“Save the others first!” Wei Mingting instructed the man who had just come down.

The man nodded and first lifted the unconscious boy through the opening, where others above helped pull him to safety. Next were the boy’s parents, followed by Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong.

Once outside, they were both surprised and overjoyed to find that their rescuers were Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo.

Xu Zhengyong was on the verge of calling out “Sister Ruo’er,” but held back.

Normally, no matter how much his parents corrected him, Xu Zhengyong would shamelessly call her “Sister Ruo’er” the moment he saw her. But now, despite his excitement at seeing Wei Ruo, he didn’t say it out loud. He knew that with others present, calling her that could damage her reputation.

Wei Ruo’s eyes met Xu Zhengyong. Seeing him excited but staying silent, she understood his reason.

Wei Ruo felt a bit relieved—Brother Xiaoyong had matured, no longer acting impulsively without regard for consequences.

Though neither Wei Ruo nor Xu Zhengyong spoke, the exchange between their eyes was clear, and Wei Jinyi, standing beside Wei Ruo, noticed it all.

“Jinyi, Ruo’er! Why are you here?” Wei Mingting asked, both surprised and delighted.

“Upon hearing you were in danger, my sister insisted on coming with me to search for you. It was she who discovered where you were buried,” Wei Jinyi explained.

“Ruo’er, how did you manage to find us?” Wei Mingting asked.

Wei Ruo explained, “I considered what Father would have done. If I were in his position, knowing there was potential danger, I would have chosen a relatively safer route through the valley. After observing the surroundings, I thought you might have taken the small path on the west side.”

“While searching along that route, I found a dagger. It was new and unlike something a villager would own, so I guessed this might be where you were buried.”

Wei Mingting’s face lit up with joy. Though he didn’t verbally express his pride, his smile showed his emotions clearly.

“We should leave here first and return to the village to discuss further,” Wei Jinyi instructed.

Although Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong were in better shape than the villagers due to their martial training, they had been trapped overnight. The cold air had seeped into their bodies and their bodies became weak, so they urgently needed treatment.

After leaving the valley, Wei Jinyi borrowed a villager’s house, allowing Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong to take a hot bath and change into clean clothes.

The road in and out of the village was currently blocked, and Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong’s current physical condition makes them unsuitable for further travel, especially when crossing mountains. Therefore, they decided to stay at the villager’s home until the road cleared.

While Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong were bathing and changing, Wei Ruo took the pulse of the family of three who were trapped.

All three had caught a cold, were running a fever, and their health was further disrupted due to the lack of oxygen.

There was no way to purchase medicine from outside, but fortunately, Wei Ruo had brought plenty of medicine with her before setting out. It was enough to stabilize their conditions for the time being.

Afterward, Wei Ruo went to the courtyard, where she saw Wei Jinyi sitting at a small table. She walked over, sat down beside him, and took out her medicine bottles, starting to prepare some remedies.

Wei Jinyi quietly watched Wei Ruo as she busied herself with the herbs in her hands.
