Chapter 548 - 548 Big Guy 2
548 Big Guy 2
This was what the people who came back alive said. An Xiaoou had never seen how big the fish actually was.
Everyone who went out to sea was skilled. They would not drown so easily.
However, after the big Kun appeared, it could flip ships, make the waves fierce, and knock people out by the huge waves. The survivors of the Xu family, who had come out of the disaster alive, would still turn pale when the big Kun was mentioned.
He said that in front of the big Kun, people were like mosquitoes, unable to resist at all.
“Brother, it’s a good thing you didn’t see it. Those people from the Xu family haven’t calmed down yet. Brother, Uncle, let’s go home quickly.”
An Xiaoou’s eyes reddened as she looked at her brother and uncle who had returned safely. She was very happy and relieved. She had even forgotten that the fishing boat had returned to the port with the intention of returning with a full load. She didn’t think of the fish at all. She only wanted her brother and uncle to go home as soon as possible.
“Okay, let’s go home.”
An Lie nodded heavily. Then, he looked at Su Xiaolu and was about to speak when Su Xiaolu spoke before him. “Go home first. You can give your mother and sister a pill to try. After taking one pill, you can take it every half a month at least. If it’s saturated, there won’t be any reaction if you take it again. It’s up to you. The two Masters and I are going back to the small courtyard. Let’s part ways here.”
“Alright, thank you for your reminder, Master. An Lie will follow your instructions.”
An Lie nodded solemnly.
Su Xiaolu, Old Wu, and Gui You left.
An Lie and his family also went home.
When they were about to reach home, An Xiaoou remembered that they went out to sea to fish. She smiled gently and said, “Brother, Uncle, can you guys not go out to sea from now on? Mother and I will make some textiles so that we can make money for the family.”
An Xiaoou did not care how much they had gained after returning from the sea. What she cared about was the safety of her family.
In addition, there was a big Kun in the sea now. It was really too dangerous to go out to sea to fish. Once they encountered the big Kun, it would be a miracle for them to survive.
An Cheng smiled and said, “Little Ou, aren’t you disappointed that we didn’t get anything this time?”
Knowing that it was a joke, An Xiaoou still wiped the corners of her eyes. She shook her head and said seriously, “I’m not disappointed, and neither is Mother. As long as you guys come back safely, it’s better than anything.”
Now that her body had recovered and her mother’s eyes had recovered, they could make textiles. They could also dig up some shellfish on the beach and find some crabs to sell. Even if they were not rich, they would not starve. The most important thing was for their family to be together safely.
“Let’s go home first.”
An Cheng smiled slightly. He was both unlucky and lucky in this life. At least, no matter when or how down and out he was, there would always be a place for him to stay.
However, they had gained something this time.
As soon as they got home, An Xiaoou called her mother from afar.
Hearing the commotion, Mother An also came out of the house. When she saw An Lie and An Cheng, she heaved a sigh of relief. Her kind eyes landed on the two of them and looked at them again. She said gently, “It’s good that you’re back. It’s good that you’re back.”
Upon entering the house, Mother An scooped some porridge for the two of them. “Eat something first.”
After An Lie and An Cheng ate the porridge with some side dishes, Mother An said gently, “Little Lie, Little Cheng, the sea is not quiet now. Why don’t you stay away from the sea in the future? Mother has thought about it. Doesn’t the An family want fishing boats? Let’s sell our boat to them. How about our family settle down with some land and live a peaceful life?”
She had lost an important family member. She knew what it felt like to be in despair, so she did not want to experience that feeling again.
An Lie and An Cheng paused.
An Cheng put down his bowl and chopsticks first and rolled up his pants.
“Sister-in-law, the world has changed. What we obtained this time might be something that the An family’s ancestors couldn’t exchange for even if they fished. Xiao Lie and I have a chance to become stronger, so we don’t want to retreat. We don’t want to be fish on the chopping block.”
An Cheng said seriously. There was nothing more shocking than him growing half a leg.
The moment Mother An saw his leg, she lost all words.
She covered her mouth with a trembling hand and could not recover for a long time.
Slowly, she accepted this shocking reality. Yes, her eyes could recover, and her daughter’s heart disease could recover. This miracle had long been revealed.
The world was changing, which was why the big Kun appeared.
An Xiaoou was also shocked and speechless. After a long while, she said, “Uncle’s leg, can it… grow back?”
Mother An also widened her eyes in shock. Regenerating limbs, how heaven-defying was that?
If such a thing could happen, what would the world they were in become?
It was unimaginable.
An Lie said, “Mother, Little Ou, we can’t change the world, but now that there’s a chance in front of us, we can change ourselves. We’ve also gained a lot this time. Although my Master is young, he’s stronger than everyone here. He can easily catch the arowana.”
An Lie took out a bottle and poured out two black pills for Mother An and An Xiaoou to take.
“Mother, Little Ou, these are the pills refined from arowana spiritual liquid. Uncle ate this and his leg grew back, and my body also became better. Eat it. From now on, our family has to practice martial arts. I know we are starting late, but if we practice a little, having a little foundation will not be better than nothing.”
An Lie’s expression was solemn. No one knew what the world would become, but they could control the changes in their own bodies.
To be more cruel, if they ran faster than others, they would have a higher chance of surviving. He would definitely do his best to protect his family, but he was not omnipotent.
Mother An and An Xiaoou ate the pills.
Mother An said gently but firmly, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. As long as you don’t mind that I’m slow, I’ll definitely learn diligently.”
An Xiaoou nodded firmly. “Brother, I’ll work hard too. I also want to become stronger so that I can protect you in the future.”
An Lie smiled and nodded. “Alright, we’ll never be separated as a family.”
An Cheng patted An Lie’s shoulder. “If you want to keep Xiao Ou as an old lady, you should see if Sister-in-law agrees.”
An Xiaoou blushed in embarrassment.
Mother An smiled and said nothing.

After Su Xiaolu, Gui You, and Old Wu returned to the small courtyard, Su Xiaolu took out a medicine bottle and said to Gui You, “Master Gui You, I want to ask you for a favor.”
Gui You said calmly, “Speak.”
He had already guessed a little.
Su Xiaolu said, “Master Gui You, I want you to send this bottle of pills extracted from the arowana back to the capital for my father and brothers to eat. Just give it to my second brother. I’ll write a letter along with it.”
