Chapter 9: A Peeper Betrayed

Spring left and caers, escaping all atterasp the a delicate fragrance into the courtyard

In the blink of an eye, I had passed a few ot the events of that night, and I was all too happy to take advantage of the slip I never brought up the words on the silk cloth again, and the two of us spent our lives peacefully until one day, I discovered that I’d grown quite tall

The robe I’d worn in prior years seehtness across the chest I also felt depressed these days When I was changing ainst my chest and felt a sharp pain

My body these days was really weird It see, but I couldn’t tell in ay

I didn’t pay it much attention, because all the little ills and pains in this house were nothing to worry about Even withoutthe field of rare and precious plants behind the building because the house, I had Fang Hua, who could concoct all sorts of miraculous cures

Fang Hua loved to fiddle with the plants and flowers

He also once told me that medicinal plants and flowers all had their own set of seasons and years Once that time that passed and they faded, they would be useless Actually, it was a pity because they could only continue living on as refined pills But we simply had too many plants in our backyard, so only the relatively rarer ones were picked to be refined

Every tiretful expression on his face

But I couldn’t understand howthe them with different powders to form into round pills… …

…could do anything to prolong their lives

Supposing they were hu pulverized like that would’ve killed them until even their bones disappeared

I really didn’t understand a guy like Fang Hua

Even though I said that, I could well iredients were gathered by him and placed into the beautiful collection of bottles and flasks in the house These things were precious beyond corain orth old

Fortunately, he only turned a blind eye to these things

I could only lie there stiffly Turning ainst my chest…

Seriously, this was so oppressing

For Mother’s sake…

It was fine if I didn’t hit it, but when I did the pain was enough to make my eyes leak tears

Pulling openparanoid, or ifto swell a bit

Could it be that the eather, co, caused my body to bloat?

I bent lance, but it looked normal

In one rabbed the ht yellow hue of bronze dazzled me to a point where I couldn’t open my eyes I felt my face all over to ascertain that it was the sahter

Ahh

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

It was no use, I couldn’t fall asleep no ht as well sneak into Fang Hua’s room and steal some medicine to eat and suppress these chest pains

I hooked up an outer robe and draped it around my shoulders

Like a thief[3], I stooped over to put ona lantern, I closed the door tooutside

A crescent h in the sky

Fang Hua’s room was across the courtyard froht spilled upon the ground

His door was closed, and his ere tightly shut

Still covering the lantern light from view, I peered towards the paper-coveredAt tiht would waver in and out

Was he asleep?

But it was still so early…
