The wife of a powerful minister?Don't worry, I'll take back my destiny first

Chapter 21 Out of Control
Xuanjizi was shocked: Isn't Ni Ge a weak scholar?Where did you get such strength?He used all his strength.However, Ni Ge pinched his wrist so hard that he could not move at all.

Xuanjizi secretly felt lucky and his eyes fell on the bamboo slices, fearing that the earth evil ointment would accidentally get on his body.

Ni Ge refused while saying righteously: "I have become a useless person, so there is no need to spend this money in vain. After all, most of the students in the academy are from poor families. Even if everyone can work together, it will not be enough." Maybe we can scrape together the one thousand, eight hundred taels of silver."

Seeing Ni Ge's firm attitude, Shangguan Jiao rolled her eyes and said quickly: "Ni Ge, I know you don't want to spend everyone's money. Otherwise, after we collect the money, you can write a letter to every classmate who contributed money. IOU, is that okay?"

"No." Ni Ge said, but the strength in his hand did not decrease at all, causing Xuan Jizi to frown in pain.

"My legs are already crippled. Do I have to incur huge foreign debts for my family because of a cripple like me? I, Ni Ge, can't be so selfish."

"One thousand, eight hundred taels of silver, not 800 taels. Even if our family doesn't eat or drink, we won't be able to pay off this debt in 18 years."

Ni Hua knew that Ni Ge was telling the truth. He lowered his head sadly, hating that he was unable to spend the money to look at Ni Ge's legs.

"Ni Ge!"

"Ni Ge!"

Ding Zhongwen and Shangguan Jiao shouted at the same time, both wanting to persuade Ni Ge a few more words.

Ni Ge waved his hand and said firmly: "I know your good intentions, but please stop trying to persuade me."

Ni Ge's eyes moved from Ding Zhongwen to Shangguan Jiao, and then said with a sad smile: "Ding Zhongwen, Shangguan Jiao, if you two become like me, you will never pay back such a huge sum of money to your family for such a vain result. Endless debt?"

Ding Zhongwen and Shangguan Jiao were choked. They wanted to say that as long as they could cure the disease, it didn't matter how much debt his family owed.
But they could only think about these words in their hearts and did not dare to say them out loud.

"Bah!" Ye Xi put Ni Chen down on the ground, rushed in, grabbed Xuan Jizi's collar and pulled him out, cursing: "You don't want your family to be in debt, why should you? Our family paid more than 1000 taels of silver for Ni Ge?"

"It's too expensive. We won't treat it. If we don't treat it, do you hear?"

Ni Ge had already let go when Ye Xi grabbed Xuanjizi's collar.

Ye Xi was so strong that Xuan Jizi was unexpectedly dragged out by Ye Xi.

Xuanjizi kept resisting, and Shangguan Jiao wanted to step forward to help. Ye Xi narrowed his eyes, shook his hands, and some of the plaster on the bamboo slices flew out and landed on Shangguan Jiao's face.

Ding Zhongwen wanted to step forward to scold Ye Xi, but was stabbed in the neck by the bamboo fragment in Xuan Jizi's hand.

Ding Zhongwen subconsciously blocked it, and the bamboo piece with the remaining plaster attached to Xuan Jizi's face.

Xuanjizi was frightened and shouted angrily, "Shrew, let me go!"

Ye Xi obediently threw the mystery into the overgrown yard, clapped his hands and stood under the eaves to watch the fun.

Xuanjizi was free, and regardless of his appearance, he took out his handkerchief and kept wiping the place where the bamboo splinter had poked him.

When he saw the dark mark on the handkerchief, his eyes turned dark and he almost fainted.

He kept wiping his face with his sleeves, unable to hide the horror in his eyes.

Ye Xi pointed at Xuan Jizi and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Taoist Master, didn't you say this is a muscle-building ointment? Why do you feel like you were poisoned when you got a little bit on your face?"

Only then did Ding Zhongwen and Shangguan Jiao react and quickly wiped their faces with their sleeves.

When they saw the black mud on their sleeves, they all screamed in fear.The sound also attracted villagers chatting at the end of the village after work.

"Hey, what's going on? Why do all three of them have dark things on their faces?" Sister-in-law Li, a talkative woman in the village, stood outside the fence with a smile, and was cracking a handful of melon seeds in her hand. .

Aunt Wang, who was on par with Sister-in-law Li, also came over, looked at Ye Xi and asked, "Ms. Ye, isn't it you who threw shit in other people's faces?"

"Hahahaha~, it's so dark, it really looks like shit." Others laughed wildly.

"That's not shit, it's muscle-building cream." Ye Xi introduced to everyone with a sincere face: "This is Ding Xiucai's junior sister, and this is the Taoist priest of Qingyang Temple."

"They came to our house to treat Ni Ge's leg. The black thing was muscle-building ointment. It was very expensive, costing 200 taels of silver a bottle!"

Ye Xi pointed to the bottle Xuanjizi held in his hand: "No, it's just that big of a bottle of plaster."

Everyone looked in the direction of Ye Xi's finger. In Xuanjizi's hand, there was a porcelain bottle that was half the size of a child's fist.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned: "Tsk, tsk, such a small amount actually costs 200 taels of silver!"

Ye Xi nodded: "Yes, one bottle costs 200 taels of silver, and it takes ten bottles to prevent the flesh on Ni Ge's legs from becoming necrotic."

"Ten bottles, that doesn't cost 2000 taels of silver." The next moment, You, who was good at calculating, told the amount of silver needed for ten bottles of plaster, causing the villagers to take a breath of cold air.

Ni Ge's parents and other family members also came over. They heard that Xuanjizi was here to treat Ni Ge's leg, so they were quite grateful.But when they heard the sky-high price, they were all stunned.

Seeing that people from the village were already crowding in front of his house, Ye Xi put his hands on his hips and cursed fiercely: "You have also seen that this black thing that looks like dog shit has been praised as an elixir by them. And The lion opened his mouth, how dare you ask for 200 taels of silver for such a small amount?"

"Haha, let's not talk about that." Ye Xi pointed at Xuanjizi and the other three and said loudly: "Look, the plaster accidentally got on their faces. They don't cherish such a good thing. It seems to be poisonous." , their good faces are about to be wiped off by themselves."

When everyone takes a look, it is really like this.

Ni Hua, who was standing inside the door, also noticed something was wrong and looked at Xuan Jizi and the others in shock.

Xuanjizi wiped his face and argued: "You ignorant village woman, of course the muscle-building cream can only be used by people who are sick. We are not injured, so how can we use muscle-building cream?"

But Xuanjizi's explanation was so pale. Seeing how they looked like they were facing a powerful enemy despite being covered in plaster, no one believed his words at all.

Ding Zhongwen wiped his face with one hand and pointed at Ye Xi's nose and shouted angrily: "Mrs. Ye, you vicious woman, why are you so crazy? We kindly invited Taoist Master Xuanjizi to treat Ni Ge's leg. You are so brave, you actually Dare to hit someone. You are repaying kindness with vengeance!"

Ye Xi was stunned, as if he didn't expect Ding Zhongwen to say this to her.

Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked at Ding Zhongwen with grievances and said, "Ding Xiucai, didn't you just call me outside and ask me to say this? I have a good memory, and I won't say a word of what you asked me to say." You’re not wrong!”

Ding Zhongwen looked at Ye Xi in astonishment, wondering why Ye Xi suddenly escaped his control.

Shangguan Jiao glanced at Ye Xi with her dark eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Ms. Ye, what did Ding Zhongwen just say to you?"

　Thanks to the book friend Chu Jian for sending me the recommendation ticket, okay?See you tomorrow.
