Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

It is certain that there is a lack of medical care and medicine in the mountains.

The Oroqen people have their own unique skills in identifying medicinal herbs.

Yingzi's request for medicine must mean that someone is sick or injured and cannot cure themselves with herbal remedies.

"Is that Grandpa?" Jiang Sen asked anxiously. "Okay, no problem. Tell me what medicine you need, and I'll go to the farm headquarters as soon as I get back!"

Yingzi was somewhat moved and said, "My grandfather went hunting a few days ago and was gored by a wild boar. His wounds have healed, but he has been coughing ever since, and now he can only lie at home."

"Is it that serious?" Jiang Sen became even more anxious. "Listen to me, take good care of Grandpa. I'll take people back immediately and go to the farm headquarters to buy medicine. I'll probably need..." He calculated the time, "...about half a month. You must make sure Grandpa holds on."

Yingzi's eyes reddened, and she nodded.

She is now helpless; some people in her tribe covet her and want to marry her.

But because the old man was watching, Yingzi stopped him several times by pointing a gun at him.

If her grandfather can't be cured, she'll be all alone and probably won't have any way to fight back.

Unless Grandpa's illness can be cured, or she leaves.

But where did she go?

In fact, she wasn't telling the truth.

The old man was very ill.

The wild boar's sharp tusks almost pierced its entire belly.

External injuries heal quickly, but there's nothing that can be done about internal injuries.

Otherwise, Yingzi wouldn't have told Jiang Sen so much.

Intuitively, she felt that Jiang Sen was trustworthy, even though they hadn't known each other for long.

But there is always hope.

"Okay!" She swallowed back her tears. "I'll take good care of him when I get back. I'll be here waiting for you in half a month."

"Okay!" Jiang Sen raised his hand, wanting to pull her into his arms, but after raising it, he realized he had been a bit rash. He said earnestly, "Trust me, I will definitely come back!"

Yingzi nodded again, gave Jiang Sen a deep look, and then turned and disappeared into the jungle.

Jiang Sen felt as if something was blocking his chest, and his nose felt sore.

He decisively turned and left without lingering, leading his men directly back to the camp.

He explained the situation to the old cripple and then immediately returned.

The old cripple said that although the team's barefoot doctor looked slovenly, he was highly skilled. If he couldn't cure the patient, the farm's doctor would be in trouble too.

If an elderly person's illness is truly severe, the best course of action is to leave the mountain and go to the state farm hospital.

Jiang Sen was extremely anxious and rushed to the team headquarters overnight, digging the barefoot doctor out of his bed.

After listening to Jiang Sen's description, the barefoot doctor said, "What can I do for you? Just take him to the state farm hospital!"

"Aren't you afraid it will be too late? Please!" Jiang Sen was so anxious that he almost knelt down before him. "It will be too late if we are any later."

The barefoot doctor slowly took two bottles of medicine from the medicine cabinet.

"Take these for emergencies. I only have two bottles here. If they don't work after you finish them, I won't be able to help you."

What effect will two bottles of anti-inflammatory drugs have?

Jiang Sen felt utterly powerless. Was he just going to watch the old man die like this?

Finally, he contacted Zhang Jianjun and asked him to call the farm doctor.

The opinions of the field doctor and the barefoot doctor were the same.

Anti-inflammatory drugs might work. The best approach is to give the medication first, then pick up the elderly person and take them to the Agricultural Reclamation Hospital.

Zhang Jianjun knew that the old man was the savior who had saved Jiang Sen's life.

"Here's what you'll do! Take the medicine first and try to persuade the old man to come down from the mountain to the hospital. I have a car ready here; as soon as he comes down, we'll drive straight there."

"Thank you, Captain! I'll head back right away!"

The forest farm also lacks medicine; there's nothing that can be done about it.

Many medications are available at state farm hospitals or large hospitals in big cities.

The forest farm can only treat minor illnesses and injuries.

Jiang Sen returned to the mountains without even taking a break.

When they arrived at the camp, Sui Zhongliang and the others had not returned yet; only the old cripple was there.

Fu Chunsheng asked, "Did you get the medicine?"

"I got it, but the doctor said it would be best to send it to the Agricultural Reclamation Hospital, because just taking medicine might not be very effective."

The old cripple said, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and deliver the medicine, and while you're at it, pick him up and take him to the hospital!"

"I'll go right away..." Jiang Sen's vision went black and he almost fell over, but Fu Chunsheng caught him.

"Have you not slept for two days?" he asked. "You can't go on like this!"

The old cripple frowned and said, "It won't make a difference if we go in and sleep first. We'll go in when we wake up!"

Jiang Sen wanted to refuse, but his head was spinning, so he had no choice but to obey.

He slept from the afternoon until noon the next day.

As soon as they got up, they were eager to go into the mountains, but the old cripple stopped them again.

"Let's eat first, and then I'll go with you!"

"I am coming too!"

"Let's go too!"

Jiang Sen was deeply moved and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, let's eat first!"

After eating, Jiang Sen, along with Fu Chunsheng and the old cripple, tidied up and headed into the mountains.

By noon the next day, they had arrived at the edge of the pool.

Everyone was exhausted, including Jiang Sen.

He had agreed with Yingzi that he would be back in half a month, but he didn't expect to be back in less than a week.

“She didn’t come!” Jiang Sen said. “I remember the way, I’ll go by myself.”

The old cripple said, "It's not safe for you to go alone in these mountains. I'll go with you!"

Fu Chunsheng said, "Then what are we going to do here? Let's go together!"

The other three chimed in, "Yeah, let's go together. If anything happens, you'll have someone to help you."

The old cripple said, "It's not easy to get into an Oroqen village, so let's go with you!"

Jiang Sen agreed after only a brief moment's thought.

We should still listen to the old cripple; he's seen everything in the mountains.

If we really encounter any trouble, it's easier to handle things with more people.

So they took a short rest, ate a meal, and then set off.

Jiang Sen remembered the way and led the others through the woods until it got dark.

After finding the place where we rested last time, we stopped and prepared to spend the night there.

The old cripple walked around the area, then returned to indicate that it was safe. Only then did Jiang Sen and the others crawl into their sleeping bags and close their eyes.

He slept very restlessly, with bizarre dreams coming one after another, and he couldn't tell what they were.

In short, when he woke up in the morning, his whole body ached.

After getting up and having breakfast, we continued our journey.

Along the way, the old cripple also told them where there were traps set by Oroqen hunters.

There will be grass knots tied to the branches next to the trap as a marker. Next time you see such a marker, just walk around it.

Around 3 p.m., they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where Yingzi's family lived.

Jiang Sen was very excited and pointed to the mountain, saying to everyone, "See that? That leaning pillar is Yingzi's house!"

Everyone was very happy to be able to visit an Oroqen village in person.

Just as Jiang Sen was about to lift his leg to walk upstairs, the old cripple grabbed him.

"and many more!"

Jiang Sen turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"

"Something's wrong!"

"Where?" Jiang Sen looked up, but there was nothing wrong with it!

"You don't know, we've all walked to the edge of the village, and we haven't seen a single person?"

"They've all gone hunting, or they're all staying inside and no one's coming out!"

"Something's not right!" The old cripple's one eye gleamed. "Something seems to have happened."

"What?" Jiang Sen exclaimed anxiously. "Then let's go up and take a look right away!"

The old cripple brought up the rear, while Jiang Sen took the lead, running uphill along a side path.

When Jiang Sen arrived at Yingzi's house, he saw that the slanted door had fallen down and was hanging there at an angle, and his heart sank.
