Chapter 115 He was so frightened he fainted

The village chief thought it over carefully. There would definitely be danger on this journey. Ningbao wasn't his child, so he couldn't offer his opinion. He then looked at Mu Dasheng.

"Dasheng, what do you think?"

Mu Dasheng pondered for a moment and then raised his voice to the side.

"Junshan, Chunping, come here for a moment."

Mu Chunping and Shen Junshan, who were chatting idly not far away, responded with a "yes" and walked over.

"Dad, Uncle Village Chief."

"Uncle Dasheng, Uncle Village Chief."

Mu Dasheng looked up at them.

"My leg started feeling uncomfortable early this morning. I predict it will rain for the next two days, and the rain will be quite heavy. We must find a place to take shelter from the rain tomorrow."

Junshan, Ningbao said she wants to go with you to investigate the bandits' den. Chunping, Ningbao is your daughter, can you come along too?

Upon hearing that Ning Bao was going to the bandit's den, Shen Junshan and Mu Chunping both frowned. Shen Junshan looked at Ning Bao and asked,

"Is Ningbao trying to find shelter from the rain in a bandit's den?"

"Uncle is so smart!" Ningbao gave her uncle an admiring look.

"Yes, I just calculated that there's nowhere to take shelter from the rain ahead of us on our normal route."

If we set off as planned tomorrow, we will definitely get caught in the rain, and most of us will catch a cold. The lack of medical care, medicine, shelter, and clothing would be a disaster for us right now.

Conversely, bandit hideouts are readily available places to take shelter from the rain; going there is the perfect solution.

Shen Junshan thought for a moment and nodded.

“Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Dasheng and Ningbao are right.”

Those bandits are either dead or wounded, they shouldn't be able to put up much of a fight. I'm willing to go with Ningbao."

Mu Chunping looked at his little daughter with concern.

"Ningbao, do we really have to go to the bandits' den?"

Ning Bao nodded firmly.

"Yes, we must go! This is the only way we have a chance."

Ning Bao wasn't talking nonsense; she had just consulted the oracle, and if they set off as planned tomorrow, the divination indicated great misfortune.

After this rain, most people will get severe typhoid fever, including their own family members.

Moreover, Mu Dasheng, who was already in poor health, was facing a life-threatening situation and might not survive the ravages of this typhoid fever.

That's why Ningbao insisted on going to the bandit's den.

If Mu Dasheng really died, not only would Li Guizhi, Mu Chunping, and others be unable to accept it, but even she herself would be unable to accept it.

Looking into Ning Bao's determined eyes, Mu Chunping seemed to detect something unusual within them.

Mu Chunping was stunned for a moment.

"Okay, let's go then."

Those bandits are all vicious and ruthless people. Ningbao, you must be careful, stay close to your uncle, and remember to listen to your uncle in everything. You absolutely must not run around..."

Ningbao's family members took turns giving her earnest advice, and just when Ningbao felt her ears were about to grow calluses from all the nagging, Mu Dasheng finally forced her to leave.

Ning Bao didn't let Shen Junshan carry her; she rode Lingling directly towards the bandit's den.

Inside the bandit's den, the third bandit, who had lost his right leg and right eye, was lying on the bed, while the eldest and second eldest bandits, who were covered in wounds, were chatting idly.

"Ouch!"

The second bandit, writhing in pain, tried to turn over, but the pain instantly made him howl in agony.

"Damn it, it hurts so much! I can't swallow this anger, elder brother and third brother."

We brothers have been roaming the martial world for years, and we've never suffered such a great loss. I simply can't swallow this insult.

The blind third brother, lying on the stone bed, frowned.

"Second brother, do you want to seek revenge on them?"

The second bandit nodded through gritted teeth.

"Yes, I want revenge."

Although we haven't gone out these past few days, I haven't been idle either.

I sent people to follow them, and these people have been resting in a mountain valley not far away for the past few days.

Moreover, many of them are injured, so if we gather men and launch a surprise attack under the cover of night, the chances of success are quite high.

The third bandit pointed to his injured right leg.

"Second brother, I can't go out with you to take revenge in my current state."

Sigh! My right leg and right eye are ruined. I'll be a cripple from now on. I think I'll just have to go down the mountain and find a village to make do with my life once I've recovered.

I don't have any grand ambitions in this life; I just hope I can drag this broken body along and live a few more years.

The third bandit had no interest in the second bandit's suggestion; he just wanted to recover from his injuries and save his own life.

After this experience, he finally understood that doing too many bad things would bring retribution. The loss of his right leg and right eye brought back a little bit of his conscience.

The third bandit secretly made a decision in his heart...
