Ruan Xi insisted, and Ruan Ping had no choice. He couldn't get in, so he could only watch Ruan Xi's figure disappear in front of him.
But Ruan Ping didn't dare to leave, so he just stayed there, waiting for Ruan Xi to come out and go home together.
As a result, just as this idea popped into his mind, Ruan Xi's head popped out from mid-air, scaring him so much that he almost couldn't breathe, and his face turned red.
"Brother, you go home first and help me keep an eye on my grandmother. Don't let anyone harm her again, okay?" Ruan Xi was not actually worried that those who poisoned the old lady would do something else. After all, it had come to this point. If he took action again, it would be superfluous and would increase the risk of exposing himself. Those people were not stupid and would definitely not rush to expose themselves. He just wanted to use this excuse to trick Ruan Ping back home first.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ruan Ping's expression immediately became nervous. He nodded seriously and said, "I understand. I will protect my grandmother!"
After he finished speaking, he clenched his fist and waved it in the air, looking like he was ready to fight anyone at any time, which almost made Ruan Xi laugh.
"Okay, I'm relieved that you're looking after my grandma. Go back quickly. I'm leaving now." This time, Ruan Xi really left without looking back. Ruan Ping waited there for a long time, and walked home with a little melancholy in his heart.
On the other side, Ruan Xi was strolling around in the mountains and forests as if he was taking a leisurely walk in the garden. On the one hand, he could observe the terrain, and on the other hand, he was looking for herbs.
It has to be said that every mountain and forest is a treasure house, and the gifts from nature are always worth being grateful for.
Since he didn't bring a backpack, Ruan Xi made a backpack out of rattan and searched for herbs by referring to the medicinal material atlas on his personal terminal. As a wood-type mutant, he was basically immune to plant toxicity, so he boldly tasted hundreds of herbs directly and discovered many herbs that he was familiar with.
Here we have to mention the mystery of nature. The world has changed dramatically, but even though the shape and smell of herbs have changed dramatically, the intrinsic medicinal properties have been perfectly passed down. As he discovered more and more familiar medicinal properties, Ruan Xi's eyes became brighter.
Ruan Xi was so busy that he forgot himself. When his ankle was suddenly caught, he was unable to react and fell flat on his face with a thud.
Ruan Xi: “…”
Big Tree: “…”
"Xiao Xi, I didn't mean it. I just wanted to scare you..." The Tree of Life came over when it saw that Ruan Xi was not coming back. However, he hinted at her several times, but Ruan Xi still only had the herbs in her eyes. He felt a little jealous and wanted to play a little prank to attract Ruan Xi's attention, but ended up causing Ruan Xi to fall flat on his face.
Ruan Xi: "..." He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Wouldn't it be nice to pat him on the shoulder? Did he have to roll his ankles? Or roll them twice at once? It would be strange if he didn't fall!
"Alright, alright, I don't blame you." The branch wrapped around his ankle had quietly been removed. Ruan Xi said with a smile, and patted the branch that was rubbing against him soothingly. "Wait a moment, I'll pick some more herbs. This herb is good for treating internal injuries. Isn't there an unconscious patient here?"
Ruan Xi is not interested in handsome guys, but he is interested in the injured, the more difficult to treat the better!
"You've been out for too long, I'm worried about you..." Run away!
The tree silently swallowed the rest of its words and just extended its branches obediently to wrap around Ruan Xi's shoulders. Ruan Xi immediately noticed this subtle uneasiness and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, I won't run away without saying a word. We are friends! I didn't have any friends before, and you are my first friend. How could I bear to run away secretly?" Ruan Xi's words were not an exaggeration at all. Whether in the past life or this life, neither he nor the original owner had ever had a real friend.
Therefore, he cherishes his friend the big tree very much. Even if he cannot always take care of the big tree, he will always cherish it in his heart.
The big tree immediately felt relieved, and its branches rubbed against Ruan Xi happily, as if it was dancing. Inadvertently, it rubbed the itchy spot on Ruan Xi's waist, making him laugh and jump, which was a rare moment of liveliness.
After the commotion was over and Ruan Xi had collected enough herbs, Dashu took Ruan Xi back to his main body. The injured man was still unconscious, but his complexion looked much better than when they first saw him.
"Da Shu is my first friend, and you are my first patient in this world. This is fate. Don't worry, I will definitely cure you."
