Chapter 112 Inviting the Entire Village to a Feast
Mu Chengye straightened his vest and said with a forced smile,
"Grandma, Chengye is at fault."
But Ningbao is in danger, and I want to save her.
Li Guizhi rubbed Mu Chengye's head.
“I know you’re worried about Ning Bao, but if you want to save her, you need to understand your own capabilities.”
"How many moves do you think you could last against a wild boar if you encountered one?"
"I…………"
Li Guizhi glared at Mu Chengye and continued...
"Before doing anything, you must carefully consider your own abilities. You are only five years old today. No matter what happens at home, you don't need to take the lead. What you need to do now is to grow up safely, healthily, and well."
When you grow up and are capable, that's when you should stand up and protect your family. Right now, you're a little too big for that, so don't cause trouble. Go stay by your grandpa's side and play with him. Your grandpa is worried that Ningbao can't walk anymore, and he must be very anxious.
Go and chat with your grandpa to cheer him up and distract him; that would be a great achievement.
At Li Guizhi's urging, Mu Chengye put down the stick and went to chat with his grandfather.
Ningbao and Lingling chatted happily all the way. Ningbao was overjoyed at the prospect of seeing her family soon. Just as she was about to sit up from Lingling's back, a series of hurried footsteps approached.
"Ning Bao!"
"Ning Bao!"
Mu Chunping looked at Ning Bao excitedly, while Shen Junshan picked up a machete and slashed at the wild boar following behind Ning Bao.
In the blink of an eye, just as Shen Junshan's wood-chopping knife was about to fall...
"Father, Uncle, are you going to slaughter a pig here?"
Seeing Mu Chunping and Shen Junshan so happy, Ning Bao nimbly jumped off Lingling's back, ran over joyfully to give Shen Junshan a hug, and then suddenly jumped into Mu Chunping's arms.
"Dad, are you and Uncle here to pick me up?"
How did you know I was back?
Mu Chunping held his little daughter in his arms, cupped her tiny face, and examined her carefully.
"Ningbao, how are you? Are you hurt? Were you scared?"
Ning Bao shook her head and happily spun around in front of Mu Chunping.
"Dad, look, I'm not injured. I'm perfectly fine, not a single hair is missing, and I might even have gained a few pounds."
At this moment, they realized that Ningbao was really alright. Shen Junshan pointed to the few wild boars standing obediently behind Lingling.
"Ningbao, what's going on with these wild boars?"
Ning Bao walked up to the wild boars, patted the lead one, and looked excitedly at Shen Junshan.
"Uncle, how are they? Aren't these wild boars fat enough?"
I caught these on my way back. Many of my uncles were injured fighting bandits, so these wild boars will help improve our meals and provide some nutrition.
"You caught them?" Mu Chunping looked at the wild boars standing there, waiting for Ning Bao's reprimand, in surprise.
Are wild boars all so docile and well-behaved nowadays?
I seem to remember that in the past, when we caught a wild boar, we had to beat it to death and knock it unconscious before it would give up and let us slaughter it.
But Ningbao caught this wild boar as if it were standing in line waiting to be slaughtered.
Ningbao looked at her father with surprise and delight.
"Dad, you guessed right. These wild boars really are lining up to be slaughtered."
Mu Chunping: "…………"
Shen Junshan: "…………"
"Ning Bao!"
"Ning Bao!"
"younger sister!"
…………
Mu Cheng'an pondered for a moment, and then his brothers rushed over. They surrounded Ning Bao and asked her carefully. They were relieved to find out that Ning Bao was not injured.
Seeing how worried her father, uncles, and brothers looked at her, Ningbao suddenly realized that her grandparents, mother, and aunt must also be very worried about her.
So she ran up to Shen Junshan and Mu Chunping.
"Dad, Uncle, I'll leave these wild boars to you. I'll go back to see Grandpa and call the village chief over."
After Ningbao finished speaking, she took Lingling and ran off with her brothers.
Mu Chunping and Shen Junshan were a little bewildered as they looked at the seven or eight wild boars standing there in neat rows.
Is this wild boar just obediently waiting to die?
Shen Junshan tentatively raised the machete in his hand towards the first wild boar.
Shen Junshan thought the wild boar would move aside, but to his surprise, the wild boar not only didn't move aside but also obediently lay on the ground and stretched its neck towards Shen Junshan.
The wild boar lying on the ground glanced at Shen Junshan, as if to say:
Hurry up and get started! There are other pigs waiting behind.
Ningbao was surrounded by her brothers as she walked towards the camp.
They had only taken a few steps when they saw Lin Jianfei leading the village's able-bodied men, each carrying sticks, walking towards them.
They were all very happy to see Ningbao, and when they heard that Ningbao had brought back several wild boars to improve everyone's meals, they all got excited.
The village chief and others at the camp heard the commotion and all ran over to see what was going on.
Mu Chengye, who had been waiting anxiously, also came over to inquire about the situation with Mu Dasheng's permission.
When he saw Ningbao, he ran over excitedly. The village chief was also very excited when he heard about the wild boar.
The village chief pulled Ningbao aside and whispered,
"Girl, these wild boars are quite large and should be worth a lot of money. Are you really willing to give them away for everyone to eat?"
