"No, I heard a cat meowing around the yard at noon today. It meowed quite fiercely, but I didn't see any cat."

"Meow......"

This time the sound of the cat's meow was obviously much clearer. Ye Jintang stood up. She felt that it was Xuetuan's voice.

Before coming to White Horse Temple, she didn't know what was waiting for her there, so she didn't bring Xuetuan with her.

It’s not far nor near to White Horse Temple from the capital, but it’s still a little difficult for a kitten to run over.

Although she felt that the calls were somewhat similar, she also felt that it was impossible for Xuetuan to come here by himself.

Ye Jintang stood in the corridor and looked around. Suddenly, a snow-white figure jumped down from the wall next to him and landed silently on the thick snow.

"Xuetuan, is this really you?"

"How dare you be so brave to come all the way from the capital to the White Horse Temple alone? Aren't you afraid that you might run into some bad guys along the way and be captured and stewed into cat meat?"

Ye Jintang was very happy and went forward to pick up Xuetuan, then rubbed him hard in her arms. She didn't care even if the dirty mud on Xuetuan's paws rubbed against her body.

Liuli, who heard the sound, also came out of the house.

"Oh my god, I've only heard of puppies traveling thousands of miles to find their owners, but this is the first time I've seen a kitten walk this far to find its owner. Could it be that it's a spirit?"

Liuli also reached out and touched Xuetuan’s cat head hard.

Xuetuan was in a good mood and kept purring after being picked up by Ye Jintang.

"Liuli, go get some steamed buns. There's no meat in the temple, so Xuetuan can only eat some steamed buns to fill his stomach. Tomorrow when I go down the mountain, I'll take him down to eat some meat to satisfy his craving."

"I'll get it now."

I don’t know how many days Xuetuan has been out. After Liuli brought the steamed buns, it immediately started to eat them in big mouthfuls. It was obvious that it was very hungry.

While Xuetuan was eating the steamed bun, Ye Jintang took a slightly wet towel and wiped him clean from head to toe.

After wiping, the snow-white handkerchief turned gray.

After eating, the slightly wet snowball kept circling around Ye Jintang and being very affectionate.

"From now on, I will take you with me wherever I go and will never leave you alone."

Ye Jintang felt really sorry that Xuetuan could come here alone. Her Xuetuan was just lucky that he was not captured by anyone along the way.

But such good luck would not last forever, and she didn't want to lose the snowball suddenly one day.

A man and a cat were huddled together by the charcoal stove, warming themselves by the fire. Ye Jintang was drowsy from reading a medical book. Xuetuan's long, snow-white fur was all toasted and looked very fluffy and soft, as if he would feel very good to touch.

"Girl, the snow jade mushrooms we picked this time are only enough to make 5 bottles of jade cream. If only I hadn't fallen down the hillside, I could have made a few more bottles."

Liuli looked at the few snow jade mushrooms on the bamboo plate and felt a little annoyed.

"You can't say that. If you hadn't come up the mountain with me, we wouldn't even have 5 bottles now."

"Don't worry about making the jade cream. As long as the effect is good enough, I will immediately ask Zhou Cong to go to various herbal medicine shops to buy snow jade mushrooms."

"When the capital city snows in the next winter, there will definitely be herbalists going up the mountain to collect snow jade mushrooms. We should be able to collect a lot of good quality ones."

"That's right. Herbalists don't care if the snow jade mushrooms are cheap. As long as they can make money, they will definitely go to the mountains to pick them."

Liuli processed the medicinal materials very quickly. In a short while, all the snow jade mushrooms were placed on the bamboo flatbed to dry.

"I will go down the mountain tomorrow and bring back all the herbs you want. Liuli, if you have anything else besides herbs, I will bring that to you as well."

"No, just the herbs are enough."

They stayed in the White Horse Temple for a while and ate the vegetarian food from the temple. Ye Jintang thought about it and decided that she would buy some more dried fruits, snacks, candied fruits and the like when she went down the mountain tomorrow and bring them back for Liuli to eat.

If you can't eat meat, these snacks are very good to satisfy your hunger.

As for the pretty clothes, Ye Jintang simply ignored them. She and Liuli were both in mourning, so they would wear plain clothes even during the New Year, which saved a lot of money on buying clothes for the New Year.

Early the next morning, Ye Jintang put on a human skin mask and snowball and went down the mountain in a carriage.

There was a snowstorm yesterday and the mountain road was very slippery. It took me more than an hour to finally get down from the mountain.

She wasted no time and first went to fill up the medicine warehouse, and then went to buy a freshly slaughtered rooster.

She asked the old man who sold chickens to help her pluck the chickens, remove the internal organs and bones, and just wanted some fresh chicken.

"Sir, don't you want these chicken livers and bones?"

The old man has been selling roosters for decades, and this is the first time he has seen people buy chickens in this way.

"No, uncle, just help me throw it away. I just want this meat."

Ye Jintang bought a special plate with a goldfish painted on the bottom for Xuetuan at the market as a cat bowl.

She was embarrassed to feed the chicken to Xuetuan in front of so many poor people.

I bought a cat bowl and took Xuetuan onto the carriage. Then I put the cut chicken strips in the bowl and let it eat to its heart's content.

"Xuetuan, come and eat."

Xuetuan, who had been waiting for a long time, pounced on the cat bowl like a little tiger and started eating in big mouthfuls.

Listening to Xuetuan smacking his lips while eating, she wanted to taste the raw chicken.

Xuetuan has a good appetite and can finish a plate of fresh chicken in no time.

The greedy little cat, still unsatisfied, kept meowing around Ye Jintang, which meant it was not full yet and wanted to eat another big plate.

"Take it easy. This is nearly a pound of chicken. If you eat it all at once, you might get upset. Let's go for a walk. I'll give you the rest when we return to the White Horse Temple."

After circling around Ye Jintang for several times, Ye Jintang still didn't take out the chicken. Xuetuan finally realized that he had no meat to eat.

It squatted pitifully in a corner of the carriage, meowing coquettishly at Ye Jintang from time to time.

"Come on, I'll take you out for a walk."

Ye Jintang had already prepared the medicinal materials for Liuli in her space. She came down the mountain just to hang out and have a bite to eat.

She felt her face was turning green from eating vegetarian food all day.

The town was still very lively. Ye Jintang and his cat were strolling on the street.

Snowball is fine, it has claws, so it is very stable even when walking on slippery snow.

Ye Jintang was different. Even though she was wearing sheepskin boots with cowhide soles, she still slipped every three steps and had no image at all.

"Sir, you look a little strange to me. Why don't you come to our building, have a cup of tea, and listen to the girls sing a song to relieve your boredom."

A heavily made-up middle-aged woman suddenly stopped Ye Jintang. She lost her balance and almost fell into the middle-aged woman's arms.

The girls standing upstairs saw this scene and couldn't help laughing.

"Young Master, you must be careful. If you hurt Mother Shen, you may have to pay with your body."

As soon as the pretty girl finished speaking, a burst of laughter was heard.

Mother Shen's wrinkled face also broke into a smile, and she reached out to grab Ye Jintang.
