Seeing Ling'er leaning over to pick up a branch, Qi Yang understood Ling'er's thoughts. She didn't want to waste her inner strength, nor did she want to risk stepping on dead branches, but chose the safest way - to open a path.
"Then I'll leave first this time." Qi Yang also expressed his stance. He couldn't always let Ling'er suffer.
"You?" Ling'er stood up and raised an eyebrow, "Can you use your left hand?"
"Left hand?" Qi Yang looked down at his left hand. The injury on my shoulder no longer hurts much, but my left arm is still sore and numb, and I can't exert any strength.
"That's right! If you are opening a road, you can't explore the road with a branch in one hand and hold me in the other?" Ling'er looked at Brother Yang, waiting for him to change his mind.
Qi Yang was embarrassed. It was difficult for him to lift his left hand, let alone use a branch to find his way.
"So, I'll leave first." After all, Ling'er couldn't bear to force Brother Yang to show weakness, and begged him, "Brother Yang, you should hold me back and be responsible for my safety!"
Qi Yangjun blushed. It was clear that Ling'er was pulling him along the way just now, for fear that he would fall. How could she say that he was protecting her instead?
Before Brother Yang could object, Ling'er quickly stepped forward to pull his wrist, secretly rejoicing in her heart: "I can hold Brother Yang's hand openly again!"
It was cold, but Ling'er's hands were warm. Qi Yang felt a warmth coming from his right wrist, running up his arm and reaching his heart. Ling'er's thoughts made him unable to refuse, and he was unwilling to refuse.
"Let's go!" After Ling'er said that, he planned to walk into the woods.
But Ling'er had just taken a step, and both of them paused and looked down.
It turned out that the branch that was first held in Ling'er's hand folded into three pieces as she swung her hand, and the head and tail pieces fell to the ground. Only a small section in the middle was still in her hand.
"This..." Ling'er was a bit dumbfounded, "It's really a rotten tree that cannot be used for much purpose!" With a little force on her hand, the remaining small branch also split into several pieces.
"Eh? That's not right!" Ling'er looked at the dead branches in his hand and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Qi Yang asked.
"Logically speaking, these trees have been dead for many years and have become like this. How can there be no erosion insects in them? Even if there are no erosion insects, there should be traces of their activity or some insect eggs." Ling'er analyzed.
"Girl, you still know this?" Qi Yang was surprised.
"Know a thing or two." Ling'er replied, then raised his head and asked with a smile, "You must have never dried medicinal materials, right?"
Qi Yang honestly shook his head.
"That's right. How can such a trivial matter require our Second Master Qi to do it himself?" Ling'er said jokingly.
"The girl is laughing." Qi Yang was stunned.
Ling'er suddenly thought of something and stopped smiling. Handling medicinal materials is a skill that medical students must master. Although Brother Yang has superb medical skills, he is not a doctor after all. He was just suffering from a long illness.
Seeing Ling'er's strange expression, Qi Yang thought it had something to do with the dead branches, so he asked curiously: "Then what does it mean that there are no eating insects in the dead branches?"
"It means..." Ling'er thought of something again, and quickly put away the dead branches in his hands. He also wiped his hands hard on his dress a few times, and then said, "There are no eating insects here." It’s poisonous. These trees are poisoned.”
