Because Ranran had never been like this before, Qiaolian was frightened and hurriedly asked for a doctor at the temporary place where she was staying. However, when the doctor came to see her, he said that the patient's pulse was so weak that he could hardly feel it and that he was probably about to die, so he told the couple to prepare for the funeral early.

After saying this, the doctor didn't even charge the consultation fee, and left in a hurry with the medicine box.

Poor Ran Ran also heard what the doctor said, but smiled and comforted his parents, "Don't be sad, Dad and Mom. My illness has been...always a burden to you. If I die now, you will be relieved. My life... has not been bad. I am satisfied to have you as my parents."

The poor couple looked helplessly at Ran Ran who tried so hard to comfort them, and cried bitterly. At this moment, Qiao Lian suddenly remembered the prediction of the faceless immortal that her daughter would not live long.

Although she did not take it seriously at the time, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw at this moment. After walking for two days, they arrived in Yongcheng. The couple hurriedly asked the locals how to get to Xishan.

As a result, the man said, what a coincidence, West Mountain is not far away, and there is indeed an immortal doctor on the mountain, named Su Yishui.

After hearing this, Qiao Lian completely put aside her doubts and hurriedly drove the donkey cart to Xishan with her husband.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Qiao Lian looked at the steep mountain road and was about to climb up with her daughter on her back. She saw the doctor Su, wearing a veil and a hat, standing in a thatched pavilion at the foot of the mountain, as if waiting for someone.

Qiao Lian didn't care about his scary appearance, so she rushed over and kowtowed to the doctor, begging him to save her life.

Su Yishui walked over, looked at Xue Ranran lying in the donkey cart, took out a porcelain bottle, and asked Qiao Lian to pour it into Ranran's mouth. In a short while, a hint of red appeared on her waxy yellow face, as if a flower had absorbed water and regained some vitality.

Mr. Su is indeed a miracle doctor. Although he looks a bit ugly, he is still worthy of our gratitude.

Ran Ran found the water extremely sweet. After catching her breath, she asked, "What kind of potion is this?"

Su Yishui said calmly through the veil: "The water soaked in tree roots..."

Ranran actually wanted to ask about the prescription of the medicine, but who would have thought that this miracle doctor was so cunning and said such perfunctory words.

Mr. Su said that taking medicine is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. If he wants Xue Ranran to be healthy, he must keep her.

Because of Ranran's illness, the couple was worried sick. Now they finally found a way and naturally saw the light of hope. But if they were asked to leave their beloved daughter behind, the couple naturally could not agree.

The daughter was already sixteen years old, and the difference between men and women must be carefully considered. So they wanted to keep their daughter, and they wanted her to stay, to serve Mr. Su as a servant for free, and to accompany their daughter while she recovered.

Unfortunately, Mr. Su acted very official and just said that he liked quietness and didn't like outsiders staying in the mountains. If they didn't want to leave their daughter behind, they could do as they pleased, but they just had to leave one or two taels of gold as medical money.

Qiao Lian was stunned when she heard this, and she muttered that she had never heard such an outrageous medical fee. The doctor was going to raise the price and ask for an exorbitant amount of money? Su Yishui seemed too lazy to argue with the village woman, and he stopped asking for money and turned around to go up the mountain.

When Qiao Lian saw the man leave, she immediately followed behind and called for help anxiously, but Doctor Su walked so fast that he disappeared in a moment.

Xue Liangui stopped Qiao Lian and whispered, "Don't shout. You'll make him angry if you do. Look at that gentleman's gown, it's old and washed white. He probably doesn't have a good life. He finally got an order, so he wants more."

Qiao Lian clapped her hands anxiously, "Isn't it true? But the price he asked for is too outrageous. He should have bargained for it! Why did he just leave without saying a word?"

Qiao Lian wanted to go up the mountain, but for some reason, she couldn't get in.

Finally, they had no choice but to take their daughter back to the carriage inn where they were staying.

I heard from the shopkeeper that only the wealthy and powerful could go to Xishan for medical treatment, and Mr. Su was very picky and would not see every patient. He only saw three patients a year, and no matter the severity of the illness, the consultation fee for each visit was 100 taels of gold.

Qiao Lian was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help asking, with such a high price, who would come to him for medical treatment? Doesn't that mean he is too rich and stupid?

But the shopkeeper looked at her like a country bumpkin and said, "No one? You're really trying to get someone here! Gold has a price, but a miracle doctor is priceless! If you don't believe me, tomorrow is the first day of his clinic this year. You'll know when you go and see him. Miraculous Doctor Su has made an exception and prescribed medicine for your daughter for only one or two ounces of gold. That's really a rare mercy!"

Qiao Lian was mocked by the shopkeeper with a gun and a stick, and she felt uneasy. The next day, the family drove the donkey cart to the foot of the West Mountain again.

But this time, they didn't even reach the base of the mountain wall. The roads and bridges at the foot of the mountain were blocked by all kinds of luxurious carriages.

It is said that there were so many princes and nobles who came to seek medical treatment that many of them were squeezed out of the queue just based on seniority.

This time, only the great Han Yuchen who followed the faceless man came down the mountain. He looked at the pile of visiting cards that were presented to him, picked out three at random, read out the names, and asked everyone else to leave.

At this point, those who didn't get the chance to be treated were furious. One of the servants dressed in fancy clothes snorted angrily, "My son is the son of the current Prime Minister, Lord Lin. Why are you treating some petty officials in the countryside and bypassing my son?"

Yu Chen said with a stern face: "My master's treatment requires good fortune. If a person is evil-hearted and treacherous, no matter how good the medical skills are, he will not be able to cure him."

Prime Minister Lin was a well-known treacherous prime minister who had framed many loyal officials. After these words were spoken, the popularity of some people who were not ranked high also disappeared. No matter what, this Mr. Su was really tough enough to save the face of the powerful and noble so ruthlessly.

The servants of the Lin family were furious. These powerful slaves who came from the capital had always been hot-tempered. After hearing this, they bluntly said that how dare the country boy slander the officials of the current dynasty, and they reached out to arrest him immediately.

But before his hand touched Yuchen, he saw golden light shining on his clothes, and the slave let out a wail and rolled on the ground.

It is said that Mr. Su is an immortal who practices in the mountains. Even the two servants who accompany him are immortals and are not ordinary people.

After displaying his magical powers in this way, Yu Chen turned around and went up the mountain.

Those whose names he mentioned could go up the mountain unimpeded, but if others wanted to go up the mountain, they were blocked outside by an invisible wall and could not get in no matter what.

This time, the person who came to seek medical treatment for the first time was completely shocked, and the prime minister's son in the sedan chair also scolded the servant, saying that he should not speak rudely to the immortal. If it didn't work this time, he could come back to seek medical treatment next time.

It seems that Mr. Su's medical skills are really amazing. Even the prime minister's son dare not offend him.

Now Qiao Lian, who was watching from a distance and listening to the crowd's discussions, was completely convinced. Only then did she realize how much she had missed out on this priceless and magical doctor.

Seeing that her daughter was listless again when she woke up the next morning, Qiao Lian wanted to sell herself to save her daughter and wanted to kneel down and beg the miracle doctor again.

After the crowd seeking medical treatment had dispersed, she could not wait to lead her daughter into the mountain. However, when they reached the foot of the mountain, the mountain seemed to be covered by a cage and they could not get in.

After going around a few times like this, it was almost dusk and Ranran couldn't help but climb down from the ox cart and try to walk forward a few steps, and he walked in easily.

Seeing that his parents couldn't get in, Xue Ranran thought for a moment and said, "Mom, you stay with Dad and wait for me at the foot of the mountain. I'll be back soon."

Qiao Lian had never let her daughter leave her side before, let alone go to such an evil mountain. How could she let her go alone?

But Xue Ranran smiled and said, "If those masters want to arrest me, my father and mother are no match for them. I don't think Mr. Su is a bad person. We have already offended him before. He is very kind to let me go up the mountain. Please rest assured, mother, I will be back soon."

Qiao Lian knew that although the child was weak, he had a very clear understanding of things since he was a child, and what she said made sense.

Seeing that Ranran's cheeks, which had turned rosy yesterday after she took the medicine, had turned pale yellow again today, Qiaolian was at a loss as to what to do. She had to give her daughter a try and let her go up the mountain first.

So Ranran said goodbye to his mother and went up the mountain alone.

Strangely enough, after walking into the mountain, my weak body felt much lighter and my stuffy chest allowed me to breathe more smoothly, just like a fish in a net returning to water. I felt indescribably comfortable.

She took a few deep breaths, then lifted her skirt and climbed up the winding mountain road.

This mountain is different from other mountains. It is covered with lush greenery, which is refreshing to look at.

Although there were many forks in the road on the mountain, Ranran felt more and more dazed as he walked, as if he had walked on the same road in a dream before, and he did not take the wrong path and reached the top of the mountain smoothly.

When they reached the top of the mountain and looked at the dilapidated houses built against the cliffs, Ran Ran finally understood why the seemingly isolated Su Gao people were obsessed with making money - it would indeed cost a lot of money to maintain and rebuild the old houses high in the mountains.

However, looking at this dilapidated and shabby courtyard, I really don’t know where all Mr. Su’s money went.

The handsome lady Yu Tong had been waiting in front of the house since early morning. When she saw Ran Ran, she said to her, "The master is treating a patient. You can wait in the east room."

After saying that, she led Ranran to a house adjacent to a garden.

Ran Ran grew up in the village and had never seen any nice houses. But from the beams and corners covered with cobwebs, he could tell that the house was built elegantly and the old curtains hanging by the windows were made of fine gauze.

Even Mr. Ding seemed reluctant to use such fine fabrics to make clothes!

Unfortunately, these fabrics have been used for too long and have faded badly, exuding the smell of age and decay... Although it can be seen that the floor and the table are swept regularly, it is obviously a bit beyond the ability of the master and servants to take care of such a house on the mountain.

However, compared with the dilapidated house, the plate of cakes on the table was really attractive, each one was delicate and small like a blooming cherry blossom.

Ranran had been hungry for a long time, and she wanted to eat the cakes, but she couldn't move, so she could only stare at them.

Yu Tong kindly reminded her: "...My master has been fasting for a long time. Although my brother and I have not reached the immortal realm, we try to eat only one meal a day. This cake is made of wax and cannot be eaten. It is just placed here to avoid the table being too empty."

Ran Ran nodded in admiration. It was obvious that although Yu Tong, the housekeeper, was very frugal with her money, she also had some elegant pursuits. If there were any visitors on the mountain, she could put out a plate of wax cakes to save face.
