Chapter 155 Zhao Juhua's Test

Ning Bao thought for a moment and continued,

"These refugees were originally ordinary people. They were forced into becoming refugees. They could have been simple and honest people."

You must not kill these people. This is different from the killing you did in the army. Killing in the army was a meritorious deed, but this will diminish your merit. So you must not do it.

Can…………"

Ning Bao paused for a moment, then continued, her face full of hesitation.

"But I also want you to look after my older brother, my cousin, my father, and my uncle..."

Before Ning Bao could finish speaking, Zhou Rongzhang said loudly,

“No problem, these are minor matters. Leave them to me and you can go about your business.” Ning Bao was a little hesitant, but Zhou Rongzhang agreed without hesitation.

Seeing Zhou Rongzhang float to Mu Chunping's side, Ning Bao felt much more at ease.

She jumped onto the carriage and sat next to Mu Chengju, who was driving the carriage from the shaft. At this moment, they were both invisible; others could not see them, but they could see others.

Mu Chengju frowned as he looked at the chaotic crowd around him.

"Ningbao, there are so many people, our carriage can't possibly get through. What should we do?"

"Smack!"

Ning Bao slapped her forehead in frustration. She had forgotten! She had only focused on becoming invisible and forgotten that even when invisible, they were still living beings and could not move freely through walls like spirits.

Ning Bao gripped the few flying talismans in her hand, steeled her resolve, and decided to just use them since she had them. She decided to let today pass first and deal with the rest later.

Ning Bao quickly took out two flying talismans, sticking one on Chi Xiao's body. Ning Bao shouted something into the carriage.

"Sit still!"

Then quickly recite the incantation...

Using a flying talisman, Ning Bao could still sense that there were many people around them, even though it was night.

The more she looked, the more alarmed she became, and she couldn't help but speed up.

She flew south along the official road for a full fifty kilometers before stopping.

This place is close to Lanyu City, which will be the first major city they encounter after leaving the border.

It was also the place where Village Chief Lin wanted to settle down. Although Ning Bao had no intention of settling down in Lanyu City, she did have a plan to go to Lanyu City to buy cinnabar and yellow paper.

Ning Bao found a secluded spot nestled against the mountains and beside a stream not far from Lanyu City and stopped there.

"Grandpa and Grandma... this place is very close to Lanyu City. You wait here for me. I need to go back and meet Dad and Uncle."

This place is a hundred miles from our previous camp. We don't know if we can make it here tomorrow. If we can't, don't worry, just wait here. Don't worry, I will definitely come back to find you.

As for the invisibility talismans on you, for safety reasons I will not remove them for now. If I do not return in three days, the talismans will automatically become invalid. Don't worry, I will try my best to return within three days.

I checked around here and there's no danger, so I've left you some food, drinks, and supplies..."

As Ningbao spoke, she kept taking things out, including pots and pans, and also gave sewing baskets to Li Guizhi, Shen Yuzhen, and Liu Qingru so they could do some needlework to pass the time.

I left some books suitable for my older brothers...

Although Ning Bao was young, she was always meticulous in everything she did. After finishing her work, she didn't waste any time and took out the last flying talisman, soaring into the air under the watchful eyes of Mu Dasheng and the others...

On the other side, as soon as Ning Bao and the others left, the refugees on the outskirts started to move.

Zhao Juhua held her eldest grandson tightly as she strained to see through the crowd. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Mu Chengrong and ran to Mu Chunping.

"Chunping, where's Ningbao? Where's your wife? Where are your parents? I can't find them."

Mu Chunping paused for a moment,

"Hmm, my dad and the others are with Ningbao. They should be retreating to the outer area. Is there something you need them for?"

Zhao Juhua gave an awkward laugh.

"Hehe, I'm not saying we're family. In times of great difficulty, we should help each other out. Since you have many children, we can take care of them if we stay by your side."

Zhao Juhua would never say that she only wanted to stay by Ning Bao's side for a stable life.

She could tell that the little girl was incredibly clever, and that staying by her side would surely bring good fortune.

Unfortunately, she seemed to be a step too late. Although Zhao Juhua had changed a lot recently, Mu Chunping still harbored a lingering fear of her. He didn't directly tell her that Ning Bao and the others had already left. He watched the chaotic crowd...

"Hmm, fighting has broken out on the outskirts, please be careful and try not to get separated from your family."

Those refugees are after food. Seeing we have no food, they probably won't fight us too fiercely. You should stay with Chengrong and the villagers. If you get separated from everyone, remember to head south to Lanyu City. The village chief said everyone will reunite there.
