Just as Scarlett Jennings said, children born with the Child Life have Spirit Roots and innate Wisdom, making them more precocious than ordinary children.
When Kingston Jennings was three years old, he already knew he was born with the Child Life.
It was his aunt who told him.
She explained to him what Child Life was, secretly created a surrogate child for him, and showed him how to use the surrogate child to ward off illnesses and misfortunes.
For a while, he really lived like a healthy, ordinary child.
But sometimes, in order to keep his aunt's attention, he would pretend to be sick.
His aunt, though she knew, never scolded him. Instead, she would play along, even teaching him some strange and curious things in private.
Kingston didn't know why his aunt knew these things, but she just did, and it seemed the rest of the family was unaware.
His aunt also told him not to mention it to the family.
