Today is the first day of our journey. Mu Chunping is leading the way, Shen Junshan is pulling the cart that Mu Dasheng is sitting on, and the women and older children are all walking, carrying as much luggage as they can carry.

The procession consisted of hundreds of men, women, and children. Even though everyone was in low spirits, it wasn't exactly quiet.

So apart from Mu Chengye and Lingmao, no one on the cart noticed that Mu Dasheng was in a bad situation.

However, Mu Chengye was only five years old. He could only see that his grandfather was talking and then fell asleep.

He had no idea that his grandfather was going through a life-or-death ordeal.

He didn't know, but the spirit cat did. When the spirit cat saw Mu Dasheng's condition and the thing that was sucking his life force from his forehead, it quickly tugged at Lingbao's clothes.

It could have solved this problem, but unfortunately its spiritual energy hadn't returned yet, so it could only call its greedy and sleepy little master.

Ningbao, who was dreaming of having a lavish meal, felt someone tugging at her clothes and angrily opened her eyes.

When she saw that the one pulling her was the strange cat she had brought from the underworld, she was about to get angry when she saw the strange cat raise one of its front paws and point it at Mu Dasheng.

Upon seeing Mu Dasheng's condition, Ning Bao immediately stood up. Because the cart was moving, Shen Junshan, who was pulling the cart, sensed Ning Bao's movement immediately.

Shen Junshan was quite frightened when he saw Ning Bao stand up. However, several hundred people from Linshang Village were moving forward, and the Mu family was right in the middle of the procession. They couldn't stop at all, because if they stopped, the carts behind them wouldn't be able to pass.

As Shen Junshan pulled the cart, he nervously glanced at Ning Bao.

"Ningbao, sit down quickly so you don't fall."

Ning Bao took a large step to Mu Dasheng's side and said to Shen Junshan.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm fine. It's Grandpa. He had something unclean on his head, so I just scratched it off for him. Uncle, don't worry, just be careful pulling the cart. I know kung fu, so I'm very steady on my feet."

Although Ningbao is only three and a half years old, she is very smart from a young age. As soon as she could sit up, she could hold a pen and draw simple talismans.

She learns things very quickly. When she was bored, she learned some of the skills that all her fellow disciples in the Taoist temple were good at. However, she was most proficient in talismanic metaphysics.

She was very intelligent from a young age, not only walking and talking early, but now at just three and a half years old, she speaks fluently and clearly like a little adult.

Shen Junshan and Ning Bao hadn't known each other for long, and Ning Bao had fallen asleep shortly after getting on the cart. So, Shen Junshan was quite shocked to hear Ning Bao say these words.

He gave Ningbao an approving look:

What a clever and intelligent little girl! I'd love to have a daughter like her too.

Unfortunately, her brother-in-law beat her to it, but that's alright. Even if she can't be his daughter, being his niece is still nice.

As the saying goes: Mother's brother is the greatest!

He was her only maternal uncle, and his status was not much lower than that of Mu Chunping, her father.

After sighing, Shen Junshan went back to pulling the cart seriously. He didn't take Ning Bao's words to heart, thinking that the "dirty things" Ning Bao mentioned were just ordinary dirty things.

Little did he know that it was not just any dirty thing, but a chronically ill person.

Just now, following the spirit cat's paw, the first thing Ningbao saw was the sickly ghost clinging to her grandfather, sucking away his life force.

Previously, Mu Dasheng also had a ghost on him, but that one was relatively ordinary and she simply slapped it away.

But this one wouldn't do. Ning Bao quickly reached into the small, tattered bag she was carrying and, using the bag as cover, took out a talisman from her storage talisman and slapped it directly at the sickly ghost's vital point.

The talisman turned to ashes the moment it touched the sickly ghost, and the life force it had been absorbing from the ghost vanished instantly.
