Xie Qiao was used to playing dumb. At this moment, she did not explain much.

Since she had nothing to do, Xie Qiao did not forget to carve a memorial tablet for Ms. Cai. She looked around but did not find a suitable piece of wood. The sky was dark, and it would be difficult to find it somewhere too far away. It would be bad if she attracted snakes and insects.

“Wood?” Xie Pinggang slapped his thigh. “Yes! There is one!”

With that, he looked at Sang You.

Sang You almost wanted to vomit blood.

Bandit, bandit, a shameless bandit!

“Why are you looking at Junior Brother Sang?” Xie Qiao was a little confused.

Xiao Yurong and Jiang Jinlu had already understood Xie Pinggang’s intention at this time. They immediately had a deep understanding of this man. They made up their minds secretly. From now on, when they see this Xie family member, they must turn around and leave immediately!

“It’s useless for you to keep this piece of wood. It’s gone. It has to die in a proper way, don’t you think?” Xie Pinggang was quite reasonable.

Sang You gritted his teeth and stood up indifferently. He took the broken zither and stuffed it into Xie Qiao’s arms.

Xie Qiao was shocked. “Isn’t it… Silence? What happened? How did it die so miserably?”

Sang You felt a pain in his heart and did not want to say anything.

“It died to save him. There’s no grievance,” Xie Pinggang said immediately.

He was not wrong!

If someone was at fault, it would be that poisonous spider, right?

Xie Qiao also guessed that Xie Pinggang had something to do with this matter. However, this zither was indeed valuable. It was really a pity that it had become like this.

“Forget about it. Although it’s so bad that it can’t be repaired, it’s still good for Junior Brother to keep it as a memento,” Xie Qiao said.

Hearing this, Sang You did not want to keep it.

“When it was intact, it was a famous zither. Now that it’s broken, it’s just a piece of wood. It’s a good deed for Senior Sister to carve a memorial tablet for this ghoul. It’s not a disgrace to it,” Sang You said helplessly.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a pity to keep it.

He might as well give it away.

Even Xie Qiao felt that Sang You must have been greatly triggered by his decisiveness.

He was a person who pursued perfection in all aspects. Now that he was gritting his teeth and giving away his treasure, it was even rarer than pouring blood rain.

Sang You felt helpless in his heart!

If he did not give it away, Xie Pinggang would probably look at him with even more disdain!

He had mixed feelings at the moment and could not say anything.

Seeing that he decided to let it go, Xie Qiao did not refuse. She took her bamboo basket and put some tools in it. She started a fire while carving the wood. It was easy to make a memorial tablet. Xie Qiao finished it before she went to sleep.

Ms. Cai, who was staring with Meng Jifang’s cross-dressing face, was watching from the side. The more she watched, the more satisfied she became.

From time to time, she would mutter, “This wood is really good.” Every word made Sang You feel as if all the acupoints in his body were throbbing.

This wood… how could it not be good?!

It was cleaned and maintained daily. When it was passed down to him, one could not tell how many years it had been!

…

Late at night, everyone had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The chirping of insects continued in the wild. The sound of the wind blew, and there were also some rustling sounds.

Xie Qiao and Ms. Cai had their own carriage. The others either slept by the carriage or lay by the fire. Now that the weather was warmer, they had enough things, so it was not cold.

However, in the middle of the night, the rustling sound seemed to be getting closer and closer…

Suddenly, many black-clothed people rushed out from the bushes. Without saying anything, they stabbed Zhao Xuanjing!

A cold gleam appeared without any sound. Seeing that the sword gleam was about to pierce his body, Zhao Xuanjing opened his eyes and immediately pulled out his sword with his left hand to block it.
