"Hmm... since the window is too small, should we smash it?"

Instead, they changed it to floor-to-ceiling glass windows, so that the desserts and other products inside the shop could also attract customers' attention.

And... all that furniture is pitch black, it looks awful, it needs to be changed!

All the display cases need to be replaced with wooden and glass ones; the yellow wood looks warmer.

This needs to be custom-made at a carpenter's shop in town. As for the design drawings, with the element analysis, that should be enough.

The walls also need to be completely repainted.

What colors should I use for wallpaper and curtains?

pink?

Purple?

These colors look rather dreamy; they might attract some of the young ladies from wealthy families in town, right?

Okay, okay, but no, no, this looks too flashy. I'll choose white or beige instead.

At least it looks more pleasing to the eye when paired with a wooden display stand.

Anle muttered to herself as she drew, lost in the design all morning, completely oblivious to the person lying next to her.

When Yu Rong opened her eyes, she saw a petite person with their back to her, muttering to themselves as they leaned on the kang table.

His gaze fell on Anle's back, his calm and distant eyes shrouded in a layer of puzzled doubt. He should be dead.

If you are poisoned by the venom of the black fungus snake, you will bleed from all seven orifices within half an hour, die from the poison, and turn into a pool of blood. There is no antidote. It is one of the most famous poisons in the capital of Tianqi with no antidote!

How did I survive such a deadly poison with no cure?

He was clearly on the verge of death at the time, so how was he saved?

He remembered grabbing a little girl before he died. Was that little girl the child in front of him?

Did she save him?

Impossible. He's just a five or six-year-old child. It's impossible no matter how you look at it.

Lost in thought, I heard the sounds of children laughing and playing outside.

"Third Brother, why did you tell Li Dapang on this? If his mother finds out, she'll definitely hold a grudge again."

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, our family doesn't rely on them for work anymore!"

That guy Li Dapang deserves a beating. Not to mention Master Meng wants to beat him up, I want to beat him up too.

It's one thing for him to show off in front of me all the time, but he even talked badly about my little sister!

Today I'm going to teach him a lesson so he'll remember it and shut his stinking mouth whenever he talks about my little sister.

Upon hearing this, An Ning raised her voice and pressed for an answer.

"Huh? Bad things? What did Li Dapang say about Little Sister?"

An Yi's face fell slightly.

"That kid called our little sister a witch, do you think I didn't want to beat him up? Telling him would be the least of my worries."

An Ning spat angrily.

"Pah! When I see him tomorrow, I'll give him a good beating too. What kind of witch is he? He's just spouting nonsense and ruining my little sister's reputation. My little sister is clearly a celestial maiden."

Anjing scolded, "Fourth Sister, don't talk nonsense. I already told you not to say such things."

"Hey, when did we get a few more rabbits?" Anning exclaimed in surprise as she passed by the rabbit hutch fence.

An Yi glanced at him and then looked over at him as well.

"Can't you see it's still lying there motionless? Our little sister must have caught it."

Anning's eyes lit up. "Ah, our little sister is back from the mountains!" she said, and ran into the house.

"Little sister, little sister, are you there?"

Anle rubbed her ears, put down her pen, stretched, and lazily replied, "Ah, Fourth Sister, why are you back so early today?"

"Hey, school ended early today. The Meng father and son had something to do, so they assigned us some homework and let us come home."

"Hey, is someone here? Who is this person?!" An Ning stared at Yu Rong on the bed and asked in a high-pitched voice, her eyes wide.

Anle turned her head and glanced at Yu Rong lying behind her. Seeing that Yu Rong's eyes were open, she was stunned for a moment. Was he awake?

He then calmly greeted them.

"Oh, you're awake?"

"Hmm, you saved me?"

Anle nodded and sighed.

"Wow, you're really lucky to be alive. I almost thought you were going to die in the mountains."

An Ding, who had just entered, was also taken aback when he saw Yu Rong lying on the bed.

"Little sister, who is this person? Why are they lying on our kang (heated brick bed)?"

Anle slowly folded up the drawings on the table and put them away, then casually and slowly said...

“I didn’t know him either. I just ran into him in the mountains. I saw that he was about to die, so I got someone to carry him back.”

An Yi: "Huh?"

An Ding: "Huh?"

An Ning: "Huh?"

Anjing: "Uh..."

"Oh, right, big sister, there are two wild pheasants we hunted under the stove. You can pluck their feathers clean and stew them."

"It's good to get this kid some chicken soup to drink, to help him recover. He's lost so much blood, his body's probably completely drained."

"No, little sister, what's wrong with this person? How... how come he's about to die?" An Yi blinked and looked at the person lying on the kang, still in a daze, completely confused.

Anle tilted her head and stared at Yu Rong, who was in a daze, for two seconds. Her face showed confusion and bewilderment. "I don't know either. He said he was poisoned by snake venom."

I saw he was covered in blood and almost dead, so I gave him some medicine and had the villagers carry him back.

Anning shouted loudly.

"Huh? Did you get bitten by a snake?"

Anle pursed her lips, glanced at Yu Rong, and changed the subject.

"You guys go and cook, I'm starving."

Once An Yi understood the situation, she didn't press the matter further. Upon hearing about cooking, she excitedly raised her little face, rolled up her sleeves, and got to work with great enthusiasm.

"Alright, let's eat chicken! We can finally have meat today!"

"Come on, big sister, I'll go kill a chicken for you. Let's hurry and stew it before Mom gets back, otherwise she definitely won't let us touch it."

An Ding looked at An Le suspiciously, "Little sister, where did you get this medicine from?"

As soon as An Ding asked the question, Yu Rong's dark eyes stopped glazing and stared intently at An Le, which was also the question in his mind.

Not to mention how such a young girl could possibly have the antidote for black fungus snake venom, and how she just happened to have it with her.

Just take the ebony ear snake venom as an example; there is no antidote for it in the capital of Tianqi.

Anle smiled and curved her eyebrows, feigning innocence as she brushed it off with a casual remark, deliberately changing the subject with a grin.

"Have you forgotten what your sister, me, can do?"

I prayed to the gods for it!

Second brother, how's the inquiry about maps and atlases coming along with Third Brother?

Does Master Meng have it?

An Ding paused for a moment, "I haven't had a chance to ask you yet."

Anle put her hands on her hips.

"Oh, I see. Then what was that all about when you were talking in the yard earlier about Fatty Li saying I was a witch?"
