Chapter 348: Chapter 348 The Dying Man (4)_1

Fang Hui, recognizing Pei Yuan’s gentle nature, sighed and spoke to her all night long, hoping to move her and to have her say more good words on Pei Qin’s behalf.

The next day, Pei Yuan was listless upon rising.

Pei Qian glanced at Fang Hui and let out a low snort.

After breakfast, Fang Hui suggested that they slaughter the drake she had brought over for lunch and eat its meat.

Seeing that she wasn’t ready to leave, Pei Qin said, "The road is not easy to travel, shall I drive you to send Auntie home?"

Seeing her smile not reaching her eyes, carrying an impatient chill, Fang Hui was reluctant, "No need, it’s not that far, I can go back on my own."

Then Pei Qin did not see her off.

Upon returning home, Fang Hui was fuming and went to Grandma Fang to complain.

Lady Yu listened without a word, thinking that just sending some gifts and saying a few nice words expected Qinqin and her brother to immediately provide her with benefits. The second sister was mistaken. Qinqin may seem easy to talk to, but if she didn’t have a tough streak, how could she manage a household?

Grandma Fang also advised Fang Hui to take it slow and wait until she went to Taiping Town, to help speak on her behalf, and they could all gather together again on the fifteenth of August.

Once the Ghost Festival on the fifteenth of July was over, the weather gradually began to cool down, and it wasn’t so hot anymore.

Mo Heng, after months of treatment on his eyes, could now see whiteness before him. Even though it was blurry and he couldn’t see clearly, it was already a vast improvement compared to the pitch darkness he experienced both day and night before.

Pei Qin came to pick sweet potato leaves to steam and eat, hearing his eyes were getting better, "It turns out the medicine really works, not just thrown together!"

Zhang Gengshan glanced at her with his poor eyesight. Did she really believe this whole time that the medicine was just thrown together? Then why hadn’t she stopped them from letting their young master use it for so long?

Mo Heng took out the dictionary of character strokes for simplification, "It’s almost revised completely, but some characters haven’t been recorded. Geng Shan can’t help me with research."

"Uh... I can’t help with research either! The books you need are nowhere to be found in the whole Taiping Town!" Pei Qin said.

Mo Heng asked her to verify it for him, to see if there were any mistakes, as it was not easy for him to spot errors in his own work.

Pei Qin was at a loss; she wasn’t a literary master. If this young genius couldn’t detect the mistakes, how could she?

Mo Heng approached her until he heard her shallow breathing and then stopped.

Pei Qin rolled her eyes to the heavens, "So close... Damn!" She realized that looking at Mo Jiu from such a close distance, she had to tilt her head back.

Mo Heng heard her exclamation and hastily backed away two steps, "I... can’t see." It was an explanation.

Zhang Gengshan also approached, watching Pei Qin as if observing something.

Pei Qin instead took two steps toward Mo Heng and asked him, "How tall are you exactly?"

Mo Heng was already quite tall, and he had grown considerably over the past year. Caught off guard by her question about his height, Mo Heng hesitated, "I don’t know."

Geng Shan, standing by, pursed his lips and said, "Our young master is at least six feet tall!"

Pei Qin was blatantly incredulous, "Six feet is two meters, do you think he is two meters tall?"

"Well, our young master is certainly tall!" Zhang Gengshan insisted.

Pei Qin scoffed at him, as if she could barely believe what she was hearing. One meter eighty was already tall, and here he was claiming two meters, as if he thought he was Yao Ming!

Mo Heng was unaware she had been brooding over her own height for quite some time, "Men should be taller."

"... Yes." Pei Qin responded weakly, taking his manuscript, "I’ll look at it when I’m free." She doubted she would have any free time in the coming days! She had to go back and make bone broth!

But they had already had lots of bone broth, and it seemed that Pei Qian hadn’t grown much at all, while Pei Yuan and Pei Wendong, along with Chang Yonglin, shot up swiftly, but Pei Qin herself hadn’t grown much.
