The two of them continued to ascend the mountain.

Soon, they arrived at a mountain spring. Su Rong broke off a large leaf, shook it off to clean it and handed it to Zhou Gu, "Roll it up like this to catch the water and drink, can you do it?"

After saying this, she demonstrated with her own leaf.

Zhou Gu watched as she naturally performed the task, showing no disdain for the untreated mountain water. Droplets trailed from the corner of her mouth, which she casually wiped with her sleeve. He averted his eyes, mimicked her actions, and drew water for himself to drink too, remarking, "This water is sweet."

"Well, it's mountain spring water; it's sweet and nourishing. Regular consumption may prolong your life," she replied.

"Really?"

"Yes, really," Su Rong looked at him and continued, "Have you not noticed after wandering the Night Market for several days that the people living in this part of Jiangning enjoy a long lifespan?"

Upon reflection, Zhou Gu agreed, "Indeed they do."
