Chapter Thirty-Seven: Worries and Sorrows

  Lin Feng tried hard to see who that figure was, but the smoke and flames were like a fog that obscured his eyes.

  Who is it? Who is it?

  "Phoenix Sister!"

  Lin Feng shouted loudly in the hope of getting a response.

  That figure was still struggling, as if he hadn't heard Lin Feng's shout.

  "Goodnight!"

  Lam Fung shouted again.

  That figure still did not respond with even a hint of movement.

  Yao Fengyun!

  Lin Feng shouted out the names of three women who had left a recent impression on him, and that figure was still struggling in the midst of gunfire and smoke.

  Lin Feng suddenly rushed towards the figure with a burst of smoke and fire, strongly wanting to know who it was!

  So hot!

  Like being enveloped in a scorching heat wave ignited by cannon fire, hot, as if being parched dry!

  Cold!

  After the fiery heat wave swept past, it was a bone-piercing chill, as if one had fallen into an ice cave naked in winter.

  Did you get hit?

  An old soldier once said that after being shot, a person's blood would instantly flow out in large quantities, and the person would feel cold. Lin Feng tried hard to lower his head to see if his body was really bleeding, but suddenly felt his neck was very stiff and couldn't do it.

  Fear spread rapidly in his heart, so lonely and helpless, desolate and sorrowful...

  No, I cannot die. Feng Jie is still waiting for me to rescue her at Chunfeng Building, Yao Fengyun is still quietly guarding the old house waiting for me to return and give her a name, and Father and Mother are waiting for me to fulfill my filial duties in front of them... and there's also... Wang Ban Zhang...

  Lian Linfeng didn't even know why he suddenly thought of Wang Ban Zhang at this time.

  Suddenly, a warm and humid sensation swept through his body, like the warmth of spring sun melting ice and snow. Lin Feng's mind and body felt extremely comfortable, and with that, the scene in front of him was like dense fog being blown away by the wind, gradually thinning out and disappearing. The small figure also became fainter and fainter, slowly disappearing from sight.

  Lin Feng never got a clear look at who that person was.

  Suddenly, I heard a conversation beside my ear.

  "How is the doctor's condition?"

  "Lungs are injured, five internal organs are out of balance, yin and yang are lost, still having a fever. This is not difficult to cure, the prescription I wrote last time, just follow it to grab the medicine, feed him two more doses and he will be fine, after that, good nursing will lead to recovery."

  "Is there anything else?"

  "Hmm, the hardest to cure is his gunshot wound on the shoulder. We must find a way to get the medicine for gunshot wounds in order to treat it properly. Looking at the current situation, his gunshot wound has already started to deteriorate. Director Lin, you should hurry up and think of a way to find the medicine! If we delay any further, it will be too late."

  "Didn't you say last time that the Japanese took away all the medicine for gunshot wounds? Where are we going to find it now? Doctor, think of a way again. If you can cure his internal injuries, there should be a way for this external wound too!"

  "No, no. If it were just the gunshot wound on his shoulder, as long as the wound is kept clean and carefully tended to, even without treatment, he would slowly recover. The problem lies in that he also suffered internal injuries to his lungs, with the five elements out of balance, yin and yang out of harmony, and a weak body with insufficient fire energy, which has led to external evils invading internally."

  Lang Zhong's words simply mean that the wound is infected, leading to complications, and Lin Feng's body is too weak, with low immunity, unable to resist.

  It was another nightmare! Waking up to the sound of conversation beside his ear, Lin Feng came to and knew he had another bad dream.

  But now that I'm sober, why is that warm and humid feeling still lingering on my body? It's warm and humid, soft and gentle, very comfortable!

  Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, and the familiar face before him was the first thing he saw.

  "Goodnight!"

  Lin Feng wanted to call out, but his voice was very weak.

  "Master, you're awake?" Yueshang said upon hearing Lin Feng's weak voice.

  Yuexiang held the towel that Lin Feng used to wipe his body, with her sleeves rolled up high, revealing a small section of white jade-like arm. When she saw Lin Feng wake up, a faint blush floated onto his face.

  Lin Feng saw the wet towel in Yuexiang's hand and suddenly felt that his body was smooth, he touched himself with his hand and found that he wasn't wearing any clothes.

  Xiao Yatou used to only serve Yao Fengyun. This was her first time encountering such an embarrassing thing, so it's no wonder she felt shy and awkward.

  "The housekeeper told me to help the young master with his bath, and the old master didn't trust anyone else, so he ordered me to attend to him." Yueshang explained.

  "Ah." Lin Feng was a thick-skinned guy who didn't know what shame was, and he asked nonchalantly, "How long did I sleep?"

  "Two days."

  Yuexiang was still shy and spoke briefly, pulling over the quilt to help Young Master cover his body while talking.

  "Feng'er, are you awake? How do you feel?"

  Lin Qingyuan was talking to Lang Zhong in the outer room when he heard a noise from the inner room and knew that his son had woken up, so he quickly walked in.

  The doctor also came in to check on the patient's condition.

  Lin Feng saw his father walking over with a deep frown on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He forced a smile and said, "Dad, don't worry, I can handle it."

  Damn it, I've been through the battlefield of gunpowder and fire, rolled over piles of corpses, but didn't lose my life. This little bit of pain is going to take my life? Unacceptable!

  Although Lin Feng's body was very weak, his will was not weak at all.

  Yueliang moved aside and made room for Lao Ye and Lang Zhong as they approached.

  Lin Qingyuan stepped aside after looking at his son and made way for Lang Zhong: "Feng'er, let Lang Zhong take a look at you again."

  Lin Feng obediently stretched out his arm and let Lang Zhong take his pulse.

  Wan Mai and Lang Zhong stood up and said: "The others are fine, go find the gunshot wound medicine as soon as possible!"

  Damn Japanese army! Lin Feng heard Lang Zhong say that they still need gunshot wounds medicine, but that thing is now monopolized by the Japanese, and he became even more resentful. How did these Japanese people come and mess up their lives? They are truly a plague on earth!

  After seeing off Lang Zhong, Lin Qingyuan checked on his son's condition again and then left, leaving only Yueliang to attend to him in the room.

  Lin Feng lay on the bed, his spirit slightly recovered, but his worries floated back to the surface, and he couldn't calm down or think clearly.

  The most frustrating thing is still this body, which can't get better, lying in bed all the time, and nothing can be done.

  There's also the matter of Feng Jie, this time Lin Feng came to the city not only to visit his father but also to redeem Feng Jie from Chunfeng Building.

  But Lam Fung did not expect that as soon as he entered the city, so many things happened, and several days had passed, but he still couldn't get things done.

  "Feng Jie's matter can't be delayed any longer, it must be handled quickly." Lin Feng thought to himself.

  But his body really couldn't get out of bed, thinking about it, he still had to find a reliable person to go to Chunfeng Building.

  Who will be sent?

  The question has gone back to the starting point of that day.

  Lin Feng furrowed his brow, completely at a loss.

  "Young master, would you like something to eat?" Yueliang asked as she approached the bed.

  After sleeping for two days, Lin Feng was reminded by Yue Xiang and indeed felt his stomach empty, so he said: "Eat."

  "Wait for a moment, I'll go to the kitchen and cook."

  Watching Moon Fragrance leave, Lin Feng couldn't think of anyone else he could use except for this little girl.

  It's not quite suitable for Ruan Xiang to handle this matter.

  Firstly, Yuet Heung is a young maid, it's not suitable for her to go to Chun Fung Lou, that kind of pleasure house.

  Secondly, Yue Xiang is a person beside Yao Fengyun, and in name, Yao Fengyun is Lin Feng's legitimate wife. It doesn't seem right for someone beside his legitimate wife to go rescue a woman whose relationship with him is unclear.

  However, at present, apart from this girl, Lin Feng can't find anyone else who can be used.

  When Fang Xiang brought over the clear congee, Lin Feng finally made up his mind.

  "Yuexiang, I want to ask you a favor."

  Lin Feng finished speaking and didn't open his mouth to receive the clear porridge that Yue Xiang was feeding him with a spoon, but instead looked into her eyes, observing the changes in her emotions.

  Hearing Young Master speak so politely, Yuexiang was slightly surprised and hastily responded: "What are your orders, Young Master?"

  Lin Feng opened his mouth, but still felt it wasn't good to mention this.

  Yuexiang saw the young master's strange appearance and her heart was racing. She roughly guessed that what he was going to instruct might not be easy to handle.

  Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng had no other choice and could only force himself to say: "Yuexiang, can you help me rescue someone?"

  "Save someone?" The young master wants to go save someone, this is something that Moon Fragrance did not expect, but she is just a weak woman, how can she possibly accomplish such a thing?

  "Right, help me go with just one person." Lin Feng saw the hesitant look on Yuexiang's face and added, "If you're not willing, it's okay, I'll think of another way."

  "No." Yuexiang hastily shook her head in denial, "But I'm just a weak woman, how can I save others? I fear I'll mess up Young Master's affairs."

  Lin Feng understood Yue Xiang's concerns and thought that although this matter was not as difficult as she had imagined, it was indeed not suitable to send a maid to do.

  "Alright, I'll think of another way then!"

  Lin Feng finished speaking, furrowed his brow, and racked his brains for a solution, but instead forgot about the matter of eating.

  Yuexiang saw the young master's uncomfortable expression while eating and felt a pang of distress in her heart.

  "Master, have you eaten?" Yuet Heung reminded him and poured the cooled porridge back into the bowl, then scooped a new spoonful of hot porridge to feed the young master.

  Lin Feng mechanically took over the thin porridge, didn't even chew it once, and directly swallowed it into his stomach, still frowning and lost in thought.

  Yuexiang felt even more distressed in her heart, and she scooped another spoonful of clear porridge from the bowl to feed Young Master. At the same time, she asked: "Young Master, who is it that you want to save?"

  A friend.

  Lam Fung also didn't know how to define his relationship with Feng Jie, so he simply said they were friends.

  "What's wrong with him?" Yueliang asked while feeding porridge into Young Master's mouth.

  Lin Feng swallowed what was in his mouth and said: "She was sold into a brothel, I promised her that I would redeem her."

  "Women?" Yuexiang's hand froze in mid-air, her face turning extremely unnatural.

  "Yes, it's a girl," Lin Feng said. Only after he finished speaking did he see the rigid expression on Yuexiang's face, and immediately knew that he hadn't made himself clear. "Yuexiang, don't think too much about it, I have nothing to do with her, just..."

  Lin Feng suddenly felt that this matter couldn't be explained clearly.

  How to explain?

  Saying that I have only met Feng Jie twice and am very innocent, with no other relationship at all?

  Who believes it?

  You have nothing to do with others, yet you're so anxious to stir up trouble. Besides, Lin Dashi's reputation is well-known; who doesn't know that you, Lin Feng, are a prodigal son?
