Man Bao climbed up from the bed while squeezing his sore neck, looked at the book he was holding in his hands, and simply put it in the space, then opened the door and went out with a yawn.
Zhou Liru had already washed up and was holding a medical book and reciting prescriptions in the yard. When he turned around and saw his sister-in-law, he was stunned and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you still wearing yesterday's clothes? Why are you so wrinkled..."
Zhou Liru's eyes fell on my sister-in-law's head. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Sister-in-law, you didn't sleep all night, right?"
Don’t you always say that it’s not good to stay up late when you’re with Shopkeeper Zheng and the others? Why do you do it when you’re alone?
Only then did Man Bao reach out and touch his head. He felt that he was probably a little embarrassed at the moment, so he said, "Li Ru, help me get a basin of water. I'll freshen up first."
After a pause, he said: "I didn't sleep all night, I still slept. You can't tell my parents."
Zhou Liru stared at her sister-in-law's face, nodded after a while, and obediently went to get her hot water.
After washing and changing clothes, Man Bao went to have breakfast with his family.
Because she told her family members not to go out, Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian went to the restaurant with Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian early this morning. The others were at home helping Fang and the others cut medicine and make ointment.
While eating breakfast, Man Bao smelled the scent of medicine lingering on the tip of his nose and said, "Dad, we still need to prepare some medicinal materials at home, just in case. After a while, I wrote a medicine order and asked people to go to other pharmacies to get medicine, and then returned to the capital.
If the medicine is expensive, just ask a doctor to take it at home."
Although I have a lot of medicinal materials prepared at home, this kind of person has prepared a lot of medicinal materials before he gets sick. Lao Zhoutou has never done anything at home and is waiting. He was curious for a moment, "Isn't this a curse to make people sick? You can't wait.
Why call a doctor when someone is sick? And there may not be anyone in our family who gets sick."
Man Bao said: "This is just in case. Every family will prepare some medicinal materials, just like preparing food."
She said: "Anyway, most medicinal materials are commonly used. If you don't use them this time, you can use them in the future. When you go to buy medicines, let them pack them separately and don't mix them together."
Mrs. Liu understood this very well. As soon as she got the medicine list, she asked four servants to go to various pharmacies to get medicine.
Lao Zhoutou could only contribute his own share of the money.
Man Bao specifically warned, "Don't tell me my name, and don't tell me your family name. Come back after buying the medicine."
When they came back, she asked about the price of medicines. Sure enough, two drug stores had increased their prices today, not a lot, but you could tell.
Bai Shan also took a look and said: "The news should come out today and tomorrow. Senior Brother Yang's secret is not a secret. But it will take some time before it spreads to the public."
Man Bao nodded, "The court will also make arrangements by then."
Man Bao turned around and went back to the house to continue reading medical books, while Bai Shan went to make travel arrangements.
Man Bao quickly flipped through the table of contents circled by Teacher Mo, and scanned the contents according to the table of contents. As soon as she found that the content was something she had read, she put it aside. This speed was very fast, and she flipped through it in just half an hour.
Four books.
Man Bao flipped through a book again and looked through the catalog. When he saw the content above, he couldn't help but sit up and asked, "Vaccination?"
Man Bao immediately sat down with the book, knocked the book down, spread the paper and poured water. When he touched the ink strip, he rubbed the ink with one hand and turned the book over to continue reading.
After she read through the content at a glance and the ink came out, she immediately dipped ink and read the content in the book carefully, while writing it down with pen and ink...
When Bai Shan came over, she had already opened the eighth book. There were a lot of written papers spread out on the table. Most of them were about vaccination, but there were only two ways to actually treat smallpox during the disease.
.
Bai Shan knocked on the door, and Man Bao subconsciously wanted to hide the book. When he saw it was him, he breathed a sigh of relief and put the closed book on his lap on the table again, "Have you packed it all?
"
Bai Shan glanced at the messy books and papers on the desk and said with a smile, "So you agreed to let us follow you?"
Manbao nodded.
He stood for a moment and saw that she had no intention of collecting any more books, so he took a few steps forward, took a look at the books on her case, flipped through them and asked, "He gave this to you?"
Manbao paused and nodded.
Bai Shan was very curious, "Can't my father-in-law give you the prescription directly? Why do I have to read the whole book to you?"
Man Bao lowered his head and continued to write: "Because he doesn't know how to prevent and cure smallpox, naturally he can't directly tell me the skills he hasn't learned."
When Bai Shan heard this, he was extremely surprised, and at the same time yearned for it, "It turns out... we also need to learn. I wonder if we can be like my father-in-law in a hundred years, or whether we will walk across the Naihe Bridge and be reincarnated like my father without knowing it.
go."
Man Bao thought for a while and said, "It should be the same as your father."
Bai Shan was not too disappointed. He nodded, looked at the book on the case, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let me help you."
Man Bao couldn't help but it was too much for her to rummage by herself.
She taught him, "The contents of some books are repetitive. I only want prevention and treatment methods, and I don't care about the others."
Bai Shan understood, moved a chair and sat across from her, put away the books on the table and put them aside, then spread out the paper and took a book to open.
Bai Shan's luck was even better than Man Bao's. The first book he opened contained three prescriptions for treating smallpox. Unfortunately, he couldn't verify whether they were useful. Anyway, after reading it, he felt that two of the prescriptions were a bit ridiculous.
If you smear your whole body with honey, can that really cure smallpox?
He glanced at Man Bao and felt that it was better to leave such matters to the doctor to judge, so he reached out and took out a pen from the pen holder, dipped it in ink and began to record it.
The room became quiet for a while, except for the sound of two people turning pages and writing.
After Bai Erlang packed his luggage and said goodbye to his little nephew Yiyi for a while, he came back and saw the two of them looking at each other and flipping through books.
He scratched his head, but he still didn't want to read or write, so he turned around and left to prepare some more things he needed when going out.
It's so cold in Xiazhou, so maybe they should bring more clothes, cloaks, shoes and socks.
Not long after Mrs. Cheng gave birth to her son, she was supposed to have a double confinement at her home in Changqing Lane. But early this morning, mother and son were taken to Zhou's house by Bai Dalang. I heard that there was a plague outside. It should be a long time.
The family of three will live here for a while.
At this time, she was handing the child to the wet nurse. She was watching the boy who was waiting for Bai Erlang collecting his things. When she saw him coming, she smiled and said: "Second uncle, I have packed all the luggage. Look,
