Chapter 92 The Walking Physician in the Team

Cheng Lanzhou walked over quickly, her voice full of concern: "Elder sister, are you feeling unwell?"

Cheng Daier frowned, pressed her right hand to her lower abdomen, and said in a weak voice, "It's nothing, my stomach just hurts a little. I probably ate too many wild vegetables earlier."

Everyone ate wild vegetables just now, and everyone else is fine, so why is it that only my sister is in pain?

Cheng Lanzhou frowned even more, wondering if he had eaten something bad, but Cheng Daier waved her hand.

"It's alright, it might be fine in a little while, don't worry."

Seeing her restrained demeanor, Cheng Lanzhou was still somewhat uneasy and could only silently keep an eye on her condition.

As night deepened, the camp gradually quieted down, leaving only the occasional snores and indistinct sleep talking.

As Cheng Lanzhou lay on the simple bamboo mat, always on high alert, he suddenly heard Cheng Dai'er's suppressed murmurs, filled with obvious pain.

He immediately got up and, by the faint moonlight, walked to Cheng Dai'er's side, asking softly, "Elder sister, how are you? Is your stomach still hurting?"

Cheng Daier clutched her lower abdomen, cold sweat soaking her temples. She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, but she could only bite her lip and nod.

Without thinking further, he turned and walked towards Jiang Yutang's direction, his steps quick but as quiet as possible to avoid waking others.

He could endure physical discomfort, but he absolutely could not bear to see his family suffer like this.

He avoided the others and went straight to Jiang Yutang's bamboo mat. Looking at her figure curled up in the thin blanket, he called out softly twice.

"Jiang Yutang, Jiang Yutang."

Jiang Yutang turned her head groggily and, by the moonlight, saw that the person who came was Cheng Lanzhou. She was stunned and sat up, wrapped in a thick towel.

"It's you? What's wrong so late?"

Her small face looked particularly pale in the moonlight, and there was still a trace of fatigue between her brows, clearly indicating that she was not feeling well.

Looking at her small face, Cheng Lanzhou couldn't help but worry: Could it be that she also had food poisoning?

He immediately regained consciousness, his voice low and urgent: "My elder sister is not feeling well, her stomach is hurting badly, I hope you can take a look at her."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yutang didn't ask any further questions. She immediately wrapped a thick towel around herself, stood up, and said softly, "Let's go take a look."

She endured the throbbing pain in her lower abdomen and slowly followed behind Cheng Lanzhou.

When the two arrived, Madam Lin had also woken up and was standing beside Cheng Daier with a worried expression. Upon seeing them, she quickly made way for them.

"Dair's lower abdomen is really bad, you should take a look at her quickly."

Jiang Yutang approached Cheng Daier, squatted down, and first touched the other's forehead to check her temperature. Then she gently asked about the location of the pain and whether there were any other discomforts.

Cheng Daier endured the pain and gave a simple response.

After listening, Jiang Yutang tilted his head in confusion and looked at Cheng Daier, his tone carrying a hint of uncertainty yet certainty.

"Auntie, are you... also on your period?"

Cheng Dai'er frowned, gradually recovering from the pain, and her eyes gradually cleared.

She propped herself up and sat up, subconsciously checking her physical condition. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she nodded somewhat shyly.

"It seems... they really have arrived."

Just as Jiang Yutang was about to ask for more details, she caught a glimpse of Cheng Lanzhou still standing behind her. She immediately looked up at him, pursed her lips, and gestured for him to leave.

Cheng Lanzhou naturally understood that this was a private matter for his daughter, so he didn't linger and turned to walk to a stop a short distance away.

Lin then hurriedly explained, "Dai'er never experienced pain during her period before. She learned martial arts from her father for a while when she was young, and she has always been very healthy. This is the first time she has encountered such pain that she can't even straighten her back."

Jiang Yutang nodded upon hearing this, and analyzed it using his modern knowledge.

"This may be due to changes in environment, irregular diet, and anxiety from traveling all the way. These factors combined led to her endocrine imbalance, which caused her dysmenorrhea."

"Hormonal imbalance?" the two asked, looking puzzled, clearly having never heard of the term before.

Cheng Dai'er pressed on anxiously, "What does that mean?"

"Well--"

Jiang Yutang paused, carefully explaining in terms they could understand: "Simply put, it means that the meridians in a woman's body are out of order. But don't worry too much. Just relax and take good care of yourself for a few days and you'll recover."

As she spoke, she took out the few remaining ibuprofen pills from her pocket, handed them to Cheng Daier, and instructed, "These are painkillers. Take one at a time, and it will relieve the pain for four hours. Don't take more."

Cheng Daier took the medicine and held it in her hand. Looking at Jiang Yutang's pale face, she hesitated before speaking.

"You're not feeling well yourself, are you having menstrual cramps too? If you give me the medicine, what will you do if the pain gets really bad later?"

Jiang Yutang shrugged indifferently: "I'm much better now, I'm basically not in pain anymore. Take these medicines and use them, don't try to tough it out."

She paused, then added, "Be careful not to catch a cold these days, keep your stomach warm, and eat a light diet. That should help you recover faster."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Daier raised her eyebrows unhappily, as if she had found the culprit: "Then why did you eat hot pot today!"

The implication is: So it turns out I'm only feeling unwell because of you.

Jiang Yutang chuckled dryly and didn't argue with her. Over the past few days, she had figured out Cheng Daier's character. She wasn't a bad person, just a bit sharp-tongued, just like Jiang Sumin.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to take two more ibuprofen pills in case she really couldn't handle it.

"If I'm free tomorrow, I'll give you the rest of the medicine."

Watching from the side, Madam Lin's eyes were full of gratitude: "Yutang, thank you so much this time. I didn't even have a chance to thank you for Lanzhou's matter before."

The Cheng family member who changed the fastest was Lin Shi. She was originally a mother who was easily influenced, and anyone who could help her children was considered her benefactor.

Jiang Yutang smiled and said, "Our two families are now on the same side, so it's only right that we look out for each other."

Cheng Lanzhou, who was not far away, listened to their conversation intermittently. When she learned that Jiang Yutang was still willing to take care of her elder sister even though she had not fully recovered herself, she felt a surge of gratitude.

Holding the painkillers in her hand, Cheng Daier looked into Jiang Yutang's sincere eyes, her gratitude beyond words, and whispered, "Thank you."

Jiang Yutang pulled the thick blanket around her tighter and instructed, "Take your medicine and rest well. Don't think too much."

After saying that, he turned and left, and saw Cheng Lanzhou standing in front of him.

She tightened her grip on the thick blanket, and as she passed by Cheng Lanzhou, he suddenly spoke up: "I'll take you."

"No need, it's just a few steps away."

Jiang Yutang quickly refused. She didn't want to be alone with Cheng Lanzhou. Every cell in her body felt uneasy, and she didn't want any unnecessary misunderstandings.

Cheng Lanzhou insisted on seeing her off: "I invited you here, so it's my responsibility to take you back."

Seeing his persistence, Jiang Yutang had no choice but to continue walking forward on her own.

The moonlight shone on the two of them, casting long shadows.

Cheng Lanzhou walked very lightly, almost without making a sound, but she could see the long shadow in her peripheral vision, following behind her.

"that......"

Cheng Lanzhou suddenly spoke, and Jiang Yutang stopped and turned around in confusion, seeing his slightly awkward expression with his brows furrowed.
