Chapter 149 Ning Bao's Superhuman Strength
As Shen Junshan walked, he explained to Ning Bao,
"Although Yunliu Town is not large, even the smallest town has wealthy households."
These wealthy households had a lot of belongings, and it was impossible for them to take everything with them when they fled famine. They would usually store the things they couldn't take with them in hidden warehouses or cellars.
Now that the shops on the street have been looted, we can only try our luck in the warehouses and cellars.
The town wasn't big, and the group soon turned into an alley. On both sides of the alley were large courtyards. There were more than fifty people in total. Shen Junshan described the places where wealthy families might hide things, and then everyone split up to carry out their tasks.
Ning Bao walked ahead and pushed open the gate. Seeing the messy items in the yard, her heart sank. However, she didn't give up. She took out her little compass and fiddled with it for a while. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Wow! Uncle, it looks like there really is something good!"
As Ningbao spoke, she took off running into the yard with her short legs.
Shen Junshan, Lin Hai, and Zhu Zi followed behind.
Ningbao, carrying a small compass, made her way through a maze of turns to the third courtyard.
The courtyard looked very exquisite, but everything that could be moved inside had long been taken away, making it look a bit desolate.
Ningbao, carrying her small compass, arrived at the artificial hill in the courtyard with practiced ease. She pointed to an inconspicuous large rock on the hill.
"This is it, Uncle. Can you move this stone?"
Shen Junshan looked at the stone Ning Bao was pointing to. It was a rockery, not very big, but conservatively estimated to weigh at least 300 kilograms.
Before Shen Junshan could answer, Lin Hai and Zhu Zi took the initiative to step forward.
"Ningbao, let's try it first."
Lin Hai rolled up his sleeves and pushed the stone with all his might...
It didn't budge an inch!
He tried again, but it still wouldn't budge!
Zhu Zi stepped forward.
"I'll give it a try!"
The pillar wouldn't budge no matter how hard we tried to move it!
Shen Junshan raised an eyebrow.
"Ningbao, are you sure there's something in here?"
Ning Bao nodded.
"I'm sure, absolutely sure, Uncle has something good here."
Since Ningbao has said so, we must move this stone and take a look.
Shen Junshan gathered his energy and then used both hands to push the stone...
He used all his strength, but the stone only moved a tiny bit.
Ningbao put away the small compass and rolled up his sleeves.
"Uncle, let me try."
"Ning Bao!" Shen Junshan knew Ning Bao was strong, but he couldn't even lift this stone himself, so he didn't believe Ning Bao could actually lift it.
He was about to speak up to stop her when he saw Ningbao already poised to push the stone aside with her little hands on it...
"It moved! Ningbao is amazing!" He exclaimed in surprise as he watched the stone pillar being moved.
Ning Bao exerted his strength again, and with a loud "boom!", the large rock completely detached from the artificial hill and rolled to the side.
Shen Junshan quickly stepped forward, picked up Ningbao's forearm, and examined it carefully. He found that apart from the slight redness when the fingers rubbed against the stone, there was nothing wrong with it.
Looking at the large rock that had been pushed over, Shen Junshan raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Ning Bao's strength wasn't just simple; she possessed superhuman strength.
When he was a child, his father told him that there were people born with superhuman strength. Basically, every generation in that family had someone born with superhuman strength. He wondered if Ningbao was related to them. Speaking of which, his family and that family had some connection.
However, they have been living under assumed names for many years and are unaware of the family's situation, so let's talk about this later.
The fact that Ning Bao was born with superhuman strength not only gave Shen Junshan a different perspective, but Zhou Rongzhang, who had been staying in the Soul Nourishing Chamber, also floated out when he heard the commotion.
He had previously thought that Ningbao was stronger than the average child, but he never expected that she would have such superhuman strength.
Zhou Rongzhang frowned. Could Ning Bao be related to their Zhou family?
But that's impossible!
…………
"Look, there's a cave here!" Ningbao pushed the rock aside and found a cave inside.
The group continued into the cave, and after walking a short distance, they came to a fork in the path, with two entrances appearing on the left and right. Lin Hai looked at Shen Junshan.
“Brother Junshan, Zhuzi and I will go this way, you and Ningbao go that way.”
Shen Junshan nodded.
"Okay, be careful. If you encounter any danger, shout loudly. Remember, nothing is more important than your life."
Lin Hai and Zhu Zi nodded solemnly, then walked towards the left entrance of the cave.
Ning Bao smiled as she stared at the hole on the right.
"Uncle, come on, let's go move the good stuff."
Shen Junshan smiled indulgently, then took Ningbao's hand and walked towards the right entrance of the cave.
