Do you really think you can get me with just a banana?

"Master!!!"

Awei poked his head out of the medicine cabinet and just happened to see Guan Shanyu passing by the back door with a basket on his back. He quickly dropped the herbs in his hand, shouted at him, and then trotted forward.

Guan Shanyu was walking to the back door when he heard the shout. He turned around and looked at his apprentice in confusion, asking, "What's wrong? Which medicine is missing again?"

"No, no," Ah Wei shook his head anxiously, saying, "Our clinic will open in half an hour. Master, are you going to collect herbs again?"

Guan Shanyu nodded and said, "Yes."

Ah Wei quickly reached out to remove the backpack from Guan Shanyu's back and put it on himself, saying as he did so, "Master, you take a rest. I'll go collect herbs today."

Guan Shanyu held him down and said, "You can't even tell the difference between magical herbs and weeds. Last time, I picked a whole basketful of magical herbs, but there wasn't a single one left. And you're still going? Just sit in the clinic and see me, and I'll go."

Upon hearing this, Ah Wei burst into tears. He hugged Guan Shanyu's arm and wiped his tears, saying, "But Master, those girls didn't come to see me for treatment at all. They just wanted to make an appointment with you. Every time I examined and felt my pulse carefully, they just talked nonsense and said that my medical skills were not good enough and insisted that you come to see me. There are so many girls every day, I really can't handle it! Just let me go to collect herbs. This time I will definitely be able to tell the difference between weeds and magical herbs!"

After hearing this, Guan Shanyu couldn't help but laugh. He patted Awei on the head and comforted him, "Think positively. They have to pay a registration fee to see the doctor. If you feel something is wrong, just send them away. There's no need to waste time with them. Besides, they're not really sick. Isn't that a good thing?"

Ah Wei looked bewildered. Seeing this, Guan Shanyu quickly picked up the backpack and put it back on his back. Before Ah Wei could react, he hurried to the back door. He caught a glimpse of the dustpan where the herbs were dried, which was piled high with things. As he walked, he said to Ah Wei, "Ah Wei, don't leave your shopping here next time. Pack it up and put it in your room. It's easy for people to steal it by the back door."

Ah Wei was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and explained, "Master, I didn't buy these. The big brother from Wangshuiling sent them to me. The room and the warehouse are full, and I really have no place to put them, so I put them here."

Guan Shanyu paused and looked back carefully at the things on the dustpan. There were clothes and cakes of various kinds. Thinking of the pile of expired cakes and snacks in the warehouse, he thought for a moment and turned back to the dustpan.

He picked out a few boxes of pastries and put them in his backpack. He said to Ah Wei, "Pack the rest. I'll take these boxes to Master Yang. Next time he sends something, just refuse it. We really can't fit it all in here. If we can't finish it and it goes to waste, we can set up a stall on the street after the clinic closes tonight."

Ah Wei nodded, but after thinking for a moment, he muttered to himself, "But they didn't even say hello to us when they delivered the things..." Before he could finish his words, he saw Guan Shanyu had already walked out the back door. He suddenly realized what was going on and quickly shouted, "Master! You really want to leave me here to receive guests!"

It is late autumn, but Pingshui Town seems to be gently embraced by a warm embrace, and the weather is unusually warm and pleasant.

The stream in the town is gurgling, crystal clear. As the morning light breaks and the sun appears, warmth quickly spreads. By noon, you can stroll leisurely in just two thin layers.

Guan Shanyu went out early in the morning to greet the morning glow. He saw that the vendors were busy setting up their stalls on the long street. The morning mist was gradually replaced by the steam rising from the bun shops. The rich and tempting fragrance, like the morning bells and evening drums, slowly awakened this quiet and vibrant town.

After coming out of Wangshuiling, Guan Shanyu found a place to travel as he had planned.

However, since the first place he chose was a plateau, he suffered from severe altitude sickness after arriving there. In addition, it was boring to go out alone, so after returning, Guan Shanyu chose to stick to his original intention and opened a small clinic in Pingshui Town.

It was opened with Yan Ruchen’s money.

He originally wanted to say no, but Yan Ruchen forced it on him. After several refusals, Yan Ruchen's eyes became red. Guan Shanyu felt that it would be pretentious if he didn't accept it, so he went down the mountain carrying the bag of money given by Yan Ruchen.

The carriage they took down the mountain also belonged to Yan Ruchen.

It had been seven or eight months since he left Wangshuiling. It had also been seven or eight months since their last conversation.

During this period, Guan Shanyu did not take the initiative to meet Yan Ruchen, and Yan Ruchen did not come to see him. The two seemed to have tacitly agreed that if they wanted to start a new life, the old people should not appear in the new life, so they did not see each other for seven or eight months.

But even though I thought so, judging from the items that Yan Ruchen kept sending me, it seemed that it was not the case.

Sometimes he sent some small cakes from Jiangnan, and Guan Shanyu guessed that Yan Ruchen had gone to Jiangnan during this period; sometimes he saw him sending some fur coats, and Guan Shanyu guessed that he had gone to the north and killed some ferocious beast; if he saw him sending some precious herbs, there was no doubt that this person had gone to the southwest.

Seeing the things is like seeing the person in person. Although the two people did not have any correspondence, from the things sent, it can be seen that the person traveled all over the world.

Guan Shanyu sighed, thinking that Yan Ruchen was the one who had truly started a new life. He had traveled around and seen all kinds of scenery and people. Unlike him, he had been lying in bed for four or five days after a trip to the plateau and finally felt comfortable staying in Pingshui Town.

Although they had never been in contact, the things Yan Ruchen sent were always very practical. Whatever Guan Shanyu's family lacked or wanted, he would basically think about it today, and the thing would be sent to him the next day.

But, I sent too much. Among all these things, this person never even wrote a letter to me. He went to so many places, but never told me what fun things he had.

Guan Shanyu, carrying a backpack, bought a bun on the way and ate it while walking, his eyes fixed on the ducks swimming leisurely under the bridge, and he walked slowly on the bluestone road. He thought to himself, this bun shop in Pingshui Town is really good, with thin skin and big meat, but it's too expensive, two cents a bun.

Next time, when he and Awei are not busy, maybe they can learn how to make buns in the clinic, and sell breakfast while seeing patients.

After all, every time he saw patients in the clinic, there would always be girls fainting on him due to hypoglycemia.

Awei is a homeless child that Guan Shanyu met by chance when he just returned to Pingshui Town.

He was only thirteen or fourteen years old. When they first met him, he was starving and stole a sesame seed bun from the street. He was caught and beaten by the shopkeeper. Guan Shanyu, passing by, gave the shopkeeper some money and saved him. Seeing Awei's disheveled appearance, skinny body, and timid appearance, Guan Shanyu felt pity and took him back to the clinic.

Guan Shanyu thought that running a clinic would require help, so he let the child stay and help out and gave him something to eat.

The old street is not long and we arrived at the destination in no time.

Master Yang's stall was already set up, but there was no one at the door. Guan Shanyu called out twice at the door, and a wobbly little kid pushed open the curtain from behind and stumbled out, mumbling something in a baby voice. Then, a young woman followed and shouted, "Zao Zao, don't run around."

Guan Shanyu placed the backpack on the table. Seeing the woman holding the baby, he greeted her, "A Nian, where is Master Yang?"

Ah Nian quickly smoothed down her messy hair and nodded to Guan Shanyu, "Yes, I'll call him for you." Then, she turned around and shouted towards the back door, "Brother Yang, Shanyu is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Yang hurriedly lifted the curtain and came out, holding a bottle in his hand. He said anxiously, "Shanyu, are you out collecting herbs so early?"

Before Guan Shanyu could reply, Master Yang hurriedly said to Anian, "It's getting cold. Hurry and take Zaozao downstairs. I just made breakfast and she's out again. I told her to tie her up with a rope. She's making too much noise."

Ah Nian quickly agreed, took the bottle, looked at Guan Shanyu apologetically, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to go to the back door. Seeing this, Master Yang patted his clothes, sighed, walked to Guan Shanyu, patted his shoulder, and said with emotion: "Shanyu, sometimes I really envy you."

Guan Shanyu looked at him in confusion and asked, "Are you jealous of me?"

Master Yang nodded and sighed, "You have no idea how difficult it is to raise this child. I haven't slept well since Zaozao was born. It would be so wonderful if I could be like you, go to the immortal sect to learn skills, return, open a clinic, and be single without the worries of supporting a family. Oh, if my mother hadn't urged me, I would also like to live a carefree life for a few more years."

Guan Shanyu smiled when he heard this, then shook his head at the sigh of the married man. He took out some cakes from his backpack and placed them on the table. He didn't respond directly, but said, "These cakes seem to be specialties from Jiangnan. I prepared some for you and Anian. Try them. Zaozao is still young and can't finish them all."

Master Yang raised his eyebrows, a smile forming on his chubby face, and jokingly said, "Could it be that someone prepared this especially for you?"

Guan Shanyu nodded: "Yeah."

Master Yang smiled and said, "He's really good to you, and I'm also benefiting from it."

Guan Shanyu smiled slightly, put on his backpack again, and said, "Okay, I just dropped it off on the way. I have to go to the mountain to collect herbs."

Master Yang quickly called out to him, "Have you had breakfast? My mother made some steamed buns. I'll give you two."

Guan Shanyu waved his hand to refuse. Before he could finish his words, Master Yang called out to the back room, "Mom, Shanyu is here. Pack two buns for him."

Guan Shanyu hurriedly called out to him, wanting to explain that he had already eaten, but it was too late. Aunt Chen had already come out from the back room, lifting the curtain. Seeing Guan Shanyu, her eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward, greeting him warmly: "Hey, Shanyu is here!"

Guan Shanyu looked at the energetic old woman in front of him, smiled and nodded, and said softly: "Aunt Chen."

Aunt Chen is Master Yang’s biological mother. They had met several times before, but each time they met, they had only one purpose.

Introduce him to a blind date.

Seeing Aunt Chen coming out, Guan Shanyu wanted to take the opportunity to say goodbye, but Aunt Chen had already grabbed his hand, clenched it in her palm and moved it back and forth, saying, "Shanyu, are you going up the mountain to collect herbs again? Listen to me, don't go, the mountain is dangerous."

Isn't this a blind date introduction?

Guan Shanyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What danger?"

Aunt Chen wrinkled her nose and said, "I heard from your Uncle Lin the past few days that there seems to be a demon beast on Laopan Mountain that has cultivated into a spirit. Many young people passing by have been eaten. A few of them have escaped to our side."

Before Guan Shanyu could react, Master Yang was already horrified: "Is this true? Old Pan Mountain is only twenty miles away from us!"

Aunt Chen said with certainty, "Of course it's true. The alarm was blown last night, but you were so sound asleep you didn't hear it. I heard three people were killed."

Guan Shanyu thought for a moment and realized he didn't hear anything either, so he asked again, "Isn't there any immortal sect to deal with it?"

Aunt Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, a few disciples came. It is said that they caught some monsters and locked them in the dilapidated temple on Laopan Mountain. But they haven't dealt with the problem even after two days of quarreling. Oh, Shanyu, don't go to the mountain to collect herbs for the next two days. It's not safe. If you ask me, you should stay at home for now. Some girls have come to ask about you and want to find a matchmaker. I told them that I know you, so there is no need to waste money on a matchmaker. It would be better to save the money for the wedding banquet later. What do you think, Shanyu, come with me to meet that girl? She is very beautiful."

Well, after saying so much, I still have to introduce him to a blind date...

Guan Shanyu smiled awkwardly at Aunt Chen, then firmly pulled his hand away, turned around and walked out, saying as he walked: "Aunt Chen, I'm leaving first. The clinic is out of herbs, I have to go get some, I have to."

Aunt Chen hurried out and called out to him, "Shanyu, you're not a child anymore. You need to think carefully about your marriage. You can't make enough money!"

Guan Shanyu laughed and continued to walk out, nodding as he walked. Suddenly, he remembered something and turned around to ask, "Aunt Chen, which sect is the immortal sect that came to handle this matter from?"

Aunt Chen was taken aback, thinking he had changed his mind. She didn't expect him to ask this, but she answered truthfully: "It's called the Shuiling School."
