Wow~

The waves hit the rocks and brought Wu Yue to the shore.

"Ahem."

Wu Yue coughed up a mouthful of sea water, opened her eyes and looked around. Through the dim light under the dark clouds, she saw a rather large island, and she felt a little relieved.

She had been soaking in the sea water for an unknown length of time. Her shabby linen clothes clung to her body, and she couldn't help but shiver when the sea breeze blew.

'No, no matter how tired you are, you can't lie down here, otherwise you'll get cold. Besides, a storm is coming, so we must find a place to take shelter as soon as possible.'

As a pearl diver who lives by the sea, Wu Yue knows how terrible storms can be.

After soaking in the sea water for so long, her body temperature had dropped to an extremely low level. If she lay still on the rocks and let the storm hit her, she would still get cold even if she was not swept away by the waves.

The island didn't look big, and it was unlikely that anyone had a doctor. If she caught the cold, she might die.

Thinking of this, Wu Yue bit her teeth, climbed up with her tired body, and staggered towards the island.

Thinking of the previous experience, Wu Yue's pale and pretty face couldn't help but reveal a hint of bitterness.

She never expected that Uncle Qin, who had been very kind to her and her grandma in the past, would take the opportunity to take her alone to go fishing for pearls and molest her.

If she hadn't jumped into the sea decisively, her innocence might have been ruined.

'You also said that it's all because I'm so beautiful, you can't help liking me, and so on, but you don't want to think about yourself as a man with a wife and children... Huh, you are obviously greedy for my body.'

Thinking of Uncle Qin's ugly behavior on the boat, Wu Yue was simply disgusted.

Boom!

Thunder sounded.

After a while, heavy raindrops began to fall.

Wu Yue gathered her thoughts and tried her best to speed up and walk towards the island.

There are not many tall trees on the island, but there are overgrown shrubs and weeds, and the rocks are rugged, which looks a bit scary against the backdrop of water vapor and lightning.

Wu Yue tried her best to walk to the hills on the island. Based on her experience, she should be able to find a place to shelter from the rain.

However, she was so exhausted from drifting on the sea that she was hit by a rock when she was going up the mountain. She fell and rolled to the other side of the cliff.

In a hurry, she grabbed a vine and stopped herself.

Climbing up, Wu Yue was surprised to find that a cave was revealed where she pulled away the vines!

'This island is not big, so there shouldn't be any wild beasts, right?'

Thinking this in her heart, and seeing that the storm was getting worse, Wu Yue mustered up the courage to walk into the cave.

Because it is on a slope, the cave also slopes upward, so it is very dry.

After entering the cave, Wu Yue didn't smell any strange smell, so she continued walking in the dark.

After walking a few steps, she kicked a bunch of things. She knelt down and touched them, and couldn't help but look happy.

It turned out that there was a pile of dead branches and thatch on the ground. Although it was covered with dust, it was dry.

'I heard that some hunters can use stones to start fires. There are a lot of stones in this cave. Maybe I can try it.'

Wu Yue is a girl who dares to think and act, otherwise she would not have gone to the sea to collect pearls and take care of her grandma since she was thirteen years old.

In the year since her grandma passed away, she has become stronger and more independent while living alone.

With an idea in mind, she combed the thatch, touched two more stones, and started to try.

To Wu Yue's surprise, sparks appeared when one of the stones was touched.

"It's actually a flint?"

Surprised, Wu Yue worked harder.

Because of her rich experience in lighting fires, Wu Yue quickly lit up a small fire.

Afraid of not having enough firewood in the cave, she didn't dare to burn too much.

Then, she used the firelight to collect dead branches, weeds and other things that could be burned in the cave.

However, when she turned to face the inner wall of the cave, she saw a figure in the light of the fire, and she was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.

If it were an ordinary woman, she would probably be too scared to move or turn around and run away.

But Wu Yue didn't.

"Are you a human or a ghost?" she asked loudly.

The figure didn't move or speak.

Wu Yue held her breath, grabbed a burning branch, and threw it over.

With the brighter firelight, she finally saw clearly that the figure turned out to be a man sitting cross-legged on the rocks...or was it a corpse?

Wu Yue was a little unsure.

Because the man was covered in dust and covered with a layer of cobwebs, she couldn't tell whether he was a mummy or not.

"He didn't even respond when I shouted so loudly. It must be a corpse, right?"

She muttered to herself and further tested the man. Seeing that the man still didn't respond, Wu Yue picked up a handful of burning branches and boldly approached him.

After approaching, Wu Yue used the bundle of grass held in her other hand to carefully sweep away the cobwebs and dust on the man's body.

Perhaps it took too long, and the man's robe was torn when it was scratched by a grass stem.

Seeing this, Wu Yue basically confirmed that the man was a corpse.

Out of respect for the deceased, she swept the floor more carefully.

But when the man's left hand was cleared, Wu Yue couldn't help but trembled and took three steps back.

Because she found that this man's skin showed no signs of decay at all, just like a living person!

'Is he alive?'

'But looking at the dust on his body and the robe that rips when he moves, he must have been sitting in this cave for at least several decades? How could a living person stay for so long? If he is a living person, why do you ignore him when you call him?'

With her mind spinning, Wu Yue boldly shouted again: "Senior?"

The man still didn't move.

'I heard that rich people are buried with orbs in their mouths after death, which can ensure the immortality of their bodies for thousands of years. Could it be that this senior has that kind of orbs in his mouth?'

Thinking of the legendary orb, Wu Yue became more courageous and began to step forward to clean up the man's body.

Wu Yue's hands and feet were very quick, but in a short time the dust and cobwebs on the man's body were almost cleaned away.

At the same time, the man's appearance was also revealed in front of Wu Yue.

To her surprise, although the man had a short beard, judging from the lines on his face, he seemed to be only in his thirties. His brows were like swords, his nose was straight, and he looked very handsome.

The most important thing is that even though his eyes are closed and he is silent, he still has an extraordinary temperament, which makes Wuyue unable to help but feel sad.

She went into the sea to fish for pearls when she was thirteen years old. Now she is sixteen or seventeen and has experienced a lot, but she has never seen such a handsome man with extraordinary temperament.

But she soon changed her attention.

Because during the cleaning process, she tore more of the man's robe, revealing a gray-white silk robe underneath.

At first, she was attracted by the texture of the robe and touched it subconsciously. Then she discovered that the silk robe did not break with just a scratch like the outer robe. Instead, it was extremely strong, cold and silky, and felt strange to the touch.

Even though she had never heard of such clothing, Wu Yue realized that it was a treasure.

She didn't need to take the pearl that the man might have in his mouth because she didn't know if she could leave the island, but the man's silk robe was what she needed - she was too cold now.

Wu Yue hesitated before starting to take off the man's silk robe, then knelt down in front of the man's body and said sincerely: "The little girl Wu Yue is living on this desert island. It is fate that she met her predecessors here. However, the little girl is now suffering from hunger and cold.

I need to use the clothes of my seniors, so please forgive me for any disrespect."

After saying that, he kowtowed to the man's corpse with a loud bang.

Unexpectedly, on the third blow, the ground where he hit suddenly collapsed, revealing a small stone pit.

By the light of the fire, Wu Yue suddenly discovered that there was an ancient sword and a dark golden scroll inside!

Wu Yue was immediately attracted.

She picked up the ancient sword first and found that it was quite heavy, probably weighing more than ten kilograms.

The sword was easily pulled out. The blade was black but the blade had an edge.

In addition, there were two strange characters engraved on one side of the sword that she didn't recognize.

She picked up the scroll again and went to the fire to read it by the light of the fire.

Although she is a pearl diver, she is literate because of her grandmother's teachings. She is definitely not good at writing, but she has no problem reading some simple government notices.

But when she picked up the scroll and looked at it carefully, Wu Yue was surprised again.

Because the scroll seemed to contain real gold, but it was made using some method unknown to her.

Opening it up, the front of the scroll seemed to be a sea map, which Wu Yue couldn't quite understand.

Look at the back again, but it is filled with bright red handsome regular script——
