Chapter 287 Grandpa Huang, There's a broker in the village
"How about we take a stroll around the village?"
Shen Muyang suddenly had an idea and looked at Ning Bao.
“This village will be your home from now on. It’s really not right that you’re not familiar with your own village yet.”
Shen Muyang calmly and patiently persuaded Ningbao to give up going up the mountain to the village.
Ning Bao frowned, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
"Alright, let's go to the village then."
Even though we can't go up the mountain, it's nice to take a stroll around the village.
As long as I don't have to go back and face so many books, it's fine.
Once inside the village, Ningbao, like a curious child, looked around at the strange trees planted in front of each house and the strange fruits growing on them.
It's the busy farming season now, and Chuyun Village is already sparsely populated. Ningbao wandered around half the village but didn't see a single person.
Just as she was staring at the tall, straight tree in front of a house, a woman walked over from outside.
The woman, seeing Ning Bao and Shen Muyang, guessed they might be the children of new villagers. She smiled gently at them.
"What a handsome child!"
This woman was none other than Wang Shuixiang, the daughter-in-law of the village chief Huang Jinshan and the mother of Huang Yuhu.
The people of Izumo Village are exposed to the sea breeze all day long, so their skin is relatively darker and rougher than that of ordinary people.
Most of the villagers here have a dark, wheat-colored complexion, with some having a reddish tinge to their skin.
Despite the months of travel that Ning Bao and Shen Muyang endured, their skin remained fair and smooth.
Especially Ningbao, with her chubby, white face and big, bright eyes, she's so cute you just want to reach out and pinch her cheeks.
Being praised made Ning Bao, who was always very confident and down-to-earth, very happy. She gave Wang Shuixiang a sweet smile.
"Auntie, you're beautiful too!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Shuixiang burst into hearty laughter.
"Oh my, this little girl is so adorable! I really want to steal her away and keep her as a pet for a few days."
Upon hearing Wang Shuixiang's words, Ning Bao quickly pulled Shen Muyang back a few steps, then looked at her warily.
"Auntie, are you a human trafficker? A human trafficker who specializes in stealing children?"
Human slave trader?
Wang Shuixiang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter!
Oh my, this girl is so cute!
Wang Shuixiang was so busy laughing that she didn't have time to say anything when Ning Bao saw Huang Jinshan walking towards them from the direction the woman had come from.
Seeing the village chief, Ning Bao quickly pulled Shen Muyang over. When they reached Golden Mountain, Ning Bao pointed her chubby little finger at Wang Shuixiang.
"Grandpa Huang, there's a human trafficker in the village!"
Although Ning Bao had never met a human slave trader, he was not unfamiliar with him.
Because from a young age, her master and fellow disciples told her countless times:
You are not allowed to go down the mountain on your own. There are many kidnappers who specialize in kidnapping children at the foot of the mountain.
Now that her master and senior brother are no longer around, the people who often say this phrase have become her grandparents and parents.
So when Ning Bao heard the woman's words that seemed to be those of a human trafficker, she immediately became wary. Although she could beat a human trafficker, since everyone was so afraid of human traffickers, then these human traffickers must be very, very bad.
She wasn't afraid of human traffickers, but the other children certainly were.
So when they saw Village Chief Ning Bao immediately report the human broker...
Huang Jinshan paused for a moment when he saw Ning Bao pointing to Wang Shuixiang.
"Wenqiang's wife, how can you scare a little child when you're such a grown woman?"
Wang Shuixiang was a little confused. To be honest, she didn't understand how she had misunderstood. She gave an awkward laugh.
"Dad, this little girl is so cute. Are they new here?"
When Ningbao saw the woman call Huang Jinshan "Dad," her little eyes darted around.
"Grandpa Huang, is this human slave dealer yours?"
"cough!"
Upon hearing Ning Bao's words, Huang Jinshan choked on his own saliva.
"Ningbao, you've misunderstood. She's not a human trafficker; she's my daughter-in-law. Do you remember Brother Hu who used to catch fish with you?"
Ning Bao nodded.
"I remember, Tiger was a good guy."
The village chief continued,
"She is Tiger's mother, you can call her Aunt Huang."
Now Ningbao realized she had made a mistake. With bright eyes, she looked at Wang Shui and called out sweetly, "..."
"Hello, Aunt Huang, my name is Mu Wanning, my nickname is Ningbao, I am three years old this year... several months old."
Ningbao counted on her fingers for a long time but still couldn't figure out exactly how many months old she was. She was three and a half when she came down the mountain, but she'd been so busy lately that she hadn't had time to calculate her age...
