Chapter 282: Sui Sui Saves a Person

The little child inside Jiashan was clearly not in good condition.

Princess Consort of Qi watched the other's slight twitching and couldn't help but worry.

Lu Xing Lan couldn't bear to look either; she had a child herself, so she knew the child looked sick, twitching, and didn't know how much pain it was in.

But even the most slender maid couldn't get in; everyone strained to reach but still couldn't.

Everyone was anxious, straining while turning in circles.

Sui Sui saw how miserable the little brother was, gently wrapped her arms around Mother Consort's neck, and said softly, "Mother Consort, let me go see; I'm small, I can squeeze in."

Princess Consort of Qi naturally was not happy.

She pitied other people's children, but she would not risk her own child.

The child's condition was wrong; if Sui Sui went in and the other hurt someone, what then?

Princess Consort of Qi wanted to refuse, but Sui Sui was already gently swaying in her arms: "Mother Consort, just let me go; I can do it; the little brother is suffering so much."

The other's curled-up form in the corner of Jiashan looked very much like Sui Sui from before.

Curled up in the chicken coop, the woodshed, every possible corner that could give her safety.

Such loneliness, helpless and pitiable.

Sui Sui might not understand, but at this moment her inner softness and Gentleness were actually a roundabout pampering of her former overly pitiable self.

She only knew that seeing the little brother suffer so much made her feel uneasy.

So she strove to win permission, wanting to tell Mother Consort to let her go.

Sui Sui insisted; the child's condition was not good either; after Princess Consort of Qi hesitated repeatedly, she reluctantly let Sui Sui go: "First call him a few times; if there's no response, we'll pat him; if the situation is wrong, we'll come out, don't get hurt; in Mother Consort's heart, nothing is more precious than you..."

Although it was just going into Jiashan to save a child, Princess Consort of Qi was still extremely uneasy.

She wished she could give more instructions, fearing Sui Sui wouldn't remember.

No matter how much Princess Consort of Qi said, Sui Sui obediently stood there listening.

Although she couldn't remember everything, she knew she had to listen to Mother Consort's words.

Seeing Sui Sui nod heavily, Princess Consort of Qi's heart finally felt a bit relieved.

Under Princess Consort of Qi's reluctant gaze and Lu Xing Lan's worried eyes, Sui Sui hurried toward the small passage in Jiashan.

Sui Sui was small and slipped in easily.

Princess Consort of Qi felt her heart tighten, quickly gestured for everyone to gather, and quietly told Xiang Gugu and Aunt Qiu: "If the situation goes wrong, immediately reach out and pull Sui Sui out."

In Princess Consort of Qi's heart, even if the one curled up in Jiashan were a prince, he would still not be as important as Sui Sui.

So if the other really was ill and deliriously attacked people, she would certainly protect her daughter and not care about others.

Sui Sui darted in, gently approached the boy curled up and twitching, and said, "Little brother, are you okay?"

No one answered; only the boy's body jerked twice more.

Sui Sui lightly pressed her lips, stepped forward two more paces, as Mother Consort had instructed, raised her hand and gently patted the other's back twice: "Hello, little brother, I'm Sui Sui; may I ask, are you okay?"

Still no response, but the body continued to twitch.

At the same time, Sui Sui also sensed something abnormal.

She pulled her hand back, looked at it, as if she couldn't believe it, then gently raised her hand and patted the other again.

Hot!

The other's body heat, even through clothing, felt hot to the touch.

High fever.

Such an illness can take a life at any moment.

Especially a child's life.

Sui Sui had been ill before, so she was very experienced with this.

So after sensing the abnormality, Sui Sui turned her head in fright, looking through the crack in Jiashan toward Mother Consort: "Mother Consort, he's burning hot!"

Sui Sui also wanted to ask, "Will he die like this?"

But being a little child, she was a bit afraid and didn't dare say more.

Upon hearing this, Princess Consort of Qi felt her heart clench as well when she learned the child had a fever.

Although they didn't yet know who the other was, they were all parents and couldn't bear to see such a thing.

So Princess Consort of Qi, at this moment unable to attend to anything else, gestured for Sui Sui to come out through the earlier crack: "See if you can drag the brother out; if not, pull him outward a bit so the sisters can help pull him out."

Sui Sui is small and weak; truly having her pull a brother larger than her is still quite strenuous.

But Sui Sui can think of a way: scooch the child out of the crack a bit, to a spot where others can reach, then let the adults take over, and it will be much easier.

With Mother Consort directing, Sui Sui instantly steadied herself, nodded obediently, stepped forward, and prepared to grab the little brother's clothing to pull him out.

However, Xiang Gugu had said that little children should be polite and know etiquette.

Sui Sui thought, before pulling someone, she should also say hello first?

Thinking of these, Sui Sui said softly, "Little brother, I'm going to pull you out; I might have to grab your clothes, which could dirty them or hurt you; I'm not a bad person, I'm trying to save you!"

The evening story sessions, occasional recent enlightenment, plus Xiang Gugu's teachings, still have some use.

Formerly Sui Sui couldn't even speak long sentences; now her articulation is becoming clearer, and long sentences can often be spoken clearly.

After Sui Sui finished speaking a long string of words, she felt quite impressed with herself.

Seeing that the little brother besides his body twitching had no other response, Sui Sui stepped forward quickly, grabbed the back of his collar, and exerted all her strength to pull him outward.

The little brother didn't budge at all.

Sui Sui:?

Everyone: …

Careless.

The child is small, so her strength is small too.

Just thinking about letting someone in, but unexpectedly, she couldn't pull either!

Princess Consort of Qi, fearing the child would suffer a setback, was about to comfort her with a few words, when she saw Sui Sui let out a hey-ha and then stepped forward again.

Sui Sui felt that wasn't right!

She used to be able to drag even big tree roots and long branches.

Now how come she can't even tug a person?

Can't pull up, could it be that she can't even drag?

Unconvinced, Sui Sui, striving to sink her qi into her dantian (?), at the same time gave herself an extra boost, then stepped forward again.

This time, Sui Sui learned to be smarter, one hand gripping the other's collar, the other hand gripping the other's sleeve, both hands exerting force together: 'hey-ha ya!'

Sui Sui, while pulling, also shouted a slogan to herself.

The first time, still couldn't move it.

Princess Consort of Qi watched anxiously, hoping Sui Sui would come out first.

Lady Lu and the others probably will send people over soon, so let's wait for their arrangements.

But, one or two failures didn't make Sui Sui give up.

She readjusted her point of force, then pulled again: 'hey-ha!'

The second watch is at 19:00.
