Xia Yinian was groggy and completely unaware of where she had been and how many places she had visited.
It was as if she had been traversing mountains and ridges.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself on a ship.
"She’s awake, the little girl is awake." Soone noticed that she had woken up and imdiately went to call others.
Soon, there were several more people in the room.
Xia Yinian instinctively hid on the inner side of the bed, watching the strangers before her with a guarded expression.
"Little girl, don’t be scared, we’re not bad people."
A woman around forty approached with a gentle smile: "My na is Aunt i, could you let check if your fever has gone down?"
Xia Yinian didn’t speak, just clutched the blanket tightly, still looking defensive.
"Don’t be afraid, we really aren’t bad people, we just rescued you from the sea."
"I..." Xia Yinian had just begun to speak when she imdiately realized how hoarse her voice sounded.
It was as if her voice was stuck in her throat, unable to co out.
"Your throat has been damaged by the seawater, don’t talk for now, let check your temperature."
Not wanting to scare the little girl, Aunt i waved her hand, indicating for everyone to go out.
After they left, Aunt i sat down beside the bed and reached out to touch Xia Yinian’s forehead.
Perhaps because everyone had left and only the two of them were left in the room, Xia Yinian finally felt less afraid.
Aunt i felt her forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "The fever has gone down, thank heavens!"
Xia Yinian looked at her with slightly sore eyes.
Aunt i returned the gaze with a soft look: "Are you a tourist visiting nearby? Don’t speak, just nod if yes, shake your head if no."
Xia Yinian shook her head.
Aunt i was a bit surprised: "Then, were you passing by on a ship?"
Xia Yinian still shook her head.
Aunt i beca even more astonished. If not a tourist and not passing by on a ship, how then could she have ended up in the sea in this area?
"Do you know how you ended up in the water?"
Xia Yinian thought about it but still shook her head.
"You weren’t abducted, were you?" Aunt i suddenly looked frightened.
Xia Yinian looked at her; this ti, she neither nodded nor shook her head, nor did she speak.
Aunt i seed a little troubled, suddenly turned around, and walked towards the door.
Xia Yinian felt a bit stronger now and imdiately got out of bed, hurriedly walking towards the door.
Her clothes had been changed to dry ones, which weren’t the ones she was wearing before she was attacked.
Now, she had no idea where she was. All she knew was that she had overheard her father and grandpa talking about how she was not...
She rushed out of the room, only to discover that she was on a moderately sized fishing boat. It seed that these people were local fishern.
Upon seeing Xia Yinian co out, everyone gathered around again.
Xia Yinian still didn’t know whether these people were related to those who had abducted her, and she instinctively backed up against the wall, facing them.
"Looks like, you’re really getting better," said a middle-aged man with a smile.
Aunt i stepped forward, looking at her with a gentle, soothing voice: "Don’t be scared, this is the outskirts of Yaoshan, we’re local fishern."
"Last night, we found you in the sea and rescued you, and today, you woke up."
"Yaoshan?" Her throat was in pain, making it very difficult to speak.
However, Yaoshan, the na of this city seed familiar. Where had she heard it before?
Suddenly, she rembered sothing – the conversation she overheard between Gu Beicheng and Third Young Master Feng, that na was ntioned.
Yaoshan was Third Young Master Feng’s hotown!
