An Ding's face darkened.
"It's nothing, don't listen to that kid's nonsense. He never talks about anything serious, nobody listens to him."
Anle's smile was a little cold.
"If someone suddenly calls me a witch, even if it's nonsense, it must have come from his mother, right?"
Otherwise, where would that chubby kid get all those complicated thoughts in his head? Tch, he even knows about witches?
An Ning grumbled and complained in dissatisfaction.
"Little sister, I'll go to the school tomorrow and beat up that fat Li Da Pang to avenge you."
Anle sighed.
"Forget it, Fourth Sister, let's not cause trouble. Let's save our parents some worry. Making a scene at school won't be good for your reputation either."
An Ning wrinkled her nose. "He got off too easy, but Third Brother has already avenged you."
He had crickets hidden in his satchel, and his third brother complained about it.
Master Meng was furious and received quite a few beatings from him.
That ruler of Mencius was so wide and so long, it made his buttocks swell up from all the beatings!
His crying could be heard from far away outside the classroom; it was like a ghost wailing. He grinned smugly at Anle, his face full of schadenfreude.
Anle chuckled, glanced out the window, and seemed a little uneasy.
"Fourth Sister, go to the next courtyard and see how our parents are doing. They've been talking for almost noon, isn't that going on for too long?"
An Ning waved her hand.
"They'll definitely stay for a meal before they leave; that's how it is in our village when people are discussing marriage."
"Oh, is that so? Then Fourth Sister, go and bring your little brother back so he can go home and have some meat."
"Okay!" An Ning happily slipped out of the inner room.
An Ding glanced at Yu Rong and asked, "Um, where do you live? Should I take you home after dinner? Or should I send a message to your family to let them know someone is coming to pick you up?"
Yu Rong pursed her lips and remained silent.
That expressionless face, and the silence that followed, left An Ding looking utterly embarrassed.
"Uh...you came all the way to the mountains and haven't been back for a long time. Aren't your family worried?"
Yu Rong: "..." He had nowhere else to go.
Anle sighed and said, "Second brother, let's talk about this after we eat. You go out and help kill the chickens first."
It seems that this kid's situation is not as simple as she initially thought, that he was just bitten by a poisonous snake in the mountains.
She guessed that someone had poisoned her; that was the most likely outcome she could think of.
She had already checked every part of his body that she could, and there were no wounds at all.
She needs to get rid of this person properly.
"Okay." An Ding didn't ask anything more and simply went out.
Once the room was empty, Anle turned and smiled at Yu Rong. Their eyes met, but Anle didn't mention a word about how Yu Rong had been poisoned.
"I said, how is your health now?"
Can you get up now?
Okay, let's leave now.
I saved you, so I'm your benefactor.
I'm not asking you to repay any kindness, I just want you to leave as soon as possible. Is that too much to ask?
How did you know I was poisoned by black fungus snake venom?
Do you have an antidote for black fungus snake venom?
How could it be such a coincidence that he happened to be there with the antidote for ebony fungus?
Anle stared directly at Yu Rong with pure eyes, her smile gone.
"You have so many questions. First of all, I don't know what kind of snake venom you were poisoned by."
Secondly, meeting you was indeed a coincidence.
Third, the fact that the medicine saved you was pure luck; you were simply fortunate to have survived thanks to the medicine, that's all.
Finally, if you hadn't grabbed my ankle, I wouldn't have noticed you at all in that grassy patch, and there wouldn't have been this coincidence of saving you.
In short, I just tried my luck and happened to save your life, it's that simple.
Compared to yours, which is not simple at all, this is quite straightforward and easy to understand. He paused, then added, "Do you have any more questions?"
"Is it really that simple?"
Anle raised an eyebrow. "Otherwise what? What do you think a little girl from a mountain village like me could possibly want from you?"
Is it for money or for sex?
You probably don't have any money on you, do you?
"Tuse, your face, which is neither stunningly beautiful nor breathtakingly so, is far inferior to my third brother's friends; they're not even in the same league."
Yu Rong's expression flashed with a stiff and strange look.
Is the articulate little girl he's talking to really only five or six years old?
He was extremely suspicious.
This is simply an anomaly among five- or six-year-old children.
"I'll trust you for now."
Anle yawned lazily and said a couple of lukewarm words in a casual manner.
"Alright, alright, nobody cares about you. Don't think too highly of yourself."
Don't even mention what we want from you. Nobody in our village knows who you are.
That's just you being overly self-conscious.
Okay, now it's your turn to answer my question: When are you leaving?
Yu Rong fell silent again.
"Hey, why don't you say something? Why are you so quiet when I ask you?" Anle laughed angrily, put her hands on her hips, and kicked Yu Rong.
Yu Rong pretended to be dead, closing his eyes and ignoring Anle.
Anle suppressed her temper and her face fell.
"Damn it, I've never seen such an unreasonable and uncooperative person like you. You're just going to stay here, aren't you?"
Yu Rong: "..."
