The two walked to a small house opposite a large medicinal herb garden behind the manor.
Doctor Gu was comparing a certain herb with Jiang Youchen and Xiao Youran using a medical book.
"This is called Red Tip Fruit and Leaf, which is not very common in Wufeng County and has high medicinal value... Its fruit is sour with a hint of sweetness and bitterness, bright red like blood, wrapped in withered yellow flower buds..."
In reality, only Jiang Youchen was listening attentively; Xiao Youran was just playing around with Xiaobai and Xiaoju on the side.
Doctor Gu was also quite helpless. Although he was eager to teach Xiao Youran, this little darling just wouldn't listen!
Every time he taught Jiang Youchen, the little devil would play with the little tiger cub next to him.
These past few days have gone even further; they've brought in another little orange cat!
Even so, he felt quite satisfied.
He had a feeling that although the little girl seemed to be playing with the pets, she was actually listening intently.
Seeing Wen Yuanbai approaching, the two stopped and looked over.
Wen Yuanbai took a step forward, but his legs went weak, and he was about to plant the herb garden and vegetable patch.
Doctor Gu cried out, "No!"
In front of him were newly planted medicinal herbs!
Nan Zhuo felt that his master was going to be in trouble this time. Although his master never suffered serious injuries when he fell, the vegetable patch was covered with herbs and black mud... especially... when he walked over, he could faintly smell the odor of some kind of fertilizer that had been fermenting for a long time...
Xiao Youran also cried out, "No!"
Nan Zhuo reflexively reached out to grab something, but based on past experience, he would only end up empty-handed.
However……
What is my hand holding at this moment?
He...he actually managed to stop his master?
He turned his head to look at the sun, and it was indeed in the east.
Xiao Youran had already trotted around the herb garden and ran over, supporting Wen Yuanbai from the other side. "Dabai, I told you to walk carefully and not to fall down so easily."
Wen Yuanbai:......
Is it because he's not walking properly?
I wonder when his unlucky constitution will be cured.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Xiaoyou Ran's chubby little hand gently wave in front of his eyes, and then snap his fingers, "Hiss—this baby will grant you that you won't fall down today."
Her luck value is already 65 points, so using 3 points won't be a big deal.
Wen Yuanbai:......
I'd be a fool to believe you!
Do you think you're some kind of deity or Taoist priest?
He steadied himself, still looking like an immortal with flowing robes, as if the misfortune that had just occurred to him had nothing to do with him.
Nan Zhuo's lips twitched as he watched, and he humbly asked, "May I ask, Miss Xiao Fubao, how do you manage to do that?"
Little Youran said arrogantly, "I'm just that confident, you'll see!"
She released Wen Yuanbai, then pushed him in the back, aiming at his left leg, which already had a hidden ailment.
She just couldn't stand his aloof and otherworldly demeanor!
Wen Yuanbai already had an injury on his back, and when she pushed him like that, his back hurt, and his left leg lost its balance, so he immediately fell back into the fragrant herb patch.
He was so angry he almost cursed.
To verify what Xiao Fubao said, Nan Zhuo actually raised his arm to watch the fun.
Anyway, he already knew that when the young master was destined to fall, he couldn't stop him no matter what he did.
When the young master shouldn't fall, he doesn't need to be helped up to avoid falling.
Since it was his sister who pushed him, Jiang Youchen naturally couldn't help him up.
Just as Wen Yuanbai was about to make intimate contact with the fragrant soil, a figure in white appeared swiftly, lifted him from the ground in an extremely strange manner, and then leaped to the side to stand firmly and support him.
Nan Zhuo's eyes widened: ...
I really didn't fall!
Wen Yuanbai:......
He felt acutely that he had become a monkey!
But the next second, Nan Zhuo's voice pulled him back to reality, "Master Wu Wang!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanbai was overjoyed and his anger dissipated.
Nan Zhu rushed forward and knelt down in front of the man in white, his face full of surprise.
Xiao Youran looked closely and saw that it was actually a monk in white robes.
He looked to be about thirty-four years old, with fair skin and a handsome face.
Monk Wuwang grabbed Wen Yuanbai's wrist with one hand, scanned the entire room, then fixed his gaze on Xiao Youran. He took a step to the side, stretched out his other hand, and grabbed Xiao Youran's wrist as well. He looked at her, then turned to look at Wen Yuanbai.
The monk Wuwang was of normal adult male stature. He held the two children's wrists on the left and right, and naturally, he was going to lift their wrists up.
Xiao Youran is short, and when her wrist is raised, her gaze moves upward.
But once I looked up, I couldn't take my eyes off it.
She clearly saw Wen Yuanbai's right sleeve, which was being pinched, slide down, revealing a small portion of his snow-white wrist.
There is a butterfly-shaped birthmark on the inner side of the wrist, slightly below the Shenmen acupoint.
She frowned; this birthmark looked...so familiar!
Upon seeing this, Jiang Youchen, who was standing next to Doctor Gu, ran over in a few steps, looked up at Monk Wuwang, and said in a tense and childish voice, "Master, please let go of my sister!"
Monk Wuwang stared intently at Xiao Youran with surprise. After hearing Jiang Youchen's voice, he remained silent for a moment before asking, "Little girl, I see that you have extraordinary talent. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Xiao Youran: ? ? ?
Jiang Youchen: ? ? ?
Doctor Gu: ? ? ?
Doctor Gu stepped forward and said with displeasure, "Hey, hey, old monk, why are you stealing my lines?"
Doctor Gu had always been at odds with this monk, even though the monk was only middle-aged, he usually called him "old monk".
Monk Wuwang glanced at him. "Old Gu, you said these were your lines? Could it be that you're already this little girl's master?"
Doctor Gu choked up.
Not yet!
This is the deepest pain in his heart!
The monk Wuwang added sarcastically, "It seems that's not the case. If it isn't, it means this little girl is not meant for you. You should stop dreaming."
Jiang Youchen was displeased and cupped his hands again, saying, "Master, please release my sister first."
Only then did the monk Wuwang release her as instructed, and also released Wen Yuanbai.
Wen Yuanbai then cupped his hands and respectfully bowed to Monk Wuwang, saying, "Greetings, Master!"
Jiang Youchen was taken aback. This impolite monk Wuwang was actually Wen Yuanbai's master?
Suddenly, a thought struck Xiao Youran, and he finally remembered: the birthmark on the inside of his wrist was actually...
That year, while staying at the Yun residence, she accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by Yun Tianbai.
She thought it was Yun Tianbai because, in her daze, she saw the person who saved her. When he grabbed her clothes and pulled her out of the water, there was a butterfly birthmark on the inside of his wrist.
When she woke up, Yun Tianbai's wrist was injured. It was said that he was burned while brewing medicine for her. Later, it blistered and he applied medicine, eventually leaving a large scar. The so-called butterfly birthmark was nowhere to be seen.
So... in her previous life, it was Wen Yuanbai who truly saved her?
She... has truly returned from her rebirth to pay off her debts, hasn't she?
