The fragments may be divided into several parts and hidden in different people's bodies.
Aruo pressed her handkerchief tightly, revealing her beautiful eyes. "With outsiders here, it's inconvenient for me to leave now."
Xiaoyu apologized slightly, "I'm sorry everyone, my sister is afraid of strangers and she has important things to do. I'll take care of you."
The old village chief brought in a pot of tea, steaming hot, saying, "It's just simple food, please don't find it offensive."
"Dad, let me do it, you rest." Xiaoyu took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself.
The cup was chipped and had a lot of stains on the bottom; it was clearly an old one.
The old village chief insisted, "I'll do it."
"No, I'll do it."
The two struggled for it, and Lin Xi snatched it away, saying, "I'll do it myself."
The old village chief remained motionless, as if he were stuck.
Xiaoyu clutched her trouser leg, her voice barely audible, "Thank you for taking care of Daddy, Sister Xiaoxi. I'm going out to cook."
Lin Xi waved her hand. "Go ahead."
The teapot emitted a delicate and elegant fragrance, so enticing that one couldn't resist taking a sip.
Xiao Mu leaned closer and smelled it. "Pre-rain Longjing tea, an absolute gem."
The old village chief chuckled, his tone flat and even, "Young hero, you have excellent taste. My relative brought this back from out of town. Have a taste, have a taste..."

Everyone fell silent.
Ignoring everyone, Xiaoyu started eating by herself, swallowing the fish meat, including the sharp fish bones, bite by bite.
She suddenly burst into tears, "Waaah, my sister is leaving, I'm so sad...waaah..."
The old village chief finally moved. "Xiaoyu, don't cry. Aruo will come back to see us in the future."
Lin Xi asked, "Where is she going?"
Xiaoyu wiped away her tears. "My sister will be getting married tomorrow, to the sea god who protects the village."
Xiao Tu and Xiao Mu exchanged a glance, "Sea God Yu Ruo!!"
Xiaoyu shook her head, "Who is Yu Ruo? I don't know her."
Xiao Tu pressed further, "Who is this sea god you're talking about?"
Xiaoyu cupped her face, her eyes full of anticipation, "The Sea God's name is Canglin, the most perfect man in the world."
