Chapter 122: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 122: Robbing the Execution Ground (1)
Time flew by, and in just a few days, the main house of the Mo family had been built, waiting for the other houses to be completed before the roof could be raised. However, despite several days passing, the arsonist still remained elusive.
To prevent further sabotage, Mo Yan had someone move the rafters and purlins piled up in the village to the construction site. The newly purchased wooden beams were also stored together with those, covered with tarpaulin to protect them from water. With Xiao Hua watching over, anyone thinking of causing trouble would have to think twice.
Unable to find the arsonist, Mo Yan felt extremely frustrated. She always suspected whether it was the Old Mo family who had done it, with Mo Yonglu, who had recently been released from prison, being the most likely suspect. However, lacking evidence, all she could do was suspect, and it was impossible for her to boldly confront them.
One day, as Mo Yan was preparing to go out to see if there were any fruit seedlings for sale, shopkeeper Xing came over with Xiao Zhu.
"Shopkeeper Xing, what brings you here?"
Inviting them to sit in the main hall, Mo Yan asked curiously. Today wasn't the day they had agreed upon for them to come and take the Spirit Spring water.
Shopkeeper Xing cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Miss Mo, it seems that the medicine water doesn't have any effect. Master asked me to come and inquire about it."
"No effect?" Mo Yan was puzzled, but she soon understood the reason. She explained, "Your master's friend had a weak body, and I was worried that he couldn't bear the medicinal power. That's why I suggested diluting the water with a cup of water for a bath. Now that it's not effective, it means his body is improving, and the medicinal power needs to be increased."
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Xing was relieved. "I see! Then, Miss, what should we do next?"
Mo Yan smiled. "Just add more medicine water! This kind of medicine water can be drunk directly. If the body is too weak, then bathing and gradually adjusting is necessary."
The fact that he could absorb the nearly negligible spiritual energy from vegetables to detoxify indicated that the person's body had deteriorated to an extreme point. It could only be gradually detoxified with diluted Spirit Spring water first to make it bearable and not suffer.
Shopkeeper Xing thanked her repeatedly. After sitting for a while and not seeing Xiao Hua come out to wander around, he asked.
By now, Mo Yan knew that Xiao Hua was owned by Yan Junyu. Seeing Shopkeeper Xing asking about it, she felt a little embarrassed and explained the matter of the wood being burned and having Xiao Hua look after it.
Shopkeeper Xing didn't think much of it. Although the snow wolf had been raised by Master since childhood, it wasn't a master-pet relationship. Master had never thought of claiming the snow wolf as his own. If the snow wolf chose to follow Miss Mo, then that was its choice.
However, he didn't expect that with the proud temperament of the snow wolf, even if Master wanted to command it, he would have to coax it like a lord first. Now, it willingly followed a young girl's orders. It seemed that Miss Mo was indeed extraordinary.
Mo Yan didn't know Shopkeeper Xing's thoughts and wanted to inquire about the fruit seedlings. She asked, "Shopkeeper Xing, with your extensive knowledge, do you know where to buy seedlings of apples, oranges, and similar fruits?"
"Selling fruit seedlings?" Shopkeeper Xing was taken aback. "Miss, do you want to plant fruit trees?"
Mo Yan nodded, feeling a little embarrassed. "I've always loved to eat those sweet and sour fruits, but they are rarely seen on the market. So, I want to try planting them myself."
