Chapter 41 Ning Bao is going too

Even if they've separated now, all that's left are the couple and their three daughters. Mu Youcai shook his head helplessly.

Let's talk about the son later. Right now, he needs to think about how to keep the family alive.

Next door, Ningbao was sitting on a cart, her little face resting on her hands, while her family was busy setting up camp.

Unable to help and only causing trouble, she was placed on a cart and sat with Mu Dasheng.

She glanced at the busy crowd, then suddenly and nimbly climbed off the cart and said something to Mu Dasheng on the cart.

"Grandpa, I'm going to ask the village chief something, I'll be right back."

Mu Dasheng nodded indulgently.

"Okay, slow down."

Ning Bao gave a perfunctory reply and ran straight to the village chief.

The village chief was sitting to one side, staring blankly at the direction of the mountains.

Ning Bao sat down next to him, following the village chief's gaze.

"Village Chief, do you think my father and the others will be able to find water today?"

"Sigh!" The village chief sighed.

"This place is not too far from our hometown. We haven't seen any water sources along the way. Moreover, the trees here are not lush, and most of them are already withered, not to mention the crops."

This shows that the drought here is no worse than in my hometown, and I estimate that there is little chance of finding a water source nearby.

However, we can't just give up looking. Only by making an effort to look will we have a chance. How can we have a chance if we don't look?

There are mountains here, and if you're lucky, you might find a mountain spring. It would be even better if you could find some wild mountain produce or fruits.

Sigh! I hope I'll have good luck today!

"Village Chief, I'm having a lucky day, why don't I go with you?"

The village chief smiled as he looked at Ning Bao.

"Oh, can our Ningbao predict today's fortune?" the village chief asked, glancing around before lowering his voice.

"Ningbao, I heard from your Uncle Jianfei that you were the one who found your Sister Zhaodi last night. Is that true?"

Ning Bao nodded.

"Well, I guess so. I'm the most accurate fortune teller in Sanqing Mountain, so finding someone is very easy for me."

The village chief paused, frowned, and looked at Ning Bao.

“Girl, I’ve heard from the old folks in the village that highly skilled fortune tellers don’t easily give readings for others, because it’s said that it will shorten their lifespan.”

Will having your fortune told harm your health?

If it's harmful to your health, then you shouldn't do it anymore?

Fortune telling is a matter of prying into the secrets of heaven, and as the saying goes, revealing heavenly secrets will be punished by lightning.

Village Chief Lin looked at Ning Bao with a worried expression.

"Girl, you're still young. Let's not do things that will get you struck by lightning."

The Mu family is nice; they all like little girls, and they'll definitely raise you well. So please don't consult fortune tellers anymore.

Tears welled up in Ning Bao's eyes, but she forced them back. She felt like crying today.

But tears are made of water, and everyone is short of water right now, so she can't waste water.

So she forced back the tears that were about to fall.

She was suddenly very touched that everyone cared about her safety, just like her fellow disciples on the mountain used to care about her.

She had eighty-one senior brothers, but after they all completed their studies and left the mountain, fewer people cared about her.

Now that people care about her again, Ningbao calmed herself down.

"Don't worry, Village Chief, my divination won't harm your health, and it's actually quite effective. Take me with you; who knows, we might actually find water!"

The village chief hesitated for a moment,

"Alright then, but you have to talk to your grandparents yourself. You can only go if they agree. If they don't agree, you can't go."

"Okay, don't worry, Village Chief, I'll talk to Grandpa and Grandma properly." Ningbao was in a good mood and skipped off to find Mu Dasheng.
