Lin Ru immediately became wary, but unexpectedly the person left again!
It's really strange. Lin Ru summoned Lin Bai and Lin Mo and told them to be wary of those strange people dressed as beggars!
She went to see if there was anything to eat in the woods!
Lin Bai and Lin Mo also wanted to go, but Lin Ru kept them behind in the name of protecting their mother!
As soon as Lin Ru walked out, she felt someone following her from a distance!
Lin Ru entered the forest and immediately channeled all her inner strength into her feet, starting to run frantically deeper into the woods!
There's a forest next to this village, and further in, there's a low hill covered with trees and large rocks, so it wasn't greatly affected by the earthquake!
Lin Ru turned left and right, and after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she finally shook off the person behind her!
So she began searching everywhere for herbs, game, and other things!
However, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find any medicinal herbs, but I did find two plum trees, two pear trees, and one apple tree!
She looked at the tree full of fruit, which, although small, were mostly ripe!
So she took out a large knife from her spatial storage and began to loosen the roots of the fruit trees. Once the soil around them was loosened enough, she pulled them up by the roots with a single force and quickly threw them into her spatial storage!
In this way, she obtained five fruit trees. She carefully sensed that no one was around, and then she entered the space herself!
This was her first time physically entering the space, and it felt quite magical!
Looking at the five fruit trees, she immediately started digging holes, planting the fruit trees, and watering them with some spiritual spring water!
She picked a few of her favorite fruits from the tree and hung them on the Taobao platform! The labels read: "Pure Natural Wild Fruit! Buying Cryptocurrency! Private Message Me if Interested!"
Then I filled a pot with spiritual spring water and hung it up too! Next to it was written the effects of the spiritual spring water!
After she finished doing all that, she came out of the space. Suddenly, two wild rabbits darted in front of her. These two rabbits seemed unafraid of people. They hopped in front of her and licked the hem of her skirt!
Lin Ru squatted down and grabbed their ears!
She looked at the hem of her skirt with some curiosity. It looked like water droplets that had dripped from when she watered the trees with spiritual spring water in the space!
She immediately thought of a possibility and quickly took out the water pouch filled with spiritual spring water from her space. She poured some onto the ground and then placed the two rabbits on the ground. The two rabbits jumped over excitedly, like dogs seeing a bone, and began to lick the water on the ground!
No matter how hard I try to get rid of them, they won't leave!
Lin Ru immediately poured more water on the ground. After about half an incense stick's time, two more rabbits and three pheasants ran over!
She was overjoyed! If she ever wanted to hunt, she could just pour some of the spiritual spring water on the ground, and the prey would come to her! Just thinking about it made her happy!
She waited for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and then another pheasant came running up behind her! Lin Ru happily caught them both!
There were four rabbits and four pheasants in total!
She tore off the strips of cloth from her legs, tied them up, and put them into the basket on her back!
Then, humming a little tune, he skipped and hopped his way into the village!
"Today is a good day! May all your wishes come true! Today is a good day! Let's open the door and welcome the spring breeze... Hey! Hey!"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Wu Ling walking towards her!
Lin Ru's good mood vanished instantly!
She looked at the tall young man in front of her, somewhat speechless!
Why are you always following me around?
Is there something you want to tell me?
"Or do you want to fight?"
After saying this, Lin Ru was already preparing to draw her knife!
Who would have thought that the tall, handsome young man in front of them would suddenly turn bright red!
He even stutters a little when he speaks!
"You...you...I...I...I didn't mean to! I...I was just afraid you'd be in danger!"
"If you don't like it, I won't follow you anymore!?"
Lin Ru was completely bewildered!
"Brother, do I know you?"
"Don't act all shy, it makes me feel like I've abandoned you!"
Wu Ling blushed even more upon hearing this!
He was a little embarrassed and a little awkward!
"That's not what I meant! You don't know me! I'm just easily embarrassed!"
Sorry! It'll be fine in a bit!
"My name is Wu Ling! May I ask how I should address you, young lady?"
"Lin Ru!"
"Wu Ling! Can you let me leave? I have to go back quickly, otherwise my family will worry about me!"
Wu Ling's complexion had returned to normal, but his ears were still a little red. He nodded!
"I'll lead you back. This road is a bit difficult to walk; it's full of twists and turns and you could easily get lost!"
"I was following you from behind, but I lost you after turning around twice!"
"It took me ages to find the right route!"
This was the first time Lin Ru had ever seen someone speak so openly about stalking someone! How strange! Didn't they feel embarrassed at all?
As it turned out, that wasn't the case. Along the way, he even tried to find topics to chat with Lin Ru!
For example, he had already seen Lin Ru and thought she wasn't coming, and so on!
Lin Ru just wanted to go back as soon as possible!
She cried out in her heart, "Mom, I think I've encountered a pervert!"
When they finally returned, they saw a group of outsiders gathered around the place where their village, Shili Village, was located!
Lin Ru quickly ran over, pushing her way through the crowd!
Then she heard her maternal grandfather's extremely angry voice!
"I advise you not to go too far!"
"My daughter is from a good family and would never become your concubine!"
Bai Jian was furious!
"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror to see how stupid you look?"
"How dare you lay a finger on my sister!"
"If you dare to take another step forward, don't blame my sword for being merciless!"
Then came an extremely shameless voice!
"You bunch of peasants! You dare to lay a hand on me? Making her my concubine is already too good for her!"
"Such a beauty! It's a waste for her to stay by your side. I might as well enjoy her. Besides, I don't think she's a little girl! I'm already being kind by not caring that she's had so many children!"
Lin Ru recognized the voice as that of Master Huang!
Outside, another group of refugees were gathered to watch the spectacle. She finally managed to squeeze in and saw that Master Huang and his entourage blocking the entrance to the thatched hut where they were temporarily staying!
Not only the Bai family members were inside, but everyone in Shili Village stood in front of them, ready to fight to the death if they dared to rob them!
Lin Ru was somewhat surprised by their unity!
Once she finally squeezed in, Bai Chengye quickly pulled her to his side and held her tightly behind him!
The villagers also took a few steps forward, protecting him tightly!
When Mr. Huang saw Lin Ru's face covered in mud, he curled his lip in disgust!
Lin Ru first placed the basket in a secluded corner! Then, amidst the chatter of the crowd, she learned the whole story!
Because Bai Shi drank the spiritual spring water and those pills, her skin became fair and radiant, and her appearance became increasingly beautiful, with a charm that belonged to a mature woman!
Ever since the bandits took a liking to Bai, she would smear thick layers of mud on her face whenever she went out! Lin Ru did the same!
But because it had been so dry these past few days, the mud on her face was cracking and peeling, which was very uncomfortable. Finally, there was water, and with the house providing shelter, Bai thought she should wash herself properly and relax!
Unexpectedly, she had just finished washing and went out to splash water when she was spotted by the sneaky Mr. Huang!
And then this happened!
Lin Ru looked at Wu Ling, who was standing on the opposite side of her!
My heart sank!
This person is truly unfathomable, leaving her momentarily at a loss as to how to proceed!
