Chapter 2 Finding a Place to Stay
Ruan Nanxing followed the girl to the village she mentioned. She had some guesses about the current situation that she urgently needed to confirm or disprove.
The village was not far away. Within ten minutes of walking, Ruan Nanxing saw a patchwork of small courtyards.
At this time, the sun was in the west and the sunshine was warm. There were many people active outside, old and young, but not young and middle-aged. The most important thing was that these people, both men and women, had long hair.
Before entering the village, Ruan Nanxing had already heard the short chat between the parents.
This scene is so unfamiliar.
Ruan Nanxing has determined that she somehow came to a completely unfamiliar world with a body generated by her in-game data.
Thinking of this, Ruan Nanxing suddenly paused, took out the knife used to process medicinal materials from his waist, and slashed it against his palm.
Instantly, bright red blood gushes out from the wound.
Ruan Nanxing seemed to feel no pain, staring blankly at the wound on her hand - the basic setting of the game is that the character cannot hurt herself.
But now, she was injured and bleeding.
Moreover, it was not until this moment that she discovered that the texture of the skin on the back of her hand was so clear, and there were faint blue blood vessels under the skin, just like a real person.
"Sister! What are you doing?!" The girl's anxious and frightened voice rang out, awakening Ruan Nanxing's reason.
She just wanted to insert a knife into her heart to see if she would die. It was so ridiculous.
Ruan Nanxing closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he was the rational and calm Mr. Ruan again.
She knelt down and looked at the girl, with gentle comfort in her eyes, "Sister, I just want to confirm something. I scared you. I apologize to you."
The girl looked at her carefully and asked, "Have you confirmed it? Will you not cut yourself again in the future?"
Ruan Nanxing's voice lowered imperceptibly, "Well...it's confirmed."
The girl breathed a sigh of relief and tugged on Ruan Nanxing's sleeve, "Sister, the wound needs to be treated quickly. Let's walk faster. There is a medical center in the village."
Ruan Nanxing agreed, and walked through the village under the leadership of the girl. He met many people along the way. The girl greeted them politely, and the adults responded with smiles. At the same time, they thought they were hiding and looked at Ruan Nanxing, who all
Ignored.
Not long after, the first one and the first one came to a large courtyard, where many medicinal materials were dried. An old pharmacist with white hair and a goatee was sitting on the steps of the courtyard, processing freshly picked herbs in bamboo baskets.
The old pharmacist heard the noise and looked up.
The girl said anxiously: "Grandpa Yang! My sister was injured and lost a lot of blood!"
Ruan Nanxing also said softly: "Sorry to trouble you."
Pharmacist Yang glanced at the wound on her hand, stood up and said, "Come in." He turned around and walked into the house.
The layout of the house is very similar to the traditional Chinese medicine store in Ruan Nanxing's impression. The entire wall is covered with small drawer-type medicine cabinets, but there is no counter in front of the medicine cabinet, but a rectangular table.
Pharmacist Yang motioned for Ruan Nanxing to sit at the table, and he went around behind the table, opened a drawer on the medicine cabinet, and took out a white porcelain bottle.
Pharmacist Yang sat down opposite Ruan Nanxing, opened the porcelain bottle, and poured some brown powder into the plate on the table.
The girl shrank her neck when she saw this, as if she was a little scared, but the next second she tried to straighten her back and said seriously with a straight face: "Sister, don't be afraid, this powder won't hurt at all!"
Ruan Nanxing: "...Thank you, sister is not afraid of pain."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a stinging pain from the wound on the back of his hand, and Ruan Nanxing's tears burst out uncontrollably - it hurt too much!
Pharmacist Yang said quietly: "It does hurt a little, but the medicine is very effective and it will be better tomorrow."
Ruan Nanxing had just finished speaking big words in front of the children. He couldn't slap himself in the face at this moment. This concerns the face and dignity of adults! Hearing this, he could only purse his lips and nod, thank you in a low voice, and listen carefully. There was a clear tremor in his voice.
.
The girl looked at her sister with admiration, she is so awesome! She will definitely be this awesome when she grows up!
Pharmacist Yang raised his eyelids and glanced at her, asking: "Where did the girl come from?"
Ruan Nanxing paused, lowered his eyes and said, "I don't remember."
Pharmacist Yang was not surprised at all and asked again: "Has the girl thought about where she is going to go next?"
Ruan Nanxing sighed, "I have no plans for the time being." She had just accepted the fact that she had traveled through time, and had not had time to think about the future.
Pharmacist Yang nodded and said casually: "There is a barren mountain near the east of the village. It is an ownerless place. If you really have nowhere to go, you can stay there temporarily."
Hearing this, Ruan Nanxing was a little surprised. If she settled down, there were so many residents in the village. Could it be that no one could take her in? Why did it feel like Yaoshi Yang didn't want her to stay in the village? Thinking this in his heart, Ruan Nanxing said sincerely
Thanks.
The girl on the side said actively: "I know where it is, sister, I will take you there!"
Just as Ruan Nanxing was about to agree, she heard Yang Yaoshi said to the girl: "Youyou, your mother was looking for you just now. You should go home first. My sister is an adult now and can find her own way."
Ruan Nanxing's expression remained unchanged, but he felt helpless in his heart. He was indeed being rejected.
Youyou is a little conflicted. She wants to stay with her sister for a while, but she doesn't dare to disobey her mother.
Ruan Nanxing said softly: "You should go home first, don't let your mother worry, thank you for showing me the way."
Youyou shook her head, "You're welcome, I like sister." Youyou took two steps, then turned back and asked expectantly: "Sister, can I go play with you tomorrow?"
Ruan Nanxing had a smile in his eyes, nodded and said: "You are welcome at any time."
Youyou laughed happily, waved to the two of them, and jumped away.
Ruan Nanxing's hand had been bandaged. She stood up and thanked Pharmacist Yang, and then said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm penniless now..."
Pharmacist Yang waved his hand and said, "No problem, just come and help me collect medicine for the day when your hand is ready."
Ruan Nanxing felt slightly relieved and nodded in agreement, then thanked him again and walked to the east of the village.
Without Youyou's company, more people were looking at her along the way, and everyone's eyes were filled with scrutiny and vigilance.
Ruan Nanxing wondered, could it be that this village had been deceived by strangers before, so it was so unfriendly to outsiders?
The village is not big, and we walked out in about ten minutes. There is indeed a hill outside the village, only two to three hundred meters high. There are very few plants on the mountain, and there is loess everywhere, as if it is about to turn into sand.
Ruan Nanxing stood at the foot of the mountain and hesitated. Is this kind of mountain really habitable? If it rains a little harder, landslides will occur.
But without hesitation for long, Ruan Nanxing decided to go up the mountain. The reason was very simple - looking at the soil here, it was obvious that there was a drought and water shortage here. It hadn't rained for who knows how long. She shouldn't be so unlucky.
Ruan Nanxing climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath, without blushing or out of breath. After walking a few steps, he saw an abandoned courtyard house.
