As she spoke, she was about to get out of bed.
Lu Xingjian reached out to stop her: "Take care of yourself first. I will have the Su family come to see you."
As he spoke, he handed her the bowl of porridge he was holding.
Having not eaten or drunk anything for a day and a night, she felt weak and sore all over, so she quickly took the bowl of porridge and drank it down.
Then he stared longingly at Lu Xingjian.
Lu Xingjian's expression was serious: "It's getting dark. Get some sleep first, and we'll see you tomorrow."

He turned every seemingly hopeless situation around, saving lives from the brink of defeat.
My father is so shrewd.
We shouldn't be at the mercy of others.
The Su family is not without its own resources; they shouldn't be completely unprepared.
She was too impulsive.
One should be more cautious and calm when encountering danger.
Thinking of this, she felt a tightness in her chest.
Was her little baby terrified?
The Su family is in such a precarious situation, what should we do?
