Chapter 252

Su Chen temporarily lived in a room in the side courtyard of the magistrate's yamen. It was usually the office of the yamen servants on duty, but now it was his isolation room.

In order not to worry his family members, Su Chen sent his servant back to spread the word, saying that he was going to save people in the Yamen, he was worried that the plague would spread everywhere and it would be unsafe to walk around, so he would not go home for a few days.

In addition, according to Su Chen's knowledge of the vaccinia vaccine, antibodies can completely appear in the body ten to fourteen days after inoculation, while the incubation period for smallpox is [-] to [-] days. Normally, the next day after contact with a smallpox patient, vaccinia , basically not infected with smallpox.

If you are inoculated with vaccinia within three to seven days of contact with the source of infection, generally there will be no outbreak; if you inoculate vaccinia within eight to ten days of infection, the symptoms of smallpox can be alleviated, but after ten days, it will be ineffective to use vaccinia against smallpox .

Therefore, after Su Chen used the vaccinia herpes toxin by himself and a few policemen, he also ordered someone to send herpes venom to Peng Zeliang and the few policemen who were infected with smallpox, so that they were also injected with vaccinia in a similar way. .

According to Su Chen's estimate, Peng Zeliang and the others should have been infected for six or seven days, and they might be able to be immune. No matter how bad it is, at least they can alleviate the symptoms and prevent them from dying.

In this way, what I promised to Qingqing can be regarded as done, and it can save the life of Peng Zhifu.

About three days after the vaccinia was implanted, Su Chen had a low-grade fever, and red pimples appeared on parts of his body. About five days later, the pimples turned into herpes. The police who followed the experiment all exclaimed and became scared in the room.

Su Chen shouted to the other rooms: "Don't be nervous, react normally, just persevere, nothing will happen, everyone please trust Su!"

His shout stopped the commotion, but the clerks, prison guards, and head catchers who were watching in the yard were all worried.

No one knew if Su Chen and the others had smallpox, would it get better?

"Young master Su risked himself, it's admirable!"

"That's right, to test poison with one's own body, this is the spirit of the ancient Shennong who tasted a hundred herbs!"

Everyone sighed, and felt admiration for Su Chen's charitable practice of medicine.

However, Su Chen stayed here for many days, and he couldn't hide it from his family anymore.

On the sixth day, the four daughters Bai Susu, Peng Qingqing, Liu Mo Nong, and Ling'er got out of the carriage. Everyone wore masks and came outside the yamen, claiming to see Su Chen.

Peng Qingqing asked directly: "Where is Su Chen? And where is my father?"

Lu Jin was surprised and said: "Miss, Miss, you, why are you here?"

"If I don't come again, I don't know how long you will keep Su Chen locked up! He came to the Yamen and my father with good intentions to treat illnesses, but you detain him here and leave him to fend for himself. You are so cruel!" Peng Qingqing scolded angrily. .

Lu Jin explained with a bitter face: "Oh, miss, this is wronged by Lu. It was Su Chen who... stayed here voluntarily. He deliberately contracted smallpox himself. In order not to infect other people, he asked to stay in the hospital for a while. Self-quarantine in the yamen class, waiting for the cow and cowpox to take effect."

Bai Susu also heard Su Chen mention this matter, so I guess this matter may be true as Lu Jin said, Su Chen stayed voluntarily, and it was his own idea to contract smallpox.

"Qingqing, don't worry for now, let's go in and have a look."

Seeing that they wanted to go in, Lu Jin wondered: "Miss, Miss Bai, the prefect has told you not to let you in, and Mr. Su also said that he will not meet any acquaintances until he comes out by himself."

"Even I haven't seen him, I think his surname Su deserves a beating!" Miss Peng became angry, and really wanted to rush into the yamen and beat someone up.

Bai Susu pulled her back and said: "Don't be impulsive, since Su Chen and the magistrate said so, we don't want to force our way."

"But, you can't just watch him fall ill and wait to die inside!" Peng Qingqing felt a little angry, thinking that Su Chen's actions were too reckless.

Her father was infected with smallpox, there was no other way, he was infected by accident; but Su Chen was different, he contracted it on purpose, which made people angry.

"He promised me that he wouldn't take any risks or have any accidents. Why did he get smallpox by himself..." Peng Qingqing said, her eyes were moist and she was already crying.

Liu Mo Nong and Ling'er stood beside them, watching Peng Qingqing cry, their noses were sore, and they also wanted to cry.

Only Bai Susu was calmer in the arena. Although he was also worried about Su Chen's safety, they would not be able to help them if they went in. Instead, they would add chaos and risk infection.Therefore, she chose to believe in Su Chen, because he said that there was a way to prevent smallpox, even though she didn't know if it would be successful, Bai Susu was still willing to trust him.

Just like Su Chen's laparotomy operation and making blue and white porcelain, miracles will always be created.

Hoping that a miracle will still happen this time, Bai Susu persuaded: "We should obey Su Chen's arrangement and choose to trust him!"

Peng Qingqing turned her head to stare at her, shook her head and said: "No, my father is inside, Su Chen is inside, and the people I care about the most have all got smallpox inside, if something happens to them, I won't be able to survive at all! No, I want to go in and accompany them, we will live and die together, you go back!"

After saying that, Peng Qingqing rushed inside, Bai Susu stretched out her hand to pull, but she didn't.

Lu Jin and the other arresters stretched out their hands to block, but Peng Qingqing's strength was so high that even though he was injured, he had already recovered by half, so he started to lighten his body, jumped over everyone's heads, and entered the yamen courtyard neatly.

"Su Chen? Where are you?" Peng Qingqing yelled towards the inner room.

"Qingqing?" Peng Zhifu heard his daughter's voice in the room, he was very surprised, and shouted to ask.

Hearing his father's voice, Peng Qingqing quickly walked a few steps closer and said, "Daddy, you are here, how do you feel?"

Zhifu Peng replied in the room: "Thanks to Su Chen's treatment, I feel better and my symptoms have become lighter. By the way, why are you here? Go back quickly, it's too dangerous here."

Hearing that her father's condition had improved, Peng Qingqing felt a little relieved, and said, "That's good, Dad, just stay inside and wait until you recover. I'll go find Su Chen!"

After finishing speaking, Peng Qingqing continued to rush towards the side yard, regardless of her father's shouts of comfort.

Lu Jin and the other officers were guarding the gate, but now they rushed into the yard, showing a look of embarrassment, because there were already many cases of smallpox in the yamen, and even the air, spittle, and bowls smelled of plague, and they didn't care. Dare to come in.

Therefore, after rushing into the courtyard for dozens of steps, they all stopped and looked at each other, showing worry and fear

The clerk Wang Qian shouted from behind: "Don't worry about it, come out!"

Since they couldn't stop the eldest lady, there was no point rushing in to find someone, so let her go.

Bai Susu, Liu Mo Nong, Yang Ling'er and others stood outside the door and looked at each other, all showing expressions of horror, Peng Qingqing was going to die.

"I'll go in too." Yang Linger said.

"No, Linger, you can't go! Qingqing is enough to add to the chaos, if you go in again, it will make it even more difficult for your brother!" Bai Susu stopped immediately.

Yang Ling'er pursed her lips, but reluctantly agreed.

At this time, Peng Qingqing had already found the room where Su Chen was, and broke in directly. Su Chen in the room turned pale with shock: "Qingqing, why are you here?"

"I'll accompany you!" Peng Qingqing replied.

Su Chen's expression changed, and he shouted: "Nonsense, I have smallpox!"

"I'll be with you!" Peng Qingqing rushed over, embraced him with both arms, and moved her vermilion lips together, directly sealing Su Chen's mouth.
