The Old Mu family, who were so poor they jingled, went crazy. It was a time of famine, and everyone was rushing to flee, yet they went out of their way to pick up a little girl.
Ning Bao carr...
Chapter 143 is all stained with blood.
"Dajiang, you're right. My Ningbao does have a place to put things, but whether we can help with this depends on Ningbao."
Ning Bao and Li Guizhi sat next to Mu Chunping and Shen Yuzhen.
After hearing Mu Dasheng's words, everyone looked at Ning Bao in unison.
"Village Chief, this is a small matter, I can help with this."
The village chief was overjoyed to hear Ning Bao say he could help.
But before he could even rejoice, Mu Dasheng continued,
“Dajiang, you know how things are in this world. My Ningbao is still a child, and I don’t want her to get hurt. So I hope as few people as possible know about Ningbao’s abilities. It must not be spread.”
"Brother Dasheng, don't worry, I'll make sure everything is handled properly," the village chief earnestly assured Mu Dasheng.
Ningbao gave the two elderly people a reassuring look.
"Grandpa, Village Chief, don't worry. Those who want to harm me usually end up being the first to suffer."
By the way, Village Chief, I did a divination before and it said we'd be having some bad luck lately. If you trust me, you can entrust me with your valuables, like the things we dug up in the mountains.
"If it gets stolen, it'll be gone. But I was just mentioning it casually. It's fine if they don't want to give it up, just don't cry if you lose your things."
village head:"……………"
Since the decision was made, no one was going to delay any longer. Mu Chunping carried Ningbao directly to the place where the prey was released.
The village chief gathered all the villagers, young and old, together. He gave them a sharp look and then said in a deep voice,
"We've been in the woods for so many days, we've probably all forgotten how cruel it is outside."
Now everyone has heard that cannibalism has started outside.
Although it's dangerous outside, we can't stay still forever. To get south, we must leave this forest and follow the official road for a while until we reach Lanyu City.
The situation is very serious. We definitely won't be able to sell the game we brought today. We can only wait until Lanyu City to see what happens.
Lanyu City is a big city; who knows, our prey might fetch a good price.
“Village chief, although the weather is cool now, it will still take at least ten days to half a month to get to Lanyu City. By the time we get the prey there, it won’t be fresh anymore.”
The village chief glanced at the person who had asked the question.
"I have already considered the question you asked, and I will find a way to handle it, so you don't need to worry."
Now I want to emphasize a few things. First, everyone must keep a close eye on their family members and children and make sure they don't fall behind. If anyone falls behind, don't say we won't turn back to look for them.
We'll turn back and look for it. What do you think the chances are of finding it?
The group couldn't help but shudder as they looked at the scattered bones in the woods.
The village chief looked around at the crowd and continued,
"My second point is that everyone should hurry up and dress up their children and adults, so that we can be as dirty as the refugees outside."
The third and most important point I want to make is about Ning Bao, the little girl from the Mu family. Everyone knows she has some special abilities, and this little girl has helped us a lot along the way. I hope everyone can be grateful.
It's best if everyone refrains from discussing Ningbao's matter, and absolutely not from revealing it to anyone else. If I find out, it won't be as simple as just being kicked out of the village.
As you all probably know, we've killed people! Quite a few!
"I wouldn't mind killing a few more. If anyone can't control the mouths of their women and children, I don't mind helping them, after all, the dead keep the most secret!"
After the village chief finished speaking, he paused for a moment and looked coldly at everyone.
Just as everyone was starting to feel uneasy under his gaze, the village chief continued,
"I won't lie to you, those prey were entrusted to Ningbao for safekeeping. Ningbao has a place where things can be stored in a way that no one can see."
I believe that even if I didn't say it, some observant people would have noticed. Recently, everyone in the mountains has dug up some good stuff. If you trust me, please pack it up, mark it, and hand it to me. I've asked Ningbao to keep it for us until we reach Lanyu City, where we'll give it to you.”
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, everyone began to whisper among themselves. A short while later, several families arrived carrying small bundles.
"Village chief, this is all the valuables we have, plus two small ginseng roots and a lingzhi mushroom that my husband dug up in the mountains. We're entrusting them to you, village chief."
The village chief stared intently at them.
"Don't worry, we will return the same amount of your belongings to you. We will not open your bundles to look inside. I hope you will not give me false information, such as some items that are clearly only worth one or two taels of silver or a single ginseng."
