The road up the mountain gets wider and wider, with patients and their families seeking medical treatment on both sides, moving forward slowly.

At the foot of the mountain are tall shrubs and forests, and large rocks appear from time to time on both sides of the road for travelers to rest. Further up, there are some low pine trees, which are very pleasing to the eye.

As we approached the summit, more and more people appeared. The first thing that caught our eye was a magnificent boundary marker, towering into the clouds.

The inscription above reads "Xiuluo Mountain Daotai," the large, bold red characters powerful and vigorous. Two stone lions stand beneath the archway, adorned with vibrant flowers. Behind the archway, the mountain path has been replaced by a delicately paved road of bluestone bricks.

Neatly arranged inns lined both sides of the street, run by people dressed in uniform gray clothing. Each inn's collar was embroidered with the words "Shura Mountain Daotai." They warmly served the passing customers, creating a vibrant atmosphere of daily life.

I never imagined that the mountaintop would be so lively from the foot of the mountain.

After crossing the boundary marker, Lan Yamei looked at the endless bluestone road and immediately felt as if she were in an ancient town.

The main thing is that the layout of the whole street makes people suspicious. Could there be someone else like me? A time traveler?

Once the thought took hold, she couldn't shake it off. Lan Yamei couldn't tell whether she was more excited or more afraid at that moment.

It was still early, so I decided to take care of the business first, and then investigate before making any further plans.

Bluetooth Girl tightened her grip on the reins, slowed down, and continued walking uphill along the bluestone path, glancing at the people seeking medical help on both sides.

This place is very similar to the left and right traffic divisions on a modern road; people going uphill voluntarily walk on the right, and people going downhill voluntarily walk on the other side. It's very convenient!

Lan Ya Mei, observing this phenomenon, gritted her teeth. Her heart was filled with anticipation; it basically confirmed her suspicions—there were time travelers among them!

We absolutely must find this person!

They traveled another five or six hundred meters, but still couldn't see the end of the road. They dismounted and asked a shopkeeper by the roadside, "Young man, could you tell me how much longer it will take to go uphill from here?"

The young man was a rice merchant driving a horse-drawn cart. He was directing his two servants to unload the goods when he heard the voice. He turned around, looked at the young lady, and said, "Miss, are you here to seek medical advice or medicine?"

"I came here to seek medical treatment for my elderly father, and I don't know where to start," Lan Yamei said with a smile, trying her best to appear natural.

"Then don't go any further. You can't get in without a permit." The young man said, pointing to the inn next door. "These are all inns belonging to the Shura Dao Temple. Find one to stay in, and ask the manager inside. You'll find out what's going on."

"Okay, okay, thank you, buddy."

Lan Ya Mei, leading her horse, wanted to stay at an inn but had no money. She was thinking that she needed to get some money first!

Even a hero can be brought down by a penny; one can't stay in a hotel if one's pockets are empty.

"Hey, why are you leaving? You have a room!" The young man, unaware that the other person had no money, muttered to their retreating figure.

The old woman said there were many wild animals in these mountains, and perhaps they could hunt one or two to exchange for some travel expenses. But wild beasts could kill people, so she didn't dare challenge them and decided against it. She figured catching a few rabbits and pheasants would be enough for a few days' travel expenses, and with that thought, she hurried into the dense forest.

"Girl, girl, come out quickly! It's dangerous for you to go into the mountains alone." Several kind-hearted people saw this and hurriedly tried to stop her. Wild animals often attack people, and everyone has both fear and respect for this mountain. They would never come here without seeking medical help, and if they do come, they only stay in crowded areas.

Lan Ya Mei didn't turn around, just waved her hand casually, said "I know," and continued to crawl inside.

Sure enough, after leaving the main road for about a hundred meters, the road ended. It was overgrown with bushes, and the path was long and difficult.

A putrid smell gradually filled the air, like something rotting and stinking. I quickly covered my mouth and nose; the stench was almost unbearable.

Following the scent, I approached and discovered it was a wild rabbit lying rotting in the ground, caught in a trap, as could be seen from its fur.

I never imagined there would be animal traps here! Is it really like the legends say, where wild beasts frequently come out to bite people? Is that why Shura Mountain had to impose a martial law on the surrounding area?

Thinking this, Lan Yamei took out the dagger that Qiu Zeyu had given her, gripped it tightly, and struggled forward.

The man and his horse traversed the dense forest for half a day, until the sun was high in the sky, without encountering a single wild animal, but they did hear the sound of flowing water.

The woods were eerily quiet, with few birds flying by. Apart from the rustling of leaves in the wind, the only other noise was the little noise I made.

Bluetooth Girl was a little thirsty, so she followed the sound, wanting to get a couple of sips of water before making any further plans.

The man and his horse quickly found a narrow waterfall, surprisingly beautiful in this dense forest. Below the waterfall was a pool of clear, emerald-green water formed by years of erosion.

Lan Yamei sheathed her dagger, loosened the reins, and let the horse drink freely downstream. She then ran upstream, washed her face and hands, and scooped up a handful of water to drink.

The spring water had a slightly off smell and wasn't pure. Upon closer inspection of the water's surface, several small fish were found swimming around.

Even if they didn't catch any prey, catching a few fish to exchange for a night's lodging shouldn't be too difficult. With that in mind, they got right to it.

He took off his shoes and socks and placed them on the saddle to prevent them from getting dirty, then rolled up his trousers and went into the water to catch fish.

As soon as her foot touched the water, the mud and sand at the bottom of the pool immediately stirred up, and several fish took the opportunity to escape, leaving Lan Ya Mei empty-handed.

Seeing that no one was around, he simply took off his coat and went diving to catch fish.

She dove down to the bottom and discovered several five- or six-pound grass carp leisurely nibbling on the water plants. Startled by Lan Ya's sudden dive, she splashed around, kicking up mud and sand, and fled towards the bottom of the waterfall.

Lan Yamei gave chase relentlessly, but the bluefish seemed to be toying with her, escaping just as she was about to catch it. After a chase and a dodge, her efforts finally paid off, and she finally managed to grab one, weighing about five or six pounds. Lan Yamei gripped the fish's gills and surfaced.

He went ashore, found a straw, tied one end to the fish's tail and the other end to its gills, tying the fish into a crescent shape, and hung it on the saddle. After tidying himself up, he led the horse back the way he came.

Lan Yamei randomly picked an inn and asked, "Does the owner buy fish?"

When the waiter saw that it was a five or six-pound grass carp, he was initially delighted, but then he sighed and said, "We can't take it! All the inns just received their fish today, and we can't even sell them all. We can't take your fish. Take it home and eat it yourself!" With that, he tried to shoo him away.

"Unified delivery!" Hearing this phrase felt like stepping back into my own time, and my heart tightened again. I asked, "These are wild fish! Not only are they highly nutritious, but grass carp is also very beneficial for patients! They're definitely different from the fish you deliver."

Lan Yamei explained, hoping to close the deal.

"No, if you had delivered it yesterday, we might have accepted it, but we have so many fish in the shop today, you should leave!"
