The surgery went smoothly and was completed in less than 15 minutes.
It's a girl.
She is a little underweight, but still relatively healthy.
His voice was extremely loud.
After wiping the little one's body dry with a warm cloth, Xiao Qingyin wrapped her in swaddling clothes and held her in Yun Shu's arms.
"Look, his facial features are exactly the same as yours."
Yun Shu looked down at the child, her face full of tenderness.
Xiao Qingyin noticed her difference and quickly asked, "Have you regained consciousness?"
Yun Shu blinked a few times.
—It has recovered a little, but it feels like there's a barrier, and I can't feel the pain.
"It's possible that the anesthetic effect hasn't worn off yet."
Xiao Qingyin replied.
Because she was worried that Yun Shu might wake up during the surgery, she used some anesthetic.
You'll find out soon enough.
Just then, Wei Yan's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Sister Xiao, how is Xiao Shu? May I come in?"
Xiao Qingyin turned her head and called out to the door, "Come in."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the door was suddenly pushed open, and Wei Yan rushed in.
"Xiao Shu, are you alright?"
He knelt on one knee by the bed, took Yun Shu's hand, and asked.
Yun Shu winked at him.
—I'm fine. Look, this is our daughter.
Wei Yan then noticed the child in her arms.
The baby was nestled in the swaddling clothes with his eyes closed, his little face rosy, looking extremely well-behaved.
"Like you."
He said softly.
My heart felt as if it had been kneaded, and suddenly it became much softer.
However, he hadn't forgotten Yun Shu's condition. After checking on the child, he hurriedly asked Xiao Qingyin, "Sister Xiao, what about Xiao Shu...?"
“She’s fine,” Xiao Qingyin replied. “The surgery went smoothly. We’ll wait a little longer until the anesthesia wears off and we’ll know if she’s regained consciousness.”
Wei Yan was instantly overwhelmed with joy.
"Is Xiao Shu feeling better?"
"Possibly."
Wei Yan knew that she wouldn't say it was possible unless she was 80 or 90% sure, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
He hugged the two children on the bed tightly, feeling that today was truly the most memorable day of his life.
The Han family and others who entered a few steps later also heard Xiao Qingyin's words and all showed their delight.
"Xiao Shu is recovering? That's wonderful!"
"I am truly grateful to Guanyin and Buddha for their protection. I will definitely go to the temple to fulfill my vow later."
"The bitter times are finally over and the sweetness has arrived."
"..."
After everyone finished expressing their feelings and looking at the child, they waited in the room for Yun Shu to recover.
Xiao Qingyin's medication was extremely precise; she only left the effects for a quarter of an hour longer, so everyone didn't have to wait long before they saw Yun Shu's finger twitch slightly.
Although it was just a finger, everyone was so happy that their eyes welled up with tears.
"It's all right! Xiao Shu is really all right!"
Xiao Qingyin reminded, "It will still take several months of recovery before you can return to normal."
Han wiped her eyes and said, "We've made it through two years, what's a few months? As long as you get better."
Since Yun Shu's accident, she has been worried about it every single day.
Finally, the clouds have parted and the moon is shining; it was worth the child taking such a great risk.
Remembering Yun Zhaolai, who would write every few days to inquire about Yun Shu's condition, she hurriedly said to Xiao Qingyin, "Quickly, send a message to your cousin and tell him that Xiao Shu has a daughter and has regained consciousness."
Without her saying anything, Xiao Qingyin was also prepared to do so, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go write the letter now."
After writing the letter, she put it in the mailbox and tied it to the carrier pigeon that she used to communicate with Yun Zhao.
After watching the pigeons fly into the blue sky, she couldn't help but think of Qiu San Niang's fat pigeon.
Judging by the time, she should be returning to the South China Sea by now.
I wonder what she looks like after this round-the-world voyage...
Yun Zhao, far away in Nan Yue, was also thinking about this problem.
He received a message from Qiu Sanniang more than a month ago, saying that she had left Beiyang and entered the Daxi Sea area.
She was going to travel around the world and return to South Vietnam.
Since receiving the news, Yun Zhao has been eagerly awaiting her return every day.
But looking around, none of the ships coming from the north were hers.
He could only lean on the deck all day, gazing at the sea to the north, waiting for that familiar, graceful figure to appear.
She must have lost a lot of weight.
He thought to himself.
When I looked into the distance, I suddenly noticed a small black dot at the horizon.
The black dot approached his ship at an extremely fast speed.
Before long, its form was revealed.
It turned out to be a giant whale.
Whales often appear in this area, and he has helped countless whales get rid of barnacles and sea lice, so he was not particularly surprised by the sudden appearance of the large whale.
But just as he looked away, a soldier behind him shouted in alarm, "There's someone on the whale's back!"
He was a little surprised and quickly looked up.
Sure enough, a person was sitting cross-legged on the whale's back, a person with disheveled hair, letting his long hair flutter in the sea breeze.
At first, he couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, but when he got closer and could see the outline of her body, he recognized that it was a woman.
The woman's face was covered by messy hair.
His heart began to pound.
Something was surging and churning in his blood, as if it were about to set him ablaze.
When the whale swam about fifty meters away, the woman reached out and brushed the stray hairs from her face, revealing a bright smile.
The soldiers erupted in uproar and rushed to the railing.
"Is this the Goddess of the Sea? Mother, your son has made something of himself, he has seen the living Goddess of the Sea."
"The Sea Goddess is so beautiful, a hundred times more beautiful than the statues in the temple."
