Chapter 383 Cave Heaven
As the sun sets, the sky gradually turns golden, and a group of three embarks on an unknown journey.
Jing Liu followed closely behind Lin Yu and Fei Xiao, feeling a little curious. "Where are we going?" she asked.
Although there had been some misunderstandings before, she had now let go of her prejudices.
"Didn't I tell you that I would let Lin Yu brew wine for me?" Fei Xiao replied with a chuckle, his words revealing a naive expectation.
She patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, which was both a friendly gesture and a little encouragement.
Lin Yu turned his head and smiled at Jing Liu.
As we walked deeper, the surrounding scenery changed subtly.
The originally lush woods gradually became sparse, and were replaced by neatly arranged vineyards. Under the shade of green leaves, the ripe fruits exuded an enticing aroma.
The air is filled with a light scent of fruit and soil, which makes people relax involuntarily.
Lin Yu couldn't help but slow down his pace, his eyes full of amazement at this unexpected surprise.
"Is this a cave?" he asked in a low voice, with a note of disbelief in his voice.
Feixiao turned around and smiled at him, that smile was very proud.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Feixiao's words were filled with pride. She obviously had deep feelings for this secret garden.
"This is a place of an old friend of mine. Isn't it nice?" she added with a hint of nostalgia in her tone.
Lin Yu nodded, but his eyes stayed on a certain place, his brows were furrowed, as if he had discovered something unusual.
"Then it..?" He hesitated to speak, his mind full of questions.
Feixiao understood his thoughts, shook his head gently, and gave a reassuring answer, "Don't worry, she is still alive, but not in Luofu." This sentence was like a reassurance, which made Lin Yu feel relieved, and at the same time aroused his curiosity about Feixiao, this mysterious old friend.
...
Soon, a quaint and elegant building appeared in front of everyone. It stood quietly in a corner, surrounded by lush trees, like a fairyland isolated from the world.
Looking closer, you will find that the patterns carved on the door lintel are exquisite, with smooth lines and clever composition. However, it is not the common writing style of Xianzhou, but reveals an exotic style.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, a strong aroma of wine and the unique fragrance of wooden barrels hits you in the face. It is the taste of years of accumulation and a gift given by time.
The interior is bright and spacious, with various wine utensils and vessels on both sides. Each item bears the traces of time and has witnessed the process of the wine turning from green to mellow countless times.
"Is this a wine cellar?" Lin Yu muttered to himself, his eyes wandering around, trying to capture the beauty of every detail.
As his eyes inadvertently swept across an old-fashioned table, an exquisite hairpin caught his eye. It was a typical female accessory.
Lin Yu suddenly wondered if the owner of this cave was a woman? If so, what kind of woman was she to have such a tasteful residence and a wine cellar with superb craftsmanship?
As Lin Yu's eyes rested on the exquisite hairpin, Feixiao and Jingliu also moved closer to take a look. Curiosity drove them to find out more information about the owner of this cave.
This hairpin has a unique design and is inlaid with several small gems. It still shines with a soft light under the dim light, and is obviously extraordinary.
Feixiao sighed softly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, as if he was recalling past events related to that female friend.
"Her name is Yueli," Feixiao said softly, his words full of nostalgia, "She is a friend I met a long time ago, and she is also the owner of this place, this cave."
Hearing this name, Lin Yu and Jing Liu both felt very fresh. They had never heard of Yue Li's deeds, but they became very interested in this woman who obviously had extraordinary abilities.
"Yue Li is a very special winemaker," Fei Xiao continued, "Her craftsmanship is unmatched. Every jar of wine seems to be a work that she has personally infused with her soul. Moreover, she has an extraordinary perception of plants. This is why you can see those grapes growing so vigorously outside. It's all her credit."
Lin Yu and Jing Liu listened attentively, and felt a sense of admiration for Yue Li in their hearts.
They could imagine that such a woman must have a delicate and strong heart to be able to create such a wonderful space and fine wine.
However, Lin Yu brought up another question, "But, since Yue Li is so outstanding, why is she nowhere to be seen now?"
Fei Xiao was silent for a moment, as if considering how to express himself more appropriately.
Finally, she spoke slowly, "Yue Li left here because she found her mission. She went to a wider world, hoping to use her power to help more people."
“Although she no longer lives here, the legacy she left behind, including this cave and her winemaking skills, has become something worth remembering.”
"Wine-making skills? Since you have this thing, why don't you make wine yourself? Instead, you look for Lin Yu?" Jing Liu grasped the key point and asked in confusion.
When Feixiao heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and his eyes flashed with nostalgia for the past years.
"For me, winemaking is not just a skill. It is a testimony to the deep friendship between Yueli and I and a part of our shared memories." She said slowly, with a hint of sadness and reluctance in her voice.
"I do know some basic winemaking knowledge, but what Yueli taught me was more about the attitude towards life, the awe of nature, and how to feel the preciousness of every minute and every second with your heart. These are the core of her winemaking skills."
“When I first tasted the fine wine brewed by Yueli, it felt like a whole new world had opened up.”
"When the wine slides over the tip of your tongue, it not only brings you a taste enjoyment, but also an emotional touch. I can feel Yueli's dedication from it. She treats every grape and every fermentation meticulously, just like treating life with piety."
"At that moment, I understood that real winemaking is an art that is watered with blood and sweat. It carries the soul and story of the winemaker." Feixiao's eyes became distant, as if he had returned to that beautiful time. The scene of him and Yueli walking in the vineyard was vivid in his mind.
"As for why I asked Lin Yu for help," Fei Xiao turned to Lin Yu, "it's because he promised me, that's all."
Jingliu listened to Feixiao's narration, and she began to understand why Feixiao had such deep feelings for this cave and for wine.
It turns out that behind all this lies a deep friendship and nostalgia for the past times.
