The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Chapter 45: The Great Injustice of Being a Slave 1

Du Yue didn't notice anything unusual about Ji Yanli. Her heart and eyes were all on Cheng Mingqi.

Seeing Cheng Mingqi's eyelashes fluttering and opening his eyes, she was filled with joy: "Cousin, you're awake."

Cheng Mingqi gave her a gentle smile and wanted to get up——

???

His smile froze, and he changed his posture and started again...

what happened?

He was sweating profusely.

Du Yue urged him: "Cousin, get up quickly. I'll make lunch for you later. You've worked hard on the way here. Go back to your room and have a good rest."

"Yue'er," Cheng Mingqi's face turned grim, and he gritted his teeth: "I can't seem to get up."

Du Yue still hadn't figured out what "can't get up" meant. Didn't her cousin collapse from exhaustion while helping sell medicinal herbs? Why couldn't he get up?

Beside him, Ji Yanli sighed quietly: "My cousin lost too much energy, was agitated, and when he fell, he hit something hard and became paralyzed."

Paralyzed, paralyzed?

Du Yue widened her eyes and looked in disbelief at Cheng Mingqi who was struggling on the ground and couldn't get up. She also saw the hard stone protruding from the ground beside him.

"I'm not paralyzed! Come on, Yue'er, help me get into the room first, and go to town to find a doctor to see me, hurry up!"

Cheng Mingqi obviously also heard what Ji Yanli said. He yelled at Du Yue to go over and help him.

He is not paralyzed. Ji Yanli is just a quack doctor. He just doesn't want him to get better and thinks he is annoying.

Du Yue didn't move. She asked first: "What does it mean to lose too much essence?"

Cheng Mingqi's eyes flickered, and Ji Yanli kindly explained: "It means that your cousin has found a cousin-in-law for you, and the two of them have a very good relationship."

Du Yue stared at Cheng Mingqi gloomily for a while, then walked over to help him up.

"Come and help."

Ji Yanli curled his lips and went over to help the man in a serious manner, but he didn't use any strength at all. The weight of Cheng Mingqi, a grown man, was all on Du Yue. Her face turned red, and she dropped him after a few steps.

"what!"

Cheng Mingqi cried out in pain.

Ji Yanli: "Du Yue, what's wrong with you! My cousin is seriously ill, and you just left him like this. Are you afraid that he won't be paralyzed enough?"

Cheng Mingqi's face turned green.

"Well, I still have to go call someone... Cousin, give me the money from selling the herbs this time, and I'll find someone to carry you. If you don't trust my medical skills, then I'll find you another doctor."

Cheng Mingqi took out a tael of silver from his pocket with a distressed look on his face.

This time, Ji Yanli had luckily dug up an old ginseng plant from the back mountain. He had been so envious that he persuaded Du Yue to give it to him to sell. Life had been tough these days, but there were still some wealthy people. He went to the county town and sold it to a wealthy merchant for three taels of silver. He had spent another tael on food and drink along the way, and he had originally planned to exchange one tael for a few dozen copper coins for Ji Yanli, but before he could do so, he felt weak and dizzy. He feared death and hurried back without stopping.

When Ji Yanli asked for money, he could only give him one or two taels of silver.

My heart aches so much that it bleeds.

But think about it, this money is used to find a doctor for him, so it can be considered as spending it on him.

Ji Yanli held the money without moving. He was not stupid. How could the old ginseng be sold for only one or two taels of silver?

"Hey, cousin, why don't you wait a little longer? I thought the money from selling ginseng was enough. You can't hire a doctor in town for just one or two taels of silver."

fart!

Cheng Mingqi cursed inwardly, but still took out the remaining one or two taels of silver: "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm afraid I'll lose some of the silver, so I'm keeping it separate. Two taels of silver, is that enough?"

Ji Yanli weighed the silver in his hand.

"Then wait, cousin. I'll go get someone."

After leaving the house, he went straight to the town and had a meal at a restaurant first. There were not many dishes in the restaurant, but he finally had a full meal, and his stomach, which had been aching, felt much better.

After dinner he was not in a hurry to go home, but strolled along the street and looked around.

There were not many people on the street, and there were few small vendors. People wore clothes mostly made of coarse cloth. Occasionally, there was a person riding in a horse-drawn carriage, but he was in a hurry.

According to the original body's memory, the rebels had already conquered a large area of the country. The emperor proposed to divide the river and rule separately, but was rejected by the rebels, who were determined to change the dynasty in one go.

In the end, the rebellion was defeated because the old emperor suddenly passed away and the prince ascended the throne. He promoted many capable ministers and generals, including talented people from the people. He also reduced taxes and issued many policies that benefited the country and the people to win over the people. Gradually, the situation went from winning one and losing nine to being evenly matched and then to winning more and losing less.

After the rebels were completely defeated, the old emperor's death was brought up by the prince's brothers to criticize him, saying that the prince had killed his father and was unfit to be a son or a ruler.

Ji Yanli didn't think so.

Even though the old emperor's death was closely related to the prince, he was incompetent in his later years and had killed countless loyal ministers and generals. The people were suffering. If the country was still in his hands, even more people would have died. It would be more painful for everyone if he died alone. Ji Yanli thought, it would be better for the old emperor to die.

"Ouch."

He was thinking about something when a little beggar suddenly bumped into him.

"I'm sorry, are you okay?"

The little beggar wiped him twice, and when he saw that he was fine, he was ready to leave. Ji Yanli curled his lips, reached out and grabbed the other person, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

The little beggar was shocked. He just stole some silver, so why did the man faint?

Three or four beggars came running over from a distance. One of them, a dark-skinned beggar, pointed at the little beggar and said, "I told you you have a bad heart. I asked you to steal some silver, and you knocked everyone unconscious. I'm telling the boss that we in the Renyi Gang absolutely cannot accept someone like you."

"not me."

The little beggar waved his hands hurriedly. He had finally joined the gang, so he couldn't tell the boss.

He took out the two taels of silver he had just stolen from his tattered clothes and stuffed it into Ji Yanli's hand: "I won't take your silver anymore, wake up soon."

Several beggars surrounded Ji Yanli, looking at him eagerly, making Ji Yanli almost burst out laughing.

Finally, a few beggars followed the rules of the Renyi Gang that they would never bully the people and would never stand by and watch someone in need, and carried Ji Yanli to the gang's headquarters - a dilapidated temple that was leaking wind and rain.

"Boss, quickly ask the third boy to help, this guy has fainted."

The leader of the Renyi Gang is called Zheng De. He is a fair-faced, beardless man with a feminine appearance, but he is the one who has the final say in the Renyi Gang and everyone respects him.

Zheng De only took a glance and said with a smile: "This brother should be fine. If we brothers have offended you unintentionally, please forgive us."

Ji Yanli opened his eyes. He was also wearing patched coarse clothes, but his dark eyes were deep, and his expression remained calm even after being exposed. Zheng De always thought that he had good eyesight. The young man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person.

Ji Yanli stood up and bowed to Zheng De.

"I've long heard of the Renyi Gang's reputation for chivalry. Seeing the leader today, I feel like the reputation lives up to its name. It's truly a pleasure to meet you."

Zheng De said, "Brother, have you heard of our Renyi Gang?"
