Chapter 82

Face-Slapping the genius from another world (8)

Editor : Chestnutwhale

These past two months, He Xiao had met with Zhou Xu in the forest everyday. She obviously knew which routes were easier to walk, and which ones were faster, her situation the complete opposite of Ruan Shijin’s. Due to this, He Xiao arrived earlier at this patch of forest.

Ruan Shijin stared at He Xiao who stood above and couldn’t utter a single word for a moment.

He Xiao stood at the hole’s entrance and lowered her head, saying to Ruan Shijin, “What is your reason for coming to Hedong clan’s territory?”

Actually, Ruan Shijin could have confronted He Xiao, but as he was in a weaker position at the moment, he could only say with a flattering smile, “We’re all from the same tribe, so don’t be like this, okay?”

“We’re all from the same tribe? Which one?”

Ruan Shijin didn’t know how to answer. He was indeed originally from the Hedong clan, however, in the end, he went to the Hexi clan. As for He Xiao, she was from the Lingshan clan, which had been conquered by the Hexi clan. Ruan Shijin could reply saying that they were both from the Hexi clan, but whether or not his heart was really with the Hexi clan would be hard to say.

“Could you pull me up first? For the sake of at least knowing each other.”

Just as He Xiao wanted to say something, Zhou Xu arrived.

“He Xiao, who are you talking to?”

He Xiao turned her head, and saw that Zhou Xu had once again brought a bag of things. Inside were food and other daily necessities. They were all for her. It was only thanks to Zhou Xu that the clansmen of the Lingshan clan had been able to survive during this time.

Slightly smiling, He Xiao turned her body, answering, “I’m talking with one of your old acquaintances.”

“En?” Zhou Xu was slightly confused. He strode over to He Xiao’s side and also smiled. He felt that he and Ruan Shijin really did have an unbreakable ill-fated bond. Why did he, after leaving for the Hexi clan, return again?

Zhou Xu did not believe that Ruan Shijin had come back harboring good intentions, and thus, he crouched at the hole entrance with a scornful smile. He said to Ruan Shijin who was in the hole, “Since the three of us came from the same world, we don’t need to hold back. Ruan Shijin, you lost a long time ago. If you still want to live, then behave well. If you really wish to die, then I’ll be happy to oblige.”

He Xiao looked at Zhou Xu, puzzled. “He also transmigrated?”

Zhou Xu nodded. The Ruan Shijin in the hole was stupefied. No wonder he couldn’t win against Zhou Xu, as it turns out, Zhou Xu also transmigrated.

Zhou Xu then continued, “I am a doctor in the modern world. Ruan Shijin, don’t you think I have a little bit more ability than you? In the modern world, He Xiao was born in a village, and went to an agricultural university. Ruan Shijin, don’t you think that she would demonstrate greater talent? As for you, you’re not even a fully filled bottle. A wobbly half filled bottle kind of guy, did you think that transmigrating would make you a cut above others? Ridiculous, without the appropriate knowledge and abilities, even in such a primitive society, all you can bring is trouble and even death.”

Ruan Shijin suddenly recalled a sentence: “If Yu was born, why was Liang??” However, he was wrong on one point. Zhou Xu and He Xiao could be said to be Zhuge Liang, but Ruan Shijin couldn’t even compare to one of Zhou Yu’s toes.

“Zhou Xu, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I will return to the Hedong clan and let you punish me. However before that, could you please pull me up?”

Zhou Xu shook his head and answered, “No.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want to!”

Finished speaking, Zhou Xu turned around to leave. He Xiao also followed behind him. In reality, the two people didn’t go really far, they were just talking on the side.

Zhou Xu asked He Xiao, “Our corn has already grown to be around twenty centimeters high, what should we do next?”

“Have you finished thinning out the seedlings?”

“No, that’s what I came to ask you. When I was planting, I’d put two or three seeds in a pit, but now, some have sprouted while others haven’t. I’m supposed to leave one seedling per hole, right?”

“Yes, you have to leave the strongest one. Then, from the seedlings that were removed, find the ones that grew the best, and plant them in the places that have not sprouted at all. Keep them in order. Make sure that they’re not too dry. It’s normal to have grass, but you should pull them off every two or three weeks. There is no herbicide in this world, so your warriors will have to work harder. ”

Zhou Xu nodded, and at the same time, he asked a few other questions, all concerning agriculture.

Zhou Xu indeed understood a little about these things, but he didn’t understand them as well as He Xiao. Besides, He Xiao had also requested that Zhou Xu give her a part of the harvest.

During their exchange, He Xiao had developed some affection for Zhou Xu, but from the first time they first met, He Xiao knew that Zhou Xu belonged to the warrior behind him. He Xiao could only silently hide this affection deep in her heart, and she thought it was already good enough to have a friend who had also transmigrated.

After the two finished talking, He Xiao left with the things Zhou Xu had brought her.

In fact, it was really remarkable that He Xiao, such a frail looking woman, could carry those twenty something kilos of things back and forth. It was why Zhou Xu really respected and admired He Xiao, who had transmigrated and yet tried to do her best for the tribe she was in.

Ruan Shijin was exactly the opposite. For him, it probably didn’t matter what clan he was in. Speaking of ungrateful, Zhou Xu felt that people like Ruan Shijin were much more fickle than him.

That day, it just so happened that Zhou Xu wasn’t busy, so he searched for herbs in the forest. It was something he had wanted to do earlier, but as he’d been too busy, he couldn’t. Now that he was already here, he decided to look around for an hour.

Zhou Xu wasn’t very knowledgeable in agriculture, but he was very knowledgeable regarding medicinal herbs, because he had once transmigrated into a doctor in a certain world, and also transmigrated to several cultivation worlds. In short, recognizing medicinal herbs was a piece of cake for him.

Moving forward little by little, Zhou Xu found a crimson colored sapling, so he dug it up.

This kind of herb didn’t exist in the modern world, and it was called bone-eroding herb. Though the name was frightening, it was actually very useful. It could put someone under narcosis for about three hours.

If there were any surgeries in the future, this grass could be used as an anesthetic. The key point was that there were no side effects at all, and it only temporarily paralyzed the nerves. After three hours, the effect of the drug would gradually fade away.

Continuing forward, Zhou Xu found a medicinal herb that could disinfect. Not only the branches and leaves of this herb could kill germs and disinfect, but it could also reduce swelling. If used for a longer period of time, it could also remove blemishes and scars.

Continuing forward, Zhou Xu discovered something interesting. That thing also didn’t exist in a modern world, but there were a lot of them in cultivation worlds. This thing was actually a type of poisonous herb called cut tongue. Its use was, as its name implied, something that would turn people into mutes, almost as if that person had lost their tongue. Besides, after the cut tongue was eaten by someone, they would experience sharp pain from head to toe, as if every bone in their body had been broken.

In the cultivation world, a cut tongue was used to punish the newcomers of the sect for not following the rules, but in the cultivation world, the cut tongue was treatable.

Following the principle that all things had mutual promotion and restraint, another plant had to grow near the cut tongue, which looked similar to it, but had the exact opposite effect, and its name was the renewed tongue.

Zhou Xu searched near the cut tongue for quite a while, but there was no sign of a renewed tongue, and he had to stop.

Closing his eyes besides a tree to rest for a while, Zhou Xu was preparing to go back to the clan as soon as he finished resting.

While resting, Zhou Xu’s heart suddenly constricted, and he subconsciously rolled onto the ground. A feathered arrow flew past his cheek.

Touching his cheek, he got a little blood stain on his hand. Not much, it should have only grazed a little bit of skin.

Although it was only grazed, Zhou Xu still felt it was really painful.

Coldly raising his head, Zhou Xu saw that a few meters away from him, downhill, Ruan Shijin and a tall dark man were standing across from him. Zhou Xu knew the identity of the tall dark man. He was called Gao Zhuang and a warrior of their clan.

It seemed that last time, when Ruan Shijin escaped from the Hedong clan, it had been the work of Gan Zhuang.

Smiling slightly, Zhou Xu stood up. Even if there was still dirt dusting his clothes, it couldn’t hide his overpowering strength.

“It seems your feelings for Ruan Shijin are really deep.”

Both Gao Zhuang and Ruan Shijin were stunned. Ruan Shijin glanced sideways at the tall and burly man, while Gao Zhuang lowered his head. His dark face was very red. It looked extremely unusual.

Zhou Xu was trying to find a way to escape quickly while they were talking, but then, Ruan Shijin said to Gao Zhuang, “Help me kill Zhou Xu, and I’ll get together with you.”

Gao Zhuang immediately came to his senses after hearing this. However, Zhou Xu wasn’t afraid at all against only one person.

What Zhou Xu hadn’t expected, however, was that Gao Zhuang’s arrows were poisonous. Because as soon as he tried to move, he found that the upper part of his legs had no strength.

He moved forward as far as he could, but when he lifted his leg and dropped it, he found that it was as if his legs disappeared. He suddenly fell to the ground.

His upper body could still move. Zhou Xu held the ground and rolled to the side as Gao Zhuang’s knife slashed down. His goal was clear: he couldn’t defeat Gao Zhuang, so at least he needed to have Ruan Shijin in the palm of his hand.

This was because Zhou Xu could see that Gao Zhuang liked Ruan Shijin a lot. If he could control Ruan Shijin, then Gao Zhuang would definitely not dare to touch him.

The direction in which Zhou Xu rolled towards was a little bit off, because his legs had no feeling, so he couldn’t grasp the direction of his rolls. But it didn’t matter, after all, he was rolling from a higher place, so by propping up with his hands, he slightly changed his direction. With the help of inertia, Zhou Xu directly knocked down the body of Ruan Shijin, who was standing below.

Gao Zhuang ran over holding his knife. Ruan Shijin didn’t expect that Zhou Xu, who had been poisoned, could roll down and hit him. At the moment he was distracted, Zhou Xu directly put something in his mouth.

Ruan Shijin didn’t want to swallow down at all. But Zhou Xu slapped him on the chin, and with one moment of carelessness, Ruan Shijin had swallowed what Zhou Xu had stuffed into his mouth.

A huge pain was transmitted to his body, and Ruan Shijin couldn’t bear it at all. He held his body and rolled on the ground, convulsing.

Gao Zhuang was also beyond scared. Looking at Ruan Shijin in pain, the tall and sturdy man kneeled with a putong sound, kowtowing to Zhou Xu. Gao Zhuang begged him, “Clan leader, I was wrong, kill me, as long as you let him go, please clan leader...”

Zhou Xu safely took his own pulse. He found out that the poison in his body wasn’t very serious. His legs and feet should recover in half an hour, so he smiled slightly and said to Gao Zhuang, “Well, you eat this first, and I’ll give Ruan Shijin the antidote.”
