Chapter 113 Do the bandits still have a hideout?
Ning Bao nodded without hesitation.
"willing!
Village Chief, these wild boars are worth a lot of money, but we can't sell them in this desolate mountain forest.
Everyone has worked hard lately, and many people have been injured. We still have a long way to go.
I just happened to run into so many wild boars today, so I caught a few to add to everyone's meal. It's nothing special.
"But this is just one meal. From now on, our family will follow all the village rules. Consider this meal our family is treating our fellow villagers."
"Good! Good! Good!" The village chief said repeatedly with a face full of satisfaction.
"I thank Ningbao on behalf of the villagers. Leave things here to us. Ningbao, go back and check on your grandparents. They must be very worried about you."
Ning Bao agreed and then pulled Mu Chengye along with a group of older brothers to walk back.
Mu Dasheng, Li Guizhi, Shen Yuzhen, and Liu Qingru were all very excited to see Ningbao return, and some even shed tears.
Ningbao nestled obediently in Li Guizhi's arms and told everyone about what she had encountered in the past three days.
However, she only said what needed to be said, and didn't dare say anything too gory, for fear of scaring everyone.
After Ning Baogang finished being affectionate with his family, the village chief walked over with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, Ningbao and his brothers led their family's big gray donkey to graze, while Shen Yuzhen and Liu Qingru, the two sisters-in-law, went to start a fire to make pancakes and dry rations.
With Ningbao back, everyone was able to focus on their work without worry.
They're leaving tomorrow, so they need to prepare some easy-to-carry food to take with them.
When the village chief arrived, only Mu Dasheng and his wife, Li Guizhi, were sitting there.
The village chief walked over and sat down next to Mu Dasheng. He pondered for a moment and looked at Mu Dasheng.
"Brother Dasheng, sister-in-law, did Ningbao just tell you about the wild boar?"
That's right, the village chief came specifically to discuss the wild boar issue with them.
Although Ning Bao said that the wild boars would be shared with the villagers, even Shen Junshan and Mu Chunping knew about it.
However, the village chief still decided to make the trip.
After all, the current heads of Ningbao's household are Mu Dasheng and Li Guizhi, a married couple.
Mu Dasheng was very happy when he talked about this. He smiled at the village chief.
"Don't worry, Dajiang. Ningbao told us that we have no objections."
Ningbao caught the wild boar and said he would give it to the villagers.
Everyone has worked hard these past few days, so it's good that each family gets some meat to nourish themselves.
Li Guizhi, who was picking wild vegetables nearby, continued,
"Don't worry about the wild boar, Dajiang. Our family has no objection. Ningbao coming to our family is a happy event. It's like adding a new member to our family. We should treat our fellow villagers to a good meal to celebrate."
However, we don't have the means to hold a banquet while we're away from home, so we'll just consider the wild boar meat as our family's way of treating everyone to a feast.
"My Ningbao just likes to gnaw on pig's trotters, so just chop off a couple more for us later."
The village chief smiled.
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll take care of the pig's trotters."
The village chief knew that Ningbao liked to eat pig's feet. Mu Chunping brought back a total of thirty pig's feet and two pig's hind legs from the eight wild boars. If he hadn't declined, the last two pig's feet would have been theirs.
Li Guizhi didn't say anything when she saw the meat Mu Chunping brought back. She had just gone over to look at the eight wild boars, and they were all quite large.
Conservatively estimated, they could get at least 800 jin of net meat. Their village originally had 51 households, but after Mu Youcai divided his family, there was one more household, making it 52 households. So, each household should get 15 jin, which shouldn't be a problem.
15 jin of meat is quite a lot, enough for the family to have two good meals. The wild boar was brought back by their granddaughter, so it's reasonable for their family to get a larger share.
Li Guizhi quickly called Shen Yuzhen and Liu Qingru over to prepare the pig's trotters, as she planned to stew them.
Her son Ningbao has a big appetite and loves to eat pig's feet. She'll have Ningbao put all the pig's feet into a storage talisman so he can take one out and gnaw on it whenever he's hungry.
That evening, everyone in Shanglin Village ate wild boar meat. After dinner, the village chief strolled over and chatted with Mu Dasheng.
Ningbao nestled in Mu Dasheng's arms, her little face resting on her hands, and listened quietly to their conversation.
