Chapter 415: Help from a Benefactor
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Speaking of which, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu were lucky.
During this period of time, the two of them had been nourished by the pills made by Li Shun and their bodies had improved bit by bit.
Although the effect wasn’t very conspicuous, it nurtured their bodies very well.
Therefore, this time, the two of them only stayed unconscious for half an hour before waking up.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be unconscious for about twenty hours.
It was also because the other party didn’t know their physiques that Li Shun and Zhao Xiu woke up halfway. Then, the two of them successfully untied the rope and escaped.
“I sewed a small carved knife into my sleeve. It was very small and sharp, so the other party didn’t discover this carved knife. When I woke up and realized that I was tied up, I quickly went to get the knife and cut the rope bit by bit before escaping. At that time, there was fog in the mountains, so we got lost!” Li Shun explained what had happened.
“That’s right. It was almost dark and we heard some howls from wolves and tigers. We were so frightened that we quickly ran again. As we ran, we felt that something was following us, so we ran all the way. In the end, we fell into a mud pit, but then we got up to run again. Fortunately, as we ran, we saw flames here, so we came here to ask for help!” Zhao Xiu added.
This was what Li Shun and Zhao Xiu had experienced for the day.
When Li Xiaoran saw that her parents were frightened, she couldn’t bear to scold them.
After all, her parents had taken the risk because they were worried about them.
“Alright, Father, Mother, don’t do such a dangerous thing next time! Go lie on the bed and sleep! Luo Cheng and I are fine, and you guys are very safe now, so go to sleep. Let’s go down the mountain and go home tomorrow!” Li Xiaoran said.
Li Shun and Zhao Xiu also felt tired and wanted to rest.
Just as he sat by the bed, Li Shun suddenly thought of something.
“Luo Cheng, a few days ago, a constable brought your portraits to me and a lot of people. It seemed that he was here to capture you and Xiaoran. Later, Luo Han came and said something to that constable. Then, that constable changed his mind and said that he was here to eat noodles.”
When Luo Cheng heard this, he nodded and said with a smile, “Father, we’re really fine. Don’t worry! We’ll go down the mountain with you guys tomorrow!”
Li Shun nodded when he heard his son-in-law’s words, then lay down and fell asleep.
Not long after, Li Shun started snoring. When Li Xiaoran heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“My father is so happy-go-lucky!”
“That’s good. This wav. he won’t keeD evervthing bottled uD inside!” Luo Cheng also smiled and replied, “Aren’t you tired? I’ll put down two wooden boards for you. Make do with it and sleep!”
Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, “I’m fine. Although I’ve been tired these few days, I’ve been sleeping well every day. Now that I’m close to home, I don’t feel sleepy anymore!”
At this point, Li Xiaoran lowered her voice and approached Luo Cheng to ask,
“Husband, who do you think lured my parents here and knocked them out?
Why did the other party do this?”
Luo Cheng shook his head when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“Don’t think too much about it. We’ll know when we go back tomorrow! Previously, I said that we should change our appearance first and go back to see the situation, but now, I think it’s unnecessary! The other party will only focus on us if we show ourselves. If we don’t show ourselves, the other party will definitely target our relatives. So, let’s go home openly tomorrow!”
Li Xiaoran felt that Luo Cheng’s words made sense and nodded.
“Alright! Then I’ll sleep for a while!”
Luo Cheng quickly went to get the wooden board and placed it by the fire before letting Li Xiaoran sleep.
After everyone in the house fell asleep, Luo Cheng placed some firewood in the fire and lay down beside Li Xiaoran to sleep.
With the protection of the stone house, there was no need for anyone to keep watch at night and he could also sleep peacefully tonight.
The next morning, the chirping of birds in the forest made Li Xiaoran open her eyes.
At this moment, Luo Cheng was already sitting by the stove and boiling a pot of hot water.
There was nothing left to eat at the stone house except for some taros that had been cooked yesterday.
After Li Xiaoran went out to wash up, she came back and poured hot water into the wooden basin.
After that, the pot was filled with taros and wild boar meat.
After everyone got up, they took a bite and extinguished the fire. Then, they closed the door of the stone house and went down the mountain.
By the time they reached the house, things were in chaos.
When Li Xiaoqing saw that her parents had returned unharmed, she immediately walked forward and hugged Zhao Xiu.
“Father, Mother, where did you guys go? Do you know that I was scared to death when you guys didn’t come back for the entire night?!” Li Xiaoqing hugged her mother as she wailed.
At this moment, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu felt extremely guilty.
Not only had they failed to save their eldest daughter, but they had almost gotten themselves killed.
Their youngest daughter was so frightened that she wailed. This made them feel very guilty.
“Your parents are back safely, so don’t cry anymore!” At this moment, an old lady walked forward.
When Luo Cheng saw the old lady appear, he was immediately surprised.
“Granny Qiu, when did you arrive?”
“I’ve been here for a few days already!” When Granny Qiu saw Luo Cheng, she smiled. “Your parents-in-law are quite bold! If I hadn’t followed them and dealt with that man, you might not have been able to see them today!” When Luo Cheng heard Granny Qiu’s words, he immediately understood.
“So you helped. No wonder!”
When Li Xiaoqing heard this, she was immediately stunned.
“Huh? Did you save my parents?”
Li Shun and Zhao Xiu also looked over in surprise.
“What did the two of you see? Have you learned your lesson yesterday? Are you going to make decisions so recklessly in the future?”
Li Shun and Zhao Xiu immediately understood.
“We woke up there not because the person who plotted against us left us there, but because you helped us?” Li Shun asked.
“What do you think? Did you think they’d be merciful enough to let you guys off? How naive! Why don’t you think about it? You’re your son-in-law and daughter’s greatest weakness. Once you fall into the hands of others, your daughter and son-in-law will be in a passive position!” Granny Qiu snorted and lectured them.
This time, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu lowered their heads.
They really didn’t expect their rash actions to almost cause so much trouble for their daughter and son-in-law..
