Chapter 352: Found You a Successor
The child burst out crying again. Ning Shu was a bit tired from walking, so she took off the bamboo basket to sit down next to the child until he stopped crying.
The child probably became less scared because he was no longer alone, because after a while, he stopped crying and said, “Aunt, I can’t find my daddy or mommy.”
“Call me big sister. I’m not that old.” Ning Shu lifted her brows as she scrutinized him. The child hastily cried, “Big Sister, I can’t find my parents.”
“Where are your parents?” asked Ning Shu. “You couldn’t be some mountain spirit, right?”
“Aaah! Big Sister, don’t scared me. Are you a mountain spirit?” The child edged backwards fearfully.
Ning Shu asked the kid about his parents again and he finally gave her the complete story while sobbing. During a family outing, they had encountered bandits, so his parents went to lead away the bandits. They had the kid wait here, but the kid had already waited here for two days and there was no sight of them.
Ning Shu gave him some steamed buns. “Did you get the place wrong? Maybe this isn’t the place your parents told you to go.”
“It’s not wrong. My dad said so, it’s a place two thousand meters along this road.” The child replied confidently.
Ning Shu felt dizzy. A kid this tiny knew how far two thousand meters was? “Are you sure you didn’t get the place wrong?”
The child started taking big bites of the steamed bun even as tears streamed down his cheeks. “It’s the right place.”
Ning Shu stood up and dusted off her butt. “Then you can keep waiting. I’ll be leaving now.”
The child hastily grabbed Ning Shu’s sleeve and cried, “Big Sister, don’t go.”
Ning Shu: …
She couldn’t come up with any other idea, so she brought the child back to the bamboo house for the time being.
When the godly doctor saw that the person who had gone out alone returned with an extra, he looked towards her coldly. “Explain.”
His expression seemed like that of a husband who had just caught his wife cheating. Of course, Ning Shu was just overthinking things.
The child ducked behind Ning Shu and peeked at the icy-mannered godly doctor. He pressed his lips together nervously and looked as if he was about to cry again.
Ning Shu gave a very simple explanation of where this child came from and ended with: “If something really has happened to this child’s parents, this child might have to stay with us. That means I’ve found you a successor.”
“He’s a boy.” As Ning Shu spoke, she pulled down the boy’s pants to show proof.
The child cried as he pulled up his pants, “I really am a boy!”
“See? I’ve found you a successor. You’ll have someone to pass your legacy to now,” said Ning Shu with a smile.
