Chapter 163 There is a situation
"Oh my! I never expected that they would sell wine here. I must buy some to take back and have a good taste before I leave." It turned out that it was Old Man Luo shouting loudly.
Lin Cheng, who followed Old Man Luo into the shop, immediately tried to dissuade him: "No, Master, you absolutely cannot drink alcohol!"
"Hey! You brat, you think you're all grown up now? You even dare to discipline your master!" Upon hearing this, Old Man Luo was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at his face.
Since he fell ill for so long, Lin Cheng has been keeping a very strict eye on him.
Old Luo was about to ramble on about his little apprentice a bit more, but as soon as he stepped onto the second floor, he looked up and saw Su Yue standing there.
"Oh my! It's actually Yue'er!" Old Luo exclaimed with delight.
"Yes, I just saw you walking across the street. At first, I thought I was seeing things, so I came over to confirm."
Come, come, come over here and sit down to rest.
Su Yue smiled and put down her water glass. She quickly walked forward and carefully helped Old Man Luo sit down in a chair.
After Old Luo was settled, Su Yue asked curiously, "Old Luo, what were you doing on the other side just now?"
In fact, when Su Yue first looked at the shops, she was quite fond of the one where she was now living and the one across the street. It was just a pity that she was never able to find out who owned them.
Old Luo stroked his beard gently and said slowly, "I'm thinking of staying in this bustling capital and opening a clinic." As he spoke, a look of anticipation and longing appeared on his face.
Upon hearing this, Su Yue was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "You don't plan to return to your Divine Healer Valley?"
Faced with Su Yue's question, Old Man Luo was momentarily speechless, unsure how to answer.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Alas... I'm afraid I can't go back!"
It turns out that the once renowned and revered Divine Doctor Valley no longer exists.
It wasn't that rain disaster that lasted for such an unusually long time.
Worse still, prolonged erosion by rainwater caused severe landslides on the nearby mountains.
The cascading mudslide was like a ferocious beast, mercilessly swallowing up the entire Divine Healer Valley.
Now only ruins remain, a scene of devastation that is heartbreaking.
Alas, the Valley of Divine Healers is gone forever!
Old Luo was truly heartbroken!
Su Yue keenly noticed the sadness in Old Luo's eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly realized what was happening and decided to cleverly change the subject to ease the heavy atmosphere.
Su Yue smiled and said in a light tone, "Old Luo, look, you run a clinic across the street, practicing medicine and saving lives."
As for me, I'm selling all sorts of delicious food here. We're such a perfect match!
Upon hearing this, a smile gradually appeared on Old Man Luo's face, who had been somewhat saddened.
He nodded with interest and replied, "Hehe, you're right, little girl! It is quite a coincidence indeed."
But speaking of which, I just saw a lot of drinks downstairs. Was it the same good wine I had before?
As he spoke, Old Man Luo unconsciously leaned forward and asked Su Yue with a face full of curiosity.
Seeing this, Su Yue couldn't help but laugh and quickly replied, "Well... it's roughly the same. If you like, I can give you two jars to take back with you when you leave, so you can drink them slowly. We have no shortage of wine here."
Upon hearing this, Old Luo beamed with joy and kept praising, "Oh my, you're such a thoughtful girl, you know how to care for this old man like me."
"Unlike that disobedient and unfilial disciple, humph!" After saying that, he deliberately turned around and glared fiercely at Lin Cheng, who was standing to the side.
Seeing Old Luo's childlike behavior, Su Yue felt that Old Luo was becoming more and more like a child. Could it be because of this serious illness?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself again.
In this world, Old Man Luo can be considered one of the few people who genuinely care about Su Yue.
Therefore, Su Yue was exceptionally generous to him.
Su Yue invited Old Man Luo to come to the shop to get whatever he wanted to eat or drink from now on.
Lin Cheng quickly stopped him, saying, "Miss Su, Master has just recovered from a serious illness and it is really not advisable for him to drink alcohol!"
However, Su Yue smiled slightly and said softly, "It's alright, it's alright. The wine here is different from the ones outside. Drinking it in moderation is not only harmless, but also beneficial to your health."
The wine in the original shop was all mixed with spiritual spring water, and drinking it regularly would have a nourishing effect on the body.
Seeing that Lin Cheng was still hesitant, Su Yue continued to persuade him, "Don't worry, just let Old Luo have a few bites, nothing will happen."
In the end, Lin Cheng couldn't resist Su Yue and Old Man Luo's insistence and slowly relented, but at the same time, he put forward a condition—the wine must be kept by him, and he would decide the daily amount to drink.
Old Luo readily agreed, after all, what more could one ask for than a sip of fine wine every day?
So everyone sat around the table, enjoying the delicious food while chatting and laughing.
Before they knew it, quite a while had passed. When Old Luo returned, Su Yue thoughtfully prepared a full basket of vegetables and a basket of fruit for him.
Old Luo walked ahead with a big smile on his face, one hand behind his back and the other holding a big, juicy peach, which he was eating with gusto.
Lin Cheng followed behind, clutching the two precious jars of wine tightly in his arms, carrying a basket full of vegetables in his left hand and a basket full of fruit in his right. He looked a little tired, but his face was also filled with a satisfied smile.
And so, the master and apprentice walked further and further away, disappearing at the end of the street...
Su Yue carefully examined the neatly arranged fruit and vegetable shelves in the shop and found that they were completely empty, with not a single vegetable leaf or fruit left.
She nodded in satisfaction, then explained some follow-up matters to Manager Li in detail before putting on her cap with peace of mind and turning to walk towards the Star-Picking Tower.
As she entered through the back door with practiced ease, she was almost at the front of the courtyard when she suddenly caught sight of two figures huddled together by the archway, whispering to each other.
Out of curiosity, Su Yue subconsciously slowed her pace, quickly slipped to a corner to hide, and quietly pricked up her ears to listen to their conversation.
A clear and gentle male voice said, "Miss Shen, we are truly grateful for your meticulous care during this time. Please accept this small gift."
Immediately following was a soft and melodious female voice responding: "Lord Lu, you are too kind. This is nothing more than what I should do."
