He took out a few rice buns for him and Hli Ja, a jar of waters, medicines, a pot and some utensils . Pao Hua also bought some necessity supplies as well . He remember the match and candles he bought in town . He took out a candle, the match and lit the candle so they both could see .
Hli Ja smiled and thanked Pao Hua . "You did a great job . Thank you for coming back . "
Pao Hua felt bashful at the compliment . It has been a long time since someone complimented him . With a shy expression, he averted his eyes and replied with a single word, "Mm . "
Hli Ja took a few bites of the rice bun Pao Hua bought . She chewed slowly and then after a while, she paused before speaking, "Tomorrow morning, I will have to trouble you to go into town again . "

"Mm . . I don't mind . " Pao Hua replied . He was happy to complete his first task for his sister . It felt great to be needed and to be relied on .
"From now on, I will not be able to move around until my baby is born . If the baby comes too early, then it is not a good thing . To make sure the baby does not come out too early, I will stay here while you go get things that we need . It'll only be for 1-2 months . "
"Mm . . I can do whatever sister want as long as sister wants me to . " Pao Hua replied .
A warm expression crept on Hli Ja's face . She has to survive all odds, give birth to her child and be someone the little boy can relied on . He already have no one left . She took him in, she'll take care of him for as long as she's able to . "Thank you . Let's go to sleep after this . " Hli Ja suggested .

"Ok, I know . " Pao Hua walked out of the carriage to gather some woods . When he collected enough woods, he walked over to the cave and made a small bonfire inside the cave . He rinsed the small pot and added water into the pot, waited for the water to boil and then put the medicines in the pot .
Pao Hua covered the pot and went back to the carriage to get a cup he bought from the town .
After his father passed away, the family that took him slaved him away, so he is quite good at taking care of children and house works . He also follow instructions well and learned things very fast . If he have a proper upbringing, he could become someone great someday . When he found the cup, he went back out to the cave .
About 15 minutes later, Pao Hua came back into the carriage with the cup of medicine . He handed the cup to Hli Ja . She smiled as she took the cup from him . "Thank you . You're very helpful . "
Pao Hua flushed with shyness, and again, responded with just a single word, "Mm . . "
Hli Ja drank the medicine and gave the cup back to Pao Hua . She took off her bracelet on her left wrist and handed it to him, "Bring this a jewelry shop in town and trade it for money . Buy some papers, ink, cloths and clothes . Get yourself something too . "
Pao Hua reached to receive the bracelet . "Mm . . I understand . I will be back . " He grabbed the bag he bought the night before and left for town .
"Be careful . " Hli Ja warned with a worried expression .
"Mm . . I know . " Pao Hua replied . He covered up the carriage nicely before leaving for town .
