Chapter 42 Don't hold others back
When Ningbao returned, Li Guizhi and Shen Yuzhen had already prepared lunch.
Halfway through lunch, Ningbao put down her chopsticks and looked at Mu Chunping and Shen Junshan.
"Father, Uncle, are you going to find water this afternoon?"
Shen Junshan and Mu Chunping nodded simultaneously. They had only managed to find Mu Zhaodi last night thanks to Ning Bao's directions. Shen Junshan, who was always enigmatic, raised an eyebrow.
"Does Ningbao have something in mind?"
Ningbao frowned slightly. She had originally planned to probe slowly before revealing her purpose, but now that her uncle had asked directly, she stopped hesitating and spoke up.
“Yes, Ningbao wants to go too.”
After Ning Bao finished speaking, she looked guiltily at Li Guizhi, Shen Yuzhen, Mu Dasheng, and the others.
Ningbao originally thought everyone would definitely object, since in other people's eyes she was just a little kid who would only cause trouble if she followed along.
"Can."
Ning Bao looked at Mu Dasheng, who had spoken, in disbelief.
Mu Dasheng nodded again.
"Grandpa knows you didn't go with us to play, but to help everyone find a water source."
If you want to go, you can come with me. I know you're strong and have a lot of fighting skills.
However, you must remember that there are many dangers on the mountain, and you must protect yourself first if anything happens.
Only when you are safe can your father and your uncle be safe.
I'll say it again: regardless of whether you can find water or not, you must never do anything that is harmful to your health.
Your safety is always our top priority.
…………
Knowing that Ningbao was afraid of going hungry, Li Guizhi packed the only two eggs left in the house for her.
Under the watchful eyes of the whole family, Ningbao was carried up the mountain by Mu Chunping.
Seeing his younger sister follow the adults up the mountain, Mu Chengye immediately went to the open space next to him and started practicing horse stance.
Lin Dongyang, who had just finished eating and was out for a stroll, saw Mu Chengye practicing horse stance and quickly ran over.
"Chengye, are you doing the horse stance again?"
I think I just saw Ningbao go up the mountain with my dad and the others. Why are you so serious when even the little master isn't here?
Hearing Lin Dongyang and Mu Chengye standing in a horse stance without even raising their heads,
"I practice kung fu to improve my own skills, so that Ningbao can't keep an eye on me every day."
Ningbao is so young, yet he can already go up the mountain with his father to find water. I can't hold them back.
"I'm a man, I need to practice kung fu hard to protect Grandma, Mom, Aunt, and Ningbao."
Lin Dongyang was stunned by Mu Chengye's words. He was eight years old and Mu Chengye was five. He suddenly realized that he was not as sensible as Mu Chengye.
So Lin Dongyang, who had originally come to find Mu Chengye to play in the dirt, also stood next to Mu Chengye and seriously assumed a horse stance.
Not only Lin Dongyang heard what Mu Chengye just said, but also eleven-year-old Mu Chengan and twelve-year-old Shen Sijian, who were standing not far away.
Mu Cheng'an glanced in the direction Ning Bao and the others had left.
"Cousin, it seems we can't continue to be so mediocre. Before, I thought that as long as I could recognize a few words and write my own name, I could just farm the land well."
It seems we still have a lot to learn. We learned some basic skills from our father before, but those skills are really not enough in this chaotic world.
We are both the eldest sons in our families. From today onward, let's work hard together with our younger brothers. We can't fall behind in either academics or martial arts, especially martial arts, which we must learn diligently. In these chaotic times, martial arts can save our lives.
After Mu Cheng'an finished speaking, he walked directly to Mu Chengye's side and stood in a horse stance. Shen Sijian also walked over without hesitation, followed by Mu Chengju, Shen Sikang, Mu Chengle...
Village Chief Lin looked at his eldest grandson practicing kung fu with the children from the Mu and Shen families and couldn't help but nod. His eldest grandson seemed to be becoming more and more sensible.
Shen Yuzhen, who was cleaning up the stove, was taken aback when she saw the children practicing horse stance. She sighed softly.
These children are all very talented, but unfortunately their families have limited resources and cannot provide them with a good education.
She used to think that it would be good for her children to live a peaceful life as farmers, without needing to learn to read or write or practice martial arts. Now it seems that she was wrong.
Since the children are so motivated, she needs to have a serious talk with her eldest brother.
