Chapter 403: Island In The Sea

The moment she broke out of the water, Su Ying saw a white-haired man.

When the white-haired man saw Su Ying, he jumped in fright and released the net in his hand.

“Big Brother, what’s wrong? Why did you let go of the fishing net? Quickly pull it up. There must be a lot of fish in there since it’s so heavy.”

Only then did the white-haired man come back to his senses and pull the fishing net up with all his might, but all the fish in the net had escaped.

Su Ying didn’t want to move, so she simply lay in the fishing net and pretended to be dead.

It took the brother and sister duo a lot of effort to haul the fishing net up.

“Gosh! Why is there a person in this fishing net? She… she is not dead, is she?” Su Ying could hear the little girl on the boat speaking. Her voice was quite pleasant.

The next moment, Su Ying felt someone approaching her, and she opened her eyes abruptly.

“Argh!”

“Argh!”

Splash!

Water splashed everywhere. The two figures were so terrified that they fell into the sea.

The corners of Su Ying’s eyes twitched. Surely they couldn’t be so timid?

She looked at the siblings who were struggling in the water and reached out to grab them, but the two of them stared at her warily.

The white-haired man shielded the little girl behind him. They were fishermen, so they were good at swimming. When she saw that they were fine, Su Ying wasn’t in a hurry to speak.

“Who are you? Why did you come to our place?”

The little girl, who was hiding behind the youth, poked half of her head out and looked curiously in Su Ying’s direction.

“I was washed here by the water. Thank you for saving me.”

It was probably because they didn’t sense any malice from Su Ying that the siblings gradually relaxed their wary attitude.

“Are you really not a bad person?”

Su Ying found the siblings a little funny. “If you ask like this, of course, I will tell you that I’m not a bad person.”

These words successfully made the siblings wary again.

Su Ying shrugged helplessly and stretched out her hand toward them. “Come on up. I’m not a bad person.”

Perhaps Su Ying’s appearance had made the two of them uneasy. They didn’t continue fishing after returning to the boat. Instead, they steered the boat back to the shore.

Su Ying discovered that they were on a small island in the sea. This island seemed to be located independently in the middle of the ocean. At the very least, there were no other continents around the island. She had been washed quite far away.

“Big Sister, where are you from?” The little girl looked like she was about eight or nine years old. Her big, dewy eyes were clear and bright. She had a really beautiful pair of eyes.

Seemingly displeased by Su Ying’s stare at the little girl, the white-haired man stepped forward and stood between the two of them.

Su Ying withdrew her gaze and said, “I was washed here by the flood.”

The white-haired man’s face was icy. “We saved you so we have already done our duty to you. Don’t follow us.”

Su Ying didn’t want to pester them either. “Can you tell me what this place is? Are there any other kingdoms besides the island?”

Mo Tu pulled the little girl away and said without turning back, “Yes, but it’s very far. We’ve never left this place before, so if you want to ask me how to get there, 1 don’t know either.”

Su Ying wasn’t a shameless person. Since she wasn’t welcomed, she didn’t want to cling to them either.

The island was not small, and there were many small fishing boats moored along the coast.

When she saw that the sky was getting darker, Su Ying didn’t want to approach and scare the fishermen at night. She decided to spend the night on the beach and go to the island to ask for information the next day.

She found a place to shelter from the wind. Then she cut some large leaves and branches to make a tent, and after that, she lay down inside.

As she had been in the water and in the interspatial store during this period, she had barely seen the sunlight and her joints were feeling some discomfort due to the deficiency of calcium.

Su Ying lay on the beach. Many tiny crabs crawled out of the sand and climbed onto her feet. She turned over and sat up to grab the tiny crabs. The first thing she thought of was Xiao Jin and the two children.

After falling from that godforsaken place, they probably thought that she was already dead.

If it weren’t for the interspatial store and those equipment, she really wouldn’t have survived.

As night fell, the fishermen who went out to sea to fish returned to the island one after another.

Su Ying got up and found a shallow sandbar. She wanted to see if there were any stranded fish or prawns.

These fish were stranded on this shallow sandbar after the tide receded, and there were quite a number of them.

Su Ying pulled out the dagger from her body and caught a fish the length of half an arm in the blink of an eye. She then caught a few crabs, checked for conches, and pulled up some seaweed before returning to her small tent.

After cleaning the fish and crabs, she went to gather some dry tree branches.

Although this place was an island with high humidity, there was plenty of sunlight. The branches were very dry and would burn at once upon ignition.

Su Ying skewered the fish meat and placed it over the fire to roast, while the crabs were directly thrown into the fire to be roasted.

Soon, a delectable smell tinged with some fishiness wafted out.

Su Ying used a tree branch to dig the crabs out. The two large crabs were charred black, but when she used a stone to crack open the hard shell, the meat inside was fresh and tender.

Su Ying hadn’t expected this thing to be so delicious by just simply roasting it without putting any seasoning on it.

After eating, the sky gradually darkened, but Su Ying did not plan to rest. Instead, she planned to take a walk around the island at night to understand the island’s environment. This was her habit.

Su Ying walked into the small island in the darkness of the night.

Not long after walking in, she saw many wooden houses. Some of them were dark, while others had a lone lamp hanging at the corridor.

When she reached a corner, Su Ying saw the little girl she met during the day sitting in a small courtyard with the white-haired man. It looked like they were repairing the damaged fishing net.

“Big Brother, do you think that Big Sister was sent by those bad people?”

The white-haired man shook his head. “1 don’t know.”

“Then why didn’t you help her, Big Brother? She’ll definitely be afraid of the dark if she’s alone outside.”

The white-haired man stopped his actions and looked at the little girl solemnly. “Que Que, what if she’s a bad person?”

Que Que lowered her head and replied, “I don’t think Big Sister is a bad person.”

The white-haired man patted her head. “Why not? Didn’t she scare away our fish? Alright. Go back and sleep first. Tomorrow, I’ll take you out to sea to fish.”

Que Que nodded obediently, stood up, and walked into the house.

The white-haired man suddenly raised his head and looked outside the courtyard. However, it was pitch-black there and there was nothing at all. He frowned slightly and walked over to look around. After making sure that there was no one around, he turned around to put away the fishing net before returning to the house.

After the man closed the door, Su Ying emerged from the darkness.

It took her quite some time to figure out the terrain of the entire island. There was a fairly large forest in the middle of the island, and the source of freshwater for the islanders was in that forest.

After figuring out the basic situation, Su Ying returned to her tent and meditated and circulated her energy.

When she opened her eyes again, the sky was already bright.

Su Ying got up and was planning to go back to the shallow sandbar yesterday to settle her breakfast.

“What are you doing? My big brother and 1 lowered the cage yesterday. The

fishes inside are ours.. You’re not allowed to snatch them!”
