Chapter 297 Just thinking about it makes my face turn red
"When I was dying, there were still children trying to trick me. They didn't treat me like a human being at all. My whole life has been a complete joke."
"I might as well die."
"Why not just use your Emerald Jade to kill yourself? It won't take any effort."
The old man snatched the Cui Yuzhi that Jiujiu handed to him with his skinny hand, stuffed it into his mouth as quickly as possible, chewed it into pieces, and swallowed it.
The movements were done in one go, revealing a sense of determination.
"I'm going to die soon."
"I was freed immediately."
After the old man finished eating the Cui Yu Zhi, he shook off Jiujiu's hand and collapsed on the ground, waiting to die in tears, while recalling all the experiences of his life.
"Grandpa, Grandpa..."
Shitou came to the old man in a hurry and scratched his throat, asking him to spit out the Cui Yuzhi.
"This medicine is extremely poisonous. The uncles and aunts in the village have taught us since we were young that we must never touch this stuff."
"If you touch it, you will definitely die, and it will be a very painful death."
"People who have lived in the village for generations have all stayed away from this Emerald Ganoderma."
"Grandpa, how can you eat it?"
Shitou dug into the old man's mouth for a long time, but nothing came out. The old man kept his mouth tightly shut.
Shitou looked at Jiujiu in despair and accused him, "How could you harm my grandpa? He is my only relative!"
"Don't worry, your grandpa will be fine." Jiujiu spread his hands, "You have been helping my sixth brother take care of the house, how could I hurt you?"
"I'm saving your grandpa."
"Save my grandpa? Ha!" Shitou knelt in front of the old man, crying loudly, rolled his eyes at Jiujiu and said, "I'm a beggar, not a fool."
Stone roared loudly, like a little beast, "How could you lie to me like this?"
"Can Cui Yuzhi save my grandfather? No."
"Cui Yuzhi will only kill my grandfather."
As Shitou said this, he held the old man's hand tightly and looked at him with reluctance.
"Grandpa, Stone really can't live without you."
"Alas..." The old man explained his last wishes, "Shitou, grandpa saved two taels of silver for you and hid it under the straw mat on the earthen kang. After grandpa is gone, remember to take it out and spend it."
"Buy yourself some good food and drinks."
"Make yourself fatter."
"besides……"
The old man sighed with regret when he got to this point, and said, "When you grow up, I will find a way to find you a wife, no matter if I have to coax you or trick you."
"A home is only possible with a woman. Grandpa hopes that you will have a home and a child of your own..."
"But grandpa can't help you. You can only help yourself."
When the old man said this, he suddenly felt that his headache was not so painful anymore.
He thought he was dying from eating the Emerald Ganoderma and his perception started to blur, so this happened.
He was ready to die.
But after a long time, he still hadn't died. Instead, his consciousness became clearer and clearer, and his splitting headaches were gone, and he felt relaxed.
The old man stood up, walked outside in the sun, then came back and rubbed his head.
He made sure he was okay and his spirits improved.
"Can this Emerald Ganoderma really cure headaches?" he asked Jiujiu somewhat embarrassedly.
He had just arranged all his affairs, uncovered all his past secrets, and reviewed his life, but now... he is not dead.
Just thinking about it makes my face turn red.
"Really." Jiujiu nodded and said, "Didn't you feel it? The headache is gone, and your consciousness has become clearer."
"That's right."
In order to hide his embarrassment, the old man put his fist to his mouth and coughed a few times. His eyes were a little evasive and he didn't dare to look people in the eye.
Seeing this, Jiujiu didn't stay any longer, making the old man even more embarrassed.
Jiujiu reminded the old man about the amount of Cui Yuzhi he should take when he has a headache, and then left with Nan Yuanxiang and the others.
The stone sent them away.
After sending the man back, Shitou climbed onto the old man's kang and found the two taels of silver the old man had mentioned from under the straw mat.
After finding it, he quickly put it into his arms and held it carefully.
The old man was so anxious when he saw it that he picked up the broom and pointed at the stone and said, "Put it down, you bastard. You are not allowed to take it."
"I'll use the money to buy some sesame cakes to nourish grandpa." Shitou insisted on taking it.
The old man was so angry that he jumped up and down. He shouldn't have been in such a hurry to make arrangements for his funeral arrangements. Now he not only embarrassed himself but also lost money.
That was the two taels of silver he had saved with great difficulty!
How can I buy him food?
What a waste!
"Stop, don't go." The old man wanted to stop Shitou from buying sesame cakes to prevent him from spending money indiscriminately.
But he didn't stop it, the stone ran very fast.
Shitou was happy because it was just a false alarm, so how could he not run fast?
After running out, Shitou did not just go shopping, but caught up with Jiujiu and the others.
"Benefactor, benefactor."
Shitou called Jiujiu his benefactor, and when he arrived in front of Jiujiu, he kowtowed to her three times.
"From now on, you are my benefactor, and I must repay you." Shitou vowed to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu felt embarrassed when she saw Shitou’s serious expression. She had only given him a herb, so there was no need to be so serious.
She said, "Don't say that. You helped my sixth brother, so I should help your grandfather."
"Sixth brother?" Shitou was puzzled.
Jiujiu explained: "Da Zhuang is my sixth brother."
"Is that so?" Shitou nodded in understanding. "No matter what, I will repay you. But not now. When I grow up and my grandfather leaves, I will go find you. Can you tell me your name and where you live?"
"Feng Yanyue lives in the Imperial City."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Shitou said this and left.
Jiujiu watched his back as he left and didn't take it too seriously.
Feng Yunyi teased, "That boy knows how to repay his gratitude. He is a good person. The princess is so lucky."
He then turned to look at Nan Yuanxiang and boasted, "Yuanxiang, you are lucky to know someone as handsome and suave as me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Yuanxiang kicked Feng Yunyi hard, handed him a small mirror, and said disdainfully: "Look in the mirror more often."
"You are still handsome and suave?"
"All the men in the world are dead. You don't even have the right to use these two words. Tsk..."
Nan Yuanxiang had a look of disdain on her face.
“…”
Feng Yunyi was devastated.

After Jiujiu and others returned to Dazhuang's house, all the things that had been moved away from Dazhuang's house had been sent back.
Liu Zhaodi and Xia Xiaoyun, mother and daughter, cooked a few simple dishes, steamed rice, and prepared to eat, waiting for Jiujiu and the others to come back.
After Jiujiu and others came back and finished their meal, they prepared to return to Beijing.
Liu Zhaodi is willing to follow Dazhuang and Xia Xiaoyun back to Beijing.
However, on the way back to Beijing, Jiujiu learned something very bad.
Something big happened in Dijiang.
