Chapter 106: To Me, You Are Just You

While Xu Xiang and the five brothers were preparing for their plan, Xiao Shao and his family were currently facing a problem. Standing outside the mule cart, Xiao Han looked at his eldest brother and said, "Elder Brother, we are running out of food and water. What should we do now?"

Xiao Shao looked at the county town not far away, and frowned. Today is the third day since they left the deep ravine. After a long and hard journey, they finally came to the nearest county town. This county town belonged to one of the seven cities that fell during the previous Bei Wei Empire’s attack. Now, this county town is already the territory of the Bei Wei Empire.

He didn’t know how Xu Xiang handled their supplies before. Although they were well fed, there was always plenty of supplies, even if he never saw her buying more on the way. But now without her, after only three days, their remaining food, water and medicine were almost used up. Sometimes, he really couldn’t get rid of his doubts about her identity as the Pavilion Master of the Moon Pavilion.

This morning, everyone was excited when they reached the outskirts of the county town. They thought they could finally replenish their supplies, and they could also get news of the war between the Shang Empire and the Bei Wei Empire. But before they could feel happy for a long time, they remembered that they didn’t even have a single copper coin on them.

Did not get an answer from his elder brother, Xiao Han looked inside the mule cart and asked, "Elder Sister, did you find anything useful?"

Xiao Jing was busy counting the remaining supplies and sorting out the empty wooden boxes when she heard her younger brother’s question. Without raising her head, she said, "Wait a minute. I’m almost done here."

Hearing her answer, Xiao Han waited outside with his elder brother without any expectation. After waiting for a while, Xiao Jing’s exclamation suddenly came from the mule cart.

"Elder Brother! Er Lang! Quickly come and look at this!" She exclaimed excitedly.

Startled by her sudden shout, Xiao Shao and Xiao Han looked into the mule cart, and saw that she took out an exquisite small box from a wooden box at the corner of the mule cart. With a bright smile, she showed them the contents of the exquisite small box. Seeing the things inside the small box, Xiao Shao and Xiao Han were speechless.

Xiao Han pointed at the exquisite small box with trembling fingers, and asked in disbelief: "Elder Sister... where did you get it?"

Xiao Jing pointed to the wooden box in the corner, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Under the firewoods inside that wooden box."

Xiao Jing and Xiao Han stared at each other silently for a moment, only to see their elder brother take out a golden peanut from the exquisite small box. Xiao Shao silently looked at the golden peanut as big as a baby’s fist. After the golden peanut was inspected, he put it back into the small box, and then picked up a palm-sized golden leaf.

’Miss Xu... are you really that person? If you are not the Pavilion Master of the Moon Pavilion, it is impossible for you to obtain these things.’

After a long silence, he chuckled dejectedly and put the golden leaf back into the exquisite small box.

’It doesn’t matter anymore. To me, you are just you. No matter who your real identity was, you are my family’s benefactor. I will remember your kindness to us for the rest of my life. It’s really strange that even after you died, you still accidentally saved us again. It’s a pity that we have already been separated by life and death in this life.’

Xiao Han and Xiao Jing didn’t know what their elder brother was thinking at this time, and looked at each other confusedly. After being silent for a long time, Xiao Shao finally said, "I will go with Er Lang to replenish our supplies today. Jing’er, you must keep the remaining money safely. We will need it in the future."

Seeing his elder brother’s serious face, Xiao Jing instantly knew what he wanted to do. She nodded and said, "Um. Leave it to me, Elder Brother."

Xiao Han stood beside him and asked in a low voice: "Elder Brother, are you going to gather your hidden guards?"

Xiao Shao glanced at him and said, "Mhm. I noticed that several groups of people have been following us these days. With our current situation, I don’t have the confidence to protect our family. Besides, we still have to protect the Fan family before Fan Zhengying wakes up. This is my promise to Old Master Fan, and I must keep my promise no matter what. With this money, it is not a problem to gather the remaining hidden guards."

Xiao Han thought for a while and said, "I understand."

He then glanced at the exquisite small box again, which was filled with golden peanuts, golden leaves and silver ingots. Sighing, he said sadly: "Fortunately, Elder Sister Xu hid this box in the wooden box. If not, I really don’t know what we should do."

As soon as Xiao Han said this, the three siblings fell into silence. Before long, he whispered, "Too bad... She would never come back anymore."

Xiao Jing looked at her younger brother’s sad face and clenched her hands. She knew that if it wasn’t for her, Xu Xiang would not have lost her life. She is really grateful to Xu Xiang, but also blames herself. If it wasn’t for her weakness, Xu Xiang wouldn’t need to sacrifice herself at all.

Seeing that she was still blaming herself, Xiao Shao said, "Stop talking nonsense. Jing’er, remember what I just said."

After speaking, he picked up some silver ingots, walked to the sleigh, and said, "Er Lang, let’s go."

Sitting in the mule cart, Xiao Jing watched her elder brother’s straight back until they left. Looking up at the blue sky, she thought: ’Miss Xu, if only you were still here.’
