Chapter 40: Liar_1
Jiang Cheng has just turned fourteen this year, his height has been sprouting up recently, almost catching up with his third uncle's height.
Although he's growing taller, he's still a slender teenager. Carrying his little cousin on his back for 5 or 6 miles, he was sweating profusely.
After all, Yingbao now weighs twenty pounds. Very heavy indeed, almost as heavy as a piglet.
Finally arriving at the market, he sat on a stone by the road to rest a bit, then got up and started walking again.
Seeing this, Yingbao took a boiled water chestnut from her pocket and handed it to her big cousin.
Jiang Cheng took it and finished it in three bites, feeling warmth spreading all over his body. In no time, his exhaustion was gone.
Being simple-minded as a teenager, he thought he was just hungry and a water chestnut helped him recover.
He didn't know that this water chestnut was an experimental piece that Yingbao had soaked in five-ding-zhi overnight.
