C73 (2/2)

That person heaved a sigh of relief. ”I'll take you home.”

He even knew where Susu's family was. Almost every day, he would go out with Susu and go to the tavern while was just a maid at the pier.

The man did not say a word and carried Susu on his back. Susu saw that the two people were tied up tightly with a hemp rope and thrown into the bushes.

After bringing Susu into the house, she came out to thank the man a thousand times. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a wooden chair falling to the ground, and his aunt ran back in fright, her daughter actually hanged herself.

”Susu!” The Auntie Chen screamed out in fear. The man had only taken a few steps before she came back. Seeing that the young lady was hanging on the beam, the aunt hugged his leg tightly.

”Susu, how can you abandon mother …” Auntie Chen cried as she hugged the unconscious Susu. Fortunately her daughter was still alive.

”Auntie, you better guard her.” ”I'm afraid she won't be able to get over it.”

Auntie Chen sobbed until she regained her senses, then choked: ”Young lad, can I ask you one more thing? Do you know about Ling Xiao Inn, can you help me deliver a message?”

When the people in the inn saw that the strangers had come to send off the message, inviting them to the village, Xiaowan did not know what had happened.

Ling Chaofeng rode her over. On the way, he saw something hidden in the bushes, but it seemed to be rushing over to see Susu. It did not stop for even a second.

After seeing the mother and daughter duo, knowing that Susu had been kidnapped by people on the way and her clothes were all torn, Ling Chaofeng finally realized that the beast that was tied up in the grass was actually the young man who saved Susu.

Xiaowan was extremely sad. When Susu woke up, she hugged him and cried, boiling hot water to give him a bath. She rubbed him again and again, almost removing a layer of her skin.

Ling Chaofeng came to ask her what he wanted to do with those two brutes. Susu shook her head and laid in the arms of the Xiaowan, she simply did not want to bring it up again.

Because there were guests staying in the inn, they were afraid that they would suddenly return during the day, so they left Ershan to look at the shops. Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang came as well.

The whole family sat under the roof and discussed, saying that they couldn't let Susu go to the inn alone in the morning anymore.

The Aunt Zhang said angrily, ”We have been here for more than ten years. Although the road is desolate, this has never happened. It is truly an eye-opener.”

He then said, ”Why don't we go and live in the store? We can take care of each other, and you two are here too. We can't be at ease.”

It was almost noon by then. Uncle Biao got up and said, ”I'll cook dinner for you.”

Auntie Chen hurriedly said: ”Big Brother Zhang, I'll do it. You rest.”

While they were being modest, Auntie Chen saw the little brother who saved Susu's life. He seemed to have come here to take a look, but when she suddenly saw the people in the courtyard, she actually didn't dare to enter anymore.

”Thank you, young man.” Auntie Chen ran out, ”You haven't eaten, right? Come and eat, let me thank you properly.”

Inside the room, Aunt Zhang entered and gently said to Susu: ”Don't be afraid, just treat this as a nightmare and once you wake up from your dream, everything will be fine. Are you really going to abandon your mother and die?”

Xiaowan asked: ”Aunt, who is outside?”

Aunt Zhang said: ”It's the young lad who saved Susu. I think she was afraid that something might have happened to Susu and came here specially to eat with him.”

Susu's eyes suddenly lit up, and said to Xiaowan: I want to see him.

They helped Susu out, and the tanned young man said to the Auntie Chen: ”Aunt, just call me Da Qing, I'm living at the back of the village, there's food at home, I'm going back to eat.”

When Susu was supported to the roof, she knelt down towards Da Qing. Xiaowan did not stop him, scaring the young lad to the core yet she did not dare to reach out to support her, and said: ”Miss, do not be like this, we will stay in the village.”

Susu's tears fell like rain: ”Thank you big brother, thank you …”

Seeing that, the Xiaowan ran over to tell him. He cupped her fists towards Da Qing and said: ”I sold these two beasts to the slave trader, the silver that I sold you, I'll give it to you, little brother.”

Xiaowan asked his husband, ”Why did you sell them out? Did you ask them why they were stuck there?”

Ling Chaofeng's expression became serious: ”Relax, I've asked all the questions I need to know.”
