"You are really a perverted woman, I have never seen a woman like you before! I walk on the trading road all year round, so naturally, I have some fists and feet, and I have scars on my body. What's so strange about that? "

As Sun Chun said this, he moved towards the side of the bed and looked at Xia Li warily. The woman who just mentioned that she was not interested in him was now …

It's true that words don't mean what they say.

"You were nervous. I thought you were a very calm person."

It wasn't good for Xia Li to go too far either. Seeing that Sun Chun's face had returned to its usual cold state, he took off the clothes he had taken off earlier and placed it beside the bed.

"Get up tomorrow and think of a way to wash up. Tomorrow, I'm going up the mountain to gather herbs. Help me look after the house."

After Xia Li finished, he clapped his hands and stood up. He stretched his body and prepared to leave.

"Today, thank you again."

Sun Chun, who rarely spoke, said those words when Xia Li turned around to leave.

"No need for thanks, I am not saving you for nothing. In the future, I will need your help in many ways. Take good care of yourself."

Xia Li waved his hands nonchalantly and walked out of the house. However, Sun Chun felt especially regretful that he had opened his mouth just now.

He suddenly felt a little bit nervous towards Xia Li, as he didn't know how this little girl would torture him, but after thinking about it again, in the days they had been together, Xia Li had treated him pretty well.

That was why he slowly stopped worrying about it.

At dawn, the moon quietly hid in the clouds. The rooster jumped on top of the wall and once again called for his master to get up. The stupid bird had already climbed out of the nest and went out to find food.

Xia Li woke up early. Other than the blanket on her body, there were only a few layers of bed sheets underneath. She slept on the hard bed for an entire night, causing her back to ache from the pain.

She quickly got up and folded the quilt. She stretched and ran to the well. She poured a bucket of water and washed her face. When she looked at the courtyard again, she was shocked.

Sun Chun was walking back and forth in the courtyard.

He had changed today. She had bought him a coarse robe in the town market. Her long hair was tied carelessly behind his back with a black headband, revealing his handsome face the color of wheat. His forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

"This is only the second day after you were injured, and you're already in a hurry to get off the ground and walk? Although the wound on your abdomen is no longer painful, you still need to stay in bed to recuperate.

Xia Li admired Sun Chun's perseverance, but he did not approve of his actions.

However, Sun Chun said: "The morning air is fresh and comfortable, I will walk a little more and rest in bed for the rest of the day."

"It's up to you. In any case, it's not my body. If you don't cherish it, your wound will split open. Don't come looking for me."

After Xia Li finished speaking, she went to Lee's's room, the room was empty, there were no signs of Lee's or Xia Qing in there, and when she went to the kitchen, Lee's was cooking, Xia Qing was sitting beside the stove, filling the stove with firewood.

"Mom, you're not feeling well. I can cook for you in the future."

Xia Li was worried about the Lee's's body and immediately asked.

"It's okay, daughter, mom will also tell you some good news, mom is no longer in pain and feels much more relaxed now. Mom is in a good mood, so I woke up early and when I had nothing to do, I woke up and brought your brother to the kitchen to cook. Moreover, you were tired yesterday, Mom wants you to have a good rest."

"The food is already cooked, hurry up and come to eat. The noodle soup has already been cooked. You guys can eat it for now."

The Lee's laughed and fished out the vegetables from the rice soup, sprinkling them with salt and vinegar. After mixing them for a bit and scooping up four bowls, he walked out of the kitchen and called Sun Chun who was in the courtyard.

"Young man, the food has been prepared. Come in and eat as well."

After responding to Lee's's call, Sun Chun briefly washed himself by the well and went to the kitchen.

The small kitchen was crowded with four people at the same time.

Sun Chun looked at the dishes placed on the stove, frowning slightly, a look of disdain flashing past his eyes. After taking a bowl of soup, he stood up and left.

Xia Li looked at Sun Chun who was about to leave, then looked at the chopsticks and vegetables that he did not touch, roughly guessing what he was thinking about, and couldn't help but to roll his eyes.

It was already good to have some food now, but they were also picky and had poor conditions. Everyone had to endure it for now.

After Xia Li finished taking care of Xia Qing and Lee's, he sent them back to their room to rest. He took the vegetables and drank two bowls of soup, she was only 18 or 19 years old now, and when she grew up, without any nutrition, she would have to drink more rice soup to supplement her nutrition.

Xia Li was very happy. After taking the painkillers, besides still being weak, he did not have the mental and physical strength, but he had been spared the torture of being in pain. It was also a huge improvement, and so was Sun Chun.

She could clearly feel that her decision to save Lee's and Sun Chun was right. As long as all the people around her recuperated, this family could be considered as having hope.

It was just that Xia Li's current good mood had not lasted for long before Mrs Zhao's resonant voice came from the courtyard.

"My daughter, my grandson, are you up yet?"

Xia Li walked out of the kitchen and looked towards the courtyard. Mrs Zhao was dressed in a clean and tidy set of coarse clothes, her white hair was combed neatly and tied up with a wooden hairpin, the wrinkles on her face had turned into flowers as she laughed. She rubbed her hands together and walked in front of Xia Li with small steps.
