"The one in your hand is called red amaranth fruit. It tastes sweet, but the peel and core contain a toxin. After eating it, you will feel sore and numb all over. If you eat two of them, your hair will become curled up immediately."
Shen Ning glanced at him and said calmly.
The man's teeth had already bitten the peel, and a stream of sweet juice flowed into his mouth. But after hearing her words, he didn't dare to bite any more.
"Why are the fruits I picked poisonous, but the ones you ate are not poisonous? These two fruits are obviously exactly the same." He stared at the red amaranth fruit in his hand, and then looked at the red fruit in her hand, but he didn't see any difference. .
"My kind is called mountain apple. It is non-toxic. Although it is similar to your red amaranth fruit, it is not exactly the same."
While talking, Shen Ning ate another mountain apple and threw the core away.
The man snorted: "You pretentious little girl, who knows whether your words are true or false? I think I picked mountain apples and red amaranth fruits. I have never heard of them."
He took a bite of the fruit and chewed it a few times. Before he could swallow it, he felt that the tip of his tongue was slightly numb. He was startled and hurriedly spit out the remaining fruit pulp in his mouth.
"Bah, bah, bah, this fruit is not delicious at all." He said bitterly and threw the red amaranth fruit in his hand hard.
He refused to admit in front of Shen Ning that the fruit he picked was poisonous, but said that the fruit was not delicious.
Shen Ning didn't expose it, smiled as if nothing had happened, and walked leisurely.
The man took long strides, leaving her far behind again.
"Hey, are you a cow? You walk so slowly!" He suddenly stopped and turned around and said impatiently.
"If you think I'm walking slowly, you can go first by yourself."
"Little girl, if you can't keep up with me, then you don't blame me. It's not that I broke my promise not to give you the money, it's that you don't want it yourself." The man said angrily.
Shen Ning shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"what ever."
The man couldn't help but feel angry.
He turned around and walked away.
These days, the debtors are the uncles and the creditors are the grandsons.
This was the first time he met such a careless creditor, who didn't even actively ask for money. What on earth did she want to do!
That's a full five thousand taels of silver. Isn't it enough to make her stick behind his ass like a follower
But she actually made a bad face to herself, a debtor, because she clearly didn't want the money!
Humph, it’s something she doesn’t want, but it’s not something she broke her promise and refused to give!
The man comforted himself and quickened his pace. In a blink of an eye, he could no longer even see his shadow.
Shen Ning simply stopped, found a place to sit under the shade of a tree, leaned his back against the big tree, closed his eyes and rested.
She didn't sleep all night, and her energy was almost exhausted. She gritted her teeth and kept walking for most of the day. It wasn't that she didn't want to catch up with the man, but that she really couldn't walk anymore.
After eating a few mountain apples, she felt that her strength seemed to have recovered a little. Now she just wanted to lean on the tree pole and have a good sleep. As for anything else, she didn't think about anything else.
A shadow suddenly fell over her head.
She didn't notice, she closed her eyes, breathed evenly, and fell into sleep.
The man lowered his head and looked at her intently. He bent down so that the tip of his nose was almost touching the tip of her nose. She still didn't sleep at all, sleeping very sweetly.
The man's eyes widened in disbelief.
