Chapter 153 Life falls before reaching its peak



No matter how much money Ji Changying offered, Dr. Lin refused to take it.

She could only give up: "In that case, let's cancel it out."

She was also happy, and could see that Dr. Lin really didn't want to owe her a favor.

Hearing her words, Doctor Lin showed a satisfied smile on his face: "I am getting old! I am most afraid of not being able to repay the favors I owe to others. If I can repay them sooner, I can sleep earlier."

Ji Fengshou didn't expect that after borrowing a carriage for a while, he finally borrowed it from Xie Siheng.

After explaining his purpose, he asked Ying Er to directly bring his carriage to Ji Fengshou and the others.

Ying Er finally couldn't hold back any more, "We're going to Xiaotian Village anyway, so it's convenient for us! Why don't we go too? Don't we have to see Mr. Ren?"

Xie Siheng looked up, looked at Ying Er with anxious eyes, and finally nodded.

"Okay! We promise to arrange everything properly!"

Ying Er jumped up excitedly and immediately called Ying Yi and the others to arrange the trip to Oda Village.

Even the three Ji Shilin brothers were diligently carried onto the carriage by Ying Er and his men: "We'll do it, you guys take a rest!"

Ji Changying and Zhou Shi didn't get involved at all.

The carriage was padded with thick quilts, and the three of them were quite big, filling the entire carriage.

Ji Fengshou originally wanted to take them to sit on the shaft to drive the carriage, but Ying Er directly pulled them to the carriage at the back: "Our horses recognize people, you just sit there and we'll drive!"

When the curtain was lifted, Xie Siheng was sitting in the carriage at the back.

Seeing them coming, Xie Siheng made way for them, and his meaning was very clear: let them come up.

Ji Fengshou chuckled: "I didn't expect Master Xie to be here too. What a coincidence, isn't it? Let's shamelessly get back your carriage."

After saying that, he got into the car swiftly and called for Zhou and Ji Changying to follow.

Xie Siheng poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him: "You're welcome."

Ji Fengshou took the tea and gulped it down. "You're too polite! Not only did you borrow the carriage, but you also bothered to take us back in person?"

"Not really. I just happened to be going to Oda Village to look for someone."

Thinking of Ren Dongnan, Xie Siheng's thoughts flew far away.

There were never any outsiders present when the three of them got together, and he and his mother never stood up to the Marquis of Xuanping.

It was on that day that Marquis Xuanping drugged him and the eldest princess, stabbed the eldest princess, and then swung a knife at him.

The incident happened so suddenly that even the secret guards outside didn't notice anything wrong.

At the last moment, the eldest princess overturned the vase with all her might, which attracted the attention of the secret guards outside and rescued him.

Unfortunately, the princess was only hanging on for a breath. After being rescued, she was only told to rush to Liangzhou to find a man named Ren Dongnan, and then she passed away...

Thinking of this, Xie Siheng's fingers holding the teacup turned white.

Ji Changying stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him: "Hey! Wake up!"

Xie Siheng loosened his grip and came back to his senses: "What's wrong?"

Ji Changying glanced at her parents and lowered her voice: "What do you think of my previous proposal?"

Xie Siheng raised his eyebrows: "Are you talking about robbing them?"

Ji Changying nodded.

"I think what the magistrate said makes sense, but—"

"Quality is more important than numbers. Find a team of elite soldiers and give it a try!"

Ji Changying's eyes lit up: "Great! I always say young people are energetic! Can you lend me some people?"

····

Ji Fengshou glanced at his daughter resentfully, then opened the curtains and looked at the street outside.

White cloth was hung everywhere, and the whole city was in mourning.

He said with some sadness: "We have lost our mule and cart. My life has fallen before it even reached its peak."

This was a big blow to him.

Ji Changying comforted him: "If you don't have a mule, you still have a horse. If you don't have a mule cart, you still have a horse cart. Isn't that another step forward? Why did you fall?"

Speaking of horses, Ji Fengshou glanced at the two horses following behind him and finally cheered up a little: "At least I saved one, otherwise I would really die with regrets."

"Hurry up! Bah! Bah! It's unlucky!"

When Zhou heard this, she glared at Ji Fengshou and pressed his head, making him spit on the ground.

Mrs. Hu once said this to her, and she remembered it after just one time.

Ji Fengshou, who was pressed down and unable to get up, spat twice on the ground before being let go.

Xie Siheng found it interesting and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Ji Fengshou's face flushed red with embarrassment. In front of outsiders, he had to keep his dignity, okay?!

The atmosphere instantly changed as soon as you entered the village. The doors were wide open and every house you looked in had people kneeling on the ground burning paper.

When they arrived in the village, they first went to Aunt Li's house and sent the three Ji Shilin brothers back home.

When Aunt Li saw her three sons lying there, tears instantly filled her eyes: "It's good that they're back, it's good that they're back!"

Ji Shilin's eyes also turned red: "Mom, I am unfilial. I was not by your side when the accident happened. I made you worry so much..."

Aunt Li wiped away a tear, and the image of a loving mother and filial sons suddenly changed. She pointed at her three sons and said, "I'm glad to know! Hurry up and take good care of me. I'm still waiting for you to show your filial respect to me! I've worked hard for most of my life, but I haven't had any happiness at all. It makes me sad to see you three!"

This... is a bit sudden.

The tears of the three Ji Shilin brothers rolled around in their eyes and then dried up.

Ji Fengshou felt a little guilty: "Auntie...it's all my fault! The three Lin brothers got hurt while trying to save me."

Aunt Li gave him an angry look. "You took them out to earn money out of kindness, but who could have foreseen something like this? It's fate! The three of them are tough guys, so they can just recover from a few injuries. No need to apologize, it's no big deal."

Seeing that they were still alive, Aunt Li felt relieved and returned to her former decisiveness.

He arranged the three of them to lie side by side on the bed, and asked his daughter-in-law to boil medicine for them.

After Ji Fengshou carefully explained the usage and dosage of various medicines, he couldn't wait to go see his eldest brother, leaving them to go home alone.

Ji Changying looked at Xie Siheng beside him and introduced him enthusiastically: "Who are you looking for? I might know him and can help you find the way."

"Ren Dongnan, are you familiar with him?"

Ji Changying looked at him in surprise: "No way? You still know him?"

Xie Siheng didn't want to say more about personal matters: "He's just an old acquaintance of my elders."

"He's quite skilled in Kung Fu. I don't know much else about him, but he lives next door to me."

We arrived as we were talking.

Ji Changying pointed to the courtyard of the Ji family, which was separated by a wall: "This is it."

As soon as Ying Er arrived, he couldn't wait to knock on the door: "Mr. Ren! Are you there?"

Ren Dongnan had just finished his meal at Ji's house and was walking out slowly. He heard someone standing in front of his yard and knocking on the door. He asked with some displeasure, "What's going on?"

Xie Siheng looked at Ji Changying.

She understood instantly and took Zhou out of the carriage and returned to her home.

Ying Er ran over and said, "Mr. Ren, it's me! I'm the one who recognized you last time. My master is here!"

Xie Siheng jumped off the carriage and couldn't help frowning when he looked into Ren Dongnan's eyes.
