Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 246 The New Crisis

Peng Zeliang came to Su's mansion to visit his daughter. Qingqing, who was still jumping around in the house a moment ago, was radiant. When she heard her father's voice in the yard, she threw herself on the bed the next moment, pretending to be sick. A wan attitude.

Such a scene made the personal maid and the mother-in-law dumbfounded, but there was nothing they could do.

Although they want to listen to the words of the prefect, they don't dare to betray the master for glory and offend the eldest lady they serve.Therefore, I could only pretend not to see it, and even helped to conceal it.

"Qingqing, my father came to see you." Peng Zeliang greeted his precious daughter after entering the door

Peng Qingqing said weakly: "Father, why did you come here? If you come a few days late, Qingqing will..."

"Cough cough!" Su Chen coughed dryly behind him twice, as if to remind Peng Qingqing: Your acting skills are poor, so don't give yourself extra performances, otherwise it will be easier to reveal your secrets.

"What's the matter?" Peng Zeliang was concerned, he walked to the side of the bed and asked worriedly.

"I just can't sleep well, and I can't eat well." Peng Qingqing turned back the serious words, speaking in a non-painful way.

Only then did Peng Zeliang heave a sigh of relief, and with a chuckle, seeing his beloved daughter acting like a baby to him, the father softened his heart, reached out and stroked her hair, and said kindly, "How is your recuperation? It's over now that you're recuperating here." In half a month, it's time to move back home."

"Oh...my daughter feels that I still feel a little uncomfortable. If I ask Su Chen to take a pulse and prescribe a prescription at any time here, it will be very inconvenient after I go back to live..." Peng Qingqing stroked her temple with a jade hand, looking very weak.

"It's okay, let him go there every two days, just to follow up with you. Your injury was caused to save him. He won't even pay for this trouble and hard work?" Peng Zeliang raised his head and glared at Su Chen, meaning Obviously, let him take a stand.

But at this time, Peng Qingqing blocked her side face with one hand, and kept giving him winks with the other eye, telling him to reject his father and keep her.

Su Chen was stunned, hesitating, which side should he stand in when the gods fight?

Zhifu Peng has just accepted himself, if he offends him immediately, it seems to leave a bad impression on the elders.

But if you don't help Qingqing, it's troublesome to be blamed by her afterwards.

Just after he was in a dilemma, suddenly there was the sound of hurried running in the yard, and a policeman rushed into the yard in a panic, shouting: "Master Zhifu, Lord Zhifu...it's not good, something serious happened!" ..."

Peng Zeliang got up when he heard the words, his face was not happy, why would he be so panicked, what big event can happen in Runzhou City?

Could it be that the Song army attacked the ferry and forcibly sent troops to the south?

He came to the door of the main room, saw the policeman named Zheng Xiu, his face turned cold, and he asked: "What happened, what's wrong with being so panicked?"

Zheng Xiu clasped his fists and said: "Go back to the magistrate, in Lengyan Town, [-] miles south of the city, suddenly many people died of illnesses, the symptoms were similar, Youli Zheng sent someone to come over and report, those dead had chicken pox, the local doctor speculated , like a smallpox plague happened."

"Smallpox!" Peng Zeliang's face changed. If this kind of plague and disease were to rage, it would be nothing but nothing to cure.

In addition to the high degree of infection, the main reason is the high mortality rate. It is necessary to isolate the contacts as soon as possible and dispose of the corpses to prevent the smallpox virus from entering Runzhou City.

"Hurry up, go back to the yamen, mobilize all the arresting yamen servants, and follow me to Lengyan Town; in addition, block the news and not make it public, so as not to cause panic."

Peng Zeliang realized the urgency of the matter, Jiu Jin was awakened, he immediately ordered, rushed out the door, got into the carriage, and went back to the Yamen to prepare for mobilization.

Su Chen's heart trembled when he heard the word smallpox. This is one of the oldest infectious diseases with the highest mortality rate. It is highly contagious and seriously ill. Anyone who has never suffered from smallpox or has not been vaccinated against smallpox can be infected. , mainly manifested as severe viremia and high mortality after infection.

The clinical manifestations of smallpox are severe and mild. The fatality rate of severe smallpox is about [-]/[-]. Nearly half of the cases have confluent rashes, and most of them will have hemorrhage. The fatality rate of mild smallpox is very low, only [-]%.

The smallpox virus is a type of pox virus. After being infected, there is no specific medicine to cure it. The patient will have pockmarks on his face after healed, hence the name "smallpox".

In history, the period when smallpox ravaged the most was during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Because history was in the fifth Little Ice Age and the climate was abnormal, the virus would break out due to abnormal weather. Smallpox caused a large number of deaths in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. , Even had a serious impact on the governance of the early Qing Dynasty.According to the "Secrets of the Qing Palace Archives", among the ten emperors after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Shunzhi and Tongzhi died of smallpox directly.

The rulers of the early Qing Dynasty were plagued by smallpox. Nurhachi's second son, Prince Li Daishan, had three sons who died of smallpox.For the Manchus at the beginning of entering the customs, smallpox was almost a terminal illness.At that time, Manchu people feared pox like a tiger, and when it was popular, they could only dodge it passively, but smallpox was hard to prevent, and most of those who passively avoided were still not spared.The epidemic of smallpox caused the death rate of the Eight Banners in the early Qing Dynasty to be astonishingly high.

However, Su Chen was born into a medical family. His grandfather is an old Chinese doctor, and his parents are clinical western doctors. He also studied medicine for five years as an undergraduate, but when he was in graduate school, he secretly changed his major and changed his major to the Department of Chinese. I know, and I have learned in medical books, that the most basic, effective and easiest way to prevent smallpox is to vaccinate against smallpox.

"Su Chen, my dad just said that the smallpox disease appeared outside the city?" Peng Qingqing also heard the conversation just now, so she stopped pretending to be sick and got out of bed and came to Su Chen's side, asking nervously.

Su Chen nodded slightly: "It's a big matter for the police to report like this, so it shouldn't be wrong."

"Then what should we do? I heard that smallpox and the Black Death are two of the most evil plagues. They spread from outside the city to the city. It won't take long. Maybe there are people outside the city who don't know that they are sick. Entered the city and spread the word, what should I do?" Peng Qingqing's face turned pale, and she knew she was afraid.

After all, this kind of disease has nothing to do with the strength of martial arts. She is also a little afraid of killing people invisible.

Su Chen's face was serious, and he was thinking about how to inoculate the cowpox in his mind. He looked at Peng Qingqing firmly and said, "It's okay, I'm here, right?"

"You?" Peng Qingqing was stunned, listening to him, is there a way?

However, for thousands of years, no one can cure smallpox, Hua Tuo is alive, Bian Que is resurrected, there is no solution, can Su Chen do it?

"At the moment of crisis, are you kidding me?" Peng Qingqing questioned.

Su Chen said helplessly: "Look at my expression, does it seem like I'm joking? I'm serious, okay?"
