Jiang Sheng was not afraid that he would report to the court. If he had the time, he would have run away long ago, not to mention that he needed help from him now. This person would not do such a stupid thing, otherwise he would not have come to this day.

Only if one knows the current situation can one escape unscathed.

The two men faced each other, and no one spoke for a while.

After a long pause, Lin Chenghe nodded. "I understand what you mean. As long as my mother can be saved, I will naturally obey Beihuang's orders in the future. As for the capital, I can no longer return."

Jiang Sheng's lips curled up, and he quickly returned to normal: "Since you have agreed, then I will naturally save the old lady. However, the snow lotus is difficult to find, so we must set off after lunch at the latest."

"We also need to prepare the Ice Jade Box. This will ensure that Snow Lotus will be alive for half a month after it is found. Then we can use the medicine naturally."

"...Did Doctor Yang agree?"

You agreed so easily, aren't you afraid that he will regret it in the future?

"Doctor Yang, I only made a promise, not any actual benefits. Aren't you worried that I might regret it later?"

Jiang Sheng smiled upon hearing this, and said calmly, "If you regret it later, it will naturally be my fault for misjudging you. I will have to bear the consequences, and it has nothing to do with you, sir."

"Besides, since you're willing to spend money to hire a doctor to study the plague, you have such a noble character. Naturally, you'll keep your promise and won't go back on your word."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Lin Chenghe felt relieved and said, "Doctor Yang is truly insightful. It was me who was petty. I've made a promise and I won't go back on it."

"We'll set off this afternoon. If you can cure the poison in my mother, just give me instructions in the future."

Jiang Sheng nodded and glanced at the time outside.

He whispered, "It's getting late, sir. Let's go eat early and leave early after dinner."

"Okay, thank you, Doctor Yang."

The two of them left the study and soon arrived at the Qianweiju box.

As soon as Mr. Bai and Mr. Yan sat together, they started quarreling, neither of them giving in, and chattering non-stop.

Seeing this, Lin Chenghe offered some words of advice: "You two are both doctors. It's fine to discuss medical techniques, but please don't damage the harmony."

"Hmph, did you hear what the Lord said? You old man just talk too much and are always good at pretending to be annoying. Shut up, I don't want to hear any more from you."

"You sullen face! It's not bad enough that you have a sullen face every day, and you still have the nerve to say that to me. I think it's because of your sullen face that you haven't gotten married at such an old age."

The two of them started arguing with each other.

Lin Chenghe reluctantly stood up and walked over to them, saying, "How about this, the two of you sit separately? I'm treating you all to a meal today, so please don't start a quarrel."

Others echoed, "That's right, Mr. Bai, Mr. Yan, you are all over fifty years old, please don't make things difficult for the adults."

The two of them looked at each other, snorted, and turned away.

Jiang Sheng sat next to Mr. Yan.

Soon the food arrived and everyone started eating. They were quite quiet as they ate without talking or sleeping. Soon someone spoke up, "Master Lin, the epidemic situation has been settled."

"I want to go home early to visit you, and I hope you will agree."

"I hope your Excellency will agree."

Lin Chenghe smiled and nodded, and asked someone to bring the silver. He thanked them warmly, "This matter is all thanks to you all. I offer you a toast. Of course, I promised you a lot of silver."

After the meal, the others left one after another.

Jiang Sheng walked closer and whispered, "I'll go back to get my things and then go to the government office to find you. We'll leave as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you, Doctor Yang."

Soon, several people rode out of the city and headed towards Tianhan Mountain. In order to save time, they ate dry food on the way and did not enter the town.

On the third day, we finally arrived at the foot of Tianhan Mountain.

I could feel the cold before I even went up the mountain. I was wearing a cotton robe, and the breath I exhaled was filled with a faint white mist. You can imagine how cold it would be on the top of the mountain.

Jiang Sheng was carrying a bag filled with dried meat, steamed buns, etc. It would be difficult to find prey in the mountains, so it would be better to bring more food with him.

"Everyone, let's go up the mountain."

"yes."

The group walked towards the top of the mountain. When they reached halfway up the mountain, they could clearly feel that the snow under their feet was getting deeper and deeper. If they were not careful, their shoes and calves would be frozen.

Jiang Sheng looked at the white sky that filled the room, and thought of the record in the bamboo house book. He took out a few black cloth strips and handed them over: "Blank your eyes, you can avoid snow blindness."

Lin Chenghe was visiting Tianhan Mountain for the first time and asked in confusion, "Doctor Yang, what is snow blindness?"

"This disease is caused by looking at snow for a long time, especially endless snow. After a long time, even if you go down the mountain, you can't see anything but white."

"It's like a blind person whose eyes have become accustomed to the snow. It takes time for them to recover. If you get this disease in this cold mountain, you'll be dead soon."

Jiang Sheng said seriously, "The black cloth can prevent snow blindness. If we don't get snow blindness, we won't lose our way and it will be safer."

Lin Chenghe understood what he said and thanked him softly: "Thank you, Doctor Yang, for reminding us. Otherwise, we would be in trouble."

"It's okay, everyone, just be careful. Although it's a little difficult to go up the mountain, fortunately there aren't many wild animals there, so you don't have to worry too much about safety."

Before dark, several people found a cave and planned to rest for a while. However, their calves were wet and cold, and they would be exhausted if they continued walking.

The fire started and the wood crackled.

The coldness around was dispelled a lot by the firelight. Everyone took off their shoes and socks and put them aside to warm them. Their legs and feet had long lost feeling, and they slowly regained consciousness while warming themselves by the fire.

A feeling of numbness and pain comes over me, and only I know how it feels.

Jiang Sheng was also shivering with cold. If he hadn't also wanted to find snow lotus and plant it in the space to nourish his grandmother and mother in the future, he would not have risked coming here to suffer.

The clay pot was hung up, melted snow was put in it, and rice, dried meat, etc. were poured in, and the meat porridge was cooked little by little.

As time passed, the fragrance wafted out, my stomach growled uncontrollably, and my Adam's apple rolled as I became more and more greedy.

"Mmm, it smells so good! Doctor Yang was thoughtful enough to bring a clay pot up the mountain. This way we can eat hot food all the time and won't be so cold."

Jiang Sheng smiled but said nothing. People with internal strength could actually tolerate the cold, but their shoes and socks would easily get wet, and that damp cold was the most unbearable.

"Everyone, remember to take a medicinal bath when you go back, especially your legs. Otherwise, if you catch a cold, you will suffer a lot when you are old."

Lin Chenghe thanked him softly, "Okay, thank you Doctor Yang for the reminder. Phew, this Tianhan Mountain is indeed as famous as it is said to be. It's really cold with the snow and ice never melting all year round."

Jiang Sheng hummed, used bamboo chopsticks to peel the porridge in the earthenware pot, and nodded: "Just wait a little longer, eat some hot porridge, and take turns to keep watch at night."
