Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 460 Ingenious Treatment of Smallpox (2)
There are more than [-] chickens in the yard, and they lay eggs diligently. There are more than a dozen eggs a day, which is more than enough for the family to eat. Aunt Zhang is kind-hearted, and sometimes she saves a few and sends them to the tenants' homes.

"Little girl, do you have anything to buy? Go to the city with me and Huzi tomorrow."

Uncle Zhang took a bite of the cucumber and drank another bowl of mung bean soup.Unexpectedly, the family could leave the mountains and come to such a place, and now they also have land and tenants. Such a day is even unimaginable.

"Father, take me and Xiaoya, I'll tear a piece of fabric and make clothes for Mother and Xiaoya."

Zhang Daya put down the bowl and chopsticks, her mother's eyes were dazzled, Xiaoya's hands were not strong enough, she contracted all the shoes worn by the family, made a few more layers of soles, made soft soles, and added an insole made of cattail grass, so the clothes were soft and breathable.

"You two should not go, the sun is too hot, and there is no shed on our ox cart."

Uncle Zhang looked embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he still refused.

It was hot, and the people in the city were not well. I heard that some people died of heatstroke and convulsions. Zhang Bo and Huzi happened to be delivering goods that day, so they couldn't help but sigh a few times.

In the past, during the scorching summer, Zhang Bo was in the village and only went to the city to exchange money after hunting. In his memory, there was never a time when the weather was so abnormal.

Fortunately, the heat is hot. After a heavy rain, the crops will not be short of water for the time being, so there is no need to worry about the lack of harvest in a year of severe drought.

"Little girl looks white and tender, and she is afraid of the sun, so dad, take me there."

Zhang Daya was thinking about it, she had some copper coins saved from work in her hand, and wanted to buy some needles and thread, and buy some fabrics for her family by the way.

It's hot this year, so I have to buy a few pieces of breathable floral cloth. In previous years, the coarse cloth was thick and wrapped around her body, and she developed prickly heat on her back.

"Don't go either."

Uncle Zhang sighed. He went shopping in the city this time, and he heard that a strange disease was prevalent in the city. What if he contracted a strange disease?
"kindness."

Wan Yuyuling confirmed that it is not clear whether it is contagious or not. There are many children in the city who get sick first and have spots on their bodies, which eventually turn into pox.

At first, everyone thought it might be because of the hot weather, but later accompanied by fever, coma and other symptoms, the people were anxious and ran to the hospital to see a doctor.

This kind of disease has never appeared on a large scale in Chuzhou. It is somewhat evil. The doctor thinks that the baby has toxins, and prescribes a relatively mild detoxification prescription. As a result, the disease intensifies.

Mo Yan put down the bowl and chopsticks, her brows were tightly furrowed, judging from the symptoms Zhang Bo mentioned, it was most likely smallpox.

The mortality rate of smallpox is quite high, and once the disease occurs, there is no particularly effective treatment plan at all, and the patient can only rely on himself.

This disease is almost extinct in modern times, because people have invented the smallpox vaccine, but the vaccine has no effect on people who have already developed the disease.

After the meal, Mo Yan seemed absent-minded, with a look of preoccupation.She has never had smallpox, and if she is infected, even if she does not die, she will still have pockmarks on her face.

Sure enough, in the next few days, a large area of ​​smallpox broke out in Chuzhou City, sweeping like a plague.

Uncle Zhang came back from the city, heaved a sigh, seeing so many innocent people died tragically, he could only hide in the village, not daring to go out.

There was an incubation period of several days before, and after the incubation period passed, the infected people began to have high fever, dizziness, coma and other symptoms.

Mo Yan found a handbook left by Master Zhu Miracle Physician, which contained some records about smallpox, but this disease was collectively classified as plague, without a special name.

In the past, when someone fell ill, the government immediately sent people to arrest the sick person, threw them into a remote village nearby, and sent soldiers to guard them to prevent the sick person from escaping, leaving them to fend for themselves.

The common people did not understand the disease. A few days after the outbreak of the plague, the gates of Chuzhou city were closed, and the common people complained. Half of the shops on the street were closed. People hid at home, fearing to be infected.

Uncle Zhang thought that as long as his family members didn't go out, nothing would happen to them.

Two days ago, the son of a tenant family had a fever. The kid was the same age as Huzi. Huzi used to live in a remote mountain village and had no playmates of the same age, so he quickly became friends with that kid.

The little friend was sick, and Huzi brought a basket of eggs prepared by Aunt Zhang to visit the door, and the two laughed and had a few words.

After he came back, he began to feel some tightness in his chest, and a rash appeared on his body. He still didn't understand what was going on, but the tenant's family heard the shocking news that the boy had a high fever and fell into a coma.

The boy's parents were also infected, and they are currently hiding at home. There are several tenants in the village, and people are panicking.

The nearby villages were unavoidable. Some people were also infected with smallpox, and some survived, but most of them did not survive the last hurdle.

Mo Yan swayed, the tiger was infected with smallpox, and all the family members had direct contact. Smallpox was infected through droplets and direct contact!

"Don't be afraid, I'm with you."

Wan Tuo Yuling hugged Mo Yan in her arms, comforting softly, "You accepted my contract of sale, how can you deny it?"

"Don't...don't..."

Horror flashed in Mo Yan's eyes, she bit her lower lip to bleed, tasted the fishy sweet taste, and was able to force herself to calm down.

Two days ago, she went fishing with Huzi, and she might have been infected, so she must ensure the safety of Wanqi Yuling.

"Don't what? Do you still want to deny it?"

Feeling the struggle of the person in her arms, Wan Cheng Yuling lowered her head, pressed her lips firmly against hers, and gave Mo Yan a deep kiss domineeringly.

Mo Yan only felt that his brain was short of oxygen and could no longer breathe. He looked at Wanqi Yuling with watery eyes, his eyes were clear, loving, serious, pampered and indescribably distressed.

"You shouldn't let me go now."

After the kiss, Wan Yu Yuling was relieved, but Mo Yan had mixed feelings. Smallpox, a powerful infectious disease, cannot be avoided even by a genius doctor. He used this method to tell her that they will always advance and retreat together.

If she contracted smallpox, what he did just now is also inevitable.

Huzi was in a serious condition and passed out. The doctor heard that someone in the Zhang family was sick, so he was too scared to come to the door. Only one person came to have a look for Qian Cai's sake, shook his head, and told Aunt Zhang to prepare the coffin for an early burial.

Crying and shouting lingered above Chuzhou City, even though the sun was dazzling and shone on the people, there was only ice-cold temperature.

In order to prevent more people from being infected, the prefect of Chuzhou found several surrounding villages and drove all the people who had smallpox to the villages for isolation. If they did not cooperate, they would take coercive measures.

People who were not infected with the disease were afraid that they would be infected, and if someone's family was a little disturbed, they immediately reported it to the yamen.
