Chapter 166 She Gets Too Close
"Why don't you leave?" Ning Yue felt strange about Xiao Ruofeng's reaction.

Xiao Ruofeng stood there, clenched the stick tightly in his hand, but refused to take a step forward.

Ning Yue walked around him and stood in front of him with her backpack on her back.

At this time, Ning Yue found that there was a big red poisonous snake crawling over in the grass not far away.

She turned her head and glanced sideways, and caught a glimpse of Xiao Ruofeng's white and flawless forehead with throbbing veins, soaked in sweat, cold eyes, and slightly drooping eyelids.

Very nervous.

Ning Yue felt so funny in her heart, she didn't expect this ice cube to be afraid of snakes.

For her, this snake is full of treasures.

Poison can be made from venom, snake meat can be roasted and eaten, and snake gall can be sold to medical clinics for money.

She mobilized her mental strength and attacked the grass, and then, she was about to pick up the dead snake that had made no sound, but her wrist was firmly grasped by the people behind her.

"Don't go, it's dangerous."

Xiao Ruofeng stretched out a trembling hand and held Ning Yue's wrist in his palm, not wanting her to be hurt by a poisonous snake.

Ning Yue was amused by Xiao Ruofeng's cautious look, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of poisonous snakes, let go of my hand."

Xiao Ruofeng stubbornly refused to let go.

This reminded him of when he was a child, he was imprisoned in a dilapidated palace full of poisonous snakes.

At that time...

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruofeng's ears rang, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.

Ning Yue noticed his unusual behavior, so she turned around and patted him on the back, and comforted him softly in a coaxing tone, "I'm here, don't be afraid, it's okay."

Xiao Ruofeng's buzzing tinnitus disappeared, and a soft voice came into his ears, making him recover from bad memories.

He smelled the faint fragrance of peach blossoms in front of him, and the fear of poisonous snakes disappeared in his heart.

Seeing that he had returned to his usual calm and indifferent attitude, Ning Yue realized that she was getting too close to him, and she was about to fall into his arms.

She quickly took two steps back, the big hand holding her wrist still showed no signs of letting go.

Ning Yue was a little anxious, "My hand hurts so much, please let go."

Her reminder made Xiao Ruofeng, who was immersed in the fragrance of peach blossoms, subconsciously let go of her hand.

Ning Yue lifted her sleeves, only to see a dark circle on her white and slender wrist.

"You are too rude, you will scare away women who like you." Ning Yue put down her sleeves, glanced at him, then walked quickly to the grass, picked up the spoils, and put them in the basket behind her.

Go forward quickly.

"In the future, if you go into the mountains, I will go ahead."

Looking at Ning Yue who was walking in front, Xiao Ruofeng's eyes flashed with embarrassment, he was underestimated by her.

Ning Yue and Xiao Ruofeng were picking flowers in the mountains, and Zhu Qimeng, who was returning home, was being scolded by her mother, Mrs. Lu.

"Qimeng, if you go out and spend money recklessly, I will halve your monthly profit every month from now on."

Mrs. Lu, the county magistrate's wife, was sitting in the main hall, teaching her daughter to save money with a serious face, "For your father's future, most of the money in the family has been given away. When you go out, you should also restrain yourself. Those that are not necessary to buy Don’t buy anything, if you need it, tell mother, mother will give it to you.”

Zhu Qimeng was very dissatisfied when she heard that, "Yes, the mother I need will give it to me, but you didn't threaten the merchants in the city to get those things from them. I won't do such a shameful thing."

After Zhu Qimeng finished speaking, she ran back to her yard angrily.

Her mother is always like this, so that she doesn't have any real friends of the same age, and the ladies from the official family laugh at her behind her back, saying that her mother squeezed out the merchants for her clothes.

Her mother likes to use merchants to seek benefits. Many people know about it, and they don't know who leaked such things.

Seeing that her daughter didn't pay any attention to what she said, Mrs. Lu ran away arrogantly.

She is very angry.

"I have paid so much for this family to live a better life, but, look at them, they all stood up and accused me one by one, saying that I only know how to get into the eyes of money."

Lu dropped the cup in his hand angrily, his face full of anger.

Her husband is just a seventh-rank county magistrate, and his salary is not enough to buy the fancy clothes that his daughter wears all year round. In order to make money, she tried her best to open a shop to earn money, but she has no business experience. Talent, those dowry shops of hers don't make any money at all, what can she do, she can only use her husband's power to deduct money and things from some merchants.

For some reason, these things she did were spread out, and her husband's colleagues and Shangguan knew about them.

It's been a long time since she did this.

The money in the family is getting less and less, and the husband's position still needs a lot of money to deal with.

What can she do?
"Ma'am, don't be angry. Miss doesn't know the situation at home. She will gradually understand you when she grows up."

The old nanny behind Mrs. Lu gave her advice, "Ma'am, you forgot? I heard that the business of that very profitable shop is getting better and better."

After being reminded by the old nanny, Mrs. Lu put away her anger and calmed down to think about what the nanny said.

"That little slut is really good at business. The lip balm she makes is very popular, and the business is good and normal."

She had been staring at that shop for a long time, but in the end, she took advantage of that little bitch.

"Madam, why don't you take the opportunity to snatch that shop back this time, in this case, the master will have all the silver he needs."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu felt that what the nanny said made a lot of sense.

That little slut is only a first-class peasant girl, and she can crush her if she stretches out her fingers.

"Okay, let's do it this way." Mrs. Lu leaned into the nanny's ear and muttered for a while.

"Pay attention to this, madam, let's do it this way." After hearing what Lu said, the old mother happily went out to handle errands.

Ning Yue, who stayed in the mountains, didn't know that someone was thinking about her lipstick shop.

At this time, she was sitting in front of the fire, staring intently at the golden snake meat in Xiao Ruofeng's hand, and she was talking profusely.

Xiao Ruofeng tried his best to stabilize his trembling hands, making himself seem to be calmly roasting snake meat for Ning Yue.

He slowly turned over the bamboo sticks in his hand, sprinkled seasoning evenly on the snake meat, and under Ning Yue's impatient gaze, he handed a bunch of bamboo sticks to Ning Yue, "Eat quickly."

Ning Yue snatched the bamboo stick from his hand, disregarding the heat, bit off a piece of roasted snake meat and ate it with relish.

Xiao Ruofeng saw that she was devoting herself to eating, and he himself felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction, which filled his heart.

"That skewer is ready, you can eat it too." While eating, Ning Yue urged Xiao Ruofeng to eat it too.
