Chapter 2445: Why Not Visit White Cloud Temple?
Without women, men would all have gay sex.
Ning Shu continued to drive the cow. When the child was hungry, she would stop to milk the cow, make a fire to boil the milk, and then feed it to the child when it cooled down a bit.
Ning Shu was originally thinking about visiting her maternal family, but she immediately gave up on the idea.
What was the point of going back?
She accepted that she needed to go someplace else.
Ning Shu suddenly thought of the old Taoist priest. Why not visit White Cloud Temple?
Otherwise, how could she pay the old Taoist back for how he ‘took care’ of her?
However, White Cloud Temple was a ways away. Ning Shu decided to slowly walk towards White Cloud Temple.
There was a village at the foot of White Cloud Temple and it was peaceful and quiet.
Ning Shu practiced medicine along the way. Before she knew it, she had accumulated some savings.
By the time Ning Shu reached the foot of the mountain where White Cloud Temple was, over two months had passed.
Under Ning Shu’s care and feeding, the child had already become white and delicate and could open her eyes to look at Ning Shu.
She laughed involuntarily.
Ning Shu entered the village and found lodging with a family.
On the way, she made up a backstory for herself. Her husband was a doctor, but he was killed by bandits.
In addition to that, her village had flooded and she had to leave her hometown.
Ning Shu also specifically said that she had some medical expertise in treating the diseases of women and delivering babies.
The master of the house sympathized with Ning Shu at first. After hearing that Ning Shu could cure gynecological diseases, Ning Shu was immediately asked to examine the lady of the house.
Ning Shu felt the woman’s pulse, wrote a prescription for some medicinal herbs from the fields, and asked them to boil them in water after picking them.
Ning Shu saw that the village had a small population and was surrounded by mountains. On the mountain, White Cloud Temple could be seen, which made the place seem like it was being reflected by a hero’s glory.
Ning Shu planned to settle here and raise the child.
Ning Shu didn’t know whether Liu Xiaoya would resent her for adopting a child.
She also didn’t know if Liu Xiaoya would remarry. If she remarried, it would be quite awkward for the child.
If Liu Xiaoya chose not to marry, it would also be good to have a child beside her.
The most important thing was that Ning Shu didn’t know to whom to entrust this child.
Why was she always given a child to care for?
Ning Shu didn’t want to raise children.
However, right now, the child had already been shoved into her hands.
Ning Shu chose a name for the child: Liu Zhenzhen.
The name came from the Book of Poetry, “Tao Yao”, where it was written, ‘The peach trees are flourishing and the leaves are lush.’ This name signified prosperity and abundance.
Ning Shu looked for the village head and asked him to grant her a piece of land to build a house. Of course, she would pay for the land.
Ning Shu acted like it was very difficult for her to gather enough money and took two days to gather money before handing it over.
Most of the people in the village lived in thatched houses. Ning Shu also built a thatched house. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Act humble so that you could blend in.
In less than a day, Ning Shu’s story had spread all over the village, saying that she had lost her husband and was taking care of her child by herself as well…
Ning Shu listened to these conversations. Most people sympathized with Ning Shu, but some people said that widows were ominous.
Ning Shu turned a blind eye to those words. Her husband was dead. Not just dead, but truly dead as a doornail.
Ning Shu asked people in the village for help in building a house and said that she would pay them a wage.
After hearing that Ning Shu had medical skills, everyone became very proactive. After all, no one could guarantee that they wouldn’t get sick.
Since this place was a little far from town, it wasn’t easy to look for a doctor.
After a few days of labor, the thatched house was built. Ning Shu was afraid of rain leakage and specifically asked them to thicken the thatch on the roof.
The house was built, but the rooms were empty. Ning Shu asked the carpenters in the village to make a simple bed and tables.
