Sensing something bad from Xue Xichen's excited expression and Xiao Liuyue's sudden change of expression, Feng Qingge couldn't help but worry and asked: "Xichen, what is the smallpox you just mentioned?"
"Smallpox! It's commonly known as 'pox'! It's recorded in "Emergency Prescriptions": "When I was sick for a long time, I still got sores on my head, face and body. After a while, the sores appeared all around, like fire sores, and they all contained white pulp.
The knots are born, and those who are not treated immediately will die more often. Those who are not treated well will have purple and black sores that will disappear only after a few years. This is the vicious spirit. This is the smallpox I just mentioned! Smallpox is the cure for acne in our hometown.
It’s called a disease! I just went around the city and met a group of patrolling soldiers, led by Mo Kai. He told me that there is a smallpox outbreak in the city!"
Leng Junyi realized the seriousness of the matter from the serious expressions of Xiao Liuyue and Xue Xichen. He asked: "Is this disease dangerous?"
"Extremely dangerous!" Xue Xichen nodded vigorously with a serious expression, "Smallpox is highly contagious and the condition is serious. People who are sick are accompanied by high fever, body aches, nausea and vomiting, and macules, papules, herpes and pustules appear in batches on the skin.
, the disease comes with a fierce attack, and one-third of the people who get sick die within 15 to 20 days after getting sick."
So terrible!
Feng Qingge and Leng Junyi's expressions changed suddenly when they heard this. They looked at each other and their eyes fell on Xiao Liuyue. Feng Qingge asked eagerly: "Liuyue, you are the direct disciple of the miracle doctor Hua Tuo.
Does the true story of a miracle doctor have any good cures?"
Xiao Liuyue pondered and said: "Quickly isolate the sick people and don't let healthy people get close to them. The farther away, the better! The bodies of people who died of illness must not be exposed to the sun and must be destroyed with lime. In addition...
...Qingge, ask your subordinates to investigate if there are any people in the city who have had acne and recovered."
"Okay!" Feng Qingge responded and immediately ordered.
Xue Xichen looked at Xiao Liuyue with burning eyes and said seriously: "The only solution now is to vaccinate against pox!"
"Vaccination?"
"Yes! Vaccination! It's the only way to prevent smallpox!"
Feng Qingge was puzzled, "Xichen, you said prevention... why not treatment?"
Xiao Liuyue interjected: "Vaccination is indeed the best way to prevent acne at present. It can ensure that healthy people are not infected by acne. As for treatment... I have never encountered acne before, and I need to make an actual diagnosis before I can answer
."
Xue Xichen said: "Vaccination is actually a treatment method of 'fighting poison with poison'. However, this method is not foolproof. Some people will die from vaccination, and some people will still get smallpox. I once worked as a master
I have seen two methods of vaccination in medical books, one is called the pox-clothing method, and the other is called the nose-inoculation method."
Feng Qingge was puzzled, "What is the acne clothing method, and what is the nose sprout method?"
Xiao Liuyue explained, "The so-called acne clothing method is to give the patient's clothes to healthy people. If fever starts within nine to eleven days of wearing clothes, it proves that the vaccination has been successful. However, according to the master, this method
The actual effect is not good, and the success rate is extremely low. Either it will cause healthy people to become seriously ill, or it will not work at all.
"Later, the master explored another method during the treatment process, which was named the nasal spray method. This method is to use a cotton ball to dip the patient's blister slurry into the nasal cavity of a healthy person, or to grind the patient's abscess scab.
Make the powder into powder and blow it into the nasal cavity of the vaccinator with a silver tube. As for which nostril is plugged or blown into, it is usually the left for men and the right for women. If the reaction is normal, the vaccinator will have a fever within seven days, accompanied by mild chickenpox, but it will be over soon.
It can heal itself.”
"Actually, this method is not good either." Xue Xichen interjected: "If you prick the acne blisters directly and put the thick liquid into the nostrils, many family members will not accept it; if you grind the acne scabs into powder and blow them into the nostrils, it will
It irritates the nasal mucosa and causes an increase in nasal mucus, which often washes away the vaccinia but is ineffective, so the actual effect is not good."
Leng Junyi asked eagerly: "This method won't work, and that method won't work either. Xichen, what good idea do you have?"
Xiao Liuyue frowned, thinking deeply, and said: "What Xichen said makes sense. Let me think about it... if you take dozens of acne scabs, grind them into fine powder, mix them with three or five drops of purified water or human milk, and mix well
, use new cotton to spread thin slices, wrap them in prepared acne, shape them into date pits, tie them with thread, stuff them into your nostrils, and take them out after six hours... Xichen, what do you think of this method?"
Xue Xichen thought about it seriously, nodded and replied: "Senior brother, your method is indeed good. It is more practical than the master's method. You can give it a try. If you have fever within seven days, it means the vaccination is successful, and we can give it a try!"
"No!" Xiao Liuyue objected, "Xichen, acne is extremely dangerous. You are already weak. If you are unfortunate enough to be infected, how do you tell me to explain to my master!"
"Don't worry, senior brother!" Xue Xichen replied with a smile, "I was vaccinated with cowpox when I was a child. My body has developed immunity and I won't get sick."
"immunity?"
Xiao Liuyue had never heard of this new term.
"Oh? It's resistance!" Xue Xichen explained, "My body has developed resistance to the smallpox virus, so I won't get sick."
"Virus?" is another new term. Xiao Liuyue was extremely surprised. Why did he always hear many new terms from Xue Xichen's mouth that he had never heard before?
"Well……"
Xue Xichen scratched her head and was extremely depressed. How could she forget that the ancients did not have such a thing as "immunity" or "virus". Alas! It is really troublesome to explain!
However, it’s impossible not to explain! Because Xiao Liuyue is a curious baby. If she doesn’t explain clearly, Xiao Liuyue will definitely pester her to break the casserole and ask the truth.
"Hey!" Xue Xichen scratched her hair and tried to avoid the important things, "Actually, these are the sayings from my hometown. Senior brother, you don't need to go into details."
"hometown……"
He had never heard Xue Xichen talk about his hometown. Although Xiao Liuyue wanted to ask in detail, she also knew that the time and place were not suitable right now, and there were more important things waiting for him to do.
"In that case, Xichen, then you come with me! But, are you sure you won't get sick?" He couldn't help but ask cautiously again.
Xue Xichen nodded vigorously and answered extremely seriously: "I'm sure!" She patted Xiao Liuyue's shoulder, "Brother, you can rest assured! You know, I am most afraid of death! I will not take this
I lied to you about such things!"
"Okay! You come with me!"
Xiao Liuyue turned to Feng Qingge and said, "Qingge, take me to the military camp!"
Feng Qingge also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately agreed, "Okay! Come with me!"
The four of them left Fudi one after another and hurried to the military camp.
