Chapter 39: Smallpox
When Bai Lu came back, he had already carried a lot of medicinal materials in his hand, and he had also bought a few medical books. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Yi saw off the last guest of the day, it was already dark, and the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier.
Chef Zhang packed the unburned wood in the stove with a small urn, sealed it, and consumed the oxygen in it, which would turn into carbon, so that they could also save a lot of carbon money, Chu Ju had already served out tonight's dinner, and when everyone was full, Bai Lu said the news he heard today with a heavy face.
Wu Yi had known it for a long time, so he was not surprised.
Chu Ju was surprised and choked, but she had heard that this disease would kill people.
Chef Zhang slammed on the table before he spoke, "I had it when I was a child. ”
"Really?" Chu Ju looked incredulous.
Bai Lu believes that some people are in good health, and it is possible to survive it.
"Hmm. The whole family got it, and I was the only one who survived. Chef Zhang's tone was calm, as if it was as simple as drinking porridge in the morning.
Bai Lu knew the pain in this, but Chef Zhang had it, and the chance of being infected in the future was much smaller.
"It's still the town next door, we don't know if there is, and we need to take more precautions." Wu Yi said.
"And it's better to keep a couple of kids out of the way."
Bai Lu nodded, it seemed that she was going to take care of a few more children.
A few days later, Wu Yi went out to inquire about the news and came back, patted the snow that drifted on his body, and asked Bai Lu to close the shop quickly.
"What's wrong? It won't be ...... in our town either."
"Hmm. Hurry up, I heard that five or six people have been found. ”
Bai Lu snorted, hung a wooden sign outside, and closed the door.
The people didn't know about the current situation, but the gossip spread quickly, and after a few days, the whole town knew that someone had contracted smallpox.
There are basically no people on the streets, and the vendors who sell things don't come out to set up stalls, and every street is depressed.
Bai Lu was afraid that a few children would be bored, so he asked Wu Yi to draw on a thin piece of wood, and after cutting it into small pieces with scissors, the simple puzzle was completed.
Chu Ju couldn't be idle, so she pulled a few pieces of cloth and started to make clothes, her stitches were very dense, and the appearance she made was also very good, so Bai Lu asked her to help make a few clothes for a few children.
Time passed unhurriedly, and now the person who went out to inquire about the news was replaced by Chef Zhang.
Chef Zhang has an easy-going personality, smiles at everyone, and is easy to make people take precautions, and after chatting a few words, he said everything he knew.
"Brother, don't you know, there are fewer people who dare to come out now, and they are all afraid to death." The person who spoke looked like he was familiar with himself, and put his hand on Chef Zhang's shoulder, very enthusiastic.
Chef Zhang smiled and became a loyal audience.
This action immediately raised the speaker's interest, and he patted Chef Zhang's shoulder and said, "I heard that a lot of people have died in the past few days, and they are all children!" "Children are weaker than adults, and the first to be infected must be the first children.
"Is there a doctor?" Chef Zhang asked.
The person who spoke waved his hand and smiled contemptuously, "Those doctors who usually think they are superior to others can only become shrinking turtles when they really encounter something, and they don't dare to look at it!" ”
Chef Zhang nodded, this is also normal, after all, people cherish their lives, if they are kind for a while, put themselves in, then they will not taste loss.
After chatting casually, Chef Zhang went back.
Bai Lu was taking Chu Ju and a few children to clean up, and some of the dishes and chopsticks used by her family were also boiled with hot water.
"Why does it smell so much vinegar?"
Chu Ju was sweeping the dust with a feather duster, and said without looking back, "What bacteria can vinegar prevent?" Anyway, it's good for the human body. ”
She didn't quite understand what Bai Lu had just explained to her, but it was better to understand.
"Then I don't have to knock over my kitchen like a jar of vinegar!" Chef Zhang couldn't cry or laugh.
Chu Ju turned around and smiled embarrassedly, in fact, she felt that Chef Zhang had been staying in the kitchen and was safe, but she didn't expect to be too much if she didn't control it well.
Bai Lu also took a few children to sprinkle diluted vinegar on each room at this moment, Bai Zhi liked this kind of work the most, and took a small dry branch in her little hand and shook her head vigorously in the room.
There are still words in the mouth that the bacteria are gone, and the bacteria are gone.
The ghost knows what the bacteria she said she was talking about, probably learned from eavesdropping on Bai Lu's conversation with Hatsuju.
Bai Lu asked Chef Zhang to boil some medicinal tea that can prevent diseases every day, put it in a teacup, and let everyone drink a few cups.
"White girl, I'm afraid I can't control this smallpox! I heard that several more died today. ”
"Alas...... Human life is too fragile, if only we had a vaccine! ”
Chef Zhang was a little surprised, what is a vaccine?
Only then did Bai Lu remember that this was an empty dynasty, and it was strange to have such a thing as a vaccine.
Maybe she could try......
Bai Lu shook her head, not to mention her medical skills, who would believe such a bizarre method.
"Sister, Sister Hua next door has a lot of acne on her face, and she was locked up by her father!" Bai Su didn't know when he ran to Bai Lu's side, tugged at the corner of her clothes and said.
"What? Xiao Su, have you ever touched it!! Bai Lu panicked, when did Bai Su sneak out!
"No, no, sister, I'll listen to her aunt in the yard."
Bai Lu relaxed at this time, she was really scared to death just now.
However, she was still not at ease, and repeated to Bai Su several times that she couldn't run out, and Wu Yi on the side was impatient to listen, so she let Bai Su go.
"Don't be too nervous." Wu Yi said.
Bai Su and Bai Zhi are also the daughters of his eldest brother, but it's a pity that they haven't met a few times, so they didn't recognize Wu Yi, but Wu Yi's love for them has increased unabated.
"Hmm. I'm just worried about ......," Bai Lu said with a frown.
"I'm going to go back and look through the medical books to see if there's any cure."
Bai Lu muttered to herself.
Flipping through the medical book, Bai Lu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, she remembered that Xuan Ye, that is, Emperor Kangxi, also had smallpox, and after he succeeded to the throne, he studied the pox method!
The so-called pox method is to remove the pox scab of smallpox patients and grind them into fine powder, add borneol and camphor to blow into the pox, and the pox method makes the pox patients slightly infected with smallpox, and then smallpox, and then carefully cared for by traditional Chinese medicine, so that they can safely pass through the smallpox period, and the pox patients will have immunity to smallpox.
Bai Lu knew the method, but she still didn't dare to try a few children easily, this method was useless for her.
She wrote down the steps, put them in the envelope, and thought about the best in the hands of Dr. Chen of Jishitang, who had to be delivered.
Dr. Chen is over 80 years old this year, and in a place where the average life expectancy is only 50 years old, he is close to the existence of a saint.
If he is a good doctor who helps the world and saves people, then he will definitely try his best to spread this method when he sees it.
Secretly called Chef Zhang, handed him the envelope, and whispered a few words in his ear, Chef Zhang nodded clearly and went out.
