Like that kid He Wuyou.

Ye Xiaoxiao felt relieved; having someone like her made her less afraid.

really!

As she turned the corner, she saw a small figure sitting on the ground, her face contorted in pain, one hand clutching her ankle, while she cried out for help.

Who else could it be but He Wuyou?

Ye Xiaoxiao squatted down in front of him. It seemed that the child had twisted his ankle, so she decided to pull down his socks to check it for him.

"Get away from me! You wicked woman!"

He Wuyou never expected that it was this wicked woman who heard his cries for help. Seeing her approaching, he thought she was going to attack him again, so he quickly pushed her to the ground.

Ye Xiaoxiao was speechless. These two siblings were indeed twins; even their counterattack moves were exactly the same.

She was exhausted from running all the way, so she simply sat down on the spot to catch her breath.

Judging from the kid's normal expression, it's not a serious injury; he just twisted his ankle and it's a little swollen.

He Wuyou, standing to the side, did not look so relaxed.

He clenched his fists, as if facing a formidable enemy, and stared warily at Ye Xiaoxiao.

I'm no match for a bad woman if I twist my ankle.

Could it be that she came to avenge that blow?

Ye Xiaoxiao saw the stubbornness and unwillingness on He Wuyou's young face that were beyond his years, and her lips curled up, but her heart was full of confusion.

The child in front of her was dressed in coarse cloth clothes with patches on them. Although he was thin and pale, his eyes shone like glass.

With proper care, he'll grow into a splendid little boy.

How could the original owner of this body be so cruel to such a cute child? She was utterly inhuman!

She reached into her sleeve, took out the money pouch she had snatched from the thieving rat man, and threw it to He Wuyou.

"Look! I got your money back for you today, and I also got revenge for you by beating that guy up!"

"How's it going? Am I awesome?"

"By the way, your mother has taken her medicine and gone to sleep, so don't worry about her."

He Wuyou never expected to get the money back, and besides, he couldn't quite figure out the bad woman's behavior.

The incessant chatter of the person in front of him caused a flicker of confusion and bewilderment in his eyes.

The first thing she should do is teach herself a lesson and then curse him as a "brat" and "little bastard" to vent her anger, right?

Seeing his bewildered look, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pat his head.

It's fluffy and feels so comfortable.

She exclaimed with satisfaction, "That's more like a child now!"

After resting, she stood up, patted her bottom, walked to the grass beside her, looked around, her face lit up with joy, and bent down to pluck a handful of hibiscus leaves.

She knew that there was no useless grass in the countryside; if used properly, everything could be a treasure.

"Here! Put it in your mouth, chew it up, then spit it out and apply it to the swollen and painful area."

Upon hearing this, He Wuyou frowned.

Is this disgusting? You chew it up and then spit it out to apply to your ankle?

That bad woman did it on purpose, definitely!

He turned his head away, his expression revealing obvious disdain.

Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and a sly smile appeared on her face.

"Since you're unwilling to chew it, I'll reluctantly help you." His tone deliberately carried a hint of helplessness and compromise. "Wait... you probably won't mind me smearing my saliva on your sprained area, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the smallest hibiscus leaf, put it in her mouth and chewed it, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.

Ugh—it's both bitter and spicy!

His brows furrowed into a deep frown.

She made a move to put the second leaf into her mouth, but He Wuyou snatched the herb from her hand.

"I will do it myself!"

Ye Xiaoxiao smiled, thinking that children are most easily provoked.

A look of confusion flashed across her small face, and her eyes were full of resistance.

He Wuyou: This wicked woman ate it herself, so she wasn't trying to poison me with this herb. I'm not so easily trusting of this wicked woman; I'm quite clever!

Upon hearing the child's thoughts, Ye Xiaoxiao's face suddenly stiffened, her lips twitched, and she felt that the herbal taste was even more bitter.

He just had me test the poison? Is he already this cunning at such a young age?

He Wuyou silently chewed on the leaves of the hibiscus, crushed them, and applied them to the swollen area.

Ye Xiaoxiao tried her best but couldn't tear off a strip of cloth, so she had to find some large leaves and tough grass and put them aside.

This child was even more wary than He Wuyang, and insisted on treating his sprained injury himself.

"Come up!"

Ye Xiaoxiao squatted down in front of He Wuyou, indicating that she would carry him on her back.
