Chapter 56: No door to fortune or disaster

It was already dark, and Ding Ji was drinking so hard that his face was red. He said excitedly, "You didn't see it, that willow tree that was several people tall and as thick as a two-arm embrace."

Exhaling a breath of alcohol, Ding Ji continued, "Master Gu only needed to wrap his arms around me and exert a little force, and I would be uprooted! I was standing at the gate of the courtyard, and I thought it was a dragon turning over. I was so scared that I almost couldn't stand! My husband hugged me tightly, afraid that he would be swallowed by the earth if he let go!"

"Tsk, what nonsense are you talking about? It's not like we haven't been to Lord Gu's place for treatment before. How can the willow tree in the courtyard be as big as you say?"

"That's right. Don't think you can brag just because you have been with Master Gu for more than ten years. Master Gu's medical skills are indeed good, but how can he be as good at martial arts?"

"Don't you understand? This guy is just showing off to us that he has a good relationship with Master Gu! Master Gu asked this guy's wife to be the wet nurse to take care of his children. Anything he gives away is enough for us to eat and drink for several years!"

A few drinking buddies at the table who knew Ding Ji didn't believe it at all. They just thought Ding Ji was drunk and laughed.

"Tsk! You still don't believe it!"

Ding Ji slammed the table and said with his tongue tied in a knot, "That willow tree is not ordinary. Winter has just passed and the willow tree is already green and lush. It looks like summer! I said that good people will be rewarded, Lord Gu. Even the willow tree in his yard is different from others!"

When his companions heard Ding Ji's drunken talk, they burst into laughter.

Ever since Lord Gu saved his life and took him in for ten years, this kid has become a bona fide "Gu blowhard".

Whenever they meet someone, no matter if they have something to do or not, they like to praise the Imperial Physician Gu in a roundabout way. In the beginning, they just said how good his medical skills were, but later on, it was completely normal to add fuel to the fire without any reason.

I wish the Wang family next door would say that it was Imperial Physician Gu’s credit when they gave birth to two sons!

It is best to treat the news about Imperial Physician Gu that comes out of his mouth as nonsense.

"Oh? If the willow tree is so magical, why did you pull it out? Could it be that all the things hanging on the willow branches are silver?"

"How can silver be enough? With this guy's flattery, it must be all gold, right?"

In the small tavern, people who had some extra money after a busy day gathered together to drink and chat, laughing and teasing each other, making the place very lively.

The world is so big, and there are so many big things. Not everyone needs to care about them.

After all, ordinary people have to take care of their own piece of land and live their own lives well. Drinking with friends in spare time has always been the most popular pastime and relaxation in Dayue.

It’s just that the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

At a table a little further away, a man was holding a wine cup, ordering a plate of beans and eating silently, occasionally glancing in Ding Ji's direction.

When he heard Ding Ji talking about the strange sight of the willow trees in the courtyard of the Mohist Martial Arts School, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes.

The hard work of following an ordinary citizen for several months can finally stop! After a drinking party, Ding Ji staggered out of the tavern.

The moon is bright, the spring breeze is warm, and the night is so pleasant!

The wind blew across his cheeks, which already bore some traces of time, and the strong smell of alcohol dissipated a little.

Ding Ji hummed a tune softly, said goodbye to his old friend and walked towards home.

His life was much better than that of most ordinary people in Dayue, all thanks to the care that Lord Gu had given him. He was even able to marry a beautiful wife because he had worked in the Mohist Martial Arts School.

There was no need to express his gratitude in words, but Lord Gu didn't need him to do anything, so he could only flatter him when he met with old friends and make Lord Gu famous.

As for doctors, they save lives through their medicines. Such good people should of course be praised by people all over the world!

Walking in the spring breeze, looking at the courtyard gate that was obviously newer and stronger than those of the neighbors' houses, Ding Ji thanked Lord Gu in his heart as usual before stepping into the house.

Just as I was about to turn around and close the gate, I saw a man walking in.

Ding Ji shook his head and looked at the person who came, thinking it was a friend.

The man was thin and short, with an ordinary face that would be quickly forgotten in a crowd, and there was no memory of him having seen him before.

After making sure that he didn't know the man, Ding Ji said gently, "Brother, this is my home. You must be drunk and have come to the wrong place. Would you like a glass of water?"

"Oh"

The thin man sneered, and his iron-like hands grabbed Ding Ji's neck and lifted him up!

"Ugh!"

Ding Ji's eyes were wide open, and he frantically slapped the hand that was pinching his neck. His legs kicked wildly, and a few faint sounds of pain came out of his throat, but they were not uttered.

All the drunkenness disappeared in an instant. Ding Ji struggled almost frantically to pry the hand away, but the thin man was completely unmoved.

It was not until Ding Ji's face turned blue and white and he had almost lost all the strength to struggle that he finally let go.

Falling to the ground with a bang, Ding Ji gasped for breath and couldn't help vomiting continuously, as if he wanted to vomit out everything he had eaten in one gulp.

The thin man squatted down, waited for Ding Ji to finish vomiting, then grabbed Ding Ji's hair and turned his head towards him. He said in a low and fierce voice: "I ask questions, you answer. If you say any nonsense, I will kill your whole family."

Ding Ji didn't dare to say a word. The opponent's skills were no longer comparable to those of ordinary people. He could only nod his head like a chicken pecking at rice, even though his hair was still in the opponent's hands, causing him waves of tearing pain.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Has the willow tree in the Mohist Martial Arts School really become like summer?" the thin man finally asked.

Ding Ji's eyes widened, he seemed to realize something, and then shook his head repeatedly.

Seeing Ding Ji's reaction, the thin man smiled and pulled out a knife. "You are such a loser. You dare to waste several months of my time. You deserve to die!"

Ding Ji shouted at the top of his lungs: "Wife, run!!!"

The next moment, the knife flashed and blood gushed out!

Inside the house, the woman who heard the noise hurried out of the house. When she saw Ding Ji with his head dropped to the ground in the yard, she felt an indescribable chill rushing straight to her head, and she actually stood there.

The thin man looked at the woman for a few times. The woman's appearance was worth seeing. Her clothes were disheveled at her chest, and she was holding a small baby in her arms, revealing half of her snow-white and delicate flesh.

The thin man had lustful eyes, staring at an ordinary citizen almost day and night, and he was already full of anger.

"you"

The woman looked in horror as the man, whose body was stained with her husband's blood, was getting closer and closer to her.

The baby in her arms was forcibly pulled out and thrown violently to the ground.

The sound of clothes being forcibly torn was then heard.

The darkness swallowed up all the sobs and cries, only the bright moon in the sky remained bright and clear.

A hidden courtyard.

Jinyiwei commander Lu An opened the letter, read it carefully, and a hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Ha, Mo Jia, huh? Got you!"
