Xu Yiyi looked at the little girl with timid eyes and a bit of fear.

"Have you told your uncle?"

Er'er nodded, sat on the small stool, and breathed lightly.

"It's okay. It's probably a fisherman who got into danger at sea and was brought back by the waves."

Such things happen quite often in the village. No one has been in trouble on the island recently, so it might have come from somewhere else.

Xu Yiyi patted her little head, "Grandpa Uncle said the same thing. He saw that I seemed really scared, so he didn't let me go swimming this afternoon... Hehe."

Er'er was a little silly and laughed. She was very scared when she talked about these things just now, but now she was secretly happy because she didn't have to go swimming in the afternoon.

"You really don't want to learn!"

Xu Yiyi thought that this shouldn’t be the case, Er’er didn’t look like she was afraid of water.

"Not really. I have no problem with duckling. It's very comfortable to go duckling in the hot summer. But my uncle is a bit fierce. I'm afraid of him."

My great uncle always had a stern face, and there was no child in the village who was not afraid of him.

Er'er had never been beaten by her uncle. The most she experienced was his strictness when they were swimming.

It looks very old-fashioned and is indeed a bit scary.

Not to mention Er'er, even Xu Yiyi was a little timid when she first came, even more timid than she is now.

The dinner table was very lively. According to Sihai, Wuyuan had grown up smart, so he kept asking for food.

The chubby children were placed in the cradle, with a small pillow on their chests, practicing prone and raised head movements, their eyes fixed on their constantly moving mouths, babbling non-stop.

It is probably because he has many brothers and sisters, and people talk to him from morning to night, which causes the child to chatter non-stop all day long and look like a chatterbox.

Sihai's mouth was full of oil, holding a piece of pork belly in his hand. Looking at his brother's cute big eyes, his heart was moved.

Two chubby little hands casually wiped the clothes on the chest. Xu Yiyi didn't think much of this action, but Er'er couldn't bear it anymore.

He looked at her with some disdain, but didn't say anything yet.

The next moment, Sihai stood up from the chair and walked to Wuyuan's cradle. He pinched his brother's face with his chubby little hands, and with a "slap", he rubbed the oil on his face onto Wuyuan's face.

"My fat little brother is so cute, be good! When you grow up, I will give you meat to eat."

Sihai has a fascinated love for his younger brother and often hugs and kisses him. Xu Yiyi sometimes feels that Wuyuan is more like his little toy.

Wu Yuan stuck out his tongue and licked Si Hai's face, but Xu Yiyi pulled it away the next moment.

Sihai's little face was covered in grease, and Wuyuan was still young, so his stomach couldn't handle the food and he got diarrhea easily.

"It's good that I didn't bully Wu Yuan."

Er'er picked up a piece of abalone and put it into Sihai's bowl. A Yue really eats a lot.

In just a short while, there was not much pork belly left on the plate.

If she didn't pick some for Sihai, he would have nothing to eat.

Seeing her brother looking at her with a smile, Er'er was no longer angry.

The chaos made Er'er forget the fear he felt when he saw the corpse.

After the children at home fell asleep, Xu Yiyi slowly went out to the beach.

When she arrived, she saw something wrapped tightly in a straw mat, but she couldn't tell what it was.

"What's with all that curiosity? You even came all the way here to see it."

The uncle looked at Xu Yiyi with disdain and continued to negotiate with the government officials.

The body had begun to rot, and its face, waist, and legs had all been eaten. It was probably eaten by sharks or other carnivorous creatures.

The body was incomplete and they were unable to identify the person, so they immediately reported it to the police.

Probably not from the island.

Not long after Xu Yiyi arrived, the body was taken away by government officials.

"Er'er found out and must be terrified. Go back and make her some ginger water."

The uncle glanced at Xu Yiyi who was standing next to him and reminded him.

The body was taken away and the people around immediately dispersed.

Xu Yiyi went back and carried the milk bucket to the yard to milk the goat. She took the ginger and finely ground it into a paste on a stone. She then filtered it twice with gauze to get clean ginger juice.

There was a fire burning in the kitchen, and Wu Yuan refused to sleep so she asked him to carry him out.

The child was blowing bubbles playfully, and when he saw Xu Yiyi coming over, he kicked his little hands and feet vigorously.

The goat milk in the pot was bubbling. Xu Yiyi added sugar into the pot and boiled it until it melted. He then poured the goat milk into the bowl of ginger juice.

The spicy ginger flavor and the sweet milk flavor instantly collided with each other.

After all the bowls were filled with goat milk, I looked back.

Wu Yuan was watching curiously.

The plate covered the bowl, making a crisp sound.

The child followed the sound, saying "oh, oh, ah," with his eyes shining.

Xu Yiyi carried Wu Yuan out, and she found that Wu Yuan liked listening to sounds very much.

No matter what the sound was, the cry of seagulls, the splash of big waves, the swish of small waves gently brushing against the beach, even the tuneless ballad that Sihai hummed at home, he was fascinated by it.

The brother and sister stood on the beach, listening quietly.

Wu Yuan turned his head to look at his elder sister, then slowly lay on her shoulder and fell asleep in a short while.

Xu Yiyi estimated the time it would take for the ginger milk to form, and carried Wu Yuan home.

Sihai was the first to wake up. A Yue and Er Er were sleeping soundly in the room.

"Sister, I smell such a delicious smell. Have you made something delicious?"

Sihai's eyes drifted towards the bowls placed in the kitchen. They were covered tightly and he couldn't tell what was inside.

"I made ginger milk for you."

Xu Yiyi put Wu Yuan back into his cradle and went to the kitchen to bring out two bowls.

In fact, ginger milk is mostly made from fresh buffalo milk. It was the first time for Xu Yiyi to make and eat it with goat milk.

It's soft in the mouth and not too sweet.

"Second sister encountered something today and got scared. Let's eat less this time. Leave one bowl for your third brother and one bowl for Ah Yue. The rest can be given to Second sister, okay?"

Sihai popped his head out of the bowl.

"I still have a lot, I'll give it all to my second sister."

"It's okay, eat it. This is for you."

Sihai glanced at the food in the kitchen, then looked at the food in his own bowl before picking up the spoon to eat again.

After the two of them finished eating, A Yue and Er Er woke up.

A Yue didn't know if her sense of smell was too sharp, but she immediately smelled the ginger in it and covered her nose and stayed away.

Seeing his master's reaction, Sihai scooped a spoonful and stuffed it into her mouth.

I thought A Yue would like it, but I didn't expect her to spit it out as soon as she put it in her mouth.

A big bowl of ginger milk was a bargain for Sihai and Sanchuan.

"Take your time to eat the remaining four bowls. Eat a bowl when you remember."

Xu Yiyi didn’t know whether Jiang was really a divine being, but she hoped it was true.

I just hope the little girl can forget about that incident quickly.
