Whether he kills or maims me, I can just pay him more money, saving myself the trouble of constantly worrying about him.

Having mentally prepared myself, I forcefully opened the door. By then, the sun had already set, dark clouds had covered the moonlight, and it was pitch black outside.

Xiao Yunying squinted at her surroundings, and Luo Yang said, "Mother, there's someone here."

Following Luo Yang's gaze, they saw a girl sitting against the wall outside the door.

Xiao Yunying quickly released the shovel, went outside, squatted down, and shook the girl's arm.

"Girl, girl, wake up."

The girl woke up, her eyes hazy but wary as she looked at Xiao Yunying. After a few breaths, as if confirming who the person in front of her was, she weakly said, "My benefactor, I've finally found you."

The other person was extremely weak, and spoke in a very soft voice. The wind was so strong that Xiao Yunying couldn't hear clearly.

She asked loudly, "Whose family are you, young lady? Why did you faint here? Never mind, let me help you up first."

The girl used her strength to stand up. Xiao Yunying wanted to ask where she was from, but after thinking for a moment, she didn't rush to ask and changed her question:

"Come into my house and warm up. Your clothes are soaked. Don't catch a cold in this cold weather."

The girl gave a weak smile: "My benefactor is still so kind-hearted, I... thank you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed into Xiao Yunying's arms.

"Huh? Huh!"

Xiao Yunying was forced back two steps by the weight before she could regain her balance. Sensing that the girl leaning against her might have fainted, she quickly said:

"Luo Chen, Luo Yang, quickly tidy up the room next to mine, make up the bedding, and then go and boil a pot of brown sugar ginger tea."
