Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 247

Su Chen said that he has a way to cure smallpox, but Peng Qingqing doesn't believe it at all, because smallpox is a disease that is highly contagious. Since ancient times, it has occurred in all dynasties, but he has never heard of any miracle doctor who can completely cure the disease. Basically, he talks about it Discoloration.

Nowadays, at the end of the Five Dynasties and the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty when medical treatment was backward, the wars in various places have not yet completely ended, the level of medical care and hygiene is not high, and the control of diseases and plagues is quite weak. It is very likely that a cold and cold can kill a person. Ye, luck, fate, and even worship the gods for blessing.

Therefore, in the several dynasties before the Five Dynasties, every year of catastrophe and great change, the emperor had to lead his ministers to sacrifice to heaven and sin himself, to take the initiative to bear the punishment of heaven, pray to heaven, and declare that "all sins will be imposed on me, Don't hurt the common people, the people", to appease people's hearts.

Although Peng Qingqing knew that Su Chen had some abilities, he wrote excellent poems, he was a great talent; he also knew some medical skills, but after all he was only talented, no matter how good his medical skills were, could he be better than his imperial physician father?But the ancestors of the Su family have never heard of anyone who can cure smallpox!

"Human life is at stake. This is a big matter. Su Chen, you can't mess around this time." Peng Qingqing shook her head and became serious.

Su Chen said: "But there must be someone to treat him!"

Hearing this, Peng Qingqing saw that he was going to rescue the people suffering from smallpox, and suddenly grabbed his palm nervously and said, "I don't allow you to go, I once heard from my teacher at home that the infection speed of smallpox and the bubonic plague spread very quickly. Li Qiang, many doctors went to rescue people, but they all infected themselves and took their lives, I won’t let you go!”

Seeing Qingqing's tense expression, Su Chen was concerned about his safety, and suddenly there was warmth and tenderness in his heart.

It's just that Peng Qingqing's hands were too strong, and Su Chen gradually couldn't take it anymore.

"Ah, let go first! Your hand is like a vise, it can break people's fingers!" Su Chen broke free from his hand, shook it, and saw that there were some red marks on it.

Just now when Peng Qingqing was nervous, she became confused when she was concerned, so she naturally became more aggressive in her attack.

"I'm sorry, Su Chen, I hurt you." Peng Qingqing was a little embarrassed, she withdrew her jade hand, and wanted to pull it up to have a look again, but she was worried that Su Chen was afraid of the strength of her hand.

Su Chen couldn't bear to blame him, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I know you care about me! However, smallpox is too stubborn and difficult to treat, once it spreads from outside the city, or even spreads in Runzhou City, then this smallpox How many people will die in the city? Runzhou City and Jinling City are not far apart, and merchants are in close contact. It cannot be ruled out that smallpox has spread to Jinling City at the same time. Therefore, the spread of smallpox must be stopped, otherwise, tens of thousands of people will be killed in the south of the Yangtze River. Many people died of the plague, and the Tang Kingdom was already in dire straits facing the strong enemy in the north, and it was really unable to bear the disaster brought by this natural disaster."

Peng Qingqing couldn't help asking: "But, are you really sure about curing smallpox?"

Su Chen has never operated it himself. Although he knows the concept of vaccinia, how to get vaccinia, how to plant the human body, and then produce the immune effect requires a clinical process, and it will take a few days of preparation and testing at the fastest, so he did not Speak completely.

"I have an idea, but I still need to verify it. Qingqing, I understand your worries, but for scholars, after all, it is a feeling that cannot be erased from the heart. As a doctor, I can't just watch the people of the Tang Dynasty. , a large number of people died, ten rooms and nine empty rooms, tortured by smallpox and dying, I should do my part!"

After Peng Qingqing heard the words, she quietly looked at him with a look of admiration, and her heart was already moved.

In the face of smallpox, let alone scholars, even doctors are helpless, fearing that it will not be avoided in time, the best way for the imperial court to deal with this disease is to seal off the villages and cities, otherwise, when the source of the virus spreads, the people who are already sick can only fend for themselves No, because in ancient times there were no medical conditions to fight against plague diseases.

However, at this juncture, Su Chen talked about the righteousness of the nation, the feelings of family and country, and the vision and height of the station, which were unattainable. Peng Qingqing was originally a chivalrous person, and the most important hero in the past. Standing in front of Su Chen at this time, listening Seeing him say these words, I have long admired him in my heart.

Where there is still the demeanor of a heroine, she instantly becomes a little fan girl, a star chasing girl.

"Su Chen, you're amazing!" Peng Qingqing couldn't help but grabbed his arm, with admiring gazes, this time surprisingly she didn't use any force, but changed into a young girl's coquettish posture.

When Su Chen heard Qingqing's praise, he immediately felt proud for no reason. He also knew a lot of other righteous words, such as "everyone is mortal, and it is heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather" and so on.However, he felt that the most urgent task was not to brag and pretend to be X in front of women, but to act quickly, before the plague spread, and the most important thing was to get the preventive medicine of vaccinia implantation.

According to his memory, the best way to fight against smallpox disease is to inoculate vaccinia to produce immune resistance, so that he will not suffer from smallpox.

Vaccinia is an infectious disease that occurs in cattle. It is an acute infection caused by smallpox virus in cattle. Its symptoms are usually local ulcers at the milking part of the cow.The virus can be transmitted to humans through contact. It is more common in milk workers and slaughterhouse workers. Papules appear on the skin of patients. These papules gradually develop into blisters, pustules, and some other symptoms.

If a person is infected with the virus, he will only experience mild discomfort and develop resistance against the vaccinia virus.

Since the vaccinia virus has the same antigenic properties as the smallpox virus that causes human smallpox, people can also acquire immunity against the smallpox virus at the same time after being inoculated with vaccinia.

Between the 17th and 18th centuries, in a hundred years, the total number of Europeans who died of smallpox was about 5000 million or more, which is quite terrifying.

After Su Chen comforted Peng Qingqing, he went back to his study and began to think about how to obtain a cow with smallpox. He couldn't find it in the city, so he had to go to Lengyan Town where the plague happened, and find a cow with smallpox virus before conducting the experiment. .

It is very difficult to carry out this matter on his own, because the situation outside the city is too dangerous. He went out alone without protective measures, and he did not know that those people outside the city had been infected. Once sick, it would be difficult to cure.

After thinking twice, Su Chen decided to wait for Zhifu Peng to come back, ask him about the specific situation in Lengyan Town, and then propose a plan to treat smallpox, and ask Zhifu Peng to cooperate and send someone to find the sick cow, so that he doesn't have to chase the sick cow himself. Go to that dangerous place in Lengyan Town.

"If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, righteousness comes to the fore, but he can't be really careless!" Su Chen still cherished his life, and would never act recklessly. He really sacrificed his own life to save the common people.
