Hunters from Bluestone Ridge pursue a talking white deer for a reward of sixty taels of silver. Desperate for money to treat his son Xiaoman's injured leg, hunter Zhao Qingfeng hunts the deer relentlessly. Song Laogen takes pity on the white deer protecting its young and steps in to defend it. When a wildfire traps everyone in the mountains, the white deer leads them to safety. Zhao Qingfeng finally realizes his mistake and gives up the reward. The white deer brings medicinal herbs that help Xiaoman recover. The villagers dismantle their hunting traps and establish a rule: those who rely on the mountains must also care for them, protecting the creatures that live in the forest.
