Chapter 15 - Return

As night fell, dragon head dock was still bright. The houses that had been set on fire were still burning. Each house looks like a giant torch.

The survivors of dragon head dock looked at their homes in silence. The crying was already in the past. Sadness shrouded them.

The corpses had been cleared out and brought back by their families, but many people were still missing.

To a certain extent, going missing was another way of saying that a dead body could not be found.

After all, when a corpse falls into the water, it would either sink into the water or float downstream. But many of the families who had not found their loved ones yet were still holding on to a trace of hope.

The Yuan family naturally did not find Yuan Zhao Di's body. Even though many people thought that the possibility of him being alive was low, the Yuan family did not believe that Zhao Di would have such a bad life.

After all, the Yuan family's first female member was his daughter.

...

After a night of suffering, Old Yuan and Old Madame Zeng had trouble falling asleep.

As for Madame Li, she was hugging the Yuan Bao and praying to the heavens.

Yuan Bao naturally heard what had happened.

She couldn't speak now, so she could only remain quiet.

However, she felt that her father's life should not be so short. After all, she had transmigrated here, and it was meant to be good luck.

When the sun rose from the east and dawn came, Old Yuan pushed open the door and told his sons to do what they were supposed to do. After all, they still had to carry on with their lives.

Just as the entire family gathered with a heavy heart to have breakfast, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Yuan Zhao Di had finally returned!

When the family saw Yuan Zhao Di return drenched, they were all shocked.

"Father, mother, big brother... I'm back!"

Yuan Zhao Di immediately spoke when he saw the family in a daze, which got his family members back to their senses.

"You, are you a human or a ghost?" Yuan Pan Di suddenly asked Yuan Zhao Di, who was standing at the door.

Initially, the whole family was pleased after recovering from the shock. However, Yuan Pan Di's question made everyone shiver. 

Then, Yuan Pan Di got slapped on the head by his father.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you see the shadow on the ground?"

Old Yuna slapped his eldest son and explained.

A shadow!

Ghosts do not have shadows; humans do!

"Zhao Di, you're finally back!"

"Where did you go yesterday? Where were you hiding when the pirates came?"

"That's right, fourth brother. We went crazy looking for you yesterday!"

After confirming that Yuan Zhao Di was a living person, the whole family began to talk and ask questions.

Yuan Zhao Di rolled his eyes and said, "Is there anything to eat?" I'm starving!"

How could he not be hungry?

Yesterday, he escaped by diving and then chased after the pirates' ship. Ultimately, he discovered that it was the imperial court's navy soldiers. At that time, Yuan Zhao Di was so scared that he lost all his strength.

Finally, he swam across the river and rushed home. He was exhausted.

"Yes, yes, hurry up!" Madame Zeng responded in a hurry.

"Hubby!" Madame Li shouted excitedly when she saw Yuan Zhao Di standing at the door.
