Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Defend the Eight Front Teeth (7)_1

Neither of them finished speaking as they walked all the way to Taiping Mountain, where some of the sunflowers had already sprouted.

Old Scholar Fang gazed at the vast expanse of Taiping Mountain, now fully planted with sunflowers, "Are you also planning to sell roasted seeds?"

Pei Qin wasn’t planning on selling roasted seeds, but at the moment, she could only nod, "After harvesting the sunflowers, I’m going to open a fried goods shop!"

Old Scholar Fang nodded, "If the soy sauce can be sold for a good price, hire someone to do it! You kids need to learn and have plenty of things to do." There was no need for them to make a big show of themselves; if she truly insisted on taking that path, it might have some benefits after all.

"We’ll see after the soy sauce is sold!" Pei Qin chuckled, that was exactly her plan, being a hands-off shopkeeper would be so comfortable! She would rather set up a stall when she felt like it, teach Little Radish, and enjoy her carefree little life!

Old Scholar Fang also visited the sweet potato field, and seeing that people were still sporadically buying sweet potato shoots for one wen money, two wen money, he returned home with a heavy heart.

Shen Songming also went up the mountain with high spirits, having Shuang Xi carry a bamboo basket for him to gather herbs.

For a few days, Old Scholar Fang worried at home and even ate less.

Grandma Fang thought he was worried about the awards, but when she asked him, he only mentioned the poor promotion of sweet potatoes, never revealing his actual concerns.

Old Scholar Fang felt that there was no point in discussing such matters with them, and if the word spread, it could affect Pei Qin’s reputation. He decided to make plans by himself initially!

Shen Songming strutted around the mountain for a few days; some of these herbs had become extinct in modern times but thrived in this ancient era, possibly thousands of years old.

When he returned home, he crushed the gathered herbs into a paste, added a catalyst, and had Mo Heng apply it to his eyes.

"Why does it smell a bit foul and fishy?" Zhang Gengshan crinkled his nose at the scent of the herbal paste.

"I can add some perfume to it for you, but then it would lose its effectiveness. Would you prefer that?" Shen Songming asked, looking at him.

Zhang Gengshan didn’t reply, mainly because he didn’t trust Shen Songming and was afraid he might harm someone again.

"Anyway, we’re all blind now; if it gets any worse, it’s just permanent blindness!" Shen Songming gave him a disdainful glance, applied the medicine to Mo Heng, and wrapped it with a white cloth. He had originally thought of making the binding look ugly, to mar his good looks by half. However, Mo Heng, now with his eyes bound in white cloth, looked so lonely and pitiful that it was heart-wrenching to see.

Shen Songming had no intention of feeling sympathy for him. He saw Zhang Gengshan’s eyes redden, and Pei Qin also gazed at Mo Heng, clicking her tongue and watching for quite a while.

Mo Heng remained expressionless throughout, allowing Shen Songming to administer and bandage the medicine without saying a word from start to finish.

Shen Songming knew that once his eyes were healed, he would have to leave and couldn’t keep pestering Pei Qin anymore; it was he who had urged this, so the damned blind man was obviously annoyed. Well, now it was his (Shen Songming’s) turn to be pleased!

Before leaving, he told Zhang Gengshan which herbs to pick and handed him the well-ground catalyst, explaining how to make the paste and change the medicine, then waved his hands and bid farewell.

But within a quarter of an hour, large beads of sweat had begun to fall from Mo Heng’s forehead.

Zhang Gengshan exclaimed in alarm, "Could there be something wrong with the medicine!? I’m going to find him! Find a doctor!"

"No need. He mentioned earlier that this symptom would occur." Mo Heng said calmly.

"But who ever heard of it causing such pain!" Zhang Gengshan sobbed, wiping away tears. The young master had already suffered so much! Yet the heavens remained blind to it!

The next day, Shen Songming came over to help change the medicine, clicking his tongue twice at the sight of his cold, unexpressive face. After his cousin applied the medicine, he wailed non-stop from the pain, while this damned blind man kept a stoic expression.

Zhang Gengshan and Feng Wei watched carefully on the side, learning as they would be the ones to change the young master’s dressings for the coming months.

Shen Songming explained everything again, then leisurely walked out.
