Chapter 77 There are good things in the mountains
"What?" Shen Yuzhen was extremely shocked.
"How is that possible? That red-tasseled spear disappeared along with Father back then?"
"Brother, are you sure about Father's red-tasseled spear?"
Shen Junshan nodded solemnly.
"I've played with that spear of my father since I was a child and I can't be sure of it. The key is that the red-tasseled spear is with Ningbao. According to Ningbao, that red-tasseled spear is from the Sanqing Taoist Temple."
During this famine, the Taoist priest Sanqing put all the items in the temple into a storage talisman and gave them to Ningbao.
Yesterday, when we met Wild Wolf Ningbao on the mountain, he took out the Red Tassel Spear while looking for weapons for everyone, and I recognized it at a glance.
I asked Ningbao for the red-tasseled spear, and I'll keep it with Ningbao for now. I'll deal with it when I meet Master Sanqing later.
"We might be able to get news of Dad from him."
Thinking back, the brother and sister weren't in a good mood...
"Alright, everyone, let's get going. We need to hurry while it's still not too cold. If we're still not out of the forest by the time it snows, we'll be in big trouble."
At the village chief's command, the team immediately sprang into action.
Shen Yuzhen and Shen Junshan also returned to the group with somber expressions.
Mu Chunping carried the luggage and walked beside Shen Yuzhen.
"Honey, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell? Should I carry you for a bit?"
Shen Yuzhen shook her head.
"I'm fine. I just talked to my older brother about something and it reminded me of things from my hometown."
"It's alright, my husband, I'll be fine in a bit. You go ahead and watch over Father. It's difficult to walk in the woods; if Father gets tired riding the donkey, you can carry him for a while."
Mu Chunping glanced apologetically at Shen Yuzhen.
"Then take good care of yourself, and call me if you need anything."
Mu Chunping suddenly felt that he had failed in his duty, as he had not paid any attention to his wife, Shen Yuzhen, all along the way.
His father is unable to walk, so he has to stay by his side to take care of him all the time. In addition, there are many children in the family, and Ningbao is still young. He is either taking care of his father or taking care of Ningbao...
Shen Yuzhen smiled at Mu Chunping's apologetic expression.
"Alright, stop dawdling. I'm not a child; I can take care of myself."
"Dad's health isn't good, so please take good care of him. Do you expect me, a perfectly healthy person, to be carried by you?"
…………
Today is the fifth day in the forest. Everything has been great in the forest for the past five days. Not only can I dig up fresh wild vegetables every day, but if I'm lucky, I can also find wild eggs and hunt a few small animals.
However, they encountered a problem: there was no water.
The forest looked lush with green grass, but there was no water source to be found.
The village chief gathered everyone together for a village meeting early in the morning.
"Everyone knows we're about to run out of water again, so I've decided to stay here for a day to look for a water source."
As always, each household must send at least one person, who must be an adult male. Families with many able-bodied men can also go together.
Let's agree first that we should value harmony and absolutely not let fighting over supplies damage our relationship. Everything in the wild is unclaimed; whoever finds it keeps it.
Anyway, someone from each household will go, and each household can collect water for their own use.
After the village chief finished speaking, he looked nervously at Mu Chunping.
"Chunping, is Ningbao going this time?"
The village chief and most of the villagers of Shanglin Village were convinced of Ning Bao's abilities. They all looked at Mu Chunping with anticipation, believing that with Ning Bao by his side, finding water would be much easier.
Mu Chunping looked apologetically at the village chief.
“Uncle Village Chief, I haven’t asked Ning Bao yet, I don’t know if she’s willing to go.”
The village chief looked around.
"That's okay, I'll ask now."
"Ningbao! Ningbao..."
Ning Bao, who was squatting on the ground counting insects with Mu Chengye, heard the village chief calling her and immediately stood up and ran to him.
"Village Chief, did you call Ningbao for something?"
The village chief smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, your dad and the others are going into the mountains to find water later. Do you want to go?"
Going into the mountains?
Ning Bao glanced at the mountains that bordered the forest. Nice mountains! There's something good in there!
Even Lingling, who had been asleep for several days, woke up upon hearing Ningbao's thoughts. It poked its little head out of Ningbao's bag and its little eyes rolled around.
