Chapter 225: All-purpose Spiritual Water
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Grandma Qin drew upon her own life experience to advise Qin Zhenzhen not to antagonize individuals of significant influence when her own power was insufficient. Qin Zhenzhen nodded in response, assuring her grandmother, “Rest assured, Grandma, I’m well aware of how to navigate this.”
In a sudden reflective moment, Qin Zhenzhen inquired, “Grandma, what caused your blindness?”
Although Grandma Qin’s eyes seemed intact, her vision had been utterly obscured. She recounted, “I was blinded by poison. They bound me to a chair, forcibly held my eyes open, and administered a special potion that continually dripped into my eye sockets, rendering me sightless.”
A shiver ran through Grandma Qin as she recollected the agony of that ordeal. Qin Zhenzhen remarked, “I recall that you still experience occasional discomfort in your eyes, don’t you?”
Grandma Qin affirmed with a nod, saying, “Yes, the pain does resurface at times. I often wonder what sort of poison they used.”
Qin Zhenzhen conceived of an idea – she was determined to see if the mystical water on her fingers could somehow restore her grandmother’s sight. The thought brought her joy; not only would it bring happiness to her grandmother, but it could also serve as evidence to the Jiang Family of her exceptional medical prowess – demonstrated by curing her grandmother, who had endured blindness for over four decades.
Initiating her plan, Qin Zhenzhen began fabricating a story, saying, “Grandma, during my spirit journeys, I learned an eye-massage technique. Allow me to attempt it; it might alleviate the occasional pain.”
Grandma Qin dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand, stating, “It’s implausible. It’s been so many years.”
Seeking to persuade her grandmother, Qin Zhenzhen persisted, “Just grant me an opportunity to try. Should it succeed, we can continue; if not, we can discard the attempt. It won’t be bothersome either way.”
With a nod of agreement, Grandma Qin acceded to the plan.
Secretly implementing a set of eye massage techniques she was familiar with, Qin Zhenzhen surreptitiously introduced drops of the mystical water into her grandmother’s eyes.
“Grandma, do you experience any relief?”
Grandma Qin appeared to be relishing the sensation. “This is wonderful, though I sense a peculiar sensation within my eyes. It’s remarkably soothing.”
Despite her eyes being moist, there was an absence of tears – a state she hadn’t experienced in over four decades.
Qin Zhenzhen feigned astonishment. “Grandma, are your eyes moist? If that’s the case, then it’s working!”
Grandma Qin displayed happiness, albeit with a subdued excitement. “It’s truly soothing. Should you find it convenient, you could administer the massage whenever you have the time.”
The experience had a touch of magic to it; upon completion, the dryness that had persisted in her eyes was vanquished.
Yet, Grandma Qin’s longing remained veiled — her thoughts fixated on regaining her ability to perceive light.
Qin Zhenzhen’s smile conveyed her intention. “Then I’ll visit tomorrow for another session. If the outcomes remain positive, I’ll accompany you to the prefecture and conduct these massages regularly.”
Grandma Qin reciprocated the smile, though she posed a question, “Are you jesting?”
Qin Zhenzhen’s tone turned earnest. “Not in the least; I’m wholeheartedly committed.”
“We’ve acquired a residence in the prefectural city – a spacious abode with eight rooms and a courtyard. Your comfort is assured.”
“In a few days, we’re headed to the prefecture. Su Bin’s enrolling there for his studies, while Fourth Brother and I are establishing a workshop for crafting seasonings and soy sauce.”
“Grandma, you’ve remained within Qin Village for over four decades. Since Grandpa’s passing, you’ve scarcely ventured beyond our home. I’ve yearned to take you outdoors for a leisurely stroll.”
Touched by Qin Zhenzhen’s sentiments, Grandma Qin’s emotions stirred.
“Give me some time to contemplate.”
“Absolutely. I’ll be back to massage you tomorrow.”
Qin Zhenzhen’s heart swelled with delight. It appeared that the mystical water on her fingertips held boundless power.
With steadfast determination, she held the belief that through her persistence, her grandmother would eventually regain the gift of sight.
The prospect of Grandma’s restored vision also carried a weighty implication the Jiang Family would face a profound humiliation..
