Chapter 373 Liu Qiaomei is rescued
Everyone began to provide first aid to the elderly Mrs. Wang, and they managed to save her life, preventing any major incidents from happening.

But after Mrs. Wang realized what had happened, she still cried and wailed over the shoes. Everyone was very puzzled, saying that they had searched the area and found no clues.

Where did this person go? Some of the more talkative villagers said, "Judging from the looks of it, he probably got carried off by a wild wolf in the mountains."

In fact, everyone had their doubts after seeing this scene. Su Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself, "Could Liu Qiaomei be so unfortunate? This child has had a hard life since she was a child, and now she has died on this mountain and been eaten by wild animals. Isn't that a tragedy?" Su Xiaoxiao felt sorry for Liu Qiaomei. How old was she? She hadn't even been betrothed yet and she was already eaten by wolves.
Su Xiaoxiao was unwilling to accept it. She felt no sadness at all as the old lady Wang cried and called out Su Bingcheng's name.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that Su Bingcheng was neither one more nor one less in this world, and she didn't care anyway.

Those kinds of bad people should die sooner rather than later.

However, Su Xiaoxiao actually felt quite sorry for Liu Qiaomei.

Su Xiaoxiao searched the area thoroughly, but couldn't find Liu Qiaomei anywhere. She couldn't even find anything on Liu Qiaomei's person.

Su Xiaoxiao's heart began to feel new hope. She slowly looked ahead. In the dark night, she had a feeling that someone was calling to her from ahead.

"Ping An, I see what looks like a light ahead."

Su Xiaoxiao pointed towards the small wooden house in front of them, and everyone looked in that direction. Even Old Mrs. Wang quickly stopped crying. She stopped wailing too. In the pitch-black night, a faint red light could indeed be seen emanating from the small wooden house.

Everyone started running towards the small wooden house ahead, as if that was where their hope lay. At this moment, Old Mrs. Wang also hoped that nothing had happened to her son, Su Bingcheng, which is why she thought of following along with that hope.

The cabin ahead was still a distance away, so everyone hurried over. When they arrived at the cabin, they found that the door was locked from the outside, but they could see a sliver of light inside, as if there was a fire.

They quickly pried open the lock and saw that there was still a fire in the small stove inside the cabin.

A woman was lying next to the stove. Su Xiaoxiao could tell from the woman's figure that it was Liu Qiaomei.
But Liu Qiaomei didn't turn around; she remained lying there motionless.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly walked over to Liu Qiaomei and gently touched her body. She found that Liu Qiaomei's body was soft and swaying, indicating that she was alright and seemed to be asleep.

"Qiao Mei, wake up! We're coming to save you!"

This time, Su Xiaoxiao pushed Liu Qiaomei awake with all her might, and Liu Qiaomei woke up from her sleep.

She stayed close to the fire, where it was warmer. She had nothing to eat that night and was very cold. There was no way anyone would pass by here, and besides, it was so late that she didn't even have the strength to call for help.

The wild animals in the mountains were still roaring incessantly, and she was so frightened that she cried. She dared not make a sound and could only lean against the stove, where she unknowingly fell asleep.

However, if it weren't for the stove in her room, which prevented others from discovering the place, she would have been truly grateful to Su Bingcheng for lighting the stove, which provided a little light in the darkness and allowed everyone to discover it in the end.

Liu Qiaomei thought she was dreaming. She looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who grabbed Liu Qiaomei's hand and shook it, saying, "Qiaomei, I finally found you! It was really hard. What are you doing here? Are you hurt?" However, Su Xiaoxiao noticed a piece of cloth wrapped around Liu Qiaomei's knee, and it seemed that blood was seeping out.

"Your leg……"

When Liu Qiaomei grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand, she truly realized that she wasn't dreaming. It was all real; Su Xiaoxiao had actually brought so many people up the mountain to find her.

In that instant, all the grievances that had been building up inside her burst forth. Liu Qiaomei hugged Su Xiaoxiao's leg and started crying.

After a long while, she finally finished crying.

Su Xiaoxiao gently stroked her head and said, "Don't cry anymore. We'll talk about it when we get back!"

However, after taking a look inside the house, they found that the small wooden cabin was easy to see and did not see Su Bingcheng.

Grandma Wang, watching anxiously from the side, rushed forward and asked urgently, "Liu Qiaomei, didn't you see our Su Bingcheng? Didn't he come up the mountain with you?"

Upon hearing the name Su Bingcheng, Liu Qiaomei paused for a moment, then shook her head coldly and said, "I don't know, didn't he leave a long time ago?"

When Mrs. Wang saw Liu Qiaomei like this, she was unhappy.

"Some villagers saw you and my son Su Bingcheng go up the mountain together. How come you're all alone now? Where's my son? Where did he go?"

Suddenly, Liu Qiaomei shrank back in fear, hugging Su Xiaoxiao and muttering, "I don't know..."

Grandma Wang panicked. She rushed over, grabbed Liu Qiaomei, and pulled her in front of her, shaking her and asking, "Tell me! Where did my son go? Tell me, did you hide him? Or did you kill him?!"

Liu Qiaomei was so dizzy from being shaken that she couldn't even speak.

"Don't touch her! I'll ask her!"

Su Xiaoxiao knew that Liu Qiaomei's mental state wasn't very good right now. If she were forced to answer questions like this, she might not be able to give a clear answer. With so many people suddenly surrounding her, she would probably be terrified, especially since she had just been rescued. Furthermore, Liu Qiaomei's past experiences had a significant impact on her. She had been kidnapped twice by Master Huang and imprisoned in a dungeon, living in near darkness. In fact, when Liu Qiaomei was released, she was traumatized for a time.

This child is so pitiful, Su Xiaoxiao wouldn't let Old Madam Wang interrogate her like that, lest Liu Qiaomei break down.

Su Xiaoxiao came over to comfort Liu Qiaomei, and after a while asked her, "Didn't you go up the mountain with Su Bingcheng? Where is he now? Why are you locked in this small wooden house all by yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiaomei burst into tears.

She pieced together, in fits and starts, how Su Bingcheng tried to force himself on her, how he locked her in a cabin when she refused, and how he left her there to do nothing.
