Chapter 50 Big disaster tonight
Her fellow disciples all knew martial arts and possessed considerable internal strength.
Ning Bao had watched her senior brothers practice martial arts since she was a child, and she could tell at a glance that her father was different from Shen Junshan.
Shen Junshan possesses internal energy, indicating that her martial arts skills have undergone systematic training, while her father only knows some basic punches and kicks; their fighting styles are clearly different.
...
Although Ning Bao didn't get to make a move, with Shen Junshan around, they subdued the wolf without much effort.
Although wolf meat isn't very tasty, it's still meat, and they were refugees, so how could they possibly let go of meat?
It was already dark, and everyone carried the wolf carcass and water jugs as they hurried back.
Mu Chunping carried Ning Bao on his back as he walked beside Shen Junshan. He looked at Shen Junshan with admiration, recalling the wolf-hunting incident.
"Brother, I didn't know you knew martial arts. You've never mentioned it before."
Shen Junshan frowned. He had no choice but to reveal his skills today because of the emergency.
However, he will definitely encounter many dangers on his way south, and his martial arts skills will be exposed sooner or later.
He gave a perfunctory smile.
"I practiced before the incident at home."
Mu Chunping knew that the Shen family had fallen into exile because of a family tragedy, and Shen Junshan and Shen Yuzhen had ended up in the border region when they were still young.
Although Shen Yuzhen had gotten married, he never asked too many questions about the Shen family; he always respected them.
Seeing that his brother-in-law didn't want to say more, Mu Chunping didn't press the matter further.
With nothing to do while being held, Ningbao took out her ghost shell and copper coins and started playing with them...
"Clang!"
Ning Bao stared in surprise at the divination result she had just obtained. She calmed herself down and calculated it again, but the result was still the same. Undeterred, she calculated it one more time.
Mu Chunping noticed Ningbao's unusual behavior and quickly looked down at Ningbao in his arms, asking,
"Ningbao, what's wrong? Did something happen? Or are you feeling unwell?"
Ningbao stared blankly at the tortoise shell in her hand.
"Father, tonight is an ominous night!"
Several people walking nearby were stunned when they heard Ning Bao's words. Ning Bao paused for a moment and then called out to Lin Jianfei.
"Uncle Jianfei, I'm divining the fortune of the camp."
I just did three divinations, and they all showed very bad luck. We need to go back quickly, or I'm afraid we won't make it in time..."
When Ning Bao said that the camp was in grave danger, everyone panicked.
Their families were all at the camp, and everyone unconsciously quickened their pace.
At the same time, a large number of people did indeed gather around the Shanglin Village camp.
A group of people quietly gathered a few hundred meters away.
The individual investors who had been seeking a sense of security on the outskirts of Shanglin Village sensed something was wrong and quickly packed their bags and left.
Even the wealthy family next to Shanglin Village, the one that had argued with Mu Chengrong during the day, noticed that something was wrong.
A man who looked like a butler looked around worriedly and whispered,
"Master, this old servant senses something is wrong. Should we retreat as well?"
The man addressed as "Master" pondered for a moment and then sighed.
"Withdraw? Where can we withdraw to?"
If I'm not mistaken, these refugees on the outskirts were attracted by Song'er's argument with the fat boy next door today.
Those refugees were almost starving, and these two brats were showing off all day. Plus, their chubby, fair-skinned bodies made them look like they had never suffered.
It seems we need to teach that child a lesson; otherwise, he'll be ruined.
Perhaps we are also targets of the refugees on the periphery; the group next door has hundreds of people while we only have dozens.
If we ally with our neighbors, we might still have a chance of survival; if we leave, we'll be walking into the lion's den.
The butler was taken aback. Did the master mean to form an alliance with the neighbor?
"Yes, steward, go and talk to their village chief and see if they have any solutions."
The steward acknowledged and quickly headed towards Shanglin Village.
He had just approached the Shanglin Village camp when he encountered Lin Hai, who was on night duty.
"Halt! Who are you? What brings you to our camp?"
As Lin Hai spoke, he took out the machete he was using as a weapon and pointed it at the butler.
The butler immediately bowed and scraped.
"Young man, please don't be angry. I'm the steward of the family that's camped next door. I'd like to discuss something with your village chief, and I hope you can help pass on the message."
Upon hearing that it was someone from next door, Lin Hai didn't press the matter further. After saying goodbye to his companion, Lin Hai headed into the camp to find the village chief.
The village chief was still awake; he was squatting down next to Mu Dasheng, chatting with him.
“Brother Dasheng, I’m a little panicked today. If something happens tonight, have the children take you into the mountains. I suddenly feel that the mountains are safer than the outside world.”
