"What's up? I don't seem to know the young master of your martial arts school?"
"That's right."
The middle-aged man continued, "The young master wants to go into the mountains to search for a medicinal herb while winter is still early this year."
"I happened to hear that you studied medicine and are especially familiar with the paths in the mountains, so I sent us here to invite you. Please lead us into the mountains."
"Don't worry, little brother. It's not a particularly hard-to-find herb. It's just for treating colds."
"My young master is quite filial and cannot bear to see his elders suffering from illness, so he made this request."

“Yes.”
Xia He waved his hand, afraid that Li Huilan would worry, so he smiled and said,
"Nothing much, they just wanted me to help find some medicinal herbs, but I refused."
Only then did Li Huilan feel relieved.
