However, Yushu couldn't care about so many things anymore. It had been such a long time since she had seen food that was so full of color, aroma, and taste. Driven by extreme hunger, she quickly held the bowl of noodles and began eating them with relish! This was because the Tianxing powder in her body had already been extracted. So she became extremely hungry and still needed other sources of energy.
Xiaochuan: Don't rush, eat slowly. Lao Cui, how about this: let's take her to the hospital and give her some glucose water; that will help her recover a bit faster!
Lao Cui: Hospital? And what's this glucose water? Xiaochuan, what you just said about the police and the gangs—I didn't understand a word of it! What you're saying now is even more baffling! Can you, like in ancient times, speak a bit in classical language? I, Lao Cui, beg you.
Xiaochuan: Lao Cui, you came to the modern era to save people. Stop being confused. Let me explain it to you, and you can adapt slowly, alright? —A hospital is a place where famous doctors like you actually work, basically, the place where patients receive treatment. Glucose water is something used to supplement nutrition for people recovering from severe illness. —Looking at Lao Cui's troubled expression, Xiaochuan secretly chuckled. This famous doctor in the modern era is definitely going to make a fool of himself, hehe.
Lao Cui: Excuse me, what does this 'nutrition' mean?
Xiaochuan: It means supplements like chicken soup or ginseng, hehe.
Yushu interrupted their engrossing conversation—
Yushu: What is this called? It's quite tasty. Back in Tuan, I even invented and made it myself; and this seasoning, it tastes really good.
Xiaochuan: So you also have a talent for cooking. At that time, the word 'noodles' probably didn't even exist. This is called noodles, specifically one type—Northeastern pulled noodles! As for that seasoning, it's called pepper, which is good for warming the stomach. Eating more is always beneficial, and it's good for your stomach. In the future, I want to be your chef, cooking things you like and giving them to you, alright?
Yushu: Thank you, my Xiaochuan! This time, being able to escape death was all thanks to you and Lao Cui. If it weren't for you not giving up on me so quickly, I would definitely have ended up in a coffin and would soon have gone to meet my father and mother in the afterlife.Everyone suddenly felt a bit sentimental, but everything is developing in a good direction, which is great, better than anything else. ????Old Cui: I feel like living here might get in your way, so I think I should find a way to go back through time. ????Xiao Chuan: Old Cui, what nonsense are you talking about? You saved Yushu's life. I want you to stay. We can still be good drinking buddies, okay? ????Old Cui: It's not that I don't want to stay; it's that troublesome guy from Beiyan Mountain insists I go back. Only if I return can I continue developing my medicine. That way, I can lay a solid foundation for saving more people in the future. ????Xiao Chuan: Yushu doesn't mind, and you're just a third wheel, how could I mind you? Honestly, your medical skills are exceptional; I admire you deeply. You don't need to go back to study any further. By the way, you haven't seen our hospital here. When you see all the good equipment and excellent medicines, you definitely won't be able to leave!! ????Old Cui: Xiao Chuan, it's not that I don't want to stay and be your confidant drinking buddy; it's just that I have some tricky matters to handle in ancient times. I really, really have to go back. ????Xiao Chuan: Old Cui, it would be good for all of us if you stayed. First, you can visit the hospital—you'll see that's really your home. Second, Yushu's health isn't great yet, you can take good care of her. Third, my old habit hasn't changed; I still want to drink ‘Wangyou Valley' with you! Okay?! ????Old Cui: I'll be honest with you. I have an unprecedented miracle medicine that I'm currently researching with the Beiyan Mountain guy. If I don't go back, I won't be able to find the herbs I need at the right time and place. Also, I won't be able to brew this unique miracle medicine at the proper auspicious time. ????Xiao Chuan: So that mysterious Beiyan Mountain guy is also a miracle doctor! Impressive, impressive! Since you already have an appointment with him, I won't keep you any longer. This time, you're not developing a 'spiritual medicine,' but a 'miracle medicine.' Seems like a particularly important matter. Alright, Old Cui, go back. I'll do my best to take good care of Yushu. ????Old Cui: Xiao Chuan, come with me. I'll show you a special place I came through when I traveled across time. In the future, that place might come in handy.From now on, you must always remember: family love is important, romantic love is beautiful, memories of the past should never be forgotten; if it becomes difficult, old friends are there. On the journey of life, there are many changes; morality is good, benevolence is wonderful, and it lies in the heart, never changing. From now on, be more careful. I cannot be by your side to help you, so you must stay alert. You still have Yushu to take care of!!
Xiaochuan: That's true. Thanks for your advice, old drinking friend. I've remembered it! Then, let's go to that special place!
Yushu: Xiaochuan, can I go with you? I feel afraid being left here alone, worried that Zhao Gao's underlings might come here like an unstoppable army. You're not by my side, and I'm scared I won't be able to handle it!
Old Cui: Yushu's concern is understandable. How about this: you take her with you.
Xiaochuan: But her illness has just improved, and her body is still very fragile. I'm afraid she won't have the strength!
Yushu: I'm not afraid. I've recovered a lot already. If I don't follow by your side, I'll be terrified by my own worries. Oh, Xiaochuan, please let me go. I'm scared of them; they will come to cause me trouble!
At this moment, Xiaochuan began to feel troubled. Taking Yushu along might make her fall ill, which weighs heavily on his mind. But if he doesn't bring her, she will be extremely scared. Just having narrowly escaped the gates of hell and brushed past the King of Hell, it would be inappropriate to let her continue to be frightened.
— Old Cui noticed Xiaochuan's concern and slowly said: How about this? You take Yushu with you. I have a remedy that can make her full of energy and even more lively. However, for her to return to her original youthful appearance, we'll have to wait until I return to ancient times and develop the proper medicine, then I will come back to let Yushu take it.
Xiaochuan: Old Cui, you really are a divine being. Unbelievable, your abilities are not to be underestimated. You are a super invincible Medicine God, far more powerful than the legendary Hua Tuo. I do not seek to return to my original youth. I only hope to spend my days with Yushu by my side.
Old Cui: Xiaochuan, I understand your feelings, but some matters are beyond us mere mortals. Just like the classic quote of that wonderfully calculating Northern Rock Mountain man: What do we rely on in life? Only seek love; cry bitterly, but demand nothing at most; what do we seek in life? Only seek one death; the true essence of life lies in mastering the heart.I see, this heart attack, it is about using your heart to protect what you love. When you have found your true love, you will be endlessly happy. However, she will age quickly, and the time you have together will gradually become shorter. I cannot remain indifferent to someone so unfortunate before me; my heart cannot bear it. Therefore, I must go back and find a good medicine to help you. I am your good drinking companion and am also willing to act as a matchmaker. With my divine medicine, you will surely be together, alright? ???? Xiaochuan: Old Cui, I realize that in this journey through time, the only person I have never misjudged is you! At the most critical moment, you helped me turn danger into safety and achieve victory in peril! I do not even know how to repay your great kindness! Now, you are returning to the ancient times, and I feel deeply attached to you. (Recalling all the past moments, Xiaochuan is very moved. He silently vows in his heart never to disappoint—Old Cui's expectations, and to always be together with the beloved girl, Yushu, forever in mutual love and affection, never betraying each other's love. This is also to repay the lesson Susu purchased with her life!) ???? Thus, along the way, they spent a joyful time reminiscing together! 『End of Chapter Four』
