Chapter 2191: Curing The Masses
After leaving the temple, Ning Shu let out a long sigh of relief. If she didn’t have a home, then she’d make a home.
Ning Shu changed into men’s clothes and made a sign with the words ‘Curing the Masses’ written on it.
Anyway, she still had her medical skills to lean on, so she decided to become a traveling doctor.
She could travel around and see everything the world had to offer.
Wherever Ning Shu went, Jiang Chen went. He followed Ning Shu all around the world and even learned some medicinal skills and spells.
Ning Shu was a traveling doctor and most female doctors were responsible for delivering births. Although she wore men’s clothes, it was still obvious that she was a woman.
In ancient times, male doctors were less experienced at delivering children. Since Ning Shu knew both medical skills and was a woman, she naturally became the best candidate to help with childbirth.
In ancient times, women relied on just enduring the process of childbirth. If they could go through it successfully, then they went through it successfully. If they couldn’t, then it would often result in both the mother and child’s deaths.
Ning Shu had a great knowledge of medicine and could cure all kinds of illnesses, but she ended up becoming a gynecological specialist.
She even went to the palace to help the empress deliver her child.
Ning Shu simply changed her sign and replaced the words with ‘gynecological master.’
Ning Shu didn’t know how many places she’d traveled to and how much she’d seen.
She didn’t stay in one place for long because of Jiang Chen. If they stayed in one place for a long time, people would notice peculiarities that would give him away.
Ning Shu didn’t want a bunch of people from all over the world coming to chase and kill him.
Looking at Jiang Chen’s actions, he didn’t seem to want to leave her.
This was the best way to enjoy life. Ning Shu lived without constraints. She would dig herbs when she found them and would lay under the sky to watch the stars at night.
It was a pity that she didn’t have a camera. She could have taken selfies along the way and acted cool. Ning Shu was no longer that silly fatty from before. Although she wasn’t super thin, her body was healthy and well-proportioned.
Jiang Chen carried their belongings and a pole. Ning Shu didn’t carry anything and traveled around relaxed.
She counted the days. It would soon be time for her to leave this world.
Although there was some extra baggage in the form of Jiang Chen, in general, everything had already passed.
Jiang Chen became more and more like a person and the hands that were revealed were much whiter and not as green as before.
However, Jiang Chen still didn’t eat or drink and never took off his hat.
Ning Shu guessed that Jiang Chen would eventually resemble a regular human.
One morning, when Ning Shu opened the door to her house, she saw a man in blue clothes with black hair standing in front of the fence.
His presence caused the little yard in front of the house to shine.
The breeze blew the hem of his clothes and his hair gently swayed.
Just looking at his back created a beautiful scene.
Ning Shu stared at the handsome man. He turned around and addressed Ning Shu, “Fang Lanxin.”
“Pfff…” Ning Shu choked on her saliva. “Gu Rui?!”
Jiang Chen: …
“I’m Jiang Chen.” Jiang Chen stared at Ning Shu expressionlessly.
Ning Shu: …
“Why did you make yourself look like Gu Rui?” Ning Shu frowned.
Following Ning Shu’s example, Jiang Chen said in a shrill voice, “He had a regal disposition, was amazingly talented, and possessed a beautiful appearance like a hibiscus in bloom.”
Ning Shu: …
“Don’t, don’t use his face. I’m still traumatized.” Ning Shu covered her eyes. “You can look however you want.”
Jiang Chen put on his hat and asked, “Where are we going today?”
“A woman next door is about to give birth, probably in the next two days,” Ning Shu said.
Jiang Chen nodded.
The pregnant woman next door really started labor a day later and her husband came over to ask Ning Shu to help deliver the baby.
Ning Shu put the medicine box on her back and went to deliver the baby. The childbirth took a very long time, mainly because the child’s fetal position wasn’t correct.
Birthing conditions in ancient times were not very good. The process for cesarean birth was underdeveloped, there was no anesthetic, and it was easy for wounds to get infected. Besides, opening a hole in the abdomen was simply unacceptable to the ancients.
