The Yun Family's third brother and sister had originally planned to return to the capital's estate after visiting their ancestor's home, but they picked up a wounded patient on the way. With a merciful heart, they rescued him and then met up with Yun Meng who had come to fetch them.

At first, the Yun siblings thought that they would only be able to stay for three to five days at most, but just by going back and forth from Blackwater Village, they were tormented for three days, and then, many unplanned things happened, such as Rong Ling's serious condition, as well as the promise of seeing Li Yu'er's condition

As a result, the Yun family's fourth brother and sister were unable to leave.

Since the case had not progressed, the most troubling issue was County Magistrate Song.

If it wasn't good, then he would pester the little spirit child and not let her go. This made Xiaoli feel very bad.

Xiao Ye woke up early because of greed. This time, he truly understood his mother's hardships. Every time he returned to the inn, he would be exhausted and would not even have the strength to hug his little sister.

Speaking of Xiao Ye, he thought that a child who could stay in a panther nest would have a very solid skin. At least, there wouldn't be any problems picking out the milk.

But Xiao Ye picked the milk.

The nurses that Yun wanted to invite were all famous women with good milk quality in the county. Xiao Ye, on the other hand, didn't want to eat them, crying even when she was in a hurry.

In the end, she still relied on Xiaoli to take care of her food.

The goat's milk was willing to drink, but not too much.

It had been half a month since they last saw the baby girl eating a full meal. Every time, she would stop after eating half of her fill. After that, they could only think of ways to feed her.

Actually, a child this age could also be weaned. In a village that was a bit poor, the mother's body was weak. Without milk, the child would be weaned within a month or two.

Now Xiao Ye refused to drink milk, so she couldn't stay hungry. So she had to feed her with goat's milk.

However, cutting a child's milk was a rather cruel thing to do. Furthermore, Xiao Ye was previously half-hungry, but now that she didn't have enough goat's milk and was forced to eat rice milk, she became even hungrier.

Seeing this, Xiaoli also felt bad.

In reality, when he realized that Xiao Ye had skinnied after following him back, Xiaoli panicked and after discussing with Uncle Rong for a while, he anxiously ran back to the Huai Mountain.

But this time, no matter how much he searched, he couldn't find the mother leopard. He even went to Hong Village, but was told that his grandpa Bai had left the village again.

Xiaoli was panicking in her heart. If she had known that his sister would suffer if she were to come back, he might as well have kept her by her mother's side.

Of course, it was too late to say anything.

However, before this, the white wolf had also brought her to float in the water for a day and a night. Although she was not sick, the child was really hungry for a day, and after meeting the mother leopard, Xiao Ye was already too hungry. No matter what kind of milk it was, once she ate it all, it was already too late, and by the time she had gotten used to the leopard milk, she had already changed her taste, so she couldn't do anything about it.

Actually, if she was to be starved for two or three more days and if something were to happen to her due to starvation, no matter what she fed her, she would definitely be able to eat it without raising her head. But who could be so heartless?

As an elder brother, Xiaoli cried tears of anxiety when he saw that his little sister ate less than two mouthfuls.

Furthermore, although Rong Ling didn't say it on the surface, she still guarded his daughter every day, afraid that she would bump into him.

The Yun Family's Fourth Sister and her younger brother were outsiders who would usually help out, but the children belonged to someone else. They did not dare to make any rash decisions, and they were all young men and women who had yet to marry anyone, so who would know how to take care of a child?

After half a month, although Xiao Ye was still gasping for breath, but no matter who it was, they could see that the child was malnourished and did not need to be seriously ill. A minor typhoid fever would probably cost him half of his life.

It was also because of this that Xiao Ye could not stay by his side. Basically, when Xiaoli went out, Xiao Ye would be sent to Rong Ling's room.

This was an inn, not his own home.

The Yun siblings had helped them out with good intentions, but they should not have shared the money with them. The silver that they owed now, they would have to be repaid in the future.

Although the Yun Family siblings did not say it was necessary, Xiaoli had still carefully recorded every single debt he, Uncle Rong, Xiao Ye and Li Yu'er had.

At a time like this, Xiaoli desperately hoped that she could earn money.

He began to bargain with County Magistrate Song. He said that he would definitely catch the murderer, but as a reward, the yamen had to give him a reward.

If you can't give praise verbally, you have to pay me silver!

Thus, he agreed to it. As long as the case was solved, he would immediately be given a hundred silver!

Of course, these hundred silver taels were not only provided by the yamen, but were also sponsored by the Sun family. If an urgent case was to be solved, County Magistrate Song would be first, and the Sun family would be the second.

With the one hundred taels of Golden Radish, Xiaoli began to leave early and return late every day.

However, no matter how many times the case was solved, it was still a roundabout way. After a few rounds of being stuck in a deadlock, the scene became lively.

Someone else had died.

The one who had died this time was none other than the eldest son of the Sun family, Sun Tong, who had brought his wife and children back to the county to visit their parents upon hearing that their second brother had died.

On the day Sun Tong's body was found, an ordinary gray roofed ship docked at the pier east of Xijin County.

The first one to get off the boat was a fair skinned man wearing a dark purple robe. He was handsome with red lips and white teeth, especially his pair of eyes, which were extremely shiny and black.

Behind the man was another young man. He was also very good-looking. He was gentle and gentle, but also a little thin. He looked like a scholar.

After that, it was a middle-aged man. The man was dressed cleanly, but his appearance was average. However, he looked energetic. As soon as he got off the boat, he laughed, "It's finally land. Damn it, I don't want to ride the boat anymore!"
