The Hunter's Lively Wife-Chapter 94 - Rescued
Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Rescued
Su Ningxiu had been tied up for a day and hadn’t eaten anything. She felt numb all over. When Su Zhongshi untied her, Su Ningxiu tried to stand, but as soon as she got up, she stumbled and fell. Thankfully, her father Su Zhongshi caught her in time. “Ningxiu, are you alright?” he asked with concern.
Gazing at his daughter, Su Zhongshi’s face was filled with concern. Su Ningxiu looked at Su Zhongshi and shook her head. “Dad, I’m alright, just a bit numb in my legs!”
“Big sister, you’ve been tied up all day; no wonder your legs are numb. Come on, let me help you out!” Su Yunjin took the initiative to help Su Ningxiu up.
Su Ningxiu seemed to remember something and pointed towards a corner of the firewood shed. “Xiaobao, Xiaobao was also tied up by them! Mom, Dad, hurry and untie Xiaobao too.”
Previously, Su Yunjin and the rest had been solely focused on Su Ningxiu and hadn’t noticed that little Xiaobao was also in the tiny firewood shed.
After Su Ningxiu spoke, looking in the direction she pointed, Su Yunjin and Mrs. Shen only then realized, belatedly, that Su Xiaobao was also tied up behind a pile of firewood in the corner.
...
Mrs. Shen was the first to cry out in shock. “How is Xiaobao here too?” She hadn’t seen Su Xiaobao for the better part of the day and had found it odd. Ever since Xiaobao learned that his grandma wanted to marry off his big sister, he had been the most rebellious, like an angry little lion protesting that no one should marry off his sister. Today, he had suddenly become quiet. Mrs. Shen thought her son had gone somewhere to sulk in sadness, not expecting that her son had also been tied up in the firewood shed by the malevolent Mrs. Tao!
“Mom, Xiaobao was locked up in the firewood shed by Mrs. Tao last night!” Xiaobao was just a child, yet the heartless Mrs. Tao had tied him up in the firewood shed and gagged his mouth with a cloth to stop him from crying out.
Su Ningxiu was still somewhat angry when mentioning this. Su Yunjin hurriedly went to Xiaobao and pulled the cloth from his mouth, while Mrs. Shen hurried over to help untie him.
Xiaobao, being so young and having been starved for so long, was already semi-conscious. Seeing his son tormented to this state by Mrs. Tao, Su Zhongshi’s heart ached terribly. “Xiaobao, Xiaobao, are you alright? Dad’s here,” he said, somewhat alarmed by Xiaobao’s drowsy appearance.
Su Yunjin, who knew medical skills, realized that Xiaobao was starved and quickly reassured her father, “Dad, Xiaobao is fine, he’s just starved like this. Don’t worry, let’s carry him out and give him something to eat. Xiaobao should wake up very soon.”
“Then let’s hurry. We need to get something to eat for Ningxiu and Xiaobao.” Besides his son, Su Zhongshi knew that his daughter Su Ningxiu must also be very hungry.
But Su Ningxiu was older and could endure hunger a bit better than Xiaobao.

Without further delay, Su Zhongshi carried Xiaobao, while Su Yunjin and Mrs. Shen supported Ningxiu. Together, the family walked out from the firewood shed.
By the time Su Yunjin and the others went out, the courtyard was empty. Not only had Mrs. Tao and her group disappeared, but even the onlooking villagers had all left.
Su Yunjin inwardly surmised that Su Xiaofu must have been taken to the Governor’s Office by Mrs. Liang, otherwise Mrs. Tao and the people in the courtyard wouldn’t all have left, not a single one staying behind and no longer concerning themselves with Su Xiaofu’s issue. Now, the most important thing was to bring her second sister Su Ningxiu and her younger brother Xiaobao back to the house to get them something to eat and restore their strength.
