My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire! - Chapter 14

Gu Xin was very fast. She arrived at the small pond.

It was actually a waterfall. A pond had formed below it. On hot days, children from the surrounding villages liked to come here to play. This year, a child from the neighboring village had drowned.

Gu Xin mustered her courage and walked to the pond. “Little fish, I’ve sent you back. You must remember to hide well in the future. Don’t get caught.”

With that, she poured the fish in the basin into the water.

The fish swam happily in the water and jumped up.

“Gu Xin, this is a gift for you.”

Gu Xin saw the most amazing thing in her life.

The little fish swam in the water for a while and jumped up. It spat something at her, and she subconsciously caught it.

Then she heard the voice of a little baby.

Then, she saw the little fish dash toward the waterfall, jump, and disappear.

Gu Xin looked at the thing in her hand in a daze.

It was a very beautiful and clear jade stone. It looked exactly like the little fish, but it was very small, not as big as her small palm.

……

“Aiya!”

Gu Xin came back to her senses and was so scared that she wanted to throw the jade pendant away.

An even more amazing scene happened. The jade stone suddenly disappeared.

“Eh? Where did it go? Where did it go?”

Gu Xin panicked and looked down with her hands spread out.

Then the jade stone appeared in her palm.

Gu Xin felt that she couldn’t think straight anymore.

“Gu Xin, this is my gift to you. Thank you for saving me and giving me time to jump through the Dragon Gate. Take it. It will appear in your palm when you want her. After I jump through the Dragon Gate, I will go find my father, the Dragon King. Remember, don’t show the gift to others. Goodbye, Gu Xin!”

At this moment, the voice of the little fish came from the waterfall again.

Gu Xin didn’t panic anymore.

She had heard the mythical story of a carp jumping through the Dragon Gate. Her grandfather told it to her.

Her grandfather knew many interesting stories. He had told her that dragons gave birth to nine sons, and they were all different.

He had also told her that after a certain period of time, a small snake would turn into a python, then a boa, and then what? It seemed that after two more stages, it would turn into a dragon.

Fortunately, she had the story that her grandfather had told her to pave the way. Otherwise, she would have been scared to death today.

In the hearts of the people of Great Zhou, there was a dragon in the world, but it was a very magical existence. It was the same as God and the gods in the sky.

Therefore, this was a gift from the gods, so she was not afraid.

After Gu Xin figured it out, she thanked the waterfall. “Thank you, little fish!”

However, there was no response.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Gu Xin left. She returned to where she had been and carried the small backpack down the mountain.

She tried a few times along the way. As long as she thought about it, the jade stone would appear, and if she didn’t, it would disappear in her palm.

“Xin Xin?”

When she passed by the old house, Gu Xin was about to greet her grandparents and ask her father if he had returned. However, she met Gu Shouxin who came out of the house.

Gu Shouxin was expressionless at first, but when he saw that the backpack on Gu Xin’s back had reached the bend of her feet, he couldn’t help but frown.

“Dad, I was just about to call you! I carried a big load of firewood today! I even…”

She wanted to say that she had saved a little fish, but she stopped herself in time. The little fish told her not to tell anyone.

This was the little fish’s thing. Although it had given it to her, she couldn’t tell anyone about it.
