"Eldest, what do we do now? Without a body, we can’t report back, and we have no idea where that little girl died. Letting them wander around, they could’ve gone back with us properly, maybe even died together. Now it’s messed up, who knows what’s down the cliff. Should we go down and have a look?"

The leading man in black shook his head with regret: "Considering the dangers of Snow Wolf Mountain, even if they somehow survive, they’d be eaten by wolves. Moreover, there’s a deep pool below, it’s unnecessary to waste energy; let’s go back and report!"

Once the three subordinates heard this, they said no more and turned away to leave.

Yet, the man in black took a fixed look at a protruding tree below the cliff, pursed his lips, and only uttered a sentence when someone ahead called him.

"Wish you luck." He leaped into the pitch-dark grove, disappearing without a trace.

Tangyuan had been hiding in space for a long time, and only when she couldn’t hear any sounds did she jump out, grab the nearby vines, and, with great difficulty, climb up, supported by these vines and tree branches.

"Seems like that person sensed something; if I hadn’t hidden in space, I would’ve fallen by now."

Saying that person is kind is an overstatement; he just hasn’t reached the point of ruthlessly killing everyone.

The mountain’s humidity was heavy, the air was thick with moisture, her nose tickled, and as she was about to sneeze, she swiftly entered space. After a big sneeze, her nose felt much better. She tightened her clothes and hurried out to find Dong Yao...

In the original "Imperial Doctor Poisonous Concubine," the heroine and Maid fell off the cliff and were rescued by the Old Valley Master of Wind Valley. Not only did he teach her medicine, but also poison, eventually making her his granddaughter, giving her the family business to manage, while his grandson enjoyed relaxing.

The Shui Clan not only held a significant position in Jianghu but also laid a foundation for the heroine to find her mother in the future. But that was in the original; the original heroine was just a normal transmigrator. She isn’t; she has lived through twelve lifetimes, touching upon Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western Medicine, poison making, and even the Cat Clan’s spells. Would she rely on a Jianghu organization? Besides, she has read the original book; how could she not find her own mother?

Thus Jiang Xue dragged her Maid, feeding mosquitoes for days in the mountains before finding a suitable place for them on the mountaintop.

Here, the top was a steep cliff, mountain spring water flowed downward in the middle, and there was a recessed cave with clay nearby. Having come from the Beast World, she considered living on the mountain much easier than downhill. Most importantly, this place was close to a secret base of Wind Valley.

Even though she claimed not to rely on others, establishing relationships in advance could bring great benefits; why not do it?

She was glad these days no large animals were encountered; surviving by eating fruit and digging wild vegetables was barely manageable, but Dong Yao wasn’t as optimistic as she was.

"Xiao Xue, what do we do now? Are you really planning to live in the mountain and not go home?"

"Home? Do you think that home can still be returned to? Since they haven’t found our bodies, they’ll definitely come back again; going back would be asking for death. Better to make camp in this deep forest; look, it shelters us from wind and rain, there’s water, and though descending the mountain is tough, there’s an abundance of resources; we won’t starve ourselves. For now, let’s make do through this summer!"

Jiang Xue was raised by her mother’s Maid, who died saving them, and Dong Yao was a child picked up by Maid. Though meant to accompany her, it was actually to ensure Jiang Xue was looked after. In case Maid wasn’t there one day, at least the two sisters could care for each other; little did they expect to face a day like this.

The three lived in the village for six years, but alas they were found by enemies. She’s only six now; finding her relatives would be hard, better to settle down first.

The mountain, upon observation, was about a thousand meters high, rugged and steep, good for adventure, and many herbs were found. If these herbs were collected and sold for money, the two sisters could survive.

When Jiang Xue dragged Dong Yao, struggling to hit vines with sharp stones, selecting the best, most flexible ones to weave baskets, then carrying them to find clay in the mountain, she was shocked. She felt this wasn’t at all like her pampered, clueless, tearful young lady.
