132: Find medicine at an agreed time

"Then I'll call you Su Ran."

Su Can touched his nose and asked, "It's so late, did you call because you're ready?"

"Yes, I'm all set here. I called to ask how things are on your end."

Su Ran had been so busy preparing to go into the mountains to find the medicinal herbs from the ancient formula these past few days that she even neglected her pharmacy business.

So she had no idea what had happened to Su Can recently.

"I don't need much preparation now. If you want to go, we can leave anytime!"

Su Can said with a faint smile.

Now there was Big Yellow, Monkey, and Tiger Da watching over the mountain, and Gu Qingfeng was also there.

Even if the hotel needed anything, they could handle it completely.

Anyway, the hotel only needed a few fixed items, and Monkey and Big Yellow had already memorized them and could find them.

Moreover, the demand for these items wasn't that high every day, so he could leave with complete peace of mind.

Upon hearing this, Su Ran's voice immediately filled with joy: "That's great! In that case, we can get organized and contact each other today, and then we can depart tomorrow!"

"From what you're saying, you're bringing other people?" Su Can was stunned for a moment.

Su Ran said, "Of course! Going into the mountains to find special herbs, relying only on the two of us clearly won't work!"

"The mountains are rarely visited, and the dangers are unknown. If there are too few people and something unexpected happens, we won't even have anyone to call for help!"

"Besides, when we go into the mountains, we'll need logistics and supplies. If it's just the two of us, bringing some food into the mountains, I'm afraid we won't even make it into the mountains before we're exhausted to death!"

"Uh..."

Su Can was momentarily speechless. He had only considered his own situation, where he could travel light, but he had forgotten that Su Ran was an ordinary person and would definitely need to be fully prepared for anything.

"Alright then, you can take care of the arrangements for that."

Su Can said casually.

"Mhm, mhm, I've already contacted a reliable team of mountain adventurers through a trustworthy channel. We can meet up in New An City then!"

"Wait, where did you say?"

Su Can listened to Su Ran's plan and suddenly heard about going to New An, thinking he had misheard.

"New An, what's wrong?"

Su Ran was a little surprised by Su Can's reaction and explained, "The place that mountain adventure team is going to happens to be the same place I want to go!"

"So we got in touch and plan to meet up in New An!"

"Oh, oh, that's great! My dad happens to be working in New An City, Huizhou Province. If that's the case, I can visit him!"

After confirming that it was indeed New An City, Su Can couldn't help but smile.

What a coincidence, speak of the devil and he shall appear.

"Uncle is also in New An?"

Su Ran was stunned when she heard this.

"Yes, my dad has been working at a construction site in New An and hasn't been back for almost a year."

Su Can sighed and said.

"Alright then, we'll adjust our itinerary. We'll go visit Uncle first."

Su Ran's tone was relaxed, as if she was very willing.

Su Can naturally wouldn't refuse; it was a win-win situation, and they quickly reached a consensus.

After hanging up the phone, Su Can began to pack his luggage simply.

His dad likes to smoke and drink. Conveniently, there was the tobacco and alcohol Su Ran had given him last time, and Hong Lei had also brought a lot of good things during his two visits.

Su Can didn't care what they were, he just casually stuffed a few packs into his luggage.

He also took a can of that tin-canned tobacco and put it in.

Then he took out two bottles of Maotai.

There was nothing he could do; ever since his rebirth, although he hadn't interacted with many people, the worst alcohol he had received was this Maotai.

"Rebirth is great! If this were before my rebirth, let alone drinking Maotai, I'd have to be frugal even with Niulanshan!"

Su Can chuckled to himself, quickly packed his luggage, and placed it aside.

Half an hour later, Gu Qingfeng finished his practice, ate a quick meal, and went down the mountain.

At the same time, Hong Lei's construction team also arrived one after another, starting to work with great enthusiasm.

A group of people also came up the mountain to continue cutting down trees and building the small mountain courtyard.

Only Su Can was left, leisurely wandering around, followed not only by Monkey, Big Yellow, and Tiger Da, but also by two bouncing lambkins.

These two little fellows had been sticking to Su Can ever since they knew he was back, completely treating him as family.

"It's not good for you to keep following me. I'm not your mother, and I don't have milk!"

Su Can said with a wry smile, then suddenly touched his chin and realized, "Are you perhaps wanting to drink spirit water?"

After he finished speaking, he quickly found a large water basin, drew a basin of water from the lake, and then quickly used the essence of the sun to fuse it into spirit water.

He placed the spirit water in front of the two lambkins, and sure enough, they excitedly jumped and frolicked, happily drinking the spirit water.

Roar!

Tiger Da let out a low growl and affectionately walked over to rub against Su Can's thigh.

The meaning was, I want to drink too!

'Awoo!'

"Squeak, squeak!"

Big Yellow and Monkey also became anxious, gathering around and looking at Su Can with longing eyes.

"You all want to drink?"

Su Can looked at the three fellows speechlessly.

The three fellows nodded in unison.

"Then why don't you go get another basin?" Su Can rolled his eyes.

"Woof woof!"

Big Yellow was the quickest to react at this moment, almost a reflex!

Getting a basin was a skill it had mastered since childhood.

Its figure flashed, and a stainless steel basin was brought over, held in its mouth.

Su Can said directly, "Give it to Monkey, and let Monkey go to the lake to get a basin of lake water and bring it over."

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Monkey was very excited to hear that. It immediately snatched the stainless steel basin from Big Yellow's mouth, smiled as if showing off, and ran to the lake to fetch water.

Only Tiger Da hadn't helped at all, and it let out a low growl, looking a bit dejected.

A basin of water was brought over, and Su Can, following the same method, fused it into a basin of spirit water.

Big Yellow and Monkey had contributed, so the two fellows consciously enjoyed it first, drinking the spirit water with gusto.

Tiger Da could only watch enviously from behind, but it was polite and knew it hadn't contributed, so it consciously waited in line behind them.

After a while, Big Yellow and Monkey raised their heads, both letting out satisfied burps.

"Roar!"

Seeing this, Tiger Da quickly squeezed the two greedy fellows aside and let out a low growl.

Su Can didn't even need to use his mind to perceive; he knew from the sound that it was swearing terribly.

"Splash, splash, splash!"

Tiger Da frantically lapped up the water with its tongue, its face showing satisfaction and excitement.

It finished drinking the remaining half basin of spirit water before raising its head and letting out a roaring, refreshing, and hearty roar.

Its hearty roar startled everyone working on the mountain, making their hearts tremble, and they all began to discuss nervously.

"What's that old tiger going crazy about again? It almost scared me into hitting my own foot with a hoe."

"I was startled too. If Lei-ye didn't pay so well, I wouldn't dare come here just because of this tiger."

"Who isn't? I've never seen such a big tiger before; it's even bigger than a lion!"

"I don't know how Young Master Su is so amazing, to be able to make such a huge tiger so obedient, even more docile than a house cat!"

"Roar!"

Another roar, and the powerful tiger's might was awe-inspiring.

Everyone immediately felt a chill in their hearts.

"Alright, alright, get back to work, everyone speed up!"

"That's right, let's finish the work here quickly, get paid, and leave. This tiger is too scary!"

"Just that one roar, I'm sure to have nightmares when I get home!"

Everyone's work efficiency clearly improved.

Su Can took everything in, unable to help but secretly chuckle.
