With Lingxi's smile, Pingshun only felt that the world in front of him became extraordinarily bright.
This deepened his previous thoughts, as long as he patiently gave all his sincerity, I believe Lingxi would be moved by him!
"Let's go, let's go to the top of the mountain, where the wormwood must be facing the sun all the year round, so it must grow very luxuriantly." Curtis said loudly
Smiling, strode forward.
Lingxi nodded slightly, and silently followed behind Curtis.
Although the road up the mountain was somewhat winding, it was still an easy walk. Lingxi and Curtis arrived at the top of the mountain covered with wormwood without much effort.
Sure enough, there are patches of wormwood growing there, and the newly-plucked buds are as delicate as emerald jade, swaying slightly due to the mountain wind, like undulating green silk.
Coupled with the wormwood fragrance that wormwood itself has, the smile on Lingxi's face is even more beautiful, "Well, it smells so refreshing."
"Yes, wormwood is a very important plant for people's livelihood. It is said that it was discovered by a famous doctor at the time, and then popularized and used. Finally, everyone found that its young leaves and buds are edible, mixed with glutinous rice flour, and can be kneaded. Ciba Qingtuan has the effect of curing diseases and ensuring health.”
Curtis finally found an opportunity to show off, and began to talk incessantly.
Lingxi was quite interested in these, nodded slightly and said, "Well, I really didn't know that this kind of plant was edible, but they taste really good."
"Let's pick some young shoots and go back, then wash them and mix them into glutinous rice flour, then we can make sweet and delicious glutinous rice cakes." Curtis said, bending over to pick up the young shoots of wormwood.
If it was in the past, he would not have done such a boring thing, and he could just send a servant to get it done.
But right now, with the girl he likes the most, he has to behave well.
Curtis bent down to pick the buds of wormwood, and while posing what he thought was the most charming figure, he turned his head and told Lingxi, "There are a lot of mosquitoes on the mountain, but these wormwood can repel insects, so you can rest assured to pick them." it is good."
"Well," Lingxi responded in a low voice, put on the disposable gloves, bent down and picked up the young shoots of wormwood.
As she picked more buds, the surrounding air became more fragrant, even better than those expensive perfumes.
Lingxi absently picked the young shoots of the wormwood, but what she was thinking in her heart was that Ping Shun had gone somewhere, and after waiting for him for so long today, he didn't show up.
While picking it, she moved forward carelessly, her vision became more and more blurred, and she didn't even notice that the wormwood she picked in her hand was no longer wormwood.
Curtis originally picked some, but when he turned around and saw Lingxi's expression was a little unfocused, he asked curiously, "What are you thinking about Lingxi?"
"I don't know where he went..." Lingxi was halfway through speaking, and then realized that the person who asked the question was Curtis, and quickly shook her head in embarrassment, "No, it's nothing."
Although Lingxi changed the topic in time, Curtis still heard clearly, knowing that the "he" in Lingxi's mouth was referring to Ping Shun.
His face froze slightly, and after thinking about it, he decided to ignore Lingxi's words just now.
The reason why Pingshun was favored by Lingxi was entirely because she knew Pingshun relatively early.
He believed that as long as he paid enough sincerity, he would surely be able to catch up with the latecomers and suppress Ping Shun!
"We've picked it for so long, it should be enough." Curtis smiled softly at Lingxi, but when he saw the leaves picked by Lingxi's hands, he shook his head dumbfoundedly, and strode over, "Lingxi, you Picking these is not wormwood, but snake paozi."
"Ah?" Lingxi was stunned for a moment, and looked down, only to realize that what she picked in her hand was not wormwood, but a small leaf plant wrapped around the wormwood.
She herself felt embarrassed, "Ha, I was so stupid, I didn't realize that I picked the wrong thing."
Curtis' face suddenly became serious, "Lingxi, don't move!"
As he said that, he leaned over abruptly and stretched out his big hands towards Lingxi's waist, as if he wanted to hug her.
Lingxi was startled, subconsciously took half a step back, and then felt a pain in her calf.
"hiss--"
She couldn't help gasping, and looked down, only to find a small green snake wrapped around her calf!
The little snake had a red crown on its head, and its teeth had already cut into Lingxi's skin, biting so tightly that it refused to let go.
"Snake, it's a snake!"
It was the first time Lingxi was bitten by a snake, and she screamed out of fright.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay, don't panic." Curtis had already walked over, lowered his head and stretched out his hand, and directly pinched the little green snake by seven inches.
It was because he saw the emerald green snake just now that he reminded Lingxi not to move around, and stretched out his hand to take Lingxi away from the dangerous situation.
It was just because he didn't explain the situation clearly that Lingxi was misunderstood, but subconsciously took half a step back, which completely angered the little snake.
No matter how fast Curtis was at that time, he was not as fast as the little snake that shot out suddenly, so he could only watch Lingxi being bitten.
Looking at Lingxi who was bitten, Curtis was so distressed that he bent down and stretched out his hand, directly pinching the snake's seven inches.
"Crack!"
Accompanied by a crisp sound, the little snake was directly crushed by Curtis, and its body limply fell down.
However, the teeth it bit on Lingxi's leg were still firmly nailed to it.
Lingxi only felt a tingling pain in her leg, which was gradually spreading to other places on her body.
She looked at the snake hanging on her leg, tears welled up in her eyes, "What should I do now? Is it... dead?"
"Well, it's dead." Curtis nodded, telling Lingxi not to worry, "Don't be afraid, this kind of snake should not be poisonous, let's go back quickly and find Feng Xizi to take a look."
Although he soothed Lingxi in his mouth, Curtis's face was extremely solemn.
Because he knew that this kind of emerald green snake seemed harmless, but it was the most poisonous red crown snake in country W!
Regardless of the small size of the red crown snake, once bitten by it, the poison will spread quickly, and severe cases will be unconscious immediately. Many people have died because of improper treatment!
But Curtis was afraid that Lingxi would be worried, so he didn't tell the truth, but tried to put on a relaxed expression.
He bent down, took off his suit, tore off a piece of cloth, and tied it above Lingxi's wound to prevent the poison from spreading.
Lingxi's heart beat wildly, secretly worried.
Although she didn't know much about Curtis, seeing Curtis's secretly frowning made Lingxi keenly aware that things were not as simple as he said.
