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 94 Lin Jianfei Gets Beaten
The arrival of Ning Bao instantly dispelled Mu Dasheng's negative emotions, and the camp became lively.
Mu Cheng'an carried the fish he caught today, while Mu Chengye, Mu Chengju, Chen Sikang, and the others carried the prey that Mu Chunping, Shen Junshan, and the others had brought back today.
Mu Chengye shouted excitedly from a distance.
"Grandpa, Grandma, look, my dad and the others brought back a lot of game today. My little sister says she wants to eat meat today."
Standing next to Mu Dasheng, Ning Bao nodded quickly.
"Mmm, we're having meat today."
By this time, everyone in the camp had caught their prey, and they were all very excited. The children went to gather firewood, and the women started to cook the meat in a pot.
Mu Dasheng stared in surprise at the prey in their hands.
"Cheng'an, what's going on? How come there are so many prey today?"
After finishing speaking, Mu Dasheng quickly pulled Ningbao aside and carefully checked her over. He discovered that his little granddaughter was not only unharmed, but her clothes were also covered in a sweet fruity scent and the aroma of steamed buns, mantou, and fried dough...
Mu Cheng'an glanced at Ning Bao, and seeing that she didn't object, he recounted everything that had happened in the mountains that day.
Everyone was very worried when they heard that they had seen ghosts in broad daylight. Actually, Ningbao initially thought of not telling her family.
After all, the elderly are very superstitious about things like ghosts and spirits, and Ningbao didn't want her grandparents to worry because they were old and in poor health.
But then I thought, since each family sent someone into the mountains today, there are dozens of people in total. Someone will definitely tell them what happened in the mountains. Rather than letting my grandparents hear from others and then come over to ask, it's better to tell them directly.
At this moment, Lin Jianfei was also telling his family about what happened that day. Lin Jianfei's wife, Huang Xiaying, looked at Lin Jianfei in shock.
"What did you say, my husband? You've been targeted by a female ghost?"
Lin Jianfei, afraid that his wife would be angry, quickly said...
"Don't worry, my wife, I didn't agree to her request. I told her that I only have you in this life, and whether I am a human or a ghost, I will only have you."
Lin Jianfei had thought that his heartfelt declaration of loyalty would surely move his wife to tears, and perhaps even lead to some affectionate embraces. But he never expected…
"Slap!" Huang Xiaying excitedly slapped Lin Jianfei on the back.
"Wow! My eye for talent is amazing!"
I never expected that the man I had my eye on would be chosen by a ghost. It seems that ghost has good taste.
My love, I've never seen a ghost before. I've heard that ghosts are eight feet tall and have ghostly faces. Tell me, what does the female ghost who has taken a fancy to you look like?
Is it incredibly beautiful or incredibly frightening?
Lin Jianfei glanced at his family and found that not only his wife was looking at him with curiosity, but his parents and children were also looking at him with curiosity.
He said in a deep, very depressed voice,
"You're all so curious about the female ghost, aren't you worried about me at all?"
"Slap!" Lin Jianfei received another slap on the back from his mother.
"What's there to worry about? Ningbao is here, isn't she? As long as Ningbao takes action, it's okay to take down not just one female ghost, but a whole group of them."
The village chief responded,
"Yes, with Ningbao around, we're not afraid of anything."
Don't let Ningbao's young age fool you; she's incredibly talented.
Lin Dongyang and Lin Jiayu nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, Ning Bao is extremely amazing."
Huang Xiaying then whispered,
"By the way, Ningbao saved my husband, shouldn't we give her something to thank her?"
The village chief frowned.
"We really should thank them. Although we are very relieved, Jianfei still said it was a very dangerous situation. If it weren't for Ning Bao, Jianfei wouldn't have survived."
Ning Bao is Jianfei's savior, so gratitude is definitely due.
But what should I send them? They definitely won't accept grain, and my family doesn't have much grain left.
I think Chunping and the others brought back quite a lot of the game they divided up today. Even if we send it to them, they won't accept it.
How about this? It's getting cold soon. I saw Ning Bao didn't even bring a coat when she came. Chunping's family doesn't have a little girl, so they definitely don't have any winter clothes.
"Jianfei's wife, why don't you make Ningbao a cotton-padded coat?"
"I think it's a good idea," the village chief's wife nodded in agreement.
"We happen to have some cotton at home. We felt it was a bit too little to make a cotton-padded coat for Jiayu, but it should be just right for Ningbao."
However, we don't have any new fabric at home. Jianfei, why don't you see if Jiayu has any outer garments that are too small, and just make a cotton-padded coat for Ningbao?
Huang Xiaying nodded.
"Okay, Mother, I'll go find them right away. I remember there are a few clothes that Jiayu has worn only a few times but they've already outgrown and still look brand new. But wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to use old fabric on Jiayu?"
The village chief's wife shook her head.
