"This is my home."

The child spoke without thinking, staring blankly at Ye Yun with a surprised expression, as if Ye Yun were a fool who didn't even know her own home.

Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh.

"Silly girl, of course they know this is home. They're asking where we are." A young woman carrying a bamboo basket on her back and two bags of items in her hands entered the house.

Seeing that Ye Yun had woken up, the woman put down what she was holding and walked towards her with a smile.

"You're awake. This is the coast. The men from our village found you when they went fishing." The woman had a kind face. She poured a glass of water and handed it to Ye Yun.

Ye Yun quickly said thank you.

The water in the blanket was warm. She took a small sip and sincerely thanked them, saying, "Thank you for saving me."

"You are welcome."

The woman looked at her curiously and asked, "How did you end up in the sea? And you're injured. Was your ship robbed by pirates? Judging from your clothes, you don't look like someone from around here. How did you drift to our area?"

Ye Yun nodded.

The situation was complicated, and she didn't know how to explain it to the woman in front of her.

She looked around the room. There was only a single wire connecting a simple light bulb. There was no radio, no television, and no other equipment to receive information from the outside world.

"By the way, there's a man with you. Is he your husband?"

The woman's voice rang out, and Ye Yun was startled. A sudden burst of joy ignited in her heart. It was Qin Zheng.

Where is he?

“He went to the market to sell fish with the men from our village.” The woman had a knowing look on her face and smiled. “Don’t worry, your man is fine and not injured. But you are seriously injured. We had to hire a very good doctor to save your life. You had a fever for three days and slept for three whole days. Today is the fourth day.”

Hearing this, she felt relieved.

As long as Qin Zheng is alright, that's all that matters.

Perhaps because she hadn't eaten for several days, her body was very weak, and she was already feeling weak after being awake for a short while.

The woman cooked porridge and fed it to her.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, a lively chatter came from outside. Soon, the door of the cabin was pushed open, and Qin Zheng, carrying a bag of tonics, entered the cabin.

Ye Yun was fast asleep.

Half asleep and half awake, she heard familiar footsteps. She opened her eyes slightly and saw a familiar figure with his back to her, doing something she couldn't tell what.

She called softly, "Qin Zheng."

The person with his back to him suddenly stiffened, turned around, looked at her in surprise, and two seconds later a look of wild joy appeared in his eyes.

"young married woman!"

He hurriedly put down the goat milk in his hand, got up to find Ye Yun, and almost tripped over the small stool next to him in his haste. He stumbled twice and fell to the bedside, where he immediately grabbed Ye Yun's hand tightly.

Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh.

Why are you in such a hurry?

She had just woken up, and her voice was terribly hoarse.

Qin Zheng's eyes reddened, and he held her hand tightly, rubbing it against his cheek repeatedly. He almost cried as soon as he opened his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down before he finally suppressed his emotions and said in a low, hoarse voice, "You scared me to death..."

"..."

Seeing him like that, I was really terrified.

Ye Yun gently touched his face and pinched his earlobe, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, everything will be alright once I wake up."

"Yes, it's good that you're awake!"

Qin Zheng nodded emphatically.

During the days Ye Yun was in a coma, he was extremely worried, truly afraid that she wouldn't wake up.

It's a miracle she woke up after being stabbed, falling into the sea, and being submerged for so long; she truly escaped death.

"Wife, have something to eat."

After he finished speaking, he got up and went to the small table where he had been sitting. Ye Yun looked at him suspiciously, and then she saw him bring over a bowl of white milk.

"Wife, this is goat milk."

“You’ve been unconscious these past few days and haven’t been able to eat anything, so I’ve been giving you this to drink every day. At least it will ensure that your body gets the nutrition it needs,” Qin Zheng said, lifting her upper body and feeding her the goat milk.

In a short while, Ye Yun had drunk half a bowl of goat milk.

She couldn't drink the remaining half bowl, so she shook her head, pushed the bowl away, and said, "You can drink the rest."

"Want some more?"

"No, I just had some porridge that my sister-in-law cooked for lunch, so I'm not that hungry right now."

"OK."

Qin Zheng stopped trying to persuade him and drank the remaining goat milk in the bowl in one gulp.

He then put down the bowl, picked up the pillow, and placed it behind Ye Yun's back to make her as comfortable as possible.

After hearing that Ye Yun had woken up, people from the village came to visit her, bringing a can of milk powder of an unknown brand, saying it was a rare item to help Ye Yun recover.

As the people in the room talked, Ye Yun learned that this was a coastal area in the south.

The village chief said they found her and Qin Zheng while fishing at sea.

She lost consciousness after falling into the sea, but before she passed out, she saw Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng grabbed her and swam her to the surface.

Qin Zheng swam with her.

He has a great sense of direction; even in the vast ocean, he can tell which way home to go, and luckily, he encountered a fishing boat that was out fishing.

The old village chief was also very nice.

Normally, their fishing boat would take one or two months to go on a trip. However, when the old village chief discovered that she was seriously injured and the doctor on the boat could not treat her, he decisively abandoned the rest of the trip and took them back to the mainland for treatment.

She was so lucky.

In a desolate fishing village stretching to the horizon, fishermen living at the very bottom of society are willing to lose both their money and lives for the sake of a stranger.
