Chapter 139 Grandpa Zhou is a Good Ghost
When the village chief's wife saw her husband being embraced by another woman, she immediately stood up and spoke out.
She knew her man well; he was good in every way, except he was too kind-hearted…
Hearing the village chief's wife's scolding, Huang Lihua timidly let go of the village chief's hand and jumped off.
"I...I didn't mean to, there really is a ghost!"
The village chief glared at Huang Lihua's husband and son, who were cowering to one side, then gently patted his wife's shoulder reassuringly.
"Honey, I'm fine. Don't worry, she didn't take advantage of me."
Ning Bao: "…………"
The village chief is really something!
Ning Bao, who had been watching the commotion, hadn't even recovered when the village chief's old face loomed close.
"Ningbao, is your spell still up?"
Ning Bao was stunned for a moment.
"Hehehe, sorry, Ningbao is young and has a bad memory, I forgot by accident."
Ningbao quickly chanted a spell to help Huang Lihua close her third eye.
She chatted with Zhou Rongzhang for a while longer, and then put him into the spirit-binding bag.
Because of what happened with Huang Lihua, no one was curious about the horse's owner anymore.
People are curious about ghosts, but if you were actually asked to see one, you'd probably back down...
The adults in the family even kept giving their children instructions.
"Stay away from the horse Ningbao brought back, and whatever you do, don't provoke it."
"Why?
"That horse looks so majestic, I want to touch it. I even wanted to talk to Chengye about riding it a couple of times."
"Smack!" The adult slapped the child hard on the head.
"You brat, do you want to die? You dare ride a ghost's horse?"
"What's there to be afraid of about ghosts? Anyway, Ningbao is here."
Besides, isn't there a saying that if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear?
"If I haven't done anything wrong, I have nothing to fear."
"Why are you so stubborn, you brat?"
"If I say no, then no!"
…………
The crowd dispersed, and Mu Chunping and Lin Jianfei were assigned by the village chief to settle the prey.
The village chief, pulling Ningbao away in her haste, pressed on, asking,
"Ningbao, your Grandpa Zhou is... Is it really okay to leave his horse here with us?"
Humans and ghosts shouldn't be able to coexist forever, right? I've heard from older people that ghosts have heavy yin energy, which is bad for the health of living people.
You're still young..."
Ning Bao smiled and shook her head.
"Don't worry, Village Chief, it's alright. Grandpa Zhou is a good ghost, he won't hurt me."
Ningbao looked around, then lowered her voice and leaned close to the village chief. She wanted to whisper in his ear, but she couldn't reach.
"Village Chief, you don't know, do you? Grandpa Zhou is a great general. He looks so impressive in his armor."
Moreover, Grandpa Zhou had a lot of golden light on him, which is not something that just anyone has.
Only those with great merit receive this reward, so Grandpa Zhou must be a good person, and Chixiao is a fine horse; they wouldn't harm us.
The village chief was stunned; he hadn't expected the horse's owner to be a general.
…………
The next morning, the villagers of Shanglin Village got ready and continued their journey.
They were about to leave the forest, and with so much prey waiting to be exchanged for money, their initial anxiety subsided considerably, and everyone became very excited.
Because Ning Bao's family had an extra horse, most of their belongings were placed on its back. Originally, Ning Bao wanted Mu Dasheng to ride the horse.
However, Mu Dasheng said he was used to riding donkeys and refused to ride one again, so in the end Chixiao could only carry the luggage.
On the evening of the fourth day, the villagers of Lin Village stopped early and set up camp.
This was their last night away from the forest. It was getting late, and no one knew what was happening outside, so the village chief decided to spend the night in the forest.
We'll set off again first thing tomorrow morning.
After dinner, while the family was busy tidying up, Ningbao squatted to the side, opened the spirit-binding bag, and called out Zhou Rongzhang's name.
"Grandpa Zhou, are you leaving tomorrow? Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
Zhou Rongzhang paused for a moment. There were so many places he wanted to go, but...
"Ningbao, can you help me find my granddaughter?"
Ning Bao nodded.
"Sure, Grandpa Zhou, do you know your granddaughter's name and birth date? Or do you have any of her personal belongings?"
Zhou Rongzhang shook his head.
"No, there's nothing there."
The child was lost shortly after birth. He didn't know her name or birth date. He only knew from the person who brought the news that she was a girl. He knew nothing else, and she had no personal belongings.
Ning Bao frowned...
