Later, seeing that Jiang Langzhong's movements were too slow, Tao Anran arranged for some people to directly set up a few stoves to burn limestone, and finally wiped the surface of the newly built embankment with this simple cement before dark, making the river embankment look solid a little.

It didn't rain that night, and it didn't rain until dawn in the early morning, and the rain ranged from drizzle to squally.

Tao Anran was worried about the situation in the South City after getting up early. It was because there were too many patients at that time and there were not enough houses, so he directly built a simple house with wood, and spread some thatch randomly on it.

I'm afraid the house won't be able to hold on to such a squall.Those patients were already in poor health due to the infection, and if it rained, it would be even worse.

Tao Anran was worried all the way, but when he arrived in Nancheng, he found that the houses had been reinforced.After he asked, he found out that Xiao Jingyu saw the weather was bad last night and asked people to reinforce the house.At that time, he was burning limestone on the embankment, and then he went back to rest, and he didn't think about this layer at all.

Through the guardrail, Tao Anran saw Xiao Jingyu. Although he couldn't see his face clearly with the mask on, he could feel that he was in good condition, and at the same time he saw himself.Just as he was about to talk to Xiao Jingyu, someone quickly came over and said, "Princess, there are livestock that have also been infected with the plague, but they are still alive. Do you want to kill them and burn them?"

Tao Anran frowned, has it infected animals?He hurriedly asked, "Where is it? What kind of animal is it? Take me to see it."

It's just that in this way, I can't talk to Xiao Jingyu for the time being.Tao Anran looked at Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Jingyu obviously knew what had happened, and waved him to go about his own affairs.Tao Anran had no choice but to wave to him as a signal, and come back when he is done.

When Tao Anran arrived at the cattle pen, he realized that the two cows had pustules and were infected with cowpox.Tao Anran was taken aback when he saw the two cows, and something flashed through his mind.

He immediately pointed to the two cows excitedly and said, "Quickly, take the two cows away and show them to Dr. Qu."

As soon as Tao Anran finished speaking, he saw an old man kneel down towards him with a plop.It is the owner of this household.The two children of this family seem to have been infected and quarantined in Nancheng. Only the old father is healthy and guards the house.

Tao Anran didn't know why, so she heard the old man cry: "My lord, you can't take these two cows away! This is the most valuable thing in the family, how can we live if we take it away!"

Tao Anran immediately understood that what he did just now was probably no different from a robber in the eyes of the old man.He quickly helped the old man up and said: "Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding, old man. I didn't take your cow for nothing, I paid for it."

Tao Anran touched his pocket and then his waist, but found nothing.His face froze, seeing that the weather was bad in the morning, he went out in a hurry and didn't seem to bring any money.

The old man looked at him and muttered, "Dahua and Erhua have been raised for several years, from calves to big cattle. They have grown so big through hard work of mowing and feeding. Usually plowing is not at all difficult. Laziness is a good cow. Big flowers, second flowers..."

Listening to these thoughts, Tao Anran hurriedly asked Han Lu and Xia Zhi Dong Zhi to contribute some money to the old man.There was not much scattered money, so Tao Anran gave it all to him, and said: "Old man, I'll give you the money. I'll borrow this cow for a while. I'll return it after I use it up. If you don't come back by then, I'll give it to you." Replenish it to you at the original price, or buy a new cow and return it to you, only a little more. What do you think?"

The old man looked at the broken silver in his hand, clenched it tightly, and then looked at the two cows with distress. Finally, he let go and confirmed: "I just borrowed it first, and will return it? Then how long will you borrow it?"

Cattle can be regarded as the most important asset of a farmer's family, and Tao Anran understands the reluctance of the elderly.However, he is not sure how long he will borrow it, after all, the research cannot be completed overnight.

Tao Anran could only promise: "As for how long I will borrow this cow, I'm not sure yet. But if this cow is no longer used, it will definitely be returned, so don't worry about it. We are in Nancheng, and you can also go directly to the county Ya is looking for us."

In the end, under repeated assurances, Tao Anran had someone take away the two cows.After driving the cattle to Nancheng and putting them in a separate compartment, Tao Anran immediately asked Qu Zhishui to come over to have a look.

Qu Zhishui heard the summons to put down what she was doing, and hurried over, thinking that someone else was infected.When he arrived at the place, the first thing he saw were two cows, and the princess was staring at the two cows with shining eyes.

As soon as Tao Anran saw Qu Zhishui, she hurriedly said, "Doctor Qu, come and take a look at these two cows!"

Qu Zhishui followed the command and looked at the two cows with a puzzled expression.Although he doesn't do production, he still recognizes the cattle.But what's so good about two ordinary cattle.

But looking at the excited expression of the princess, he felt something in his heart, this cow might be a little strange.After all, at a time like this, the princess would not be so idle as to allow people to watch the cattle.He looked at the two cows carefully again, and then his brows frowned.

He hesitated and asked: "Princess, isn't this cow also infected with smallpox?"

Tao Anran nodded and replied, "You also found out. Both cows have cowpox. I asked you to come to see these cowpox."

Qu Zhishui immediately walked a few steps closer, observed the cowpox on the cows, and said: "These cows have cowpox, but they seem to be in good condition, and they don't have a fever, which is different from humans. And I don't seem to have heard of cowpox. Something that would kill you from smallpox."

Qu Zhishui fell into deep thought after speaking.

Tao Anran patted him on the shoulder and said, "Cows won't die from vaccinia, because they can produce antibodies against smallpox. People will die from smallpox, just because they don't have antibodies in their bodies. If people can be like It’s like a cow, if it develops its own antibodies, that person will heal itself like a cow, and there’s no need to die.”

Although Qu Zhishui didn't understand what "antibody" was, he understood what the princess meant.Indeed, if people can heal themselves after being infected with smallpox like cows, they will no longer have to be afraid of smallpox.

Qu Zhishui couldn't help asking: "How should I do this? After all, humans are different from cows."

Tao Anran looked at the two leisurely cows, propped his chin and said, "I remember it seems to be related to the pox fluid of cowpox. Cut the skin, apply the pox fluid on it, and wait for the body to heal itself."

Qu Zhishui began to think about this possibility, and asked with a frown: "Wherever the skin is cut, or anywhere on the body? How much acne liquid should be applied?"

After thinking about it, Tao Anran replied: "For intramuscular injections, it's probably the buttocks? As for how much acne fluid to apply, I don't know. It's up to you to practice. This is also the purpose of my asking you to come. We Only experiments will determine the true method. We are running out of time and many people have died."

Qu Zhishui replied with a serious face: "I see, I'll go find something to get the pox fluid and try it."

The situation is grim now. Every day, people who cannot sustain themselves die, and there are also newly discovered infected people.Even though many doctors are busy, they are all in vain, unable to diagnose and treat smallpox.So as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Qu Zhishui is willing to try.

In particular, this is the method that Wang Hao said. Based on Wang Hao's previous whimsical ideas, this method is half feasible.Especially now that the prince is also infected, the feasibility of this method is greatly enhanced.All that is missing now is practice and determining the dose.

Qu Zhishui first found a clean medicine bottle and took a few drops of pox solution, then returned to the patient area, he went straight to the patients in the most serious condition.Here is an old man, a young man and a young woman.

The pimples on their bodies have grown to their faces, and the red and swollen pimples on their foreheads can also be seen through the masks.Moreover, they have all developed high fever and are unconscious.Judging from Qu Zhishui's experience, if there is no miracle, they may not last until tomorrow morning.

Qu Zhishui came to the woman and heard that she had two children, but they hadn't seen each other for a long time after the infection.Qu Zhishui walked over, the woman seemed to wake up briefly, and asked, "Doctor, I want to live, I haven't seen the child grow up yet!"

The sound was weak and weak, but Qu Zhishui probably knew what it was without listening carefully.In fact, in the past few days, he has seen several cases of this kind of thing.

He clenched the medicine bottle tightly and asked, "Do you want to live? I have a medicine here, which is to be applied directly on the buttocks. But I'm not sure that it will save you. I can only say that if you are lucky, you will be able to live." Come down. Do you want to try?"

There was silence in the air for a while, and Qu Zhishui didn't rush.Although in the eyes of doctors, there is no gender distinction between men and women, only diseases.But it's okay for a man to apply acne liquid on the buttocks, but it's really unacceptable for a woman.

In the end, the desire to survive was too strong, the woman said with red eyes: "Yes."

The sound was still not loud, but more like a roar.

Qu Zhishui nodded and said, "Okay."

Immediately, he turned the person over neatly, took off his pants, wiped it with alcohol, and directly picked up the prepared medical knife to cut a little bit of the skin, and then applied a little acne liquid on it.Finally, pull up your pants.

The whole movement is smooth and smooth, fast and quick.Before the woman could react, Qu Zhishui had already fixed it, and said, "Lie down on your stomach like this first, and then lie back when you feel no pain."

Afterwards, Qu Zhishui followed the same method for the elderly and young people in serious condition.No one refuses the hope of being able to survive, even the elderly who have reached their twilight years.And because they were all men, Qu Zhishui didn't need to waste his time talking, just quickly took off his pants and wiped the acne lotion.

Qu Zhishui then began to check on the patient's condition, and quickly recorded any trouble.If this experiment is successful, then what he recorded is the case basis for the latecomers.

By the next morning, all three seriously ill people had survived.Although the situation has not improved, being able to survive is itself a good sign.

Qu Zhishui began to record the status of these three people, and at the same time continued to apply acne liquid to those who became seriously ill, and continued to experiment and record.Until he can be sure that these pox fluids are really resistant to smallpox.
