"Why is this? Is there still a generation gap problem with this joke this time?" Looking at these three extremely hypocritical and perfunctory smiling faces, the indomitable Cheng Chubi fell into thinking.
"Third Young Master, Third Young Master, Prime Minister of the Fang, Taoist Priest Sun and Taoist Priest Yuan have urgent matters to see you. I have already welcomed them into the front hall." A servant rushed over to report.
Cheng Chubi stood up and looked back at the three younger brothers.
"Don't worry, third brother, we won't cause trouble, don't worry." Cheng Laosi quickly sat upright and said to please.
"Don't rummage through my things." Cheng Chubi thought about it for a while, but still felt uneasy. He gritted his teeth and threatened in a dark way. "Otherwise, you three will go up to the roof to keep company with that mouse just now."
"Promise!" The three younger brothers trembled in unison and quickly agreed loudly.
"My nephew has met the two Taoist priests and Uncle Fang." Cheng Chubi walked into the front hall and saw the three people's brows furrowed and worried. He couldn't help but wonder, what kind of problem are they encountering again?
"My dear nephew, you don't have to be polite. I have a question. Do you still have the medicine for treating rabies?"
"Why, could it be that there is a rabid dog in Chang'an City that hurts people again?" Cheng Chubi was surprised.
"It's not Chang'an City, but Jinyang and Yunyang counties where rabid dogs appear to hurt people.
There are 23 injured in Jinyang County and nine injured in Yunyang County. They are in urgent need of medical treatment.
Compared with ancient prescriptions, your medicine is more effective..."
"That's no problem, but how far are Jingyang and Yunyang from Chang'an?"
Cheng Chubi stood up, looking eager to try. "I'm going to prepare enough medicine now."
"My dear nephew, you haven't recovered yet, so you don't need to take action yourself.
After all, Lao Dao and Yuan Daoyou have seen my nephew's treatment methods, so we can just lead our disciples there."
"I actually... okay, but those two counties are not far from Chang'an. After all, this medicine must be kept frozen.
If the time is too long, once the medicine deteriorates, it is very likely that it will not only lose its efficacy but also have other side effects."
"It's seventy or eighty miles from Jingyang to Chang'an, and a fast horse can reach it in less than half a day."
Cheng Chubi breathed a sigh of relief. "That's no problem. However, this time, you can only bring a single amount because this medicine needs to be frozen."
Cheng Chubi turned around and asked the servant next to him to get the medicine. Sun Simiao waited for the servant of the Cheng family to leave, then asked.
"Pindao has always had a question in his mind and wanted to ask his nephew.
Why can your medicine be used only before the onset of the disease, but lose its effectiveness after the onset of the disease?"
"How should I put this question?" Cheng Chubi looked at the three famous historical figures of the Tang Dynasty in front of him.
I feel it is necessary to educate them on the pathogenesis of rabies and why the attenuated rabies vaccine does not work after the disease occurs.
Cheng Chubi raised his head and looked towards the door, and there were three heads there, looking up and down.
"Stop hiding, Fourth Brother, go to my room quickly and get my piece of cardboard and charcoal pen."
"Okay third brother, I'll get it for you right now."
Cheng Laosi shrank his neck and quickly ran away, followed by his two laughing brothers.
"My nephew, what are you doing..." Fang Daxiang was a little confused.
Let me explain, why do you need cardboard and charcoal pens? Are you going to draw a cake for me and others to satisfy their hunger?
“Because the pathogenesis of rabies is not intuitive enough just to talk about it.
So I will use a more profound teaching method to popularize science with you."
#####
After a short while, the white cardboard was placed on the table.
Cheng Chubi picked up a charcoal pen and drew a vertical black line on the white cardboard.
Then there are four diagonally downward black lines, and an irregular circle is added to the top of the vertical line.
"This is a person." Cheng Chubi looked at it with satisfaction, then took a charcoal pen and clicked on this indescribable figure.
"..." A cool spring breeze blew into the hall, three elders and three younger brothers.
They all maintained a stiff posture, and their eyes were as wide as bells.
"...Are you sure?" Mr. Fang, a well-educated man who is good at various talents and has certain attainments in Chinese painting, said with trembling words.
"Isn't it?" Cheng Chubi poked it with his finger unhappily.
"Don't you see? This is the head, this is the body, these are the arms, these are the legs."
"It's so scary... Third Brother's skills are so scary..."
Cheng Laowu took a breath of cold air, this was an artistic skill that could no longer be described as ugly.
Cheng Laowu felt that if he took a few wooden sticks and put them around, he would be more human-like than this one.
"Third brother, does the white-bearded old man in your head look like this too?" Cheng Laoliu asked with curiosity on his face.
Cheng Chubi's face immediately darkened. "Old Liu, shut up!"
Don't you just have a shortcoming in your painting talent? If it weren't for outsiders, Third Brother, I would draw three white-bearded grandfathers in the shape of three stick figures on your face right now. Do you believe it or not?
"Ahem... don't worry about those details. My dear nephew, you should continue talking to us about the mechanism of rabies."
After all, Sun Simiao was a long-lived figure, old and prudent, so he decided to forcibly imagine those sticks as a living human body.
"Look, this man's arm was bitten by a dog..."
Cheng Chubi thought for a while and put a cross on the stick man's left arm. "This represents a wound."
After thinking about it, he decided to write the word "wound" next to Chacha.
Cheng Chubi was very satisfied that his prescription was still so skillful and elegant. He had received unanimous praise from several good-looking pharmacists in the pharmacy.
He would still call himself in a baby voice and ask himself what kind of medicine he was prescribed.
Haha, don’t think that I don’t know, you are the magnetic baritone of Brother Greedy.
"...What, what is this?" The three younger brothers and the elders were dumbfounded.
Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang looked at each other again in shock.
Sun Simiao whispered, "Could it be that the villain in his mind is really a Taoist? Why does Pindao feel like he is writing a talisman?"
Yuan Tiangang, who is proficient in Taoist talismans and is good at refining respective elixirs and massage, narrowed his eyes.
"Could it be a thunder talisman? But it seems incomplete?"
Cheng Chubi, who heard buzzing comments in his ears, was unhappy. What do you mean?
I'm explaining the pathogenesis of rabies virus to you, but you listeners can't take it seriously?
You just lack nine-year compulsory education. Otherwise, all of you will call your parents.
"Can you please stop talking for now? I wrote down the word wound so that I can describe the disease process more vividly later."
"Third brother, did you write the word 'wound'?" Cheng Laosi opened his mouth in an exaggerated manner, and his eyes were as wide as bells.
"Shut up. If you keep arguing, believe it or not, I will write these two words on your arm."
Cheng Chubi immediately got angry. As soon as he said shut up, your younger brother started provoking, "What the hell, believe it or not, I will kill my relatives for justice."
Cheng Laosi covered his mouth with both hands and his head swayed wildly from side to side. He was so scared that the third brother even had a fierce look in his eyes.
"..." Fang Xuanling looked at the unknown ghost-drawing talisman, and the corners of her eyes twitched.
Sun Simiao touched his old face, feeling a little shy and a little hot.
What happened to me, that I mistook the half-mad Cheng Laosan in front of me for being possessed by a Taoist master?
Yuan Tiangang also looked up at the ceiling in embarrassment and took a deep breath. He should be calm and not be moved by external objects.
Next time I think this kid's brain has returned to normal, I will call him Gangtian Ape.
“Afterwards, the rabies virus entered the injured person’s body through the wound, and the glycoprotein it contained can bind to the body’s acetylcholine receptors...
Okay, this probably touches on your blind spot of knowledge, so I’ll put it another way.”
