Chapter 92 Preparing to Settle Down
Oh!
Lingling's brother?
It must be quite remarkable that this cat could grow that big all of a sudden.
However, as long as it doesn't harm Ning Bao, he doesn't plan to interfere. In his opinion, his little niece is no ordinary person.
Although young and seemingly harmless, she is actually quite clever.
Mu Cheng'an was very friendly to this new spirit, because he had just seen his sister riding on its back on the way back.
This big cat is practically his sister's mount, so he'll have to take good care of it from now on.
Seeing that Ning Bao was busy, Mu Cheng'an didn't disturb her. He picked up a fish and went straight to Ling Ling.
"Cats all love to eat fish. Even though you're a bit bigger, you're still a cat, so you should like to eat fish too, right?"
Although Lingling can speak now, it doesn't dare to open its mouth because its master told it not to speak casually.
The fish in Mu Cheng'an's hand nodded slightly, and Mu Cheng'an was very happy to see the nodding fish.
Lingling used to be very clever and could understand what they were saying. He never expected that Lingling's brother could also understand him.
Mu Cheng'an looked at Lingling with even more enthusiasm.
Do you prefer raw or cooked food?
Your sister seems to like eating fish too, but unfortunately when she was alive, we didn't have a river and couldn't catch fish for her.
There are a lot of fish in the river today. I'll catch some more and take them home for you to eat.
"I'll have to trouble you to carry my little sister from now on. She's young, so please walk slowly and don't bump her..."
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
Lingling couldn't help but click her tongue twice in her heart. Her master's older brother spoiled her master to an extreme degree.

As soon as Ning Bao finished casting the spell, Lin Jianfei immediately opened his eyes. He looked at Ning Bao gratefully.
“Ningbao, you’ve saved your uncle again. I don’t know how to thank you enough…”
Ning Bao smiled and shook her head.
"Uncle Jianfei, we're all family, no need to thank us. Just take care of yourself. Uncle, it's getting late, let's pack up and go home early."
"By the way, Uncle, thanks to you, we're having meat tonight."
Seeing Ning Bao's teasing, Lin Jianfei smiled sheepishly.
"Okay, let's hurry back and cook some meat."
Everyone was very happy to see Lin Jianfei awake, and they walked quickly on the way back.
Because of what happened today—seeing a ghost in broad daylight—no one was too surprised when Ningbao rode a huge fat cat.
After all, they've already encountered things like seeing ghosts in broad daylight, so what's a cat as strong as a tiger to them?
…………
At this moment, everyone at the camp in Shanglin Village, having rested for a day, was still busy.
The industrious women dug up many wild vegetables in the woods, and then in the afternoon they all started doing needlework.
Not to mention that it's almost late autumn and we need to make winter clothes, everyone's clothes are bound to get torn from running in the forest every day. We're usually in a rush and don't have time to mend them, so today, during our break, everyone started doing needlework.
After collecting the firewood, the children gathered in small groups and started playing.
The village chief walked over to Mu Dasheng with his hands behind his back and sat down on the ground.
“Brother Dasheng, we’ve been safe and sound in the woods for several days now.”
"But we'll probably be out of the forest in a few more days. This road ends there. What do you think we should do next? Take the main road or head into the mountains?"
Mu Dasheng thought for a moment,
"Dajiang, have you thought about how we're going to get through this winter?"
It's almost late autumn now, and at our speed, we probably won't be able to reach the south before deep winter.
How we should get through this winter is a real problem.
It won't be easy for more than 400 of us to find a place to spend the winter.
I suggested we head to a nearby town after leaving the forest. We don't have much winter supplies right now, but we can't survive winter in just a single layer of clothing, no matter where we are, otherwise the children and the elderly won't make it."
After listening to Mu Dasheng's words, the village chief fell into deep thought. He took out the map he had carefully preserved from his pocket and began to study it seriously.
"Brother Dasheng is right. It's getting cold soon, and we can't stay cooped up in the woods forever."
How about this? I see on the map that there's a town just outside the forest. Let's go check it out, buy some supplies, and then continue south until we reach Lanyu City.
Lanyu City is the first prefecture city located right next to the border.
Lanyu City shouldn't have been affected by the drought. We'll see if we can settle down there later.
Mu Dasheng was stunned for a moment.
"Does Dajiang intend to settle down in Lanyu City directly?"
