Qi Yue didn't even think about the trouble Wang Qingchun encountered here. In fact, it was impossible for her to care.
What she cares about is the trouble she is encountering now.
Convince the owner of the pig farm to let her inspect the pigs.
"Who raises pigs without killing a few pigs? The pig raisers in Yongqing Mansion are not from our family. You, why do you say that our pigs can kill people?" The young woman shouted loudly, with a look on her face.
Angry, but the fear in her eyes did not escape Qi Yue's eyes.
Rather than saying that she didn’t believe that her pigs could harm people, it was more that she couldn’t believe that the so-called plague was caused by her own pigs.
"That's right, you woman, how can you just say that other people's pigs are the source of the plague? There are no sick people in our village." The elders in the village also came out to uphold justice and said in a deep voice.
said.
"No, no, the absence of illness does not mean that there is no infection, and I am not just talking nonsense. In fact, I came here to find evidence," Qi Yue looked at him and nodded.
The people present were stunned for a moment.
"I am just suspicious now, so I have to do experiments to verify whether these pigs are carrying anthrax bacteria." She continued, "So please cooperate with me and let me find evidence or prove that I am right.
Peace, or prove me wrong and make you innocent."
This is reasonable and reasonable. Everyone hesitates after hearing this.
"It's better to listen to her. If it's true, then we are from the same village..." someone whispered.
After hearing this, the clan leader stood up and gave him a cane.
"Okay, Mrs. Hua's family, you do as she says." He said, "I want to see how you can prove it."
With the clan leader's words, the family has no choice but to do so if they don't want to.
"Then if our pigs are fine, you have to compensate us!" the woman said with a bit of grievance, "if this gets out, our business will be affected."
Qi Yue nodded.
"That's natural." She smiled.
Seeing that the woman was so easy to talk to, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and mentally calculated how much she would want.
"However, if something happens to your pigs, you must listen to me." Qi Yue turned around and said before turning around.
The woman was stunned for a moment.
What to do?
The pigs here are not like modern pig farms, but are raised all over the mountains. Qi Yue took his disciples and ran around all over the mountains and fields.
"No, Master, these pigs are fine." The disciples said. They were wearing protective clothing in the summer, and they were almost steaming. They were holding on to their waists and panting.
Qi Yue was even worse than them, she was so tired that she couldn't speak.
"Are our pigs okay? Each one may have eaten or run away." The woman smiled.
The villagers who looked around behind him couldn't help laughing.
These people are really interesting, dressed like this and chasing pigs on a hot day.
"Pigs have the strongest resistance to anthrax. It is basically chronic and has almost no symptoms before death. It is often discovered during health quarantine during slaughter." Qi Yue said, "This is not surprising, and it does not mean that we are wrong.
"
"Are we going to do an autopsy?" the disciple asked.
"No, no, no." Qi Yue shook his head, "If it's anthrax, you must not dissect it, it's very dangerous."
The disciples nodded.
"You must have dead pigs in this section, right?" Qi Yue asked.
The woman looked slightly unhappy.
"It's normal for pigs to die," she said.
"Did you sell all the dead pigs?" Qi Yue ignored it and asked again.
The woman was even more unhappy when asked.
"Those...those are not sick...there are only two or three sick, and I buried them all..." she said loudly.
She thought that if this woman kept biting her and saying that patients killed people, she would never be done with her! Drive them away immediately!
"That's great." Qi Yue said, raising her feet, "Take me to see it."
So good? What is so good? The woman was stunned again. Why did this woman speak so unreasonably...
But in this case, I can only take her with me.
"You continue to look for it. The infected pig's throat is swollen and its neck cannot move flexibly..." Qi Yue added.
The disciples responded and took a break to check the pigs one by one.
When Dr. An came over, Qi Yue and others had found live sick pigs and healthy pigs and were preparing to conduct experiments.
"How can we prove that the pig is transmitting the disease?" he asked excitedly.
Qi Yue was also shocked when she saw him.
"Why are you here? You can't come here." She said, pointing to the white lime scattered by the disciples on the ground, "Don't come in within this line."
She had no manpower now, so she could only ask the villagers to help watch, but the villagers didn't care that much and didn't take it seriously at all, so the white lime line was just a look.
"Master, how could I not come for such an unprecedented thing?" Dr. An said with a smile.
Qi Yue was helpless.
"Help Dr. An put on the isolation gown." She said to a disciple.
By the time Dr. An finished disinfecting and put on isolation clothes and came over, Qi Yue had already started drawing blood from the two pigs.
"This is the blood of healthy pigs and the blood of sick pigs," she said, handing the drawn blood in porcelain test tubes to her disciples.
The disciple reached out and took them carefully, labeled them one by one, and placed them on the test tube rack. Soon the wooden rack was full.
Dr. An looked at it carefully and did not ask any questions.
"I first need to obtain serum from sick pigs and healthy pigs." Qi Yue took the initiative to explain to him, "Because there is no centrifuge, we can only use natural coagulation."
"What is serum?" asked Dr. An.
"The blood looks the same to you, but actually the components inside it are also different. Serum is the component of plasma after removing fibrin," Qi Yue said.
I couldn't understand a word... Old Doctor An nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Accompanied by the pig's neighing, the two pigs were marked and released.
Qi Yue and others exited.
"I suggest that you don't cross this line and take care of the children at home. This is some lime shochu. Please spray it at home. Don't go out. Wash your hands under running water. If you have any injuries, please go to Qianjintang immediately for investigation." Qi Yue said.
The villagers were unconvinced.
"Let's wait until you come up with evidence," the clan leader said.
Qi Yue said nothing more and asked his disciples to distribute those things to the villagers, then retreated to a place and started to set up tents.
This tent was originally made by Hu San when the farmer and Mr. Xie thought about an emergency surgery in the field last time. Because there were too many things to do, only one was made, but it was still useful.
It comes in handy.
A small and crude laboratory was quickly set up.
"I'm going to make precipitation now, please step away first." Qi Yue said, placing her hand on a small porcelain jar.
Do they even have to retreat?
The disciples and Dr. An looked worried, but no one moved.
"Master, let's do it." A disciple said, "If anything happens, we won't be a big deal. If something happens to you, just..."
Dr. An also nodded.
Qi Yue looked back at them and smiled.
"Wrong." She said, "You are the future, you are the most important."
The disciples were astonished and confused. They? How important are they?
Qi Yue smiled and waved her hands.
"It's okay. I just did the most dangerous thing of extracting dead pig tissue. Now it's just preparing the precipitate, so the risk has been greatly reduced." She said.
In other words, if there was really any danger, she would have already passed the danger...
The disciples had complicated expressions.
"Now is not the time for you to learn. I will leave this to you later." Qi Yue smiled again, "Now you go and do the serum separation according to what I wrote down, just like what we usually do in the laboratory.
Just keep your hands steady and focus, and there will be no problem.”
The disciples responded in unison and pushed Dr. An to exit.
When night fell, all the strangers in the village dispersed without seeing anything special. Qi Yue's tent was lit with torches, which was very bright in the night.
"This contains the antigen..." Dr. An muttered while looking at the liquid in the test tube.
That word is so unfamiliar...
"Transparent liquid." Qi Yue said for him.
Dr. An carefully put the test tube back on the wooden rack, because it was awkward to do so while wearing thick gloves.
"Can it be detected in this way?" Dr. An asked.
Qi Yue breathed out.
"I don't know." she said.
"Master..." Old Doctor An looked at her and smiled helplessly.
"I'm not modest." Qi Yue laughed, putting her hands behind her head and looking at the starry sky outside through the door, "My previous environment was completely different from now. I have never tried these... Well... you know...
We are the ones who have the equipment..."
Dr. An heard Liu Pucheng describe the speculation of the master behind Lady Qi, who was like an existence from another world.
"But, how did you do it before those...equipments...?" He thought for a while and asked.
Before?
Qi Yue looked at him.
Old Doctor An looked at her and smiled slightly.
"Why is there... equipment?" he asked.
"It's because there is a need." Qi Yue said and also smiled, "Why do people have needs? Because someone knows that they can make it, so in the beginning there were only people and no machines. With this..."
She stretched out her finger and said, "Step by step, we have gotten more, better and more perfect..."
Old Doctor An smiled.
"It depends on how the serum is separated tomorrow." Qi Yue waved and stood up, "Dr. An, this place is shabby and there is no place to rest. You can use this recliner to rest."
Old Doctor An did not refuse. At this time, it was not the time to waste words and excuses. With the help of the servant, he lay down to rest.
Qi Yue walked out of the tent. Two disciples were guarding a box, which was tilted.
There are two small charcoal stoves placed some distance away from the box.
"We don't have an incubator, so we have to use the stupid method of leaving it at room temperature overnight," she said. Although it is summer, the temperature in the middle of the night is very likely to drop. "Be sure to keep the temperature low. Everyone will have a harder night.
Bar."
The disciples responded yes.
Qi Yue sat down casually, and the disciples were scattered around her.
"Master, why can't the temperature be too low?" someone asked, habitually taking out a small book.
Seeing this, others hurriedly took it out.
"Because the temperature of blood in the body is 37 degrees, if the room temperature outside the body is 25 degrees lower, there will be a thermal expansion and contraction reaction, and the cell wall will rupture. The serum obtained in this way is the serum after hemolysis, and
It will lose the effect we want." Qi Yue said.
"..Master's blood still has temperature?"
"..What is thermal expansion and contraction?"
"..What exactly are cells? Why can't I see them?"
"...You can't see it with the naked eye, you have to use a microscope..."
“…What is a microscope?”
In the simple tent, Dr. An smiled slightly and closed his eyes while listening to the discussions outside.*** (To be continued)
