Chapter 653: Her old ginger.

The short journey back was filled with silence, both husband and wife quietly mulled over the unnecessarily treacherous journey that had led them down this path.

Chi Lian thought about the one soldier who T4 had just told her was dead. Back at the shores, it did not appear as if the soldiers had been grieving one of their own nor had it been shared with the rest of them. If T4 did not tell her, she never would have known either. The death of the soldier reminded her of just how fragile life was.

She turned her heavy eyes towards her husband for a few seconds before turning away to avoid his sharp detection, which would be followed up by questioning and deduction.

"T4, find out if the dead soldier had a family and set aside a small financial compensation for them. They will never the truth about he died, but they should at least be able to live comfortably for the rest of their lives."

"Yes host."

She looked ahead at the calm waters of the sea in which sea life was very normal. Nothing had disturbed the little fish, the turtles and everything that lived down under. Not the sound of bullets, the explosion and the helicopters had created a disturbance here. All the sea creatures cared about was foraging for food.

"Your pinky finger is in your mouth which tells me that something is bothering you."

Muyang’s voice interfered in her travelling thoughts and it brought her back to the present. She took the telling pinky finger out of her mouth.

"I am just wondering if the danger is really over." she told him.

She looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"

"I______," he grabbed her left hand and placed it against his cheeks, one side after the other.

"You what?" she asked him.

"I am just glad that we have all come out alive. For a while there, I didn’t know how things would go." he said.

"Not everyone." T4 said in response to Muyang’s words that they had all come out alive.

"Wife, forget everything that has happened in the past week, everything up to when we left that island. Forget it all and cleanse your mind." he added.

"I will, with time." she assured him. "We have at least made the empire safer for our children. I will always take great pride in that fact. But some of those men and women, they have families that are searching for them to date. Not all of them happen to be orphans with no one. Some of the families have been coming to the station regularly to ask us for updates. They usually bring by small drinks, yoghurt, fruits and the like to meet the producer and express their gratitude towards us for continuing to air the stories of their loved ones. We have been searching for them for a year now and even though I finally have answers I cannot tell them the truth of where their loved ones are. They will live in hopeless infinite pain and wonder for the rest of their lives, paying something that was not their fault, it’s not fair Muyang, it’s not right."

He looked at her and wondered how he could ease her heavy heart. With the exception of words, and hugs he had no idea what else he could do.

"They are alive, you fought for them to live. They might not be able to see their families again but they get to live and raise their children. You saw most of the women, they were holding on tightly to their children which tells us that no matter the circumstances under which the children were born, they women love them and are willing to do anything to protect them."

"Which mother would not protect a piece of flesh that fell from her own stomach?" She could easily use herself as a perfect example because she had much love for her own children and she would go to war for them.

"Those families which are searching for their loved ones that you have found, find the ones that have no other children and see if they are willing to move to Pindanshan town. I believe that many will do so, however those that have other children and close extended family,___" he shook his head, "It might be impossible for them to give up everything and relocate."

She suddenly lit up and lightly slapped her forehead, "How did I not think of that?" Then, she looked at him and smiled naughtily. "It’s true what they say, aged ginger is spicier."

Muyang opened his mouth once, closed it and opened it again before laughing and shaking his head in disbelief. "Wife, did you just call me old?"

"No way honey I just complimented you for being so wise." she told him.

He observed the laughter in her eyes and pinched her cheek gently. "You are becoming naughtier as time goes on my dear."

She laughed and slapped his hand.

They soon came to the submarine, it’s glowing lights in the water welcomed them. It was not home, but it was as close to home at the moment.

After the submersibles docked on the submarine and they entered inside, she went in search of the children.

The children must have been informed by the old master that their parents were back. She could see them on the virtual screen running toward the direction she was coming from.

They were accompanied by her parents, the old master and her brothers and both sisters-in-law.

"Mummy, daddy, mummy, mummy." They screamed at the tops of their lungs.

She increased her pace, reaching them before Muyang did and she scooped them up, pulling them into a big embrace.

"Babies, my babies." she took turns kissing them all over the face. Her head was moving from one to the other, and she deeply sniffed them.

"Auntie," Rose launched herself into her arms as well, and the girl actually sniveled, sounding as if she was about to cry.

Chi Lian had only two hands and she could not hug all three children at the same time, so she comforted Rose with her arms.

"Everything is okay." she told the children. "I have missed you all so much my angels."

Mei-Mei moved her head around like a little lizard, "Uncles," she shouted.

Ringo took her, and the triplets took turns embracing the adorable little girl.

Muyang had finished handing over the half human-half robot man to Meili. He came and took his daughter from his brothers.

He also took little monk from Chi Lian and embraced his son while her brothers took advantage of the opportunity to hug her before their parents could. It was a warm welcome on the submarine for them.
