was not an outsider, but a friend worth making.
Enjoying the beautiful flower field after the rain with friends is a wonderful experience.
Unfortunately, this happiness didn't last long, as she suddenly smelled a different scent.
Her years of work experience told her directly that she had to avoid it immediately.
A gust of wind would occasionally blow, carrying the strange smell into her nose, and within a few breaths, her steps became unsteady and unsteady.
