Chapter 948: Nothing Special to Look At
The only things near this place were mountains. There were no people living here at all, so what was she supposed to do with this child? There was no way she could walk out of the mountains to look for a family that was willing to take this child.
One was still waiting for her. There wasn’t enough time.
F*ck. How were things so hard?
Furthermore, the fake death drug was about to wear off. Ning Shu was very on edge as she continued to chew herbs and press them on the child’s wound.
However, the wound had finally stopped bleeding. She shoved a fasting pill into the child’s mouth. The fasting pill dissolved into a warm current and flowed into the child’s mouth.
Ning Shu didn’t know what to do with the child. Could it be that she had to just leave him here? He’d definitely end up being taken by a wild animal and eaten. In that case, after all her effort, he’d still end up dead.
Sigh. Ning Shu picked up the child and jumped up into the tree branches to look down on the forest. She saw a female wolf past by beneath the tree. There were a couple small wolves following the mother wolf.
An idea formed. She silently stole a small wolf and made the swaddling clothes and child have the smell of the wolf, then she followed the wolves back to their cave.
All she could do was try. She didn’t know if this female wolf was willing to take care of this child.
She fed the child fever and inflammation medicine. Once the mother wolf left, she placed the child into the cave and watched from close by. If the mother wolf tried to hurt the child, she could only kill the wolf.
When the mother wolf came back and saw that there was an unidentifiable object in the cave, it started sniffing at the swaddling clothes and even tried biting it.
However, it didn’t look like it planned to eat the child.
Ning Shu waited for another while. When she saw that the mother wolf ignored the child without trying to hurt him, she sighed in relief.
This was all that she could do.
Since it had been quite a while, she started to head back.
When she got back to the cave, she saw that One was waiting for her. He gave her an outfit and told her to wash up in preparation for heading to the capital to see Master.
Ning Shu took the clothes and headed to a small creek to bath before putting on the clothes. One had given her a set of female martial arts clothing that fit well.
She used rope to tie her hair up in a ponytail, then bent over to look at the surface of the water. She was wondering what the original host looked like.
Very ordinary, nothing special to look at. All her features were ordinary.
If she was in a crowd, she wouldn’t stand out at all.
After tidying herself up, she returned to the cave. One started leading her towards the capital. It took over half the day just to get out of this forest.
Ning Shu was glad now that she hadn’t attempted to bring the child out of the forest to find people, otherwise it would’ve taken forever.
After getting out of the forest, Ning Shu saw that there was a person by the road with two horses. When he saw One and Ning Shu coming over, he gave the horses to One.
One gave one of the horses to Ning Shu, then the two of them started riding in the direction of the capital.
Once they got to the city entrance, One got off the horse. When he saw that Ning Shu was still on the horse, he said coldly, “Get down. Don’t ride the horse into the city, it’ll attract attention.”
Ning Shu got off the horse and followed him into the city.
The city was very flourishing. There were all sorts of shops and vendor stands. The people on the streets were also dressed rather tastefully.
Ning Shu hugged her sword as she followed One to the third prince’s residence. She entered through the back courtyard.
Weren’t they being a little way too careful?
However, she silently noted all of these details down.
The housekeeper notified One and Ning Shu that the third prince was currently meeting with a guest, so they should wait for a bit.
One turned around to ask Ning Shu, “Do you know how to salute the master?”
Cupping the fist or bending the knee or directly dropping to a kneel on the ground? Ning Shu shook her head. No idea.
“Kneel on one knee and cup the fist,” said One.
Wasn’t that the posture for proposing marriage?
The housekeeper came out to have Ning Shu go in. One didn’t enter and had Ning Shu enter on her own.
Ning Shu fixed her clothes, then walked into the room.
Shoot, she was actually a little nervous.
The moment she walked into the room, she saw that there was a man and a woman by the table. They seemed to be drawing something.
When she saw these two, she felt like her eyes were being healed, because these two people were seriously too good-looking.
The woman was leaning on the table, her waist slightly curved as she propped up her chin to watch the man draw.
It was practically like a celestial couple on earth.
