Chapter 13
Ye Lingxi looked down at the contents of the small box carefully.

Most of them are some gold, silver and jade objects, including her mother's relics, and some gadgets that she has worn since she was a child. Not to mention how valuable they are, but as Mama Li said, these things are special to the original owner. significance.

A box can't hold many things, and when it reached the bottom of the box, Ye Lingxi's pupils shrank suddenly.

A dagger lay quietly in a corner of the box. The scabbard was inlaid with various precious gemstones, and a pattern of the word "Xi" could be faintly seen on the handle.

The moment Ye Lingxi saw the dagger, Ye Lingxi's heart tightened suddenly, a sore and painful feeling spread in his chest uncontrollably, it was the original owner's own emotion.

That dagger was a 13th birthday gift from the original owner's fiancé. Originally, she was going to be his wife when she was 14 years old, but because of that accident... Now, things have changed.

Ye Lingxi resisted the feeling that she couldn't control her emotions. She picked up the dagger and looked at it carefully. She casually asked Mother Li, "Ji Linyuan hasn't looked for me since then, right?"

"Yes, when the marriage was divorced back then, it was Qin Guogong and his wife who came to mention it. Ji Shizi...has never appeared."

"Heh, I grew up with my childhood sweetheart anyway, and I'm really good at doing things." Ye Lingxi snorted sarcastically, and pulled out the dagger with a little force.

It's a good knife, once it's out of the sheath, it gives off a cold light, the blade is as thin as a cicada's wing, so sharp that people dare not reach out and touch it easily.

Ye Lingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, pulled a piece of hair and put it on the blade. After blowing lightly, the hair broke into two pieces and fluttered to the ground.

Seeing that the scabbard is so gorgeously made, she thought it was a useless object, but she didn't expect it to be a sharp knife that blows hair and cuts hair.

"This dagger is very useful. I will keep it for self-defense. As for the scabbard." Ye Lingxi glanced at the scabbard and handed the scabbard to Mama Li, "You can bring this scabbard to the city tomorrow. Go sell it and exchange it for some silver."

Mother Li looked at her in surprise, "Sold?"

"Miss, in order to make this dagger, it took Ji Shizi a whole year to find a skilled craftsman..."

"Even if I keep it, can my relationship with Ji Linyuan go back to the past?"

Ye Lingxi blocked all the rest of Li's mother's words with one sentence, "The engagement has been broken, and it would be inappropriate to keep such an eye-catching thing. You should sell it."

"Seeing that Xiaobao is so skinny now that he doesn't have a lot of meat, you can buy him some delicious food to nourish his body. Besides, it's a long way back to Qiongdu Mountain from here, and we need to make some money."

Ye Lingxi had already talked to this point, and Mother Li couldn't persuade her any more.Ye Lingxi picked out a few pieces of the original owner's own jewelry from the box and handed them to Mama Li for her to sell together tomorrow.

Here she had just put her things back and closed the box, when she heard the sound of messy footsteps coming from far and near outside, and a woman's voice shouting, "Hey, sister, Liu's sister, I'm coming to your house soon , you can hold on!"

Little Treasure who was lying on the bed curiously wanted to poke his head out to have a look. Mama Li and Ye Lingxi looked at each other. Ye Lingxi returned the box to Mama Li for her to keep. She then got up and walked towards the door, " I'll go see what's going on."

When Ye Lingxi walked out of the courtyard, the other two women had just helped Liu Yong's wife to the gate of Liu's house.

Those two had seen Ye Lingxi and the Zhang family's toughness before, and when they saw her approaching, they just smiled at her awkwardly as a greeting, and didn't dare to say anything.

It was Ye Lingxi who saw that Liu Yong's daughter-in-law who was being supported by them was not in the right condition, and took the initiative to help the two women help Liu Yong's daughter-in-law into the bedroom.

Liu Yong's daughter-in-law was leaning against the head of the bed and leaning there stiffly, as if her soul had been knocked out, and there was no vitality in her eyes.

Ye Lingxi reached out and clasped her wrist to check her pulse, but she didn't find anything abnormal in her body, so she turned to look at the two women next to her and asked, "What's wrong with Mrs. Liu?"

"Something happened to Liu Yong." One of the women walked to Ye Lingxi's side and said in a low voice, "Just now the village chief called everyone to his house, saying that something happened when he went up the mountain this time. His whereabouts are still unknown, and one of them is Liu Yong!"

"Did you encounter some kind of beast?" Ye Lingxi subconsciously thought about it when she heard Li's mother say that they went hunting in the mountains.

The woman shook her head, "No, Zhang Hong said, they found a particularly valuable medicinal herb on a cliff, and it happened when they went to collect the medicinal herbs."

"What is that herb called snow, or what is it called frost..." The woman didn't remember the name of the herb for a while.

It was Ye Lingxi who suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up slightly, "Could it be that you found the Frostgrass?"
