A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Robbery

At this moment, Third Brother Ning walked out. “Father, I’ll go with Big Brother. You’re old and can’t see at night. It’s not safe.”

Ning Yue also took the opportunity to walk out. “That’s right, Grandpa. Why don’t I go with Eldest Uncle and Third Uncle? Everyone will have you as a backbone here.”

Upon hearing Ning Yue’s words, Old Master Ning immediately berated, “Nonsense, do you know how dangerous it is? You’re a girl. Not only can’t you help, but they also have to divert your attention to take care of you. Moreover, what if something happens to you? What about your mother? What about your two children?”

Madam He rushed over and grabbed Ning Yue’s arm. “Girl, don’t cause trouble!”

Ning Bai and the others also disagreed with Ning Yue following them.

If she encountered other escapees and there was a conflict, it would be very difficult for her to protect herself.

Ning Yue had been kidnapped once before, and it had already traumatized everyone.

“Yueyue, just stay here and take care of the children. Leave these things to Uncle and the others.” Ning Dalang knew that Ning Yue also wanted to help, so he smiled kindly.

Ning Yue was really anxious. If they didn’t bring her along, how could she find a chance to take out the water and food?

But everyone disagreed, so she let it go.

Seeing that Ning Bai and his son had set off with Eldest Uncle and Third Uncle, Ning Yue could not help but rush forward and pull Eldest Uncle and Third Uncle aside. “Wait!”

Eldest Brother Ning and Third Brother Ning were pulled aside by their niece. They didn’t know what Ning Yue was going to do until she took out two small hammer-like things that felt like iron.

“What’s this?” Eldest Brother Ning asked. He had never seen anything like it.

“I don’t know. I secretly brought it out of the General’s residence. My biological father is a general. In the past, he captured some things from the Western Regions during the war. They’re probably from the Western Regions.” Ning Yue made up a random reason, then took a flashlight and told them how to turn it on.

The moment the switch was pressed, a bright light burst through the darkness. Even Ning Baining and his son were shocked.

How could they find water and food at night without a flashlight? If they were attacked, they wouldn’t even be able to see where they was!

“This, this thing…” Third Brother Ning looked at the flashlight in shock.

“It’s fine. They owe me so I took it. First Uncle and Third Uncle, you have to be careful,” Ning Yue reminded solemnly.

Ning Dalang and Third Brother Ning looked at each other. They knew that Ning Yue had given them all the good stuff, afraid that something would happen to them.

Previously, when Third Brother Ning had contracted a serious illness, Ning Yue, who had just returned from the General’s residence, took out a precious golden token and directly exchanged it with money for Third Brother Ning’s treatment.

She had become reticent by then, but had always been quietly concerned about her family.

Apart from a pair of jade pendants, she took out all the other valuable things she had brought from the General’s residence.

The child had always had a kind heart.

“Alright, we’ll be careful. Yueyue, go and rest.” Eldest Brother Ning nodded and went to Ning Bai’s place with a flashlight each.

Then, Eldest Brother Ning gave a flashlight to Ning Bai and his son while he shared one with his younger brother. This was because everyone had to look for food separately.

Ning Yue watched them walk away and sighed. She silently returned to her resting place and slept with the two children.

Before she knew it, she was almost asleep too, but then someone called out.

“Oh no, oh no!”

Ning Tian ran back. “We encountered robbers!”

Robbers? Ning Yue immediately woke up. She glanced at the sleeping child and rushed to Ning Tian’s side. “Uncle Ning Tian, what’s going on? Are they refugees?”

“No, it’s the carriage of General Zhenbei of the capital. He brought some guards with him and wants to snatch away what little water we have left!” Ning Tian was also anxious. After speaking quickly, he found someone to support him.

In the past, when the other party’s identity as a general was revealed, they could only bow down to him. However, this was a matter of life and death, so who cared about his identity? Even if the emperor came, he could not kill them for no reason!

A few larger men from the Ning Family Village stood up and followed Ning Tian to provide support.

Ning Yue couldn’t wait any longer. She said to Madam He, “Mother, help me take care of the children. My stomach hurts!” With that, she quickly left.

Although Madam He wanted to stop her, she had no choice. She could only help her watch the children.
