Chapter Twenty-Four: Entrusting Mo Hao

  At this time, Liu Daifu took three large medicinal leaves and walked to Lin Feng's side, asking: "Little Feng, is your wound very painful? This is a pain-relieving anesthetic herb, but the efficacy is different. We all call it 'Yao Cao', but why it's called 'Yao Cao' is unknown!" As he spoke, he handed one of the large leaves to Lin Feng.

  Lin Feng took a look and was stunned, isn't this a big tobacco leaf? The whole piece of tobacco leaf that wraps the cigar. He had almost run out of cigarettes to smoke and thought he would have to start smoking dry grass later. Lin Feng suddenly became excited: "This, this, is there more?"

  "What? There are many of these things. Do you want to apply this?" Dr. Liu was a bit confused by Lin Feng. Old Man Li also came over and said: "This 'demon grass' is abundant, but it's actually good for relieving pain!"

  "Really? I want this, oh no, not for applying, I want this 'witch grass', I want it to be useful! As for the medicine, Doctor Liu, you handle it yourself, I'm fine either way!" Lin Feng couldn't wait to finish bandaging so he could study his new herb.

  "Alright, I'll change the dressing for you," said Dr. Liu, nodding his head. "Old Li, would you mind getting some clean cloth? We'll need it to wrap the wound after applying the medicine." With that, Old Man Li went out to find some cloth, while Dr. Liu started preparing the medicine.

  It took more than an hour to finish, and before leaving, Dr. Liu instructed to change the dressing once a day, come to change Lin Feng's dressing every morning before eating, and then carry a small wooden box to eat breakfast.

  Lin Feng was left alone in the room, Lin Feng half-reclined on the bed and moved his right leg, feeling that it didn't hurt much anymore, but he still couldn't exert any strength. After trying several times, he finally sighed and gave up.

  At this time, Xiaojian came in with a bowl of rice, but it seemed that the girl didn't sleep well last night, her eyes were still a bit swollen, but maybe it was because she cried last night.

  Xiao Yan handed a bowl of porridge to Lin Feng and asked, "Feng Ge, I heard that Dr. Liu changed your medicine earlier, how are you feeling now?"

  Lin Feng took a sip of the porridge and said with satisfaction, "It's quite fragrant! My injury is nothing serious now. It's just that I shouldn't overexert myself for a while. Looks like you'll have to help me find some longer wooden sticks to make crutches later! I'm half-crippled now, ah!" After saying this, Lin Feng shook his head in dismay.

  Xiao Yan looked at Lin Feng and smiled, "Alright, you go eat first, I'll go find a set of clothes for you to change into. And I'll also get this half-cripple a crutch!" After saying that, she laughed and ran out.

  Wow! This girl has learned to joke around! Then, in a flash, she finished off a bowl of porridge and lit up a cigarette with the cigarette box. A smoke after meals is better than being an immortal! Anyway, now that I've found tobacco, I won't have to be too frugal from now on. Besides, being frugal isn't the way to go - creating is the key! After finishing the cigarette, I felt a bit sleepy. I didn't sleep much last night, so I ended up falling asleep again.

  At noon, Lin Feng was woken up by Xiao Yan. As a result, he saw a small wooden table beside the bed, with a wild chicken on it, as well as a plate of wild vegetables and a small bowl of mantou. Xiao Yan told Lin Feng that her father had specially brought them back for him to eat and nourish his body.

  Lin Feng sat up, holding his chopsticks and looking at Xiao Yun, pointing to the stone beside the table: "Come on, come on, sit down and eat together. I can't finish so much by myself, it's a waste to throw away what's left! Come and eat with me!"

  "No, we've already eaten. It's already past noon. This was specially made for you, so you eat it!" Xiaoyan shook her head and sat down on the other side of the bed, then looked at Lin Feng and asked: "Feng Ge, that tiger skin, my dad took it down this morning, but he said it was yours to deal with since you were the one who hit it. What do you plan to do with it?"

  Lin Feng was eating a chicken leg, and upon hearing this, he swallowed the meat in his mouth and replied: "That tiger is at least three meters long, so big a piece of tiger skin, you can make two small cloaks out of it, white ones, you'll definitely look good wearing them, and making two means you can alternate between them! It's settled then, as for how to do it I won't be able to help you!" After finishing speaking, Lin Feng continued eating his chicken leg.

  Xiao Yan looked at Lin Feng and said with a gulp: "But, but that was something you risked your life for... how can I just give it to me as a cloak?"

  Lin Feng turned his head to look at her, still tearing at the chicken meat in his mouth. After he swallowed it with great effort, he said: "What do you mean by 'I used my life to exchange for'? Isn't this life of mine still mine? It's still here, isn't it? Besides, that good tiger skin would make a fine cloak, and you'd definitely look good wearing it. Otherwise, it would be a waste. That's how it is, I've said what I want, and you should just do as I say. Now that the weather has cooled down at night, with that cloak, you won't have to shiver like you did last night. Just make it quickly and wear it for me to see! By the way, has Little Hua returned?"

  "Uh, I'm back! I bought a lot of things and brought back a lot of wine too! He said you told him to buy more!" Xiao Yan replied with red eyes, seemingly moved by Lin Feng's previous words.

  Lin Feng licked the oil on his hand and said to Xiao Yan: "Alright, you go call Little Huang for me and ask him to bring over two jars of wine to drink with me. Just say I need to discuss something with him. Also, remember to finish making your tiger skin cloak as soon as possible and show it to me, okay? Go!"

  Xiao Yan nodded and stood up: "Mm, I know, Maple Brother!" After that, she left.

  In just a few minutes, a robust figure came in, holding a large wine jar with two bowls on top. Mao Hao put the jar directly on the table and asked, "Big brother, do you have something to ask me?"

  Lin Feng nodded and pointed at the bowl on the wine jar: "Come on, pour some wine first, let's drink while we talk!"

  Xiao Huan poured wine into two bowls and picked them up, saying: "Big brother, Dr. Liu said you're injured and can't drink too much."

  "Never mind him, let's drink and have a good time! Come on, bottoms up!" After finishing his drink, he let out a long sigh and laughed, "Haha, wine is still the best! Eat, I've only had one leg of this wild chicken so far!" He then tore off another leg and handed it to Xiao Huan.

  Two people chatted while eating, after drinking six or seven bowls, they felt a bit full. Lin Feng wiped his hands and said to Xiao Hua: "Xiao Hua, actually I invited you here today because there's something I want to discuss with you!"

  Xiao Huan stopped what he was doing and looked at Lin Feng, asking: "What's up?"

  Lin Feng lit a cigarette and said, "It's like this, in front of the cave where we store food, there is a large open space. You used to be a soldier and are also General Mao's descendant, so you must understand military training. I want you to take charge of training our brothers on this mountain. Don't look at them one by one, actually not many of them can fight."

  Lin Feng hadn't finished speaking when Xiao Hua interrupted him: "Big brother, I understand, you can rest assured, as long as they are willing to follow me and learn from me, I don't have any problems! However, there is one precondition, everyone must listen to my commands and instructions, this is something that a regular army must abide by!"

  "Alright! With your word, I'm at ease. Tonight when we celebrate, I'll bring this up. As for following orders, that's a must, you can count on me for that! So it's settled then? Come, let's keep drinking!"
