“Where should we start?” Yán asked

“You could help by raking all the leaves of our farms.” Answered the strangers mother

“Yes ma’am!” Xián said itching to start.

Xián Raked almost all the leaves in 10 minutes and the others did the rest “ma’am were finished”

Xián exclaimed.

“Can call me gran gran” said the strangers mother

“Yes- gr- GRAN GRAN!.” Xián shouted.

The next day when they woke up xián rushed to ask gran gran what to do “ you can make breakfast xián.” Gran gran said “ and yán and qiāo can plant some wheat”

“Yes ma’am” xián announced “ i- i mean gran gran.”

Xián kept asking what to do each morning until the week was over, and they finally said there goodbyes. The three kids sailed away in the boat that gran gran gave them.

While they were sailing they talked and talked about there families and how they would be missing them, after all they were only 14.

Back on china in the city of xiamen there parents were talking and saying how much they miss there children but yán’s mother was angry that they took her boat and haven’t returned.

She kept going on about they will all starve because they cant fish or sell the fish they catch but when xián’s father said that they own a boat she had an idea.

She said that we will search with them making sure they are safe and dont get in harm’s way. But she didn’t tell them what she actually wanted to do.

She had a conversation with her husband beforehand and said they wanted to get rid of yán and here friends.

There reasoning was flawed but they heard the a conversation about people buying dead children for millions of kin.

They would do anything to leave there country and live in The UK but they couldn’t afford a visa and this was the only way.

“My mother used to say she wanted to go to the UK but they never had enough kin to go.” Yán explained “but there fishing business was doing well wasn’t it”

“Well apparently not.” Exclaimed yán.

Little did the trio know that there food source was running low “ hey yán could yiu pass me some food?” Asked xián

“Yeah sur-.” Yán said as she realised that there bag of food was empty.

“do any of you know how to fish?” Yán Cowardly asked

“No why.” Both xián and qiāo said in unison

“Then we’re screwed.” Yán replied

“We have to food.” Yán stated “ we’re going to have to stop again, and teach you guys to fish,”

The other two just Stared at yán and then began to freak out.

After another 10 hours with no food they made it to the philippines “WHHHAAAT!” Shouted xián “ we’re just going backwards now.”

“This is the closest, we had to go back.” Qiāo said.

As they pulled up to shore they noticed a massive boat again “Mabey its the Travellers.” Qiāo said excitedly.
