Chapter 345: Chapter 343: Obtaining the Medical Canon 6_1

And the fabric of the clothes looked quite fine, something likely worn by the wealthy.

After touching the clothes, Xia Ningxing’s gaze fell upon the dressing table not far away.

Indeed, there was a dressing table. It was very old, covered in what seemed to be three centimeters of dust. The legs of the table were crooked as if they might collapse at any moment.

There were several drawers beneath the table.

Xia Ningxing was so hungry she couldn’t take it anymore and thought she might find something to eat, so she pulled open a drawer.

The first drawer was empty.

She continued and found the second one empty as well.

When she opened the third drawer without much hope, to her surprise, she found something inside!

But it wasn’t food; it was a notebook...

Xia Ningxing couldn’t resist her curiosity and opened it to take a look. Perhaps because it had been well-protected inside the drawer, the pages were only slightly yellowed, and the handwriting had not faded.

Written with a black carbon pen, the handwriting was elegant and graceful.

Upon seeing this familiar handwriting, Xia Ningxing’s pupils dilated in disbelief. It was as if she had discovered some incredible secret; her hand holding the notebook was trembling.

This handwriting!

This handwriting was unmistakably her mother’s!

And by "mother" she didn’t mean the mother of her current body, but her real mother in the real world!

Xia Ningxing, unable to believe the notebook in her hands, could not help but have her fingers tremble slightly.

She had been abandoned in the hospital by this woman shortly after she was born, and was then sent to the orphanage. A diary came with her, inside of which were scribbles from her mother during pregnancy.

Whenever she was called a wild child without a mother at school, she would take out the diary and look through it over and over again.

That’s why she had committed her mother’s handwriting to heart long ago!

But there were two things Xia Ningxing didn’t understand. First, why was her handwriting in this world? And second, she had clearly written in the diary how happy she was about her arrival, so why did she cruelly abandon her in the end?

What exactly had happened?

The main reason she became an actress in the first place was that actresses get a lot of exposure, and she thought it might help her find her parents.

Yet, over the years, many had impersonated her parents; the real ones had never once appeared, as if they didn’t exist in that world at all.

But now, why was there her biological mother’s handwriting in this novel’s world?

Could it be that her real mother was also a character in the novel?

Then why did she give birth to her in the real world?

What in the world was going on?

Xia Ningxing clutched the notebook tightly, trying to make sense of it all for a long time without any conclusion.

However, the mother in the real world she had never met was no longer important to her.

In the past, she had stubbornly wanted to find her parents, but now, she didn’t want to. Not anymore.

Now, she had a father and a mother. Lin Lan would be her mother for her whole life, and Xia Jiehao would be her father for life. As for the past, she would let it drift away with the wind.

She wouldn’t hold a grudge against that woman either, for without love, there was no hate.

Xia Ningxing was unaware that somewhere in this world, a mother spent her days in tears, missing her day and night.

Then, Xia Ningxing bowed her head and flipped through the notebook in her hands.

It was a handwritten medical book.

It recorded a lot of the author’s medical experiences, including a unique life-saving acupuncture technique.

"If I learn this acupuncture technique, then as long as there’s still a breath, I can save them..."

Since I can’t leave anyway, Xia Ningxing decided to quiet her mind and began to read.

As for hunger, she had no choice but to quench it with water, but fortunately, Xia Ningxing found some canned food in the cellar.

Perhaps because they were stored in the cellar, or because of the climate here, the cans had not spoiled despite many years.

Xia Ningxing opened them, eating while reading the medical text.

The woman who wrote this medical text must have been incredibly meticulous, noting each step very clearly.

It seemed straightforward and easy to understand.

Yet Xia Ningxing didn’t realize that this acupuncture technique was something few in that woman’s direct lineage could learn, let alone that it was straightforward and easy to understand. It was the innate talent within her...

It wasn’t until the afternoon that the torrential rain finally stopped.

Xia Ningxing stretched lazily, having memorized the content of the medical text by heart.

Afterward, she put the medical text back in its place, exactly as it was before.

And although she wasn’t particularly skilled in medicine, she could sense that the techniques recorded here were exceptionally secret and not to be shared with outsiders.

Who knows, the owner might come back for it someday.

Before leaving, Xia Ningxing looked back at Wu Wenwen, who still bore the expression of someone who had died with grievances.

After a glance, Xia Ningxing withdrew her gaze and went on her way.

To be honest, even though Wu Wenwen had tried to kill her many times, Xia Ningxing had never thought of killing her in return. At most, she would subdue her and hand her over to the authorities.

Who would have thought that in the end, she would accidentally bring about her own death.

How absurd!

The sun had already come out, and Xia Ningxing squinted her eyes, judging her position before heading to the left. As long as she kept going in this direction, she would be able to return to Sun Primary School.

She just didn’t know what time it was now, and Xia Ningxing subconsciously looked down at her wristwatch, only to find her wrist bare.

The watch was gone!

Xia Ningxing quickly searched on herself, but the watch was nowhere to be found.

Just as she thought about going back to look for it, she abruptly remembered that her watch was already missing when she climbed out of the river.

By now, it might have been washed away by the water.

The thought of losing something Lu had given her made Xia Ningxing feel like flogging Wu Wenwen’s corpse.

But as much as she thought about it, Xia Ningxing wouldn’t really do that.

At the same moment...

Lu Tingli and Mrs. Xia, among others, were searching for her everywhere.

They had arrived early this morning. Despite the downpour, no one had slept a wink, not even Tuanzi, who at seven or eight years of age, stubbornly put on his raincoat and boots to search for Xia Ningxing with the others in the heavy rain.

Calling out again and again, the hope in their voices gradually turned into despair.

With Xia Ningxing missing for two days and a night, everyone was frantic, like ants on a hot pan.

Growing increasingly desperate, they still hadn’t found any clues.

Until...

"This is the watch I gave to Baby Xing!"

Lu Tingli spotted the glinting watch in the grass, and his sleepless, bloodshot eyes suddenly burst with excitement.
