Ah Xiu affirmed, "So, Miss Mo, you must have fainted from the high fever of smallpox and fell into the river, then drifted down the river to here, and then I and Aunt Sang met you, right?"
Su Li curled up the corners of her mouth: "Yes."
All the details were thought out for her, so she naturally accepted it with a smile.
"Wow! Lucky you met Auntie Sang."
Otherwise, you might really die.
Su Li smiled and said, "Yes, I'm lucky to have met you. You saved me. Thank you..."
"Hehe!" Ah Xiu scratched his head and just grinned.
Aunt Sang said seriously, "Miss Mo, I want to tell you something. This Xishan Mine is different from other places. It is a secret mine in Dajin.

He then instructed, "If anyone comes, you should pretend to be asleep and not let anyone know you're awake. This way you can rest for a few more days."
Su Li knew her good intentions and thanked her sincerely: "Thank you, Aunt Mo."
Ah Xiu laughed and said, "We're leaving now. You should have a good rest. Oh, I just added some tea to your cup. If you're thirsty, remember to drink it. Oh, and more."
She picked up two steamed buns from the table and stuffed them into her hands, saying with a smile, "Eat them! Don't go hungry."
After saying this, he left with Aunt Sang.
