The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Thinking of this possibility, she felt a little unsure: "Did I do something wrong?"

Xu Yi frowned and didn't answer her. Instead, he sat up with great effort, thinking for a moment. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and looked up at Qiao Xi: "How long have they been walking? Do they have any carriages?"

Hearing his question, Qiao Xi tilted her head to reflect on the scene, then shook her head. "There's no carriage. The fire's still burning. They've been walking for about two quarters of an hour."

A quarter of an hour? No carriages.

Xu Yi thought that it was not impossible for him to enter Lingxiao City before them.

"Did the Nie family see you?"

Thinking of Qi Chunjiang's eyes, Qiao Qian nodded.

"you sure?"

This is very important, Xu Yi confirmed it with her again.

"Confirmed. It was the Nie family's housekeeper, Qi Chunjiang, who saw it."

Seeing his serious expression, Qiao Xi now realized her previous thought. It seemed that she had really ruined his plan unintentionally.

She felt very sorry when she thought that Xu Yi came here with such a serious injury but was messed up by her.

He looked at Xu Yi with eyes full of apology.

Xu Yi was such a smart man that he could see through her self-blame and guilt at a glance. However, time was of the essence and he had to find a way to remedy the situation. He didn't have much time to comfort her and simply said, "I don't blame you. You were trying to save me."

As he said this, he tried to struggle to get up.

Seeing this, Qiao Xi hurriedly helped him up and asked in confusion: "What are you going to do? The wound on your body has festered, you can't do anything stupid anymore. If there is anything that must be done, leave it to me and I will help you!"

Xu Yi walked to the cave entrance and looked out, waving at her. "I can't worry about that anymore. Once the Nie family returns to Lingxiao City and destroys the evidence, it will be too late."

Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Qiao Xi said anxiously, "But your injury—"

"It's okay, I can't die."

Xu Yi interrupted her and was about to walk out of the cave.

"Wait a moment!"

Xu Yi turned his head and saw her taking out a water bag and handing it to him.

He shook his head and refused: "I'm not thirsty, and I probably won't have time to drink water on the way."

But instead of taking the water bag back, Qiao Xi stuffed it into his hand and said, "I didn't ask you to drink it on the way. I asked you to drink it now. I don't have any food with me. You can drink some water to replenish your energy. This way you will have the strength to walk faster."

Hearing this, Xu Yi thought that he had not eaten anything since morning, so he did not refuse. He picked up the water bag and gulped down most of the water in it before returning it to Qiao Xi.

"I'm leaving, but I still have something to trouble you, sister-in-law."

Hearing that she could help him, Qiao Xi nodded happily: "You tell me, I will try my best to do it."

She will definitely seize this opportunity to redeem herself.

"After the fire is out, please go to the Nie family camp to see if they have missed anything, if it has not been burned by the fire."

"Okay!" Qiao Xi agreed immediately. "Don't worry, I'll search the place thoroughly."

Xu Yi nodded, said nothing more, turned around and walked out without any hesitation.

Looking at the blood-stained clothes on his back, I couldn't help but feel fortunate that I used space water to clean his wound. Otherwise, by tonight, he would definitely have a high fever due to the wound infection.

In such a world, once a wound becomes infected, it may not only cause a high fever but also other complications, and even gods may not be able to save it.

I hope the space water will work on him.

Since he was busy trying to collect evidence of the Nie family's crimes, she couldn't sit idle either.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi hurried out of the cave to check the fire. At the same time, she clasped her hands together and apologized to the sky: God, I had no choice but to set the fire. Don't worry, after the fire is over, I will use space water to irrigate this land, hoping to help this land recover its former vitality as soon as possible.

Although she didn't know whether this spatial water had any effect on creatures other than humans.

Seeing that the fire was almost out, Qiao Xi found a place to stay and slowly moved towards the Nie family's camp.

In order to find something more easily, she picked up a long branch from the ground and dug under the ashes.

The fire came and went quickly, and burned cleanly.

She searched for nearly an hour but found nothing.

Beating her aching waist with her hands and looking at the bright sun above her head, Qiao Xi felt a little thirsty, so she took out her water bag to drink some water.

As she lowered her head, a bright light suddenly flashed before her eyes!

Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment, not even bothering to drink the water, and happily walked towards the light.

When she pushed aside the sparks that had not yet completely extinguished around the "light", the true face of the "light" appeared before her eyes.

It was the silver that fell out of the backpack before.

Qiao Xi recalled that when she and her teacher were researching the materials for the shuttle, they had looked up and tested the melting points of many metals and knew that the melting point of silver was about 900 degrees, while the temperature of surface fire was more than 400 degrees, so the silver was safe and sound in this fire.

But she knew that the silver must be hot at the moment, so she did not rush to pick it up with her hands. Instead, she entered the space, filled the water bag, then left the space, dragged the silver to a clean open space, and poured water on it.

Then she heard a "sizzling" sound, which was the sound of water encountering high temperature.

It was not until she poured two water bags of water that the silver became silent.

When she felt it was ok, Qiao Xi reached out to take it, but she still covered her hand with her sleeve to prevent any accidents.

Looking carefully at the silver ingot-shaped coin in her hand, Qiao Xi didn't find anything unusual.

So she raised the silver a little higher, hoping to discover something in the sunlight.

I looked left and right, but still didn't find anything. I was tired of raising my hand, so I thought about changing hands.

Now that she could no longer feel the silver's heat, she no longer needed to wrap her hands with her sleeves.

As soon as the silver reached her other hand, the feel of Qiao Xi's palm told her that there was indeed something strange about the silver.

With surprise in her eyes, she turned the bottom of the silver upwards, and sure enough, she found the clue.

Who would have thought that there were words printed on the bottom of this silver.

There was only one word "Nie" printed on it.

Generally, silver was issued by the imperial court, and the words printed on it were naturally related to the name of the current dynasty.

The name of the current monarch's country is "Tianshun", so the silver must either have the word "Tianshun" or the three words "Baidi City" on it, and it will definitely not have the word "Nie".

Qiao Xi weighed the silver in her hand, and the corners of her mouth curled up, thinking that she had not let Xu Yi down.

This alone is enough to make the higher-ups investigate the Nie family thoroughly.

She had made some great progress, and Xu Yi had also made some progress.

……

In order to get ahead of the Nie family, he endured the injuries on his body and took the small path.

The trail is extremely difficult to walk on, but fortunately it is much closer than the main road.

When he arrived at the gate of Lingxiao City, he did not see any members of the Nie family.

He didn't dare to waste time and quickly entered the city, heading straight for a small post station in Lingxiao City.

This post station is very inconspicuous, so not many people noticed that it was a little different from the past.

"what is your job?"

Suddenly someone blocked Xu Yi's way.

When Xu Yi saw this person, he was not panicked, but relieved. He looked at the person and said quickly, "Please tell the adults that if they want evidence of the Nie family's crimes, they should go to the gate of Lingxiao City immediately."

After saying this, he turned and left without waiting for the man to react.
