Chapter 171 Sister and brother talk
"Ah, sister?"
Song Zeyuan slapped his face hard and looked at Song An Ning with disbelief in his eyes.
He's not dead? How could that be?
Song An Ning didn't say anything and looked at him expressionlessly. The little brat was young, but he had already learned how to prepare for death. Who knew who he learned it from?
Seeing that his sister didn't say anything, Song Zeyuan returned to his aloof look, and didn't say anything either. He lowered his head and clasped the barb on his hand.
"How does it feel to have died once?"
"..."
Although he lowered his head, his face was still full of panic. How did his sister know everything? He hadn't told anyone about this, not even Ah Yue...
"Sister, I..."
Song An Ning glanced at him and took out a bamboo tube from a small basket beside her, which contained some warm lean meat porridge.
"Drink this first, then I'll take you somewhere."
"Where?"
Eat first. How can it feel good to be so hungry that your stomach hurts?
Song Zeyuan took the bamboo tube and suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he felt a stomachache. It turned out that it was either the poison or hunger.
But if he drank a full bottle of poison, would the poison slowly take effect? Would he still be unable to escape death?
It would be better for him to take advantage of the last time to get along well with his sister, so that he can die without regrets.
He was sipping porridge here, and Song An Ning took out an egg from the bamboo basket, peeled it, and put it on a small plate.
"Here's some porridge and some side dishes. If you have anything to say, you should finish eating first."
"Well, thank you, sister."
He felt his cheeks burning. Yesterday he had sworn to his elder sister that he could live well away from home, but less than a day later, he was eating his elder sister's food again.
Although he was young, he still had self-respect, and this feeling was really hard to bear. But he hadn't eaten for a day and was really hungry. He couldn't help but smell the delicious meat porridge.
On the other side of the mountain, there is an iron mine. Ali discovered this place a few years ago. The iron in Wanhetang’s warehouse also came from here.
After Wei Shisan returned, several small stewards bowed to him respectfully. He had been a quiet man before, so his silence at this moment was not surprising to anyone.
"How many people are still working in the mine? How many have died in the past two days?"
After he asked this question, one of the stewards took out three booklets with a smile and handed them to him happily.
"My lord, it's all here. I can explain it to you in detail."
"No need, get out."
"Yes, I'll get going now. I'm already getting going..."
Xiangxiang imitated his previous way of controlling Wei Shisan, and she imitated 90% of his tone of voice and attitude.
"Master, your father's name is Song Feng, right?"
"Yes, let Wei Shisan see where my father is now?"
Wei Shisan opened the booklet and looked through it bit by bit, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find Song Feng's name on it.
"Change to the next one. Su Chen's information should be correct. Let Wei Shisan look through it carefully."
"But the book he's holding now belongs to a dead person. Master, are you sure you want to read it?"
Anything could happen if she stayed in the mine for one more day. It was like the black coal mines in her previous life, where human lives were the least valuable. She had already made preparations for the worst.
The waiting time at this moment is extremely long, and every second is particularly unbearable.
Song Zeyuan had finished his meal. Seeing his elder sister sitting there, he silently got out of bed to fetch some water, washed the dishes he had used and put them in a bamboo basket.
"Sister, I'm done eating and the dishes are clean. Where are we going?"
"follow me."
After Song An Ning asked Xiangxiang to keep an eye on Wei Shisan, she walked out of the room and headed up the mountain. Song Zeyuan followed her closely. Before, he and his sister always held hands when they went out, and now he also wanted to hold his sister's hand, but he was a little embarrassed.
They climbed over one mountain after another, and the brother and sister didn't talk much along the way. Song Zeyuan didn't know where his sister was taking him, so he could only follow her laboriously.
Song Anning had walked this road to the valley many times. At his current speed, he would arrive in half an hour, but because of Song Zeyuan, it took more than an hour.
"Look, this is where my sister plants the pepper seedlings. How's the view?"
Song Zeyuan looked around, squatted beside the stream and put his hand into the cold water. It rained last night and the water was a little turbid, but it was still icy cold, bringing a chill to his body.
"It looks good, much better than our back mountain."
I saw a large field of peppers on the mountain. Some of them had already borne fruit, while others had just sprouted from the soil. It was obvious that my sister had been here many times.
When he looked back, he saw Song Anning sitting on a big rock, waving at him:
"Come and sit."
Song Zeyuan was like a curious baby, feeling curious about everything in the valley. When he heard Song Anning calling him, he trotted back and sat on the rock.
He thought his sister wanted to tell him what happened yesterday, but Song An Ning just asked him to close his eyes.
"Take a deep breath, don't think about anything, and calm your mind."
Song Zeyuan turned his head to look at his sister and did as he was told.
Don’t think about anything, just the rustling of the wind through the leaves, the gurgling of the brook flowing happily, and the singing of birds in the mountains.
Breathing in the fresh air, Song Zeyuan felt that time had stopped at this moment. He didn't have to think about anything or face anything. It was so nice.
I just took poison and am about to die. Being buried in the mountains after death is also a good choice.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
After a long time, he saw that Song An Ning still didn't speak, so he asked this question softly while lying on the large stone slab.
Song Anning also lay down beside him and said softly:
"I was wondering, if there wasn't that man in black, would our Ayuan still be that good boy?"
"!"
When Song Zeyuan heard what she said, he quickly sat up from the stone, his face full of panic.
"Sister, you know everything? How did you know?"
He thought of many possibilities in his mind. Did the man in black also find his sister and use the same method to threaten her?
"Well, I also know that you took the medicine that person gave you. After taking it, you became irritable, extremely excited, and couldn't control yourself. The most terrifying thing is that if you don't take it for a few days, you still think about it.
Am I right? "
"Yes Yes……"
"Then why didn't you tell your sister about this?"
"..."
"Do you know why that man arrested people?"
"I don't know, but I don't think it's a good thing."
After the rain, the stones were damp. Song Anning no longer lay there, but sat beside him, staring at him straight in the eyes. This made Song Zeyuan feel uneasy, and he quickly stood up.
I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but the feeling that my sister gives now is even scarier than that man in black.
"Sit down here and I'll tell you a story. Once you understand everything, you'll understand."
"Okay, sister, you go ahead and I'll listen carefully."
