The two Masters personally led the team to comfort the disaster-stricken people, delivering food and medicine.

Even so, the number of people who lost their homes was overwhelming, and the extent of the disaster in the surrounding villages was far beyond their expectation.

In less than a day, the emergency food supplies in the royal residence were in short supply, and the stored grain and medicines could not last for two days.

The Empress personally issued a decree upon receiving news of the disaster in Capital City, ordering the officials of Xuzhou to provide urgent relief and ensure the safety of the Little Prince, or they would be dismissed from their positions permanently.

The Magistrate of Xuzhou, along with other county officials, rushed to the countryside in haste.

However, due to landslides and huge rocks blocking the roads, the supply convoy carrying food and medicine could not pass. With no other choice, they had to repair the roads while sending people to carry supplies over the mountains to the royal residence.

As the relief supplies could not arrive, the two Masters were driven to despair.

Su Qingluo generously contributed the grain she had stored in a cave to help the villagers through this difficult time.

It was easy to explain the source of the stored grain, as villagers from miles away had come to sell their grain when they heard that Little Lucky Doll was brewing alcohol, making a profit that was double the market price.

With the grain in hand, the two Masters were overjoyed, sending people to collect the food from the cave with Su Qingluo. It was distributed evenly among the families according to the number of people in each household, ensuring everyone had enough food for three days.

When the villagers who had sold their grain saw it had returned, they were moved to tears.

Upon learning that it was Little Lucky Doll who had donated the grain, they were overwhelmed with emotion and collectively knelt down in Woniu Village’s direction.

From then on, the title of Fortune Child completely replaced Su Qingluo’s name.

No matter where she went, villagers would gather around her warmly, admiring the Fortune Child given to them by the heavens.

Two days later, the flood had completely receded. The disaster-stricken villagers returned to their homes, cleaned the washed-out houses, and dug out the remaining daily necessities from the collapsed walls and roofs.

Post-disaster reconstruction was orderly.

Men chopped down trees and moved rocks, mixing mud to build new courtyards and houses, rebuilding their homes.

One by one, the children staying in the cave were picked up by their families as they received the news.

All the families who found their children were eternally grateful to Su Hu’s family and wished to offer their thanks every day.

Three days passed, but three children still had no one to claim them.

The light in the eyes of the three children gradually dimmed, losing the innocence they once possessed.

Su Qingluo made realistic drawings of the three children in the hope of finding their relatives in the upstream villages.

The news that came back was heartbreaking.

The relatives of the three children had all perished in the flood, leaving the children orphaned and helpless in this unprecedented disaster.

Su Hu’s family decided to adopt the three children.

Rushing to repair the roads and enduring five days and nights of harsh conditions, the Magistrate of Xuzhou and his team finally arrived on the sixth day after the flood, bringing a large amount of food and medicine to the royal residence.

The flood had destroyed the farmland, leaving the villagers in great sorrow over half a year’s hard work.

As soon as the relief supplies arrived, the two Female Officials immediately ordered the food to be distributed equally among the affected households.

Woniu Village, situated near the Weishui River, was severely affected, with twelve demolished houses.

The newly-built mansion of the Su Clan had fortunately survived, as it was the only house in the village that hadn’t collapsed.

Thinking of the villagers, Su Hu cleaned and cleared the mansion, squeezing the family in the spare rooms and offering the extra space for the homeless elders and children of the village to live in.
