Chapter 91: Summoning a Ferocious Beast?
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Ning Bao burped and continued on their way. Mu Chunping, on the other hand, only ate a cornbread from beginning to end, and no matter what Ning Bao said to him, he didn't eat any more.
It's a famine year now, so we can't eat as much food as we want. He's an adult, so a little bit is enough to tide him over.
But Ningbao is different; she's a child and can't go hungry. Besides, he really witnessed Ningbao's appetite today.
It seemed his little girl hadn't had enough to eat before. He secretly resolved to work hard to support his family, find supplies, and earn money.
That's how he can raise his little daughter to be plump and healthy...
On Shen Junshan's side, everyone simply ate a couple of bites of dry rations at noon.
Because Lin Jianfei was lying there in a state of uncertainty, no one was in the mood to eat or drink.
The fish that had been caught were not grilled, and the large amount of prey that had just been collected was not something to be happy about.
Everyone anxiously peered into the distance, surrounding Lin Jianfei's body...
"They're back, Dad and my sister are back."
In order to get a better view, Mu Cheng'an climbed to the top of the tallest tree next to him.
He shouted as soon as Ning Bao and Mu Chunping came into his sight.
Upon hearing that Ning Bao and her father had returned, everyone immediately gathered around them anxiously.
"Chunping, Ningbao, how are you? Are you hurt?"
"Yes, how are you? Encountering a ghost in broad daylight means this ghost is no ordinary ghost."
Seeing the worried looks on everyone's faces, Ning Bao and Mu Chunping quickly assured them that they were fine.
Ning Bao nimbly jumped off Lingling's back and quickly walked to Lin Jianfei.
"Uncles, don't worry, we're fine, and Uncle Jianfei is fine too."
I need to cast a spell on Uncle Jianfei now, so the other uncles need to spread out a bit.
How about this, once Uncle Jianfei recovers, we can go back. In the meantime, everyone can fill up the water containers.
"You can process the game you collected earlier using the river water, otherwise it will be inconvenient to process it when you get back to camp without water."
After listening to Ning Bao's words, everyone felt that they made a lot of sense, and they immediately dispersed to get busy without delay.
Ning Bao took out a few pills and handed them to Shen Junshan.
"Uncle, these pills are to reduce the smell of blood. I see that the uncles have picked up quite a lot of game, and there will definitely be a strong smell of blood when they process it."
It wouldn't be good if it attracted wild beasts. Uncle, please crush these and scatter them in the river or where you slaughter the prey.
Shen Junshan was just worrying about this matter, but seeing the pills Ning Bao gave him instantly put him at ease. He took the pills Ning Bao handed him and said softly,
"I had only heard of such a miraculous medicine before, but I never expected to actually encounter it today."
Ningbao, you're not going to tell your uncle that you're actually a pharmaceutical expert, are you?
Ning Bao shook her head.
"Hehe, Uncle, that's really not true. I only have talent in metaphysics and talismans and divination. I only know a little bit about medicine and pharmaceuticals."
However, many of the good pills I have were given to me by my senior brother.
Speaking of his senior brother Ning Bao, he was beaming with pride.
"My senior brothers are all very capable. My eldest senior brother is the thirteenth generation successor of the Bai family, a renowned family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in Longyuan Kingdom."
My second senior brother's father is an extremely powerful figure in the capital.
And then there's my third senior brother. His family has so much silver. My master said that his family has more silver than the national treasury. My master told me to cling to my third senior brother's leg so that I can get something to eat.
And my fourth senior brother..."
Upon hearing Ning Bao mention these figures, Shen Junshan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. If he wasn't mistaken, the senior brother Ning Bao was referring to was a descendant of the Bai family, a renowned family of physicians.
My second senior brother's family is a powerful family in the capital; they are either royalty or high-ranking officials.
The third senior brother is likely a famous and incredibly wealthy merchant in the Longyuan Kingdom, whose wealth rivals that of a nation…
Suddenly, Shen Junshan became curious about who this Taoist priest Sanqing really was.
…………
Everyone was busy preparing for the return trip, while Ningbao was diligently casting a spell to return Lin Jianfei's soul to its rightful place.
Lingling squatted beside Ningbao without moving an inch to protect her.
It was only then that Mu Cheng'an, who had just returned from catching fish, noticed the enormous cat that had been following Ning Bao.
Seeing Ning Bao busy, Mu Cheng'an walked up to his father and asked curiously,
"Dad, is this the big cat that Ningbao just rode back? It looks a bit like Lingling, but it's much bigger. By the way, Dad, where's Lingling? I haven't seen it."
Mu Chunping glanced at Lingling.
"Oh, Ningbao said this is Lingling's older brother. Ningbao didn't want to bother coming up with a name, so he also calls him Lingling."
It turns out that Lingling's parents took her away...
Mu Chunping simply repeated the same story Ning Bao had used to deceive him.
Just then, Shen Junshan finished his work and came over. Hearing Mu Chunping's words, he carefully examined the large Lingling for a moment, then raised an eyebrow...
