The fragrance of medicine fills the countryside in 1990

The dim morning light gently lifts the veil of night and tenderly embraces the sleeping world.

However, this tranquility was quietly broken by Gu Xinliang's hurried but anxious words: "Not good, the car...is on strike!"

Tang Bin and Doc Ken's eyes met in the air. There was no need for complicated words. A deep and solemn look flashed across their eyes at the same time, just like the dark clouds that gathered inadvertently on the horizon at dawn, quietly obscuring the warm light.

Tang Bin slowly took a breath of the cool air, and his chest rose and fell, as if he was drawing on invisible strength to calm his slightly troubled mind.

His voice sounded in this quiet and tense atmosphere, steady and powerful, and every word revealed his unshakable determination and faith: "We have lost the car that once provided us with solid support and led us through the wind and rain. At this moment, it seems that there are invisible chains silently entangling us and binding us in this unknown and vast area. Faced with this sudden predicament, we cannot sit and wait for death, and we must not let fear devour our courage to move forward."

He turned to look at Director Gu, his eyes sparkling with expectation and trust, and his words were sincere and respectful: "Director Gu, you are the think tank of our team and the beacon that leads us through the fog. At this critical moment, do you have a new strategic layout, or a flash of inspiration that can help us break free from this invisible shackles, regain confidence, and continue on the unfinished journey? All of us are looking forward to your light of wisdom to lead us to set sail again."

Gu Xinliang's eyes slowly swept across the surroundings. Although his deep eyes were filled with a heavy feeling that could not be ignored, he tried his best to use a warm tone to gently touch everyone's hearts and give them a hint of imperceptible comfort: "Everyone, at this moment, although we are under the protection of this valley and have a moment of peace and security, we must not slack off because of this. You must know that within this valley, there are unresolved secrets of the world, undercurrents are surging, and threats are lurking. Every step must be taken with caution. I urge everyone to abide by the discipline and not leave the team without permission, so as to avoid encountering unknown dangers. Let the trust and protection between each other become our most solid shield."

At this moment, Su Chenjin's voice was like a mountain stream, gently flowing through the slightly stagnant air, with a touch of freshness and mystery. Her eyes were leaping with flames of curiosity and exploration, as if they could illuminate every dark corner around her.

"Just at the edge of the forest not far away, Director Gu and I accidentally encountered a series of strange footprints. They were winding and tortuous, neither animal tracks nor human tracks. They were more like whispers of nature and the unknown. These footprints were like a puzzle carefully laid out by nature."

Tang Bin gently took over the conversation, his words revealing an indescribable helplessness and a hint of worry about the unknown future.

She said slowly, "Perhaps, those creatures in nature are taking advantage of the coolness of the morning light to quietly embark on a journey to the stream, just for a sip of sweet and clear spring water. However, we are in this unexpected predicament, as if bound by invisible shackles, and we are in a dilemma."

Tang Bin's eyes penetrated the confusion before his eyes, trying to find a hint of guidance in the tranquility of nature, but he could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that this sudden change could be solved as soon as possible, so that they could restart their journey and no longer be hindered by this unexpected failure.

The corners of Doc's mouth gently outlined a gentle and deep smile, which contained an indescribable tranquility and power, as if it could gently soothe all the anxiety and uneasiness around him.

"Everyone, please wait for a moment and let your mind calm down."

His voice was low and full of magnetism. Every word was like the first ray of sunlight that penetrated the mist in the morning light, warm and firm. "Leave these minor matters to me. I am willing to turn into the breeze on your journey, brushing away the dust and obstacles on your way, making this journey smoother and more unobstructed."

Doc Ken's words revealed a calm demeanor, as if all the problems in front of him were nothing but passing clouds and could be easily resolved.

He is not only a reliable partner, but also the everlasting light of hope in everyone's heart.
Tang Bin's hand, with unquestionable strength, fell steadily on Doc Ken's broad shoulders. At that moment, it seemed as if an invisible force was flowing between the two of them.

Tang Bin's eyes were deep and passionate, full of trust in his partners and firm determination for the future.

"So, we will join hands and swear to defend the peace and tranquility of this tiny place. No matter how turbulent the outside world is, we will use our flesh and blood to build a copper wall and iron barrier to isolate it from the outside world."

Every word he spoke was sonorous.

Tang Bin's tone revealed a kind of heroism and grandeur that transcended the everyday. He vowed to create a peaceful sky with his own strength.

The air around them seemed to freeze because of this determination, leaving only the two people's firm heartbeats and the tacit understanding between them that did not require any words.

In the spring, Miao Yu opened her red lips with her unique gentleness. Her voice was soft but revealed a tenacity that could not be ignored, just like the gentle breeze under the warm spring sun, gently smoothing the ripples in everyone's heart.

"Everyone, please relax. We are all convinced of Doc Ken's ability. He will be able to use his extraordinary wisdom to quietly resolve the current predicament and turn danger into safety, just as naturally as ice and snow melting in spring."

She suggested, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for beautiful things, "Why not take this leisure time to go to the sun-kissed threshing ground deep in the valley, where time seems to slow down. Several cherry trees are shyly nurturing pink cherries, as if nature has specially reserved a surprise for us, waiting for us to come together for this unexpected quiet feast. Let's take a rest under the sea of ​​flowers, let our hearts truly rest, and blend with this unexpected peace and beauty."

"When Doc is able to solve all the problems with his skillful hands, we will be able to embark on the journey again with hope and strength and continue to weave our own wonderful story. When we look back on this day, this short break will surely become one of the most tender memories in our hearts."

Such words not only soothed people's hearts, but also sowed the seeds of hope in everyone's hearts, making this autumn journey more meaningful because of the unexpected tranquility and beauty.

After she finished speaking, she turned to Su Chenjin gently, her eyes flashing with concern: "Xiaojin, the footprints you saw did not go deep into the darkness of the valley, right?"

Su Chenjin nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, they seem to extend along another gentler path."

After hearing this, Chun Ri Miao Yu's worries were slightly relieved, and a gentle smile bloomed on the corners of her mouth: "That's good, let us forget our troubles for a while and enjoy this rare tranquility and beauty."

Miao Yu and his group lightly bid farewell to the camp caressed by the morning light.

Su Chenjin and Gu Xinliang tacitly took on the final work of the farewell.

They carefully folded up each tent and put away the scattered plates after breakfast.

The luggage was placed into the car one by one, neatly and orderly.

At this moment, Doc Ken was leaning under the car, concentrating on repairing the vehicle that carried countless laughs and stories. His figure looked particularly resolute in the mottled light and shadow.

Tang Bin stood by, like a tacit partner, accurately delivering the required tools to him. The cooperation between the two silently revealed their deep friendship and trust.

Time passed quietly, and around noon, a surprising figure passed through the light and shadow of the forest. Chunri Miaoyu returned with a basket of crystal clear cherries. The bright red color was like the smile on her lips, warm and bright.

Su Chenjin took the basket of nature's gift and washed each fruit carefully. Water droplets slid down, reflecting the sunlight and sparkling with an alluring luster.

Afterwards, Su Chenjin and Chunri Miaoyu stood side by side and prepared lunch together.

The first dish is the colorful bell peppers falling in love with shredded pork. In the gentle sunshine, the ingredients are given life and gently spread on the chopping board. The green peppers are like the first breeze in the early summer morning, fresh and refined; the red peppers are as hot as fire, full of irresistible passion and vitality; the yellow peppers, with their bright colors, are like the wheat fields under the warm autumn sun, warm and bright. The three are intertwined to paint a gorgeous picture of nature.

In the pot, the butter melts quietly, just like the first snow of winter gently disappearing under the warm sun, and meets the pork belly shreds that have been carefully marinated in advance. They slowly blend in the embrace of heat, and the aroma of meat gradually fills the air, as if it can penetrate every wisp of air and reach people's hearts.

This is not just an encounter between ingredients, but also a tacit dialogue between time and heat.

As the fire rises, the colorful pepper family is invited one by one to this taste feast. They jump and spin, dancing with the shredded meat on the stage of the iron pot.

Every stir-fry is the ultimate respect and release of the original flavor of the ingredients. The subtle flavor enhancement of chicken powder and the mellowness of soy sauce are intertwined, like the brightest stars in the night sky, adding endless layers and depth to this dish.

Finally, a plate of colorful fried pork with sweet peppers made a grand appearance, colorful and fragrant.

Every bite is an extreme tease for the taste buds. The delicate shredded meat and fresh bell peppers interweave on the tip of the tongue to create an unforgettable taste that can instantly awaken the dormant senses.
The second dish is a romantic encounter with cheese baked shrimps. The pure white shrimps are like pearls lost in the deep sea. They gently peel off their hard and mysterious shells, revealing the tender snow-like and crystal clear meat.

This is not just a transformation of food, but more like a gentle call from nature to the taste buds.

Su Chenjin's hands were as deft as an artist's. She gently coated each shrimp with a thin layer of salt and pepper. The delicate seasoning was like the morning dew kissing the flower petals, both shy and full of expectation.

As the hot oil jumps happily in the pot, the shrimps slowly step onto this hot stage. They are leisurely and contented in the embrace of the oil, slowly stretching their bodies. Both sides are gradually coated with a layer of attractive golden color. The aroma also overflows, filling the entire kitchen, teasing the olfactory nerves of everyone passing by.

Just as the transformation reached its climax, Su Chenjin seemed to cast a magic spell and gently sprinkled a layer of golden pizza cheese shreds. They were like fine golden ribbons, gently covering the shrimp and putting on a gorgeous and dazzling dress for it.

This is not only for aesthetics, but also to give the dish a deeper taste experience.

The lid of the pot was gently closed, marking the end of the feast.

As the temperature rises, the cheese shreds begin to melt slowly, and the deliciousness of the shrimp meat permeates each other.

The melted cheese, like warm sunshine, penetrates the clouds and spreads all over the earth, turning into a layer of attractive golden, delicate and silky coat, tightly wrapping every inch of shrimp meat, making people salivate just by looking at it.

The third dish is the warm embrace of Korean beef brisket and soybean paste soup. In the pot, the carefully selected beef belly slices are spread out lightly like newly blooming rose petals. They have a silent and affectionate dialogue with the profound Korean soybean paste, intertwining with each other, waiting for the magician of time to gently catalyze them.

All around, ingredients appear one after another, bringing their own stories and styles, together weaving this dreamy symphony of taste.

Shiitake mushrooms, like fairies in the forest, add an indescribable elegance to the feast with their unique freshness; green peppers, like the passionate flame, ignite the passion of taste buds with their fiery color and spicy taste; onions and garlic, this classic golden pair, their fragrance is like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, penetrating the cold and bringing endless vitality and hope.

And pumpkin, the messenger of sweetness, slowly blends into the boiling soup with its golden warmth. Its sweetness is like a cup of warm tea in winter, gently wrapping every soul longing for warmth.

Onion, as the mellow base of this feast, every texture of it contains the accumulation of years. The blend with beef belly and soybean paste brings this mellowness to the extreme.

As the flames of the stove leaped and the food simmered over medium heat, everything in the pot began to undergo subtle and magical changes.

The beef belly slices gradually become soft and crispy, as if they will melt on the tip of your tongue with just a sip. Their deep fusion with Korean soybean paste makes each slice saturated with the rich aroma of soybean paste, releasing an irresistible Korean style.

With the passage of time, the soup becomes richer, more attractive in color and more fragrant, as if it can penetrate the cold wind and reach the softest part of people's hearts.

How can lunch be complete without milk tea? This is the gentle waiting of the fragrant fresh milk tea.

The black tea bag slowly expands in the boiling water, releasing the deep tea aroma.

The addition of milk, like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, gently embraces the fragrance of tea.

The sweetness of the sugar blends in slowly, and the aroma of the milk tea becomes stronger as it is stirred until it boils. A cup of fragrant fresh milk tea will then quietly wait by the table, waiting for every intimate contact.

The last dish is the exotic hot lime milk. The freshness of lime and the mellowness of milk create a different spark in this cold autumn day.

The milk is gently boiling in the pot, and the addition of sugar and vanilla extract makes the sweetness more layered.

When the cooked milk is slowly poured into the glass of rum, the unique exotic flavor becomes more intense with the light sprinkling of cinnamon powder. Every sip is the ultimate tease for the taste buds, making people intoxicated.

The delicacies carefully prepared by Su Chenjin appeared on the table one by one. Each dish exuded an attractive luster and aroma, silently calling friends to share this spring taste feast.

Chunri Miaoyu, with a gentle smile, stood up lightly and decided to invite Doc Ken and Tang Bin to this food date.

Her steps were brisk, like the spring breeze blowing through the tender green willow branches, with a hint of barely perceptible joy.

Just as she was about to step out of the door, an unexpected scene quietly came into view - Miss Hua, the beautiful lady who always showed her gentleness, was nestled in Doc's arms. The two came side by side, with harmonious steps, like a carefully painted spring painting, slowly approaching this side.

Their figures, elongated in the soft sunlight, looked particularly warm and beautiful, adding a bit of unspoken affection to the time before the meal.

Seeing this, Chunri Miaoyu couldn't help but feel a subtle ripple in her heart, but she quickly turned this subtle emotion into a more gentle smile at the corner of her mouth with her unique gentleness and composure.

She waited quietly until the couple came closer, then she spoke softly. (End of this chapter)
