Chapter 1352 Famine and Natural Disaster 511
Ning Yi, the eldest grandson of the Ning family, sat next to Ming Yi.

Mingyi glanced at him sideways, not understanding what was going on; this kid was a bit arrogant, why was he sitting next to her?

Ning Yi tried to speak awkwardly several times, but when Ming Yi turned her head away, he was even more unable to speak.

Old Master Ning raised his eyelids, looked at his eldest son, then looked at his eldest grandson, and shook his head silently; the father and son had the same temperament. His father was also like this when he was young, very arrogant and awkward. Later, he suffered a great loss and then changed his temper. Would his Ning Yi also need to do this to change his temper?
"Ning Yi, come here."

The boy came close to Madam Cheng but didn't say anything at first, and looked like he was seriously ill.

Ning Yi lowered his head and moved to the old man's side, "Grandfather."

"What do you want to do, kid?" Old Master Ning lowered his voice and bit his ear.

"Grandfather, I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask Madam Cheng, how long it will take us to go this way. You are weak, and your body cannot stand the long journey in the deep mountains."

Old Master Ning rolled his eyes at him and let him understand.

Madam Cheng, how can a little girl like you know how deep and far the mountain is? That's useless.

Moreover, this kid obviously went to ask because he cared about the old man, but when he sat next to him, he couldn't ask at all; he seemed shy and not generous enough, which was a bit embarrassing.

Mingyi drank water, a smile flashed across her starry eyes.

The guards cleared a long path, and it was already noon.

Each person was given some dry food and continued on their journey after eating.

The road ahead was sometimes blocked and sometimes smooth, and we stopped and started, and our pace was slow. By the evening we had only walked about 20 kilometers and were almost out of the first mountain.

Looking up, you can see endless mountains, one after another, tall and majestic.

"Madam Cheng, it's getting late. We should set up camp." Guard Yu spoke to her in a low voice.

Mingyi looked around and saw that it seemed to be a canyon surrounded by mountains and forests; if they continued walking, they would be out of the canyon in less than a quarter of an hour.

However, it was not a wise move to leave the canyon when night fell.

The canyon can accommodate about twenty people. It is spacious and surrounded by high cliffs. Relatively speaking, it is safe here.

"Set up camp in the middle."

After Ming Yi finished speaking, Guard Yu took the order and passed it down, "Set up camp in the middle, two people go collect firewood, two people go around to see if they can hunt prey; two people look for wild vegetables, and the rest of the people clean up the surrounding weeds."

"Here."

The guards have their own division of labor and are not assigned by the captain of the guards.

Guard Yu stretched out his arm, "Madam Cheng, I will help you to rest in front for a while."

"No, you support Mr. Ning. He is old and has walked such a long way with us. He must be very tired now." Mingyi looked at Mr. Ning who was struggling to move forward and felt sorry for him. "Mr. Ning, please stop and rest. We will stay in this canyon and continue our journey tomorrow morning."

"I don't know how far we have to go. No need to rest." Old Man Ning shook his head.

Old Man Ning's head was covered with sweat, and his body must have been soaked with sweat. He looked very tired but unwilling to stop. Mingyi didn't dare to let him continue walking.

"Mr. Ning Da, Mr. Ning Er, please help the old man sit down and rest for a while. We have arranged for someone to go out and collect firewood, and they should be back soon." He kept talking to the second son of the Ning family. Ning Qing and Ning Ru nodded and thanked him, and helped the old man find a place with hay to sit down.

"Dad, you should take a good rest. Madam Cheng has arranged the trip. Since she has asked us to take a rest, let's take a good rest. Besides, it is getting dark. It is not safe to continue to move forward. There are many poisonous snakes and fierce beasts in the mountains. It is okay to walk during the day. If we continue to travel at night, it is no different from gambling with our lives."

Even if you walk with a torch, you can't see clearly around you.

Old Master Ning was forced to sit down by his two sons. His legs were trembling. He had been walking for too long and his legs were sore and painful.

Ning Qing and Ning Ru squatted down worriedly, "Dad, are you feeling uncomfortable? Your son will give you a massage."

"No need. You've been walking with us for such a long time. Sit down and rest for a while. Go and help them with some work later. We've eaten and drunk their food along the way, so do whatever work you can." Old Man Ning waved his hand and waved away the hands extended by his two sons.

Ning Qing nodded, "Son knows, son is not tired, I will massage you to relieve the pain first."

"No, just let me sit down and take it easy." Old Master Ning was determined not to let them take action.

Ning Yi saw this and said, "Grandfather, Dad, Second Uncle, you don't have to do anything. You just rest here, I'll go help them clean up the weeds."

Mr. Ning nodded with satisfaction.

"Follow the guards and work hard. Don't call them guards or not. Just call them big brother. Thanks to them for protecting us along the way, we were spared a lot of fatigue. If we were the only ones to walk the mountain road, I don't know how tired we would be. Please respect them."

"Grandson understands. I'll take my leave."

Ning Yi took it in. He was not a fool, but he had a proud temperament and bones since childhood, which had not been polished and lacked tact.

Grandpa Ning watched his grandson rush over to help with the work, smiled comfortably, and talked to his two sons, "Look at our Yi'er, he has experienced a lot and is slowly becoming sensible."

"Yier is very sensible. He followed us all the way during the escape. He never complained about the hardship or tiredness. He helped with the work and took care of the family members, brothers and sisters on the way." Ning Ru felt that the old man had too high expectations for Sun Chenglong and placed too high expectations on Ning Yi. Ning Yi had a lot of burden and pressure on him.

"The child should be sensible at this age. He should do what he is supposed to do." Ning Qing was calm and composed. He was satisfied with his son's performance, but he would not say it out loud.

Ning Ru shook his head, "Brother, you are too serious. You should praise Yi'er more often to make him happy. You know that he is right to do so, but you always have a stern face. How can the child know whether it is right or wrong? You make the child feel distant from you."

There should always be an opportunity to express right and wrong. He doesn't think it's right to always have a stern face and be a strict father to educate children this way; his children will not be as upright and rigid as Ning Yi. To put it nicely, they have good rules and etiquette, but to put it bluntly, they have no self.

No matter what he likes or dislikes, he needs the approval of the elders in the family before he can do it. He couldn't stand the thought of such a life. Fortunately, he didn't educate his children like this, and they are all very lively.

"He is the eldest son and grandson in the family, and he has responsibilities to shoulder." Ning Qing said.

Ning Ru didn't know what to say, but he had given up; he had tried to persuade him many times, but he never listened.

Old Master Ning has the same idea as Ning Qing, but what his youngest son said is also right; being strict with children will only lead to estrangement between them. You won’t feel anything when you are young, but you will understand when you are old. The older you get, the more you hope that your children and grandchildren will sit in your arms and be close to you.

The eldest son was brought up in a rather rigid way, and he speaks and acts in a methodical manner; although he is filial, it is true that he is not very open to others.

The younger son was different. He loved to play and make noises when he was young, and there were no rules because he was the youngest. The younger son was very close to him. They always talked and laughed together. He was willing to make him happy and was very close to him.

I can only say that my two sons each have their own advantages and disadvantages. It is true that I prefer my younger son when I get older.

The second update is coming~~Good night~~
