Ye Wenxue wiped the sweat from her brow, sat on the roof beam, and gazed at the dim, setting sun, feeling utterly exhausted and powerless.
"Don't take your child to the lake these next few days, and be careful yourself. I almost ran into some strangers when I went to the lake today."
Sui Ye's arrogant voice came from beside my ear.
Ye Wenxue stretched her stiff neck: "The drought is severe now. This is probably the only major water source in the surrounding mountains. The hunters and villagers in the mountains need water every day, so we should try to avoid it."
