Anle looked at Yu Rong and asked, "You want to stay here?"
Yu Rong finally shifted his gaze from the chessboard to An Le's face, remained silent for three seconds, and then nodded.
"Come out with me first."
Qiao Qiuniang tugged at Anle's sleeve, worried, "Lewa—"
Anle rolled her eyes. Why did her mother always side with outsiders?
"Oh, Mother, don't worry, I won't bully him." Besides, if she wanted to bully this boy, he would have to be willing to let her do it first.
Outside the courtyard, Anle found a secluded spot, stared at Yu Rong, and questioned her.
"What do you want? Why do you want to stay in my house? What is your purpose?"
Yu Rong lowered his eyes and looked directly at An Le, without hiding anything.
"I want the antidote, the antidote for black fungus snake venom."
Anle was stunned. "An antidote?"
Looking at Yu Rong with a puzzled expression, An Le scrutinized him suspiciously.
"I know you were poisoned, but the poison has already been neutralized, so why do you need the antidote?"
Yu Rong remained silent.
Anle waited for five seconds, and seeing that Yu Rong showed no intention of speaking, she sighed and rubbed her forehead.
"Ha... I'm really defeated by you. You mean you'll leave immediately if I give you the antidote?"
Yu Rong nodded and obediently agreed.
"Um."
Anle blinked, pondered for a moment, and tentatively asked.
"What do you need the antidote for?"
Are you not the only one who has been poisoned?
Are there other people who have been poisoned?
But if there were other people who had been poisoned by this, they would be dead by now, wouldn't they?
"The poison you were given seems quite potent. If we hadn't treated you then, there might be no chance to save you now, right?"
Yu Rong pursed her lips. "It's another kind of poison. It's said to contain a small amount of venom extracted from the venom of the black fungus snake."
Although it can poison people, it will not kill them immediately. It is a slow poison that will have effects on a daily basis, but it will take a month for the poison to take effect and cause death.
If it's the antidote meant to save me, perhaps it can cure the poison.
Anle frowned. "Huh? This is just your own guess, isn't it?"
Everyone says to treat the symptoms, but how can you just grab any medicine to detoxify? You're playing with people's lives!
Besides, I only tried saving you as a last resort. I thought you were beyond saving, so I just tried it out of desperation, and I never expected it would actually bring you back to life.
Yu Rong pulled open his collar, revealing his chest.
"Before you saved me, there was a dark red poison mark here. Once the poison spread to the heart, the person would die. But after you saved me, the mark disappeared."
That's why I think your antidote should be able to cure this chronic poison.
Anle stared at Yu Rong's fair chest; it was smooth and flawless, without any signs of poisoning.
"Uh... so you've been poisoned by this slow-acting poison?"
Yu Rong shook his head and then nodded.
"Although there are also slow-acting poisons, what almost killed me was the venom of the black fungus snake, a slow-acting poison, and it was still half a month before it took to take effect."
Anle scratched his head. "As for the antidote, it's not that I can't give it to you. If it's for saving a life, then of course it's good."
I just don't want to get into any trouble or get involved in any complicated matters by giving you the antidote.
If I give you the antidote, can you guarantee you won't involve me in any trouble?
If it would cause trouble for me and my family, then I'm not going to play the peacemaker.
“…” Yu Rong lowered his eyes and fell silent.
Anle glared at Yu Rong, "See? I knew this would happen. Why aren't you saying anything? Did I just say the right thing?"
Sure enough, trouble is brewing!
I don't want to give it to you. Let whoever dies, die. Just don't let me die.
I was hoping you'd stay, but it seems that's not an option. You should leave now; I can't keep you here, it would only cause big trouble.
Anle changed her mind and turned to leave.
Yu Rong grabbed An Le's thin arm.
"How will you give it to me? I'll agree to anything I can do."
Anle glanced back at Yu Rong and muttered something.
"You're honest; at least you didn't lie to me."
"You are my benefactor, I'm not lying to you."
Anle scratched his head, looking troubled and troubled.
"You've seen my situation. My family is just an ordinary farming family. If we really get into any trouble, I can't afford to mess with them."
Compared to other people's lives, I certainly care more about my own.
You're so quiet and don't say anything. I have no idea what's going on here. Faced with this unknown trouble, I'm even more panicked.
What do you want me to do? I can't risk my own life, and the lives of my family, to save complete strangers, can I?
Anle tried to persuade Yu Rong with reason and emotion, hoping to convince him to leave willingly.
This world is so terrible, and human life is as worthless as grass, she has to live very carefully.
Yu Rong pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak for a long while.
"Okay, I'll leave."
If things remain as they are, no one will be in danger.
However, if he were to obtain the antidote from this child to save someone, and that person found out he was still alive, that person would definitely not let him go.
His gaze lingered on Anle's face for a moment, and he knew that she, too, would be drawn into his schemes and become a victim of that man's ambition.
