Quick Transmigration: Leisure

From birth, Xia Youtian set a test for the entire family.

It wasn't difficult to help her recover; the commonly used medicinal herbs were well-known and available in all the pharmacies in town.

However, the price is extremely high and the usage is enormous.

While others drink it, she takes a medicinal bath.

The pots used for decocting medicine had to be specially made, and the room's furnishings were also carefully arranged.

At that time, Tian Chaoyu was in poor health and unable to feed Xia Youtian, so she had to hire a young wet nurse.

Not only are there requirements for the wet nurse's physical condition and birth date, but she also needs to take medicine and eat carefully at every meal.

After all this turmoil, both the Xia and Tian families were destitute by the time Xia Youtian turned one year old.

Everything that could be sold was gone, including the calligraphy and paintings collected by Xia Liangjun's family and some farmland. The brothers shared their clothes, and Xia Youqing and Xia Youmi even exchanged outfits.

Except for the brother's tuition, Xia Youqing's pot, and Xia Youmi's bed, which remained untouched.

All the other fancy accessories were sold.

Even the feng shui masters of the Tian family have started to lower their prices and take on jobs everywhere. From decorating rooms to breeding chickens, dogs, cows, and ducks with the most auspicious offspring.

A small portion of the reward money was used to support household expenses, including robes and talisman tools to maintain appearances. The majority was used to buy medicinal bath water for Xia Youtian.

Perhaps they initially fought so desperately because of the prophecy of Elder Tian.

But later, seeing Xiaotianbao's clear but painful expression time and time again, her prayers turned into sincere pleas.

I only pray that God will bless her one more time and help her get through this ordeal quickly.

The turning point came when I was two years old.

A wandering monk arrived at the village entrance. He was fair-skinned and beardless, and did not appear to be a highly respected or virtuous person.

But Tian Chaoyu, who was used to making calculations, did not let the master off the hook.

We should ask him to perform a divination for Xia Youtian to find out how she can escape this suffering.

Fortunately, this monk truly had discerning eyes.

Seeing the mother and daughter's devoutness, and the child's unique aura of black and golden light, the monk felt a challenge and closed his eyes to perform a divination for Xia Youtian.

According to this calculation, the river water level has risen three times.

It almost swallowed the high monk.

No one believed him, and some even described the handsome monk in strange ways.

Only Tian Chaoyu sensed an aura similar to that of the old clan chief.

It was as if they were negotiating with the heavens, asking for the life of their youngest daughter.

She was completely numb with her lower body submerged in water, and Xia Liangjun couldn't persuade her otherwise, so the whole family stayed with her.

The eldest brother, Xia Yisong, held his younger sister in his arms.

Second brother Xia Yibo carried his second sister on his back.

Third brother Xia Yiliu held the hand of eldest sister.

Everyone hid behind the wooden plank that Xia Liangjun had raised to block the water, waiting for the high monk to open his eyes.

"water--"

"Hey! Water, Third Brother, go back with Qing'er and bring Master a cup of tea!" Tian Chaoyu, having recovered from her daze, immediately gave the order, demonstrating her sobriety and efficiency, and casting an expectant look in her eyes.

The two children immediately ran away.

They never slacked off in their efforts to save their sister.

"Ahem, this female benefactor, what this humble monk means is that this girl is a water calamity." The master smiled politely, with a hint of pallor and excitement.

"Master, how do we break this? Boss! Take that one!" Tian Chaoyu quickly replied, understanding the rules of this line of work.

Now is the time to pay; the Tian family just delivered it today.

The head accountant hadn't even had a chance to warm up the food before he hurriedly sent it out.

The master waved his hand, refusing to accept it.

He looked at the family, his eyes showing neither sorrow nor joy.

"If this girl can overcome this calamity at the age of three, she will be safe and sound for the rest of her life. However..."

Upon hearing this, the family was both surprised and delighted.

With her three-year birthday just around the corner, Xia Youtian was about to experience a turning point, but the master's unfinished words were like a cleaver hanging over her head.

"Master! Just tell me! What's the price?" Xia Liangjun finally spoke, his imposing aura blazing, his eyes wide as everything flashed through his mind.

"Amitabha! The solution lies with you all."

"If it succeeds, we are both happy; if it fails, we both perish."

"..."

After the monk finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving the family stunned.

They studied for a long time, and Xia Liangjun even went to Yue's family to look through the classics, venturing into the field of metaphysics that he had never been involved in before.

The final conclusion was reached.

The master meant that my daughter's fate required the help of her family. And the situation was extremely dangerous; it was very likely that both she and her family would perish.

They had the most anxious year of their lives.

The wet nurse had left, and the roof of the uninhabited room had been torn off.

Xia Youmi even gave her soft bed to a girl from the same village, who had been eyeing her delicious bun for a long time. Fortunately, her act of giving away the bed won the little girl's heart, and she pestered her parents to pay double the price.

The three brothers temporarily dropped out of school and stayed home with their books to help out.

The eldest brother, Xia Yisong, even displayed his hunting skills, leading his second and third brothers to roam the mountains and forests, where they actually found some wild game.

Later, they also discovered ways to dig for medicinal herbs.

The little replica of his father, a bookish man, has completely evolved into a domineering hunter.

The eldest sister, Xia Youqing, studied cooking and learned how to process various wild animals, maximizing the value of each piece of meat. She often chopped it into various minced meats and prepared them to feed her younger sister.

At least the whole family managed to raise some meat.

Until winter,

In the last month of Xia Youtian's three-year-old years, they finally witnessed the power of that calamity and the destined one to break it.

You should know that this choice was the subject of much debate among the brothers.

Inspired by the word "flood" and the image of a rising tide, they came up with several of the most feasible contingency plans.

This includes various forms of swimming.

The three brothers used the criteria of who could swim the farthest, who could hold their breath the longest, who could stand in the water, and who could catch fish as the standard, constantly surpassing and selecting the strongest.

Even Xia Liangjun did not slack off.

The three women, besides Xia Youtian, had at least learned to swim under the care of their families. Among them, Xia Youqing was the strongest; her spirit and ability were almost on par with her third brother.

What's even more special is that,

Xia Youqing also developed and put her hypothesis into practice—stewing soup.

She believed that the water calamity might also be caused by what she ate; as long as she was exposed to more water, she would definitely be able to force out the evil thing that was entangled with her younger sister.

Tian Chaoyu, however, always secretly went to the river on rainy days.

Even though her swimming skills were only slightly better than Xia Youmi's, her diligence and perseverance made her a skilled swimmer.

As for Xia Youmi.

She had already done her best to move her hands and feet in the water for her younger sister.

Back then,

She was the worst swimmer and seemed to have no affinity for the water, constantly choking, spitting out, and drinking water.

Seeing their daughter in this state, Xia's parents couldn't bear it.

I stopped supervising her swimming.

They just kept praying that the calamity would not befall the two sisters.

Can,

Fate is capricious; it dragged everyone down with it.

The river breached its banks in the dead of winter—something unheard of! When the report was submitted, the officials hardly believed it!

The entire village went to help with the rescue efforts.

Since everyone knew that the Xia family members could swim, people kept asking them to go and help in various places. In the end, they had no choice but to call on everyone, leaving only Xia Youmi at home to take care of Xia Youtian.

I thought I was safe at home.

Unexpectedly,

The floodwaters rushed towards our doorstep by taking a detour.

This dragged the two into the chaos.
