Everyone got busy, helping to treat the wound of the extraordinary Big White Snake. Ruanruan sat to the side, hugging the snake's head and watching them.
Eventually, the anesthetic took effect. The Big White Snake laid its head on Ruanruan and fell soundly asleep.
Jiang Jincheng came running over with some food.
All the food was prepared by Jiu Yun, who was worried that Ruanruan and the others hadn't had breakfast yet.
It just slipped their minds on the way down, but Nangong Xun remembered and fetched it.
Jiang Jincheng took some, ran over, broke it into pieces, and fed Ruanruan.
The adults were all busy, leaving only the two kids with nothing to do. Even Nangong Xun joined in to help wipe the White Snake's scales.
"Ruanruan, you hold it and I'll feed you," Jiang Jincheng offered as he perched beside Ruanruan, feeding her food and water. If there were any crumbs on her mouth, he'd wipe them clean for her.
