The so-called old woman heard the little girl's cry and quickly grabbed the older girl and held her in her arms. She also covered the little girl's mouth and told her not to scream nonsense, so as not to make the leader angry and be driven away to live a hard life. The little girl also wiped her tears pitifully.
Luo Chong looked at this scene in surprise, turned to You Fu and asked, "What did she say?"
"The woman next to her can't see anything. The little girl wants you to help her see if she can recover, but the woman won't let you. She said she was afraid you would drive them away, hehe." You Fu said with a smile, and then glanced at Luo Chong, as if to see whether Luo Chong would drive people away. This was a disguised provocation.
Luo Chong glanced at him sideways and walked to the woman. The woman still opened her white eyes and looked ahead. When Luo Chong walked up to her, the woman also turned her head to look at Luo Chong.
What does this mean? It means that this person is not blind, but has some vision. At least she can still see a figure approaching her. Looking at the color of her eyes, she doesn't need to be checked, she has cataracts.
There is no cure for this. Luo Chong knows some common sense about cataracts. Whether it is congenital or acquired, there are only two treatment methods. Take medicine in the early stage, and generally take vitamins. If there are no vitamins, eat more wild vegetables and animal offal for dietary therapy. The key is that she has been suffering from the disease for many years. In this case, surgery is the only option.
Moreover, the surgery can only be performed with modern instruments. Ultrasound shatters the lens, emulsifies it, and then transplants an artificial lens. In fact, it is similar to myopia recovery surgery, which is to cut the eyeball. Luo Chong heard this from a comrade who had undergone myopia recovery surgery.
But for this surgery, even if you invite Hua Tuo, he can't cure it. He doesn't have high-tech medical equipment.
Luo Chong is even more impossible. Can he treat illnesses? Yes, but he can only treat some simple diseases. Can he perform surgery? Yes, but it is just some battlefield first aid knowledge.
He knows how to set bones, but that's not for saving people, it's for the joint correction technique learned in fighting. The purpose of learning that is to break bones, like breaking fingers, which is a cheap trick with high damage value and is particularly effective. He knows
a little bit about surgery, which is limited to trauma, surgery, suturing, removing bullets, and even amputation of arms and legs blown off by bombs, but it can only be cut from the joint. If you have a bone fracture, you can only cut from the upper joint. Luo Chong's ability is so limited, he really can't do anything about it.
The little girl in the woman's arms was still looking at Luo Chong with her big watery eyes, her eyes were full of begging, but Luo Chong was powerless.
He rubbed the little girl's head, turned to You Fu and said, "Tell her that it's been too long and it can't be cured, but I won't drive them away."
You Fu was also surprised. He didn't expect Luo Chong to answer like this. Could it be cured earlier? That would be amazing. How can this Han leader know everything?
After a moment of daze, You Fu translated Luo Chong's words. The woman kept thanking him, but the little girl couldn't stop crying.
Luo Chong felt a little uncomfortable watching this scene, as if he was a doctor, but he could only tell the patient's family that your family member has a terminal illness and I can't cure it. It was a feeling of guilt. He
resisted the urge to look at the women, and slowly observed the other savages. Just as Luo Chong predicted at the beginning, most of them had some old injuries and disabilities, but few could be treated.
For example, those who had broken their arms before, and there were no open wounds, and then slowly healed themselves, but the broken bones did not grow straight. If they wanted to treat it, they could only break their arms again and then connect them. The problem is that doing this is just a waste of time. Do they expect Luo Chong to support them for nothing? What's more, it would be more painful to break their arms again.
After checking them one by one, there are actually quite a few good people. The better the people, the younger they are. Most of them are children abandoned when the tribe is too small and encounters a food crisis. But some of them survived tenaciously and grew up slowly.
Looking at these 150 people, there are a total of 100 men, and the rest are some old women who have lost their fertility and abandoned by the tribe, as well as some little girls; more than 70 men have old injuries and disabilities, and the rest are healthy young men.
Luo Chong's resettlement method is also very simple. All women go to expand the hemp fields, and the children stay in the tribe; the disabled men with inconvenient legs and feet go to make bricks. The job of pressing brick molds is fixed, and anyone with a healthy hand can do it. Those
with disabled arms drive ox carts, responsible for driving carts and transporting bricks between brick kilns and urban areas; those without injuries or disabilities are used to expand the scale of the construction team.
After all the assignments were made, everyone really found a suitable job. Even the little girls took the initiative to collect grass to feed the rabbits. The woman with cataracts went to help Xiaodie, helping to press the alpacas and taking care of the little girls near the corral.
There are too many jobs in the Han tribe, and there is no shortage of jobs. There is always a place where you can use your talents and expertise. This is also the reason why those outsiders can quickly integrate into the Han tribe, because there is no barrier, they can find something they like to do, and everyone is united and working together. Better than before.
After the savages were settled, Youfu took a few men from the You tribe to go hunting. They would stay here for a few days. Although the You tribe also had some food reserves, they couldn't just sit back and eat it all. But they couldn't go to the hunting area of the Han tribe to hunt, which would be considered stealing prey. Youfu
had no choice but to find Luo Chong again, and Luo Chong was arranging the carpentry team to build a four-wheeled ox cart again according to the last specification.
"Chief Han, I want to take people to hunt, but all these places are your hunting grounds. Look at this?"
Luo Chong looked at him speechlessly. He was really busy. However, he looked to the east and suddenly had an idea.
"We built a bridge a few days ago. We can go to the other side of the river. That side is not the hunting range of our tribe. You can take your people to have a look. Maybe you will get something." Luo Chong pointed to the small bridge in the east and said.
"Bridge? Can we cross the river? We haven't been to the other side of that river. It would be great if we could cross it here. Maybe our You tribe would know more tribes." You Fu said excitedly.
This is exactly why Luo Chong asked him to go. In Luo Chong's eyes, the You tribe is like an explorer, rushing to any unfamiliar place. If it weren't for the Han tribe having so many things to manage, even Luo Chong would want to go out with them, but unfortunately he couldn't.
"Haha, of course you can go. You can go to the other side of the bridge today. If you are interested in that side, maybe I can cooperate with you on a task. The task is about the other side of the bridge." Luo Chong said temptingly.
"Really? Then I must go and see it today."
Just like that, You Fu led ten men across the bridge. The other women and children of the You tribe stayed in the Han tribe to help cultivate the hemp fields and exchange their labor for white salt. However, he could not see Luo Chong's evil smile when he turned around.
