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

"At most a month or two? Your request is to delay it until after the New Year as much as possible?"

Upon hearing the answer at this time, Yue Feng asked a question out of curiosity.

Jinlong glanced at Ye Xiaojun, then nodded: "Yes! It involves other matters, and this timing is quite sensitive; it will affect the overall situation and the subsequent development direction!"

Yue Feng nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Although the details weren't explained, the principle was clear: some things may seem unimportant if they're a little off in time, but if they get stuck, they're stuck. Once the opportunity is missed, there may never be a second chance. Yue Feng understood this principle.

After finishing the call, the three fell silent. Yue Feng could tell that the two brothers were both very worried.

“It’s getting late, why don’t I go back and rest first? Let’s meet tomorrow at noon to hear my uncle’s definite answer, and we can discuss the rest then,” Yue Feng said.

“Okay, then I’ll drive you back!” Jinlong immediately stood up from his chair.

"Then I'll go home first!"

Ye Xiaojun followed Jinlong out of the gate, said goodbye, got into his car, and parted ways with Yue Feng at the door.

Yue Feng climbed into the passenger seat of the car, and the Jinlong started the car, moving towards Yue Feng's home.

On the way, Yue Feng couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Young Master Jin, what's going on with Xiao Jun? I feel like he's acting a bit sullen today, which isn't like him at all!"

Jinlong curled his lip: "What else could it be? It's because of my own situation! This time, the impact is much greater than the last time!"

"His own situation? Even if it changes, it has nothing to do with him, a junior! Do you think his family will just stand by and watch?"

Yue Feng scratched his head, somewhat not understanding the meaning behind the words.

Jinlong explained irritably, "Do you think being born into a family like ours only has advantages and no disadvantages?"
Yes, with these uncles and elders looking after us, it's much easier for us to get things done and make money than for ordinary people. But there are also things we can't choose!
My marriage to Ma Xiaoning, the eldest daughter of the Ma family, is arranged. We will get married on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month!

Xiao Jun's family is also making preparations in advance! The Ye family wants to arrange a marriage for Xiao Jun, and although they haven't officially confirmed it yet, it's highly likely they won't change their minds!

Upon hearing Jinlong's words, Yuefeng immediately realized that Feng Huanping had mentioned Jinlong and the Ma family's daughter before. Feng Huanping had said that Jinlong had gotten the Ma family's daughter pregnant and had been locked up by his father.

So, the root of the problem lies here!

"A marriage alliance?" Yue Feng glanced at Jinlong.

Jinlong waved his hand nonchalantly: "That's the gist of it! But I'm pretty clever, so I made my move early and picked a woman who's at least pretty."

Ye Xiaojun's situation was a bit miserable. The woman his family chose for him had a pockmarked face and was already 25 after the New Year, still unmarried! Otherwise, he would have been wearing a long face all night, like we owed him money!

"Okay, so that's how it is! It's just the two of us in the car now, so if I say anything inappropriate, don't get angry!" Yue Feng nodded, suddenly understanding.

"you say!"

"Was this a case of being prepared for a rainy day or just a lucky accident?"

Jinlong waved his hand: "I didn't hear any rumors beforehand, but I was quite prescient! The incident that happened above us last time served as a warning to our families. Although my family wasn't affected, we can't wait until the last minute to start taking precautions!"

Since I can't marry the person I like anyway, I might as well find someone decent-looking and pleasing to the eye, and get married through flirting! That way, with my future in-laws' help, things will be much more stable!

Yue Feng nodded after listening, swallowing back the jokes he had planned to make fun of Jinlong.

Jinlong pursed his lips, sighed, and said, "Alright, I know what you originally wanted to say, that you were laughing at me for not being able to control my crotch and causing trouble so I'll get a beating from my family."
Having that thought means you don't really know me! I'm a womanizer, but I have class; I never prey on innocent women!

In this respect, Yue Feng really admired Jin Long. All the girlfriends Yue Feng had met before, whether they were foreign beauties or pretty young ladies, always solved problems with money and never did anything like bullying others.

"If that's how you put it, then I take back my filthy thoughts! You're awesome!" Yue Feng gave Jin Long a thumbs up.

"Haha, that's right! I never mince words when it comes to these things! By the way, what are your thoughts on asking Uncle Wu to help find ginseng?"

Jinlong responded with a smile, then changed the subject to get down to business.

Yue Feng scratched his head: "Me? What else can I think about? If Grandpa Wu can help me find out, then I'll lend a hand! If he can't, then forget it!"

A two-hundred-year-old ginseng is something you can only find by chance; you can't just conjure it up out of thin air if you can't find it!

"Since you have this mindset, I won't say anything more! Actually, Xiaojun came to me just now and begged me to come to his house with him to wait for you!"
"After the incident where I made you play the bad cop, the Ye family also realized that you and the Wang family are not getting along!" Jinlong muttered a few more words as he drove.

Yue Feng nodded: "I can see that! But there's nothing I can do about it."

If Ye Jianjun or Ye Xiaojun asks me to make a phone call for them, I will at most make the first call in person. If the call doesn't go through, I'll give them an explanation and that's it. I will absolutely not call the other two numbers!

Who told you to come along and speak up for them!

There's absolutely no grudge between us brothers. You've already spoken, how could I possibly refuse you?

Jinlong was deeply moved upon hearing Yue Feng's words.

Jinlong sighed, "Sigh, don't say anything more! I'll remember this favor, otherwise I won't go back tonight. I'll go to your place and repay your great kindness with my body. You know, once I get married, I won't be as free as I am now!"

Yue Feng instantly broke out in a cold sweat: "Get lost!"

"Hahaha!"

……

After dropping Yue Feng off at his doorstep, Jinlong didn't get out of the car. He simply said goodbye and went back inside. Yue Feng watched Jinlong drive away before leisurely opening the door and entering the north room.

As soon as Yue Feng entered the courtyard, a light came on in the side room, and Li Guangkun, wearing a padded jacket, peeked out from inside.

"Xiaofeng, did you eat enough for dinner? I asked your sister-in-law to leave some rice for you in the pot. If you haven't eaten it, just heat it up for you and have a bite."

"I've eaten, Brother Li, you should go to bed early. I'm a bit tired after a whole day of running around!" Yue Feng replied.

"There's hot water in the thermos, why don't you soak your feet before you sleep? I'll prepare your breakfast tomorrow morning, and we can eat together!"

"it is good!"

……

After exchanging a few words, Yue Feng went into the north room.

The stove inside was burning warmly, clearly indicating that Li Guangkun and his wife had been managing it without sealing it off.

Yue Feng took off his thick cotton-padded coat and sat down in a chair. He picked up the cooled tea and took a sip. Then he poured water for washing his feet and began to ponder the news he had heard from Jinlong and Ye Xiaojun while soaking his feet to relieve fatigue.

On the way back, Jinlong's words had basically filled in the key information, and the whole matter was actually quite simple. This old ginseng was the key to prolonging life and buying time, but whether or not it was found, it had nothing to do with Yue Feng.

After mentally reviewing the entire situation, Yue Feng made plans for tomorrow.

The Wang family is his true backer; other friends are merely icing on the cake.

Tomorrow morning, before the others arrive, Yue Feng needs to call Wang Hu to discuss this matter. In addition, he also needs to listen to Grandpa Wu's true thoughts in private.

At Wu Keji's level, he would be very cautious about helping outsiders. Even if he did, he wouldn't readily agree just because Yue Feng asked. He would definitely use his own channels to gather information and understand the gist of the matter.

Two-hundred-year-old ginseng is never hard to sell, but if it is given to the wrong person, there is a risk of being caught in the crossfire. Wu Keji must have thought of this.

In fact, when Yue Feng finished washing his feet, went back to his room, and got into bed to rest, Wu Keji, who had just received the call, immediately started using his connections to get things done.

This inquiry led to a great deal of activity. Several ginseng bosses who were acquainted with Wu Keji had contacted them through various channels, all with the aim of inquiring about the old wild ginseng.

There are no secrets under the sky. By piecing together the information Wu Keji obtained from different friends, the outline of the matter became clear.

……

That night, Yue Feng didn't sleep well. The kang (heated brick bed) was quite warm, but he kept having dreams filled with snow-capped mountains and dark, ancient forests...

The next morning, as soon as the rooster next door crowed, Yue Feng opened his eyes on time.

After getting dressed, washing up, and then eating in the small dining area near the kitchen.

Li Guangkun's wife bought tofu pudding and freshly fried dough sticks from outside.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yue Feng sat down to eat, and while eating, he inquired about Li Guangkun's recent situation at the club's residence.

Overall, the club's location has gotten on track after this period of development. Li Guangkun has taken over some of the work that Grandpa Liu originally did, such as managing the cages and daily flying training. With one more person, the main falcon trainers have a space to take turns resting.

From Li Guangkun's words, it's clear that he highly values ​​his current job and is very comfortable with it. Not everyone can turn their hobby into a career, let alone with a decent salary from the club.

After breakfast, Li Guangkun rode his bicycle to work at the club, while Yue Feng, with some spare change in his pocket, strolled over to the supply and marketing cooperative across the street from the alley.

Yue Feng used the supply and marketing cooperative's phone to call Wang Hu first.

Wang Hu was probably still half asleep; he seemed a bit drowsy when he answered the phone.

"Hello? Who are you looking for?"

"Brother Tiger, this is Xiao Feng. There's something I wanted to ask you if you know about..." Yue Feng briefly explained the whole story over the phone yesterday.

"This matter? If you have the ability, you can help. If you can't, it won't have much of an impact and it's not directly related to us!" Wang Hu said calmly after listening.

"Shouldn't we report this to the old man?"

"No need, we already got a pretty good result from the last shuffle! Even if the sky falls this time, it won't hit us! Where are you now, BJ?"

"Yeah, they just arrived yesterday, a breeding eagle imported from the Americans! Are you going back to Beijing in the next few days? I'll come visit you when I have time!"

"I can't go back; I have work to do at the office and can't leave!"

"Okay, we'll talk about it next time!"

……

After hanging up the call, Yue Feng felt much more relaxed. Wang Hu's words were like a reassurance to Yue Feng. This possible turmoil would not affect the Wang family, much less Yue Feng.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Yue Feng dialed Wu Keji's number again.

This time, it only took less than ten seconds before Wu Keji's voice came through the phone.

"You've finally come to your senses, kid, at least you knew to call me this morning!" Wu Keji said with considerable reassurance as he answered the phone.

"Uh, sir, you've been waiting for me by the phone all this time?" Yue Feng said, a little embarrassed, after realizing what had happened.

"I didn't wait long, I just got here after finishing breakfast! After hanging up the phone last night, I got a general idea of ​​the situation through my friends! I have several friends who have received requests from various channels to help find old ginseng! It's said to be for a big shot to save his life!" Wu Keji got straight to the point.

"Yes, that's right! I've also contacted the Wang family. Tiger's answer to me was that he would help if he could, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't!"
Actually, I shouldn't have called you so late last night, but Jin Shao and Ye Xiaojun were waiting for me at home, so I gave them face! I was worried about this all night and couldn't sleep well, so I called you first thing this morning!" Yue Feng quickly explained.

After listening, Wu Keji said calmly, "You learned your lesson last time, so you're a little more cautious this time. That's good!"

I don't plan to get involved in the matter of the old ginseng. When we have a formal phone call at noon, I will say that the news has already been spread and there has been no response yet!

"Just move on from here! This matter is very complicated. I cast a divination, and the result wasn't good!"

Upon hearing Wu Keji's words, Yue Feng's heart stirred slightly.

The old man said he wasn't going to get involved, not that he was powerless. There's a fundamental difference between that and that. Could it be that the old man really has access to a ginseng that's old enough to last a long time?

"Grandpa, you wouldn't..." Yue Feng stopped mid-sentence.

"What are you thinking about! I'm an old man who wants to live a few more peaceful years. Did you understand what I said at the end?" Wu Keji raised his voice slightly and asked Yue Feng another question.

"I understand. I've tried my best to inquire, but there's no news yet!"

"That's right, just let it go on the surface! Our small family can't bear such a heavy burden of karma!"

"Uncle, I'll remember that! When are you going back to the mountain? I'll probably be in Beijing for three or four days. I'll come find you for a drink when I get back!"

"My time is about the same, let's talk about it when you get back!"

"Okay! That's all for now, I'll call you again at noon!"

"That's it!"

……

After hanging up the call, Yue Feng breathed a sigh of relief. The explanation was clear for the time being, and there was no need to worry about the rest.

The important thing today is to complete the formalities for a large sum of money to be transferred with the Americans; they'll be flying back tonight.

Yue Feng paid for the phone call, bought two jin of melon seeds, and strolled back home.

We arranged it yesterday; Feng Huanping would be here around 8 o'clock. It should be soon. (End of Chapter)
