The siblings skillfully cast the fishing net, and after a laborious effort, they finally rescued the person.
"Little Brother, quick, check if he's still breathing."
The youth did not dare to delay and hurriedly tested the person's breathing. When he found that the person was still alive, he let out an excited cry.
"Sister, he's not dead yet."
… …
Boom! Boom!
The fishing boat's engine roared as the youth steered the fishing boat back.
In the cabin.
A cotton blanket covered Ye Xuan's body, and a heater was placed beside him, making the small space very warm.
"Argh!"
Suddenly, a roar was heard. Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes. His face was twisted and ferocious. As if he had gone mad, he kicked the heater beside him to the ground, and the wooden bed beneath him was smashed into pieces. An extremely crazy aura was released from his body, as if he had just had a terrible nightmare.
Creak!
The cabin door was pushed open. Seeing the scene in front of her, the woman's face turned pale, but she still quickly walked over and gently hugged Ye Xuan. She comforted him gently, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's all in the past. It's all in the past."
As the woman comforted him gently, Ye Xuan's body stiffened. His ferocious and terrifying expression was also slightly sluggish. His eyes gradually focused, and he finally saw the appearance of the girl in front of him.
She had a simple ponytail, clear eyes, and wheat-colored skin. It was obvious that she had drifted on the sea for many years and was exposed to the sun. The girl was not very beautiful, and there was a fishy smell on her body, but she gave off a refreshing and sunny feeling.
"Who … are you?"
Ye Xuan was not used to being hugged by a girl. He slowly pushed the girl away and looked at her with a slightly gloomy gaze.
"Hello, I'm Gu Xiaoxiao. What's your name?"
Simple and generous, but not lacking in etiquette. Gu Xiaoxiao smiled, and it was as if her smile lit up the dark cabin.
Gu Xiaoxiao extended her right hand toward Ye Xuan. However, Ye Xuan's expression froze, and he stared deeply at her.
After several breaths of time, Ye Xuan had a strange expression on his face, but he still stretched out his right hand and grasped Gu Xiaoxiao's hand.
The girl's hands were rough, and there were many calluses on her palms. Clearly, this was the result of years of work. This was what Ye Xuan felt.
"Hey, you haven't told me your name yet." With Ye Xuan holding her hand, Gu Xiaoxiao did not show the bashfulness of other women. Instead, she spoke in a natural and unrestrained manner.
Letting go of the girl's hand, Ye Xuan's black hair covered his face. His voice was slightly low as he said, "I don't have a name."
"You're lying. Everyone has a name. Why don't you have one?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked.
"Sister, he's awake?" Unknowingly, a young man had entered the cabin.
"He's my younger brother, Gu Beichen. We were fishing at sea today, but we found you drifting in the sea, so we saved you." Gu Xiaoxiao introduced her younger brother as she recounted the process of saving Ye Xuan.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan did not say anything from the beginning to the end. This caused the siblings to mistakenly think that Ye Xuan was still in shock and had not recovered from the shock.
"Sister, he's like a block of wood." The young man, Gu Beichen, said softly.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not good if others hear you." Gu Xiaoxiao reprimanded softly.
The fishing boat was on its way back. After several hours of sailing, they finally returned to the mainland. As the fishing boat docked, the siblings and Ye Xuan finally stepped onto the dock.
In front of the dock!
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Xuan who was still silent. She could only shake her head helplessly and say, "We can only send you here. Hurry home."
"Aiya, Sister, don't bother about him. We've already done our best. Let's hurry home and eat." The young man, Gu Beichen, pulled his sister and walked away. However, Ye Xuan did not move at all from the beginning to the end.
"Where is my home?"
In front of the dock, Ye Xuan looked into the distance. His eyes were lost, and his voice was extremely bitter.
Although Ye Xuan had survived this mental demon tribulation safely and even attained a half-immortal body, he would be able to become an immortal in the mortal world as long as he cultivated to the late stage of Tribulation Transcendence.
Becoming an immortal!
What a tempting word. This was also what Ye Xuan had always hoped for.
However, the current Ye Xuan was at a loss. Could it be that for the sake of becoming an immortal, he could be so heartless as to kill all of his loved ones?
"Is the price of becoming an immortal the death of one's loved ones?"
Ye Xuan muttered to himself. He could not understand and did not dare to think about it. Because he could not get over himself, he was still immersed in this sorrowful emotion.
"Hey, why are you still here? Don't you want to go home?" Gu Xiaoxiao had returned at some point with a complicated expression on her face.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan did not reply. He was still immersed in his own thoughts. Perhaps when he found the answer in his heart, he would be able to free himself from this sorrowful state of mind.
Looking at Ye Xuan who was as silent as a block of wood, Gu Beichen said unhappily, "Sister, I told you not to bother about him. You just had to come back. Look at how he's ignoring you. You still …"
"Alright, Little Brother, stop talking." Gu Xiaoxiao reprimanded.
At this time, the sun was setting and the sky was gradually darkening. Looking at Ye Xuan's unmoving silence, Gu Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly and said, "If you're willing, you can stay at my house for a night. Tomorrow, I'll send you to the Hanging Mirror Department in town and help you contact your family. What do you think?"
"Sister, are you crazy? How can you bring a stranger home?" The young man's expression changed.
"Alright, can't you see that his mental state is very abnormal?"
"He might have lost his memory in this shipwreck. Since we've rescued him, are we going to leave him here and not care about him?"
Gu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. She pulled Ye Xuan's hand and walked into the distance. This made the young man smile helplessly and could only quickly follow the two of them.
…
Because Little River Village was located on the coast of the East Sea, the villagers here had been fishing for a living for generations. Although their lives were not very rich, they were still self-sufficient. Compared to the bustling metropolis, it was less noisy and had a sense of peace and tranquility.
At this time, it was night time. Every family was cooking. Wisps of smoke rose from the kitchen, bringing vitality to Little River Village.
"Girl Gu, you're back." An old man greeted Gu Xiaoxiao and her brother kindly.
"Little Child Beichen, who is this person?" A middle-aged woman was asking about Ye Xuan's background.
"Him? His name is Blockhead. He's a beggar that my sister picked up." Gu Beichen still had the temperament of a young man. He was very unhappy that his sister had brought an outsider home. Faced with the villagers' questions, he directly gave Ye Xuan a code name.
"Little Brother, if you continue to be so impudent, see how I'll deal with you when we get home." Gu Xiaoxiao showed the demeanor of an elder sister and sternly reprimanded the young man.
