"This is Ice Grass!"
Although Zhan Lingfeng had always returned home with his classmates, they rarely spoke to him, often leaving him trailing behind.
Today was no different. At first, everyone joked about what happened with Zhan Lingfeng in class, but gradually, they stopped mentioning him and focused on their textbooks as they walked.
Li Xiuli was particularly engrossed in reciting the content from her textbook.
Zhan Lingfeng had his own tasks to attend to, so he lingered behind, constantly looking around.
At that moment, a small grass plant appeared in a crevice of the rocks. Upon seeing it, Zhan Lingfeng's eyes lit up.
After arriving on Earth, being a top-tier Pharmacist, he had naturally compared many herbs from Earth with those from Skywind Continent, even compiling a Herbarium of Earth's plants. Zhan Lingfeng had memorized its contents.
One of the herbs needed for the Spirit Awakening Potion was this very one!
Recalling the moment when he awakened his spirit, Zhan Lingfeng felt a bit lost in thought.
Just as he was about to pick the grass and put it into his backpack, he heard a scream followed by cries for help from everyone.
When Zhan Lingfeng rushed over to see what happened, he found that Li Xiuli had somehow fallen down a slope.
"What happened?"
Zhan Lingfeng shouted.
The smallest Jiang Li worriedly said, "Sister Xiu Li fell when she wasn't paying attention while carrying her books."
Zhan Lingfeng looked over and indeed noticed that the area had likely collapsed due to the rain, estimating that Li Xiuli hadn't noticed the situation and stepped into thin air.
"Are you okay?" Zhan Lingfeng asked.
Looking again, several students were already climbing down.
"I'm fine, just hurt my foot," Li Xiuli said with a sob.
As Zhan Lingfeng quickly climbed down, several students had already reached Li Xiuli and checked her condition. It turned out she had only twisted her ankle and hadn't broken any bones, so it wasn't too serious.
With everyone's help, Li Xiuli was assisted back up.
However, the current situation was a bit troublesome. They had only traveled about twenty minutes and still had forty minutes to reach the village. It was clear that Li Xiuli would have difficulty walking.
"We'll make a stretcher and carry Li Xiuli back," Su Zhiwu said loudly.
"No need, just find me a stick; I can lean on it to get back."
Zhan Lingfeng glanced around and quickly walked up the mountain. He found some herbs, placed them on a rock, and began to pound them with another stone.
"Zhan Lingfeng, there are only two of us who can carry her. Hurry up and make a stretcher; we’ll carry Li Xiuli back to the village."
Su Zhiwu was clearly unhappy that Zhan Lingfeng hadn't listened to him today and shouted at him.
"No need, I can treat her and she will be fine."
Zhan Lingfeng said calmly.
"What did you say? You're not a doctor. It's really rare for you to think that way; you should take her to the village for their doctor to see her."
Su Zhiwu glanced at the boy from Eighth Grade, Yang Cheng, and frowned slightly. Although Yang Cheng was a boy, he was thin and seemed to lack strength, so it was impossible for him to carry her.
At this moment, Zhan Lingfeng had already taken the prepared herbs over and said to Li Xiuli, "I'll help you."
Without giving Li Xiuli a chance to say much, he lifted her leg with a somewhat shy expression and began to manipulate the injured area with his hands.
Seeing Zhan Lingfeng actually handling Li Xiuli's bare foot in front of everyone, Su Zhiwu's eyes widened in surprise.
Li Xiuli was wearing a pair of very worn-out liberation shoes. After Zhan Lingfeng took them off, her foot was indeed not very presentable; it was covered in dust and not as clean as one might imagine.
However, even so, it was quite bold for a boy to lift a girl's foot like that and manipulate it; this truly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Zhan Lingfeng didn't care about what others thought. After manipulating the twisted muscle, he applied the herbs to her foot and said, "Just wait five minutes."
Everyone stared blankly at Li Xiuli's foot.
Li Xiuli also had a shy expression on her face. Initially, she wanted to scold him, but as Zhan Lingfeng worked on her foot, she clearly felt that the pain that had been unbearable just moments ago had subsided.
After seeing the herbs applied to her foot, she even felt a refreshing coolness emanating from the injured area; the feeling of comfort was indescribable.
"You, Zhan Lingfeng, you actually touched Li Xiuli's foot!"
At this moment, Su Zhiwu seemed to wake up and shouted loudly.
"I was treating an injury."
"You’re talking nonsense. What do you know about treating injuries? You were clearly just taking the opportunity to touch Li Xiuli's foot. Well, I didn't see that coming. Just wait, I'm going to tell the teacher!"
Su Zhiwu's face turned red. Li Xiuli was the goddess he had secretly admired for a long time, and she was being touched by Zhan Lingfeng right in front of him.
The other students also stared at Zhan Lingfeng in disbelief, filled with admiration for his actions.
"Everyone saw it; I was treating an injury. It doesn't matter where you report it," Zhan Lingfeng said calmly.
"Zhan Lingfeng really helped me treat my injury."
Although her face was flushed, Li Xiuli still spoke a fair word.
Now Su Zhiwu was left speechless.
Zhan Lingfeng walked over and handed a stick to Li Xiuli, saying, "Even though you can walk now, it's better to use this for support."
Li Xiuli found herself unable to understand Zhan Lingfeng like she never had before.
As she took the stick, Zhan Lingfeng said, "Alright, put on your shoes and let's go."
Li Xiuli subconsciously glanced down and blushed again, realizing she hadn't put on her shoes.
"Where are the herbs?" Li Xiuli asked softly.
"Just get rid of them, they're useless."
Li Xiuli discarded the herbs and then put on her shoes. When she tried to stand up, she exclaimed in surprise, "It really feels better!"
"Is it really better?" Several students looked at Li Xiuli in astonishment.
After taking a step, Li Xiuli leaned on her cane and said, "There's still a little pain, but I can walk now. Using the cane really helps."
"Sister Xiu Li, I'll support you."
Jiang Li said this and went over to help her.
Seeing that Li Xiuli could walk, Zhan Lingfeng also smiled; the herbs here were indeed effective.
At that moment, Su Zhiwu looked at Zhan Lingfeng again, realizing he truly couldn't understand this fellow villager anymore.
