Chapter 152 Fearing Ning Bao might change her mind
"Ningbao is here, come over here!" The village chief waved to Ningbao.
"Are the two grandfathers worried about those people outside?" Ning Bao frowned and glanced around the perimeter.
The village chief nodded.
"Yes, I've been very uneasy. Those people outside must be starving. They won't give up until they get something out of us today."
Mu Dasheng shook his head.
"No, these people are different today. Even if we give up our things, we may not be able to escape unscathed."
It's been quite a while since they fled from famine. These people who have managed to survive by guarding a main road are no saints. Judging from their eyes, most of them have probably killed people.
Therefore, today will be a fierce battle.
"Fight to the death!" Ning Bao uttered two words calmly.
The village chief and Mu Dasheng felt a chill run down their spines. Having spent quite some time together, Ning Bao's words were still very credible.
The village chief calmed himself down and looked at Ning Bao seriously.
"Ningbao, what do you think we should do today to minimize the damage?"
"Fight!" Ning Bao clenched her little fist seriously. "This fight today was foreseeable and unavoidable."
unless…………"
Ning Bao paused for a moment, then looked intently at the village chief and Mu Dasheng.
"Unless we don't head south, if we do, we'll definitely have to fight. We have to scare them all and show them our strength..."
The village chief pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice,
"Then fight! Fight them hard!"
Ning Bao sighed inwardly. She had sensed something was wrong as soon as she left the forest today. Shanglin Village had to face this battle head-on, and the outcome would depend on luck.
Actually, what worried her most was her own family. Their children, including Mu Dasheng, were unable to walk and were easily targeted by refugees.
If she had enough invisibility charms, she could have quietly led everyone out, but she didn't.
She now has very few talismans left. She has silver but no cinnabar or high-quality yellow paper for drawing talismans. She is now truly a clever housewife struggling to cook without rice!
well!
Seeing Ning Bao sigh, the village chief's heart jumped.
"Ningbao, tell the village chief the truth, are we doomed to die tonight?"
"It's not that bad!" Ning Bao shook her head.
"Village Chief, to be honest, tonight is indeed a bit difficult. My divination shows great misfortune, but there is a faint glimmer of hope within this misfortune."
This vitality is real, but I haven't figured it out yet..."
Seeing his little girl's worried face, Mu Dasheng quickly comforted her.
"It's okay, our Ningbao is already amazing enough."
Everything is fate; we just need to do our best.
The village chief echoed,
“Yes, Ningbao, our village is lucky enough. We are still all alive and well. I heard that some villages had a hundred or so people who came out, and now almost all of them are dead.”
Ningbao nodded, clenching her little fist.
"Yes, yes, Grandpa, Village Chief, don't worry, with Ningbao around, we will always be lucky."
Village Chief, it's already dark, and the people on the outskirts can't see our camp clearly. I have an idea..."
Ning Bao thought for a moment and said in a low voice,
"If I'm not mistaken, we're surrounded now. There are too many of us for me to take everyone out quietly."
"I can help store all the luggage you brought. Carrying things on your person is a burden when running away; running without anything should make it much faster."
"This is a great idea!" the village chief exclaimed excitedly.
“Ningbao, although the things we brought with us when we fled famine were not valuable, they were all necessities for daily life.”
Although everyone carries far fewer items than before, when they're all gathered together, it's still quite a lot. Can your talisman really hold that many things?
"Yes!" Ning Bao nodded. Her storage talisman had a very, very large capacity, many times larger than the one her master had given her. It could easily store anything that wasn't a living creature.
"Don't worry, Village Chief. We can put anything that isn't alive. Put as much as you can. Time is running out, so hurry up and have them mark everything. I'm only responsible for storing it, not distributing it. Just call me when you've gathered everything together."
The village chief stood up, intending to take care of this matter first, but before he could turn around, Ning Bao pulled him back and whispered something.
"Village Chief, if you are comfortable with this, you can bring Brother Dongyang and Sister Jiayu over and let them stay with me."
"Don't worry! I'm completely at ease!" The village chief nodded without hesitation after hearing Ning Bao's words, then quickly turned and left, as if afraid that Ning Bao would return.
Ning Bao: "…………"
