Rich Man Yang couldn't stop his body from trembling. He coughed and almost fell to the side. Luckily, his subordinates saved him from Old Man Yang's clutches in time.

"Since even the old tutor can't serve the trash in this house, why don't you all accompany him in death?"

Just as Rich Man Yang finished speaking, all the servants in the room were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Some of them wanted to escape, but they were blocked by the servants outside and directly caught.

Tianshui Village

Xia Li played with the herbs in her hands. Over the past few days, she had picked a lot of herbs, and most of them were stored in the spatial space. The remaining herbs would be left to dry in her courtyard, and be used as ingredients to store.

Just at this time, the Grandma Wang who had not seen him for a long time walked in. Seeing that Xia Li and Sun Chun were both in the room, he enthusiastically greeted them.

"Aiyo, Xia Li and Sun Chun, the two of you are here. I coincidentally have something that I want to discuss with you two."

"Grandma Wang, please take a seat."

Sun Chun, who was reading and drinking tea under a tree, poured a cup of tea and placed it in Grandma Wang's hands.

"What is it?" "Elder?" Xia Li also came over and sat under the tree.

"My old man left two days ago." Grandma Wang wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said with a choked voice.

Xia Li and Sun Chun looked at each other, a look of helplessness flashed past their eyes, they did not know how to comfort the old man in front of them.

"As for me, on the one hand, I came over to thank you two young couple. My old man, after taking the painkillers you gave him, he didn't suffer any grievances when he left."

"On the other hand, in the past few days, some of the villagers heard that Xia Li knew medicine, and they wanted to ask me, this old bones, to come over, and beg Xia Li to treat some of the villagers who had no money to treat them, in hopes that he would spare them the grievances they would suffer together. What do you think, is it possible?"

"Naturally." Xia Li agreed readily. She was originally worried that the villagers would avoid her family because of the Rich Man Yang, but now that someone had come to ask for treatment, she naturally wished for it.

With Grandma Wang leading the way, the people who had previously avoided Xia Li's family one by one came to Xia Li's courtyard, asking him to treat them.

There were many people of all ages who came to see the doctor, ranging from ordinary hot coughs to severe malaria, it was inconvenient for the legs and legs, and there were even some who were carried by their families to Xia Li's courtyard.

Xia Li had been busy from morning to night, continuously treating people for half a month, and was so tired that he couldn't even eat.

Lee's doted on her daughter and took the initiative to help her concoct medicine, boil medicine for the patients, send water and take care of those who were sick.

Sun Chun helped Xia Li write a prescription for the patient and set up a personal record for the patient. It would be convenient for Xia Li to remember the condition of the patients in time so that he could visit their house for a visit.

The more patients there were, the more medicinal herbs he would not be able to supply anymore in the courtyard, especially when some people's illnesses were more serious, so he would need many different types of medicinal herbs, causing Xia Li to have no choice but to go up the mountain and personally pick them every day.

A few days later, while she was busy picking herbs, thunder rumbled and rain came.

Xia Li picked up the basket on his back and hurriedly rushed down the mountain. Rainwater dripped down onto her head and her body, wetting her hair and clothes.

They were both on the steep mountain road, causing Xia Li to slip and fall along the narrow mountain path.

The basket on her back rolled all the way out. Her body was smashed into pieces of black and purple, and her face was full of mud. She looked quite miserable.

Just as Xia Li was about to fall into despair, a woodcutter wearing a straw cape and carrying a bundle of firewood walked out from the forest at the foot of the mountain. From afar, he saw Xia Li, who had fallen on the ground, and rushed in front of her.

"Miss Xia Li, I will carry you back."

Xia Li thanked him.

The axman smiled shyly, carried Xia Li on his back, stepped lightly into the mud, and walked out.

In the rain, a young man dressed in a long gown saw Xia Li on the axman's back and immediately threw away the oil-paper umbrella in his hand. He jogged over and asked anxiously.

"What happened to her?"

"Young Master Sun, I'm a woodcutter that went up the mountain to chop firewood. On the way back, I saw Miss Xia Li falling on the ground, so I brought her back."

As the axman spoke, he squatted down on the ground and carried Xia Li, who was on his back, into Sun Chun's arms.

"Yes, thank you very much." Worry, this woman, did she not have a brain? When it's raining, she did not know how to quickly come back, and even made him fall down from the mountain, does she not want to live anymore?

Sun Chun still carefully examined the wounds on Xia Li's body. Looking at her torn skirt, he saw the green and purple bruises on her legs and the numerous scratches on her face from the tree branches, he felt extremely pained. He gently pulled her into his embrace and rushed back.

The axman beside him immediately picked up his umbrella and gave it to Sun Chun as he escorted them back.

"Big Brother, I'll send Xia Li back. You can go back first." Sun Chun prepared to let the axman go first.

"It's alright, Miss Xia Li has done so many good things for our village, it's only right for me to escort you." shouted the woodcutter, and through the rain he had to raise his voice.

Sun Chun nodded and carried Xia Li, rushing all the way to the courtyard.

"My daughter, what happened to you?" Lee's stood in the courtyard and looked outside. When she saw Sun Chun carrying the wet Xia Li in, she was so scared that she cried.

"Aunt, Xia Li fell down from the mountain, his entire body is covered with bruises. Go and boil a pot of hot water for her, help her clean her body, and treat her wounds."

"Alright, I'll be there immediately." Seeing Xia Li like that, the Lee's's heart dropped. He immediately ran to the kitchen and started boiling water, Xia Qing sensibly followed by adding firewood into the stove.

Sun Chun took off all the dirty clothes on Xia Li's body, leaving only the clothes on her body, and covered her with a quilt.

"I... "It's fine now." Xia Li looked at the busy Sun Chun in front of him, and said embarrassedly.

"Don't talk, rest well." Sun Chun sat by Xia Li's side, supporting her on the bed.

Xia Li nodded obediently. At this time, her body was covered with varying degrees of bruises, and her entire body was extremely weak. Her reliance on Sun Chun had also unknowingly deepened.

"The hot water is ready. Leave my daughter to me." Lee's came to Xia Li's room and urged him to leave.

Sun Chun had been waiting outside the door. After taking a look around the courtyard, he realized that the axman, who had sent him and Xia Li back on their way with an umbrella, had disappeared without a trace at some point in time.

Sun Chun stood outside the door and watched the rain fall down from the sky, scattering all over the courtyard and forming layers of mist, his heart tightened as he listened attentively to Xia Li's movements in the room.

After roughly two hours, the bruises on Xia Li's back and thighs slowly healed, and the friction between his arms and calves was a bit more severe. He could only lie on the bed and wait for a few days to pass.

When Lee's walked out of his room, Sun Chun immediately rushed in and came to Xia Li's window. At this time, Xia Li had just entered his dreams and his consciousness was still fuzzy. He did not sense Sun Chun's arrival.

When he looked at the numerous scratches on Xia Li's face, her entire face had already changed beyond recognition. Her heart throbbed in pain, and the herbs Lee's had placed on the table were applied onto Xia Li's face again and again.

The medicinal herbs already had the power to remove wounds and reduce swelling. Xia Li only felt a clear and cool feeling on her face, which was quite comfortable, to the point where she ignored the pain in other parts of her body.

She opened her eyes from her sleep and looked at Sun Chun in shock.

"Sleep for a while first. You've been busy for more than half a month and still haven't taken good care of yourself." Seeing that Xia Li had woken up, Sun Chun reminded her to sleep for a while longer.

"I want to see you a little longer. If you fall asleep, you might just go back to your room." Xia Li shook his head in refusal.

"I won't leave if you're injured like this." Sun Chun said, holding Xia Li's hand, consoling her, "Be obedient, and sleep a bit more, when you wake up, your body will be better."

"Yes." Xia Li nodded obediently as he felt Sun Chun's concern for him. He grabbed Sun Chun's hand and fell asleep.

In less than half a day's time, it was as if Xia Li had grown wings. All of the villagers heard of the news, and they all brought the eggs of their hens, rice grains, two grass fishes fished out from the river, and the chickens and ducks reared at home. Everyone rushed to Xia Li's courtyard with their stuff in their hands to check on him.

"Miss Xia Li, I heard that you fell from the mountain, is your body still in pain?"

"I brought some eggs. You get more."

"Miss Xia Li, here are two fish for you to stew.

Some held up oil-paper umbrellas, some wore raincoats, and gathered in Xia Li's small courtyard, talking about what they had to say.

"Xia Li is fine, she's wearing medicine now, she'll be fine after a few days. Everyone, take your things and go back." Lee's stood in the courtyard helplessly, frightened by the scene in front of him, and could only advise everyone to return.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my wife is resting right now. I thank everyone for their concern for me. You should head back as soon as possible. If you get wet from the rain and get sick, it will be our fault."

Sun Chun pulled open the door to his room and followed Lee's to send everyone off.

"Since Miss Xia Li is resting, we will not disturb you any further. I will leave this fish with you." As the man spoke, he left the basket containing the two fish in the yard and walked out.

Everyone followed suit and left their things in the yard, retreating one by one, afraid that the Lee's and Sun Chun would catch up to them. Everyone walked back home quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared in the rain.

"This?" Lee's looked at the items in the courtyard, and did not know what to do.

"Aunty, take it. This is also the return for our neighbors' hard work in treating Xia Li." Sun Chun said as he lowered his head and brought the rice, chickens and ducks, and fish all into the kitchen.

After Xia Li's body recovered, he once again accompanied Sun Chun to the top of the mountain. He picked a few baskets of medicinal herbs, mixed them with dozens of other medicinal herbs and sent them to the families in Tianshui Village.

Xia Li's female Bodhisattva's name slowly spread through the entire Tianshui Village. The Xia Clan once again received love and support from everyone within the Tianshui Village.

As a result, Xia Li's confidence in his Tianshui Village was slowly built up, and he had the courage to stay behind. He hoped to rely on his medical skills, and build a new life and career.

"Sun Chun, I want to stay in the Tianshui Village to live."

Looking at the pitter patter of rain outside the window, Xia Li laid on the bed and pulled Sun Chun's hand as he whispered to him.

"Alright." Sun Chun agreed, but he did not care, as to him, no matter where he went, he would still be considered a wanderer.
