The two walked along the river bank, looking for a suitable place to fish. This small river was formed by the confluence of streams and mountain peaks in Jinjiling, and it meandered through Lingxia Village.

Lu Ke'er found that there were few large fish in the river section near the village. Perhaps the frequent human voices scared the fish away. She took Dong Ling to the foot of the mountain near Jinjiling and found a remote river section. The river there was wider and deeper, with weeds growing on the banks. Few people came, and fish could be seen swimming in the water from time to time.

"It's blue carp." Lu Ke'er's face was full of joy.

She took off the bamboo basket on her back and was about to find a suitable spot to put it into the water when she suddenly heard a "pop" sound in the grass not far away, followed by the cry of a child.

“Dad…Dad…Wuwu…”

"Whose kid is playing in such a remote place?" Dong Ling frowned slightly. "Could it be that he can't find the way home? Ke'er, let's go and take a look."

Lu Ke'er put down the basket: "Okay."

Lingxia Village is picturesque, and not only the villagers, but also many people from other villages and even the town come here to visit.

There was a boy of about four or five sitting in the bushes. He had delicate features, two small buns on his head, and was wearing fine cotton clothes. It was obvious that he was not a country boy. His shoes fell on the grass beside him, leaving his two white and tender feet bare. His face was covered with tears. When he saw the two people, he cried even louder.

"Oh, little brother, don't cry. Where are your parents?" Dong Ling asked.

Lu Ke'er, who was standing beside him, glanced at the boy's feet, her face suddenly changed, and she hurried forward, leaning down and squatting.

Dong Ling then noticed that there were two bloody holes on the boy's right ankle, with black blood flowing out, and the whole ankle was swollen and purple.

"This...what's going on?" Dong Ling's face changed with horror.

"He was bitten by a poisonous snake."

"Poisonous... poisonous snake?" Dong Ling felt her whole body go limp and she sat down on the ground.

She saw Lu Ke'er's face was solemn. She tore a strip of cloth from the hem of her clothes, quickly wrapped it around the boy's ankle wound, and tied it up tightly.

"Ke...Ke'er, why are you tying him up?" Dong Ling asked in surprise.

It’s over. If the child’s family comes looking for her, will they think that Ke’er is abusing and bullying the child?

"This will stop the snake venom from spreading through the blood throughout the body."

After a hasty explanation, Lu Ke'er lowered her head and, in front of Dong Ling's horrified gaze, she sucked the blood from the boy's wound with her mouth, spitting it out after each mouthful. After sucking several times, the blood finally changed from the original dark purple to bright red.

After spitting out the last mouthful of blood, Lu Ke'er rinsed her mouth with some river water, then said to the boy calmly, "Okay, it's okay."

In the past two days, her ability to use spiritual energy has been enhanced. Not only can she let the spiritual energy flow in her body, but she can also output the spiritual energy outside the body for proper use. When sucking blood, she used her spiritual energy to force out the poisonous blood. After sucking, she secretly used her spiritual energy to explore the little boy's body and found that there was no residual poison in his body.

The boy stared at her blankly, tears still on his face.

This young lady was so gentle. Her cold words blew away the fear and anxiety in his heart like a spring breeze.

"Yu'er, Yu'er--" The man's anxious call came from not far away.

Upon hearing this, the boy immediately shouted, "Dad, Dad, woo woo, I'm here, I'm here!"

Soon, an elegant man in his twenties wearing a long robe came over.

Seeing the boy's embarrassed appearance, he was horrified: "Yu'er!"

"Dad! Dad!" The boy threw himself into his father's arms and cried.

"Yu'er, what's wrong? Who... who bullied you?"

Seeing two country girls standing next to his son, the man was furious and scolded them with a stern face: "You two are not young anymore, you should know etiquette and manners, why are you bullying ignorant children? You are really country folk and uneducated!"

Dong Ling's face stiffened slightly, her eyes widened, and she was like a firecracker that exploded at any touch when she heard the words.

"Hey, are you blind? Which eye of yours saw us bullying him?" she roared at the man angrily.

Lu Ke'er's face was not good either. She patted Dong Ling's hand, signaling her to calm down, and said to the man in a cold voice: "You have not yet understood the truth, but you have made a rash conclusion, made subjective assumptions, and slandered others. Is this what you call being polite and respectful? Is this what you call the merit of education?"

The man looked at the girl in front of him in surprise.

Just now, my attention was focused on my beloved son, and I didn't look at her carefully. Now that I saw the girl's appearance, I couldn't help but cheer in my heart. Although she was wearing plain clothes and a hairpin, it couldn't hide her natural beauty. Although her skin color was a little bad and her skin texture was a little rough, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, especially her pair of phoenix eyes, which were shining and seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and seemed to be sarcastic but not sarcastic. However, the girl seemed to have an injury on her forehead, which was wrapped with a cloth strip.

"Then...then why is my son crying?" The man's anger had subsided for the most part without him realizing it.

"Ask your precious son." Dong Ling said unhappily.

The boy hugged the man's neck and cried, "Daddy, the snake is bad, wuwu, it bit Yuer! It hurts!"

When the man heard that he was bitten by a snake, he was immediately scared out of his wits and hurried to check the boy's body: "Where was it bitten? Tell daddy."

"Here." The little hand pointed to the bitten ankle.

The man took a closer look and found a piece of cloth tied above the wound. The wound had obviously been treated, and the blood flowing from the wound was bright red. He calmed down a little, turned around and bowed to Lu Ke'er and Dong Ling with an apologetic look on his face: "I am sorry for offending you just now and misunderstanding you two ladies. I hope you two ladies will forgive me."

"You want us to forgive you now? If it weren't for us, Ke'er..."

"Dong Ling!" Lu Ke'er interrupted Dong Ling's complaints and said to the man seriously, "How can you be a father? You let such a young child run around in the wilderness alone?"

The man was stunned because he didn't expect the girl to accuse him so directly.

As soon as Lu Ke'er finished speaking, she wished she could swallow back the words she had just blurted out.

How could she forget? This was ancient times, not the hospital where she worked in her previous life.

She is a peasant girl now, not a doctor!

Alas, this damn occupational disease!

"Dad, it was this sister who helped Yuer just now. The place where she was bitten was so painful, swollen and black. But after the sister sucked the blood, it didn't hurt anymore." The boy tugged at his father's sleeve.

Usually, only Daddy can blame others, no one dares to blame Daddy. He is so worried that Daddy will be angry with his sister.

But he likes this young lady. If it weren’t for her just now, he would have been in pain.

The man felt even more ashamed after hearing what she said. He straightened his expression and bowed to Lu Ke'er. "Little girl, thank you for saving my son. I am Wei Jinzhi, and this is my son Wei Yu. I brought Yu'er here for a tour today, but I didn't expect that Yu'er would disappear when I wasn't paying attention. Fortunately, I met you, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. May I ask your name? Where do you live? I will come to thank you one day!"

Lu Ke'er saw that he had a dignified appearance, clear eyes, a faint white light flashing from his forehead, and a righteous aura, not a treacherous or cunning person. The depression in her heart dissipated.

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning." Lu Ke'er waved her hand, "We are going to go fishing, bye."

Wei Yu was puzzled: "Sister, why did you catch me?"

Lu Ke'er looked at his childish little face and thought of Xiao Xi.

She touched his little head and couldn't help laughing: "This fish is not that Yu. You are Wei Yu, but I won't feed you, hehe." She paused and warned, "There are many poisonous insects and wild animals in the wild. You must never leave the adults in the future, understand?"

Wei Yu nodded in agreement. After thinking for a while, he took out a fiery red pebble and handed it to Lu Keer: "Miss, this is a beautiful stone that I found by the river after searching for a long time. I give it to you."

"You came to the river just to look for beautiful rocks, and your father couldn't find you?"

Wei Yu nodded timidly.

Lu Ke'er hesitated for a moment and took the stone. "Okay, thank you."

The stone reflected brilliant light under the sun. Lu Ke'er was surprised that an ordinary stone could be so beautiful.

Wei Jinzhi was very surprised. He knew his son very well. Apart from his family, it was difficult for him to get close to others, let alone give away his beloved things. But now he got along so well with a little girl whom he had only met once, which really surprised him. He couldn't help but feel a little interested in this little girl.
