Ning Hong was still in great pain; such a profound awakening was indeed something that not everyone could handle.
Seeing his brother in such distress, Anman simply slung the heavy sword behind his back, picked up Ning Hongze, and ran down the mountain.
Ning Hongze: "—"
Wait, it looks a bit ugly to hold him like that.
At least carry it on your back.
But seeing the heavy sword on Amman's back, he couldn't say those words.
"The herbs we picked have all spilled. I'll pick them up later, but it's okay even if we don't."
"Yes, it doesn't matter." They're rich now; they just robbed a wealthy person.
That kid can afford to be a Moonlight Dragon, he must be rich.
Look at these gold coins, there are over a hundred of them, and quite a few silver coins too. With this much money, they can buy a house in town.
Anman pulled Ning Hong and headed straight for the pharmacy owned by the mayor's wife.
"Look, it's that idiot again."
"Are you going to ask for credit again?!"
"I guess you didn't see it, she carried the idiot inside."
"I don't know what happened to them, they were covered in wounds."
"Why do you care about them? They must be some idiots who caused trouble again and dragged Amman into it."
An is pitiful; she's being held back by such a fool and can't get married.
"that is."
These people all had some feelings for Amman.
However, when she came to propose marriage, Anman proposed that she would bring her brother with her when she got married, and that after the marriage, her brother would be her primary caregiver.
These words immediately made many people back down.
Men who are attracted to Amman are usually drawn to his abilities. However, Amman's insistence on supporting such an idle fool makes him a burden rather than an asset.
They had tried to persuade Amman many times, but Amman just wouldn't listen.
Why is Amman so stubborn?
"I heard that Brother Anman became like this back then because he saved Anman. Otherwise, he would have been a very powerful person back then."
Who would know such a thing?
"Wait, shouldn't the mayor's wife be about to kick Aman and the others out?"
"I reckon they're going to start arguing again soon."
Just as I'd expected these past few days, the mayor's wife couldn't help but roll her eyes several times whenever she saw Aman.
"Here you go again. If you don't have money, don't keep going to the doctor. Your brother is like this, it's no use going to the doctor anymore. You might as well save the money and take care of yourself."
She wore an old suit of armor all day long. She didn't look like a woman at all.
To be honest, the mayor's wife was somewhat envious of Aman.
They're both the same size, so why does Amman have such great strength?
If it weren't for his foolish brother dragging her down, she would have wanted to ask her son to marry Anman.
"To get medicine and save lives."
Amman took out two gold coins.
Upon seeing the gold coins, the mayor's wife raised an eyebrow in confusion.
Where did you get the money?
"This is my own business. Madam, you don't mean to suggest a way for me to make money, do you?"
"Who cares about your little bit of money?" The mayor's wife touched the purple crystal she was wearing on her ear.
"See this? This was given to me by my son. If you had listened to me and thrown away your stupid brother, what wouldn't you have wanted?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get my brother treated right away."
The mayor's wife wanted to say more, but suddenly a chill ran down her spine. It was a feeling of panic, like being watched by a wolf.
She looked around and met Ning Hongze's sinister eyes.
It was because of an idiot.
No, a man with that kind of vision couldn't possibly be a fool.
"Amman, get the money back, let's go."
You need treatment.
"I'm fine."
His mind was gradually accepting those things. The excruciating pain in his head was also gradually disappearing.
"I don't need to look anymore. It's you who's covered in injuries."
The wounds weren't deep, just superficial injuries, but because there were so many of them, they looked rather pitiful.
"Show it to my sister." Ning Hongze's words were still not very clear.
However, the expression on his face was enough for the mayor's wife to sense that he had returned to normal.
"To treat my sister's illness," Ning Hongze added.
The voice was soft, yet each word struck the mayor's wife's heart like a hammer blow.
"I know, I know."
Everyone found it strange that day.
Amman and her mentally challenged brother have been in the clinic for some time now, but there has been no progress. Because of her brother's mental disability, Amman has been in and out of the clinic many times, but the mayor's wife does not treat her every time.
For example, once Ning Hongze was so sick he was almost dying, with a persistent high fever, but the mayor's wife refused to treat him. It was only thanks to the passing priest that he was able to get help; otherwise, the idiot would probably be dead.
They might just become even more foolish.
That's what the maid at the mayor's wife's shop said, telling her not to waste the medicinal herbs.
After the priest left, Amman began collecting herbs and selling them to pharmacies, which allowed him to earn some money.
Even if the mayor's wife disliked Aman, she wouldn't withhold her money for the sake of her own reputation.
What happened?
"No movement?"
"Could that idiot be seriously injured this time?"
"I don't think so."
Just as everyone was discussing this, Ning Hong came out carrying Anman on her back.
What happened?
Did they see wrong? Wasn't Amman carrying the idiot in just now? How come now the idiot is carrying Amman out? Who's injured, the idiot or Amman?
"My brother's back is so warm."
Amman buried her face in Ning Hongze's back.
She has been really tired all these years.
She never imagined that her brother would recover one day. She could even lie on his back like she did when she was little.
My brother's back is still as strong as it was when he was a child, which makes me feel safe.
"Brother, I feel very happy."
"I will make you this happy every day from now on."
Just by saying this, Ning Hong could feel the pleasure in her body.
The original owner truly loved his younger sister.
Of course, such a younger sister is indeed heartbreaking.
"With your older brother here, no one will ever bully you again."
Ning Hong then made a promise.
So she no longer needs to wear armor every day, and can wear a dress like other girls. She no longer needs to carry that heavy sword at night and keep her eyes open until dawn at the slightest sound.
"Yes." Amman nodded heavily, tears unknowingly wetting her face.
She suddenly felt very wronged.
Feeling the dampness on her back, Ning Hong paused for a moment, then continued walking.
Over the years, Amman has suffered a lot. If given the choice, who would want to be a tough woman? It's precisely because no one pampers her that she needs to stand on her own two feet and be strong.
