Early in the morning, the endless pier of the East China Sea.

Rows of tall cargo ships are docked here, every morning, the big dock is always crowded with people, passing ships, chambers of commerce are here to complete the unloading and loading, and then the cargo ships begin to sail to the entire Tianxing continent.

In a remote corner only 500 meters away from the main pier, there was a simple pier made entirely of wooden planks, and on the small pier, which was only five meters long, there were only a few cable posts used to tie up the ships.

A group of fishermen untie their small fishing boats from the cable posts and then jump onto their fishing boats in preparation for today's fishing trip.

"Hey, there's something there!" The middle-aged fisherman who was the first to row the fishing boat out saw that there seemed to be a round object colliding with the wooden stakes below the wooden planks of the small pier, and rowed the fishing boat over. When he got closer, he realized that a round wooden basin was stuck here, so he reached out and pulled the wooden basin out.

"How can there be a baby?" Because of the long time he has been out of the sea to fish, the fishermen are all dark, and only the teeth that show when they speak are white.

When he pulled the tub closer, he found that there was a chubby baby in the tub, and his fleshy little face was slowly shaking, as if he was a little dissatisfied. After discovering that a figure appeared in front of him, his pale blue eyes first stared at it, and then suddenly urinated out, and a small jet of water went directly to the swarthy fisherman.

"Hey, why are you still peeing?" the fisherman complained as he wiped the urine off his face.

"Hahaha! Isn't it very good, this is the purest boy pee, it suits you very well, hahaha!" Several other fishing boats that were approaching couldn't help but let out hearty laughter when they saw the fishermen who were urinated on their faces.

As the fishing boat approached, the baby was surrounded.

"I don't know whose family it is, I really shouldn't have lost my child so carelessly. ”

"I don't think the illegitimate child of any family is afraid to ask for it, so he leaves the poor baby here. The other immediately retorted, and then expressed his own conjecture.

"I think it's pretty much the same, look at this baby. At this time, there was a person next to him, and said, "I don't even have a piece of clothing, if I catch a cold or something, I guess I won't die." ”

So saying, he took off his clothes and put them on the baby's body.

"What about this kid now? We can't hold it like this all the time!"

"I see, find him a good man and send him there, and the widow's house in the town is good. ”

"Haha, I'll just say you've taken a fancy to Widow Cora, and you've never admitted it. ”

"Hahaha!"

The crowd also laughed at the fisherman who made this suggestion, but his proposal was also a solution.

"Uncle John, aren't you living alone? Why don't you keep it first, and be a companion. Suddenly, one of the fishermen said to the old man who had been beside him without speaking.

"That's right!"

"Yes!"

Everyone also agreed to this proposal one after another, and then looked at the old man next to him.

The old man's body was patched clothes, although they were a little shabby, but they were the cleanest, and they didn't want other people's clothes, all of which exuded a smell of sweat. Some gray hair and wrinkles on his face tell us that he is not young, but his eyes are still very bright, not at all like an old man of this age.

"I'll see if I can find his family first, what's the use of following me, an old man. If it doesn't work, I'll keep it again, the little guy will provoke whoever he wants, and it's pitiful to look at. The old man took the baby from the swarthy fisherman, removed the sweaty garment, and covered the baby with patches on his own.

"What's wrong with my clothes? Isn't it good?"

"Forget it, your clothes can stink ten miles in the wind, it's okay!"

"Hahaha!" the crowd burst out laughing again.

"Uncle John, I can't see it! You see, this kid doesn't even have anything on him, you just want to find a family for him, and you don't know what to do. ”

"Yes, Uncle John, I think you should raise it first, your family has been gone for so many years, and it is just right to be a companion. The person who made this suggestion before said again.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow........" Suddenly, the baby looked at John's slightly old smile and cried.

"Oh, oh, I'll get you something to eat. When John heard the child's cry, he also hurriedly said to the child.

"You go to sea today, I won't go, I'll find food for the children." John said as he handed over the fishing boat to the others, and went ashore and headed for the town.

"All right, Uncle John. The other fishermen said to him, and then went out to fish.

John searched the town for a long time, but still did not find anything suitable for the child, looking at the baby who had been crying, John turned his old face and walked towards the house of the widow of Cora in the town.

"Knock knock", John knocked on the door of Widow Cora's house a few times.

"Who?" said the door with the sound of strong footsteps, revealing the face of Widow Corah.

"Old John, what's wrong with you?" said with a round face as she looked at John, and then stepped out of the door, revealing her massive size.

"Cora, I want to ask, is there anything for a baby? John was a little embarrassed, but asked anyway, and then showed her the baby in his hand.

"Pick it up, poor baby!oh oh!" said Cora as she took the baby from John's hand.

The child gradually stopped crying and fell asleep under the shaking of Cora.

Cora took the baby into John's hand and said to him, "Isn't there a farm not far from your house to the north? ”

John hurriedly took the child, and then seemed to have some difficulty speaking, and said, "Cora, do you think you want to adopt this child?"

"Old John, I don't have the time to raise children anymore, the few in my family are enough for me. Korra eventually rejected John's request.

John had no choice but to take the child to the farm, and after agreeing with the owner, John exchanged the fish or copper coins he caught for milk every day.

John put the bottle of milk in his hand into the baby's hand, watched the child snort the milk, and whispered, "It seems that you will have to follow me in the future! Then I will have to name you, I want to think about it!"

John thought for a while, but he didn't think about it yet, and when he finally saw the word "Xiao" next to the farm, he turned to the baby and said, "You picked it up on the shore, and you are grateful to the gods for their care and allowing you to be found." You've got milk here to save you from starvation, so you're called Sean! My last name is Bruce, so you're called Sean Bruce, okay?"

The baby ate the milk from his mouth, and his pale blue eyes kept looking at John, and the two looked at each other, and John happily lifted him up and returned to their home.

"Grandpa, grandpa, look, I picked up a small box over here. A slightly immature voice came from afar. A small, slightly thin figure, holding a small box in his hand, ran quickly to the front.

And in front of him, an old man with white hair and simple clothes, looking at the little figure running by the sea, stood there and gasped, and said, "Little Sean!

When the little figure heard this, he immediately stopped and began to run towards the old man. After the figure ran closer, he found that it was a little boy who was only one meter tall, the little boy looked only five or six years old, with black broken hair, and when his green face raised his head, his pale blue eyes were revealed, it was the baby before, and the old man was John, who adopted him, and the time had been six years.

At this time, Sean was holding the small box he had shouted out in his hand.

"Grandpa, won't you be able to catch up with me when I run back!" The young Sean stood in front of the old man, looked at him innocently, and then raised the small box in his hand high, and said, "Grandpa, look, this is the box I picked up in front." ”

John took the box and found it to be a wooden box the size of a palm, with a strange eye carved on the front of the box, and some markings around the eyes, which extended a little along the box to the bottom, as if to wrap the whole box. John tried to open it, but he couldn't break it, thinking that it might be something that someone didn't want, so he threw it on the beach. So he returned it to Sean and said, "Then this box belongs to you." ”

"Yes, this box is the treasure I found by the sea today!" shouted Sean, and ran to a large tree beside him.

At this time, there was a small cloth bag under the big tree, and in the cloth bag were placed broken shells, delicate conch, pebbles of different sizes, etc., Sean put the kid in his hand into it, tied the pocket, and ran to his grandfather again.

"Grandpa, how long can we play here today?" Sean ran up to Grandpa, holding his big hand with his small hand.

"Today is the first day that little Sean is well, and you can play as long as you want. John touched Sean's broken hair and said with a smile on his face.

"yes! That's great! I'm going to spend the whole day here today, and I'm going to find a lot of treasures. Sean jumped up excitedly, hugged John hard, and went on his own treasure hunt.

John happily watched Sean play there, and nervously reminded him from time to time to keep him safe.

I can't help but think that it has been six years since I met Sean, and during these years, Sean's health has always been very good. But for some reason, in the last two weeks, I had a serious illness, and I found many doctors to come to check, but there was no way.

Until the last doctor told John that children of six years on the entire continent would be sick at this time, but there would be no danger, and that time would pass.

John waited like this for two weeks, and just when he was about to lose it, Sean finally woke up, and after examination, he found that there was indeed no effect, so he was relieved.
