Chapter 179: 【178】Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 29 (First Update)

"Yan Qing, 18 years old. How about you guys?"

His voice was clear and concise, offering nothing more than a name and an age as a form of introduction.

years old? No way! This scruffy-looking guy is only 18?

Xiao Yu was shocked, and Xiao Ze was also surprised, "If you hadn’t said anything, I would have thought you were in your twenties or thirties. You’re only 18?"

Mr. Yan, belatedly realizing, followed their gaze and checked himself, only then noticing his missing hair and uneven beard.

Xiao Yu hurriedly explained, "Well, when I found you, your body was so dirty, and your hair was all clumped together. It wasn’t convenient to clean you up in that state, so I shaved it for you. If you’re unhappy about it, maybe you can grow it back?"

Xiao Yu’s words were innocent, and she made it clear that she had done it only to help him, which made it hard for Yan Qing to blame her, yet he still felt hard to express his feelings, wanting to complain but held back due to the life-saving grace, he just frowned and tugged at his hair, looking visibly upset.

Actually, Yan Qing had almost figured out the siblings’ situation since Xiao Yu had been calling her brother’s name for the past few days.

So, she generously shared their situation, "I’m Shen Xiaoyu, 13 years old, and this is my brother Shen Ze. You can call him Ze or Xiao Ze, he’s only ten. We too were stranded here. If you don’t mind, you could stay with us for now. When we come across a ship, it won’t be too late to leave. Although we have a small boat, it can’t take us far. The sea changes rapidly and it’s easy to encounter danger."

Yan Qing could deeply relate to this, but when Xiao Yu asked how he contracted the disease, Yan Qing’s expression darkened, and his voice turned cold.

"When we set sail, the epidemic hadn’t broken out yet. Later, people on the ship gradually began to feel unwell. I had limited contact with the crew, and by the time I realized something was wrong, I hid in the cabin below, surviving on the food inside. But, I didn’t expect to get infected. After that, I lost consciousness. You mentioned finding me by the seaside, did you see any wreckage of the ship?"

The siblings shook their heads in unison, "No, the sea was clean. There were no fragments at all."

Yan Qing pursed his lips, a face slowly forming in his mind. Could it be that this mishap was orchestrated by someone?

Shen Xiaoyu might not have realized that her unintentional actions had caused Yan Qing to take much more circuitous paths.

As for Yan Qing’s past, contemporary Shen Xiaoyu wasn’t interested, and Shen Ze, being just a ten-year-old child, was even less interested.

Yan Qing, upon discovering that these randomly found medicines actually alleviated his disease, grew to respect this clever yet foolish girl even more.

Randomly picked medicine could cure his epidemic; truly a genius.

If Xiao Yu could hear this, she would definitely give a dark chuckle. That’s the perk of having a ’Golden Finger’. The first life was hard, isn’t this life reaping the benefits? Of course, this was also thanks to her immense merit from her previous life. As for this life, well...

If possible, she would actually like to share this prescription to save more people.

Yan Qing said they had been on the ship for over two months by then, which meant that his boarding time roughly matched the time when the siblings had arrived at this shore.

In other words, did the epidemic start over two months ago?
