Chapter 108
As they walked, they arrived at a resettlement site for the disaster victims. A large number of disaster victims gathered here. They were ragged, haggard, and their eyes revealed despair and helplessness.
Yin Zijin looked at the scene in front of him, and an indescribable pain surged in his heart. He had never imagined that there was such a miserable place in the world.
Before traveling through time, Yin Zijin had always lived a life of luxury and love by her parents. The Yin family, one of the four great families in the Great Sheng Dynasty, also lived a life without worries about food and clothing. It can be said that Yin Zijin did not really see the so-called sufferings of the world...
Every tent looked shabby and was packed with people inside and outside. They slept on the ground because there was no place to sleep. There was a terrible smell in the air, the smell of blood and decay, the smell of disease, hunger and despair.
Yin Zijin saw many children, they were starving to the point of skin and bones, their faces were as pale as paper, but there was still a desire for life in their eyes. These children should be playing happily in the sunshine, but now they can only suffer here.
Some elderly people were also sitting there, their faces full of wrinkles and their bodies so weak that they seemed like they might collapse at any time. They have been through ups and downs before, but now they seem so fragile.
Yin Zijin also saw a mother who was so hungry that she had no milk. In order to take care of her newborn baby who was crying from hunger, she cut her finger and fed the baby her blood. The mother was dressed in rags, with a broken bowl next to her. The rice soup in the bowl was mixed with wheat bran, which animals eat, as well as soil and tiny grains of sand. The rice grains in the bowl were clearly visible. Only when the baby stopped crying did the mother tremble and pick up the bowl from the ground and start eating voraciously.
There were also some young men who were extremely weak from hunger at the moment. They could only wail weakly, hoping that there were soldiers here and they could get something to eat. If I act rashly, I might not have anything to eat...
Yin Zijin's eyes swept over these people, her heart was filled with sorrow, tears fell unconsciously. There were men and women, old and young, some were pale and thin, some were swollen all over and their stomachs were swollen like balloons.
Yin Zijin asked in a low voice: "Why? Hasn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already..."
Yin Xu sighed and said, "After all, the Crown Prince's ability is limited, you can't treat him as a saint. Disaster relief requires the unity of the monarch and his subjects. But from the fact that the Crown Prince was injured, it can be seen that they don't seem to be so united."
Yin Zijin looked at the mother and the baby and blurted out in a low voice: "I really want those officials who embezzled the food rations of the disaster victims to come here and see if they have any heart..."
Before Yin Zijin could finish his words, the mother holding the baby knelt down in front of Yin Zijin and Yin Xu, as if she had used all her strength.
As if she was afraid of dirtying the noble's dress, the lady cried weakly, but each cry was intoxicating. There seemed to be large stains of blood on her dark dress, her lips were chapped, and her skin was dark: "Girl, please save my child! I gave birth to her with all my might, and I know my own body. I can't live anymore. If no one saves her, she will be an orphan. She's a girl, so she will be even more unable to survive." Yin Zijin was at a loss for a moment.
When the woman came closer, the smell of fresh blood became stronger. Yin Xu frowned and quickly put the child into Yin Zijin's arms. He squatted down and felt the pulse of the lady. The more he felt, the tighter his brows frowned. He shook his head and said, "It's not good. It's postpartum hemorrhage. Heavy bleeding. The bleeding can't be stopped. She doesn't have much time left..."
Yin Zijin looked at the crying baby in her arms. The baby was not even one month old, skinny and small, and had no strength to cry. Yin Zijin couldn't help asking, "Why don't you find a doctor? Didn't they set up a temporary clinic?"
The woman said weakly: "Because I was too hungry and couldn't keep up with the business, I didn't know I would give birth early. There was no midwife when I gave birth, and those people thought it was unlucky, so no one took me to see a doctor.
I was too weak to go, and the doctors were all men, so I didn’t want to go, so I gave birth anyway…”
Yin Xu glanced at the woman and said, "I will do my best to treat her, but she only has a 20% to 30% chance of survival. I will take the child away first. I will find someone to help take care of her. You must hold on."
The woman nodded, tears of hope in her eyes, and said, "Okay, I will hold on. I still want to watch my daughter grow up."
Afterwards, Yin Xu took the baby from Yin Zijin's hands and said to Yin Zijin: "Let's go back quickly, get some medicine, and try our best to treat that woman!"
Yin Zijin nodded and followed Yin Xu back. Yin Zijin walked and said: "Uncle San, don't you think it's too chaotic? There must be more than one disaster site for today's incident.
We can divide the resettlement sites for disaster victims into one area for pregnant women and children, one area for seriously ill patients, one area for critically ill patients, and one area for minor injuries, separated by white cloth. Three to five doctors are stationed in each place, so that basically every patient can be taken care of.
We then select those who are in good health and can walk and move to take care of those who are seriously ill and do some cleaning work. If the resettlement site is still so dirty and messy in the future, and is very tolerant of infectious diseases, this will save a lot of effort and be able to take care of more people..." Yin Zijin said as he thought, completely moving the modern hospital set over.
Yin Xu's eyes lit up. Looking at the young Yin Zijin, who had such a thoughtful solution, he immediately looked up to Yin Zijin. Yin Xu said quickly: "Okay, let's do it according to Zijin's idea. I will talk to my disciples and discuss it with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to implement this matter as soon as possible.
But you should take this little baby back and let Ruhe and Nanny Zhou take care of him for a few days. After some time, I will find someone to raise her.
Zijin, go now! There are not enough people here to take care of it. Anyway, Nanny Zhou and Ruhe have nothing to do, so let them take care of it for a few days. ”
