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

Chapter 54 Rot
"Just go back when I tell you to, stop with all this nonsense." Liang Guang cursed and glared at Madam Chang.

You've really improved!

Even they dared not provoke that little devilish demon, yet these people dared to approach and cause trouble for the little monster. Did they have a death wish?

Madam Chang covered her burning face with one hand, her eyes full of resentment.

Xin Nian ignored them, leaving Liang Guang to deal with the group of women, while she pulled Chang Mianmian away and walked out on her own.

"Mianmian." Xin Nian put a jar in her hand and patted it.

Chang Mianmian understood, raised her hand and pressed it on the jar to release water.

Madam Chang followed behind the two, but at this moment she felt somewhat uneasy.

She couldn't quite explain it, but for some reason, she always felt that there was a harmonious yet strange atmosphere between her young lady and the sixth young lady of the Xin family, as if outsiders couldn't easily get involved.

Xin Nian turned to look at the Third Madam, smiled kindly, and said, "Third Madam and Mianmian, please wait here for a moment."

She handed the umbrella to Chang Mianmian and then slipped into the neighboring cave dwelling.

This earthen cave dwelling is much larger than the previous two; it's a large double-bay cave dwelling, divided into left and right rooms.

As Xin Nian walked in, the first thing she saw was Wang Bangyan's mother, who was lying sprawled on the ground.

She was sprawled out like a starfish, with her son and daughter beside her, both very dutiful, one massaging her back and the other rubbing her shoulders; she seemed to be enjoying herself quite a bit…

The wife of the second-place scholar nodded and smiled politely at her.

The Zhao family, who had gone mad, leaned against the wall, barely breathing. There were also many other exiled prisoners, none of whom were in good condition.

Xin Nian glanced at it, then walked towards the earthen cave dwelling on the right. More than half of the fifty-odd people from Longhu Village were sitting on the ground in shackles.

As she approached, many people looked up at her.

Zhao Xun quickly stood up and walked towards her. "Why did you come here?"

The little girl smiled sweetly at her, "Here, I brought you some food. And this bottle of water, it's clean."

Zhao Xun's eyes lit up, and as his hand, which was in the shackles, reached for the item, Xin Nian put the item on the ground first, took out a key, and quickly unlocked Zhao Xun's shackles.

Zhao Xun was surprised, "Your key?"

"Lord Liang gave it to me; he's a really kind man. As soon as he heard I was coming to visit Sister Zhao, he immediately gave me the key."

"Huh?" Especially good? Zhao Xun didn't see it that way.

"Come on, let's get something to eat first." Xin Nian pulled her to sit down to the side.

Zhao Xun took a sip of water from the jar, grinned at Xin Nian, and said, "Little sister, I'm so grateful for all the care you've given me along the way. I feel so bad."

"Not at all, it's you who has been taking care of the old lady."

"I was just doing my job for money, it's nothing." Zhao Xun waved his hand, met the dry gaze of the burly man opposite him, and pointed, "That's my own brother, Zhao Hu, the third leader of Dragon Tiger Stronghold."

"Little sister, just tell me what's wrong. Even if I can't do it, my brother is here for you."

Zhao Hu rolled his eyes, inwardly complaining.

He'd been staring at her longingly for ages, yet he hadn't even offered his own brother a drink; he was thinking of him while he worked.

“It really is something.” Xin Nian nodded with a smile. “As you know, with all this heavy rain, the road conditions will probably get even worse. I need to hire you for a while longer to take care of my old lady.”

"Oh, what's the big deal? I would have continued carrying the old lady on my back even if you hadn't said anything." Zhao Xun waved his hand dismissively.

He paused suddenly, scratched his head, and said, "Little sister, I actually have a favor to ask of you too."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

“I heard them say that you are a very good doctor, little sister. You cured your older brother. Even that Physician Cheng was helpless, but you cured him.”

"No, Physician Cheng simply didn't have any suitable medicinal herbs on hand. Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice."

Zhao Xun scratched his head, "I just wanted to ask my little sister to take a look at my older brother." Xin Nian glanced at Zhao Hu, who gave her a silly, goofy smile.

Xin Nian raised an eyebrow. This guy looked burly and strong, and although he looked tired, she couldn't see anything wrong with him.

"It's not him, it's not him, it's my elder brother, our leader Zhao Jianghe." Zhao Xun stood up and invited Xin Nian to come with him.

“My elder brother is no different from my own brother. Little sister, if you can help me take care of my elder brother, I can take care of not only the old lady, but your whole family!” Zhao Xun patted her chest and promised.

"Let's see what the situation is first. I've only learned a few prescriptions from itinerant doctors, so I only know a little bit about it." Xin Nian didn't dare to make any guarantees; the matter of curing illnesses was hard to say.

Whether she can be cured or not, she doesn't want to cause trouble for nothing.

There is no one in this world who can cure all diseases.

Zhao Xun nodded quickly, "Don't worry, little sister, just take a look for me. We won't force you. My older brother... sigh, you'll know once you see him."

When the other brothers heard that the little girl was going to examine their eldest brother, they hurriedly moved aside, quickly clearing a space for the two to walk to the innermost part.

Zhao Jianghe lay against the wall, bound from head to toe with several fine iron chains, looking as if he were barely breathing.

Xin Nian raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself that it must have been really tough for Boss Zhao to carry such a heavy iron chain weighing over a hundred pounds all the way.

She sat down in front of him.

Zhao Jianghe suddenly opened his eyes, his tiger-like eyes meeting the clear, smiling almond-shaped eyes, and he was somewhat stunned.

"Big brother, big brother, you're awake? Have some water, big brother." Zhao Xun was truly a devoted and filial sister, and quickly fed Zhao Jianghe a few mouthfuls of canned food.

Zhao Hu smacked his lips sourly and let out a hum.

"Brother, this is my younger sister from the Xin family. Let me introduce her to you. I'll have her take a look at your injury. Don't resist at all."

Zhao Jianghe gave a wry smile, "How could you... Oh well, let's just watch."

He glanced at the little girl and said, "My injury looks rather frightening, little girl, please don't be scared."

Zhao Xun then pointed to the young scholar sitting next to Zhao Jianghe, "This is our second-in-command, Fan Xing."

Xin Nian nodded to everyone in turn, then glanced at Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun hurriedly squatted down in front of Zhao Jianghe, "My older brother is injured in the leg, the wound is a bit... uh."

She also wanted to prepare the little girl psychologically first.

Unexpectedly, Xin Nian waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. I've seen all kinds of injuries. Take it off."

Everyone glanced at her silently.

Zhao Xun coughed and stepped forward to roll up the legs of his older brother's prison uniform.

Xin Nian saw a fist-sized pit of decay, with the surrounding flesh rotting and blood vessels faintly visible.

The little girl couldn't help but sigh, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Zhao Jianghe, "Big brother, you're really something!"

Even with such severe injuries, he can still walk 20,000 to 30,000 steps a day! Carrying a hundred-pound iron chain, he doesn't walk much slower than others...

"Doesn't it hurt?"

"It hurts," Zhao Jianghe nodded.

"You're still leaving even though it hurts?"

"If you don't leave, you'll get beaten up."

"That's true."

Everyone looked at the two of them with strange expressions, feeling that the conversation was somewhat funny.

"Big brother." Xin Nian took Zhao Jianghe's hand, patted it, and looked serious.
