Chapter 153 Ning Bao, who likes to take on responsibilities
"You always know how to take on trouble for yourself." Mu Dasheng affectionately ruffled Ningbao's hair.
"Tell me, do you have some wicked ideas up your sleeve again?"
Do you know how chaotic it will be when the fight breaks out?
"I haven't even figured out how to arrange things yet, and now you're bringing Dongyang and Jiayu over. They're both little kids, what are you going to do?"
"Grandpa, don't worry, I've thought it all out. I have a covered carriage here, which I picked up in Yunliu Town. It will come in handy tonight."
Mu Dasheng looked disapproving.
"If a fight breaks out, the carriage won't be able to get out."
Ning Bao shook her head.
"Grandpa, I'm not planning to go out in a grand manner. I have a few invisibility talismans here. You can take Grandma, Mom, Aunt, and brothers with you in the carriage, and let Chixiao take you out."
Chi Xiao had been on the battlefield and had seen scenes of thousands of troops, so these refugees were nothing to him.
"Our family is large, and it might be a bit crowded if Dongyang and Jiayu come over. The village chief's family has been very kind to us, and I think we should help them take care of the two younger ones."
Mu Cheng'an, who had been lying nearby pretending to be asleep, suddenly spoke up.
"Grandpa, Ningbao, Sijian and I want to fight alongside Dad and the others."
Mu Dasheng's face was full of disapproval.
“Cheng’an. I know you want to do something for the family, but you are still young…”
"Grandpa Mu." Shen Sijian also came over.
"Grandpa Mu, I know you're worried about me and Cheng'an, but we're both grown up and the eldest sons in our families. If we were living a stable life now, we could hide behind you and enjoy our comforts."
But these are chaotic times, and we must learn to grow up and take responsibility. We still have so many younger brothers and Ningbao to support.
As the two older brothers, we must grow up quickly to help our father and uncle shoulder the responsibilities of the family.
After listening to Chen Sijian's words, Mu Dasheng also fell into deep thought. After a few breaths,
"You are all good children. Since you have made up your minds, I will not stop you. However, I cannot decide whether you can go or not. You should ask your parents later. If they agree, you can go. But please remember to be careful in everything you do."
If your parents don't agree, then you'd better come and ride in the carriage with us.
Shen Sijian and Mu Cheng'an nodded seriously, then crouched down and went to find their parents.
The younger children, including Mu Chengle, sighed quietly. They wanted to help, but they knew their own limitations and that they were too young to do anything else. All they could do was take care of their grandparents, protect themselves, and not cause trouble for others.
When Shen Sijian arrived, Shen Junshan was wiping his usual broadsword under the cover of night. He glanced up when he saw Shen Sijian.
"So you finally couldn't stay in bed any longer?"
Feeling a little uneasy that his father had seen through his thoughts, Shen Sijian pondered.
"Father, I'm all grown up now and don't want you to protect me all the time. Besides, Cheng'an and I have been training with you for so long, we can't just keep working behind closed doors. Today is a good opportunity for us to practice our skills."
Shen Sijian gave his eldest son an approving look.
"Hmm, not a bad idea. I have no objection to this. Go find Ningbao later and ask for a suitable weapon. But you'll have to talk to your mother yourself..."
"father…………"
Shen Junshan shook his head. "Don't call me father or grandfather, it won't help. You were born from your mother's blood and sweat and raised with great care. If you want to do anything dangerous, you must get your mother's permission. No one worries about your safety more than your mother."
"But...?" Shen Sijian wasn't disrespectful to his mother; rather, he respected her too much. He was afraid she wouldn't agree, but he didn't want to hurt her feelings...
"What are you two plotting here?"
While Jian was deep in thought and struggling with his decision, Liu Qingru walked over. He mustered up his courage and looked at her.
"Mother, I have something to tell you."
Liu Qingru looked calmly at Chen Sijian.
"You want to fight alongside your father?"
Upon seeing his mother's affirmative words, Chen Sijian was taken aback for a moment.
"Mother...I..."
"Alright." Liu Qingru waved her hand.
"Sijian, Mother knows what you're going to say."
You are the eldest son in the family and you want to help your father share the burden. As your mother, I have no objection.
But you must remember one thing: you must protect yourself. Only when you are safe can you protect your parents, family, and siblings.
Liu Qingru turned to look at her husband.
"Husband, be careful. Don't forget you still have me and Sikang. Ningbao just said we should pack our luggage and take it over. Let's hurry up and get going. I hope we all get through tomorrow safely..."
