Chapter 353: Children From Wealthy Families Always Matured Early

The godly doctor had a naturally cold face. Even when facing a little kid, there was not much expression on his face.

According to normal logic, after Ning Shu found a successor for him, he should’ve at least spoken a few words of concern to the child even half-heartedly, but nah.

Like this, the child settled in the bamboo house. Everything related to taking care of the child landed on Ning Shu’s shoulders. Ning Shu became very vexed, kids and the like were always the most troublesome.

When she had finally washed the child clean, he said that he was scared and insisted on sleeping with Ning Shu. Ning Shu immediately expressed that she was completely pure and clean, there was no way she could sleep with a man. Although this child was only about five, he was still a man.

The godly doctor said nothing in response to Ning Shu’s heartless gesture and just asked, “Have you found the ingredient you were looking for?”

Oh, that was right! Due to this kid, she had forgotten that she managed to get ginseng. She quickly pulled the ginseng out of the bamboo basket and said, “Look! I found ginseng. I’ll make heart-nourishing pills for you soon.”

The godly doctor said coldly, “Those things are useless on me. There’s no need to make that, it’ll be a waste of a quality ingredient.”

“How could it be useless? Isn’t it your heart that’s problematic? If you just nourish it properly, you’ll be fine,” said Ning Shu. “This is the ginseng that I had specially found for you.”

The godly doctor glanced at the ginseng she was holding, then said, “This ginseng is pretty good, but you didn’t pay attention to its formation while you were digging. Some parts of its skin has been damaged.”

“That’s why I’m always having you observe and learn carefully, lest you ruin everything good that you come across.” The godly doctor seemed slightly frustrated with Ning Shu’s lack of progress.

However, Ning Shu just responded easily, “It’s fine. I’m going to make it into heart-nourishing pills right away. It’s not like I’m going to sell it, so there’s no need to worry about the quality.”

The godly doctor said coldly, “Regardless of whether it’s being sold or not, it’s still extremely important to maintain the quality of the medicinal ingredient so that its properties remain as potent as possible. You’ve ruined some of the medicinal properties, it’s not something as simple as a question of quality.”

Ning Shu hastily nodded. “I got it. I’ll definitely pay attention in the future.”

Ning Shu had the thickest face skin that the godly doctor had ever seen. It was like she wouldn’t get angry no matter what you said to her. No matter how stern he was towards her, she never took it to heart. However, was it because she was big-hearted, or that she was heartless?

The next day, due to the little kid’s imploration, Ning Shu went off with him to find his parents. She didn’t plan to go far though, she just planned to look around.

Originally, the godly doctor wanted to go as well, but Ning Shu dissuaded him. With his condition, it would be best to avoid strenuous activities.

The little boy was actually quite smart and started searching along the path he had ran on earlier. In the end, they discovered two corpses in a forest. The corpses had been tormented beyond recognition, and the woman didn’t have a single garment on her. It was clear with a look what she had encountered before she died.

The little boy gritted his teeth and forced back his sobs as he moved to dress his mother. Afterwards, he turned towards Ning Shu and said, “Big Sister, I want to cremate my parents.”

Ning Shu was a little astonished. People in the ancient era had always believed that only those that were buried would be able to rest in peace, so why did this little kid want to cremate his parents?

“I want to carry their ashes with me.” The boy was clenching his teeth so hard his cheeks were trembling.

“Alright.” Ning Shu nodded towards him.

The boy lit the burial flame himself, then later gathered the ashes in a jug and carried it in his arms.

Ning Shu asked, “What do you plan to do in the future? Do you have any other relatives? If you don’t, just become my master’s disciple and learn medicine.”

“I do have relatives, but those people can’t count as relatives. They’ll probably be happy to hear that my father has met with an accident. I won’t go back.” The boy shook his head. Although his face was childish, his words were not childish at all.

Children from wealthy families always matured early.
