Chapter 299 Let the Ghost Lead the Way
Ningbao had just returned from collecting fish at the beach.
I saw the village chief chatting and eating with my grandfather.
He quickly and very sensibly retrieved a small jar of aged wine from his storage talisman.
"Grandpa Dajiang, Grandpa, this old wine is for you to drink, but Grandpa Dajiang can have a couple more cups, while Grandpa can only have a small cup."
Having not drunk alcohol for a long time, Mu Dasheng smelled the aroma of wine. His stomach was bloated, and even though he didn't have an alcohol craving, the craving for alcohol jumped out and clamored. Mu Dasheng looked pitifully at his granddaughter.
"Ningbao, you won't let me drink, but you're trying to tempt me with alcohol. Do you have a problem with me?"
"How about I have two drinks, just two?"
Ning Bao shook his head seriously.
"no!
Grandpa, you're still not fully recovered, you have to be good.
Hearing Ning Bao's tone, Mu Dasheng suddenly felt a little puzzled. He was even a little confused about who was the grandson and who was the grandfather.
However, he knew that his granddaughter was doing this for his own good.
Lin Dajiang saw Ning Bao, who had been looking very serious, smiling at him.
"Don't worry, Ningbao, I'll keep an eye on your grandfather."
Li Guizhi, who was doing needlework outside the door, saw Ningbao take out wine and quickly got up to get two cups.
"Dajiang, drink some more. I'll go stir-fry some prawns for you guys to have with your drinks."
"Let your brother Da Sheng eat more so we can chat."
As Li Guizhi spoke, she went to the kitchen. Lin Dajiang glanced at Mu Dasheng teasingly, then suddenly remembered something he hadn't done yet.
"By the way, Ningbao, spring plowing is over now. I remember your dad said a while ago that you were going to go into the mountains to catch some foreign ghosts. When are you planning to go?"
Ning Bao thought for a moment after hearing Lin Dajiang's question.
“I’m just a kid, I don’t have much to do, I’m free every day, it just depends on when Grandpa Huang and the uncles in the village are free.”
Ningbao and Mu Chunping told their families about the Sun family's affairs when they returned that day, and Mu Dasheng also knew about it.
Hearing Ning Bao mention the ghost story, Mu Dasheng frowned.
"Ningbao, go and ask Village Chief Huang when he'll be free. I think this matter can't be delayed; it's better to get to the bottom of it as soon as possible."
The Sun family's affair reveals that those people are ruthless. The crucial point is that we don't know who they are or where they come from.
We're going to be living here long-term, and I won't be able to relax until this matter is completely resolved.
Lin Dajiang nodded seriously.
"It is indeed a problem. The coastline around Izumo Village is quite large. Last time, those thieves landed from the Sun family's side. What if they land from the other side next time? Will other people be the victims?"
No matter what, we cannot take any chances. The key is to find the person, sneak into their hideout, and eliminate them completely.
We can go to Ningbao anytime, it just depends on Village Chief Huang's availability, we'll try to go as soon as possible.
It doesn't matter if our house is built a day earlier or later; the key is to find those thieves as soon as possible.
I've heard people say that there are bandits in the forests and that mountain bandits like to hide. Do you think there might be sea bandits?
"Water bandits?" Ning Bao frowned.
"Village chief, you're too clever. Those who came from the water are very likely river bandits."
Do you think these river bandits would swim in the water like fish forever?
Mu Dasheng and Lin Dajiang exchanged a glance. Really? They didn't seem to know either!
Seeing the two grandfathers looking at each other blankly, Ningbao knew they didn't know. Without waiting for their answer, Ningbao continued speaking.
"The grandfathers wouldn't know at a glance."
Haha, actually I'm not too sure either.
However, I think that although Grandpa Huang said those thieves looked different from us, they should still be human.
They are just different from us. For example, there are wild boars and domestic pigs, wild goats and sheep, and cattle and water buffalo. There should be many breeds of humans as well.
No human being can stay in the water forever; every human being needs a place to stay, even if they don't have a home.
So once I catch the ghosts of those thieves, we can use them to lead the way straight to their lair.
Mu Dasheng and Lin Dajiang had already started drinking, and Ning Bao, seeing that there was nothing for her to do, immediately prepared to go to the village to find Huang Jinshan.
She had just stepped out of the house when she saw Mu Chengye running back from outside. Seeing Ning Bao walking out with a serious expression, Mu Chengye immediately ran over to talk to her.
"Ningbao, where are you going? Fourth Brother will go with you."
"Fourth Brother, have you finished your studies?" Now things are finally settled down. Although the house isn't finished yet, we won't have to flee famine anymore.
Now that spring planting is over, the Mu family's children, who are only a teenager, can no longer be left idle.
So starting today, the children will not only practice martial arts with Shen Junshan, but also learn to read.
The children in the family have never formally attended school. Shen Yuzhen used to only teach them some characters, but now Shen Junshan continues to teach them.
Logically, get out of class shouldn't be over yet. Seeing her fourth brother Ning Bao, she was a little puzzled, thinking that Mu Chengye was sent by her uncle to arrest her.
Today the tide was low, and she sneaked out onto the beach under the pretense of needing to pee, all so she could go find some big, fat fish...
