Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life Chapter 87 - 86: Treating Night Blindness

After buying things from the supermarket, Lin Wanwan went to the pharmacy to purchase Vitamin A. So people at the Lin Family Manor had night blindness, and she had to treat them. For her, who could travel between two worlds, this was a piece of cake.

Upon reaching the store, she realized that multivitamins were more appropriate, as capsules were too advanced, and tablets could be explained as similar to Alchemy.

After shopping, on the taxi ride back, Lin Wanwan thought again about getting a driver’s license. Having a car indeed seed more convenient. For example, in situations like this, she could just put the purchased items in the car and continue with other things.

At the entrance of the community, the online car-hailing driver was unwilling to drive into the community to drop her at the doorstep. He said the navigation address she set was at the community entrance, and he had already accepted the next order, so Lin Wanwan had to carry the items in by herself. This incident made Lin Wanwan even more determined to get a driver’s license and buy a car imdiately.

No sooner said than done. After carrying the items ho, Lin Wanwan imdiately opened her phone to search for local driving school information. After so comparison, she made a call and after a brief inquiry, took her original ID card and a copy to the driving school registration point to enroll.

The driving school was very efficient, and they imdiately arranged for Lin Wanwan to have a physical examination. Lin Wanwan quickly completed the examination, and the registration was done. Next, she was to wait for the driving school to schedule the theoretical learning.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Wanwan felt a bit tired. By the ti she returned to the Great Tang, it was already early morning, and she fell asleep almost as soon as she hit the pillow.

The next day, Lin Wanwan didn’t bother to head to Xiaoxi Town to divert attention. Instead, she directly took out the compound multivitamins poured into a porcelain bottle, found the Clan Leader, and ntioned wanting to treat the clan’s night blindness.

The Clan Leader was puzzled about the term "night blindness". What was that?

Lin Wanwan explained: "Clan Leader Uncle, what I an is, so clan mbers can’t see things when it gets dark, which is actually a disease, but it can be cured. I’ve now formulated a dicine to treat the inability to see at night, so I ca to tell you."

Hearing this, the Clan Leader joyfully said: "So, it turns out night blindness can be cured. That’s great news, I’ll notify everyone."

Lin Wanwan laughed and said: "Then I’ll trouble you, Clan Leader Uncle. I’ll wait at ho; everyone who can’t see at night can co to my house to get the dicine."

"That’s good, but we can’t let you provide the treatnt and pay for the dicine. We should pay whatever the cost is. Last ti with the insect-repelling candy, you already spent a lot, we can’t ask you to subsidize again."

Lin Wanwan thought for a mont and casually said: "That’s fine, this dicine is quite cheap. Each person can pay five coins."

The Clan Leader rubbed his hands, slightly embarrassed, and said: "Well, Wanwan, your aunt also can’t see at night, do you have the dicine with you now?"

Lin Wanwan smiled: "Yes, I have it."

After speaking, she took a small porcelain bottle and a piece of cut wax paper from her sleeve pocket, poured so white compound multivitamins onto the wax paper, and handed them to the Clan Leader: "Here, Clan Leader Uncle, three tis a day, one pill each ti, after als. After one course, it should be okay."

The Clan Leader turned around and instructed his wife, Mrs. Niu, to take five coins from the room and hand them to Lin Wanwan. She knew the Clan Leader’s stubbornness and did not refuse.

"Wanwan, is it five coins, and five coins are enough?"

"Enough, enough."

The most ordinary and simple small white bottle multivitamins were indeed cheap and effective. A bottle costs only a few dozen yuan and contains a hundred pills, Lin Wanwan bought quite a lot. Her casual ntion of five coins was not expensive.

However, for the people at the Lin Family Manor, spending five coins was sothing they had to think about. Especially those who thought that since there was nothing to do at night anyway, it didn’t matter if they couldn’t see. They were even more reluctant to spend this money.

For them, going to bed early could also save so consumption, allowing them to eat less food.

This was not an uncommon thought among them, because when they could see at night, they would need to light candles, which was another expense. It wasn’t necessary, truly not necessary; they couldn’t work at night anyway.

Lin Wanwan couldn’t help but hold her forehead, knowing that she should have said two coins. Changing her words now wasn’t easy. However, for the few children with night blindness, she directly treated them without charging.

Actually, within the entire Great Tang, the proportion of night blindness cases in Lin Family Manor wasn’t high. Inland, this situation was more common. After all, people living by the sea rely on seafood, and frequently eating fish, shrimp, shellfish, squid, clams, and seaweed provides many trace elents for supplentation.

For those clan mbers who were reluctant to spend money on it, Lin Wanwan advised them to eat more seaweed, saying it could also help alleviate the condition.

Upon hearing Lin Wanwan say this, so clan mbers who already spent five coins on the dicine suddenly found the dicine in their hands tasting bitter. If they had known that eating seaweed could also cure night blindness, why spend money? Then they comforted themselves by thinking that no matter what, taking the dicine would heal their eyes faster, so it wasn’t a loss.

After the matter of treating night blindness was settled, ti quickly flew to the end of the solar year.

For people in the Great Tang, there was no concept of New Year’s countdown.

For the people of the Great Tang, the only year celebration was the Spring Festival. In fact, even in modern society, the countdown for the new year only gradually beca popular as life got better and people started pursuing spiritual living.

On the day before the countdown, Lin Wanwan found an excuse to go to Xiaoxi Town to et friends, and Kun Lun drove the cart to leave Lin Family Manor. Little Qingyu was reluctant for Lin Wanwan to leave for two or three days, and when they parted, the little one still had tears in his eyes as he looked at Lin Wanwan.

This tearful mont almost softened Lin Wanwan’s heart, making her not want to leave. But in the end, it was Yun Shang, who always took care of Little Qingyu, who smartly called many small friends to distract Little Qingyu’s attention, allowing Lin Wanwan to proceed with her plans.

On this outing, Lin Wanwan also brought along a bamboo basket of cherries and a bunch of grapes to give to Xiao Chong as a New Year’s gift. Xiao Chong had sent her quite a few gifts over the years, so she naturally needed to reciprocate. Cherries and grapes, in the Great Tang, were definitely valuable New Year’s gifts, even given to aristocrats living in Chang’an, they wouldn’t lose face.

Xiao Chong appeared elegant, but in reality, he was quite laid-back, with a weak sense of ti. As Lin Wanwan got more acquainted with him, she realized that he was exceptionally casual, not at all like the formal, poised, restrained gentleman she had imagined.

Thinking back, when Lin Wanwan first t Xiao Chong, he was dressed like a regular person, and when he jumped off the field ridge, he didn’t care at all about whether it was dirty.

This indicates that he wasn’t very strict about image managent. Lin Wanwan had seen Xiao Chong a few tis taking out fruit to eat from his sleeve, which seed very down-to-earth and reduced the transcendent aura his appearance brought.

Among those fruits, cherries appeared most frequently.

Lin Wanwan, through observation, believed Xiao Chong particularly loved cherries. This ti she brought cherries as a gift, which suited his tastes.

After giving Xiao Chong the New Year’s gift, Lin Wanwan sat in the carriage and soon disappeared into the hustle and bustle of Xiaoxi Town.
