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

Chapter 445 Make the Death Talisman Disappear Completely

"Sihai, did you show this to anyone else when you took it out?"

Xu Yiyi reached out and pulled the child out of her arms, asking very seriously.

Si Hai shook his head subconsciously.

"Think about it carefully, are you really, really sure you haven't shown it to anyone?"

Not to mention Sihai, even Sanchuan noticed that something was wrong.

She blinked her wet eyes, pursed her lips tightly, and thought with Sihai, "No one came to our house that day, Big Sister."

San Chuan stood beside him and spoke earnestly.

Then Sihai shook his head vigorously, his childish voice surprisingly certain: "Second sister wasn't home at the time, only third brother saw it."

Hearing this, Xu Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, clutched the fish charm tightly in her hand, and squatted down to look at the two children at eye level.

“Listen carefully,” she said in a very low voice, her gaze sweeping back and forth across the two children’s faces, “This thing in my hand, and the fact that you’ve seen it before, you must never, ever mention it to any outsider.”

She paused, then emphasized, "You're not allowed to tell anyone about Anyang, your great-grandparents, or anyone else."

Seeing the two children nod as if they understood, she reached out and pulled them into her arms, her tone softening but carrying an undeniable solemnity:

"Remember what my elder sister said, this is our family's most important secret. If it gets out... it will bring trouble."

Anyone would feel uneasy if something that countless people were fighting over suddenly fell into her hands.

After Xu Yiyi coaxed the two children back to their room, only an eight-month-old baby was left beside her.

Sitting in the chair, she kept babbling and sucking on her little hand.

"Why do you like to suck your little hands so much?" Xu Yi frowned and took Wu Yuan's hand away. "Weren't you full?"

After saying that, she reached out and touched the baby's belly, which was still bulging.

She sat down on a low stool next to Wu Yuan, and the two siblings watched together as the dust was blown up by the wind in the yard.

After a long while, she lowered her eyes and looked at the half of the cold fish talisman in her hand.

The broken edge of the token pressed against her palm, as if reminding her of the danger it concealed.

Wu Yuan suddenly giggled and reached out his two little hands to grab the floating catkins in the air.

Her gaze shifted from the fish talisman to Wu Yuan's innocent little face and then back to the fish talisman.

A vague idea suddenly popped into my mind, then abruptly became clear and firm.

Since so many people are vying for this thing, willing to start a bloodbath for it.

Regardless of which side it is handed over to, it will only fuel new conflicts and drag our hard-won peaceful life back into the vortex.

The thought of the maritime ban implemented many years ago, which caused fishermen to live in poverty, is unbearable.

It would be better to... not give it to anyone.

Let this death warrant disappear completely.

Thinking this, Xu Yiyi suddenly laughed.

"Wu Yuan, do you think it was right for eldest sister to do this?"

She put the fish-shaped talisman into her cloth bag and buried her head in Wu Yuan's chest.

In the past, she never sought other people's opinions when making any decisions; she just did what she wanted to do.

But now he hesitated.

The child blinked his big, dark eyes, looking down at the head buried in his arms, seemingly confused.

But he didn't push her away. He paused for a moment, then stretched out his short, chubby arms, like lotus roots, and awkwardly wrapped them around her head. He gently patted her loose hair twice with his small hands, making "oh oh" sounds.

It was as if he was coaxing her.

It immediately made her laugh.

"What's wrong? Are you crying?"

Uncle's voice suddenly rang out, startling Xu Yiyi, who quickly peeked out from Wu Yuan's arms.

"What do I have to cry about?"

Xu Yiyi stood up, smoothed her hair, and went forward to help her great-uncle to a chair.

"Oh! I thought you were crying." Uncle slowly straightened his clothes and put his cane aside.

Turning his head to meet Wu Yuan's gaze, he playfully gave a fright.

Seeing Wu Yuan pout, he felt instantly satisfied.

"How old are you to still be playing these kinds of tricks?"

Xu Yiyi said helplessly as she picked up Wu Yuan from under the eaves.

Uncle shrugged. "I heard from your uncle that you're not planning on getting married for the time being. How long is 'for the time being'? You have to give me a timeframe, right? It can't be more than ten years, can it?"

She knew immediately why her great-uncle had come.

"I'm only thirteen."

Xu Yiyi said irritably.

Uncle said earnestly, "We're not asking you to get married right now, you have to settle down first!"

"In two more years," she said somewhat guiltily.

After much persuasion, they finally managed to get the old man to back down.

……

"Sister Yi, my father asked me to go with you to bring the boat back, saying the weather is not right."

Xu Yiyi heard Xu Anyang's loud voice from afar and immediately ran out of the kitchen.

Looking up, I saw that the clouds had changed again.

The sun is already out.

"Don't be fooled by the sun coming out now. The elders in our tribe who can read the weather say there's definitely going to be a typhoon. We'd better hurry and bring the boat back."

After Xu Anyang gave her a long explanation, she didn't even have time to make lunch.

"Sanchuan, keep a close eye on your younger brother!"

He casually tossed out a remark and then hurried towards the river with Xu Anyang.

At that time, the wind and waves were calm, and the air was so clean it looked as if it had been filtered.

But by the time they reached the river, most of the boats had already been cleared away.

"You've come at the right time. I'll get a few more people to help you transport the boat back."

I still remember the typhoon that Xu Yiyi encountered not long after she transmigrated here.

The villagers simply transported the boat ashore and placed it upside down.

This time, however, the ship needs to be transported back for storage.

It seems this typhoon is not to be underestimated!

After only a short while, all the small boats on the island disappeared; they had all been taken home and hidden away.

"Big sister! Third brother is bullying me..."

When I woke up from my afternoon nap, I heard Sihai humming and groaning.

When San Chuan heard Si Hai say that while standing behind him, his mouth twisted into a chuckle.

Xu Yiyi watched helplessly as Sihai climbed onto her bed.

"How did I bully you?"

She asked nonchalantly, saying that anyone could have bullied him.

Ironically, the least likely candidate is Sanchuan.

"I was doing somersaults on the bed, and he kicked me off."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yiyi's eyebrows twitched. "Isn't this what you should do? How many times have I told you not to do a somersault in bed? Haven't you fallen enough yet?"

Xu Yiyi sighed.

When this kid first started learning martial arts from Ah Yue, he liked to do somersaults on the bed.

During that period, he was truly outstanding.

The bump on my forehead has never gone down.

As soon as one side disappears, another immediately springs up on the other.

It was all from doing somersaults in bed.

Before she could continue speaking, the little brat darted away like an eel.

A moment later, Sanchuan's mocking laughter came from the next room.

“I told you that my older sister would never side with you on this matter, but she just wouldn’t believe me.”
