Qiao Yi

The officers and soldiers guarding the city are checking the people entering the city. There are so many people entering and leaving the city every day. The officers and soldiers are repeating the same work day after day. They must be impatient after doing it for a long time.At the beginning of every morning, the officers and soldiers will check more strictly, and when they see that there is nothing wrong with it later, they just wave their hands and let it go.

Two baskets were placed at the gate of the city, and the people who brought things into the city to sell would automatically put a few coins into them.If the caravan has a lot of goods, the lijin will be more for entering the city.

As for the common people who didn't bring any goods on their hands, there was generally no problem, and they were released directly.

"Pass."

"~F—1^〇

A woman was carrying a child less than one year old. The woman's face was half covered with a veil, covering the scars at the corners of her eyes.The officers and soldiers who inspected wanted the woman to take off her veil, but when they saw the scar on the woman's face, they were startled, waved their hands and said impatiently, "Let's go, hurry up."

"Yes, thank you, sir." The woman replied and passed away cleanly.

When the woman entered the city, she went to the medical clinic in the city. After going to two medical clinics, she was driven out.

"Please, save my child..." The woman held the child in her arms and begged the doctor in the hospital to save her child.

After waking up, the child has been crying endlessly, waving his hands and crying. The little hand waved away the small quilt covering his face, revealing a face full of pustules. People around saw the child's face and took a sip. air conditioner.

"Oh, this child has smallpox, right?"

When the people around saw the child's disease, they knew it was something contagious, and when they saw the woman's kerchief fell down, there was a hideous scar on the woman's face, and the people around them all ran away in fright.

"It's not that we don't want to save you and your child, it's that we don't have the ability." Faced with the woman's pleading, the doctors in the clinic didn't want to save you, but they really didn't have the ability.

Seeing that the woman refused to leave, the doctor also earnestly persuaded her not to cause trouble here. There are still so many patients in their hospital. This disease is contagious. If one is not good, more people will be infected. .

Everyone remembered the previous plague, and so many people died vividly, and someone shouted: "Hurry up, drive them away!"

"

"Yes, drive them away, don't let them infect us."

"Go away, don't harm us."

"Let's go, you guys. Go to Yixintang and ask. If even the doctor in Yixintang can't do anything, you should leave quickly and don't hurt innocent people." The mother and son drove away.

The woman protected the child in her arms to prevent the things thrown by others from hitting her child. Remembering what the doctor said just now, the woman hurried away with the child in her arms.

"Where is Yixintang going?"

"Go straight here, turn a corner and you will see it."

"thanks, thanks."

The woman pulled a face towel to cover the scar on her face, and after asking a few people along the way, she found Yixintang.

"Hey, madam, you can register here for a doctor." The boy who was in charge of giving the number saw someone come to see a doctor, so he asked someone to go over and get a number.

“Wow wow wow”

The child was crying so much that his voice was almost hoarse, and the woman was a little helpless holding the child.It happened that Qiu Mingyi had finished seeing a patient over there, and when he heard a child crying over there, he asked what was going on.

"My child is sick. I beg the doctor to save my child." The woman carried the child and cried to the doctor to save her child.

"Your child, this is..."

Seeing the child's face, Qiu Mingyi frowned, not daring to reach out to touch the child.When he was practicing medicine with his adoptive father, he saw some people in some villages got this disease, some people got this disease, and all the people in the whole village died.

Last year's plague, the piles of corpses outside the capital are still vivid. There are so many people in the capital, so don't make any troubles.

"Xiao Cheng, go and tell Dr. Qiao to come over quickly." Qiu Mingyi didn't know what to do with this thing.

deal with it, but his intuition told him that Qiao Yi should know.

"say,,

疋.

Feng Cheng immediately put down the things in his hands, and went into the back yard to find Dr. Qiao.

Hearing that it was Qiu Mingyi who sent someone to come to him, Qiao Yi knew that he must have encountered some difficult patient, so he put down what he was doing and followed Feng Cheng outside.Seeing the child in the woman's arms, Qiao Yi knew what disease the child had at a glance, "Come to the consulting room inside."

There are too many people outside, it is not convenient to look outside.

Qiao Yi signaled the woman to follow with the baby in her arms. The woman had gone to so many clinics, and finally there was one clinic that didn't drive them out. The woman saw hope in her eyes.

Seeing this, the woman hurriedly followed up with the child in her arms.

"Sit down, I'm the one-hearted Doctor Qiao." Qiao Yi washed his hands, picked up a clean cloth and wiped off the water on his hands, let the woman holding the child sit down, and said, "Take the child's body With the clothes off, does the child also have pimples?"

"Yes... yes, yes." The woman took off the child's clothes, and the child's body was covered with pustules.

"How long has your child been in this condition?" Qiao Yi saw that the child's condition was already serious, at least seven or eight days old, and the pustules on the child's body and face had been scratched. The surrounding area has been inflamed and suppurated.

Moreover, the condition of the child is not very good. The mortality rate of this disease is extremely high. Such a small child, if one is not good, it will easily die.

"It's been a long time..." The woman sobbed and talked about the child's illness. It had been several days since she discovered that something was wrong with the child.As soon as the family saw this thing her child had grown, they asked her to throw the child into the mountains. There were wild wolves and beasts in the mountains, and the child would definitely not survive if thrown into it.

The child born in October of her own pregnancy has been brought up to such a large size with great difficulty, how can a woman be willing to throw the child away.It was because she couldn't bear to throw away the child, so the mother and child were kicked out by the family.

The woman's family lived in a village near the capital, and they couldn't find a doctor to treat the child in their village, so the woman carried the child all the way to the capital. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers did not check carefully when they entered the city. Only then was he able to enter the city.

"Do you have this thing on you?"

"No, no."

"Where did you come from? Is there anyone else in your place who has this situation?" Qiao Yi asked several questions in a row, and the woman answered what she knew, and said she didn't know what she didn't know.

After asking about the village where the woman was, Qiao Yi felt that it was necessary to go to that village.

This disease is highly contagious and has a high mortality rate. One person in a village has this disease. Some people don’t understand that this disease is contagious. At that time, one person will infect two people, and two people will infect three people. If everyone is infected with this virus, even if the whole village is infected, it will be very troublesome.

At the beginning, the disease is just high fever, vomiting, chills, convulsions and coma, etc., and after 2 to 4 days, a rash will appear. The rash is centrifugally distributed, more on the head, face and limbs, and less on the body.At first, it was a small dark red spot. Some people just thought it was allergy or rash, and they didn't take it seriously.

After 2 to 3 days, these rashes will turn into pimples, and after another 5 to 8 days, the pimples will suppurate.After another ten or eight days, the patient's body temperature will drop, the pustules will shrink and dry up, or they will rupture and form scars.After another half month or so, these scars are detached, and blisters will appear, which are called "pockmarks."

Some people with pockmarked faces have smallpox when they were young, and the scars left on their faces have turned into pockmarked faces.

But there are also some who can't survive, and died due to high fever or other complications in the middle of the process.

The symptoms of chickenpox and smallpox are somewhat similar, both of which will cause high fever and rash.However, compared with chickenpox, smallpox is more serious.The two diseases are also easy to distinguish. The smallpox rash is centrifugally distributed, while the chickenpox is centripetally distributed.And the same two diseases are contagious and infectious.But in comparison, the mortality rate caused by smallpox will be higher.

Smallpox is highly contagious, and every time the disease occurs, many people will be infected and die.The level of medical care in ancient times was low, and the smallpox virus once caused many deaths.But in later generations, this disease is gone.

When they lived in Xiaozhuangzi before, some people in the village had smallpox. After Qiao Yi cured it, he vaccinated the whole village with cowpox. So he lived in Zhuangzi for several years. I have never heard of this kind of disease in their village.

In fact, the most effective and simple way to prevent smallpox is to vaccinate against vaccinia. Cowpox is naturally the pox fluid obtained from cows. Pick a small batch on the surface of human skin, apply the vaccinia fluid on it, and wait until the pox fluid is touched. A small pustule appeared in the place, and the pustule detached naturally, which means that the inoculation was successful.In the era of advanced medicine in later generations, it is through vaccination to prevent

against this disease.

"You have to stay here in the medical hall for a few days. I will prescribe a prescription for people to decoct the medicine first. Your child's illness is not incurable, but your child has been delayed for too long. In this case, I must also Let me tell you clearly, so that you don't rely on us." Qiao Yi picked up the pen in his hand, wrote a prescription on the list, and reminded: "Also remember, during this time you Be careful not to let children scratch their face and body, and do not let children rub their eyes."

"No, I won't depend on you. Whether it's life or death, it's my child's life." The woman looked at the child in her arms. The child was tired from crying for so long. The woman looked at the sleeping face of the child. , Tears could not stop falling down.

"Hey, don't let your tears fall on the child's face." Qiao Yi reminded.Seeing that the woman was not infected, he asked, "Did you have acne when you were a child?"

"No, I don't remember." The woman didn't know, she shook her head, afraid that her tears would fall on the child's face, so she stopped crying with sobs.

"In this case, when you take care of the child, you should also pay attention to yourself. If there is any discomfort, you should tell me in time." Qiao Yi saw that the child in the woman's arms was still so small, and she still couldn't leave her mother. It's obviously not realistic to let someone else take care of it.

However, he saw that the woman had not contracted the disease after taking care of the child for so many days, presumably it must be because she had pimples when she was a child.

Just at this time Qiu Mingyi walked in, Qiao Yi asked Qiu Mingyi to grab the medicine with the list, "Hurry up and get the medicine out." By the way, he also reminded, "You remind them later, they didn't If you have acne, don't go near them, the disease is contagious."

"Okay, I'll remind them." Qiu Mingyi took the list and went out to get the medicine. After getting the medicine, he immediately ordered someone to cook it.

medicine.

"Ah Hu, take them to live in the room at the back corner, and let them live in a ward alone, and don't mix with other people." This disease is contagious. It is not suitable for other patients to live together.

He had vaccinated both Wang Dahu and Chu Liu with cowpox before, so they would not be infected with the virus, so he ordered Wang Dahu to take care of the mother and child and keep others away.

Qiao Yi said to the woman: "During the period when your child is not well, I hope you can stay in the room in the backyard and try not to go into the crowd."

"Yes." The woman replied repeatedly, holding her child tightly in her arms.

"Follow me." Wang Dahu led the mother and son to the back.

It didn't take long for the medicine to be boiled, Qiao Yi asked Wang Dahu to go with him to find the mother and child with the medicine, and asked the woman to feed the medicine to the child.

The child looked less than one year old, there were only the mother and the child, and no man from her family was with her, so Qiao Yi didn't ask the woman why the child's father didn't come with her.

Seeing the appearance of the mother and the child, and wondering if they had eaten anything that day, Qiao Yi ordered, "Dahu, go to the kitchen to see if there is anything to eat, bring some here, and bring a bowl of porridge and water by the way." Come and feed the kids."

There were also some foods that should be avoided, Qiao Yi mentioned them to the woman.

Not long after, Wang Dahu came over with a tray, on which there were two bowls of porridge, some steamed buns and a side dish.Qiao Yi asked the woman to bring the child here, eat something to rest, and ask him to call him if there is any problem.

"Is there anywhere that raises cattle around here?" Coming out of the ward at the back, Qiao Yi went to the front, saw an old man, and asked the old man where there was a cattle farm nearby.The old man is a local who lives in the capital, and he knows where there is a cattle farm nearby.

After asking the old man where there was a cattle farm nearby, Qiao Yi led the people out of the hospital.
