Chapter 245 246 Vaccination
Yang Xiaodou glared and said, "That's better than waiting to die." Old Yang and other family members hurriedly went up and grabbed him: "Xiaodou, don't be stupid, put the knife down quickly."
Old man Yang asked his younger son to hug his older son, and apologized to Tu Dianshi: "Master Tu, don't be like this kid. You said that Mr. Zhou has found a prescription and is looking for an introduction to the medicine. Are you really not deceiving us? ?”
Tu Dianshi raised his hand and said: "Brother, I swear I didn't lie to you. You should be careful these days, drink medicine on time, and don't have contact with the people next door. There will be news in six or seven days at most."
When Old Man Yang saw Tu Dianshi raising his hand and swearing, he believed a little in his heart: "Don't worry, Mr. Tu, we will drink the medicine on time and wait for your good news."
"Okay, I'm still busy delivering medicine to the other two households." Tu Dianshi turned and walked outside the house, closed the door and locked it. After walking around several houses, he took off his blouse and put it in a bamboo basket.
Tu Hui rode back to East Street and told Tu Dianshi what Mr. Wen said. Tu Dianshi heard that he had to put away the smocks he had worn. He looked at the smocks in the bamboo basket and said, "Don't worry, I'll do it alone." It was placed in a bamboo basket, have you found the sick cow?"
Tu Hui shook his head: "We haven't found the cows brought from several villages. We have to wait for the cows brought from further villages and towns to find them again."
Tu Dianshi nodded and sighed: "We, Qingchuan, don't know which gods we have offended. One difficulty after another, without stopping."
Tu Hui thought of the past days and said with a smile: "That was better than the previous two years! It will get better and better."
Li Yu asked Ruyi to go back to Zhuangzi and have someone cut some thin bamboo sticks. She took Xiaoyu and Sister-in-law Zhang at home, tore the cotton into a pot, boiled it and left it to cool. After scrubbing it clean, she squeezed out the water and spread it on the bamboo plaque to dry. Dry it, wrap it on a bamboo skewer, and make a bunch of cotton swabs to use when applying acne juice.
At night, Mr. Wen returned home looking exhausted. Li Yu went up to him and asked, "Sir, have you found any sick cows with acne?"
"Alas!" Mr. Wen sighed, "I haven't found any pimples on the dozens of cows we brought in today. We'll have to wait and see if there are any in the cows brought in from a farther village tomorrow."
Li Yu comforted him: "Don't worry, it will be there. I've asked someone to make your favorite braised pork. You go and wash it first, and we'll start dinner."
Ruyi went to the front office to invite Zhou Jia back, and the family sat together to have dinner. Zhou Jia hugged Yang Yang who woke up and walked around in the yard. The father and son chatted, and Mrs. Zhang and Xiaoyu sipped. Mouth snickered. Li Yu asked funnyly: "Xiao Xi, what did you say to your son?"
Zhou Jia laughed and said: "Who knows what this little villain is talking about? If he doesn't do it, he will cry. I can only say what he says and I will follow suit!"
At night, Zhou Jia told Li Yu that two more people were sick, and sighed: "Sir, he is also very anxious. He sighs that he knows the solution but can't find the sick cow."
"You will find it. Go buy some lime and let the families spread it, or make it drunk with vinegar." Li Yu suddenly remembered the vinegar jars stacked in the backyard, "Let's use vinegar! The vinegar that Sheng Yang received when he was a child I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish it even if I eat it for decades.”
After hearing this, Zhou Jia looked at his son who was sleeping soundly and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll have someone come pick him up tomorrow."
The next day, Li Yu handed the wrapped cotton swab to Tu Man and took it to Mr. Wen. Tu Dianshi asked someone to bring two jars of vinegar to East Street and asked a dozen households near Zou's house to boil the vinegar. Then put it in the house to fumigate the virus.
When those families saw that the yamen had brought all the gifts received from the county magistrate's house for them to disinfect, they were somewhat relieved of their dissatisfaction after the yamen detained them. Old man Yang gratefully said to Tu Dianshi: "Master Tu, you and the county The great masters are all good and upright officials who love the people like their own children!"
Tu Dianshi laughed and said: "I haven't been admitted yet! What kind of official am I? Don't worry, everyone, the county magistrate is thinking of everyone."
It was not until after noon that Mr. Wen and Tu Man found an outbreak of acne on a cow that was so thin that only its skeleton was left. Mr. Wen looked at the sick cow with shining eyes, as if he had seen a golden cow. He laughed so happily that he danced and shouted: "I found it, I found it, Aman, quickly bring the porcelain bottle."
Tu Hui was infected by Mr. Wen's laughter, and his original feeling of impatience disappeared. He happily ran to Mr. Wen and looked at the skinny cow lying on the ground, with its belly covered with transparent soybean-sized pods. Blisters, Tu Hui said somewhat clearly: "Is this what cowpox actually looks like?"
"Yes, that's it. Generally, cows that are thin after giving birth are prone to acne sores, and strong bulls will get better on their own after a few pimples."
Mr. Wen took Tu Hui and carefully squeezed out the pox juice and put it into a small porcelain bottle. Tu Hui vomited while looking at the sticky cowpox juice. He turned around and saw Mr. Wen's serious and happy face and suddenly felt ashamed. He raised his head and looked into the distance, took a deep breath, suppressed his nausea and concentrated on squeezing the acne juice.
After more than half an hour, Mr. Wen happily took the porcelain bottle filled with pox juice and said to Tu Man: "After you squeeze out the pox juice from this cow, you can continue to look for the sick cow. I'll go to the east first." The street gave the pox to those dozen or so families."
Tu Man no longer felt sick and sad now, and said with a happy smile, "Sir, don't worry, just leave it to me." Mr. Wen happily praised Tu Hui: "Young man, you are doing a good job."
Mr. Wen arrived at East Street with a happy face. Tu Dianshi stepped forward and asked, "Old Master, how is the search going?"
Mr. Wen held up the porcelain bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "I found it. Could you please Mr. Tu to prepare a pot of strong wine, and I will inoculate them with pox."
"Okay!" Tu Dianshi sent Timon to get the wine, and Mr. Wen asked: "Mr. Tu, have you made it clear to those people?"
Tu Dianshi said with a smile on his face: "Yes! I said you have found a cure for smallpox, and you are still looking for Yao Yingzi."
Mr. Wen looked at Tu Dianshi, pointed at him and said: "Oh! You didn't explain it clearly to them at all! You blame me, and I didn't explain it to you in detail. I told you that this is how smallpox is treated... ··,do you understand?"
After Tu Dianshi figured out how to vaccinate the pox, he hesitated: "Would they be willing to treat it like this? How about we go and ask first!"
"Let's go! I'll go with you." Mr. Wen took the lead and walked towards Zou's house. Tu Dianshi followed Mr. Wen and ran to open the door of the Zou family, and the two of them entered the yard.
Tu Dianshi called the Zou family out and said to them: "Mr. Wen has found a way to cure smallpox. Let's listen." The Zou family looked at Mr. Wen with surprise.
Mr. Wen told them about the vaccination and said, "Don't be afraid, this method is the best method at present."
The old man from the Zou family sighed and said: "What are you afraid of! Aren't you treating a dead horse like a living horse? If you don't treat it, you will die. If you treat it, there may be a way to live."
