Tiredness, like a huge hand, tightly grasped Wanwan. She felt her broken body like a fallen flower on the water, drifting helplessly with the waves.
Is she dead, or still alive?
With a heavy collision, Wanwan felt that her body was hit against a hard place in her daze. She tried to open her eyes - the white sand was vast, the sun was scorching - she, she was back on the shore!
A trace of joy of rebirth hit Wanwan's heart. Wanwan supported herself and stood up - in front of her were the wooden houses that she was very familiar with, and there was Grandma Wang drying fish, Aunt Tong was mending the net, and Brother Xie was waving a hammer to repair the wooden boat - God, it was her home, she was really alive, back...
"Ah! Isn't that Sister Wanwan?" Several children playing on the beach first discovered Wanwan, and one of them jumped up and shouted.
Wanwan's tears flowed down. This was not a dream. She was really back...
"Xiaomu! It's me, sister Wanwan..." Wanwan smiled and cried, stretching her arms towards the child named Xiaomu.
"Xiaomu! You, stop! Come here, come here!--" Suddenly, a middle-aged woman's shrill cry came from high up on the shore. Xiaomu, who was running towards Wanwan, was strangled by the cry and looked back in confusion.
Wanwan was also stunned and looked in the direction of Xiaomu's sight--she saw Xiaomu's mother standing next to the wooden boat, looking at her with horror.
Xiaomu was still unwilling to give up, and shouted to his mother, "Mom, it's Sister Wanwan, Sister Wanwan is back!"
Xiaomu's mother's shrill cry sounded again, "Stop right there! She is not your Sister Wanwan, your Sister Wanwan has been dedicated to the Sea God! If she comes back, it means that the Sea God will not accept her, she, she will bring disaster to our village!..."
No! No... Wanwan wanted to shout out loud, she wanted to tell them that the Sea God had "wanted" her, although he left her life, he took her body!
But how could she shout out such words? Wanwan stood on the white sand bank, letting the surging sea behind her hit her bare feet, hurting like a needle.
Finally she was able to return to the human world alive, and finally she could see her relatives again, but the people in the whole village looked at her with horrified eyes. In the few days after she came back, no one dared to talk to her. Even her brother and sister-in-law kept a distance from her...
Wanwan's heart was buried in ashes. She would rather die than see what was happening in front of her!
What did she do wrong? Why did people treat her so cruelly?
She wanted to complain, but she really understood - they were all ordinary people, they were all full of fear of the mysterious sea, and they could only reflect their worries about the future on her...
The parents looked at Wanwan's increasingly gray face and cried secretly, but they could not help at all.
Finally, the respected wizard in the village sighed and told Wanwan, "Your life is destined to be full of twists and turns. Only by staying away from places with water can you keep your life safe. Child, go west, there is a vast desert, which is the farthest place from water. It is called Loulan..."
Please, let me go..." The huge waves rolled up white foam, covering the sky and the sun. Wanwan shrank back and looked at the man standing upright on the waves.
The tall body was covered with scales as white as moonlight, and the silver-blue hair was flying between the waves. He was so handsome, but why did he have such an evil smile? The green pupils were full of plunder, forcing Wanwan to have no way out!
"Fool, where can you run to? You have swallowed my spirit pearl, and you are destined to be entangled with me for the rest of your life. The person who swallowed my spirit pearl is destined to be the mother of my child... Come, don't run, be obedient..." As he spoke, the slender fingers had already touched Wanwan's neck, and the cold fingertips slid gently along Wanwan's collarbone.
Wanwan couldn't help but swallow her saliva violently, and the desire in her body burned like a flame, which scared her!
She was actually - longing for his touch!
As if he understood Wanwan's thoughts, the man smiled and stopped his slender fingers at the soft depression between Wanwan's collarbones, chuckling, "That's right... Obviously, you also long for me so much, so why do you have to run away? Let me love you, love you well..."
There was a mist between heaven and earth, and it seemed that there were large white lotuses blooming and flowing in the water waves in the distance. The man's body changed again, and his slender legs turned into a huge dragon tail, tightly wrapped around Wanwan's body, and slowly attacked...
"Ah! No, no... Let me go, you monster!"
"Wanwan, wake up, what's wrong with you?" A soft call suddenly sounded in her ears. Wanwan opened her eyes with sweat on her forehead, but found a woman's face, looking at her calmly.
Looking around again, it turned out to be a carriage, and she was in the carriage with the woman in front of her.
Seeing Wanwan wake up, the woman smiled slightly, "Wipe the sweat off your head quickly, we will arrive at the new son-in-law's house later, and we have to help the young lady take a good look at the future son-in-law! "
Wanwan breathed hard, and her brain started working again. It turned out that everything that had just happened was just a nightmare.
She remembered that she was already in the ancient city of Loulan. She sold herself as a slave to make a living and became a maid of the daughter of the Zhang family, a big merchant in the ancient city of Loulan. The Zhang family married another big merchant family in the ancient city of Loulan, the Lin family. The second daughter of the Zhang family, Menglian, was about to marry the young master of the Lin family, Lin Meisheng. And she came with the Zhang family to pay respects this time. Zhang Menglian specifically asked the two maids to come, just to let them help see what kind of person Lin Meisheng was.
Wanwan tidied up her sweaty hair and sat next to the maid named Xuandie, "Xuan, you are a local of Loulan, so you should have heard of or seen this Mr. Lin Meisheng, why did you come to see him today? "
Xuan Die shook her head, "The Lin family is one of the biggest merchants in the area. They have been doing business on the Silk Road for many years, mainly engaged in silk, porcelain, and spices. But this Mr. Lin is a bit strange. He has rarely shown up in the past few years. He is like a lady from a wealthy family, never leaving the house."
Wan Wan frowned, "How could this be? Since their family is a merchant, they will always rely on him to establish a family in the future. How can a merchant not see people?"
Xuan Die nodded, "Otherwise, why is the lady so worried! I am afraid that this Mr. Lin is either ugly or disabled!"
