Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger - Chapter 867 - 811: A Huge Ransom for Rescue
Razer listened, but didn't say much. He nodded somewhat disappointedly and said, "Then forget it, I'll have Roger make a call to the town to let the rescue team think of a plan."
Just as the two decided, the injured person let out a painful groan, then a series of murmurs escaped his mouth...
"Wolves, there are wolves, run, Mina, run..."
Lilith finished the last stitch on his calf, stood up and looked at the flushed face of the injured person. She swiftly took out some antibiotics and completed the injection, then looked at his twisted calf and asked Mountain Eagle, "Boss, should I temporarily set his bone here, or wait until tomorrow to send him to the hospital?
This guy, although he survived, is not in a good condition.
His lungs show signs of infection; his ears are severely frostbitten; and the fracture in his calf is very serious. If we just wait, who knows what will happen."
Mountain Eagle leaned over for a look. The guy's calf was fractured, with the broken bone in the lower part pushing up the side of the calf, forming a lump, the injury turning a purplish-red color. In this weather, if delayed, amputation might be necessary.
After pondering for a moment, Mountain Eagle decisively said, "Treat him temporarily..."
Lilith acted very 'professionally'. She first took out an inflatable splint to place under the injured person's calf, then called the people in the room to come forward to hold down the person's body and legs...
Mountain Eagle was responsible for holding down the person's knee and upper calf, then saw Lilith give the calf a firm pull, and then rub her thumbs over the shin bone of the calf...
After confirming the bone was set, she first used two splints to fix the broken leg, then forcefully inflated the splint to wrap around the injured calf.
"Ah..."
When Lilith set the injured person's bone, the guy, who was having nightmares, let out a horrible scream. Luckily, there were five people helping to hold him down, otherwise the broken leg might not have been set.
Mountain Eagle watched the guy, who looked like an awakening zombie, struggle with fear in his eyes towards his calf, letting out a pig-killing scream...
He smiled at Lilith and said, "Looking at your skills, they're not that great. Your father Eagle Claw practiced traditional Chinese medicine, and I never saw a bone-setting make someone scream this much."
Lilith frowned, putting her hands inside the inflatable splint, feeling around the calf, then did something unknown to make the guy, who was struggling moments ago, lie on the bed like a deflated balloon, breathing weakly...
Lilith saw Mountain Eagle giving her a strange look, and while fixing the injured's calf, she awkwardly said, "I haven't dealt with fractures in this kind of unaided environment for a while. His leg seems to have been broken in a fall, the bone fracture is quite irregular."
With that, Lilith straightened up, looking at Mountain Eagle's scrutinizing expression, she hung a bag of medicine on the dazed-looking injured person, and said unhappily, "There's nothing wrong with my skills, it's just this guy is unlucky.
'Eagle Claw' said years ago that my bone-setting skills surpassed his, next time I can show you."
Mountain Eagle quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, let's not talk about such ominous things."
With that, Mountain Eagle released his hand, stood up and said to Razer, "If there's nothing else here, we'll head back.
Today is my first visit, I prepared gifts for everyone, but it's a bit late today. I'd like to spend time with my family, and tomorrow I'll visit you at your home."
Razer glanced at the weak-looking injured person and nodded slightly, saying, "No need to be so formal, my place is small. Tomorrow I'll bring my family over to visit you at your place.
My wife has always wanted to learn how Mrs. Li makes all kinds of dishes with rice, but she felt embarrassed before, worrying about wasting food.
I guess you brought a lot of food when you came, no need for gifts, just share a bit of the food from East with us."
After saying that, Razer walked to the door and opened it, said, "I'll handle this guy's situation, tomorrow I'll notify State Police and the rescue team, and have this guy taken away."
The moment the door opened, cold air rushed into the room, and the dazed injured person shivered, then suddenly shouted loudly, "Don't call the police, I'll give you money, a lot of money...
As long as you help me rescue my family, I'll give you a lot of money!"
As he said this, the man's eyes gradually focused. He looked at Razer, who seemed to be in charge, and shouted loudly, "400,000, no, 500,000, 600,000, 1 million...
Don't call the police, give me a phone to contact my private doctor, he'll arrange the hospital for me.
Help me rescue my family, 1 million US Dollars, I'll give you 1 million US Dollars!"
Mountain Eagle saw the eyes of Razer's two sons and son-in-law light up. He thought for a moment and, while walking out, shook his head and said, "This guy must be in big trouble, but how to handle it, you figure it out yourselves.
1 million, hey, 1 million...
How many people in the United States never see a million in their lifetime!"
What Mountain Eagle meant was that this man might be unreliable, but clearly, even though Razer could stay calm in the face of that price, his two sons and son-in-law were already getting excited.
Mountain Eagle wasn't familiar with them, so he couldn't sway their judgment, and therefore, he simply took Lilith back to the cabin...
At this time, most people in the cabin had already finished washing. The washing machines and dryers in the laundry room were humming simultaneously. The slightly cool air indicated that ventilation had been done here earlier, eliminating the human metabolic odors that previously permeated the house, replaced by the pungent smell of hotpot... šš«šš²šššš§š ššš„.ššš
The luggage brought by Mountain Eagle was sent to a room on the first floor, and several boxes filled with food and gifts were opened on the floor at the entrance. Little Ava, sucking her finger, tugged at Yue Yi's clothes, asking him to help open a packet of spicy strips...
Luna was clean and tidy, with a butterfly hair clip pinned on her explosion of curls...
Seeing Mountain Eagle coming in, the little girl stuffed the chocolate beans into her pocket, then wiped the chocolate from the corner of her mouth. Amid Xiao Wan's expression of bulging veins, she wiped the remains on Yue Yi's clothes.
Mountain Eagle glanced at his son, who seemed unfazed, and with a laugh, smacked Luna's butt before grasping her neck and lifting her onto a chair to sit...
Seeing Xiao Wan teaching others how to adjust their favorite hotpot sauces, Mountain Eagle went over to make servings of sesame sauce for himself and several kids...
As Luna picked up a fork to taste some sesame sauce, Xiao Wan, as if poked by a needle, darted over and knocked the fork out of her hand, then angrily said to Mountain Eagle: "Check the ingredient list before giving children food...
These kids have severe allergy symptoms. They can't touch peanuts at all."
Saying this, Xiao Wan glared at Luna, who was baring her teeth at her, and said, "Sit with me; only stinky boys just like eating meat. Girls need to eat something spicy."
Mountain Eagle glanced at the hotpot specially prepared for himself, just a copper pot with boiling water, some green onions, goji berries, and ginger added...
This broth requires cooking lamb rounds first before adding vegetables.
Eating this thing, sesame sauce is the soul, but the mixed sesame sauce added peanut butter.
Easterners' systems indeed have a little less 'reverence' for allergies; like many people touch the mucus on mountain skins and get itchy, no one will say they are allergic. They'll just wash the itchy spot with cold water then ponder how to make mountain yams taste better.
But Zack and Luna, these kids, are different; allergies could kill them!
From this, it's clear that Xiao Wan obviously takes better care of the kids than Mountain Eagle!
Seeing Luna looking a bit reluctant, Mountain Eagle leaned down to kiss the little girl's head, then watched as she was led away by Xiao Wan...
In the end, this unloved clear broth was only enjoyed by Mountain Eagle with his son...
The crowd hadn't waited long when Lilith came out of the shower and into the dining room. When everyone was gathered, Mountain Eagle stood up under everyone's watch...
Under the ladies' peculiar gazes, he brewed his words for a few seconds, then raised his beer and said, "Alaska's winter is tough, but with the right people, nothing is a problem!
The old man Razer told me, Alaska is a place to forget material desires and greed, to embrace your soul. The winter here will bring peace to everyone living here.
Although the purpose of coming here isn't to seek supposed peace, I think if possible, we should forget all worries and sincerely embrace each day here.
In the icy snow illuminated by the aurora, pondering life's meaning might indeed add wisdom!"
Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, and with some guilt, extended his beer to the center of the table and said, "To all those I love and those who love me..."
At the other end of the table, Xiao Wan's gaze swept past Tessa. She sighed slightly, proactively raised her wine glass, and said, "Let's do our part and leave the rest to time...
Cheers!"
"Cheers..."
Yue Yi didn't sense the awkward atmosphere at all. Holding a glass of juice, he shouted 'Cheers' loudly, took a hearty sip, and scooped a large plate of lamb into the hotpot, then grabbed chopsticks and stared at the lamb changing color quickly in the boiling water...
Mountain Eagle watched his son, rough in manner but cheerful beyond measure, and laughed happily, shouting, "You all don't know what's good, this is the correct way to eat boiled lamb..."
Saying this, he picked a piece of lamb, dipped it into the sesame sauce mixed with chopped green onions and sesame oil, stirred, and stuffed it into his mouth, letting out a sigh of enjoyment...
"This is living..."
Yue Yi's face was covered in sesame sauce. While urging his dad to put in another plate of meat, he smacked his lips and said, "Dad, tomorrow let's check the animal traps, Razer said he found wolf and musk ox footprints on the mountain.
Mom and the others haven't had fresh beef in a while, and I want to eat your beef tripe stew...
Tessa said she wants a wolf skin. She said Thailand doesn't have wolves..."
Mountain Eagle's gaze swept over Xiao Wan and Tessa, then feigned calmness and said, "No problem, tomorrow we'll call Zack along, and get both the musk ox and the wolf...
Make beef, eat beef stew, peel wolf skin, we won't miss a thing!"
