86 Could it be that you have someone in your heart?
◎You will definitely die◎
Suddenly, there was some movement in the yard. Ye Yunzhao instinctively hid aside and watched the hateful Sun Da walking away with his teeth bared, holding half a heavy pig leg in his hand and humming an unknown tune.
"Creaky!" It was the sound of Sun Ning closing the door.
Ye Yunzhao was half-squatting, curled up on the side. Only when silence returned did she rub her numb left leg and stand up.
At this moment, she really couldn't understand Sun Ning's behavior. Why did she agree to get married? Is this still Sun Ning? Ye Yunzhao secretly shook his head in his heart. This is not the Sun Ning of the past. It seems that the quiet and introverted Sun Ning is not someone who is willing to compromise.
If she wanted to compromise, she could have done so long ago when the former county magistrate wanted to marry her. Why did she have to move and hide with Sun's father and live in this remote corner of Xixiang?
In short, it's ridiculous!
Ye Yunzhao had always been calm and intelligent, but seeing her best friend jumping into the fire with his eyes open, she couldn't calm down at this moment. Sun Da was a person who could not be trusted no matter what!
When she was wrongfully imprisoned, she wasn't as panicked as she is now. But if she were to rush in rashly and point fingers at Sun Ning, scolding him or questioning him, Ye Yunzhao simply couldn't do it.
Just as she hesitated, there was a "click" sound, and Sun Ning came out.
Before Ye Yunzhao could speak, Sun Ning was startled by the person standing by the wall, but he quickly calmed down and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Ye, why are you here? I was just about to look for you."
As she spoke, she moved her hand forward, and Ye Yunzhao realized that she was holding a large piece of pork belly.
"It's just right that I don't have to go and see you off, here."
Ye Yunzhao sighed inwardly and took off his backpack: "Is your foot injury healed? I forgot to give you the pork bones I bought this morning. Take them back and make some soup."
Sun Ning was surprised and said, "I never thought you were still concerned about my little injury."
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone..." Ye Yunzhao sighed softly, "Take good care of it."
Sun Ning made a gesture of extending his hand, and the two of them walked into the yard one after the other.
The yard was filled with a faint smell of blood. The big fat pig weighing about 300 pounds had already been cut into eight pieces. After the parts were scraped off and sold, there was still a large piece left. Now, Sun Ning had placed it in a wooden barrel and hung it in the cold well.
Ye Yunzhao thought for a long time, and then asked in a roundabout way, "I see that you are very happy today, but what's the good news?"
After hearing this, I don't know what Sun Ning was thinking about. His usually calm face broke into a huge smile, and he said, "I can never keep secrets. How can I not be happy to accidentally hunt a wild boar?"
"Just this one?" Ye Yunzhao asked.
Sun Ning nodded.
"Is there no other good news? Think about it carefully, there is no rush." Ye Yunzhao continued to ask without giving up.
Sun Ning looked as if he was thinking about something. His lips moved slightly, but he said stubbornly, "There's really nothing worth celebrating."
But the curve of her mouth was impossible to ignore. Ye Yunzhao sighed, put the pig bones in the basket into the kitchen, and said with determination: "Yesterday I was in Xixiang to check on the mushroom planting situation, and an aunt asked me to attend her daughter's wedding ceremony."
Sun Ning scalded it with hot water and poured a lot of wild honey into it: "I think they want you to comb the bride's hair."
Ye Yunzhao was stunned. Combing hair?
Seeing her reaction, Sun Ning smiled and explained, "This is a Lingnan custom. On the bride's wedding day, the happiest woman in the village is asked to comb her hair to bring good luck and happiness to her future. However, in recent years, I haven't heard of any girls marrying well or living well, so it's not common."
"But I haven't married yet, so this is really inappropriate." Ye Yunzhao said hurriedly, "I will ask that aunt clearly when I see her again tomorrow. If this is true, I will definitely refuse."
Sun Ning continued, "Don't worry, County Magistrate Ye. An unmarried woman will do. If we can't choose a girl like her, we'll ask Aunt Xiangyun, the village head's daughter, to do it for us. We hope our daughter will be like Aunt Xiangyun, and our son-in-law will be like the village head. In short, we hope for good luck. Now that we've invited you, we naturally hope our daughter will be as promising as you. I'm afraid we'll also hope to give birth to a smart and lovely girl who will study and learn!"
Her explanation was clear and concise, and Ye Yunzhao breathed a sigh of relief. She naturally understood the common people's desire for good fortune and said with a smile, "If that's the case, I will definitely give her a big red envelope when the time comes..."
Ye Yunzhao changed the subject and asked indirectly, "I see that you are about the same age as that girl. Why haven't you found a sweetheart yet? If you can't bring yourself to live alone now, I'll talk to the village head and ask Aunt Xiangyun to act like a matchmaker and find you a loyal and kind man."
Sun Ning's face suddenly turned red. The tall figure appeared in her mind, and the man's deep voice seemed to be right next to her ear.
Ye Yunzhao had, after all, been through the 21st century. Even if he hadn't eaten pork, how could he have never seen a pig run? She knew instantly from Sun Ning's expression: she was in love.
"Could it be that you have someone in your heart? Whose family is it? I will ask Aunt Xiangyun to help find out later." Ye Yunzhao was delighted. If she really had someone in her heart, then the man that Sun Da mentioned must not be the right one. Thinking in this way, she must be deliberately teasing him.
Seeing her curious face, Sun Ning immediately lowered his head and said, "County Magistrate Ye, don't talk nonsense..."
Ye Yunzhao asked curiously, "Why are you still hiding this from me? Tell me quickly, which family does it belong to?"
Sun Ning looked at her and suddenly realized that the age difference between them was very small. At the moment, they seemed to be as close as real sisters.
She blushed, lowered her head and shook it.
"You don't know?" Ye Yunzhao asked again.
She nodded.
Ye Yunzhao's eyes widened. Isn't this the love at first sight scene from the storybooks? Why does it sound just as unreliable as the person Sun Da introduced?
She couldn't help herself and asked, "Since you have someone in your heart, why did you tell Sun Da that you want to get married? I know you are so smart and you will not sacrifice your life. But...but Sun Da is really not someone who can be easily dealt with. If he had forced you to marry, would you have thought of a way to deal with it?"
A series of words hit Sun Ning, and the shyness she had just felt like a little girl naturally disappeared. She was slightly startled, a little surprised: "You...you heard everything..."
Ye Yunzhao nodded and said, "Yes... I accidentally overheard your conversation just now. I'm really sorry, but this matter concerns your happiness for the rest of your life. I have already considered you and I to be friends, and I really can't bear to watch you jump into the fire pit."
Sun Ning's eyes lit up, as if he had made up his mind, and he uttered a few words: "Trust me, I have a way."
Having said this, Ye Yunzhao felt that he had nothing to regret and no longer had the interest to ask further questions.
Sun Ning took her hand and said firmly, "Since you have decided that you and I are friends, please believe me. I will not gamble with my marriage."
Seeing her eyes so determined and her expression so confident, Ye Yunzhao was speechless and could only say, "If there is anything you can't solve, you must tell me. Don't resist."
The two smiled at each other, and Sun Ning nodded firmly.
When it was time to prepare dinner, Ye Yunzhao accidentally mentioned that Madam Cuihua had been vomiting non-stop. With a hint of sadness on his face, he murmured:
"It's a pity that it's deep winter now. If it were spring, I could go to the mountains and pick some mint to calm her nausea."
Sun Ning put the chopped meat into the pot and asked curiously, "Mint? What is it? How could it be so magical?"
She had certainly seen the vomiting of pregnant women. They would vomit whatever they ate, completely losing their former spirit. They sat listlessly on the bed. What's worse, they would vomit all the acid in their stomachs before even eating.
Because of these reasons, Sun Ning has been particularly resistant to getting married and having children since she was a child, but she never expected that there would be such a magical thing in this world.
Ye Yunzhao was stunned, remembering that the morels here were called weaving mushrooms, and explained in detail: "It has green leaves. If it grows well, it can form a whole leaf. It tastes cool. Freshly picked mint has a special aroma, but I don't know if it will bloom..."
Before she could finish her words, Sun Ning tilted his head and asked, "Could it be that you are talking about Yexixiang?"
This time it was Ye Yunzhao's turn to be confused, but Sun Ning reacted quickly, stuffed the spatula into her hand, and hurried to the main room.
After a while, she brought back a small clay pot and took out a handful of brown-green leaves that had been wrinkled by the sun. "Look, is this it? When you said it tastes cool, I immediately remembered..."
Ye Yunzhao picked up a piece and rubbed it twice. The unique cool aroma of mint instantly filled the entire kitchen. She put it in her mouth as if to confirm again and again, and her eyes lit up instantly: "This is it!"
"Here." Sun Ning smiled and handed her the pot. "At the beginning of summer, I dried a lot of night-scented incense, thinking of using it to make tea. Now there's still quite a bit left. County Magistrate Ye, if it can relieve Madam Cuihua's symptoms, that would be great. But... is this thing really that magical? I've never seen anyone eat it..."
Ye Yunzhao didn't refuse. The last time he saw Madam Cuihua vomiting, her state was too bizarre. Now that he had mint, he could make some special meals for her. "The unique aroma of the night-breathing incense can relieve some of the pain. Although it's only a little, it's better than vomiting all day long."

After she left, Sun Ning moved a small wooden stool and sat in front of the main room door to look at the moon.
The moon was bright tonight, and the cold wind of deep winter was a bit biting, but she didn't care. She just felt hot all over, and the heat mixed with the desire for revenge in her heart rushed straight to her head.
Sun Ningshu let out a breath of hot air, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. When she thought of her brother who was not worthy of being a human being, she suddenly felt a twisted sense of pleasure in her heart, and secretly vowed:
This time, you will definitely die.
