The Song family had fished for five generations, yet they were so poor they could barely feed themselves.
By the shore, Song Junian pulled a dainty little girl out of a seashell. She called him "Uncle" in a babyish voice.
The little girl had a mouth blessed with uncanny powers. She could say where the schools of fish were, and their nets would come up full. She could say there was medicine by the foot of the wall, and what they dug up would be just the thing to heal her brother's leg.
Qiyu, whose right hand had been ruined, picked up his medical books again. Qiheng, whose legs had been weak, gradually began to stand.
In less than half a month, the whole region had heard the story: the Song family had found a little lucky charm whose words were even more accurate than the sea goddess's oracle.
