Almost Discovered

Madam He also felt that her daughter seemed to be very lucky, but then she thought of something and said in a sad tone, “Sigh, if only you were luckier and didn’t go to the General’s residence…”

Ning Yue was stunned.

Madam He seemed to realize that she had said something wrong. After Ning Yue returned from the General’s residence, she could not hear anyone mention the General’s residence. That place seemed to have become her taboo, and she watched as she became more and more silent. The Ning family did not dare to ask further and could only care about her and protect her in other ways.

Recently, Ning Yue had actually started to mention the General’s residence herself. She seemed to have forgotten about the past.

Even so, Madam He was still worried that her words would make Ning Yue sad.

“It’s alright, Mother. The matter of the General’s residence is already in the past. What happened can’t be changed. All we can do is to take every step in the future well. In the future, you don’t have to deliberately avoid mentioning the General’s residence. I’ve already let go.” Ning Yue smiled sweetly. Her tanned skin couldn’t hide her delicate appearance.

Madam He was moved as she pulled Ning Yue into her arms and hugged her. “My good child, you’ve suffered. Back then, I shouldn’t have agreed to let the people from the General’s Estate bring you back. I don’t know what happened that caused you to give birth to two children without knowing what happened. You were gossiped about behind your back. I will definitely protect you well in the future!”

Hearing Madam He’s sincere words, Ning Yue was extremely touched.

Unknowingly, she had already treated Madam He as her biological mother. She had indeed felt that she was like her biological mother.

“Mother, I’ll protect you too and Father, Brother, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Auntie, I’ll protect everyone with my life!” Ning Yue said softly.

Madam He smiled. She didn’t expect Ning Yue to protect anyone. She just wanted her daughter to be fine.

The mother and daughter returned to their sleeping place. The three younger brothers were sleeping soundly, but Ning Guang woke up. When he saw them, he got up aggrievedly. “Wife and Yueyue, why didn’t you wake me up? I didn’t see you guys and was scared to death. Boohoo…”

“Hey, why are you crying? We went to relieve ourselves,” Madam He said with a smile as she hugged Ning Guang.

Ning Yue was also amused. She lay down in her corner and gently patted Xiaobao and Xiaobei. She said to Ning Guang, “Father, hurry up and sleep. We still have to travel tomorrow.”

She wondered how long she had to travel before she could find a chance to take out food and water. Ning Yue was really worried.

She couldn’t even create a small pond of water out of thin air in such a flat area because that was too unreasonable.

Amidst her various thoughts, Ning Yue slept until dawn. When she heard her family wake up, she opened her eyes.

Every family had food and water to support them for the day, so this morning was quite relaxing.

After breakfast, they were about to set off. Along the way, Old Master Ning was observing the surroundings. He tried his best to recall the paths he had taken when he was young. Did he pass by this place? Were there any mountains nearby?

Unfortunately, after walking for a day, it was still an endless plain. There were more bones on the ground than living people on the road.

The people of the Ning Family Village still had to be on guard against the covetous eyes of the other escapees.

It was finally night again, and everyone’s spirits were low. If they couldn’t find water, even if they could last another day, they would eventually die of thirst and hunger.

Ning Yue looked at the lifeless villagers and was also very anxious, but she was powerless.

Suddenly, Third Brother Ning said, “Fourth Brother, I think I’ve seen your baton before!”

He looked at the electric baton in Ning Guang’s hand and found it familiar. He finally remembered. “The young hero who saved us last night used this weapon.”

Ning Yue’s heart skipped a beat. She wondered if she had been discovered.

She quickly got up and went to Ning Guang’s place. Then, she pretended to be surprised and asked, “Really? Third Uncle, when Father and I were kidnapped, we brought the batons back from those two bad people.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I’ve indeed seen it before. It should be something from the Western Regions. I’ve never seen such a weapon before. Those two animals probably snatched it from someone else,” Third Brother Ning answered seriously without suspecting anything.

Ning Yue echoed, “Yes, yes, yes. They definitely didn’t just capture me and Father. They might have captured others in the past and left their batons behind as weapons.”

Fortunately, she managed to fool them. Otherwise, she would really be unable to explain herself.

Old Master Ning also said, “Things are getting more and more remarkable nowadays. I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
