“Woo woo.”
Little Baby sensed her hesitation and pouted with a grievance, then began to sob again.
“Hey, hey, don’t cry. I’ll hold you.”
Su Qingluo was momentarily flustered and instinctively reached forward to hold the little one in her arms.
Little Baby was lighter than she had imagined, feeling as light as a newly born civet kitten in her arms, without any pressure.
Poor little fellow, the poisoning had worn his body down.
As she let out a sigh of relief, she also felt a pang of heartache. She jumped down from the carriage, carefully holding him in her arms to shield his eyes, so he wouldn’t see the bloody scene outside.
Little Baby’s soft and cute body trembled slightly, his small hand clutching her clothes tightly, his tear-streaked face pressed against her chest.
The subtle fragrance unique to little girls drifted into her nose unintentionally, carrying a hint of sweetness, provoking thoughts.
He sniffed his little nose, took a few deep breaths, and with the intoxicating sweetness soothing him, he stopped crying in sobs.
Su Hu dragged the injured woman into the carriage, and Little Kingfisher came back with the horse, putting on the reins.
Seeing that the carriage was ready, Su Qingluo held Little Baby and jumped onto the front shaft, “Dad, you go and call Mom, Sister, and Brother over. Let’s take this carriage.”
“Alright.”
Su Hu, who was accustomed to trusting his daughter, didn’t hesitate at all and soon brought Li Xiu’e and her two children back.
Upon encountering such an incident, Li Xiu’e, Sister Qiao, and Doudou had worried expressions. They crossed over the ground full of dead bodies, with frightened and shaky legs.
Sister Qiao covered her eyes, not daring to look. Fortunately, Doudou was supporting her, so she didn’t trip over the corpses.
Once the mother and her two children climbed into the carriage, Su Hu gritted his teeth, jumped onto the carriage shaft, brandished the whip, and tightened the reins, trying to control the carriage.
Su Qingluo sat beside him, holding Little Baby and vigilantly observing the surroundings.
Little Kingfisher flew down from the low altitude, landed on the horse’s head, and chirped to command the horse forward.
Upon hearing its command, the horse neighed loudly, raised its front hooves, and trotted forward.
“Pah pah.”
Su Hu breathed a sigh of relief, imitating the coachman’s movement, cracking the whip a few times in the air, and secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The horse trotted forward, and under Little Kingfisher’s guidance, they smoothly entered Mingshui County before the city gate closed at dusk.
Mingshui County Town was built along the Weishui River and surrounded by mountains and rivers. The tributaries of Weishui River flowed past the foot of the mountain outside the city, and there were also branches flowing within the city.
Inside the county town, semi-circular stone arch bridges could be seen everywhere, with long willows hanging down to the ground, creating picturesque scenery with small bridges and flowing streams.
Driving the carriage into the county town, Su Hu didn’t have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery and instead asked locals for directions to the most famous medical hall, the Relief Medical Hall.
There were temporary beds for patients in the Relief Medical Hall. With the help of the assistants, Su Hu carried the unconscious woman into the backyard, paid the consultation fee, and left her in the care of the attending physician.
Directly opposite the Relief Medical Hall was a small inn. The couple decided to stay there for convenience, as it provided easy access to the medical hall and allowed them to take care of the injured woman.
The inn was small, with only two floors and a total of ten rooms.
Su Hu drove the carriage directly into the backyard, handed the horse over to the assistant, booked three vacant rooms, prepaid for three days, and led his family up to the second floor with the help of the assistant.
Among the three guest rooms, Su Hu shared a room with Doudou, Li Xiu’e shared one with Sister Qiao, and Su Qingluo shared one with the little child.
Due to her own little secret, Su Qingluo insisted on having a single room since she began to speak.
Su Hu and Li Xiu’e pampered her and indulged her every request, so they let her sleep alone.
