In the small courtyard outside the grass house, an old man sat on a stool, looking up and down at the young man standing in front of him while pounding medicine, and after a while, he asked aloud: "Young man, are you going to Xuanling City?"

Dan Xuan nodded.

The old man pondered for a moment and continued, "Keep going east, and you will be able to reach Xuanling City in one day!"

Dan Xuan hurriedly bowed down and thanked him. The old man looked up at the sky that was about to darken, and said in a deep voice: "It's not too early, if you don't dislike it, you can spend the night in the old man's cottage first, and then set off tomorrow!"

"Thank you, old man!" Dan Xuan thanked again.

The girl who was busy packing up the dried medicinal herbs not far away seemed to have been concentrating on collecting the medicine, but in fact, her ears had been listening to the conversation between Dan Xuan and her grandfather, and her face seemed to be flushed with a hint of redness, and she looked very shy.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Dan Xuan slowly walked to the shelf where the medicinal materials were dried, and roughly looked at the medicinal materials drying on the shelf, he was familiar with medical science, and he naturally knew how to dry these medicinal materials.

Put the herbs in front of his nose and smell them, and gently pinched the herbs in his hand with his hand, he said to the old man not far away: "Old gentleman, these tail beard roots of yours seem to have been a little too sunburned, and they contain a fishy smell, and they can't pinch the watermark with their hands.

Hearing this, the girl hurriedly came over and looked left and right, but she didn't know what Dan Xuan meant, usually the time for these medicinal herbs to dry was set by her grandfather. However, the girl looked at Dan Xuan with a serious look at the medicinal herbs, the setting sun reflected on his now fair face, and his eyes were as deep as a lake, making him more and more deep and quiet, like a quiet green mountain.

The old man put down the stick, got up and walked over, glanced at Dan Xuan with some surprise, and said in his heart, What kind of medical skills do you know as a young man!

The old man approached, and also picked up a piece of tail beard root with his hand, and after careful inspection, the old man was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look up at Dan Xuan more, and said, "Young man, do you still know some medical skills?"

Dan Xuan nodded and said, "I know a little bit about it!"

The old man smiled indifferently and said, "Okay, very good, you have a lot of appetite for my old fellow, let's drink two cups in the evening, how about it?"

Dan Xuan also looked at the old man and said with a smile: "That kid is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!"

The old man smiled heartily when he heard this, and Dan Xuan also laughed twice.

In the evening, in the small courtyard, the old man picked up a small cup of wine and said, "Come, young man, accompany me, the old guy for a drink, if you can meet here, it is fate, a toast to fate!"

Dan Xuan also smiled and raised his glass, and the two drank together.

The girl sat at the table next to her, glanced at Dan Xuan secretly, and then lowered her head to eat rice, very quiet, and didn't seem to say a word.

The old man put down the wine cup, glanced at his granddaughter, and said, "Xiaoyu, why is it so quiet today, it's not like there are no living people in our medicine house on weekdays, and I haven't seen you have such a quiet time!"

As soon as these words came out, the girl known as Xiaoyu blushed slightly, and secretly glanced at Dan Xuan again, seeing that he was just bowing his head and tasting wine, he didn't seem to care, but he glanced at his grandfather fiercely, and said, "Grandpa, what are you talking nonsense! Aren't people so quiet on weekdays!"

"Just you......" The old man just wanted to laugh, but saw his granddaughter glaring at him with murderous anger, and her little face was full of warning. The old man has lived a handful of years, how can he not see his granddaughter's careful thoughts?

However, the old man can also see that the young man who looks very quiet on the other side is probably not an ordinary person from an ordinary family, just from the natural self-confidence that permeates him, the old man concludes that this person is definitely the dragon among people, and how can his ugly duckling-like granddaughter be worthy!

However, what girl doesn't dream! The old man also laughed softly twice, and did not break it.

Dan Xuan picked up the wine jug at this time, poured it for the old man and himself, but raised the wine glass, and said: "Old man, when I come here, people are not familiar with the ground, thanks to your old guidance, this glass of wine thanks to your grandfather and grandson is not wary of me, just rely on this trust, I will do it first as respect!"

When the words fell, Dan Xuan drank it all. The old man smiled heartily, but he admired Dan Xuan's character very much, and he followed up with the wine glass and drank it!

The moonlight was sinking. The old man swayed his body and slowly got up, and said: "You young man has a good amount of alcohol, if the old man is twenty years younger, he will definitely not get drunk with you, but now that he is old, he is useless, Xiaoyu, you stay with your brother for a while, the old man has to go back to the grass house first!"

Dan Xuan looked at the back of the old man slowly leaving, but he felt that the back of the old man was a little depressed, people are just people after all, no matter whether they were rich or not in life, they could not escape life and death!

Thinking of this, Dan Xuan couldn't help but feel melancholy in his heart, and raised his head and drank another glass of wine. Then he looked up at the crescent moon hidden in the sky among the thin clouds. The wine was sad, remembering the past, now so many years have passed, the young man who was still half childish back then has come to this point step by step, people only see his talent for optical fiber, but few people know how much suffering this teenager has endured!

How many times have he faced life and death, how many times he has faced humiliation! The young man's heart is now as steel, and he knows what his goal is from beginning to end!

On the Nanchuan Continent, the young man will go back one day! The hardships and humiliations he had suffered there are still fresh in the memory of the young man, and they are like a knife in his heart that cannot be healed! The betrayal and hurt of the past have made the young man's heart cold! And the princess who has captivated the country and the city, Dan Xuan once imagined that if he met this high-ranking princess again, how would the two of them deal with themselves, should he kill her with a sword?

Too many chaotic thoughts came up with the wine, and at this time, there seemed to be countless vicissitudes of the past in the young man's deep eyes.

Xiao Yu looked at Dan Xuan's side face looking up at the starry sky, she always felt that the sentimentality released by the other party seemed to reveal a sadness even in this look!

What kind of person was he? What kind of story did she have?

In the courtyard, Dan Xuan raised his head again and drank a glass of wine, at this time he suddenly wanted to get drunk, not to think about anything to avenge the shame, not to think about anything to improve his strength, he just wanted to sleep well, and sleep relaxed......
