4 Chapter 3: The Generals of Cuixia (2/2)

”Let's go and search for the blessing” the husband answered

He asked his wife's hand and led her towards the open shore of the island. It feels like paradise in a world of their own. They were walking hand in hand. Sweet talks and laughter vibrated through the serene sea. While they look for the treasure they've been dying to have.

”Ming'er do you see that?” Jiayi pointed at the sea

”See what?”

”That one! It looks like a body.”

”Huh? But I see nothing. Where exactly...”

But before he could answer his wife already ran to the sea. He followed behind her, afraid of the dangers the ocean has hidden. She rushed till the water reached her waist as she pulled a floating body. His husband helped her as he immediately carried the child in his arms and together they ran to the sand of hope.

”Is she breathing?” the man asked her wife

”Barely, she's so cold. Lend me a satin, I'll warm her up.” the wife answered

They took the child to their residence. They called for physicians to check on the child and search for her parents, but they found nothing. No traces of children missing from noble households, it was as if the ship at the bottom of the sea was a dead end.

The empty manor was finally filled with warmth.

As a five year old kid decided that she will live.
