She quickly gave chase and finally spotted a gray hare in the bushes. She crept over to try and catch it, but the hare spotted her first and quickly escaped.

Undeterred, Qiu Mang chased after it for another two kilometers, panting, and finally caught up with it behind a large rock.

Qiu Mang tried to catch it, but the rabbit swerved and Qiu Mang crashed straight into a large rock, scraping his arm and drawing a cut.

"hiss……"

She endured the pain and looked at the rabbit.

The rabbit was probably exhausted, and after several rounds, Qiu Mang finally caught it.

On the way back, Qiu Mang held up the wild rabbit in her hand and happily showed off to Lin Yuan about tonight's dinner.

Lin Yuan noticed the wound on Qiu Mang's arm and quickly took out some medicine from her backpack to apply to it.

When she and Dr. Tao were abroad, she was influenced by Dr. Tao and developed the habit of carrying some commonly used medicines with her when she went out.

In the evening, Qiu Mang and Lin Yuan started a fire and roasted the rabbit.

On the second floor of the wooden house, an old man with white hair and white eyebrows looked out the window at a girl who was warming herself by a fire in front of a tent and eating rabbit meat with relish.

"Grandpa, these two sisters have been here for over a week. They're the longest-staying people out of all the visitors! It seems their determination to save people is extremely strong!" the little boy beside him said.

Mr. White Eyebrows sighed, "Fine! Let them in tomorrow!"

The next day, Qiu Mang went to knock on the door of the wooden house as usual.

The little boy opened the door, looked Qiu Mang up and down, and this time, instead of refusing her directly, he asked, "Are you alone?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Mang sensed a glimmer of hope and quickly pulled Lin Yuan, who was behind her, over as well, her face beaming with excitement, "There's another older sister here."

The little boy nodded. "It's good that there are no men here! Since you managed to get here, you must know that Grandpa only sees young women; he won't see anyone else!"

Qiu Mang and Lin Yuan exchanged a glance, and Qiu Mang nodded, "We know."

The little boy seemed to remember something, "Wait a minute! If you want to see Grandpa, you have to take a bath first, and then change into these clothes!"

As the little boy spoke, he took two sets of clothes from the cabinet behind the door and handed them to Qiu Mang and Lin Yuan.

Shower? Change clothes?

The two received the clothes, unfolded them, and took a look. It was a long dress made of ordinary fabric. Although it couldn't be described as a sexy style, it was off-the-shoulder.

Qiu Mang frowned. "Don't you have any other clothes?"

The little boy said firmly, "This is the rule. If I want to see Grandpa, I have to change into these clothes!"

Lin Yuan hesitated, "It's so cold in Snow Mist Mountain, won't I freeze to death wearing this?"

The little boy said confidently, "Don't worry, sisters! The house is heated, it won't be cold!"

The two then realized that the room was indeed very warm, and the little boy was only wearing a thin set of clothes.

"You two, have you thought it over? Do you want to see Grandpa? If you do, come with me to the hot spring pool, and I'll take you for a bath!" the little boy asked.

Qiu Mang and Lin Yuan held the off-shoulder dress in their hands. Although they were somewhat unwilling, they thought that they had gone through so much trouble to come here, just to see Mr. Bai Mei.

"I'll go with you!"

"I'll go with you!"

The two spoke in unison.

The two followed the little boy to the hot spring pool. The boy opened a wooden door, led them inside, and then left.

Snow Mist Mountain is covered in snow all year round. The two of them hadn't slept well for several days while they were outside. Although they had brought blankets, they were often woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.

The two girls looked around at the steam rising from the hot spring pool, which looked very warm. They hadn't taken a bath for several days, and it would be nice to soak in it.

Qiu Mang quickly went over and locked the door from the inside.

After taking off their clothes and getting into the water, the two girls felt as if the cold they had endured for so many days had vanished in an instant, and their blood warmed up.

After a relaxing bath and changing my clothes, I heard someone knocking on the door.

"Are you two ready, sisters?"

"Alright!" Upon hearing this, Qiu Mang and Lin Yuan quickly put on their down jackets and then opened the door.

“Sisters, let me take you to see Grandpa! He’s been waiting for you in his room for a long time!” the little boy said.

"good!"

Qiu Mang and Lin Yuan followed the boy, turning and twisting their way into a room.

The cabin looks small and simple from the outside, but once you step inside, you'll find that the space is surprisingly large, and the decor is quite classic, not simple at all.

The door to the room was pushed open, and an elderly man with white hair was sitting at the table, writing something.

Qiu Mang greeted him somewhat nervously, "Mr. White Eyebrows."

"Hmm, you've arrived?" The old man put down his brush and looked up at the two of them.

Lin Yuan nodded nervously, "Yes, sir."

The old man stood up and looked at the little boy beside him. "Dong'er, you can go out now!"

The little boy replied respectfully, "Yes, Grandpa!"

After saying that, Dong'er turned and left, even closing the door behind him as he went out.

After the little boy left, only two girls and an elderly man with white hair remained in the room.

The old man spoke calmly, "Take off your outer clothes!"

Qiu Mang and Lin Yuan felt a pang of anxiety and unconsciously reached out to pull their clothes tighter around themselves.

"What? Didn't you need something from me? Is this all the sincerity you've got?" The old man squinted at the two of them.

Lin Yuan was so nervous that she stammered, "Um... Mr. Bai Mei, it is said that doctors are benevolent. You have been practicing medicine for many years, so you must be a doctor with medical ethics. I believe you must be a good doctor! Please don't do anything reckless!"

The old man chuckled softly twice, then looked at Qiu Mang, "This girl, you won't take your clothes off either? I heard you wanted me to save your boyfriend!"

Qiu Mang's eyes hardened. "Mr. Bai Mei, if it were any other request, I, Qiu Mang, would do my utmost, even if it meant going through fire and water. But I cannot grant this request!"

Mr. White Eyebrows looked at Qiu Mang with great interest. "Go through fire and water? Heh, little girl, what are you joking about? You can't even agree to this one request, and you expect me to go through fire and water for you?"

Qiu Mang stood ramrod straight. "Mr. White Eyebrows, I'm not joking. Please change your request!"

White Eyebrows stroked his equally snow-white beard. "Since you've brought it up, I can now make my request!"

Qiu Mang's eyes were firm. "Please speak!"

Bai Mei looked at her and said, "Dong'er and I have lived on this mountain for so many years, and it's quite boring. Besides, I'm getting old, and it's not easy for me to pick some Chinese herbs. Could you stay here and help me out?"

Qiu Mang's eyes widened. "Let me stay?"
