Chapter 76 The Origin of the Red-Tasseled Spear
When Mu Cheng'an arrived with his men, Ning Bao and the others had already picked enough wild vegetables for their family to eat.
Shen Sijian and the others hurriedly carried wild vegetables into their own baskets, and even Huang Xiaying's basket was filled to the brim.
Having brought enough people to their home, Huang Xiaying took Ningbao and the other children back to the camp.
As for the others, they're not children, they'll know to come back on their own soon enough.
If I don't come back, then it'll be goodbye forever!
Taking advantage of the few people in the camp, Li Guizhi, Shen Yuzhen, and Liu Qingru worked together to quickly prepare dinner.
In fact, their dinner was very simple: they made some multigrain pancakes and cooked a vegetable soup. Li Guizhi also secretly boiled a lot of eggs.
Boil all the eggs that Mu Cheng'an brought back today, as well as the few Ning Bao gave her before. Ning Bao and the others found quite a few eggs yesterday, and they found more today.
There are plenty of eggs at home now. Li Guizhi never skimps on the children's food. She boiled all the eggs and gave one to each of the children, and the rest were all for Ningbao.
Boiled eggs are easy to carry and have a mild odor; you can easily carry them around and eat them.
Li Guizhi was afraid that Ningbao would be hungry, so she would give Ningbao any food she had.
As soon as Ning Bao and his group returned, they were greeted with a bowl of hot vegetable soup. Although the dinner was simple, everyone enjoyed it very much.
The adults in the family were especially satisfied because the children immediately shared the eggs with them. In the end, they had to follow Ningbao's suggestion and each of the adults got one.
Ningbao felt very satisfied seeing that everyone in her family had an egg. Although she couldn't feed them eggs to their hearts' content right now, she believed that as long as she worked hard, her wish would come true one day.
That night, all the villagers in Shanglin Village ate wild vegetables, and everyone had a very satisfying first night in the forest.
The next morning, everyone got up early and continued their journey. To their surprise, they found that the further they went in, the more greenery there was.
During the midday break, the diligent Ning Bao led Mu Chengye and Lin Dongyang in practicing horse stance again. Now, Mu Chengye and Lin Dongyang no longer had trembling legs after standing for a while, unlike at the beginning.
Seeing how diligent Ning Bao and Mu Chengye were, the brothers Mu Chengan, Mu Chengju, Mu Chengle, Shen Sijian, and Shen Sikang couldn't sit still any longer.
They voluntarily came up behind Ning Bao and the others and started practicing as well.
Even Mu Chengrong came over today. Mu Chengrong looked at Ning Bao nervously.
"Ningbao, can I train with you guys?"
Ningbao kept a straight face and her feet firmly planted on the ground; she didn't even turn her head.
"Practicing martial arts is very hard. If you are not afraid of hardship and can persevere, then you can train with me. But let's be clear from the start, once you start, you can't give up halfway."
Mu Chengrong nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, Ningbao, I will definitely persevere."
After Mu Chengrong finished speaking, he immediately assumed a horse stance next to Ning Bao.

Looking at the earnest children, Shen Yuzhen couldn't help but come up to Shen Junshan.
"Brother, I want to talk to you about something."
Shen Junshan glanced at his younger sister, then turned and walked to the side. When he reached a secluded spot, he stopped and turned to look at Shen Yuzhen.
"Is something the matter, Yuzhen?"
Shen Yuzhen pondered for a moment, then looked at Shen Junshan with a determined gaze.
"Brother, I'd like you to teach the children martial arts."
Shen Junshan didn't answer Shen Yuzhen's question directly, but instead gave her a deep look, then glanced at the children practicing horse stance not far away.
Give me some time to think about it.
Shen Junshan paused for a moment and continued,
"Yuzhen, I saw Father's red-tasseled spear."
