Sun Chun shifted his body and sat back against the tree trunk, enduring the pain coming from his abdomen with great difficulty. He clenched his teeth, wanting to tie up the bandages again, but his hands kept on trembling.

Xia Li saw that Sun Chun was struggling strenuously but was not willing to help him, so when he was done struggling and leaning on the tree trunk to catch his breath, he immediately made his move. When Sun Chun tried to stop Xia Li, his weak hands were all mercilessly knocked off.

She skillfully helped to bind Sun Chun's bandages. Ignoring his cold face and his wariness, she went straight to the side of Lee's and Xia Qing.

”Mother, we are empty-handed and have nothing to offer. We might need to seek help from our relatives. We should find a place to stay for the time being so that we can temporarily settle down.”

Xia Li held onto Lee's's hand and said.

”Let me think.”

Hearing Xia Li's words, the Lee's fell into deep thought, and then, blankly shook his head.

”Your aunt's family has left. The villagers were extremely disgusted by us because of Father. Now that they think about it, the only one who can seek refuge is your maternal grandma.”

”It's just that your disgraceful father went to your maternal grandma's house a few times, but was beaten back by your two uncles instead. I wonder if we'll be able to get you and your mother once we're here.”

When Xia Li originally heard that there was a place she wanted to seek refuge, hope ignited in her eyes. However, after hearing the words that came after, her heart immediately lost all hope. She once again looked at the three people in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh.

Lee's's face was pale white, he was sick, he needed someone to help him walk, and Xia Qing was so hungry that he couldn't move, so beside him, Sun Chun's body was also injured, and he needed someone to take care of him.

She herself was hungry to the point of having her chest pressed against her back. At this time, it was obviously not a wise choice to travel, but when she thought about the worrisome scene of her being forced into debt, Xia Li's heart filled up. In a situation where she had no one to rely on, if she wanted to live, she could only rely on herself to sell the painkillers she had developed in her space.

But the original body did not have any medical skills, how could she say it so that the Lee's would believe her? Just as Xia Li was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that there was a Water God temple standing not far from the shore.

At the time when the temple was built, it was also because of the many rivers surrounding the Tianshui Village and the fact that it was located in the lower reaches of the bottomless waterfall. The villagers had wanted to pray that the river would no longer cause water problems to appear, so they specially built the Water God Temple.

After the establishment of the temple, even though it was extremely dry year in and year out, the water had never stopped flowing, and there had never been any floods, which was why, in the eyes of the villagers, the position of the Water God temple was not that simple. Thinking about it like that, Xia Li immediately had an explanation in his heart.

Xia Li pulled Lee's's hand, stood far away from Sun Chun, and whispered into her ear.

”Mother, I have something to tell you. You must keep it a secret and not tell anyone else. To tell you the truth, before you and your brother were brought here by the Rich Man Yang, your daughter was already unsettled and jumped into this pool of water … ”

”What!? You jumped into the pool? ”

When Lee's heard that Xia Li had jumped into the water, he was so scared that his face turned pale and his body trembled.
