When Xia Yi returned home, it was already very late.
The moon seemed to be just overhead, big and round.
The interior of the house was brightly lit. The light shone through the dilapidated window, illuminating the area outside with a golden color.
Xia Yi pushed open the door, and Jin Tao and Xia Yue appeared together.
Xia Yue looked at the empty space behind Xia Yi, and asked: "Big sister, you didn't get your little brother back?"
Jin Tao immediately said: "Sorry, Sister Xia Yi, I couldn't hide it from Xia Yue."
Xia Yi let out a light sigh, and said: "It's not your fault."
The window was already broken, it would not be easy to hide it from Xia Yue.
After running for an entire day, Xia Yi was completely exhausted, but she did not dare to relax at all. She knelt down and hugged Xia Yue, and said in a low voice: "Big sister will definitely bring Yang back."
Xia Yue also tightly held onto what Xia Yi wanted, and nodded strongly, "Mn, Yang will definitely return."
At this moment, Xia Changsheng's voice suddenly came from behind, "Can't find Yang?"
Xia Yi turned around and saw Xia Changsheng standing at the entrance of the courtyard with a few wooden sticks in his arms.
He had come to fix their windows.
Originally, Xia Yi and Xia Changsheng had agreed that they would send some rotten milk to the Lingshan Town today. However, Xia Changsheng had waited at the Lingshan Town for an entire day and still hadn't seen any trace of Xia Yi.
Xia Changsheng came back specially to see what was going on.
However, he didn't expect to come back and ask and something really happened.
Xia Yi shook her head.
Xia Changsheng immediately said: "I will go with you to look for it tomorrow."
He also knew that the longer he dragged things out, the less guarantee he had of Xia Yang's safety.
"No need, I'll go alone tomorrow." Xia Yi said.
Xia Changsheng was surprised for a moment, and asked: "Do you know where Xia Yang is? If a girl like you were to go over, would you be able to save his? "
Xia Yi explained everything that happened during the day in a simple manner.
Xia Changsheng was silent for a long while, then asked: "So you're the only one who can save them? But where did you get a hundred silver? "
"No matter what, I have to see Yang first before deciding anything. As long as Yang is safe, everything will be fine." Xia Yi said.
"You better not." Xia Changsheng saw a flash of light across Xia Yi's eyes, and for some reason, he felt a bit scared. He knew that Xia Yi had decided to go by himself, and must have held some sort of determination.
"Yes." Xia Yi only nodded. She looked at the few people still standing at the door and said: "Let's go. We'll talk inside."
That night, Xia Yi did not sleep well. She lay on the bed, completely awake.
In the silence of the night, the sounds outside the window were amplified, the crickets screeched and screeched, never stopping for the rest of the night.
Xia Yue was tossing and turning at her side, as though she was not able to sleep soundly either.
"Yang..." Xia Yue whispered something in his dreams, as if he was calling Xia Yang's name.
Xia Yi turned her body around, and hugged Xia Yue into her embrace, as she gently patted her back. Only then did Xia Yue slowly relax, and fell into a deep sleep.
Before dawn, Xia Yi woke up.
She took out a whetstone and began to sharpen her knife.
Xia Yi specially selected an exquisite small dagger, hiding it within her sleeves, not showing it at all.
"Sister Xia Yi, you …" Jin Tao was sleeping soundly, so when she heard a sound coming from outside, he went out to take a look, only to see Xia Yi seriously sharpening her blade with her head lowered.
That posture was a bit scary.
Xia Yi stopped and looked up at Jin Tao, "You're awake too?"
She held the dagger up and faced the moonlight. She gently held the edge of the dagger with her hand, as if testing if the dagger was sharp enough.
Under the moonlight, the dagger gave off a chilling glow.
"Sister Xia Yi, can you really do it by yourself?" Jin Tao asked carefully, she was truly worried for Xia Yi's safety, "How about, I will go with you, I am also a woman, the other party should not be suspicious of me."
"No need, help me take care of Yue Yue."
The more people there were, the less convenient it would be to escape.
Xia Yi had long since arrived at the mountain temple outside of the town, holding the same bag as yesterday.
Hearing the sobbing sounds coming from outside the mountain temple, Xia Yi immediately ran out.
She saw a tall and thin man carrying Xia Yang. Xia Yang's eyes were filled with tears, his voice had become hoarse, and he was only howling dryly without tears.
Xia Yi's heart tightened when she saw this, and her heart ached uncontrollably.
She had never let Xia Yang cry like this before.
That tall thin man looked very familiar. If Xia Yi remembered correctly, he was Bao Xiangchang who stole the Master Hong's recipe a while ago.
After not seeing Bao Xiangchang for a while, Bao Xiangchang seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
He glanced at the bag in Xia Yi's hand, and said while chuckling: "Innkeeper, do you still remember me?"
"Bao Xiangchang, why is it you?" Xia Yi asked as she furrowed her brows. She had only heard that Bao Xiangchang had been chased out of the Tianwei Shop after the matter regarding the menu, and had not seen him again since.
Bao Xiangchang stopped smiling and asked: "What else? It's all because of you! I am no longer needed by all the restaurants in the entire Lingshan Town, I will no longer be a chef in the future. "
Xia Yi frowned, how could it be because of sher? If it wasn't for Bao Xiangchang who was full of joy, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
It was just that she didn't say that much to Bao Xiangchang now.
Xia Yang was still in Bao Xiangchang's hands, how could she dare to anger Bao Xiangchang?
Xia Yi raised the bag in her hands and said to Bao Xiangchang: "I've already brought the thing that you wanted. You can let my brother go now."
"Is that so? You collected one hundred silver so quickly? " Bao Xiangchang's eyes moved from the bag to Xia Yi's face.
Xia Yi had an indifferent expression, he did not seem to be flustered at all on Xia Yi's face.
She held the bag in one hand and opened it in the other. She casually grabbed some silver in the bag and when she opened it, Bao Xiangchang saw a lot of silver lying in Xia Yi's hands.
"If you're in a hurry, I can only directly take it from the Ruyi Manor, so most of it is broken silver." Xia Yi explained.
Seeing the pieces of silver in Xia Yi's eyes, Bao Xiangchang's eyes lit up, "I never thought that you would actually be able to gather a hundred silver taels, I have really underestimated you. Don't play any tricks on me, or don't blame me for being impolite. "
Xia Yi said: "I am only a weak girl, coming here alone, how could I dare to play any tricks on you?"
"True." Bao Xiangchang nodded his head, and then said fiercely to Xia Yi: "Place the silver at the entrance of the mountain temple."
"Put my brother down first." Xia Yi said.
Bao Xiangchang looked around, and since he felt that Xia Yi was not much of a threat to him, he placed Xia Yang on the ground.
Xia Yi immediately threw down the bag in her hands and quickly ran towards Xia Yang.
Bao Xiangchang could not care less about Xia Yi and her, as she quickly walked towards the bag of money.
