"With me here, there's no need to be afraid." Sun Chun took out the fire piston he brought with him and lit it up. The entire cave entrance also lit up with light, allowing him to clearly see the moss crawling all over the cave's walls.

The entrance of the cave was concealed by green vines and the deafening sound of waterfalls resounded outside the cave. It was obvious that the inside of the cave was much colder than outside, so Xia Li unconsciously crawled into Sun Chun's embrace.

"Help me get the fire piston."

Sun Chun said as he passed the fire piston in his hand to Xia Li.

Xia Li was a little confused, and did not understand what Sun Chun was trying to do. However, when Sun Chun took off her clothes, her eyes instantly lit up.

Sun Chun quickly put on her clothes, and carefully buttoned himself up. He walked towards the darkness of the cave, protecting her near the cave entrance, in case there really were bugs and snakes waiting inside the cave to harm her.

Xia Li felt the warmth from the clothes on her body, she looked at Sun Chun and the corner of her lips unconsciously raised.

As Xia Li heard the voices of the barbarians gradually leaving, and only the sound of flowing water could be heard, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. "I'm worried that they won't be able to find us, and will instead go to the village to find trouble for my mother and Xia Qing."

Sun Chun replied truthfully, "It's very possible."

"Then why don't we go out quietly and investigate? If they really do go to the village, we can go back and teach them a lesson."

Xia Li clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and said with a determined look in his eyes.

"You stay here, I'll go out and investigate."

Sun Chun rejected Xia Li's suggestion.

Xia Li clearly objected: "You're injured, and I want you to go risk your life by yourself. How can that be possible, am I a selfish person like you?"

"

Sun Chun quietly stared at her, he did not make any noise, "Listen to me."

Xia Li did not finish her sentence, then she pursed her lips: "I can promise you that. But you must come back soon so that we can go back together. Otherwise, as time goes by, I will be able to leave by myself. "

"Alright." Sun Chun caressed Xia Li's little face, took a step forward, and suddenly retreated back. "Snakes are most afraid of sulphur powder, I just saw it on you, so use it well."

After Sun Chun finished speaking, he brushed away the vines at the cave entrance and disappeared.

Xia Li looked at the bag hanging on his waist awkwardly, he patted his head, "If I knew earlier, I would have hid.

Before Sun Chun came out of the cave, he carefully checked the situation around him. There was not a single barbarian in sight, nor could he hear any sounds of people searching for him.

He walked out of the cave, took two steps, and hid behind the bushes to continue his investigation. He walked forward step by step until he was about a dozen meters away.

Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly felt someone behind him. He suddenly turned around and chopped down with his hands. A pair of rough palms intercepted his attack. "Young Master, it's Subordinate —"

Sun Chun raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, his gaze becoming colder: "Lei Ke?"

At this time, Xia Li had already come out of the cave, and was carefully observing his surroundings. Very quickly, he met Sun Chun, and their eyes met.

Xia Li was a little guilty, he awkwardly laughed, and was the first to break the deadlock, "I was worried about you, Mother, and Xia Qing, so I came out to take a look at the situation."

"You promised me you'd stay in the cave."

Sun Chun's face was solemn, he did not give in, and continued to force Xia Li to retreat step by step.

"But I also said that I wouldn't wait any longer and would go out."

Xia Li raised his head, his eyes a little red: "You had a relapse yesterday. I'm afraid that you cannot defeat them, what if those people take you away, and they go to capture Mother and Xia Qing to threaten me? All of you are the closest people to me. "

Sun Chun stood on the spot, a corner of his cold heart had collapsed, and he actually didn't have the heart to reprimand her anymore.

In the moment when Sun Chun was in a daze, Xia Li ran forward two steps and leaped into his embrace, and beat his chest.

"I just care about you too much. We've only known each other for half a month, but I've already treated you as my family."

The corner of Sun Chun's mouth rose as he hugged Xia Li's body.

"Oh yeah, you still haven't told me, did you see those brutes outside?" Xia Li worriedly asked Sun Chun.

"No, there's no trace of them in the village," Sun Chun replied as a complicated look quickly flitted across his eyes.

"Then let's hurry back to the village! Those bastards had definitely entered the village to cause trouble! I'll go first. Since you are injured, you can just follow behind me. "

Xia Li stopped thinking about his daughter and pushed Sun Chun away, then walked towards the village. Sun Chun watched Xia Li leave quietly from the back, after a while, he followed behind her.

Xia Li could not be bothered with the attitude of the villagers, he sprinted forward.

When they arrived at the courtyard, she took a glance and saw that the courtyard looked the same as when she left in the morning, there were no traces of damage. The doors of the Lee's and Xia Qing were tightly shut.

"Mother, I am Xia Li. Are you in the room with your brother?"

Xia Li shouted loudly.

The room went silent for a moment, then she remembered Xia Qing's young and clear voice.

"Mom, it's big sister. Open the door, I want to go out and see big sister!"

Lee's took the key to open the lock, then opened the door. Xia Qing rushed into Xia Li's embrace like a gust of wind.

"Big sister, where did you go? I missed you!"

The healthy Xia Qing, once again, had the happiness of a child, which surprised Xia Li a little. She hugged the giggling Xia Qing, and when she saw the smile on Lee's's face again, she felt as if she was in a dream. When she turned around and looked at Sun Chun who had entered the courtyard, she also smiled.

"Those bad guys didn't make any trouble."

"Maybe they have other things to do. After all, you still owe their boss. You won't be able to escape."

Sun Chun splashed a bucket of cold water on her in time.

"I will work hard to earn money and pay off my debts as soon as possible so that I can get rid of my relationship with them."

On the other hand, Xia Li calmed down. She just wanted to get away from this group of rascals as soon as possible.

Sun Chun coldly replied: "Don't worry, I will help you."

"Alright, since you're all back, go rest. As soon as the days pass by, you all have to eat. With you all by my side, Qing Er and I feel that there's hope for our family."

Lee's urged Xia Li and to rest.

"Mom, don't worry. I will protect you and my little brother. I won't let those bastards succeed."

Xia Li placed Xia Qing on the ground and pulled Lee's's hand, as he made a promise.

"My daughter, you should listen to mother's advice. How can we fight against those powerful people? In the future, we should just avoid them. What Mother wants the most is for you to live a peaceful life. It's nothing for us to suffer a little grievance."

Lee's thought about the turmoil in the courtyard these few days. There was still a shadow in his heart and he was always worried that Xia Li and Sun Chun might be in danger.

Mother, I understand your kind intentions, but to the people of Rich Man Yang, dodging and avoiding will only make them bully us even more, and will only change if we don't get any peace. Although we can't go head to head against them, there are still many ways to teach them a lesson, to let them know the difficulties of going through, to not dare to bully us, that is the best situation.

Xia Li was not the type of person who hid his head and hide his tail, he did not accept Lee's's words.

"Fine, but you must remember, daughter. Protect yourself well. Nothing is as important as being alive. Only by being alive can there be hope."

Lee's clearly felt that Xia Li had a more determined will than before, so if she continued to persuade him, it would be useless and he would not say anything else.

"It's almost noon, all of you are definitely going to get hungry. I'll go cook dinner for you."

The Lee's said, and brought Xia Qing, who still wanted to entangle Xia Li, to the kitchen.

Xia Li rubbed his temples lightly, the emotions in his heart mixed.

She suddenly remembered that after she smashed the basket on the scarred man near the small forest at the bottom of Nine Dragon Mountain, she did not take it back. There were still some herbs she had just picked up in the basket.

Xia Li made up his mind and started to walk out.

"I just came back, where are you going now?"

Sun Chun was about to go back to his room, looking at Xia Li walking out, he asked her about it.

"Before, when I went up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs, I left my basket on the mountain. This time, I'm going to bring it back and gather more medicinal herbs to treat Grandma Wang's wife. Didn't you say before that you want me to build a good relationship with my neighbors?"

"I'll go with you."

Sun Chun said as he walked to her side and pulled her away.

"You are a patient, don't forget your status and go back to rest!"

Xia Li was not at ease. His wounds were long to begin with, and were extremely difficult to recover from. That day, in order to deal with those few brutes, he even touched her wounds.

As Xia Li said that, she still pitied his body and pulled him back to her room to rest.

"Have you forgotten what happened on the mountain just now?" Sun Chun stood there motionlessly, grabbing onto Xia Li's hand without letting go. The strength she used was also slightly increased, and the pain made her unwell and frown.

"Let go, it hurts!"

Xia Li said, struggling free from Sun Chun, rubbing his wrist.

She looked at Sun Chun and sighed.

If you want to follow me, that's fine, but when you get to the mountain, you have to sit on the side and rest. I'll go pick herbs myself, and if I'm in danger, I'll inform you immediately.

Sun Chun looked at Xia Li, her eyes were filled with complex emotions, this girl who did not know her place, was truly worrisome, but she still nodded her head in agreement.

"In the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, we still can't leave this courtyard for too long. This is an extraordinary period, we have to be careful of everything."

Sun Chun thought about it, and decided to start from Xia Li's weakness, and arouse this woman's awareness to protect her family.

"You're right, the people from the Rich Man Yang might come soon. Let's go and return quickly."

Xia Li was still worried for Lee's and Xia Qing after all, so he took the initiative to pull Sun Chun's hand and walk all the way to Nine Dragon Mountain.

The people of the village had long avoided Xia Li's family because of the disturbance caused by scarred man and his group of people. They were afraid that the people of Rich Man Yang would cause trouble for them too.

Xia Li and Sun Chun walked through the village. On the streets and alleys, not a single person could be seen.
