I am the only fairy in the world

Chapter 116 115. The Spread of the Epidemic
"Oh?"

Su Mu asked with concern: "Lord Yuezhang, what is the current situation of the maid infected with the plague?"

The truth is: this matter, he has no choice but to pay attention to it.

If the plague is allowed to spread, everyone in Prince Ning's mansion will suffer, including this father-in-law, and even him and Li Mingyue are at risk of infection.

"My son-in-law, don't worry!"

King Ning calmly stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is all thanks to the son-in-law's [Qiong Yelu], just one drop cured the girl, the festering skin recovered as new, and the fever symptoms also subsided, and she became more and more beautiful again. Live like a dragon and a tiger..."

"One drop? Cured..."

Su Mu frowned, and suddenly asked vigilantly, "Lord Yue Zhang, where is that maid at the moment?"

He seriously suspected that the maidservant's plague was not completely cured.

In essence, 【Qiongye Yulu】has only one function, that is: to provide strong vitality.

Although [Qiongye Yulu] has good effects on 'internal injuries', 'toxins', 'germs and viruses', the effective mechanism is completely different.

For external injuries and internal injuries, [Qiongye Yulu] directly replenishes vitality, and the effect is naturally the best;
In the face of toxins, the effective principle of [Qiongye Yulu] is: to repair poisoned organs and tissues, and assist the body system to detoxify;

In the face of germs and viruses, the mode of action of [Qiongye Yulu] is: to provide vitality to the body system, act as a nanny, and repeatedly see-saw with germs and viruses until antibodies are produced.

It can be said: Among these three situations, [Qiongye Yulu] is the most indirect way of taking effect against viruses and germs, and the utilization rate is the lowest.

This means: the servant girl infected with the plague, after taking [Qiongye Yulu], may appear: for a while, the strong vitality provided by [Qiongye Yulu] suppresses the germs, making the person appear to be cured; In fact, it hasn't improved completely.

If the vitality provided by [Qiongye Yulu] is exhausted, the body system has not yet produced specific antibodies against the 'germs', and will be pushed back by the germs, resulting in repeated illnesses.

"The maid? She's cured, so she's going to work normally."

King Ning noticed that Su Mu's expression was wrong, and immediately realized that something was wrong: "My son-in-law, what's wrong? What's wrong with this?"

"It's too late to explain. Mr. Yue Zhang, please send someone quickly to isolate that maidservant!"

Su Mu said solemnly.

"Come on!"

During the three and four months of getting along, King Ning believed in Su Mu, and without hesitation, he immediately called someone to follow Su Mu's instructions.

It's a coincidence.

At this moment, a steward in a brocade robe hurried over, with an anxious look on his face.

"My lord, something is wrong."

The housekeeper reported: "The maid named 'Autumn Rain' has relapsed... and there are other maids and servants with the same symptoms: fever, skin ulcers, obviously suffering from the plague... So far there have been three cases. !"

"What's going on? The mansion has sufficient supplies. Didn't I tell the people below not to leave the mansion? How could there be so many patients?"

King Ning asked with an ugly face.

"Go back to the prince,"

The housekeeper opened his mouth cautiously: "According to the investigation: these infected people have never left the house, and the only thing they have in common is: they have all been in contact with that infected maid..."

"She wasn't cured?!"

King Ning twitched his eyebrows, startled.

"Ugh!"

Su Mu sighed suddenly, knowing that the worst situation still happened.

It's not that: [Qiongye Yulu], this plague cannot be cured, but: a drop of [Qiongyeyulu] may not be enough.

Everyone's physique is different.

For some people, maybe a drop of [Qiongye Yulu] is enough to make the body produce antibodies;

And some people, if they are suffering from the epidemic, if they want to be cured, they must take one or two more drops of [Qiongye Yulu] to provide sufficient vitality... In this way, the body can repeatedly seesaw with the germs until the body produces antibodies.

This has two operations.

Or, refueling tactics, after taking a drop of [Qiongye Yulu], check the condition, and take another drop after recurrence, until it is completely improved;

Or, one step is in place, take a few more drops of [Qiongye Yulu] to supplement the excess vitality and stimulate the body system to quickly produce antibodies, which is also okay.

Of course, even if antibodies are produced, it does not mean that it is completely safe.

Because: This person may still carry 'germs' on his body, which is fine for himself, but it can become a 'pathogen' that infects other people.

Thinking about it worse, if the 'germ' that caused the plague mutated, even if the same person is cured and antibodies are produced in his body, he may still be infected again.

Obviously, Prince Ning's Mansion 'won the first prize' this time: either, the maid was not completely cured; secondary cross-infection.

In comparison, the former is fine, but if the latter... that would be called trouble.

"Is that so?"

After all, King Ning calmed down after a brief period of loss of consciousness after experiencing the wind and rain, and gave orders: "All those who have symptoms, one counts as one, and all are quarantined... Also, the maid who has been in contact with it, even if no symptoms have been found yet. , also isolated..."

"Also: the inner house is sealed off, except for one or two people who are absolutely safe, they can enter and serve. Others have to be allowed, and all are not allowed to enter..."

He was very clear and ordered one by one.

"Hey!"

The butler silently remembered that after King Ning finished his orders, he agreed and hurried down to deal with the matter.

Wait for this person to leave.

King Ning turned his head to look at Su Mu, and then asked worriedly: "Son-in-law, is this plague really so fierce? Even your [Qiongye Yulu] can't cure it?"

"It's not."

Su Mu thought for a while, and explained the principle of [Qingjiang Yulu] in simple terms that people in this world can understand.

"It's like this?!"

Hearing this, King Ning felt his eyes widened. Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and asked with a strange expression: "My son-in-law, according to your words: the maid's illness has not been cured, but I used [Qiongjiang Yulu] to treat her." The reason?"

"This...you can also say that."

Su Mu smiled, and immediately shook his head and said: "Of course, even if you use a lot of [Qiong Yelu Yulu], the maid should infect others, but she can still infect them; the person she should infect, she can still infect them."

"The only change is: that maid named 'Liu'er', there is a certain possibility that she is fine."

Speaking of it.

Su Mu sorted out his thoughts and said, "My lord Yuezhang, I have something to ask. I would like to ask the infected people in your mansion to cooperate with me in taking a test..."

"Naturally."

King Ning clapped his hands and called a supervisor directly.

"My son-in-law, feel free to do whatever you want. If you have any ideas, you can order Yao Guan to do anything. He will cooperate..."

When he said this, his tone paused: "Although those servants are infected with the plague, they are close to death, but if possible, son-in-law, you should try to keep them safe."

Yes, in this era, 'human rights awareness' is so weak.

Especially: the servants of the rich family, the "deed of sale" in the hands of the master, is considered a kind of property like a "beast". Even if you are unhappy, killing him will only pay a fine Silver will do.

From the previous words, it can be seen that even King Ning doesn't care much about the life and death of these servants.

Even, his kind is considered good, and he specifically explained that it is best not to hurt his life.

——If there are other big households in the city, I am afraid that they will not confess even if they confess. Ingratiate yourself.

"Master Yuezhang is worrying too much."

Su Mu waved his hand: "The test I did is not harmful to those people, but beneficial."

talking.

With a flash of gold in his palm, he took out a bottle of [Qingye Yulu], a basket of 'fruits', and a stack of 'masks'.

First, the function of one side of the 'mask' was introduced, so that the test takers should pay attention to wearing it.

Immediately.

Su Mucai said: "Guard Yao, wait a moment, you isolate those patients separately, leaving one person to hang his life with the 'spiritual fruit'. Then, use the 'refueling tactic' to let the other patients take [Qiongjiang Yulu]. It works like this..."

"Pay attention to the records, the amount of [Qiongye Yulu] needed to cure them... After they are cured, let other cured people contact the infected person left behind in an unprotected state..."

That's right!

Su Mu did this precisely to test whether the 'germs' of this plague would mutate.

The order is over.

Su Mu waved his hand and told Guanshi Yao to take the test, and immediately said to King Ning: "Master Yuezhang, excuse me. For this test, I'm afraid I have to stay at the mansion for a day or two..."

"What's the trouble? A family doesn't speak two languages."

King Ning waved his hand: "Furthermore, to be honest: my son-in-law, I feel more at ease with you here... I can't ask for more!"

At this time.

With a thought, Su Mu used the 'marriage jade pendant' to transform into two 'messaging magpies', and sent messages to the three daughters Luo Mi, Xia Yu, and Xia He in his home, telling them about his stay here, and telling them not to come out. home.

"It's amazing."

King Ning admired Su Mu's method, and immediately couldn't help being puzzled, and asked: "My son-in-law, the test you just mentioned, at the end, seems to be to let the cured person be deliberately infected again? "

"Yes and no."

Su Mu said frankly: "Those who are cured may not be re-infected. Even if they are re-infected, in the end, I will cure them with [Qingye Yulu]."

"What I'm doing is just looking for an answer: to see if those infected and cured by the plague will be re-infected."

"If not, it's easy to say, this plague is easy to contain; if so..."

When Su Mu said this, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

"How about it?"

King Ning asked.

"Then... this plague, I'm afraid..."

Su Mu smiled wryly, and said word by word: "There is no possibility of extinction forever."

"hiss!"

When King Ning heard this, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still so shocked that he gasped.

"Of course, the possibility of the latter situation is very small..."

Su Mu said in relief.

What he didn't say is: if that possibility really appears, the human beings in this world may experience a mass extinction.

After all, the earth's science and technology are so advanced that they are tossed to death in the face of the constantly mutating 'virus', let alone this era?
"My son-in-law, bring it quickly!"

King Ning came back to his senses, and suddenly stretched out his hand.

"what?"

"This 'mask' you are wearing!"

King Ning said as a matter of course: "I want to live a few more years, waiting for you and Mingyue... hold a grandson!"

"My lord Yuezhang, if it's you... really don't need it."

Su Mu laughed and said: "No matter what kind of situation this plague is, 【Qiongye Yulu】can be cured. It's amazing. The more you get sick, the more times you treat it."

"My [Qiongye Yulu] may not be able to scale it up to a city or a country, but if it is only a hundred and 80 people, it is still easy."

"Furthermore, if it is the former one, if you really get sick once, and your body has antibodies, you won't get sick again... I also plan to ask you to follow those people, deliberately get infected once, and have a 'vaccination'! "

Su Mu said so.

Of course, after all, he still took out a stack of 'masks' and gave them to King Ning.

"Good son-in-law."

No matter what Su Mu said, King Ning accepted the 'mask' happily, and asked casually: "If you are infected once, you won't sigh repeatedly. Is there such a strange disease in the world?"

"Naturally there is."

Su Mu smiled and said: "Chickenpox, measles, smallpox, pink eye... Many diseases, when people get it once, the body will produce antibodies, and they will not get it again."

"That's it!"

King Ning is naturally smart, and after a little thought, he drew inferences: "My son-in-law, if the 'antibody' theory is what you said, the plague will be infected repeatedly, which means that it will grow by itself, become smarter, and become more It's becoming more and more difficult to deal with...is this the reason?"

"Yes."

Su Mu nodded.

……

Ning Wangfu.

The 'servant room' in the outer courtyard.

Three maids and one servant were isolated together.

One of the servant girls and a servant had a high fever and fell into a coma and lost consciousness. Only the other two servant girls had mild symptoms and remained conscious.

"Qiu Yu, are we going to die?"

A servant girl asked weakly.

"No... the palace will save us... I was sick before, and I got a drop of [Qingye Yulu]... The prince will not ignore us..."

The maid called 'Autumn Rain' cheered her up: "Chuncao, hold on..."

……

Having said that, the two servant girls, Chuncao and Qiuyu, knew in their hearts that there was little hope of being rescued.

After all, Qiu Yu had been rescued once before, but it was useless, and the palace would continue to consume thousands of gold worth of [Qiongjiang Yulu] to save them?
With that money, how many maids can I buy?

At this moment, they only hoped in their hearts that they would not be kicked out of the mansion and die alone in pain and suffering.

……

Squeak!

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and two servants wearing 'masks' came in.

"Next, you need to be separated and quarantined... You are so lucky, Su Zhenren said, [Qiong Yelu Yulu] will take care of it until it is cured for you... So, thank you, Su Zhenren, and thank you, the lord!"

……

Chuncao and Qiuyu, the two maidservants who were still conscious, wept with joy when they heard the words.

……

Two days later, the test results came out.
