The Weishui River was hundreds of meters wide, and with the surging waters, the river’s width had more than doubled. The shallow beaches on either side were submerged, as well as the ferry crossing. Those living near the river had ankle-deep water in their homes.

Braving the rain, Su Qingluo crossed the river against the waves. Her petite figure stepped on the reeds, rising and falling with the surging waves.

Upon reaching the opposite bank, she chose a quiet spot, slipped onto land, jumped onto the roof, and quickly moved from one rooftop to another.

Willow Tree Village was on higher ground, and the rising waters had not yet reached it.

Despite the strong wind and rain, Su Qingluo arrived at her grandfather’s house within an hour. She then appeared before the elderly couple.

Li Xiu’e’s father had experienced a flood in his younger days, and the terrifying memory was still fresh in his mind.

Upon hearing her purpose, he immediately decided that the family should move to a cave for shelter until the rain stopped before returning home.

Li Xiu’e’s big brother was a filial son and complied with whatever their father said.

The family quickly packed up, planning to head to the mountains early the next morning.

With one word, Su Qingluo relayed Li Xiu’e’s instructions, and then hurried back home.

On returning to the ferry crossing, she deliberately took a detour to visit the Imperial Residence.

She informed the two masters of the rising waters and potential flood risk, asking them to make necessary preparations in advance.

Xu Yanru and Zhang Wenlin took the matter seriously and immediately ordered the Imperial Guards to go door-to-door, persuading villagers to head to the mountains for shelter.

All the attendants in the Imperial Residence prepared for the flood to minimize the damage after its arrival.

At the end of July, during the summer vacation, Su Qingluo passed by the Thatched Cottage Academy on her way back. Seeing the tightly closed doors and empty halls, she felt relieved and quietly left.

By the time she returned home, crossing the river on reeds, Su Hu and his wife had packed their valuables in jars and buried them in the cellar.

Feeling awkward to stay in the house, the two Imperial Shadow Guards, Jifeng and Jiyu, busy themselves with preparations.

They had bundled up everything that could be taken, including food and vegetables, and placed them under the eaves, ready to be transported to the mountains as soon as Wang Meng found a cave.

Entering the house under the heavy rain, Su Qingluo had just taken off her rain gear when a soft and lovely figure rushed out of the main hall.

The Little Prince clung to his sister’s arm, asking her to hold him, with suspicion of tears in his eyes.

“Mom, there’s no need to worry about grandfather’s house.”

Su Qingluo picked up the little boy and gently patted his back to comfort him.

“What did your first uncle say?”

Li Xiu’e’s eyes lit up, showing her delight.

Su Qingluo smiled brightly: “He told you not to worry as he would take his family up the mountain tomorrow, hide in the cave for a while until the rain stops, and then return.”

“Great, this relieves my worries.”

Li Xiu’e’s heart, suspended all afternoon, finally settled down.

“Sister Yu, what do we need to prepare? Should we bring pots and pans as well?”

Su Hu asked his daughter out of habit.

Su Qingluo decisively replied: “Bring everything, and chop some firewood in advance to let it dry.”

“We’ll take care of chopping the wood.”

Jifeng chimed in: “We can chop it nearby the cave.”

“Chop more for backup.”

Su Qingluo was meticulous: “It’s cold and damp in the cave. I’m afraid Xuan’er won’t adapt and catch a cold. We need to keep a fire going constantly to drive away the damp and cold.”

“Understood, leave it to us.”

Jifeng nodded, and he and Jiyu exchanged glances before silently placing their swords into the bamboo basket..
