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 93 Mu Dasheng, who wanted to commit suicide
Village chief Lin Dajiang nodded.
"Yes, Lanyu City is the closest major city to the border, and its customs and culture should be most similar to those of our hometown."
If we can settle down there, we'll be closer to our hometown. After all, our ancestral graves are still in the north, and we'll definitely go back to visit them once we're settled.
Mu Dasheng wholeheartedly agreed with Lin Dajiang's words.
"You're right, Lanyu City is indeed a good choice."
"But everyone in the entire northwest frontier has fled, and there must be many others who share our thoughts. I just don't know if Lanyu City can accommodate so many people?"
The two elderly people were somewhat melancholy; surviving in such chaotic times was truly not easy.
"She's back! My sister's back!"
Suddenly, Mu Chengye's excited shout interrupted the two elderly people's thoughts.
Upon hearing Mu Chengye say that Ningbao had returned, the village chief immediately stood up.
"Brother Dasheng, we'll discuss this matter later. I'll probably go see the kids when they get back, so don't worry."
After finishing his speech, the village chief quickly walked towards the bustling crowd.
Mu Dasheng looked at his leg with a slightly disappointed expression and sighed.
This scene was witnessed by Li Guizhi, who was walking over with a sewing basket.
Li Guizhi glared at her husband.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so worried again? Are you still worrying about whether your leg is a burden to us?"
Mu Dasheng looked at his wife with a somber expression.
"Guizhi, you've worked so hard all these years."
If my legs were healthy, things would be much easier for my family. I... am indeed a burden to you all..."
Li Guizhi put down her sewing basket, squatted down in front of her husband, and looked at him intently.
"Listen up, old man! You've never been a burden to us! You've always been our pillar of support!"
"Grandpa, Grandma, Ningbao's back!" Ningbao came running back with her short legs. She immediately noticed that the two elderly people were in a bad mood, but without asking any questions, she went straight to Li Guizhi and Mu Dasheng.
"Grandpa and Grandma, what are you doing? Is Grandpa's leg hurting again?"
Come on, Ningbao, help Grandpa snoring!
As Ningbao spoke, she reached out her chubby little hand and gently rubbed Mu Dasheng's calf. Touching Mu Dasheng's thin calves, Ningbao's eyes filled with heartache.
"Grandpa's leg must have been in a lot of pain back then, and he must be very sad now that he can't walk."
"But Grandpa, don't worry. Once we've settled down, I'll write to my eldest brother. He's an exceptionally skilled doctor, and he'll definitely cure you."
Mu Dasheng, who was originally in a low mood, immediately felt much better when he saw his granddaughter. Now that he had a granddaughter, he couldn't let his mind wander.
He must live well; regardless of whether his leg recovers or not, he cannot easily give up on life…
Ning Bao felt much more at ease when she sensed the disappearance of the negative, deathly aura emanating from her grandfather. Just now, she had clearly felt that her grandfather had thoughts of suicide.
She had just checked and there were no negative spirits around, so it seemed that the negative emotions were emanating from his grandfather himself.
Ning Bao regretted once again that she hadn't studied medicine properly, but she secretly resolved that she must find her senior brother to personally treat her grandfather's leg in the future.
Sigh! I just wonder where his senior brother is now.
"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!"
At this moment, two fast horses were galloping on an official road when suddenly the young master leading the horse sneezed several times. He quickly pulled the horse to a stop.
The guard following behind him also stopped immediately, looking nervously at his master.
"Master, have you caught a cold? Why don't we stop and rest for a while?"
Bai Ming shook his head.
"It's alright, I didn't catch a cold. Maybe it's just that my junior sister is thinking of me."
There's a severe drought in the border region; I wonder how she and her master are doing?
"Master, your master and junior sister are both capable people, they certainly won't sit idly by and wait for their doom." Bai Dong was also a little worried when talking about his master's cute junior sister.
Bai Ming said worriedly,
"I actually hope they can stay on Mount Sanqing."
After all, the Taoist temple was well-stocked with supplies, enough for Master, Ningbao, and Elder Fan to live on for a while.
People across the entire border region are fleeing famine; I've heard that corpses litter the fields and cannibalism has already occurred.
Ning Bao has that special ability. What will happen to her, a little child, when there are spirits everywhere?
As the senior disciple, I should have rushed there immediately, but I…”
“Master, you must have been delayed by something. I believe that the Taoist priest and Miss Ningbao will be alright.”
"Let's hurry on our way; the sooner we get there, the sooner we can see them."
After finishing his sentence, Bai Ming immediately mounted his horse and galloped away...
