Chapter 351: Humans Lived for Good Food

Ning Shu walked to the G.o.dly doctor and asked with a smile, “Master, were you waiting for me?”

The G.o.dly doctor replied coldly, “No.”

Ning Shu didn’t mind and just asked, “Master, have you eaten?”

The G.o.dly doctor didn’t reply. After Ning Shu took off the bamboo basket on her back, he said mildly, “There’s some food on the table.”

The moment Ning Shu walked into the house, she saw that there were greens, meat, and even white steamed buns on the table. Saliva immediately filled her mouth and she cried out in pleasant surprise, “Master, are these all for me?”

“This was brought by a villager today. I’ve already eaten, these are the leftovers.” After saying this, the G.o.dly doctor headed to the courtyard to tend to the herbs.

Ning Shu didn’t care whether or not the G.o.dly doctor had already eaten and hastily sat down to start eating. After eating cornbread for such a long time, she felt very blessed to finally have meat again.

Humans lived for good food.

After Ning Shu finished eating, the G.o.dly doctor quizzed her again on herbs and prescriptions. Then he asked, “What medicinal ingredient were you looking for?”

“Have you found it?” he asked. “You should look for medicinal ingredients by taking into consideration their special traits rather than running randomly through the mountain.”

Ning Shu looked at the G.o.dly doctor curiously. “Master, how do you know that I ran all over the mountain?”

The G.o.dly doctor looked at her coldly. “Some of the plants you collected prefer shade while others prefer sunny areas. There were even a few that only grows near water.”

“You haven’t done enough homework.” The G.o.dly doctor furrowed his brows.

Fudge, he really was a very detailed person. If he ever decided to give up being a G.o.dly doctor, he could become a G.o.dly detective. Ning Shu felt that she really should study earnestly and humbly learn from the G.o.dly doctor.

“This apprentice will carefully remember all of Master’s teachings,” said Ning Shu earnestly. “In the future, this apprentice will become a first generation female G.o.dly doctor!”

The G.o.dly doctor looked at her as if she was mentally ill, then entered his room without a word.

The next day, Ning Shu prepared to search the mountain again. The G.o.dly doctor asked coldly, “What exactly are you looking for? It’s not safe for a woman to be on the mountain by herself. Just tell me what it is and I’ll have someone get it for you.”

Ning Shu said with a smile, “It’s fine. I’ll try again one more time today. If I can’t find it, I’ll give up.”

The G.o.dly doctor silently headed back in.

Ning Shu entered the mountain again with a bamboo basket to continue looking for ginseng. It was said that ginseng could run away. Ning Shu felt like all the ginseng on the mountain were running away from her.

After a day of searching, she finally found a ginseng that was quite old. If this was made into a heart-nouris.h.i.+ng pill, it’d be enough for the G.o.dly doctor to use for a long time. Ning Shu felt that the G.o.dly doctor was very poor and didn’t have any money at all since all the villagers that came to him for treatment paid him in local specialties.

She usually didn’t see the G.o.dly doctor eating any medicine either. All he did to treat himself was do acupuncture from time to time, so she couldn’t help but find him pitiful.

Thus, she squatted down and started digging up the ginseng. Just this process took like half the day. It was important to dig out all of the ginseng’s root without damaging its skin.

When she finally got it out, she found that it was about as thick as her finger. If she sold this, it’d probably go for quite a sum.

She carefully tied it up with a red string, then wrapped it up and prepared to head back.

On the way back, she heard the faint sounds of a child crying. She immediately got gooseb.u.mps. It couldn’t be a ghost, right?

She started walking even faster, but the child’s voice only got louder. The child was probably nearby.

To go, or not to go?

Ning Shu shook her head. It was best not to go. Curiosity killed the cat.

However, she kept hearing the child’s cries and he was even crying out for his mother.

In the end, she decided to go see what was up. What was there to be afraid of after all? She was the female lead, there was no way anything would happen to her.

She walked in the direction of the sound and eventually found a child in dirty clothing crying on the road.

She walked over and coughed softly. That child seemed startled and whirled around to look at Ning Shu fearfully. He was sobbing so hard that he kept hiccuping.

“Are you a bad person that’s here to catch me?” asked the child.

Ning Shu rolled her eyes. “Have you ever seen a bad person as beautiful as me? Don’t be scared, I’m not a bad person. Little friend, what are you doing here by yourself?”
