Chapter 27

It Was Worth It

With an explosion, the carriage exploded until only a board was left, and the Matriarch and Ning Qing were sitting on it.

The startled horse ran faster, almost knocking them both off their feet.

The two of them were completely shocked from the explosion, but they still held onto the wooden board tightly, afraid that they would fall.

This scene was really satisfying. Ning Yue felt very relieved. She came to Eldest Brother Ning and gave them the items.

Eldest Brother Ning and the others were bruised and swollen. They looked at the food and water sent over and did not know how to react.

“Take it.” Ning Yue didn’t waste her breath. Her “stomach ache” had lasted for too long. If she didn’t go back now, Madam He would definitely be anxious.

After putting down her things, Ning Yue rode her mountain bike and left like the wind.

Eldest Brother Ning and the others had lived for decades but had never seen these things until today. However, they had only left the Ning Family Village during a drought. There were many things that they did not know.

Or perhaps Bodhisattva had manifested himself?

When Ning Tian and the others arrived, everything was already calm. They even obtained a lot of water and food.

The few of them helped Eldest Brother Ning and the others back.

“Boss!” Seeing that Eldest Brother Ning and the others had returned, Old Master Ning hurriedly went forward. When he saw that they were all beaten black and blue, his eyes couldn’t help but turn red.

“It’s alright, it’s alright. We’ll definitely find water in the next few days.” Old Master Ning valued human lives the most and comforted Eldest Brother Ning and the others.

Although the others were worried, they said nothing.

Eldest Brother Ning and Third Brother Ning looked at each other with joy. “Father, we’re fine. We met a young hero. He’s very skilled. Not only did he save us, but he also snatched the water and food from the Zhenbei General’s residence for us. Look, there’s so much!”

Eldest Brother Ning and the others took out the items and put them together. There were three water bags full of water and a bag of cornbread.

Everyone was shocked to see these things.

“T-That much?” Old Master Ning was stunned.

“Yes, that’s great!” Ning Bai wiped the blood from his face, feeling that the beating had been worth it.

If each family got a little, they could last another two days.

Madam Qu and Madam Qi looked at each other and could not help but thank the heavens. “The heavens have opened their eyes!”

Ning Bai smiled. “Thank God for sending that young hero to save us. There are still good people in this world. It’s so rare.”

Ning Yue happened to rush back. As she was anxious and had overturned the bike along the dark path, she was delayed a little. At this moment, Old Master Ning was distributing the things he had just snatched from the general’s residence.

“Yueyue, where have you been?!” Madam He’s heart wasn’t into the food. She was more worried about her daughter. Why had she taken so long to relieve herself?

Ever since the previous incident, as long as Madam He did not see Ning Yue for a certain period of time, she would worry that she had been kidnapped again.

Seeing Madam He’s anxious expression, Ning Yue deliberately rubbed her stomach in embarrassment. “Mother, it hurts a little too much. You don’t have to worry about me!”

Ning Yue’s indifferent look made Madam He’s eyes turn red. How could she not be anxious? This girl was already a mother. Didn’t she understand her feelings?

“Girl, do you know how dangerous it is now? You threw the children to me and left by yourself. How can I not be afraid? If anything happens to you again, I won’t be able to live!” Madam He wiped her tears and turned her back to Ning Yue.

“That’s right. Don’t make your mother worry. She can’t take it,” Madam Qu said to Ning Yue.

At the side, Ning Guang wiped away Madam He’s tears with a tattered handkerchief. “Wife, don’t cry, don’t cry…”

Ning Yue felt a little guilty. She knew that she was a little too bold and that Madam He was worried about her. She took a step forward and hugged Madam He’s shoulder. “I’m sorry, Mother. I’ll try to do it as soon as possible next time, okay?”

“Pfft!” Ning Yue’s words made Madam He laugh through her tears. She patted Ning Yue’s hand and rebuked, “What are you talking about? There are so many people here. Aren’t you ashamed to say this?!”

Ning Yue giggled. “What’s there to be embarrassed about?”

“Alright, I was too nervous. The next time your stomach hurts, I’ll definitely follow you.” Madam He thought highly of Ning Yue. Although she was adopted, she was her only daughter and had been raised by her. Naturally, she had a deep relationship with her. In her heart, this was her biological daughter!

Ning Shilang popped up. “Next time I have to pee with my sister. I’ll supervise her!”

Ning Yue did not know whether to laugh or cry. She flicked Ning Shilang’s forehead. “You’re a boy. There’s a difference between men and women!”
