Jiang Youchen, however, was reluctant. "Isn't the young master of the Wen family always frail and sickly? Otherwise, he wouldn't have to spend money on charity so often. What's so interesting about it?"

Xiao Youran ignored him, ran back into the house and told Su Shi, then picked up Xiao Bai and climbed directly onto the carriage, asking Uncle Feng to take them both back to Sanyang Village first.

Seeing that her brother was still standing on the ground and not getting into the car, she said somewhat angrily, "If you don't get in, I'm leaving first."

Jiang Youchen: ...

So, she took all the blame for her sister, but in the end, she's not even as good as that sickly, unlucky kid?

He resignedly climbed onto the carriage.

...

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the mansion.

As before, there was no one at the door, so the brother and sister pushed the door open and went inside.

Xiao Bai jumped down and rushed straight into the room.

Nan Zhuo was carrying a bowl of medicine when he came out and was surprised to see the brother and sister. "Why are you here?"

Xiaoyou Ran pulled her brother forward because she saw Xiaobai had already darted into the house.

Nan Zhuo was about to stop him when Doctor Gu pulled him back from the side, saying, "What are you shouting for? Our savior has arrived!"

Nan Zhuo: ? ? ?

Little White rushed straight to a window and leaped inside.

Xiao Youran and Jiang Youchen stopped in their tracks by the window: ...

Wen Yuanbai was half asleep on the bed when something landed on him with a light touch. He opened his eyes abruptly and saw the little tiger's round, black eyes.

His first thought was that this little white thing clashed with his name, and nothing good ever came from running into it!

He was about to slap the little tiger away with one paw.

But Xiaobai let out a soft "woof" sound from its throat as if it were feeling sorry for him.

His heart suddenly softened.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and two small figures rushed in.

Xiao Youran rushed to his bedside, her eyes already brimming with tears, her lips trembling as she cried out, "Dabai..."

Wen Yuanbai:......

Jiang Youchen behind: ...

Sis, your brother's here, right here! He's alright!

What are you crying about?!

Xiao Youran placed her hand on Wen Yuanbai's forehead; it was cool. He didn't have a fever. His eyes were wide open; he hadn't fainted or passed out.

She hiccuped, which stopped her crying.

Uh...yes, why is she crying?

The three people and the tiger, with eight eyes in total, stared at each other in a strange manner.

Jiang Youchen was the first to react, scolding the little tiger, "Little cat, why are you running so fast?! This is someone else's home!"

Little Tiger barked twice at him in protest.

Xiao Youran corrected her brother, saying, "The kitten isn't called kitten anymore, his name is Xiaobai."

Jiang Youchen's eyes immediately shifted to Wen Yuanbai's face, and after a moment, he finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Big White? Little White? Hahahaha—"

I feel at peace now!

It turns out that in my sister's mind, this pretty boy was on the same level as a kitten!

Wen Yuanbai's face was full of black lines. He felt that even if he died right now, he would be so angry that he would crawl up from the ground!

His face turned cold, and he exuded a chilling aura as he gave the brother and sister a cold look.

Jiang Youchen felt a chill run down her spine.

Wen Yuanbai propped himself up halfway and said coldly, "Are you here to laugh at me?"

Little Youran asked cutely, "What are you laughing at? Big White, you're not stupid, you're not poisoned. What's there to laugh at?"

Wen Yuanbai:......

Doctor Gu followed Nan Zhu in and burst into laughter upon hearing this, "You guys look mature beyond your years, but you're not even as good as a four-year-old toddler. She's more insightful than you!"

Xiao Youran looked at the doctor Gu with bright eyes.

After mocking Wen Yuanbai, Doctor Gu turned to Xiao Youran and asked, "Little girl, did you bring any miracle medicine today?"

Xiao You Ran: ……

Jiang Youchen recovered from the chill and asked in confusion, "Sister, what kind of miracle drug is this?"

He had heard that the last time Butler Zhang sent over a truckload of meat, saying it was to thank Xiao Youran for the medicine.

He didn't know what specific medicine it was.

Xiao Youran decisively grabbed her brother's sleeve, "Brother, isn't this the miracle drug you gave me last time!"

The protective brother-sister maniac instantly went online.

Jiang Youchen immediately perked up, "Oh, it's that medicine..."

He had a knowing look on his face.

Xiao Youran quickly looked at Doctor Gu and asked, "Doctor Gu, what illness has Da Bai contracted this time?"

Just as Doctor Gu was about to speak, Wen Yuanbai raised his hand to stop him, his expression cold, "This has nothing to do with you, you should leave now."

Xiao Youran was taken aback. These days, she had become quite well-known. Whether it was villagers or family members, everyone who saw her smiled and greeted her like she was a lucky charm. No one had ever treated her so coldly before.

Jiang Youchen couldn't stand the boy's cold tone, so he pulled his sister away, saying, "Sister, let's go. Since Young Master Wen is alright, there's nothing we can do to help by staying here."

As he turned around, something tumbled out of his arms.

When they carried the whole tree branch to the old clan chief's house that day, two red mushrooms fell down on their own, and he picked them up and hid them in his bosom.

Moreover, I always feel that there is a light fragrance emanating from it, which smells wonderful, so I carry it with me wherever I go, like a sachet that emits its own fragrance.

Just as Jiang Youchen was about to pick it up and put it back in her arms, Doctor Gu snatched it away.

Doctor Gu held it to his nose and smelled it carefully. Suddenly, he asked with delight, "This is red Ganoderma! Where did you get it from?"

Xiao Youran was completely bewildered. Isn't this a red mushroom?

Doctor Gu took another sniff and exclaimed excitedly, "Such a delicate fragrance! It must be over a hundred years old!"

The brother and sister both fell silent: ...

Suddenly remembering something, Jiang Youchen asked, "Does this red Ganoderma need to grow in a warm place?"

Doctor Gu shook his head, "No, this red Ganoderma prefers cold environments."

Jiang Youchen suddenly realized, "So this isn't a red mushroom, but a red Ganoderma lucidum, and it doesn't need a hot kang (heated brick bed)?"

After saying that, the brother and sister exchanged a glance, realized they were in trouble, and ran outside.

No wonder the old clan chief was puzzled; how could red mushrooms still be growing in the dead of winter?

It wasn't a red mushroom after all, it was a red Ganoderma lucidum!

The brother and sister arrived at the old clan chief's house, panting. They didn't even have time to greet the clan chief's wife before asking directly, "Where are the red mushrooms?"

The clan chief's wife pointed to the back room.

The two rushed to the back room and, sure enough, saw the old clan chief carefully examining a row of wooden boxes on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Xiao Youran said breathlessly, "Grandpa Chief, we've made a mistake! This isn't a red mushroom, it's a red Ganoderma!"

The old clan chief was also very surprised, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Youchen said, "Grandpa Clan Chief, Red Lingzhi doesn't need a warm climate; it prefers to grow in cold conditions."

The old clan chief pondered for a moment, then pointed to a dead tree in the corner and said, "You mean the one you brought last time wasn't a red mushroom but a red lingzhi?"
