Chen Luochu first brought Su Yu to Aunt Niu's house. Aunt Niu's house was located on the right side of his house and was the closest. They each carried a bag of rice, flour, cakes, brown sugar, salt and other items.

The gate of Aunt Niu's house was not closed. As soon as Chen Luochu opened the door, he took Su Yu in and shouted, "Uncle Tieqiu, Aunt Chunhua, Aunt Niu, I brought Master Su to visit!"

After Su Yu entered the yard, he saw a family of four having dinner. There were no pancakes or steamed buns on the table, only a bowl of porridge so clear that you could see a person's face in it, accompanied by two plates of unknown wild vegetables.

When Aunt Niu saw Su Yu, she immediately stood up and asked in surprise, "Mr. Su, why did you come here so suddenly today?"

Su Yu bent down, bowed to Uncle Tieqiu and Aunt Niu, and said sincerely: "I am here to visit you today to express my special thanks to you for saving my life." After that, he handed the gift in his hand to them.

Aunt Niu waved her hands repeatedly, a flattered expression on her face: "Mr. Su is too polite, how can I accept this!"

The child Chen Dabao at the side widened his eyes and stared at the pastry in Su Yu's hand. His eyes were full of desire and expectation, as if he had seen the most delicious food in the world.

Su Yu noticed the child's gaze, smiled slightly, and handed the pastry to Chen Dabao. Chen Dabao looked at Su Yu, then at his mother, and seemed a little hesitant, not knowing whether to accept the gift.

Aunt Niu looked at her son with pity. She understood his desire, but was too embarrassed to accept it directly and wanted to ask for her opinion. Finally, she nodded helplessly to show her agreement. Only then did Chen Dabao dare to take the pastry with a glint of joy in his eyes.

Chen Dabao smiled happily at Su Yu: "Thank you, Brother Su!" Then he carefully placed the pastry on the wooden table and gently opened the oil paper package. The aroma that emanated was mouth-watering.

He first took out two pieces of cake and handed them to the grandmother and grandfather respectively. The two old people looked at their lovely grandson with love in their eyes, but they waved their hands to indicate that they did not like sweets and let their grandson enjoy it himself.

Chen Dabao picked up another piece of cake and handed it to Aunt Niu. Aunt Niu quickly shook her head and said that she was afraid of getting a toothache after eating the cake, so she left it for Chen Dabao.

Aunt Niu couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It was the spring famine season and the family had long run out of food. Every day they could only grab a few handfuls of brown rice, mix it with water to make a pot of thin porridge, and then have a few dishes of wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. Such life was really difficult. It was hard for the child to suffer with them at such a young age. Thinking of this, Aunt Niu felt sad.

Su Yu stopped at Aunt Niu's house for a while, delivered the gifts, and then said he had to visit other families before leaving. After he left, Aunt Niu discovered that this Mr. Su had actually given her 20 kilograms of rice, 20 kilograms of precious white flour, brown sugar, and even salt! These were rare items that they usually couldn't afford to buy!

This Young Master Su was really generous. He just pulled him out of the cave, but he actually gave him so many precious foods. There were even some eggs at home that he planned to sell at the market. She hurriedly picked up the basket and ran to Chen Luochu's house to deliver it.

The second house Su Yu visited was the home of the little boy Chen Fu. The one who came to rescue him last time was Chen Fu’s grandfather Chen Daqiang. The Chen family also had five people.

They were all elderly, weak, women and children. One of them was a young woman who had just given birth, with a crying baby in her arms. This family had no young and strong labor force, and their lives were extremely poor. It seemed that their lives were even more difficult than Aunt Niu's.

When Su Yu followed Chen Luochu to Chen Wang's house, Chen Luochu hesitated for a long time and finally said, "Brother Su, Chen Wang is an orphan. His parents died early and he is the only one in the family."

Su Yu was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the innocent and energetic little boy of seven or eight years old was actually an orphan. He couldn't help but feel pity for this poor child.

When they arrived at Chen Wang's house, they found the door was open. They walked into the yard and didn't see anyone. They walked into the house and saw that it was dilapidated.

Not only were there countless obvious cracks on the walls, but there were also several large holes in the roof, and sunlight could still shine directly through the large holes in the roof.

The paper-pasted windows were even more dilapidated. Not only could they not be closed tightly, they made creaking sounds when blown by the wind. There were also countless holes in the yellowed paper, and when the wind blew, a cold wind blew in.

Su Yu looked at all this in disbelief, muttering to himself: "How can people live in such an environment?" He couldn't imagine what it was like to live in such harsh conditions.

He thought that if it rained, this place would become a vast ocean.

Chen Luochu did not see Wang'er when he entered the room. He began to look for Chen Wang everywhere and shouted his name loudly: "Wang'er, Wang'er, are you home?" However, there was silence all around and no response.

Seeing this, Su Yu comforted him, "Maybe Chen Wang went out to play, and he might be back soon. Let's put the food in the kitchen first."

Chen Luochu also felt that what Su Yu said made sense, so the two of them carried their things and walked into the shabby kitchen next door. However, as soon as they entered, they saw a small figure lying on the cold ground. Chen Luochu was immediately frightened and trembled all over. He quickly put down the things in his hands and rushed over in two steps.

He picked up the child from the ground and called out anxiously, "Wang'er, what's wrong with you? Wang'er, wake up!"

Seeing this, Su Yu hurried forward, squatted beside the child, stretched out his fingers to gently feel the child's breath, and found that the child was still breathing. Then he carefully checked the child's hands, feet and body to make sure there were no obvious wounds.

When he saw the child's skinny body, the empty kitchen and the few grass roots left in the bowl.

Su Yu immediately understood that the child must have fainted because of hypoglycemia caused by excessive hunger.

Chen Luochu was extremely worried. He was about to go out to find a doctor with the child in his arms, but was stopped by Su Yu in time. Su Yu said quickly, "Brother Luochu, don't worry. Wang'er's body functions have declined due to long-term hunger. I have a way to save him."

Su Yu thought to himself that patients with hypoglycemia need to quickly replenish sugar to raise their blood sugar levels. For a situation like this where they have already fainted, this method is undoubtedly the most effective.

As he spoke, Su Yu picked up a chipped ceramic bowl from Chen Wang's house, quickly opened the oil paper package of brown sugar he had brought with him, and without hesitation put several large spoonfuls of brown sugar into it. Then he added some boiled cold water from the kitchen, stirred it a few times with a spoon, and waited for the brown sugar to completely melt.

Su Yu said to Chen Luochu, "Brother Luochu, help me open his mouth. I'll use the spoon to pour the liquid in."

Although Chen Luochu didn't quite understand why brown sugar water could save people, he instinctively believed in Su Yu, so he quickly responded, "Okay!" and then did what Su Yu said.

Sure enough, after forcing Chen Wang to drink a bowl of brown sugar water, Chen Wang slowly woke up not long after.

He touched his head and looked at Chen Luochu and Su Yu in confusion and said, "Brother Luochu, Brother Su, why are you in my house?"

Chen Luochu quickly asked, "Why did you suddenly faint just now?"

Chen Wang scratched his head and replied, "I don't know either. I just suddenly felt a pitch blackness in front of my eyes, and I felt very dizzy, and then I fell asleep all of a sudden."

Su Yu explained: "You have hypoglycemia caused by long-term malnutrition. If we hadn't arrived in time to feed you brown sugar water today, you would be in danger."

What Su Yu didn't say was that prolonged fainting due to hypoglycemia may cause brain death.

"Ding Dong, host, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The reward is one more merit. The current merit is eleven points and the intelligence is sixty-five points.

Su Yu never thought that he could get points in this way.

However, what he didn't know was that if he hadn't come here, no one would have noticed that the child Chen Wang had fainted. By the time everyone realized that something was wrong, this fragile little life had already lost its vitality.

Chen Wang, who had just woken up, still seemed a little confused. He reacted slowly and said, "It turns out that the sweet feeling in my mouth just now was brown sugar water. Thank you, Brother Su and Brother Luo Chu."

Su Yu pointed to the gifts she brought and said, "These are all for you. Remember to eat well in the future."

Chen Wang saw that there was not only rice and flour in front of him, but also delicious pastries and brown sugar. The gluttony in his stomach could no longer be suppressed. He couldn't wait to pick up a piece of pastry and stuff it into his mouth, gobbling it up.

Su Yu looked at the child who looked so hungry that he might choke, so she quickly poured him a glass of water and put it next to him, saying, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

Chen Wang's cheeks were thin but he was smiling happily. While eating, he said incoherently: "Brother Su, this is really delicious!" Then he swallowed a few more mouthfuls, but still choked.

Su Yu hurriedly handed him the cup of water and smoothed his back, and the pastry finally slid smoothly down his esophagus.

Su Yu looked at the thin child and shook his head helplessly.
