Seeing that Brother Three had awakened, Fatty was overjoyed, while Li Nan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and silently thought, "Fortunately, it worked!"
In fact, Li Nan was also apprehensive about the blood transfusion. After all, such things were never mentioned in the teaching materials! However, Brother Three was lucky; his poisoning symptoms had significantly lessened!
Brother Three's eyelids fluttered, and he murmured, "Could it be that I am already dead?"
Li Nan smiled wryly, "Brother Three, you are not dead yet. Otherwise, wouldn't we all be your burial companions?"
Brother Three lightly coughed, a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. Then he looked at the crowd squeezed into Small Buildings and said, "Since I'm not dead yet, what are all these people doing here?"
Fatty waved his hands in the crowd, "Everyone get out of here; don't let Brother Three get annoyed!"
Approaching Second Brother, Fatty slightly bowed and said, "Thank you, Second Brother!"
Seeing that Third Brother had awakened, Second Brother wanted to come over and exchange a few pleasantries but was blocked by Li Nan. "Brother Three has just started to recover; he can't see anyone for now. Please don't take offense, Second Brother!"
Second Brother raised an eyebrow, confirming that he saw Third Brother awake. He joked and turned to leave.
The three corpses on the ground had already been carried away by others!
Brother Three was still lying on the dining table in Li Nan's Small Buildings, which felt somewhat inappropriate. Fatty had already brought in a simple stretcher to carry Brother Three away!
Li Nan waved his hand and said, "Although Brother Three's body has recovered somewhat, it's still not suitable for jolting around. Let him stay here with me!" He then turned to Brother Three and said, "I'm a doctor; staying here will make it easier for me to take care of you!"
Brother Three nodded and was carried upstairs by two men. Li Nan then shouted, "Mo Xiaohui, go take care of Brother Three!"
Mo Xiaohui went upstairs, while Li Nan whispered to Fatty as Brother Three was carried upstairs, "Although Brother Three has regained consciousness, his condition is still not good. He can only last for another two or three days at most!"
Fatty exclaimed in shock, "What! The poison blood has already been expelled, right? Shouldn't Brother Three be recovering immediately?"
Li Nan frowned, "Blood transfusion is just a temporary measure; it doesn't address the root cause of the illness. Moreover, the Snake Venom has already invaded Brother Three's Viscera. Without Antivenom, there's still no hope!"
Fatty was filled with anger, "How could this be? How could this happen?"
Li Nan patted Fatty on the shoulder, "Life is unpredictable. There's nothing we can do; we've done our best!"
Fatty shook his head, "We haven't fully exhausted our options yet. Didn't you say that with the Snake Venom Antidote, Brother Three could be completely cured? I can go find that. Where would we find the Snake Venom Antidote?"
Li Nan smiled bitterly, "That's too reckless, and that place may not even have the Rattlesnake's Snake Venom Antidote!"
Fatty caught the implication in Li Nan's words and immediately asked, "You're a doctor; you must know where in Jiangbei City we can find such a thing. Tell me quickly, and I'll go look for it!"
After pondering for a moment, Li Nan replied word by word, "There is a place that might really have the Snake Venom Antidote. However, you don't need to be overly anxious; Brother Three has enough time for us to consider our options carefully."
Seeing that Li Nan still had some confidence, Fatty felt slightly reassured. "I'll listen to you now; whatever you say to do, I'll do it!"
Li Nan's expression turned serious. "First, tell the people outside that Brother Three is basically recovered. Stabilizing their minds is the most important thing right now!"
The situation in the camp was uncertain. It seemed that the three brothers had mutual restraint over each other. If Brother Three's influence faltered, it was hard to predict what chaos might ensue below. Therefore, it was best to keep everyone calm for now. Although Second Brother had killed and donated blood earlier, the intentions of the other party were difficult for outsiders to discern. Thus, it was better to guard against potential trouble from both the eldest brother and Second Brother!
At this moment, it was not without its dangers, so Li Nan had to take a careful look around!
Fatty said, "I know about this!"
Immediately after, Fatty went upstairs to see Brother Three, while Mo Xiaohui came down from the floor and stopped Fatty, saying, "Brother Three wants to see Li Nan now, please wait a moment!"
Fatty was skeptical, but upon turning around and seeing Li Nan, he nodded and said, "Brother Three trusts Brother Nan, so I have nothing more to say!"
Li Nan went upstairs, patted Fatty on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I'm here!"
Fatty nodded and watched Li Nan go upstairs.
Inside the room on the second floor was a spacious area where Brother Three had already been brought in.
Li Nan first knocked on the door before pushing it open.
Brother Three was half-reclining on the bed, a forced smile on his lips as he said to Li Nan, "Come in... sit..."
Li Nan complied and sat down beside Brother Three's bed.
Brother Three coughed lightly and slowly said, "I really underestimated you. I didn't expect that a man with iron fists could also handle a scalpel!"
Li Nan smiled and replied, "I studied medicine; this skill is naturally my specialty!"
"Ha ha... cough cough..." Brother Three cleared his throat, trying to laugh but ended up coughing lightly.
Li Nan immediately placed a hand on Brother Three's throat and said, "Brother Three, you shouldn't talk too much right now. Although your body has recovered somewhat, you haven't fully healed yet!"
Brother Three forced a smile and replied, "You don't need to deceive me. I've said it before; I know my own situation very well!"
Li Nan shook his head and said, "As long as I'm here, Brother Three, you will definitely recover!"
Brother Three lifted his eyelids and stared at Li Nan seriously, which made Li Nan feel uneasy.
For about a minute, Brother Three kept his gaze fixed on Li Nan.
Li Nan was slightly surprised, "Brother Three..."
Brother Three chuckled heartily, "The more I look at you, the more I see the essence of my younger self. But I'm not a doctor; I'm a soldier, a soldier of iron and blood. However, after being reinstated, I ended up in Jiangbei Prison because I accidentally killed someone!"
Recalling the past made Brother Three sigh, while Li Nan encouraged him, "Even great heroes have their fallen moments, but Brother Three's demeanor is still that of an iron-blooded soldier!"
Brother Three laughed loudly, though his throat felt tight. "Talking is quite strenuous for me now, so I won't ramble on. I know my time is limited, so there are some things I need to entrust to you!"
Li Nan smiled wryly and said, "Alright! Brother Three, you're not planning to pull a Baidi City farewell scene on me, are you?"
Brother Three straightened his face. "Be serious; I'm discussing important matters with you!"
Li Nan straightened his back and faced Brother Three directly.
"I want to entrust my brothers to you. The big boss and Second Brother in the camp have been at odds for a long time. It was only because I was here that it didn't escalate into an open conflict. If I leave, trouble will surely arise in the camp. You must take control of the situation; you cannot let the rivalry between two strong men ruin this camp that has been so hard to establish!"
Li Nan nodded, "Brother Three, don't worry. Although I'm not a good person, I'm definitely not a bad one. I won't let this camp face disaster!"
Brother Three continued, "With you here, I feel at ease. Lean in closer; there's one more thing I need to tell you!"
Li Nan felt a bit surprised, but since Brother Three had already explained everything, he had no reason not to lean in.
Brother Three whispered something in Li Nan's ear and then asked, "Did you remember that?"
Li Nan felt it was somewhat unbelievable, but he still nodded and said, "I remember!"
Brother Three smiled, "Damn it, although it’s a bit frustrating to die like this, at least someone is taking up my banner. It's not too unfair after all!"
Li Nan took it as Brother Three settling his affairs. Although Brother Three had made up his mind to leave, there might still be a chance for change!
Li Nan quietly said, "Actually, I know of another way to save Brother Three's life. Although the chances are slim, there is still some hope!"
Brother Three waved his hand, "No need for that. Everyone has their fate. Meeting a young hero like you, it's only right that I meet my end!"
Li Nan understood Brother Three's intention and dared not say more.
"Let me rest for a bit. I haven't had a break in half my life, and now that I finally have a few days of peace, it's still the end of my time!"
Li Nan knew Brother Three's condition and didn't disturb him, stepping back outside.
Just as Li Nan closed the door, Brother Three said, "Is Fatty around? Let him come in for a moment!"
When Li Nan went out, he saw Fatty waiting nearby and said, "Brother Three wants to see you!"
Fatty pushed the door open and entered, engaging in a heartfelt conversation with Brother Three.
Outside the room, Mo Xiaohui stood beside Li Nan and quietly asked, "How is Brother Three doing?"
Seeing Li Nan frown, Mo Xiaohui understood something and quickly changed the subject, "What did Brother Three tell you?"
Li Nan dragged his weary body downstairs and replied to Mo Xiaohui, "Brother Three's condition is temporarily confidential. Just say he is gradually recovering!"
Mo Xiaohui acknowledged this, and Li Nan continued, "For the next few days, Brother Three will stay in this Small Building. You will take care of him. Remember, no one else is allowed in that room, not even Li Da Peng!"
Although Li Nan didn't explicitly state his intentions, Mo Xiaohui could guess a thing or two. Brother Three's safety was certainly tied to the overall security of the camp, so it couldn't be taken lightly.
After a long while, Fatty finally came down from upstairs, while Li Nan sat on the sofa in the hall, resting with his eyes closed.
Fatty's first words were, "We need to act quickly and find that Snake Venom Antidote!"
Li Nan spread his hands and said, "No! We have to wait a bit longer!"
Fatty was puzzled, "Why? Although Brother Three still has some time, there might be unexpected events!"
"We've already told others that Brother Three is gradually recovering. If we go out boldly to search for the Snake Venom Antidote now, it would clearly be like covering our ears while stealing a bell. How could anyone believe that Brother Three has recovered? So we need to humble ourselves, think carefully, and remain calm. It would be best if we could keep it under wraps!"
Upon hearing Li Nan's words, Fatty felt overwhelmed. "What do you mean?"
Li Nan gestured for Fatty to sit down. "We'll set out tomorrow!"
Fatty didn't understand but seeing Li Nan's confidence, he could only agree, "Brother Three lets me listen to you; I have no objections, so I'll follow your lead!"
Li Nan took out a box of cigarettes from his chest and handed one to Fatty, then asked, "What did Brother Three tell you?"
Fatty took the cigarette and blew out smoke rings. "Nothing much! Just some trivial family matters!"
Li Nan chuckled lightly, "You really are a clever Fatty!"
