Four days later, Qian Duoduo opened his eyes leisurely.

The first thing that caught her eyes was the concerned faces of Qian Yuning and his wife.

"I'm alive……"

"Good boy!" Qian Yuning held Qian Duoduo's hand and burst into tears, "God bless you, you finally saved your life. These days, you are scaring my uncle!!"

"I...I had a dream..." Qian Duoduo, who was pale, said weakly, with a slight smile on his equally pale lips, "I dreamed...I dreamed that Brother Su came back to save us..."

"This is not a dream!!" Qian Yuning wiped away his tears, but sobbed even harder, "Not long after they killed you with the second sword, Brother Su really came back! Good boy, don't worry,

The two people who killed and injured you have both died under the knife of your brother Su. From now on, Cuiyougu will not dare to attack again!! Our Qian family has been saved!!"

"Yes...really..." A line of tears fell from the corner of Qian Duoduo's eyes, "Did I really...accept the call..."

"Yes, yes!!" Qian Yuning fell on the edge of the bed and cried loudly.

"Brother Su..." Qian Duoduo, who was extremely weak, slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

…

At this time, Su Wangting had gone all the way north, almost reaching the middle of Maozhou.

He did not wait for Qian Duoduo to wake up. After hearing Doctor Xue's assurance that her life was safe, he immediately resigned.

He only left a note for Qian Duoduo, telling him to have a good rest, and if he wanted to see him, he could try to go to Huanyan Pavilion to ensure that he could meet him.

At this time, Su Wangting had almost regarded Huanyan Pavilion as a place where he could stay. He originally planned to travel around the world after returning to Kyushu, but he actually felt a sense of belonging.

Just because his few friends are all there.

More importantly, there is also a white jade piece of the Nine Chapters of Tianji in Qingwen's hand. If one day she is lucky enough to collect eight of them, plus the one from the Huanyan Pavilion, she will have all the Nine Chapters, and she will be done.

Until then, it will be possible to resolve the many confusions in your heart.

Until then, it would be possible... to see that beautiful figure that haunted him in his dreams again.

Until then, it may be all in vain.

But Su Wangting chose to continue searching just for this possibility.

As long as there is a chance, he will not give up.

Even if it turns out to be in vain, even if nothing is found in the end...

He is willing too!

After experiencing so much, especially after meeting those strange people, Su Wangting actually had such a strange feeling in his heart now.

That was the short-lived fate that I had back then, which was out of reach, even illusory.

There is even a hint of unexplainable blasphemy.

If it is truly blasphemy, it is a sin.

If I have ever climbed too high, it is a sin...

Then this difficult journey of pursuit is the right to atone for your sins!

Even if what you get in the end is nothing, a disaster, or any other consequences, it can be regarded as an answer.

Otherwise, my empty heart will never be at peace!

While he was melancholy, the smell of stewed meat suddenly penetrated Su Wangting's nostrils.

It immediately made him hungry and thirsty, and his mouth was filled with saliva, and his stomach was beating with drums.

Looking up, I saw a small wooden house on the side of the country road ahead. There was a flag in front of the door with the word "wine" written on it, and smoke was slowly flowing out from a window on the side of the house.

"It's so strange." Su Wangting reined in his horse and looked around, "There's no village in front of this place or a shop in the back. I've traveled for dozens of miles through barren mountains and wilderness. I haven't seen a single family, and I haven't met a single pedestrian on the road. Who is it?"

Will you open a store in such a horrible place? Can there be business here?"

"A black shop?" Su Wangting could only think so.

"The black shop is good, as long as you have something to eat." Su Wangting grinned, shook the reins, and rode his horse slowly towards the small shop.

When he arrived at the door of the store, he saw no attentive waiter coming out to lead the horse. Su Wangting had no choice but to tie the horse himself and walk into the store.

But no one was seen.

The store is not big, with only three rough wooden tables, and the tables and benches are covered with dust. The light inside is dim, and the wooden walls are scorched yellow by smoke, which shows that this store has been open for a long time.

.

Su Wangting blew the dust on the table and stool, sat down haphazardly, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Store!!"

He shouted loudly, but no one answered.

Just a stooped old man walked out silently.

"Sir, what do you want to eat?" The old man took off the greasy rag from his shoulder and symbolically wiped the table in front of Su Wangting.

"Is there any good wine?"

The old man looked the visitor up and down with his cloudy eyes, and replied expressionlessly: "There is no good wine, just home-brewed village wine. It is a bit spicy, but I can drink it."

Su Wangting laughed dumbly: "No problem, just take half a catty. You can smell the meat from a long way away. It doesn't matter what kind of meat you stew, just cut it up and bring it over. If there are any side dishes to go with wine, just have a few."

The old man didn't say hello, nor did he say anything, he just turned around silently and went into the kitchen.

He didn't even pour a cup of tea for Su Wangting.

Looking at the stooped and staggering back, Su Wangting shook his head helplessly, curled his lips and shrugged, waiting for the food and drinks.

Sure enough, the speed at which the wine and food were served in this shop was consistent with the old man's staggering steps.

Consistently slow.

The hungry Su Wangting waited for a stick of incense before a wooden tray filled with food and wine was brought over by a pair of trembling hands.

However, the old man just put down the wooden plate and left.

Even the food, wine, bowls, and chopsticks are not brought out and arranged for the guests.

"ox!"

Su Wangting gave a thumbs up to the old man's back, and impatiently sifted a bowl of wine for himself and started brewing.

A piece of stew was put into his mouth, and Su Wangting devoured it.

"fragrant!!"

Pick up the wine bowl and take a sip.

"puff!!"

Squirted out in one mouthful.

Not only was this wine unexpectedly spicy, but it also had a strange smell that made it extremely difficult to drink.

But no matter how unpleasant the wine is, it is still wine.

Su Wangting, who had been greedy for many days, would not let it go, so he had to hold his nose and drink it down.

"Yeah! Although the taste is a bit strange, this wine does have some strength!!"

Su Wangting filled another bowl for himself.

Just as he was about to drink the second bowl, he saw the old man bringing another pot of wine.

"Huh? Old man, I didn't ask for more wine, so why did you bring another pot?"

The old man didn't answer. He just put down the jug of wine and took away the half-drinked jug of wine by Su Wangting.

"You're so good, why do you want to change the wine for me?"

The old man turned around slowly and replied in a hoarse voice: "The little old man is old and has a bad memory. There was a rat soaked to death in a vat of wine a few days ago. I was supposed to throw it away, but I forgot about it for a moment.

Don't be surprised that the guest officer actually poured a pot out of that vat."

"I……"

When Su Wangting heard this, he immediately rushed out of the store, knelt on the ground and dug his throat with his fingers, vomiting wildly.

After vomiting a lot of meat and vegetables, Su Wangting sat back again.

But the old man was still waiting at the table.

Su Wangting smiled bitterly and said: "It doesn't matter, old man, don't worry, your lower body is very good."

"No." The old man shook his head, "Even if you vomit, you still have to pay for the bottle of wine."

"..." Su Wangting was completely speechless.

have to.

Isn’t it okay to stop drinking?

Uncle, I only eat meat!

The main thing is to fill your stomach, and then have a good drink after entering the city.

Just after finishing a bowl of meat and three big steamed buns, two thin, tired-looking men walked into the store. Their sallow complexions and dark circles under their eyes looked like they had never slept in half their lives.
