Chapter 57 Buying Wine

Chai Jiangcui was startled. Just when she was about to say that you, a seasoned mathematician, was quite accurate, Yu Tai suddenly fell into a coma, which shocked her.

The little Taoist boy also panicked and hurriedly helped his master up and pinched the old Taoist priest's hand hard.

"Master...Master, what's wrong with you! Master, don't scare me!"

The old Taoist priest's breathing and heartbeat became very weak at this moment.

"Someone passed out!"

"Where, where?"

"Where is he? This old Taoist priest was fine just now, and suddenly he collapsed."

"Hey~ Is there something wrong with the food in the restaurant?"

"Damn, don't fool me, I just finished eating!"

There was a commotion in the entire restaurant lobby, and several shop assistants and shopkeepers also hurriedly ran here.

Chai Jiangcui reacted very quickly. She grabbed the old Taoist priest's wrist and pure spiritual energy poured into his heart instantly.

While exploring the body of the old Taoist priest, Chai Jiangcui shouted to the panicked diners:

"Don't panic, everyone. This old Taoist priest just ate too hastily and suddenly developed an old illness. It has nothing to do with the food in the restaurant. Little Taoist Yu Jin, please protect the old Taoist priest's head and continue to pinch others."

Soon, Chai Jiangcui discovered that the blood in the old Taoist priest's body was inexplicably less, and the muscles in some key places also atrophied.

If she hadn't injected her spiritual power in time, Taoist Yu Tai might have died on the spot.

With the nourishment of pure spiritual power, the muscles in Yu Tai's body gradually returned to normal, the thunder light flickered slightly, and the old Taoist priest's heart regained its vitality.

"Cough ho ho~"

Yu Tai took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, and weakly sat up from the ground.

"I, what's wrong with me?"

"Master, you suddenly fainted in the middle of your words. Sister Chai and I spent a lot of time waking you up."

Yu Jin hugged the old Taoist priest who woke up excitedly, with a flash of tears in his eyes. The old Taoist priest's breath suddenly weakened just now, but it frightened him. At that moment, he even felt that the sky was about to fall.

Seeing that the old man had woken up, all the diners calmed down and sat back in their seats, whispering about what had just happened.

The old shopkeeper beside him, whose face was so anxious that he was sweating, breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as everything is okay, please stay here for a moment and I'll make you a pot of hot tea."

Old Yu Tai bowed his hand to the old shopkeeper apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you, shopkeeper."

"It's okay. Old Taoist priest, please sit down and take a rest. If you still feel uncomfortable, tell me and I will ask the waiter to invite the doctor for you."



After the old shopkeeper left, Old Taoist Yu Tai looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to him, and said with a wry smile:

"Miss Chai, the price of eating one of your meals is a bit high. I finally know what it is to predict the number of days without knowing it. This wave of punishment will not send me away."

'In fact, if I hadn't been by your side, you would have been in the underworld by now.'

Silently complaining about the veteran who thought he had escaped a disaster, Chai Jiangcui said with some embarrassment:

"I didn't expect you, Taoist priest, to be so accurate."

"Old Taoist, I am counting on this ability to earn money. Naturally, I will not be like a charlatan. I have a question for you, Ms. Chai. You are... not an ordinary person, right?"

Looking at the complicated eyes of the old Taoist priest, Chai Jiangcui was silent for a moment and answered the question:

"Taoist Priest, please don't force yourself to tell fortunes in the future."

"Hey, I know it. I must not expose the hidden secrets that I have forcibly peeked into."

Old Taoist Yu Tai nodded knowingly, but he didn't seem to understand what Chai Jiangcui meant?

"..."

Shaking his head, Chai Jiangcui took out thirty taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the little Taoist boy beside him.

"Use this money to buy more qi and blood supplies for your master, and the rest will be considered a expense."

Yu Jin held the heavy piece of silver in his hands and looked at the old Taoist priest somewhat helplessly.

This kid is still too honest. The old Taoist priest glared at him angrily and reminded him:

"Why don't you thank Miss Chai quickly?"

"Thank you, Sister Chai."

Yu Jin just woke up from a dream and bowed to thank Chai Jiangcui.

Later, Chai Jiangcui took the two of them to an inn and settled the old Taoist priest.

Before leaving, Chai Jiangcui told Yu Jin with some worry, telling him to look after the old Taoist priest and not let him tell people's fortunes at will. If he really wanted to tell people's fortunes, he should go to the temple fair to help people read fortune-telling fortunes.

Although Yu Jin solemnly agreed, looking at the smiling expression on the old Taoist priest's face, Chai Jiangcui didn't know how effective this advice was.

Originally, she planned to ask the old Taoist priest for his fortune-telling skills, but when she thought of the tragic situation after leaking the secret, she decided to give it up. Anyway, in the world of cultivation, there should be methods of fortune-telling, so there is no need to rush.

After bidding farewell to the two masters and apprentices, Chai Jiangcui returned to the restaurant.

It was already past dinner time and the restaurant was empty except for two waiters cleaning the place.

In front of the counter, the old shopkeeper who was fiddling with his abacus saw her coming back and hurriedly greeted her.

"Sir, you are back. How is the old Taoist priest doing now?"

"Excuse me, shopkeeper, but Master Yu Tai is fine."

The old shopkeeper smoothed his chest with relief and said with some doubts:

"That's good. Are you going to bring some food this time?"

"I don't want to buy food, but the fine wine in your store will still be in my memory. Well, let's have Twenty Tans of Feng Yue Zui first."

After saying this, Chai Jiangcui took out a heavy silver ingot and placed it on the counter.

"Twenty altars?"

The old shopkeeper originally wanted the waiter to make another pot, but he never thought that the owner would be so generous.

"Twenty jars of Feng Yue Zui weigh a hundred kilograms. I wonder where the girl needs to send the wine?"

"No need to deliver it, the shopkeeper only needs to move the wine to the backyard of the restaurant."

Chai Jiangcui smiled and did not explain anything.

Although the old shopkeeper felt a little strange, he only thought that she was going to order the wine and a servant would come to move it later, so he didn't think much about it and ordered the waiter to take Chai Jiangcui to the backyard to get the wine.

"Sir, all the Feng Yue Zui you want are here, you can count them."

In the backyard of the restaurant, the waiter placed fifty altars of wind and moon neatly in front of Chai Jiangcui.

"Thank you very much, little brother."

After thanking him, Chai Jiangcuisu waved his hand, and the waiter felt his eyes drifting into a trance, and both the wine and the person disappeared.

"Uh, did I forget something?"

The waiter rubbed his eyebrows and walked out of the backyard.

"Xiao Zhu, if you don't help that girl carry the wine, what are you doing out here?"

The old shopkeeper was a little angry when he saw the waiter wandering out. It's okay to be lazy, but such a big customer dares to neglect him. This new waiter is really a bit sluggish.

"Ah? Shopkeeper, the guest officer just now bought the wine?"

The waiter was a little confused. The people and the wine in the backyard were gone. It couldn't be that the guest bought the wine.

"Buy it? No one has left through the main entrance."

The old shopkeeper didn't believe it, so he left the counter and walked towards the backyard.

The backyard was indeed deserted, and Feng Yuezui was missing fifty altars. But it seemed like only a quarter of an hour had passed since the girl entered the backyard.

Back at the counter, the old shopkeeper looked at the heavy silver ingot and felt that the silver was a bit hot to the touch.

The waiter on the side has also reacted. No matter how he thinks about it, he can't figure out how the previous guest officer left, as if his memory has been covered with a white veil.

"Shop...Shopkeeper, are we going to encounter something dirty?"

The waiter looked nervously outside the store door with fear on his face.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's broad daylight, how dare evil spirits come out to cause trouble? Look at that girl's appearance, we're afraid we've met a fairy."

The old shopkeeper glared at the waiter, picked up the silver ingot, and wiped it carefully with his sleeve.

"Immortals? Are there really immortals in this world? Hey, shopkeeper, where are you going?"

"I'm going to put this money in the backyard as an offering. This is something given by the immortal!"

With that said, the old shopkeeper took the money and disappeared into the restaurant lobby.
