Chapter 114 Deathly Calamity? Extreme Misfortune
The village chief sighed.
"Everyone's injuries have mostly healed, and we'll definitely be continuing our journey tomorrow."
Mu Dasheng glanced at the sky.
"It's fine to set off earlier, because we haven't encountered any rainy days since we came out during the drought, but I feel that today is a little different."
My legs have felt cold and painful all day today. Ever since I got injured, my legs get this feeling whenever it's cloudy or rainy.
The village chief was startled.
"Brother Dasheng, do you mean it'll rain in the next few days?"
Mu Dasheng nodded seriously.
"Yes, based on my past experience, this rain will last no more than three days, and at the earliest tomorrow night."
So we definitely need to leave here tomorrow, and it would be best to find a place where we can take shelter from the rain.
It's late autumn now; if you get caught in the rain, you're bound to catch a cold..."
Ning Bao, nestled in Mu Dasheng's arms, frowned and took out her little tortoise shell and compass, fiddling with them.
The village chief's expression also became serious after hearing Mu Dasheng's words.
"I originally planned to travel tomorrow to stay away from the bandits' lair, but I didn't expect it to turn into a trip to avoid the rain."
But finding a place to shelter from the rain in this forest isn't easy..."
After the divination, Ning Bao, who had been frowning, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Village Chief, you just mentioned a bandit's den? Do bandits have dens? Are you referring to the bandits we encountered before?"
The village chief nodded.
"Yes, it was that group of bandits."
Yesterday, our men spotted strangers in the woods and followed them. They discovered that the bandits we encountered that day lived in a cave not far from here on the mountain behind us.
"A cave?" Ningbao looked at the village chief with surprise.
"Village Chief, do you mean the bandits live in caves?"
The village chief was taken aback. "That's right, they were looking for a place to take shelter from the rain, and the bandits just happened to have a cave."
But that cave belonged to bandits; it seemed a bit strange that they would run to their deaths while trying to hide there.
Ning Bao became very excited upon hearing about the bandit's den. She had previously calculated that she was destined to be connected with the bandit's den and would make a fortune, but she had forgotten about it because she was busy dealing with the old monster.
She thought she was going to miss out on a windfall, but the opportunity came unexpectedly.
Ning Bao whispered slyly,
"Village Chief, we should have dealt with those bandits most of the time. Why don't we go to their cave to take shelter from the rain?"
Look, even if our village of several hundred people sets off tomorrow, we might not be able to find a suitable place to shelter from the rain. The rain in late autumn is very cold, and if we get caught in the rain, we'll definitely catch a cold.
Catching a cold at this time is not a good thing.
The village chief hesitated. He was just an ordinary old man from the countryside, and he was always afraid of bandits. If he encountered them, he would definitely try to avoid them.
The village chief is now really torn about asking him to voluntarily go and fight with the bandits for a place to stay.
“Ningbao, that’s a bandit’s den…”
Ning Bao looked at the village chief with a faint smile.
“Village Chief, we won’t feel guilty if we rob a bandit’s den.”
The village chief thought about it carefully.
"Alright, then let's go to the bandits' den. How will we rob them? When will we go? Ningbao, do you have any plans? Tell me."
Upon hearing that the village chief had agreed, Ningbao was even more excited.
"Village Chief, I think we should first send someone to the bandit's den to find out what's going on. If possible, we can directly eliminate or control the people in the bandit's den."
The selection of this person should not be too large; ideally, they should be skilled in martial arts, agile, and capable of both strategic maneuvering and direct combat.
The village chief raised an eyebrow and glanced at Mu Dasheng.
"Ningbao, do you want to go to the bandits' den?"
"No, I disagree! It's too dangerous!"
Mu Dasheng looked at his little granddaughter,
"Ningbao, who do you think would be more suitable to go?"
Ningbao patted her little chest excitedly.
"Grandpa, of course I'll go. You see, I'm small, so I can hide anywhere. Hehe, I'm quite nimble."
Furthermore, I am capable of both yin and yang, divination, and both literary and martial arts. If you are still worried, you can have my uncle come with me.”
