Grandma Liu rushed over urgently, failing to stop Little Mengbao, her face full of guilt.

Li Xiu’e came over with a solemn expression, “Xuan’er has been crying and hasn’t eaten lunch or dinner. Nothing we do seems to soothe him.”

“Xuan’er, why aren’t you eating? You silly child.”

Su Qingluo felt a sharp pang in her heart upon hearing this and took Little Mengbao to their resting area.

“Sister Yu, Brother Meng, you two are soaked. Change your clothes first.”

Li Xiu’e felt a deep sorrow for the two children who had been laboring in the floodwaters all day. She turned to Grandma Liu, “Prepare some ginger soup for them.”

“Ah, I will prepare the soup right away.”

Grandma Liu immediately headed towards the stove.

Su Ziqin and Su Zixuan had returned earlier, already having changed their clothes and had dinner.

Seeing their younger siblings return safely, they were both elated. They helped draw the curtains, providing privacy for their younger siblings to change their clothes.

After changing her clothes, Su Qingluo took out the Spiritual Medicine from her Storage Ring and applied it to the Little Prince’s palm. Seeing his swollen eyelids from crying, she also applied some there.

The effects of the Spiritual Medicine were immediately apparent. The cut in his palm stopped bleeding and the swelling on his eyelids gradually disappeared.

As his palm stopped hurting, the Little Prince’s sobs eventually ceased.

Grandma Liu brought the ginger soup. Su Qingluo drank half of it, offering the remaining half to Little Mengbao.

“Xuan’er, be good. Drink some ginger soup, the cave is cold. If you don’t eat or drink, you’ll get sick.”

“Sister should drink too. You’ve been soaked all day, and you’ll get sick if you don’t drink.”

The Little Prince shook his head, pushing the bowl back with his tiny hands.

Although he was small, he was incredibly smart and had understood what the adults were discussing.

He knew his sister was risking her life to rescue people in the raging floods.

Thoughts of his sister being in danger made him unable to control his tears, causing him to cry on and off throughout the day.

“Grandma Liu made a lot of ginger syrup, let’s drink it together.”

A warm glint flashed across Su Qingluo’s eyes as she finished the remaining half bowl of ginger soup, asking Grandma Liu to refill her bowl.

Seeing his sister drink, the Little Prince followed suit, taking small sips.

The ginger syrup was slightly spicy, causing discomfort in his throat. He didn’t like it.

Su Qingluo watched his adorable grimacing face, smiling as she took out some rock sugar from her Storage Ring, crushed it, and added it to the bowl.

The sweetness of the rock sugar made the ginger syrup less spicy. The Little Prince showed a happy smile on his face, sipping it with delight.

Grandma Wang brought over rice porridge, steamed buns, and pickles, the children managed to eat.

Wang Meng was starving and gobbled up five steamed buns and drank three bowls of porridge in one go.

Su Qingluo, having surpassed her hunger, didn’t feel as hungry anymore, eating just half a steamed bun with some pickles.

The Little Prince had a small appetite. Seeing him skip meals all day, Li Xiu’e was worried and asked Grandma Liu to specially prepare some Minced Meat Porridge for him, adding some spinach, so that he could warm his stomach.

The Little Prince used a small spoon to scoop up the porridge, taking a sip and then stuffing a mouthful into his sister’s mouth, insisting on eating together with his sister.

Su Qingluo indulged him, opening her mouth to wait for his feeding.

With every mouthful, Little Mengbao would chuckle happily, his dewy large eyes forming small crescents.

As the siblings were cheerfully eating porridge, Su Ziqin, wearing a worried expression, came over to inquire about the two masters.

The winds were strong, and waves were surging at night. The two masters braved the storm to lead the search for survivors, indeed posing a great risk.

Su Qingluo’s countenance darkened, she too was worried for the two masters.

“I’ll go down the mountain early tomorrow to help the two masters settle the survivors.”
