Xia Li nervously exhaled.

"I'm almost scared to death, I'm really afraid that the Rich Man Yang will kill me!"

"Wealth comes from danger. You are seeking justice for yourself from the mouth of a wolf."

Sun Chun took a light sip of tea and concluded.

"If I were to spend so much effort every time to return the money, would I really be able to survive until the next time? "This time you've humiliated him in front of his men, he'll definitely hate me!"

Xia Li lowered his head and sighed as he laid on the table.

"If I had listened to you back then and lived in a place where no one knew our family, I probably wouldn't have worked so hard."

"I'm not sure." Sun Chun looked out of the window at the bustling crowd, he was in a trance, the sunlight was gentle on his face, it was hard to figure out what kind of emotions were hidden in the deep shadow in his eyes.

"You've been accompanying me for more than half a day. How are you?"

Xia Li stood up and walked to Sun Chun's side. After inspecting his pulse, he frowned.

"Your body is a little weak, and your meridians are in disarray. It's all my fault for bringing you everywhere."

"If I don't go, your little life will be gone. It's okay, just go back and rest for a few days."

Sun Chun retracted his mind and comforted Xia Li.

"Then I'll treat you to a good meal."

Xia Li said, as he picked up the menu on the table and pushed it in front of Sun Chun.

"Whatever you like to eat, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Alright, then I won't be polite."

Sun Chun took the menu, and called over the servants in the shop, and ordered some meat dishes, vegetables, soup, and steamed buns.

The doorman saw that Sun Chun had finished counting, and replied smilingly.

"Gentlemen, these dishes cost a tael of silver. Please pay up first."

Xia Li's expression was stiff, but he still bitterly laughed and handed over his remaining money. The servant took the money and ran over to hurry up.

"Of course I won't be polite when you say that you want a treat."

Sun Chun laughed sinisterly.

"Of course."

Sun Chun suddenly felt the awkwardness of slapping Fatty's face. As she sat at the side, her smile was extremely unbearable, and her heart was aching. She had never eaten such an expensive dish before.

However, the moment she thought about how Sun Chun had protected her along the way, regardless of the danger to his life, she felt relieved.

"Eat well, don't worry about your fill."

Xia Li quickly relaxed and said with a smile. At this moment, she really didn't care about anything anymore.

"Gentlemen, the food is here!" "Please enjoy."

The waiter placed the dishes on the table one by one and warmly greeted them.

"Buddy, bring a box over here. We need to take some food from the table with us."

Sun Chun warned the shop assistant.

"Objective, please wait a moment." The waiter responded and quickly brought a food box over.

Sun Chun put half of the steamed buns, meat dishes and soup on the table into the box, then started to eat.

"Did you leave this for my mother and Xia Qing?"

Xia Li asked.

"Right." Sun Chun replied.

"Eat more of these dishes and take good care of yourself." Xia Li's eyes were red, he piled some of the best food into his bowl.

With him by his side, Xia Li no longer felt that the journey ahead was long, and instead, felt even more anticipation.

"Hurry up and eat. What are you waiting for?"

Sun Chun looked at the stunned Xia Li, and reminded him.

"Okay, I'll eat right away." Xia Li came back to reality and focused on eating.

When the two of them returned to the Tianshui Village, it was already afternoon. Sun Chun had brought Xia Li all the way back to the Nine Dragon Mountain, and the two climbed up to the side of the mountain near a stream. Xia Li saw Xia Qing, who was sleeping on a rock, and the Lee's, who was accompanying them.

"Mother, we are back."

Xia Li called for the Lee's.

"Where did you go? Why did he leave for so long? What makes me think that something happened to you? " Lee's thought she was dreaming. Looking at Xia Li who was standing in front of her, he pulled her body and turned in a circle.

"Mother, Sun Chun and I went to find the Rich Man Yang to repay our debts. Xia Li explained to Lee's.

"Then we still have to thank Young Master Sun for being able to bring Xia Li back safely." The Lee's said that and was about to kneel down to Sun Chun, but he pulled him up.

"Auntie, you're too polite. This is what I should do." Sun Chun did not know what to say, and could only reply politely.

"Mom, I'm hungry." Xia Qing laid powerlessly on the boulder, and shouted softly. His lips were already dry, and his entire person looked listless.

"Xia Qing, let big sister wash your hands. We'll eat delicious food later." As Xia Li said this, he took out a clean handkerchief from his bosom and walked to the side of the stream. He wet the handkerchief and wiped off the water on it before returning to Xia Qing's side and wiping away his hands and face.

Lee's walked to the stream to wash his hands, and then took the initiative to carry Sun Chun to the side of the food box. He placed all the food inside on the smooth stone one by one, took out his chopsticks, and fed it to Xia Qing.

"The two of you sit on the sides to rest. I'll take care of Qing Er first." Lee's advised Sun Chun and Xia Li.

"Alright, Mother." Xia Li sat on a rock at the side and asked the Lee's in front of him, "In the future, Rich Man Yang will probably cause trouble for us often, are you afraid?"

The chopsticks in Lee's's hand trembled, and after being silent for a while, he fed the food into Xia Qing's mouth and replied.

"I'm afraid, but if you can dodge, then go ahead."

Xia Li was amused. She thought that the Lee's would cry like crazy, but she didn't expect her to reply like this. She was laughing until tears came out, feeling guilty yet gratified at the same time.

"Even the mother can't get involved with the debts of her family, and she doesn't have the ability to earn money. Now, she only wants her family to be safe and sound, and take good care of Xia Qing, and work hard to cooperate with the arrangements between you and the Young Master Sun."

After Lee's finished feeding Xia Qing and helped him clean his mouth, he started to eat the rest of the food. In fact, all the good food had already been fed to Xia Qing's mouth, and what Lee's was eating were just some vegetables, buns and soup.

"I want to go home, Mother, the stones here are so hard!" Xia Qing pulled on Lee's's clothes and shouted.

"We'll be home soon. Please wait patiently for a while." Lee's coaxed Xia Qing, while cleaning up the leftovers on the side.

"Aunt, I'll escort you and Xia Qing back later." Sun Chun stood at the side, looking at Xia Qing who was resting on a hard rock.

"Are we safe now?" Lee's was worried that if he went back and met with people from the Rich Man Yang, he would not be able to rest at ease.

"Xia Li has paid back his debt for this month, and I have also taught them a lesson. These people temporarily do not dare to come over and cause trouble." Sun Chun comforted the Lee's.

"Alright, I will bring Qing Er back with you guys later." After the Lee's heard Sun Chun's words, he let out a sigh of relief for the moment. He placed the food in his hands on top of the box and sat beside Xia Qing, comforting him.

Sun Chun brought Xia Li to a corner, and the two of them looked worried.

"During this period of time, I will temporarily protect Aunt and Xia Qing. You should go out less recently and sell more painkillers, so you should pay back your debt to the Rich Man Yang within the next three months, and then bring your family and leave the Tianshui Village as soon as possible."

"Right now, this is the only way to escape the Rich Man Yang's palms, after all, the entire Red River Town is under his control. If we want to live a peaceful life under his hands, it will be very difficult."

Xia Li covered her face with both hands and leaned against the stone wall with a face full of helplessness. In the morning, she had wanted to become a strong woman in this time and space, but after realizing the reality, she felt like she had fallen to the bottom of the valley.

"Recognizing reality is also a good thing." Sun Chun looked at the helpless Xia Li, listening to the sound of the flowing water, smelling the fragrance of the flowers, his expression was indifferent, and quietly accompanied by the side.

Xia Li's body slid down the stone wall and reached the ground. Feeling the chill from the stone wall, he hugged his arms tightly, revealing a tired face, he opened his eyes wide and looked at the green plains around him.

"You're right. Realize the reality and work hard to earn money. The correct way is to pay off the debt first. "I'm really tired right now. I just want to get a good night's sleep. Let's go down the mountain and go home."

"Alright." Sun Chun nodded in agreement.

Then, Lee's and Xia Qing followed Xia Li down the mountain and returned to the Tianshui Village.

The Red River Town Gold-fighting Gambling Casino

Looking at the money pouch that Xia Li had placed on the table, Rich Man Yang felt a sense of irritation. He waved his hand and the money pouch fell onto the ground.

The lackeys on both sides lowered their heads in fear, wishing there could be a hole in the ground so they could hide themselves immediately.

"In the next life, send a few people to cut off the tendons of the two pieces of trash, Lao Si and Seventh Brother. They stayed by my side for so long, yet they actually fell into the hands of a silly little girl. It's such a shame."

Rich Man Yang pounded on the table, and said angrily.

"Yes, Master." The personal attendant nodded in the next life and waved his hand, leading the dozen or so people out.

Fifth brother stood at the side, his entire body trembling, he was worried that the Rich Man Yang would find him unpleasing to the eye and cause trouble for him, but sadly, he was really afraid of anything happening, just as he was about to slip out, the Rich Man Yang called him.

"Ol 'Five, what do you think about what happened this morning?"

"Master, what do you mean?"

Cold sweat flowed down the fifth brother's back as he respectfully kneeled on the ground and lowered his head to ask.

"Then tell me what you think. I'll listen to it." Rich Man Yang turned his thumb on the thumb as he asked.

"This …" The fifth brother was stuck for a moment.

"Hmm?" Rich Man Yang glanced at the fifth brother kneeling on the ground, feeling a little impatient.

"Yes …" This little girl Xia Li, the source of the money she has. Master, aren't you curious? "

The fifth brother scratched his ears and cheeks as he thought about it. Not only did he not dare to bring up the embarrassing situation where he was beaten up by Sun Chun, nor did he dare to say that he was forced to protect himself by Sun Chun, he also had no other choice but to compromise. In the end, he could only shift the topic to the rich matters in Xia Li's hands.

"Then you should go investigate and see where this girl earns so much money from. Give me an answer in three days."

Rich Man Yang said as he looked at Ol 'Five who was kneeling on the ground, "Don't mess this up again, this is your last chance. Otherwise, the next person whose leg tendons have been broken will be you."
