Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 126 Chasing People

In the end, Lin Cheng couldn't persuade the stubborn old man Luo, and had no choice but to pour him another full glass of wine.

Old Luo carefully picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and savored the wine.

After a moment, he slowly put down the cup, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Yes, that's right, the taste of this wine is exactly the same as the one from Mao Yatou's place."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Cheng thoughtfully, as if he wanted to get more information about the wine from his apprentice.

"Master, please don't ask any more questions. The wine seller is just an ordinary young girl. You should rest now; I need to hurry and brew your medicine."

As Lin Cheng spoke, he secretly glanced at the wine glass in Old Luo's hand, silently praying that his master would stop pestering him for more wine.

However, Old Man Luo clearly did not heed Lin Cheng's words.

When he learned that the person selling the wine was actually a young girl, he felt a surge of inexplicable excitement.

His eyes widened, and he excitedly threw off the covers, making a move to get out of bed.

"Oh dear, Master, what's wrong with you now?" Lin Cheng quickly reached out to stop Old Man Luo, afraid that something might happen to him.

At the same time, Lin Cheng secretly groaned, thinking that his master was trying to use the alcohol to seduce the young girl selling wine.

"Quick, you brat! Take me to that girl who sells wine! Hurry up!" Old Luo was completely oblivious to everything else at this moment, only thinking about seeing Mao Yatou as soon as possible.

Since the two separated, Old Man Luo has been treating the people in the city that was plagued by disease.

His apprentice, Lin Cheng, was also met in the city, by which time he had already contracted the plague.

At that time, anyone in the city infected with the plague had to be taken away for quarantine, and Lin Cheng was already on the verge of death.

Even Old Man Luo was helpless. In the end, Old Man Luo remembered the things Su Yue had given him when they parted.

It was said to be a family heirloom medicine, but in the end, it was just a last resort.

At that time, Lin Cheng also thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly, in the middle of the night after drinking the medicine that Old Man Luo fed him, he felt like he was no longer feeling unwell.

After drinking it twice more, he recovered completely.

The plague was ultimately brought under control thanks to the spiritual spring water that Su Yue gave to Old Man Luo.

However, many people still died in the end.

When the plague finally subsided, Old Man Luo fell ill from exhaustion, and his illness became irreversible.

He had always been thinking about Su Yue, which was why he was so impatient.

Lin Cheng was quite startled by Old Man Luo's sudden action. He said with a bitter face, "Master, don't be in such a hurry. Even if we go looking for them now, we probably won't be able to find them. They might have already left."

"Master! Master! What's wrong with you again? Please don't move around!" Lin Cheng shouted anxiously, his voice filled with worry and concern.

The old man's face was flushed, veins bulging on his forehead, and he was panting heavily as he pointed anxiously ahead with a trembling finger.

He mumbled incoherently, "Quick...hurry...take me to the man who sells alcohol!" His body trembled uncontrollably with excitement, as if he were about to collapse at any moment.

Seeing this, Lin Cheng became even more flustered, fearing that his master might accidentally make him faint from anger.

He quickly stepped forward and whispered to comfort him, "Master, don't worry, don't worry! Your disciple will take you to find the wine seller right away."

After saying that, he gently patted Old Luo's back, trying to calm him down a little.

After Old Man Luo calmed down a bit, Lin Cheng immediately turned around and ran out the door.

He quickly led the donkey over and skillfully tied the ropes tight to ensure the cart wouldn't fall apart while traveling.

Then, he carried a thick cotton quilt out of the house and carefully laid it on the donkey cart, making sure to check carefully whether it was flat and without any wrinkles.

After completing these preparations, Lin Cheng returned to the house.

At this moment, Old Man Luo was leaning back in his chair, his eyes fixed on the door, as if he couldn't wait to leave for even a moment longer.

Lin Cheng dared not delay for a moment. He quickly walked to his master, bent down, and tightly hugged Old Man Luo's legs and back with both hands, using all his strength to slowly lift him up.

Although Old Man Luo wasn't very tall, he still seemed a bit heavy for Lin Cheng, who had been busy for so long.

However, Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and insisted on walking steadily step by step toward the donkey cart outside the door.

After finally settling Old Man Luo down on the donkey cart, Lin Cheng, without even wiping the sweat from his brow, hurriedly returned to the house to start packing up any items that might be needed.

He hurriedly stuffed his clothes, dry food, water bag, and other odds and ends into a large bundle, then picked it up and placed it in the corner of the donkey cart.

After everything was settled, Lin Cheng took a deep breath, looked up at Old Man Luo who was lying on the donkey cart, staring straight into the distance, and silently prayed that he could find the wine seller this time.

Then, he cracked his whip and shouted, "Giddy up!" With the crisp sound of the whip, the donkey set off, pulling the cart along the direction Su Yue had gone.

The wheels rolled forward, kicking up a cloud of dust and leaving two deep ruts on the road behind.

Meanwhile, inside the spacious carriage, Su Yue was leisurely enjoying the walnuts that Dali had carefully peeled.

She would occasionally put a plump walnut kernel into her mouth and chew it slowly, the fragrant and delicious taste making her feel satisfied.

Qiaoxiang, standing to the side, skillfully used a small, exquisite iron pot to stir-fry the candied walnuts inside.

As the spatula continued to stir, crackling sounds came from the pot, and a sweet aroma gradually filled the air.

Just as the enticing aroma wafted through the air, the carriage slowly passed by a group of people and horses resting by the roadside.

The peaceful atmosphere was instantly shattered when a mischievous and adorable child in the group spotted the rich, sweet scent in the air with his keen nose.

He excitedly tugged at the sleeve of a graceful little girl beside him and exclaimed, "Sister, sister, I smell something delicious! Let's go see!"

Having said that, he took off running and sped off after the carriage carrying Su Yue.

As he ran, the little guy kept shouting, "Stop! Stop! The carriage in front, stop right now!!"

However, perhaps because he was running too fast, or perhaps because the road was uneven, the child had not run more than a few steps when he suddenly tripped over a protruding clod of earth and fell to the ground.

With a muffled thud, he fell heavily onto the hard ground, and the pain made him burst into tears.

Despite his embarrassing fall, it did not diminish his determination to find that sweet taste.

So the little guy lay on the ground, crying and waving his little hands, signaling the carriage in front of him to stop.

At that moment, Su Yue, sitting inside the carriage, had just put the sugared walnuts that Qiao Xiang had just fried into her mouth.

Just as she was about to savor the delicious food, she suddenly heard a faint sound of a child crying.
