My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 145 Eye Diseases, Prevention

Throughout the entire process, his daughter always addressed him as "Changpingping" and didn't take him, her father, seriously at all.

Chang Ping was utterly humiliated. When he turned to meet the gazes of the eldest son and his family, he felt even more enraged.

Lord Chang's gaze was somewhat intriguing. Chang Ping met his brother's eyes and originally wanted to say something to prove himself, but in the end, he was embarrassed and annoyed, and dragged Chang Yaozong back to their original seats.

The group fell silent, and no one dared to speak loudly.

The commotion from the lines ahead and behind grew clearer. Everyone was complaining of eye pain and needing a doctor, mixed with the pitiful wails of women and children.

Xie Ninglan sighed, and listening to the cries and screams, she found it hard to swallow the warm sesame dumplings in her hands.

Xin Nian handed her mother's thermos and reminded her, "Eat quickly. There will only be more and more of these kinds of things in the future. We can't control too many people; we can only try to protect ourselves."

Xie Ninglan nodded, took the cup, and took two sips of water.

Looking up, they saw Xin Ruoyu, the third daughter of the second wife, walking hesitantly in front of them, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong with Ruoyu? Is there not enough food?"

"No, no, I've already eaten." Xin Ruoyu quickly waved her hand and said in a small voice, "Fourth Aunt, I, I want to say a few words to Sixth Sister."

"Oh, okay." Xie Ninglan nodded and stood up, making room for Xin Nian next to her.

"What's wrong, Third Sister?" Seeing her hesitant expression, Xin Nian looked her up and down and whispered, "Is it... your period?"

Xin Ruoyu blushed and hurriedly shook her head, "I haven't been here since we set off. My stomach has been hurting a lot these past two days, and I was thinking of asking Sixth Sister to take a look at me."

Xin Nian wiped her hands and took her pulse.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Xin Ruoyu asked in a barely audible voice.

"It's okay," Xin Nian said, tilting her head to comfort her. "You're just too tired, that's normal. We've been traveling a lot lately, so it's perfectly normal for your period to be delayed. Don't worry too much or overthink it."

“Most of the women in the group have this problem now. I saw a young lady from the Han family last time, and her condition was even more serious than yours, but she was able to recover gradually. Don’t feel guilty. Once we’ve settled in and you’re eating and sleeping well, you’ll naturally recover to normal.”

"Mmm." Xin Ruoyu nodded pitifully.

Seeing that tears were about to fall again, Xin Nian quickly slipped a small sachet into her hand. "These are some painkillers I made myself in my spare time. Take one if the pain becomes unbearable. One a day at most, don't take more."

Xin Ruoyu gripped her palm tightly, her voice trembling slightly, "Sixth Sister."

"Alright. Do you have hot water?"

"Yes, yes, my third aunt burned two jars and shared some with all of us."

Just as the two sisters finished speaking, several people from the lines in front and behind them ran towards them, asking all at once, "Excuse me, is there a doctor?"

No one said anything.

"There are so many of you, could a doctor please speak up and help us out?"

"Is there a team leader? Who is the team leader?"

Team leader Xin Wenyuan fell asleep within three seconds of lying down... Why bother looking for a team leader?

Seeing that no one in the group spoke up, and that Doctor Zhuang and the others were also sitting silently with the Xin family, Physician Cheng sighed and stood up.

"I'll go with you and take a look."

Xin Nian rolled her eyes. "No way, what if you get knocked out and kidnapped? You're one of the rare doctors in the team; we can't do without you. You have to treat patients right under my nose." "Have them bring the patients over, and you can examine them one by one."

"We can try to save him, but if we can't, it's not your fault."

"Yes, yes." Madam Cheng had originally wanted to stop Physician Cheng, but upon hearing this, she quickly nodded. "Sixth Miss is absolutely right, Master. Just listen to Sixth Miss."

She tugged at Physician Cheng's sleeve and gave him a sharp look.

The latter, rather helpless, turned to the group of people who had come seeking medical help, and said, "Then bring the person over here so I can take a look. Let me make this clear first, you all know the situation. Although I am a doctor, I have no medicine on hand."

"I can only show you the patient's condition first."

The patient's family scattered in a panic, rushing to carry the patient and gather around Doctor Cheng.

Xin Nian also went in for a look.

Most patients suffered eye burns from the light, and now their eyes are red, swollen, and constantly tearing, with intense stinging pain, making it impossible for them to open their eyes completely.

"Sigh." After examining the patient, Physician Cheng sighed.

"I'll give them a few acupuncture treatments to relieve the symptoms. But I really don't have any medicine here. If you have any medicinal materials such as mulberry leaves, chrysanthemums, dendrobium, or pearl powder, you can give them to me to prepare for external application."

"But this is also quite difficult. Herbal therapy requires fumigation, and our current conditions are very limited, so I can only think of a simple method for everyone. The prerequisite is that you have these kinds of herbs on you before I can proceed."

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment, and cries of grief rose and fell.

"Doctor, where can we find herbs these days?"

Even if some patients' family members carry some herbal medicine, they dare not easily take it out in public, for fear of being robbed.

The crying was so loud and incessant, it made Xin Nian's heart ache.

Seeing that no one was willing to bring out the medicinal herbs, Physician Cheng simply gave the patients a few acupuncture treatments to relieve the stinging pain in their eyes.

"This acupuncture treatment only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause; it can only provide temporary relief," Physician Cheng told the patient's family.

"Doctor, what will happen to my husband if we can't find the medicinal herbs for fumigation?"

Physician Cheng sighed and shook his head. "It's hard to say. I've never seen this kind of eye condition before. The specific situation depends on the patient."

"Doctor, please think of another solution for us."

"Alright, alright, we've already given the acupuncture, and there's no medicine left. What can the doctor do? Doctors aren't gods." Zhao Hu, along with several tall and burly brothers, stood beside Physician Cheng.

The noisy patient's family members all shut up, feeling wronged.

“The aurora is so amazing. They almost went blind after just a short while of looking at it,” Xin Mengxue said softly, holding her mother Zhuang’s hand. “If it weren’t for Sixth Sister reminding us not to look, we would have been hurt too.”

Zhuang nodded with lingering fear, then pinched her daughter's arm. "Listen to your sixth sister more often in the future, and follow her lead in everything. You won't make any mistakes."

The old woman clutched her pounding heart. "Little Blue, will this light come again?"

Xie Ninglan pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "It will probably happen again. Everyone should be careful; the long night could end at any time. The arrival of the aurora will make things even more complicated for us."

"If you're not sleepy, take advantage of the time now and cut a few more strips of cloth. You can use them to cover your eyes later."

As Xie Ninglan spoke, she took out a clean piece of linen from her handbag and demonstrated it to the women next to her.

Teach them how to cut the fabric and how to tie knots so that the strips of fabric can cover their eyes securely without slipping or falling.
