Li Rui quickly took her hand away and opened her hand with his left hand while he used his right hand to pinch the yellow thorn and gently pulled it out. Following Ou Yangxin's groan, the Earth Thorn was pulled out by him and thrown far away.
Li Rui said: "This thorn shouldn't be poisonous right?" Ou Yangxin shook her head with a bitter smile, not sure if it was because she didn't know or because it wasn't poisonous. Li Rui didn't dare to be negligent as he held her left hand with both hands and used his thumbs to squeeze the wound until there was blood.
Ou Yangxin looked at his actions with a soft light in her eyes.
Li Rui let go of her hand, took out his wallet, and took out a band-aid from his pocket. He opened it and carefully put it on her wound. Ou Yangxin was surprised and said: "You carry a band-aid with you?" Li Rui laughed: "Why? Can't I? " Ou Yangxin's expression was strange as she said: "I've never seen a man like you who carries a band-aid with him." Li Rui smiled and said: "Now you've seen it?" Ou Yangxin smiled and didn't say anything but the smile on her face became even sweeter.
Li Rui put down her hand and saw that her clothes were stained with grass and leaves so he reached out to help her clean it.
Ou Yangxin enjoyed his attentive care, and her mood was a little budding. She generously said with a hint of coquettishness, "This time you can pull me up, I don't want to fall again." Finished speaking, she took the initiative to give him her right hand. Li Rui naturally accepted it with a smile. He raised his hand to take her soft hand and held it tightly. "Let's go!"
The two started to climb side by side. After climbing for a few steps, Li Rui saw Ou Yangxin frown and asked: "What's wrong?" Ou Yangxin sighed: "It seems like when I fell there was a stone in my shoe." Li Rui said: "Then quickly sit down and take off your shoe to pour out the stone." Ou Yangxin shook her head and said: "The stone isn't big, let's climb to the top first." Li Rui didn't force her and continued to climb with her.
The skin on Ou Yangxin's hand was delicate and tender, warm and smooth. Her palm was so soft that it was as if it had no bones. Holding such a hand, it felt so good. Li Rui secretly praised in his heart. With such a heart and spirit, he didn't feel the fatigue of climbing the mountain.
The two didn't have any distractions as they climbed diligently. Their steps were quick and in a short while, they reached the top of the hill.
Just as they reached the top, Li Rui let go of Ou Yangxin's hand. Even though he didn't want to let go of her soft hand, but in order to show that he was a gentleman, Li Rui forced himself to let go of her hand. Ou Yangxin's performance was very natural. Whether it was when he was holding her hand or now when he let go, she didn't show any strange behavior.
After climbing up the seventy to eighty meter high hill and supporting Ou Yangxin, Li Rui's body was already hot and sweaty. He stood at the top of the hill and looked around. The top of the hill was about the size of a basketball court. There was a telephone pole and a small signal tower. There was also a large loudspeaker on an old locust tree that was as thick as a calf. It was probably used by the village to broadcast. The top of the hill was covered with withered grass mixed with bird droppings and animal droppings. Thistles and thorns were scattered everywhere. It was very cold and cheerless. Looking into the distance, Shi Family's Cemetery Village was already at the foot of the hill. Not only was the village in front of them, but the road they came from, the slightly bigger town shop in the distance, and even the military camp and shooting range in the distance were vivid in their eyes.
As the mountain breeze blew, a moist mountain smell hit their faces. When they breathed in, they felt comfortable all over. Looking down at the scenery at the bottom of the hill, it was indescribably refreshing and comfortable. Li Rui couldn't help but shout out loud. Ou Yangxin looked at him in surprise. Li Rui smiled at her and shouted a few more times. Ou Yangxin then smiled.
The north, south, and east sides of the hill were empty. The west side was connected to a higher and continuous mountain range in the distance. Li Rui looked up and saw that the nearest hill to the west side was even higher. It was about 150 meters high. The hill was quite unique. The outer side (the sun side) was in the shape of a cone. It was smooth and protruding outwards. It was covered with pine trees and all kinds of fruit trees. The inner side (the shadow side) was slanted and sunken, as if a monster had taken a big bite out of the mountain. In the sunken shadow of the mountain, there were patches of yellowish and green plants. They were the precious wild herbs that he and Ou Yangxin were looking for.
He looked into the distance again and saw that the mountain range was endless. He couldn't see the end of it at all. He could only see the horizon. If these mountains grew wild herbs, then they would be inexhaustible. They could buy them in large quantities and use them as the hotel's own brand products.
Li Ruixin secretly admired Ou Yangxin's daring work style. He turned his head and saw that she was sitting on a rock not far behind him. She was sitting with her legs crossed. She seemed to be cleaning the stones in her shoes. He smiled and walked towards her.
Coincidentally, when he walked to Ou Yangxin's side, she took off her shoes and put them back on. Although his eyes were sharp and clear, he could only see a thin foot wrapped in pink cotton socks flying across the sky. After that, he couldn't see it again. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
After Ou Yangxin put on her shoes, she stood up and said: "Let's go to the hill in the west and see what kind of wild herbs there are." Li Rui nodded in agreement.
From the small hill under their feet to the higher hill in the west, the road was easier to walk. The slope wasn't high and the road was uneven, so it was less slippery. Even so, Li Rui loyally guarded Ou Yangxin's side to prevent her from suddenly falling. The usually noble and beautiful general manager could only be a weak and powerless woman on this rocky hill.
The two walked for about ten minutes and arrived at the shade of the hill. In front of them, there were only a few wild apricot trees. At this time, the apricot flowers were in full bloom. White smoke filled the air and the flowers were dotted with pink stamens. There were also some winter jasmine and other thorny bushes, but there weren't many of them. The rest of the mountain crevices were densely packed with wild herbs. However, they didn't know which ones were edible and which ones weren't. In addition, it was just the beginning of spring. The temperature in the mountains was a few degrees lower than in the plains. Therefore, these plants had just sprouted. Some had just sprouted on the branches and some had just sprouted a few green leaves. The scale of the scene wasn't very big.
Here, Ou Yangxin had become the master. She gave Li Rui pointers one by one. Which ones were celery, which ones were phoenix-tailed fern, which ones were osmanthus, which ones were artemisia, and which ones were wild onions. Li Rui listened in amazement. It was just the beginning of spring and these wild herbs had just sprouted. Some of them hadn't even sprouted yet, but she could accurately name them. It was really amazing. He had to admit that she was very competent as the general manager of the hotel. It probably wouldn't be a problem for her to be in charge of the head chef.
He was puzzled and asked, "Ou Yangxin, how do you know so much?" Ou Yangxin smiled and said, "Since I want to create this wild herb brand, of course I have to understand everything. If even I am confused and don't know anything, how can I create a brand? "Li Rui nodded and said," Then how do you know the names of these wild herbs? " Ou Yangxin said, "The hotel's supplier gave me samples to look at. I also found them online." Li Rui praised, "No wonder you can be the general manager of a five-star hotel at such a young age. Your diligence is really admirable." Ou Yangxin smiled modestly.
The two of them looked into the distance. Ou Yangxin was a little excited as she introduced, "After the spring rain, these wild herbs will be like bamboo shoots after the rain. They will grow crazily and will be very lush in a short time. They have strong vitality. They don't need to be watered, fertilized, or dewormed. They will grow very well. When the time comes, I will send people to the village to buy them. We don't need to give a very high price. As long as we give them a little money, the villagers here will eagerly go up the mountain to pick them. After we buy them back, after a simple cleaning and picking, the hotel will digest them themselves. We will sell them to the outside world after some rough processing. They will definitely sell very well. "
Li Rui kept nodding his head as he listened, and praised, "Oh Ou Yang, I find that the more I interact with you, the less I understand you, because you are always able to show me all kinds of true strength hidden under your beautiful appearance, and every time I can only see the tip of the iceberg, hehe." Ou Yang Xin looked at him happily and said, "Really? It should be that the more you interact with me, the more you understand me. How come you don't understand me? Then you still have the face to be my close friend? " Li Rui smiled and said, "I just thought that I don't need to understand your strength. I only need to understand you as a person." Ou Yangxin said, "Then do you understand me?"
Li Rui looked at her with a smile and didn't say anything. Ou Yangxin also looked at him with a smile. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They were very happy, but they didn't know why they were so happy.
A gust of wind blew by, sweeping up a few stalks of withered grass high up and gently falling to the ground. Coincidentally, a blade of grass fell right on top of Ou Yangxin's head and pierced between her hair. No matter what, it couldn't go down.
Li Rui saw that she didn't feel anything and walked in front of her and reached out his hand to touch the top of her head. Ou Yangxin was slightly curious. Her eyebrows raised, but she didn't ask anything. She obediently stood there without moving and only looked up at him. Li Rui reached out his hand and pulled out the blade of grass from the top of her head and showed it to her. Ou Yangxin finally understood and a gratified smile appeared on her face. Li Rui let go of the blade of grass. The blade of grass floated with the wind and finally fell to the ground.
