Chapter 268: Reaching for the Sky

Ms. Qian just "hmm" in response, saying, "Then you go up the mountain tomorrow, together with Four, give the carrying pole work to Four, just dig some mud and sweep some leaves, don't do heavy work for now."

Zhou Dalang responded with an "Okay."

To Ms. He, Ms. Qian said, "You rest at home tomorrow, you were scared today, weren't you?"

Ms. He's face was somewhat pale, as she forced a smile and said, "It's, it's alright."

Ms. Qian sighed. Not only Ms. He, but even she felt a lingering fear.

Returning to the old Zhou home, Ms. Qian asked Ms. Feng to stay with Ms. He for the night, and then she herself went back to her room.

Zhou Xi warmed up the medicine and brought it to her, with Manbao following behind her like a little tail.

Ms. Qian took the medicine and then noticed Manbao standing behind Zhou Xi. Old Zhou was reluctant to light the lamp, and even when he did, he would pinch the wick to dim it, so the room wasn't brightly lit.
