Not far away, a few little kids who looked two years older than Xiao Ruyu were squatting on the ground playing.

Xiao Ruyu's gaze was unconsciously attracted over there. She lay in Eleven's arms, stretching her neck to look back.

Eleven noticed her movements and put her down.

"Little princess, if you want to go out and play, go ahead. It won't be a problem if Eleven is here to watch over you."

[Not really, I don’t think I’ve seen that thing before.]

Xiao Ruyu walked with her short legs and approached the little baby cautiously.

I saw them holding a small jar and chanting some incomprehensible spells.

After the spell was finished, several bugs of various shapes crawled out of the jar.

Xiao Ruyu felt distressed and was about to turn around and run away, but she saw those kids starting to chant spells again.

The insect actually lay down obediently and moved south and north according to the baby's gestures.

Is this, the art of controlling insects?

The bug seemed to understand the spell and walked around the pattern drawn by the doll on the ground.

The performance of this witchcraft is actually different from spiritual power!

Xiao Ruyu came over curiously and asked in a baby voice.

"How did you make it so obedient?"

The leading little kid was very enthusiastic. He pulled Xiao Ruyu's hand and pointed at the bugs on the ground.

"Look, this is my poisonous insect, its name is A Zhuang."

"A Zhuang... does this bug have a name?" Xiao Ruyu became more and more interested and moved closer.

Doctor Yang had just finished discussing with the village chief when he turned around and saw Xiao Ruyu squatting with a group of little kids.

Seeing this, the village chief smiled gently, "Little kids just play together. Look at your kid, he doesn't seem to be giving birth."

While carefully fiddling with the poisonous insect, Xiao Ruyu heard the words of the village chief.

She raised her head and glanced at the village chief, muttering to herself.

【I am not a child. 】

As soon as she finished muttering, Xiao Ruyu turned her head and met Eleven's gaze.

She immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, her cheeks flushed a little, and she scratched her head unconsciously.

[Eleven! Why are you still eavesdropping on other people's inner thoughts! ]

Eleven couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips a little. He walked over and squatted beside her, gently ruffling her hair.

"The village chief is right. The little princess has the mind of a child."

[Then Eleven, go away and stop playing with us "kids". ]

Xiao Ruyu pouted and pretended to be angry as she pushed Eleven away.

Eleven obediently moved aside, but did not leave her sight. He stood aside with his arms folded across his chest, watching her play with his eyebrows slightly raised.

Xiao Ruyu took this opportunity to stroll around the village.

The girl from a few days ago also came over to apologize, she looked innocent and spoke a little embarrassedly.

"I really misunderstood you that day, don't be angry, little kid."

Although she still had some grudges in her heart, Xiao Ruyu did not show it, but instead turned her gaze to the poisonous insect she was controlling in her hand.

Seeing that she was curious about this, the girl thought she had found an opportunity to coax her, so she reached out and picked her up.

"This is the poisonous insect I raised. It can heal wounds."

The girl caught a glimpse of the scratches on Eleven's body from the corner of her eye and waved at him.

"This wound must have been caused in that forest. Since it's our fault, let me help you heal it."

Eleven originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw Xiao Ruyu winking at him, he obediently stretched out his arm.

[Eleven, let her treat me. I want to see the difference between this witchcraft and spiritual power.]

Xiao Ruyu looked at the scene in front of her expectantly.

The girl gently lifted Eleven's clothes and placed the insect on the wound.

Eleven subconsciously retracted his arm, "Is this bug non-toxic?"

"If it's a treatment, how can it be poisonous?" The girl chuckled and her hands moved more gently.

After the poisonous insect attached to Eleven's wound, the girl crossed her hands and chanted a spell.

Her brows were tightly furrowed and her hands' movements were changing rapidly.

Driven by the spell, the insect circled around the wound.

Eleven felt a cool sensation and when he looked down, he found that the wound had healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The girl took back the insect and smiled, "That's good now. I just need to be more careful next time."

Xiao Ruyu silently memorized the spell and gestures, secretly delighted.

[Eleven, I've learned it, they rely on these spells to drive the Gu worms.]

She looked at the poisonous insect on the ground, grinned, and called to the girl sweetly, "Sister, this insect is so powerful. If my brother gets hurt in the future, I hope I can heal him."

The girl looked at her harmless appearance and her heart softened.

"The treatment is simple. How about I teach you?"

She said this in a low voice and looked around, but there was no one else in the village.

Xiao Ruyu's eyes lit up, and he hugged the girl's face and kissed her, "Really? Then I can treat my brother's wounds in the future."

Eleven was stunned, holding his forehead with his hand, and couldn't help but admire Xiao Ruyu's move.

The girl led Xiao Ruyu to the tank where the poisonous insects were raised, pointed at the poisonous insects inside and asked her to pick one.

"These poisonous insects all belong to the master. Pick one you like, little kid."

Xiao Ruyu leaned over to look and saw the poisonous insects in the jar surging up like a tide.

They have different shapes, and it's dazzling at first glance.

She took two steps back, her scalp tingling, and she almost sat down due to her legs going weak.

Eleven hurriedly supported her and explained to the bewildered girl beside him,

"My sister has been afraid of insects since she was a child, don't worry."

Xiao Ruyu was extremely depressed. She wanted to get closer to the bugs, but she couldn't stop feeling scared.

【11. I can’t help but get scared when I see those bugs.】

She buried herself in Eleven's arms with grievance, feeling a little depressed.

"Forget it, little princess, don't make things difficult for yourself anymore." Eleven whispered in her ear.

Xiao Ruyu wandered around the village for an entire afternoon and returned to the courtyard where he stayed at sunset.

"Are you finally willing to come back?" Doctor Yang's smiling voice came from inside the house.

Smelling the aroma of the food, Xiao Ruyu sat down on the chair.

"Xiao Hu just brought the food over, and you came back right after smelling the smell."

Doctor Yang handed her the bowl and chopsticks, and said with a hint of teasing, "Didn't the little princess say she was scared? And you came back at this hour?"

"Be careful that bad guys kidnap the little princess and throw her into the woods!"

Xiao Ruyu stuck out her tongue, disapprovingly, stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth, and spoke incoherently.

"I have Eleven to protect me."

She raised her eyebrows, her pride evident in her expression.

[However, I originally wanted to secretly learn some witchcraft today, but I didn't expect that I would have to catch a bug first. ]

Thinking of the dense swarms of insects during the day, Xiao Ruyu suddenly lost his appetite.

She put down her chopsticks angrily, held her chin with her little hand, and looked worried.
