After the old woman left, Li Yan looked down at herself and found that her wet clothes had been changed.

The girl beside her watched Li Yan examine her clothes and hurriedly explained, "Sister, when you came back, your clothes were all wet, so grandma decided to change them. However, we didn't touch your belongings; they've been left here!"

Li Yan looked in the direction of the little girl's finger and saw her changed clothes placed inside the wooden shed.

When Li Yan was tied up, she only had a few taels of loose silver on her body, and no one knew if she lost it while struggling in the river!

I have no idea where I am now. If I don’t have any money, I don’t know if I can hold on until my uncle comes to find me.

Li Yan was thinking randomly while lowering her head and slowly drinking the porridge in her hand. At this moment, Li Yan urgently wanted to know where she was, but she was weak all over and her leg was injured.

The little girl blinked her bright black eyes and looked carefully at Li Yan who was sitting on the bed.

Noticing Li Yan's obvious low mood, she began to comfort her: "Sister, don't worry, just rest at my house! My grandma won't chase you away!"

Li Yan came back to her senses and asked with a smile: "I don't know your name yet?"

The little girl was a little shy when she was suddenly questioned, and murmured softly: "My name is Chun Ya, you can call me that, sister!"

Li Yan nodded and asked, "Chun Ya, have you been to the provincial capital? Do you know how far it is from here?" Li Yan asked Chun Ya about the situation while drinking the porridge in the bowl.

Chun Ya scratched her head sheepishly and answered seriously, "Sister, I haven't been to the city, but I've heard about it from people in the village. We're a bit far from the city, and they say we have to take a boat first and then a carriage!"

Li Yan couldn't help feeling disappointed after hearing Chun Ya's words.

Seeing this, Chun Ya said again: "Sister, I have been to the county town. It is just on the other side of the river! When your leg is healed, I will take you there again."

Li Yan looked at the girl who had been taking care of her emotions and thanked her, "Thank you, Chunya!"

Chun Ya blushed when she was praised by Li Yan.

After Li Yan finished the porridge in her hand, the little girl took the empty bowl from Li Yan's hand with great tact and said, "Sister, take a rest first. When you feel better, I will accompany you to the county town." After that, she took the bowl and was about to go out.

At this time, voices were heard in the yard.

"Auntie, is the child awake?"

"You came at the right time. The child just woke up. Go and take a look!" He pointed to the room where Li Yan was.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen walked towards the room where Li Yan was.

As soon as Chen's wife entered the room, she saw Li Yan's pale little face and a pair of black eyes staring at her brightly.

Mrs. Chen couldn't help but admire in her heart how beautiful this girl was!

"Girl, you're finally awake! I'm the aunt who lives next door, and I was the one who carried you back home today!"

Li Yan smiled and thanked the enthusiastic aunt: "Thank you for your concern. I am much better now!"

Mrs. Chen asked with concern, "Miss, don't blame me for being nosy. Why are you here alone on the riverbank?"

Chun Ya also looked at Li Yan with curiosity.

Li Yan told them how she encountered some bad guys and was forced to jump into the river to escape.

Mrs. Chen touched her chest and sighed, "Girl, you are so lucky!"

Li Yan didn't know whether she was lucky or not. She jumped into such a turbulent river and was able to sit here safely.
