Chapter 2463: A Perfect Way to Solve This Issue
Ning Shu asked the high priest, “Have you guys never tried to find a way so you guys can live naturally under the sun?”
Ning Shu was still pining for the barrier stone in the ancestral shrine. It would be great if there was a perfect way to solve this issue.
If she had a barrier stone, the world she was going to build would be much stronger and more durable.
The high priest said, “We are looking for solutions. We’ll apply herbs when we go out.”
Ning Shu: …
“I mean, is there a possibility that this situation is just self-hypnosis and that you’re actually able to go into the sun?” Ning Shu spread her hands out.
The high priest shook his head. “Our ancestors already tested that out. They placed a child that was only a few months old under the sun, but the child still died in the end. Such a small child wouldn’t have developed intellect yet. It wasn’t like adults who had fear and emotions, but it still died.”
Ning Shu: … ……
If it was a child with no existing issues, then it could only be a natural problem.
Ning Shu swallowed. Her heart felt stifled. “Have you found the cause after so many years?”
“No,” the high priest said. “But we found that there are some herbs that can temporarily protect us from the sun.”
Ning Shu heavily rolled her eyes.
No, I refuse to accept…
Whenever Ning Shu passed the ancestral shrine, she couldn’t help hammering at her chest.
There was absolutely no means to obtain the stone. The villagers were inseparable from this thing.
This was a very dangerous thing, like a child walking through busy streets while holding a gold coin.
Forget about the people who didn’t know what it was, if they were to encounter someone who did know what it was–such as Xuan Yuanhao–someone who had authority, influence, and military strength, they would rob them and the villagers would only be able to watch.
However, these people had survived for so long, so they probably had some countermeasures.
Zhenzhen’s height shot up rapidly and her clothes quickly became too small.
Although the village had no fancy clothes or jewelry, food was abundant.
Zhenzhen’s food was really good with all kinds of game and mountain delicacies.
Ning Shu would cook cow’s milk, and also cook the mushrooms given by the villagers with meat and give them to Zhenzhen to eat.
In addition to that, she would occasionally inject some spiritual energy into Zhenzhen’s body.
Zhenzhen grew up plump and fair. Ning Shu tied her pigtails with red string and her loveliness only increased. Wherever they went, aunties and wives would hold and pinch her.
There were also some little boys who would surround Zhenzhen every day and help Ning Shu look after her.
Ning Shu: →_ →
They were all little demons with ulterior motives…
Now Zhenzhen could babble and call Ning Shu ‘mother’.
A villager saw that Zhenzhen’s clothes were too small and gave some old clothes to Ning Shu, saying that she should alter the clothes to fit Zhenzhen.
Ning Shu didn’t accept it since cloth was very valuable in this village because the people couldn’t leave the village. In addition to shunning the world, no merchants knew about the place and so they wouldn’t go there to sell things.
Even if merchants were able to get to the village, the villagers had no money.
Ning Shu could go to town to buy some things, but it was very far away. It would take two to three days to go and come back.
Ning Shu decided to go buy some cloth to make clothes for Zhenzhen.
People in the village asked Ning Shu to buy some things for them. After all, they couldn’t go out for too long.
Ning Shu agreed to all of the requests.
Ning Shu first went to the pharmacy to sell some ginseng. The money she got from selling it would be spent on shopping.
After she finished buying everything, she planned to go back to the village.
