You cannot do this directly by selecting. You need to call the xpath line function to cut the text () to get the desired line

substring-after(/html/text()," ") // something like this,

here is a list of string functions

If the lines are split <br>, then they work

  doc = Nokogiri::HTML("""<html>
  apple
  <br>
  orange
  <br>
  drugs
  </html>""")
  p doc.xpath('//text()[2]') #=> orange
