"Do you have any wine?"
To Ye Feng's surprise, the other party asked a strange question instead.
"Wine? Yes!"
After a slight pause, Ye Feng took out two bottles of Du Kang from his spatial warehouse.
"This Du Kang wine, in my hometown, it can be said to be the most ancient historic famous wine, with thousands of years of history."
"Although its current fame is not comparable to some expensive branded wines because the brewing method has been lost..."
Ye Feng stopped midway through his sentence.
He noticed the drunkard looking at him with a surprised expression.
In the next second, the drunkard suddenly made a move, snatching the two bottles of Du Kang from his hands.
"So... so fast!"
Fine sweat beaded on Ye Feng's forehead. The drunkard's speed was so great that he couldn't even react.
"This... this is really Du Kang... really Du Kang wine?"
The drunkard carefully examined the two bottles of wine in his hands, his face filled with shock.
"Uh, it is indeed Du Kang~"
Ye Feng nodded. He had bought these two bottles of Du Kang wine from the [Shop] when it refreshed. They were expensive, costing 500 survival coins each.
"You know Du Kang wine?"
Finally, Ye Feng added, looking at the drunkard with some confusion.
"Mm!~"
The drunkard tilted his head slightly, looking at the sky outside the window, as if reminiscing. "When I was young, I had a good friend who also spoke of this divine brew, Du Kang wine, from his hometown..."
"Little brother, I'll give you that arcane compass!"
"And this too!~"
As he spoke, a light flashed in the drunkard's hand, and an arcane pointer, which was just a glass ball without the base of an arcane compass, appeared in his hand.
"What is this?"
Ye Feng was a little confused, not quite understanding what the other party was trying to do.
"That's where my friend once went. If you have the chance, you can go and see~"
"I can't make anything of it, but Du Kang wine... perhaps you come from the same place as him, and you might be able to figure something out~"
The drunkard said some nonsensical things that made Ye Feng frown.
"Little brother, I'll take one bottle of these two bottles of Du Kang wine~!"
"I hope in the near future, you can bring the other bottle of Du Kang, and we'll drink heartily together~!"
Then, the drunkard kept one bottle of Du Kang for himself, and handed the other bottle, along with the arcane compass and the glass ball, to Ye Feng.
"Uh... okay~"
Ye Feng was a little dazed, and then he put away the items.
Afterward, under the bewildered gazes of everyone, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao walked out of the Adventurer's Guild.
...
"Old Man Dali, you guys..."
Seeing the dense crowd outside the Adventurer's Guild, Ye Feng was once again taken aback.
"Mr. Ye, we heard you were leaving, and everyone from Taoyuan Village came to see you off!~"
Old Man Dali smiled and looked at Ye Feng.
Then, the dense crowd automatically parted, creating a path for Ye Feng to walk through.
...
Inside the Adventurer's Guild,
The drunkard stood still, gazing in the direction Ye Feng had left, motionless for a long time, like a statue.
"Mr. Drunkard, do you know that Ye Feng?"
When there were not many people left in the Adventurer's Guild hall, Old Man Liu Tou walked up to the drunkard sitting in a secluded corner and spoke.
If any adventurers were present, they would have been utterly astonished.
Because the president of the Adventurer's Guild, Old Man Liu Tou, spoke to the drunkard with such politeness, and there was even a hint of reverence in his expression.
The drunkard did not answer but quietly looked out the window, his face filled with memories...
Old Man Liu Tou, who had been met with a closed door, did not get angry. He bowed to the drunkard and turned to leave...
"Uncle Liu, why did you just..."
"Who is that drunkard?"
After leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Linlin could no longer contain her curiosity and asked.
Lei Jian also looked at Old Man Liu Tou with surprise!
"Linlin, Lei Jian, you don't have to look at me like that. Actually, I don't know either~"
Old Man Liu Tou gave a wry smile. "Even back then, the president of the Mist Night Guild... he was just as aloof..."
What?
...
On the other side,
"Old Man Dali, tell the villagers not to escort me any further~!"
"We are quite far from Shuangyu Town already~ I appreciate your kindness, please let everyone go back~!"
Ye Feng said helplessly to Old Man Dali again. He had said many similar things along the way.
"Alright!~"
Old Man Dali glanced at the sun gradually setting in the west and finally nodded.
"Everyone, stop here. Go back. May we meet again!"
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao waved goodbye to Old Man Dali and the villagers of Taoyuan Village, then turned and walked forward.
"Goodbye, Adventurer!"
"Goodbye, Adventurer brother!"
"Have a safe journey!~"
"Goodbye!"
...
Old Man Dali and the villagers stood in place, watching Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao leave. Only when their figures disappeared from their sight did they begin to walk back.
"Er Hu, Da Niu, what are you holding in that large bag?"
"Rice? Our rice hasn't been harvested yet, has it?"
Walking on the road, Old Man Dali saw a boy holding a plastic bag full of golden rice and asked in confusion.
"Oh, Old Village Chief, this was given by the adventurer brother. He said it's seeds of a type of rice that yields a lot of fruit, and the original words seemed to be 'high-yield rice seeds'!"
"We didn't have a chance to tell you earlier~"
Er Hu and Da Niu said one after another.
"This..."
Perhaps Er Hu and Da Niu didn't understand what high-yield rice seeds meant, but Old Man Dali knew the immense significance of it.
"Grandpa Dali, I've drawn some pictures. I plan to record the deeds of the adventurer brother and tell the descendants of Taoyuan Village, passing down the story of Brother Ye Feng for generations, so that Taoyuan Village will always remember Brother Ye Feng's legend..."
"That's good. It's almost time to revise the family tree anyway..."
...
As the sun set,
A figure, big and small, walked along a narrow dirt and stone road.
"Lightning attribute?"
Looking at the arcane raw stone with a small corner chipped off in his hand, Ye Feng couldn't help but recall how his Tang sword seemed to absorb energy from the arcane raw stone when he encountered the terrifying gargoyle.
Then he unleashed a slash imbued with lightning...
"Can the Tang sword do this with arcane raw stones of other attributes from time to time?"
A thought crossed Ye Feng's mind.
"Big brother, are we going to start looking for a place to camp?"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's voice sounded.
"No!~"
Ye Feng shook his head and smiled slightly. "Xiao Xiao, from today onwards, unless there are special circumstances, we won't be sleeping in tents at night!"
"Not sleeping in tents?"
Xiao Xiao blinked, looking confused. "Then, big brother, where will we sleep at night? Do we have to dig holes?"
"Not exactly!"
Ye Feng shook his head again, and under Xiao Xiao's puzzled gaze, he said, "From now on, we'll sleep in houses at night!"
