Due to the terrible weather, the villagers did not go out. Hence, no one noticed Qi Qingyao coming in and out of the village. She carried her back basket and quickly walked into the mountain. The plants on the ground were all covered with thick layers of frost. The fog was so heavy that one could barely distinguish a male and a female from ten meters away. From twenty meters away, one could hardly distinguish a human and an animal.
Qi Qingyao followed the chaotic memory of the host. Once she entered the mountain, she dared not delay by a single step.
"The medicine must be gathered before the snow covers the mountain. Otherwise, this big fish will just be awaiting death." How can the cooked duck fly to one's mouth? (TN: A Chinese saying whereby an opportunity slips through one's fingers.) Since the man had been rescued, then she must certainly save the cash cow.
