As the two approached closer, Fu Yuling looked at them, her eyes falling on them.
He Xuan followed her gaze, and He Qiu quickly noticed Fu Yuling’s attention and started running towards her.
Seeing this, Fu Yuling watched him come closer.
Li Jian, who was following behind, also quickened his pace to keep up with the others.
They hadn’t finished their conversation just now.
Li Jian found himself increasingly admiring Fu Yuling. Not only was her medical skill impressive, but she could teach children so well too.
Thinking about this made Li Jian feel a pang of envy. If only his own father would agree to let him study medicine in the first place.
Reflecting on himself, he shed tears of sorrow and quickly pushed those negative thoughts away.
“How do you feel?”
This question was directed at Li Jian, as Fu Yuling was naturally looking at him.
For this, Li Jian felt a sense of satisfaction wash over him.
“Do you have any elders in your family who specifically study medicine?”
He began to doubt because these skills weren’t something that just anyone could learn.
That’s why he felt puzzled.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that this person didn’t seem to make a living from these skills but was more genuinely interested in them instead.
What made him cry was that even if others were interested, it was still better than his own profession.
Fu Yuling had no idea what he was thinking and shook her head and said, “I have no any elders who study medicine, it’s just an interest.”
Li Jian wanted to kick the person away. This person was really annoying!
And then, Fu Yuling truly walked away.
In an instant, Li Jian began to feel anxious. She really was leaving.
His hand brushed against the small porcelain bottle in his arms, and he hurriedly took it out to look at, treating it as if it were a treasure as he walked inside.
After leaving Li Jian, He Qiu tugged at Fu Yuling and asked, “What’s the last herb?”
Fu Yuling didn’t let go of his hand and continued walking.
“You’ll find out later, Xiao Qiu.”
“But I want to know now.”
“Some things are better left as surprises until the end. Can you wait, Xiao Qiu?”
Fu Yuling glanced back at him and kept walking.
He Qiu seemed to understand but was willing to wait.
Compared to He Qiu’s interest in the medicinal herbs, the preferences of the other three children were less obvious.
The school in the village was still under construction. Over the past few days, unfamiliar faces could be seen walking around, dressed and behaving differently from those in the village.
For some reason, the pace of the school’s construction had picked up significantly recently, and it would soon be tidy enough to open.
This time, Fu Yuling was determined to send them to school no matter what. The things she chose to teach them were all simplified for their understanding. She still wanted them to learn what they should at their age.
So, going to school during this stage was unavoidable.
The four children had no idea that Fu Yuling had plans to send them to school. They surrounded her, chatting excitedly.
Only He An seemed somewhat out of it. He pulled He Wen’s hand and moved forward like a soulless puppet.
He Wen noticed this and asked, “Xiao An, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
He An initially did not react. “That uncle…”
“Uncle?”
What uncle?
He Xuan was worried that He An might say something wrong and quickly pulled He An behind him. He said, “Xiao An is talking about the uncle selling candied hawthorns that we met on the road. Xiao An wants to eat some candied hawthorns.”
He An realized he had misspoken and quickly nodded in agreement.
