"Wife, this is indeed blood..."
Upon hearing her husband say that Ningbao's clothes were stained with blood, Shen Yuzhen immediately picked up the sleeping Ningbao in a panic.
"Why is there blood on Ningbao's clothes? Is she injured?"
After being thoroughly examined by her mother, Ningbao finally woke up, rubbing her eyes. She looked sleepily at Shen Yuzhen, who was groping her.
"Mother!"
"Ningbao is awake. It's my fault for waking you up."
Ningbao shook her head and snuggled into Shen Yuzhen's arms, acting coquettishly.
"It wasn't Mother who woke up, Ningbao woke up on her own."
Shen Yuzhen checked Ningbao up and down several times before finally confirming that Ningbao was not injured.
After putting on the clean clothes prepared by her mother, Ningbao skipped and hopped to Li Guizhi's side to eat breakfast.
Shen Yuzhen wanted to ask Ning Bao where the blood on her clothes came from, but Mu Chunping stopped her.
"Wife, you know how capable our daughter is. She definitely took action when we went to the bandits' den last night. As long as she wasn't hurt, nothing else matters."
Shen Yuzhen pondered for a moment,
"But she's so young, I don't want her to see the bloody side, I'm afraid she'll be scared."
Shen Yuzhen's face was filled with sadness, and she couldn't help but fall into doubt. When she was a child, she was also a carefree little girl, living happily under the care of her parents and brothers every day.
However, due to that tragedy, their entire family was wiped out, and only she and her brother escaped with the help of a loyal servant, out of more than a hundred family members.
As a child, she witnessed firsthand the scene of her relatives' heads falling to the ground and blood flowing like a river.
That terrifying image kept haunting her mind, and she dreamed about it countless times.
Ningbao is still young, and all she wanted was for her to grow up carefree, but unfortunately...
"Honey, don't worry. Ningbao isn't an ordinary child. She's very capable, so she'll have to shoulder a lot more responsibilities than others."
The path she chooses to take is destined to be different from that of ordinary people. We can't help her or stop her; we can only support her silently from behind.

On the other side, when Ningbao went there, all her brothers were sitting together eating.
Five-year-old Mu Chengye stirred the wild vegetable porridge in his bowl intermittently.
Ning Bao, seeing that Mu Chengye was in low spirits, couldn't help but ask,
"Fifth Brother, what's wrong? You look unhappy. Did someone bully you? Or are you not feeling well?"
As Ningbao spoke, she reached out her chubby little hand and touched his forehead.
"Isn't it hot?"
Mu Chengye looked at his younger sister with a sullen expression.
"Ningbao, the village chief said that after we arrive at the bandit's den today, we'll go hunting in the mountains. My older brother and cousin can go, but we younger ones can't."
Ningbao, when will I grow up to be as big as my older brother?
Upon hearing Mu Chengye's question, Ning Bao solemnly counted on her fingers.
“Your older cousin is 12, your eldest brother is 11, and you are only 5. In six or seven years, you will be the same age as them.”
Looking at his adorable younger sister earnestly doing math, Mu Chengye couldn't help but sigh. Ah! It seems this isn't really a matter of age.
To put it bluntly, it's because he's incompetent. Look at Ningbao, who's only three and a half years old, he can always go out with his dad and uncle.
After figuring it out, Mu Chengye quickly finished the porridge in his bowl and ran to the side to do a horse stance.
Ningbao: Her fourth brother is so serious!
