As for how it was exchanged, there was no need for Xiao Ying to know.

Xiao Ying’s attention was all on the amulet and didn’t care what Cheng Yang said.

She flipped the amulet in her hand as she looked at it. In fact, she did not know much about this amulet. In her previous life, she had never seen it before. In this life, she had only seen what looked like a ball of light in her mind. This was the first time she had seen the amulet physically.

The amulet looked like an ordinary amulet. The red cotton cloth was made into a hexagonal shape with the word ‘Fortune’ embroidered on it with golden threads. It was only the size of a palm.

Xiao Ying held the amulet but felt nothing. Ever since the amulet lost contact with her, she had felt that something was missing.

With the amulet in her hand, she ignored Cheng Yang and returned to her room.

Cheng Yang sighed and returned to his room after eating alone. He saw Xiao Ying roasting the amulet on the fire and asked in surprise, “What are you doing?”

Xiao Ying held the candle in one hand and the amulet in the other. She said, “I couldn’t wake Zihao up no matter what. I just wanted to try the fire, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it.”

Cheng Yang said helplessly, “If you do, this amulet will be gone.”

Xiao Ying also knew that she had done something foolish. She extinguished the candle and put it aside. She sat by the bed gloomily and said in distress, “Brother, what should I do?”

Cheng Yang knew very well that this amulet was only her guess and could not prove that Qiao Zihao could still live. But Xiao Ying needed such hope, or she would break down.

He said, “Perhaps he is recuperating. Let’s not be anxious. He will come back.”

Xiao Ying looked at him in despair and said, “Will he really come back?”

Cheng Yang nodded.

At night, after Cheng Yang rested, Xiao Ying suddenly opened her eyes. She had not fallen asleep at all. The moment she closed her eyes, she saw the happy smile on his face when she had promised Qiao Zihao to take him to the amusement park. The scene changed and she saw his face covered in blood as he fell into her arms.

Xiao Ying quietly walked out of the room and went to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. The moonlight outside cast a halo on the ground. She held the amulet in her hand and prayed silently.

“Qiao Zihao, you must get better.”

The amulet had no reaction in her hand. Instead, something strange happened in a distant junkyard in the suburbs.

Uncle Wang, who was collecting trash, sorted out the recycled trash as usual. He had just finished clearing a car of trash when he turned around and saw a faint glow coming from a bag.

Uncle Wang leaned over to take a look. There was indeed a hint of blue in the packed trash bag. Uncle Wang wondered, “Could it be that someone accidentally threw away their phone as trash?”

This speculation excited him. His greatest source of income at the junkyard was the various valuable items he had found in the trash. However, this kind of opportunity was rare.

With the intention of making a fortune, he did not mind the trouble. He opened the garbage bag that he had painstakingly arranged and took out the shiny things inside.

However, when he took it out, he saw that it was a shining amulet. Uncle Wang thought that it was an amulet with a lamp inside, so he threw it aside in disdain and packed up the trash again. When he turned back, he realized that he had forgotten to put the amulet in.

However, the packed garbage bag could not be opened. He picked up the amulet and looked at it. He decided to wash it clean and let his grandson play with it.

…

After a few days, Xiao Ying became more and more annoyed when she saw that the amulet had no reaction.. She had tried everything, but this amulet had no reaction at all.
