After hearing what the man said, the other two turned around and looked. They were indeed amazed. The man in the middle looked at the quadruplets, then glanced at the profile of the woman next to them, and couldn't help frowning.

Have you seen that woman somewhere before?

He doesn't seem to recognize the woman who is married and has quadruplets!

Maybe it was an illusion! He shook his head, turned his eyes away and continued walking forward.

At this time, Lin Yue already understood why Cheng Yi held her back.

"So you are nearsighted!"

Lin Yue stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. He immediately squinted his eyes and came closer to carefully identify it, which made Lin Yue laugh.

"Looks like he's extremely nearsighted! No wonder he could recognize me by smell!"

"Myopia?"

Cheng Yi pondered the meaning of these words and felt that they were quite vivid. He could only see things that were close to him, but not things that were far away. Therefore, he often fell and got bruised when he walked, and he also made many jokes.

The four men didn't think it was funny at all when they saw Yi squinting his eyes. They just thought that he was a little crazy. He was getting so close to his mother, almost putting his face in front of her!

Dalang couldn't help but push him.

"Hey! Stay away from my mother. Don't you know that it's forbidden for men and women to touch each other?"

Cheng Yi squatted down and leaned closer to Da Lang. He was startled to see three similar little heads in a row. He thought he was seeing things! One of them didn't pay attention and stepped back, squatting on the ground. The four Langs couldn't help laughing.

"Mother, is he really nearsighted?"

"Mom, what is myopia? Does it mean you can't see things close to you clearly?"

Sanlang and Shilang thought that there might be something wrong with his eyes, otherwise why would he always squint when looking at people?

Lin Yue explained to them, "Myopia is because we can't see things far away clearly, but we can see things close by clearly, so it's called nearsightedness."

Erlang was amazed by what he heard and immediately drew inferences, "Then is there also farsightedness?"

"Yeah, Erlang is awesome! He's learned to draw inferences from one example! If there's nearsightedness, there's certainly farsightedness."

There are few people with myopia in this era, so many people only know that it is an eye disease and do not know the difference between myopia and hyperopia.

Cheng Yi was excited when he heard this. It turned out to be just as he guessed. The person who had told him about Gastrodia elata must know medicine. As a traveling doctor, he often met different patients and made friends with different doctors. Of course, although he often ran into obstacles, he was thick-skinned enough.

You have to know that ancient doctors were not willing to share their hard work with others! Generally, they would only share secret recipes passed down from generation to generation, which they would not easily tell others.

"Thank you for your guidance, young lady. I have finally simplified the recipe. Young lady, I am nearsighted. Is there any way to cure it?"

"Aren't you a doctor yourself? You can't even cure yourself, and you still ask my mother?"

Dalang thought this itinerant doctor was just a charlatan. He couldn't even cure himself, and yet his mother still said he was a good doctor!

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yi didn't care at all and was very humble.

"Young Master is right. Doctors cannot cure themselves. Moreover, my own medical skills are very limited. I have traveled extensively for decades. Although I have not learned much, I have gained a lot of experience. I would very much like to discuss medical prescriptions with you. I hope you will not be disgusted."

"Oh, you doctor! No, no, my mother can't discuss this with you."

Dalang looked disgusted and felt more and more that this traveling doctor was not a good person.

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Doctor Cheng, if there is time, I would be happy to discuss this with you. However, it is not convenient right now. We need to catch the ox cart back to the village. I will take my leave now! See you later."

Cheng Yi was a little surprised. He didn't remember telling the other person his last name! How come the other person knew his last name?

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yue had already left with the four men. Fortunately, they didn't go far, so he quickly caught up with them.

"My dear lady! My dear lady! I'm a traveling doctor, I can go anywhere! If all else fails, can I stay at your house? I'll pay you! This eye disease has plagued me for many years. I often make fools of myself because of my blurred vision, and I've also been injured. If you have a cure, I'm willing to pay a high price!"

Huh? It seems Cheng Yi is quite wealthy, but rather dull-witted. Dalang is annoyed, but Sanlang is extremely interested in him.

"Are you rich? But there's no man in my family! Would it be inconvenient for you to live in my house?"

Cheng Yi was not surprised, but smiled generously.

"You have four men in your family! How could it be inconvenient? By the way, does anyone want to study medicine? I can teach you for free, as long as your mother can cure my eyes."

After hearing this, the four men suddenly felt that they were also grown men who could protect their mothers!

Erlang's tone of voice also softened.

"Why do you think my mother can definitely cure your eyes?"

At this point, Cheng Yi was a little proud. "I have traveled around and met many different people. Naturally, I can tell whether your mother is telling the truth or not."

Cheng Yi's suggestion gave Lin Yue an idea. He had traveled a lot, and whether it was the scenery he had seen or the patients he had treated, he definitely knew more than the doctors who were sitting in one place. Moreover, when she came here, she was very lacking in knowledge in this area. If the four men were willing, she would be willing to let him stay at home for a while.

As for his eye disease, that is naturally not a problem.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue quietly asked the four men.

"Are you willing to learn from this Doctor Cheng? If so, Mother can examine him. It would be a great idea to have him be your first teacher."

Dalang was very surprised!

"Mother, aren't you being too hasty? We just met this person, and you trust him? What if he's a bad guy?"

Lin Yue was very happy that Dalang was so vigilant.

"Mother is very happy that Dalang is so alert. However, according to my initial observation, he is not a bad person! That's why I asked you quietly and I need to observe him for a while. Also, look at his age. Even if I bring him back to the village, the villagers probably won't say anything gossipy."

Cheng Yi looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a very weathered look and a mustache. When he stood with the four men, they looked like a pair of grandfather and grandson, and there was no sense of incongruity at all!

Although he is a little silly, he is very rigorous in his approach to medicine, obsessed with practicing medicine, smooth in his words and deeds without being pedantic, and thick-skinned enough. In all aspects, he is very suitable to be the children's enlightenment teacher.

If Cheng Yi knew that Lin Yue had considered him an old man, he would probably feel sick to his stomach. He was still very young, but he had been traveling all year round, so he was bound to look older.
