Ning Shu looked towards the godly doctor with pity. The godly doctor ignored Ning Shu’s gaze and asked, “How are you supposed to cure this sort of illness?”
“It’s a terminal illness, it’s incurable,” answered Ning Shu reflexively.
The godly doctor looked at her, so she hastily changed her words. “No, what I mean is that this sort of illness is hard to get rid of completely. However, by maintaining good health habits and being careful not to get stirred up, the patient would be able to live almost like an ordinary person.”
“What kind of medicine should be taken?” asked the godly doctor coldly.
Ning Shu replied, “Dissolve a heart-nourishing pill in water and drink it.”
“What is a heart-nourishing pill made from?” The godly doctor continued asking.
Ning Shu carefully answered the godly doctor’s questions. In the end, he shook his head and said, “You don’t meet the standards. You don’t have the qualifications to inherit my legacy. I don’t want to end up passing the things that my master had given me into the hands of someone like you.”
What was wrong with her?
“Master? What’s the problem with me?” asked Ning Shu. “How do I fail to meet the qualifications? Whatever it is, I can change it? I think I’m still salvageable, please just give another prompt.”
The godly doctor said mildly, “You’re a woman.”
What kind of reason was this? That was gender discrimination! Alright, fine, this reason was too strong, she didn’t even know how to refute.
After finding out that the godly doctor had a heart defect, she didn’t dare to mess with him anymore. She decided to make some heart-nourishing pills for him. She felt that he treated her quite well, so she should also treat him a little better. It was her motto to respond to grace and grudges in kind.
The rarest ingredient in a heart-nourishing pill was ginseng. Ginseng had always been used in medicine to strengthen a person’s vitals, so Ning Shu strapped a bamboo basket to her back in preparation to try her luck on the mountain and see if she could get any ginseng. She was aware that this trip might be in vain because there was no way it would be that easy to get ginseng.
However, she didn’t even have a cent on her and she had lost contact with the hidden guard and Yue Lan. Fortunately, she had given half of her possessions to Yue Lan, so the hidden guard and Yue Lan would probably be fine. She just didn’t know when they would meet up again.
“Where are you going?” asked the godly doctor when he saw that Ning Shu was carrying a bamboo basket.
Ning Shu said, “I’m going to collect herbs on the mountain.”
He didn’t say anything in reply. When Ning Shu was quite far away, he said coldly, “Be careful.”
Ning Shu was surprised for a moment, then she smiled and replied, “Got it.”
Ning Shu wandered around the mountain using a stick to push aside the brambles before squatting down to check for ginseng. In all honesty, she herself wasn’t sure that she could find ginseng. This little thing was way too rare. Even now, when she recalled how she had generously given He Dahua’s old man a ginseng, her heart would tremble from the pain.
Wen Ruhua has probably already stolen that ginseng by now.
After she got hungry, she pulled out a cornbread to eat. The result was as expected, she didn’t find any trace of a ginseng. However, she had gotten some other herbs so it wasn’t a fruitless endeavor.
Ning Shu decided that in the future, she definitely had to add all her attribute points to luck. It sucked to be unlucky, it wasted too much time.
When Ning Shu got back to the bamboo house, it was almost dark. The godly doctor was actually standing by the door waiting for her.
When she saw the person dressed in white in the dark night, she suddenly felt very moved. This was the first time that she had felt such an emotion towards a male lead ever since she came to this world.
This emotion had nothing to do with love. It was just, it was actually possible to interact with another person in such a calm, peaceful way. There was no need for intense hysteria or hurt, it was just a quiet soothing relationship. Was it not beautiful?
