Chapter 187: Did they dig up someone else's ancestral grave?
"Ningbao, look what I dug up!"
Lin Dongyang shouted excitedly after digging for a short while.
Shen Junshan looked in the direction Lin Dongyang was digging, and a somewhat rotten wooden plank came into view.
Shen Junshan paused for a moment, then realized that the wooden planks found in the grave mound were most likely a coffin.
"Ningbao, should we keep digging?"
Ning Bao nodded without hesitation.
"dig!"
It's not that Ningbao insisted on digging up someone's grave; it's just that she consulted a divination while digging, and the mound contained only wealth, not bones.
The three of them worked together for a short while and dug out a hole that was two meters long and one meter wide...
"coffin"
Although Lin Dongyang was only eight years old, he had seen coffins before he fled famine, so he was a little confused when he saw the coffin he had dug up.
"Ning... Ningbao, this looks like a coffin. Did we accidentally dig up someone's ancestral grave?"
I've heard that digging up someone's ancestral graves is the most immoral thing you can do. Wouldn't it be wrong for us to do that?
Ningbao glanced at the large wooden box shaped like a coffin.
"Don't worry, Brother Donglin, it's just an ordinary wooden box that's made to look like a coffin."
There were no remains inside, only wealth, so it's definitely not someone's ancestral grave. Digging it up wouldn't be immoral, so we can dig it up without worry.
As Ning Bao spoke, she quickly swung her small shovel and dug out the wooden box that had already revealed a corner.
Lin Dongyang and Shen Junshan rushed over to help.
The three of them worked together and soon dug the wooden box off. Shen Junshan picked up a shovel and tried to pry it open, but found that the box was well sealed and couldn't be pried open at all.
Ningbao picked up the small shovel,
"Uncle, let me do it!" Ningbao said, sticking the shovel into the crack between the lid and the wooden board.
*Snap!*
Shen Junshan was stunned for a moment. He knew Ning Bao was strong, but he didn't expect her to be this strong. He had just used all his strength and still couldn't open the wooden box.
Unexpectedly, Ningbao loosened the nails on the wooden box with just a light touch.
Ning Bao quickly dropped the shovel in his hand and lifted the wooden plank...
"Ningbao, it's getting late. Since we've confirmed there are no remains in this box, let's put it away for now and look at it again when we have a home."
"This wooden box looks rotten; there's probably nothing good inside. Let's hurry back; the village chief and the others must be getting impatient."
Just as Ning Bao was about to open the wooden box, Shen Junshan stopped her.
He knew that since Ning Bao insisted on digging into this box, the contents of the box must be extraordinary, and now Lin Dongyang was here.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Lin Dongyang, but rather that Lin Dongyang was still a child. If he accidentally let slip that Ningbao had valuables, it wouldn't be a good thing in these famine years.
After hearing Shen Junshan's words, Ning Bao and Lin Dongyang both looked up at the sun. Ning Bao frowned.
"It's so late? Let's go back quickly."
The village chief and Uncle Jianfei must be getting impatient.
As Ning Bao spoke, she put the wooden box into her storage talisman and took out a flying talisman for Lin Dongyang to use.
…………
Shen Junshan was right; Lin Jianfei's family and Mu Chunping and the others in the mountains had been waiting anxiously for some time.
As dawn broke, even those who had been feigning composure could no longer maintain their composure.
She anxiously looked in the direction Ning Bao and the others had left, and when she saw Lin Jianfei coming over, Huang Xiaying's face was filled with even more melancholy.
"Husband, do you think Ningbao can find Dongyang?"
Lin Jianfei nodded firmly.
"able!
"Don't worry, honey. Ningbao is very capable; she'll definitely find Dongyang."
Lin Jianfei hesitated for a moment and looked at his wife.
“Wife, I’m saying if…if…Dongyang isn’t found or doesn’t come back safe and sound, you must hold on, we must believe in Ningbao.”
As long as there's even the slightest hope, Ningbao won't abandon Dongyang. So if something really happens to Dongyang, it might be Dongyang's life, but it might also be ours. We absolutely cannot blame Ningbao.
Huang Xiaying glared at Lin Jianfei.
"Husband, what are you saying! Ningbao, a little girl, went to help us look for our child in the middle of the night. Whether we find her or not, we should be grateful to her. How could we possibly complain about her?"
It's past midnight in this desolate place. To be honest, I've imagined the worst-case scenario countless times. I hope Ningbao, Dongyang, and Brother Junshan can all return safely.
…………
On the other side of the camp, Mu Chunping's family was also very anxious. The women in the family couldn't even do needlework today.
"Father! Father! There are wolves over there!"
Mu Chengle, who had been sitting in the tree, shouted to Mu Chunping and the others below.
Mu Chunping and the others under the tree were not afraid, but anxiously looked at Mu Chengle.
"Go quickly and see if Ningbao is back?"
