Chapter 197 Discovery of the Dilapidated Temple
It would be much more convenient if each household were given a storage talisman, but the village chief refused as soon as Ning Bao made the suggestion.
Storage talismans are such amazing things. If word gets out, I don't know if it will be good or bad for Ning Bao. After all, human nature is greedy, and human nature is the most vulnerable thing in this world.
Just to be on the safe side, Ningbao kept the storage talisman himself. However, Ningbao gave each person in his family a separate storage talisman, and put various daily necessities, water, and food in each talisman.
In case everyone accidentally gets separated, at least they can barely make ends meet. Master Sanqing has always told Ningbao since he was a child that you can't put all your eggs in one basket.
Therefore, Ningbao has always carried a storage talisman with her since she was a child, and there has never been a shortage of food inside the talisman.

After an incense stick's time, the people of Shanglin Village continued their journey into the night—no, into the snow—in the cold night.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, making it a bit difficult for the cart to move. Since all the luggage and belongings were in Ningbao's storage talisman, the village chief simply told Ningbao to put the cart away.
Shen Junshan and Mu Chunping even wrapped Da Hui and Chi Xiao's feet in wolf skin. When they were about to wrap Lingling's feet, Lingling gave them a disdainful look and ran away. It was a joke; a high-level spirit pet like her shouldn't be wrapped in such an ugly wolf skin, as it would affect her image.
Without the cart, they set off again. Mu Dasheng sat on Chixiao's back, while Granny Liu sat on Dahui's back. Lingling was Ningbao's exclusive ride.
The snow was falling so heavily that by daybreak, it had already submerged Ningbao's calves.
Seeing the heavy snowfall falling like goose feathers, everyone looked troubled. The village chief sighed.
"The snow is too heavy. If we can't find a place to spend the winter, we'll either be buried in the snow or freeze to death."
It doesn't feel that cold when it snows now, but once the snow melts, it will be so cold that your bones will ache.
While we can still walk, let's all work hard and make the most of these two days. We should also keep an eye out for places to rest along the way.
Although things are tough right now, I hope everyone will not be discouraged. I believe that there is always a way out. Since God has shown us this path, there must be a reason for it.
As long as we persevere and don't give up, we will surely find a glimmer of hope.
right!
Ningbao clenched her little fists to encourage herself.
She had just silently calculated it again, and it still showed that there was hope to be found to the east.
Given this, Ning Bao firmly believes that heading east is their best option.
The group braved the blizzard for another three days, but the snow... still didn't stop. During these three days, their progress was extremely slow. Along the way, the village chief kept sending people to find a place to stay, but they still found nothing.
Suddenly, Lingling, who had gone out to play, ran back. It ran up to Ningbao and spoke to her telepathically.
"There is a large, dilapidated temple ten miles southeast of the master."
"A dilapidated temple?" Ning Bao looked at Lingling in confusion.
How big is it? Can it fit all of us?
Does it have a roof? Can it be used to shelter from the snow? Can it be used to survive the winter?
Lingling thought of the dilapidated temple's rickety roof.
"I think... I should be able to. Master, you know I'm very fast, even faster than your flying talisman. I just ran all over the area within a 500-mile radius and only found one place, a dilapidated temple, that was barely habitable."
Ning Bao frowned and thought for a moment.
"Okay, let's go take a look."
It was getting dark, and Ningbao thought it would be better to go to the dilapidated temple than to sit in the snow.
So Ningbao jumped directly onto Lingling's back.
"Let's go find the village chief."
After walking in the snow for several days, the village chief looked extremely haggard. Looking at the snow-covered ground and the still-falling snowflakes, he sighed softly.
The village chief had just turned his head when he saw Ning Bao riding a big fat cat over.
Seeing this, Village Chief Ningbao felt a glimmer of hope.
“Village Chief, Lingling just discovered a dilapidated temple in the southeast, and it seems to be the only one within a 500-mile radius. Do you think we should go and take a look?”
The village chief's heart was instantly filled with hope when he heard about the dilapidated temple. They had prepared a lot of food, which was now with Ningbao. If they ate it sparingly, it should be enough to last them for a while.
As for water, that's even easier to handle. They are now quite far from the border. The drought has eased considerably since they passed Lanyu City. There should be no shortage of water in this area, and there is snow everywhere outside. Once the snow melts, it becomes water, right?
"Okay, let's go take a look. I'm worried we won't be able to rest in the snow at night."
The village chief acted immediately, without even sending anyone to check first, and instead directly told everyone to head southeast.
