Chapter 170: A Doctor Comes Rolling In

Sui Sui tells He Shuran about her own former life.

Sui Sui subconsciously overlooks those hardships and picks the vivid, bright things in her memory to speak of.

He Shuran listens, and even the rate at which she blinks slows considerably.

She feels less discomfort in her body, and her mood relaxes a lot.

She is filled with yearning and anticipation for the world outside.

She thinks, people really must stay alive to have the chance to go out and see that unknown, vast world.

Because of her poor health, He Shuran does not particularly like to talk.

At this moment, not wanting Sui Sui to speak alone and feel too tired, she tries hard, thinking of her own dull and somewhat bland life, and picks as many interesting things as possible to tell Sui Sui.

"When the mother sheep gives birth to a lamb, it's so interesting—boom boom boom and the lamb is born!"

As night deepens, the meditation hall here gradually falls into quiet.

In the end they can only talk about embroidery, talk about jade…

Now, listening to He Shuran talk about these, Sui Sui listens especially attentively.

They're all things you've never heard of; be sure to listen carefully!

Sui Sui is indeed sleepy.

However, her health is poor, and she has indeed seen few things.

Even so, Sui Sui still listens especially earnestly.

In the old village, living creatures like chickens and ducks were relatively common; each household kept a few.

He Shuran, seeing her sister excited, speaks even more earnestly.

She recalls that before she could see clearly, the ewe had already finished giving birth.

But cattle and sheep are relatively valuable; regardless of whether families can afford to buy them, raising them is another issue.

Later, she will also tell those brand‑new stories to Sister Shuran.

Sui Sui gently clenches her little fist.

Although the child's interest remains high, Lady He has to interrupt her: "Xiao Shu, we should go back to sleep; little sister is sleepy."

Most people have slept; He Shuran's health is poor, and if it weren't for fearing to disturb the child's rare enthusiasm, Lady He should have spoken earlier to urge the child to rest.

She wants to hear stories; she also wants to become very skilled!

This is a rare chance for He Shuran to see a ewe giving birth; she didn't note much.

She thinks, Sister knows so much, how impressive!

She will definitely not go to bed early tonight.

Such a scene is unfamiliar to Sui Sui; everything must be imagined.

Now, seeing most people have rested, they also have to return.

A child's energy is limited; once the battery is drained, they fall asleep immediately.

Today Sui Sui went up the mountain again and listened to sutras, although she took a nap at noon.

But when the time comes, she still feels sleepy.

He Shuran, though reluctant, feels her own body fatigue; looking at Sui Sui's little head, it is already starting to droop bit by bit.

She also doesn't want her sister to be overworked, so she quickly nods obediently.

The mother and daughter bid farewell to Princess Consort of Qi and Sui Sui, then return to rest.

Although Sui Sui is sleepy, she still forces herself not to sleep now.

Washing and grooming in the temple aren't that convenient.

Therefore, Xiang Gugu simply gives Sui Sui a quick wash.

After changing clothes and letting her hair down, she then coaxes the little girl back onto the kang to sleep.

The temple has a simple large communal mat; if Sui Sui were to sleep on her own, she might roll around all night without finding a spot.

However, tonight, Princess Consort of Qi sleeps together with Sui Sui.

Aunt Qiu, uneasy, discusses with Princess Consort of Qi and then also sleeps here.

Aunt Qiu originally tried to make do with two chairs, but Princess Consort of Qi refused and let her sleep on the other side of the kang.

Princess Consort of Qi sleeps on the other side, sandwiching Sui Sui in the middle.

Thus, if the child has any trouble in the middle of the night, both of them can hear any movement.

Princess Consort of Qi arranges it this way, and Aunt Qiu does not refuse.

Everyone tidies up briefly and returns to the kang to sleep.

At first, Sui Sui indeed forces herself not to sleep, hoping to wait for Mother Consort and Aunt Qiu to sleep so she can hear stories.

The little girl, stubbornly keeping her eyes open in the dark night, looks both pitiful and amusing.

The system has no choice but to urge the child to sleep earlier, otherwise she won't grow tall!

When Sui Sui hears "won't grow tall", she is startled, instantly closes her eyes, and falls asleep within moments.

Princess Consort of Qi changes her spot, originally having some trouble falling asleep.

However, after hearing Sui Sui's steady breathing, she soon falls asleep as well.

The system assumes the little girl can stay awake until dawn.

In fact, she wakes up in the middle of the night.

She doesn't go to the clean room; she simply opens her eyes suddenly, then, in a dazed consciousness, asks, "Le Le, didn't you go over today?"

The system, which had been idle, is startled when it hears the voice, causing the data stream to flicker.

But it quickly recovers, and the voice snaps up, "Le Le is here, Sui Sui, didn't you go over today."

Hearing that she didn't go over, Sui Sui feels much relieved and promptly asks, "Then can I hear a story?"

The system kept speaking, "Of course, I can summon a lullaby master right now, okay?"

It's not certain whether the little girl is awake, but hearing something is better than nothing.

Kids, after all, need companionship more.

Sui Sui mumbled an answer, and the system began to summon someone.

The lullaby master summoned today is a grandma with graying hair, dressed in white robes.

The name on her head is rather long.

Sui Sui glanced and didn't recognize it.

The system glanced, recognized it, but didn't understand.

"No mango, no fire."

I mean, this name is quite long.

Looking again, the kind grandma is also wearing a white lab coat.

The system deduced that she must be a Doctor.

Doctor Xu looked at the username she had casually chosen and was very satisfied.

Although this name was of no use at all while she was alive.

Whenever her night shift started, she would be busy as a whirlwind!

But after dying, in the Netherworld…

Hey!

Now she's idle!

The Netherworld crowd… oh no, the ghosts, they're very resilient.

Fractures and the like are just minor injuries, not needing treatment at all.

So, she's bored to death, yet her treatment is superb.

Because you shouldn't offend anyone, especially a Doctor with good medical skill~

Today she took another side job; looking at Sui Sui's sleepy eyes under the system's faint glow, Doctor Xu smiled and said, "Hello Sui Sui, I'm the grandma telling you a story today; my surname is Xu."

Although Sui Sui is sleepy, she still politely greets, "Hello Grandma Xu, I am Sui Sui."

Doctor Xu nodded, smiled, and asked, "What story would you like to hear, Sui Sui?"

Sui Sui: "Is this an ancient world now?"

Sui Sui: "What does the ancient world need?"

Sui Sui: "Penicillin? That's a bit hard, I don't understand it yet; maybe later. Garlic extract is quick and convenient, also useful—do you want to hear about it?"

Sui Sui: …

She didn't understand what "something" was either.

However, Le Le whispered an explanation to her earlier: this Grandma Xu was a very skilled Doctor when she was alive.

A Doctor is the same as a Doctor.

Doctor!

Thinking of Sister Shuran's illness, Sui Sui asked uncertainly, "Grandma Xu, can you help save Sister Shuran?"
