Chapter 510: I Am the Richest in the World
They came to seek medical treatment. Their eyes were red and swollen, and they kept crying. In severe cases, they even bled.
Jiang Ning pretended not to understand, “What’s wrong?”
Ivanov anxiously replied, “It’s probably related to the sunlight these past few days. They’ve all injured their eyes and are almost blind now.”
Not only these people, but many people in the base have had their eyes exposed to sunlight.
Jiang Ning sighed helplessly, “Ivanov, I’m not an ophthalmologist. Even if I were, I don’t have any medicine.”
Ivanov said flatteringly, “Jiang, you’re the only one who understands medicine, and Chinese medicine is so profound. Please help us. Whether it can be cured or not, that’s another matter.”
If not cured, they would still give some supplies.
With that, Jiang Ning had no choice but to let them in.
It was impossible to let them enter the house, but she led them to the ice house in the front yard.
This was built by Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen. The area is not large; it can accommodate more than ten people, and there are two rooms.
Jiang Ning checked them. Their eyes were very swollen, and the secretions were not only a lot but also streaked with blood.
She went back inside to get some medicine, then brought it to the other ice house to boil. She had them come in one by one to steam their eyes.
A few injured Russians came first, followed by the injured ordinary survivors.
He Tianming was in the middle, his face twisted in pain but forcing himself to endure.
There was no one outside. Jiang Ning poured out a few anti-inflammatory and antibacterial Chinese medicine pills and gave him acupuncture.
He Tianming whispered, “Thank you.”
He had just heard the others say the treatment was only eye steaming, but clearly, he was receiving special treatment.
Worried that someone might overhear, Jiang Ning replied quietly, “It’s nothing. As long as you’re alive, one day you’ll see the light of dawn.”
He Tianming paused for a moment, “Will there really be… dawn?”
“There will,” she said. “As long as you’re alive, there’s hope.”
He Tianming took a deep breath, his eyes aching terribly.
Once the treatment was finished, he quietly waited for the results.
Ivanov asked, “He, what treatment did Jiang give you?”
“She disinfects my eyes with medicinal mist.”
“It feels like you’ve been gone for a long time?”
He Tianming forced a smile, “We are all Chinese. I couldn’t help asking a few more questions. I didn’t delay you, did I?”
In fact, it didn’t take long.
After treating everyone, Jiang Ning gave Ivanov a packet of medicine. “These are all I have. Try to fumigate your eyes a few times, rest more, and drink more water. If it still doesn’t work, I can’t do anything.”
The medicine and treatment required a total of 50 kilograms of meat or crocodile eggs.
Potatoes and corn are also fine, but the quantity must be doubled.
Ivanov readily agreed. “I’ll send it over tomorrow.”
Just as the Russians were leaving, the tycoons in a white robe arrived.
After being neighbors for so long, this is the first time they have visited. They don’t know Chinese but speak English.
Having not used a foreign language for ten years, Jiang Ning speaks very awkwardly and can barely express herself.
They also have injured eyes and want Jiang Ning to help treat them. They also want vegetables.
Jiang Ning was about to refuse, but her eyes were drawn to the jewels on his ten fingers.
This was a rich man, the ultimate representative of the wealthy class.
When she was young, she had only eaten steamed buns, while watching these wealthy people sparkle on TV. She secretly vowed that one day she too would wear jewels on all ten fingers.
The rich man was observant and immediately removed the jewels from his fingers.
But jewels cannot be eaten as food, so Jiang Ning asked for 10 more pounds of meat.
So, the rich man gave him 20 pounds of seal meat.
Jiang Ning gave him 3 doses of medicine and 5 pounds of green vegetables.
Back inside, she put the ten jeweled rings on her fingers and made a surprised face as she covered her mouth.
Doudou understood very well and took a photo of her sister-in-law immediately.
Not just a photo, but she also adjusted the lighting.
The jewels sparkled brilliantly under the light.
Huo Yishen, who thought she was very vain, “…”
Doudou also played along, not only did she wear rings full of jewels, but she also hung a dozen golden necklaces around her neck…
Huo Yishen couldn’t bear to watch and closed the door when he returned to his room.
The next day, Ivanov sent 50 kilograms of meat, as well as a box of cultural relics.
Two paintings, three ceramic pots and vases, all with a strong ancient Chinese style, probably from earlier years when they were brought overseas.
Jiang Ning was quite pleased, “Just right, I can use them as urinals. I won’t have to get up at night anymore.”
Ivanov laughed heartily.
Jiang Ning asked, “How are their eyes?”
“They’re not as painful, but they still can’t see clearly.”
Jiang Ning taught him some acupressure, “You can try this more often.”
“Jiang, your treatment method is quite good. We have a place to stay, and not many people have been injured by the sun. But the survivors along the Arctic coast are in trouble.”
Ivanov showed sympathy, “Recently, our hunting team went to the coast to hunt seals, and I heard many survivors from your country came. Do you plan to help them?”
Jiang Ning’s expression became complicated as she sighed quietly, “The land has sunk, and now the world is one. There’s no distinction between skin color or race. It’s good enough that I can take care of myself; I don’t have the energy to help others.”
She subtly passed the responsibility back, “As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. You have such a large residence, and you can grow potatoes and corn. You can find a way to help the victims on the coast.”
“We’ve already taken in quite a few people, and we’re still trying to find ways to help.”
Jiang Ning gave him a thumbs-up, “Dawali, great.”
The two dragged the things back to the house. Jiang Ning threw the crocodile meat into the space and picked up the porcelain bottle to look at it carefully.
Huo Yishen teased her. “Use them as urinals?”
Jiang Ning rolled her eyes at him. “If I said I was going to treat them like treasures, do you think Ivanov would give me more next time?”
Who said that the Russians were simple-minded? They were as clever as a sieve.
“Brother, sister-in-law, if you hadn’t destroyed the United Base, they wouldn’t have had the chance to take over.”
Doudou was dissatisfied. “They gained the advantage and still acted innocent, but every day they are either testing or doubting us.”
Jiang Ning was more transparent, “It’s because they are incapable that they fear losing.”
“What if one day they turn on us?”
“Then just kill them!”
After Huo Yishen examined the paintings and vases, he confirmed they were of high quality and put them in the space for safekeeping.
Bored, Jiang Ning took out the ball to play with the two.
Coke and Bai Xue were thrilled, fighting over the ball and even baring their teeth in a hurry.
However, Jiang Ning’s smile gradually faded.
She locked both of them in the cage and played by herself.
Huo Yishen was sitting next to them and also sensed something was wrong, “Is the floor tilted?”
When did it tilt?
Is it because the ice surface is not flat, or is it because the ice layer is thickening?
The two of them went outside, looking from left to right, up and down, but still couldn’t figure out the reason.
Huo Yishen took out his phone to record the speed at which the ball rolled to the right, then went to the ice house where they planted things to take photos of the hydroponic solution.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the Russians came again to trade vegetables.
They saw a few familiar faces, but Ivanov didn’t come.
He Tianming was there and explained, “Ivanov was bitten by a crocodile on the leg, and stayed behind to recover.”
Jiang Ning nodded. “Are your eyes healed?”
He Tianming had taken anti-inflammatory medicine, and after a few days of rest, he was fine. However, there were several serious cases, either with blurred vision or blindness.
As for their fate…
Who would support a disabled person in a natural disaster?
He Tianming was very grateful that it was Jiang Ning who saved him again.
The first batch of vegetables was 80 kilograms, enough for the Russians to eat for a few meals, but forget about others.
80 kilograms of vegetables, after deducting the shared portion, the rest was exchanged for crocodile eggs.
The next batch of trade would be in five days…
