nA few minutes earlier...

nSeeing that Yun Xia wasn't able to move, Sia cursed inwardly and tried to drag Yun Xia a few meters back where the black jaguar couldn't touch reach him.

nEarlier when Sia observed the black jaguar, she noticed that due to the shackles, the black jaguar could not move around freely. During the few seconds when the Black Jaguar's focus was on Yun Xia's brother, Sia had surveyed the whole place and found that the black jaguar could only move until a certain distance and the later part was unreachable. With that thought, even when Yun Xia threw the stone she did not stop him but pulled him to the corner where the black jaguar could not reach.

nWhen the jaguar's attention was completely focused on Yun Xia, she took the chance to run and climb up on the black Jaguars back and hit right on its acupoint, causing the Jaguar to lose its consciousness.

nWhen Sia and the two men walked out of the exit, they found out that the exit was actually near the foot of the forest.

nLooking at the huge forest and then at the city which was right opposite to them, Yun Xia said

"thank god, we are finally out. Come, let's go to the city

"

nshaking his head, the young man replied expressionlessly

"We can't. Entering the city is equal to falling in the enemy's den. It won't take long for those people to find us missing and the first thing they would do is block the city and search for us everywhere. By then, even if we try hard we won't be able to escape from them, so the only way left is to stay in the mountain for now

"

n

"Oh...then I guess we can only go inside the forest

" Yun Xia sighed

nTo their luck, as soon as they walked inside Sia and the two young men found a river which looked clean and fresh.

nAs they were tired walking for so long, the group of three decided to take rest near the river.

ntaking this chance Yun Xia's brother with the help of his medical knowledge helped Yun Xia to treat his injured foot before he walked towards Sia carrying a few medicinal leaves.

nLooking at the little girl who had brain beyond her age, the young man sighed and thought 'how can there be a girl whose thinking is way beyond her age?'

nSia who was sitting near the back of the river playing with the water raised her head and looked at the young man and asked

"What is it?

"

n

"Show me your hand,

" he asked with an expressionless face

n

"My hand? for what?

" Sia asked but still did not stretch her hand

nshaking his head, the young man sighed and sat down next to Sia. Without her consent, he pulled her hands out and asked with a grim expression

"how do you plan to not treat your hand? Don't you know how dangerous it is to keep your hand like this without treating?

"

nWhile berating Sia, the young man took out the medicinal leaf paste which he had prepared earlier and applied it on her wound after cleaning it with the freshwater.

nTearing of a part of his cloth, he used it to wrap her wrist to keep her wound away from getting infected.

nLooking at the young man's skilled hand, Sia asked in her childish voice

"Are you a doctor?

"

n

"Have you ever seen a young doctor like me?

" the young man asked while he bandaged her wound

n

"Hmm...you do have a point but still, how do you know about herbal medicine and all?

" Sia asked curiously while staring at her bandaged hand.

n

"Because Yun Xia got hurt most of the time working outside, I learned these things from an old doctor who was kind enough to teach me some basic things about medicine

"

n

"Why do you have to learn medicine? isn't it easy to visit a clinic than learning all these things?

" Sia asked

n

"Hmm....it is easy to visit the clinic but for that you need money. With the income we get, we can barely afford it to fulfill our basic necessity and pay the rent, how can we have spare money to afford to go to a clinic?

"

n

"But based on your look and your manners, you seem to come from a rich family

"

nPlacing his hand behind, the young man leaned back and looked up at the sky before he replied

"you're right, I was indeed rich but a few months back I was chased out of the house by my stepmother and it was also her who asked those men to kidnap me and sell me off

"

n

"Was your brother also chased out along with you?

"

n

"The truth is he is not my biological brother. he was the son of a maid who used to work for my mother. After the maid passed away due to some illness, my mother took care of him but due to some unknown reason, my mother also passed away shortly after that. When I was chased away from him, it was he who let me stay in his room and took care of me. When my stepmother wanted to kidnap me, it was him who helped me to run away from those kidnappers but in the end, we were still caught and he was injured because of me

"

n

"Hmm...seems like you two also have a sad story

" Sia sighed

n

"By the way, why were you kidnapped by those people? was it because of your stepmother or a relative ?

"

nStaring at the blue sky, Siz smiled faintly and said

"No. Unlike you, I don't have such a sad life. A Doting grandfather, an overprotective father, a caring brother, and a beautiful mother. I must say, I'm pretty lucky to have such a happy family and a rich life. But because of a past incident, I abandoned my rich and happy life and came here to study to like an ordinary student

"

nNodding his head in understanding, the young mand said

"hmm....rich people also suffer despite having everything. By the way, what's your name?

" he asked

n

"Sia...you can call me Sia

"

n

"Hi, I'm Qin Mo, you can call me brother Mo. and also, thank you for saving us earlier. if not for you making a sneak attack and making it unconscious, I'm afraid we couldn't have come out of that place

"

nshaking her hands, Sia replied nonchalantly

"don't thank me. We were lucky to face as young beast whose consciousness was not sharp as the matured beast or else I'm afraid I would have been shredded into pieces even before I could touch it

"

n

"but it doesn't change the outcome. you saved us and I'm very thankful to you

"

n

"whatever!!

"
