A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

This time, Ning Yue still stood up. She had even thought of how to take it out without being suspected.

She had to go up the mountain.

Madam He pulled Ning Yue back. “No, you’re a girl. Don’t go. It’s dangerous.”

“Yes, we should send a few men up.” Ning Bai thought the same.

“Village Chief, have you forgotten that I’m a blessed child?” Ning Yue deliberately teased. “Once I dreamt that there was a mountain ahead, there was really a mountain there. Perhaps the heavens are watching over me. If I go up, I might find something good.”

There was no science in this era. Many people were very superstitious. In everyone’s hearts, Ning Yue had indeed become a lucky charm.

Her words made Ning Bai hesitate.

“Mother, I’ll let Father go up with me. He treasures me so much and will protect me.” Ning Yue persuaded Madam He again. “It wasn’t easy for us to find the mountain. We have to try anything. Can you help me look after Xiaobao and Xiaobei here? Just treat it as the hope of the entire village!”

Madam He wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing everyone’s hopeful gazes, she really could not refuse. In the end, she could only bear the pain and nod.

“Well, you’re one of them,” Ning Bai said, no longer insisting.

A total of five people were chosen, including Ning Yue and Ning Guang.

The others were resting at the foot of the mountain to prevent the other escapees from going up the mountain to snatch the items.

Eldest Brother Ning returned the flashlight to Ning Yue, afraid that she could not see things clearly.

After Ning Yue went up the mountain, she shared a flashlight with Ning Guang and gave the other one to the other three.

The troops split into two groups. Ning Yue and Ning Guang headed towards the right side of the mountainside to search. Under the moonlight, the huge mountain peak was very quiet and a little terrifying.

However, Ning Yue was not afraid. She was a special forces soldier. Moreover, under such circumstances, no one would notice her.

“Dad, my stomach hurts!” Ning Yue felt that it was about time. She held her stomach and said to Ning Guang.

“Is Yueyue having a stomachache? Dad will guard you. Go quickly!” Ning Guang nodded innocently.

Ning Yue knew that it was best to bring this silly father along.

She immediately walked a little farther and soon found some exposed rocks behind the mountainside. She shined her flashlight.

There used to be a small waterfall that flowed from the top of the mountain to the mountainside. A section of the mountainside extended. The water was cut off here and had to trickle over a section of land before it could continue to the foot of the mountain.

Ning Yue looked around and finally saw a small pond under a rock. It had already dried up. Fortunately, there were many stones. If it was all soil, it would probably take a while to fill it with water.

Ning Yue seized the time and pulled out a water pipe from her space. She started to fill the small Xiaochi with water. Then, she carried a bucket and filled it with water from the ancient well.

She had tasted tap water and well water herself and realized that there was a huge difference. Well water was sweeter and refreshing, and it felt very comforting after drinking it. Her internal organs felt as if they had been nourished, and she felt refreshed.

She would add some well water and let the villagers drink it to strengthen their bodies.

After fifteen minutes, the little pond was almost half full. Enough!

After wiping the sweat off her forehead, Ning Yue began her act.

“Father! Father, come quickly!” she shouted, pretending to be surprised.

Ning Guang immediately rushed over, thinking that Ning Yue was in danger. He raised his electric baton and shouted, “Who bullied my Yueyue? I’ll kill him!”

“Father, no one bullied me. Look, what do you see?” Ning Yue pulled Ning Guang to the side of the small pond, her tone ecstatic.

No matter how stupid Ning Guang was, he knew that it was water!

His eyes widened, and then he shouted happily, “Water, water! There’s water, Yueyue! This is water!”

Their cries attracted the other three. They had scanned the area from the top of the mountain and found nothing. After hearing Ning Guang’s voice, they followed her all the way here. When they saw the water in the small pond, they were so excited that they were about to cry. “Water. We have water to drink. That’s great!”

The few of them rushed to the side of the small pond and drank as much water as they could. There was more than enough water here!

“Quickly go down and bring people up,” Ning Yue instructed. “This water happens to be under the rocks, so it’s not completely dried. Tonight, we’ll fill the water bags with water!”

Upon hearing this, someone immediately ran down the mountain and did not dare to continue shouting, afraid that he would call out to the other escapees.

Ning Yue first took off her empty water bag and quickly filled it with water.
