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 55 Trading an egg for a donkey is a good deal
"Wolves? You encountered wolves today?" The village chief and Mu Cheng'an asked Ning Bao in unison.
The village chief and Mu Cheng'an quickly checked Ning Bao for any injuries.
"Village Chief, Ningbao isn't hurt. Although she encountered wolves today, she found water..."
The village chief was overjoyed to hear that water had been found...
"Village chief, the bad guys are coming! Ten in that direction, ten in that direction, and there are some in that direction too..."
Upon hearing that there were bad guys, the village chief and Mu Cheng'an simultaneously stood in front of Ning Bao.
"Cheng'an, you should take Ningbao back quickly, it's not safe here."
Just as Mu Cheng'an and the village chief were getting anxious, Ning Bao received a message from Lingling.
"Village Chief, four groups of bad guys have been arrested, forty in total, and ten more are at the camp next door."
Upon hearing that the person had been caught, the village chief rushed off to deal with the situation.
After the village chief left, only Lin Hai, Mu Cheng'an, and the other two who had already returned remained.
Ning Bao glanced at the camp opposite, then sneakily leaned close to Mu Cheng'an and whispered,
"Brother, there's a mess over there right now. Why don't we go over and take a look? Maybe we can find something good to pick up."
Mu Cheng'an shook his head without even thinking.
"No, that's too dangerous."
Ningbao tugged at Mu Cheng'an's arm and said coquettishly,
"Big brother... there are only ten of them, not enough for me to practice my punches. Besides, we're not going to rescue people, we're going to collect supplies."
As Ning Bao spoke, she took out two talismans, stuck one on her forehead, and chanted a spell. Instantly, she disappeared from Mu Cheng'an's sight...
Upon seeing Ning Bao disappear, Mu Cheng'an felt a pang of panic.
"Brother, don't worry, I just used an invisibility talisman. Invisibility talismans are very difficult to draw, and I only drew a few but was reluctant to use them. Today, they came in handy."
"Come on, brother, bend down, I'll put one on for you too. We'll go together later, otherwise you won't feel comfortable letting me go alone."
Mu Cheng'an squatted down and suddenly felt a chubby little hand touch his forehead. He heard Ning Bao recite a spell, and in a flash, he saw Ning Bao.
He stared blankly at his younger sister.
"Ningbao, can't others really see us?"
Ningbao was showing off with a straight face.
"Of course, I'm a very skilled talisman master. My master is a little genius, and a self-taught one at that. He's the kind of genius that even the founding masters would be eager to give him food to eat."
Looking at Ning Bao's smug face, Mu Cheng'an couldn't help but pinch her little cheek.
"Let's go check out the other side."
...
Ning Bao and Mu Cheng'an, having acquired invisibility talismans, simply swaggered towards the opposite camp, which was already in complete disarray.
The refugees who had broken in had been knocked unconscious by Lingling, but Ningbao was unaware that it was Lingling who had knocked them out.
She looked at the displaced people lying on the ground, still very puzzled.
"Brother, look, all these refugees have been defeated. It seems this family has some experts among them."
"Come on, let's go see if we can sneak in some good stuff in the chaos."
Ning Bao really did pick things up; she took advantage of Mu Cheng'an's inattention and put a lot of good things into her storage talisman.
Suddenly she saw a skinny donkey...
want to!
I really want it!
Her grandfather had difficulty walking, and the family urgently needed a livestock that could pull a cart.
Donkeys are the best choice; they are easy to raise and not delicate, and they can pull carts and travel on mountain roads, making them the most suitable for their current use.
However, the inconspicuous dead objects she had collected at other people's camps before seemed inappropriate to simply make a donkey disappear into thin air.
Just as Ning Bao was in a dilemma, she saw a chubby little boy pop out from the side.
Ning Bao whispered something to Mu Cheng'an, then flicked a talisman onto the chubby boy.
The chubby boy was stunned for a moment when he saw the little girl suddenly appear.
"Who are you? What are you doing at our campsite?"
Ning Bao didn't hide anything and pointed directly to the opposite camp.
"I came from the other side."
Although Ningbao is young, she has never liked to procrastinate. She took out a hard-boiled egg from her bag. Her grandmother had given it to her before she went into the mountains that morning, and she hadn't had time to eat it yet.
Ningbao waved the egg in front of the chubby boy.
Would you like some eggs?
The chubby boy's family used to be a wealthy household in a small local town, considered local landlords and gentry, but not a powerful or wealthy family.
Before the natural disaster, the chubby boy didn't care about things like boiled eggs, but now, let alone eggs, they can't even get enough cornbread to eat at home.
Even though the chubby boy is pampered at home, he hasn't eaten eggs in a long time, and now his mouth is watering at the sight of them.
He reached out to grab the egg from Ning Bao's hand, but Ning Bao dodged it with lightning speed.
"If you want to eat eggs, it's easy to exchange them for something else."
The chubby boy paused for a moment, then said with a proud expression,
"Sure, take whatever you want. Everything in this camp belongs to our family."
Ningbao pointed her chubby little hand at the donkey without any hesitation.
"I want it.
"Trading a donkey for an egg, you've made a profit!"
