Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Chapter 451 Calling Back the Soul

"What happened? Did your older sister scold you and you ran away from home?"

Xu Anyang's lips twitched slightly.

But then he thought it was impossible, since his sister had never been angry with the children in the family.

"no."

Sanchuan shook his head, feeling wronged, and explained the whole story.

Sihai looked at his great-uncle who came out of the house and hugged him, crying.

"Grandpa, please take me to find my eldest sister."

Sihai started shouting at the top of his lungs, almost sobbing uncontrollably.

No one present had ever seen Sihai cry like this before.

"The sea is not calm today, Pinghai, don't just stand there, hurry up and tow the boat to find people."

As she spoke, her great-aunt went over and picked up Sihai.

Xu Pinghai and Xu Anyang quickly carried the boat out of the stone house.

"I also need to go."

Sanchuan followed after them, but when they reached the door, Asi pulled him back.

"There's water everywhere outside, it's not safe to go out. Stay home and wait for news."

The eight-year-old boy looked into his four-year-old brother's eyes, which were filled with dependence and tears, then turned his head to look out the door—

Outside, Xu Pinghai and Xu Anyang were struggling to push the fishing boat into the murky water.

He clenched his fists and swallowed back the words "I want to go too" that were already on the tip of his tongue.

He stretched out his dirty hand and hastily wiped away the tears on Sihai's face.

"Don't worry! Everything will be alright."

Xu Honglian brought out a basin of hot water and used it to wipe the faces of the two children, and then washed their hands.

He then gently straightened Sanchuan's clothes.

"Sanchuan, come and wash your feet."

While Sanchuan was in a daze, Xu Honglian brought out another basin of hot water.

This child is heartbreaking to see. He's still a child himself, yet he takes such good care of his younger brother.

When they came out, they dressed Sihai, and after they encountered water, they carried him on their backs while they themselves waded in the water, their feet turning blue from the cold.

Grandma sat silently in the courtyard; no one knew what she was thinking.

"In my opinion, Wuyuan is just frightened. He'll probably be fine in a couple of days."

As Ah Si chattered on and on, he brought out two bowls of fish porridge from the kitchen and handed them to the two children.

“Last night I was telling my older sister that we should call back Wu Yuan’s soul. Maybe if we did, Wu Yuan wouldn’t be like this.”

Sanchuan was sobbing, with a mouthful of porridge in his mouth.

"Should we try calling back the soul? Or should we wait until Yi Yi brings Wu Yuan back and give it a try?"

Asa agreed, saying, "I can do this."

Xu Honglian shook her head. "We still need to hear what the doctor has to say first."

"That's okay too."

Asa nodded in agreement.

……

Meanwhile, Xu Yiyi had already carried Wu Yuan to the town.

She only remembered that her family's boat was still inside the house after she left the house, but this was on an island.

As soon as she asked to borrow a boat, an uncle immediately brought out his own perfectly good boat.

He was even worried about her taking care of the child alone, so he personally took her to town.

Xu Pinghai, who was chasing after them, breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing the news; at least Xu Yiyi was no longer alone.

So the two of them hurried to the town.

Wu Yunzhi is not in Ping'an Town now, so Xu Yiyi must have gone to Ren'an Hall to find Doctor Liu.

Dr. Liu had a very good relationship with Wu Yunzhi. He was a highly skilled doctor, especially adept at treating various difficult and complicated diseases in children.

So the two of them ran towards Ren'an Hall without thinking.

When I got there, I saw Xu Yiyi carrying Wu Yuan out.

Seeing her somewhat unpleasant expression, Xu Pinghai's heart skipped a beat.

"How is it? What did the doctor say?"

Xu Anyang's heart sank. He quickly went to meet Wu Yuan, who was wrapped in a small blanket.

The child managed a forced smile when he saw him, but no matter how he tried to coax him, he didn't babble like he usually did.

Xu Yiyi's throat moved, her voice hoarse as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper: "I was prescribed some Ganju Tang. Doctor Liu said that she might... really be frightened, and he can't see anything else."

Xu Yiyi was not giving up, so she carried Wu Yuan to visit the other three medical clinics.

The results were all pretty much the same.

"Let's go back first! Gouyuan is hungry too."

The once spirited young man is now dejected.

Xu Anyang felt really bad seeing her like this.

Xu Pinghai patted her shoulder to comfort her, saying, "Yiyi, don't worry too much. Maybe you'll suddenly feel better in a couple of days."

Xu Yiyi nodded without saying a word and carried Wu Yuan towards the dock.

The small boat rocked gently on the murky sea.

Xu Yiyi sat at the bow of the boat, holding Wu Yuan in her arms, her heart as heavy as the sea.

Suddenly, a slight movement came from the crook of my arm.

She looked down and saw that Wu Yuan had woken up at some point and was staring at her with his big, dark eyes. The corners of his pink lips slowly curved upwards, revealing a silent yet incredibly bright smile to her.

The child's smile was as pure as sunlight breaking through the dark clouds, suddenly crashing into her heart.

The string that had been taut within her snapped suddenly at that moment.

Xu Yiyi pursed her lips into a straight line, but tears fell like beads from a broken string, rolling down without warning, one drop at a time, hitting Wu Yuan's soft cheeks.

Xu Anyang, who was sitting opposite her, saw all of this.

Watching Xu Yiyi's silent breakdown and Wu Yuan's oblivious smile, I felt a sharp pang in my heart, a bitter and astringent feeling.

He abruptly turned his head away, looked at the vast sea, and secretly raised his sleeve to wipe his wet eyes.

"Sister Yi, write a letter and ask Grandpa Yunzhi to come back! Maybe...maybe he has a way to cure it?"

As the small boat docked, Xu Anyang suddenly spoke.

Everyone knows how skilled Wu Yunzhi is in medicine.

Now, he has become the only hope.

Unfortunately, we can't get in touch with her now either.

Xu Yiyi felt helpless and silently carried Wu Yuan home.

A short while later, Uncle and Aunt arrived.

They also sent back the three rivers and four seas together.

Xu Honglian looked at Xu Yiyi's reddened eyes, walked over and hugged her.

"I'm fine! Really, I'm fine."

Xu Yiyi said with a smile.

That night, Uncle Da-ye patted the threshold with the sole of his shoe all night, and Aunt Da-na called out Wu Yuan's name all night long.

It didn't stop until dawn.

"This method will definitely work. Maybe Wuyuan will be able to speak again when he wakes up later."

Asa sat under the eaves and spoke.

That night, apart from Sanchuan and Sihai, no one could sleep.

Xu Yiyi helped her uncle, who was so exhausted that he had no strength left, to sit down beside her.

I was secretly looking forward to it.

As dawn broke, she smiled helplessly and carried the awakened Wu Yuan out.

Auntie was wiping away tears, while Xu Pinghai and his wife, Ah Si, kept sighing.

On the contrary, Xu Yiyi acted as if nothing had happened, washing Wu Yuan's face, milking him, and warming his milk.
