Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Soon, Tianming led Yuefeng and the others to the surgical treatment room, where they met Xiaowu, who had already undergone suturing surgery.

The man's face was deathly pale, and his eyes held a murderous glint.

"Brother Feng, you're here!" Xiao Wu nodded to Yue Feng, his lips twitching slightly, a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"You suffered a loss? What exactly happened? Tell me. I've already spoken to the person and settled things here. Then I'll go avenge my uncle!" Yue Feng said calmly.

"This...I...my master forbade me to tell you!" Xiao Wu hesitated, pausing for a long time without giving a direct answer.

“I know you went into the mountains to collect the 200-year-old ginseng that the higher-ups wanted. Grandpa Wu told you not to tell because he thought I was still in the dark! There’s no point in you keeping it a secret any longer!” Yue Feng said to Xiao Wu, word by word.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu was taken aback and scratched his head with his uninjured left hand, feeling a bit agitated.

Yue Feng didn't say anything, just stared intently at Xiao Wu.

A few seconds later, Xiao Wu sighed and said, "Master accepted someone's commission to find a ginseng root for medicinal use. He then told us to prepare the supplies and horses for going into the mountains, and led a few of us into the old forest!"
Later, we...we hadn't even reached our destination when we were ambushed! The enemy used Russian weapons, and I even saw the face of a white Russian with my own eyes!
The situation was too sudden; we had no chance to retaliate. My instructor was shot, and I was grazed in the arm by a bullet!

Yue Feng nodded after listening: "And then? Continue!"

"Then, I untied a fast horse, put my master on the sled, and drove the horse down the mountain without stopping. Then I took my master to the hospital!" Xiao Wu continued.

"End?"

"It's over!!" Xiao Wu didn't dare look Yue Feng in the eye and replied.

"Damn, you're even wary of me? You think you can outsmart me? I'm asking you, where's Juntian? Where's Lao Mu?"

Xiao Wu's answer just now made no mention of his two companions, and he was vague about going into the mountains to look for ginseng. This was clearly a way of keeping his distance from Yue Feng.

Unbeknownst to him, Tianming had already told Yuefeng more details, which was why Yuefeng was now a little angry.

"Brother Feng, you...you know everything!" Xiao Wu's face fell, and he lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"I don't know why I came to the hospital to find you guys! Are you asking for trouble, kid? Can't you tell the difference between the big and small kings?" Yue Feng glanced at Xiao Wu with an unfriendly expression, his tone filled with anger.

Xiao Wu softened his tone and said, "My master specifically told me before he went into the operating room that I shouldn't tell you anything. He said you have a quick temper and are prone to impulsive actions!"
The group over there probably had the same goal as us coming into the mountains. They're very well-equipped and numerous. Three or five people going to seek revenge would be suicide! He's afraid you'll get hurt!

"Black Fang's people?" Yue Feng's eyes widened in anger upon hearing this, and his breathing became rapid.

That's how it should be. Ordinary people wouldn't suffer such a loss, at least not such a great loss. Only when facing a true master could Grandpa Wu end up in this situation.

"Yes! At least three or four tents, plus the support staff, there are probably a dozen or twenty people in total!"

Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, I understand! What's the situation with Grandpa Wu now?"

"He's still in the operating room. He was shot in the chest, and the injury is quite serious!"

Yue Feng nodded: "Let's wait outside the operating room first! Tiger should be able to contact us soon. If the hospital here has difficulty performing the surgery, we'll transfer you directly to the nearest military hospital!"

"Okay, I'll take you there!"

Soon, Xiao Wu led Yue Feng out of the lounge and headed straight for Wu Keji's operating room.

The operating room lights were on, but the doors were tightly closed.

When Yue Feng and the others arrived at the door with Xiao Wu, they could only pace anxiously back and forth in the corridor.

About five minutes later, a middle-aged doctor wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses walked in from the other side of the office.

"Which of you is Wu Keji's nephew? Is there one named Yue Feng?"

Yue Feng glanced at the doctor: "Doctor, this is Yue Feng! My brother called you, right?"

"I was given instructions from above, but I don't know the specifics!"

"Yes, I understand! Did you need something from me?"

"Please wait here for a moment. I'll change into sterile clothing and go into the operating room! My instructions are to find out the current status of the surgery and the patient's condition! If we're not confident, we'll transfer them to the Third Military Medical University!"

Yue Feng nodded: "I'm sorry to have troubled you!"

Soon, the middle-aged doctor entered the operating room and waited inside for about five minutes before slowly opening the door and coming out.

"How is it, doctor?" Yue Feng immediately came over to ask.

"The patient's condition is a bit complicated. During the process of opening his abdominal cavity to treat the bullet wound, we found obvious abnormal tissue in his lungs! Our preliminary judgment is that it is most likely primary lung cancer! The patient's family needs to be prepared!"

Xiao Wu panicked upon hearing this: "What? Is there a mistake? My master is so healthy, how could he get cancer! There must be a mistake!"

Yue Feng had heard the truth from Zhao Dashan, so he was prepared and immediately pulled Xiao Wu aside.

"Xiao Wu, stop making trouble! I know about this!"

"Brother Feng, did you know?" Xiao Wu's expression was complicated and incredulous.

Yue Feng did not respond to Xiao Wu, but continued talking to the doctor.

"Is there a way to achieve the best of both worlds as much as possible? To remove as much excess tissue as possible, focusing on external injuries?"

"It's possible, but the consequences are hard to guarantee! It's impossible to completely clean it up, and there's a possibility of infection and cancer cell spread! Don't even mention our hospital; even the top hospitals in the capital can't do it!" the doctor said truthfully.

"I understand. You've done your best to communicate with the surgeon, and we'll accept whatever the outcome may be!"

"it is good!"

"A complete cleanup would likely require a large amount of blood, I'll arrange it right away!"

"I'm sorry to have troubled you!" Yue Feng said politely, bowing with his hands clasped.

"That's all for now. We can talk anytime if you have any further questions!" "Okay!"

Yue Feng watched the doctor leave, and once he was out of sight, Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask again, "Brother Feng, what's going on with my master's cancer? He led us into the mountains, and he seemed perfectly fine! He's even stronger than me on foot!"

"You don't know because you don't want you to know! I just heard it from my master!"
It was precisely because I was worried about his health that I made a trip to Tiecheng to ask Tianming about the situation!

Now that it's happened, let's not dwell on it!
I asked a friend to speak with the hospital leaders, and they will definitely do everything they can to save Grandpa Wu!
Since he survived a rifle bullet to the chest and made it to the hospital, it means the old man is not destined to die. Don't worry about it and stop making a fuss over a few words!
Now that the elders who could make decisions are gone, it's our turn to make the choices. Stand tall and be a man!

"Mmm!" Xiao Wu responded, tears sliding down his cheeks.

What followed was a long wait.

The surgery lasted a full seven hours, and even the attending physician looked noticeably weaker when he came out of the operating room.

"Doctor, how is my uncle?" Yue Feng asked with concern as he approached.

"The patient's condition is currently stable and requires 72 hours of observation. We performed a meticulous debridement and suturing procedure, carefully treating most of the damaged tissue in the chest cavity! The surgery can only be considered truly successful after the safe period has passed!"

However, you need to be mentally prepared for one thing: the abnormal tissue growth in the patient's lungs is most likely a malignant tumor, which will be confirmed by a biopsy.

We have performed the cleaning and removal during the surgery, but the probability of infection, spread, and recurrence of this disease is very high. Even with the most perfect treatment, the probability of postoperative bleeding is extremely high, and the probability of infection is also extremely high!
My suggestion is to wait until the patient's condition stabilizes and they have passed the critical period, then transfer them to a military hospital with better treatment facilities as soon as possible!

"Okay, thank you! We've already made preparations. Once the situation here stabilizes a bit, we'll arrange the transfer to another hospital!"

"That's all for now. Call the doctor immediately if anything happens!"

……

Yue Feng and a few friends personally pushed the old man into the special care ward, and then sat outside the door waiting.

The first challenge is when the old man will wake up; the second challenge is whether bleeding will occur after he wakes up; and the third challenge is whether subsequent infection can be avoided.

Cancer patients with lung injuries have already weakened blood clotting function, and if bleeding occurs, the risks of infection and organ failure will be greatly increased.

This wait lasted for three days.

Yue Feng and his brothers took turns staying at the hospital, fearing that something unexpected might happen to Grandpa Wu.

To be honest, Grandpa Wu's physical condition was much stronger than the doctor had predicted. Perhaps it was because he had drunk sheep blood wine before, but Wu Keji was unconscious for three days and woke up early on the fourth day.

The high-risk factors that the doctors were worried about, such as bleeding and infection, did not occur.

At Yue Feng's request, the nurses let him into the ward.

Wu Keji lay on the bed, pale-faced, breathing steadily.

"Uncle! I know everything!" Yue Feng said softly.

"Alas, in the end, trouble still arose! Old Mu and Juntian, they died because of this old man who's about to die!!"

Wu Keji sounded extremely dejected. He didn't mention his own injuries, but instead lamented the loss of his brother as a result.

“I’ve already contacted the experts who can get into the mountains! Zhang Wenhui found five veterans who are always out in the woods, plus the four of us from the hunting team, that’s enough!” Yue Feng said coldly, his eyes narrowed.

Wu Keji shook his head and said weakly, "Not enough! If we don't want to suffer losses, we need to prepare at least twice as many people! The opposing team has at least a dozen combat personnel!"

They're after that old ginseng! You can tell from their weapons that they came well-prepared!
If it were just Blacktooth poachers crossing the border in winter, they wouldn't be carrying defensive grenades!

Defensive grenades, as the name suggests, are inferior to offensive grenades, but their actual effect is the opposite. They're completely useless for hunting, which shows the opponent was well-prepared.

"If we don't have enough people, I'll ask Brother Tiger for help! I'm a little curious now. Last time I called you, didn't you say you wouldn't get involved in these tricky things? Why are you leading a team into the mountains again!"
"If my master hadn't sensed something was amiss and sent me to Tiecheng, I wouldn't even know you'd gone into the mountains!"

"When you're in the underworld, you're not in control of your own destiny! Old Mu and the others are all carrying murder charges! Someone came to me and used these old cases to blackmail me, so I had no choice! Now it's all good, the cases aren't settled, I've lost my life, but I don't have to worry about the aftermath!"

"Are there really any wild ginsengs that meet the requirements?" Yue Feng sighed upon hearing this, then changed the subject and asked.

"Yes, this is something that our ginseng gang has protected for generations of leaders! Originally, I didn't plan to use it, and I didn't even think about it when I was diagnosed with my illness!"

But the ginseng gang can disband, but my old brothers who followed me can't be left behind!
All I can say is that the person who approached me knew my background all too well! The conditions were laid out in the open, and I had no choice but to comply!

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng remained silent for a long time with a cold expression.

A full five seconds passed before Yue Feng asked, "Are you from the Zhang family?"

"How come you..." Upon hearing the words "Zhang family," Wu Keji was stunned, his face full of doubt.

“The Zhang family is the ones who need the ginseng to save their lives! I guess it’s them who are looking for you! Or maybe they’re using someone else to contact you!” Yue Feng explained.

“That makes sense. Since you have dealings with Jinlong Ye Xiaojun and the others, it’s not surprising that you know the inside story!”
Xiaofeng, I have two choices in front of me now. It's just the two of us in the house, and I want to hear your thoughts!

"Please speak!"

"We've been ambushed in a planned and organized manner. It must be because the information about the old ginseng at our destination was leaked! I suspect they know the approximate area of ​​this place, but now it's freezing cold, and they can't find the location of that old ginseng!"

"Yes! With the heavy snow blocking the mountains, it's indeed difficult to find ginseng! Please continue!"

"Otherwise, let's take a gamble. If we're right, our partners won't be able to find the target even if they search three feet into the ground! Let's stop dealing with the ginseng. I've lost two men and injured two others. Let's call it a day and give the Zhang family an explanation!"

Otherwise, they could expose the whole thing and let the Zhang family arrange for their own people to deal with those Black Tooth people and then dig up that ginseng!
As long as the area is locked down and people are willing to put in the effort, there is still a way to find that ginseng, it just will take a while!
Either way, we won't have to bear any subsequent risks!

After listening to Wu Keji's words, Yue Feng did not respond, but instead quickly thought through them repeatedly in his mind.

Instead of choosing between the two options, Yue Feng abruptly asked, "Grandpa, if this ginseng were in our hands, could it help with your injuries and illness?"
You know me, whether outsiders live or die has absolutely nothing to do with me, Yue Feng! I only care about my own people!

Upon hearing this, Wu Keji sighed.

"I knew it! You're quick-witted, you can't be fooled!" (End of Chapter)
