the empty bed beside her, with only a neatly folded thin blanket.Rong Zhaonan, who was sleeping on the edge, is gone.Ning Yuan woke up suddenly. She instinctively sat up and looked at herself.Well, I...Rong Zhaonan looked at her smiling face, lowered his eyes, and said faintly, "We're married, so you should always call me Doctor Rong. Wouldn't others find it strange"

Ning Yuan was stirring the paste with a small brush, and upon hearing this, she was taken aback. Yes, that was too awkward.

She glanced at Rong Zhaonan, hesitated for a while, then asked awkwardly and tentatively, "That... Should I call you Dr. Rong... Or... Anan"

The girl's soft voice calling his name was like a tuft of velvet gently brushing against his skin.

Itchy...

Rong Zhaonan hesitated for a moment, then turned his face away expressionlessly: "Do whatever you want."

Ning Yuan watched his tall and slender profile, somewhat puzzled. This person was really strange, why did he suddenly turn his face gloomy again

Well, the big shots all have weird tempers.

She still eats, eats, eats first — to fill her own belly!

One hour later

Didn't you say you would grill the meat

Standing before a pile of "flesh mountains," Rong Zhaonan looked at Ning Yuan's helpless appearance and frowned slightly.

Ning Yuan sighed: "Come on, big brother, look at this pile of meat! Five wild boars! Enough to feed the whole village. There's no way I can handle it all by myself!"

Just give me ten or eight catties, that's enough! This is almost a thousand catties of meat!

It must take a few days to sell everything, right

And the smoke from the bacon is easily seen by people.

It's no wonder she was confused and hungry just now. Seeing food, she spoke without thinking.

"What should we do now" Rong Zhaonan asked.

Ning Yuan rubbed her temples, thought for a long time: "The best way of course is to sell all this pork and exchange it for money and the tickets we need."

How much money and tickets can so much pork exchange for Hundreds or thousands of dollars at hand.

But that's not possible, they can't handle these wild boars on their own, getting them down the mountain into town.

“Either tell the village head to drag the pig down and have it divided among the villagers, or find someone else.” Ning Yuan added.

She and he, this 'couple in adversity', will still have to live in the village for a while. They owe favors to the villagers, and since the village collective has benefited, they should at least show some consideration for the two of them.

Rong Zhao-nan pondered for a moment: "I can handle one pig. There's an unvisited cave in this mountain where we could smoke the meat and keep it hidden."

Ning Yuan's eyes lit up: "Then we can still raise those wild piglets in the cave! We can have roast suckling pig whenever we need it!"

She squatted down beside a few shivering piglets. "We'll keep one sow and her piglets, and the other four we'll have the village headman take back to the village with his people," she said cheerfully. "Just right!"

Being decisive, Rong Zhaonan picked a wild boar and, along with mountain chickens and hares, quickly and efficiently slaughtered and skinned them. He carried the boar into the cave.

The remaining pigs were left in place, tethered to a tree with hemp rope.

Ning Yuan chased after a few wild piglets at the back, watching him carry over 200 kilograms of pork on the rugged mountain road, walking as if it were flat ground, as if carrying nothing.

She was simply breathtaking. How could he possibly pull off that refined and handsome face while working like a ferocious Zhang Fei!

Inside the cave, Ning Yuan also saw a pile of firewood and plenty of food.

She knew this was Rong Zhaonan's "secret base."

This person is amazing.

By the time she and Rong Zhaonan had built up a fire, all the pork and venison had been cut and hung to dry. It was almost dawn when they finally descended the mountain.

With Rong Zhaonan leading the way, going down the mountain was much faster.

Upon reaching the cowshed, Ning Yuan, overwhelmed by the stench of pig blood and sweat clinging to her body, almost vomited.

"I'm going to boil some water, want to wash together" Rong Zhaonan looked at Ning Yuan's little face scrunching up and asked.ge head recently that you can start arranging houses”Ning Yuan took a bite, then furrowed her graceful brow: "I only saw that there's a land temple near the forest, and it's empty inside. Wouldn't it...
