Yang Heshu held the pill in his hand and asked, "Is this useful?"
Man Bao said: "It's not very useful, it's just for getting rid of bad smells, it's better than nothing."
Yang Heshu put it into his mouth, and after holding it for a while, he could feel the slightest sweetness, and after a while... the medicine in his mouth softened.
Yang Heshu: ... If it wasn't for the faint smell of medicine, he wouldn't believe it was a medicine. Even with this medicinal smell, he didn't really believe it.
He looked at Zhou Man helplessly, thinking that she was still a child after all. But that's a lot of fun.
After confirming that the son was fine, Yang and Shu handed him over to the nanny to carry him down, and then asked Man Bao and the others to wash and change their clothes first.
The road was full of dust, if they were not wearing cloaks, even their hair would be dusty.
During the period of washing up, he took a rest at that time, and Man Bao let out a breath after soaking in the hot water.
There was a brazier in the room, and it was still quite warm. Man Bao got dressed and sat on the wooden couch. A girl came in with a big towel to dry her hair.
Man Bao was very tired after running the horse for five and a half days. She just came out of the bath at this time, and she couldn't help being sleepy when the heat was hot. She half-closed her eyes and asked, "When did Madam get sick?"
The girl paused and then replied respectfully: "I had a fever four days ago. I wasn't sure at first that it was an illness. I thought it was tired. After a day, I developed acne. After a day of suffering yesterday, I sent three days to the hospital this morning. No. Bieyuan."
Man Bao opened his eyes, without any pajamas.
In fact, acne in adults is more dangerous than acne in children. Even a healthy adult may not be able to survive it.
It's very strange, just like people have a fever, children's fever seems to be a common occurrence, although it is also dangerous, but once you get used to it;
Unlike adults, who don’t get burned once a year, if they suddenly get burned, the probability of death and disability is much higher than that of children.
And the first step of smallpox is fever, and this symptom will even accompany it to the end.
Therefore, under the same medical conditions, the mortality rate of adults is actually higher.
Man Bao didn't care that his hair was still dry, he got up and said, "Bring me my coat, let's go to the No. 3 courtyard to have a look."
The girl quickly went to get the clothes, and while helping her to dress, she said: "Miss Man, your hair is not dry yet, you will get sick if you go out to blow the cold wind right now."
"Bring me my cloak." It's fine to put on the cloak, anyway, you will enter the house when you get there, and there will be no cold wind.
When Man Bao came out with his clothes on, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang had already washed up and were talking with Yang Heshu in the lobby.
Seeing Man Bao like this, she knew she was going out.
Yang Heshu got up and wanted to take her to another hospital. He said to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang who stood up: "There are many patients there, so don't go there."
Bai Shan shook his head, "Brother Yang, we are here to help. Didn't you say that there are few doctors in the city? Although the two of us are not doctors, we can still do things like collecting medicine."
They all took the pill and were actually safer than the others.
"Call Daji and the others." He said to Yang Heshu, "We can't help with external affairs for the time being, so let's start with the patients in other hospitals."
Yang Heshu thought for a moment, and seeing his firm expression, he sighed and nodded, "Alright."
So the group went to the other courtyards in a carriage, and Yang Heshu introduced the three other courtyards to them by the way.
"These three courtyards were borrowed by me and others to accommodate patients. Some patients in the city do not want to leave home for treatment, but if they do not leave home, they may infect their family members. Some patients do not listen to the advice and do not want to be isolated at home. Instead, go out and seek medical treatment everywhere..."
This is also one of the important reasons why smallpox spread quickly in Xiazhou City.
"They dislike the crude medical sheds we built, and they don't want to live in Taoist temples and temples, so there are three other hospitals, each with two doctors, and their medical skills are the most advanced among the thirteen people. , but there are still five or six people who will be carried out of the other hospital every day."
To be carried out means death.
Those who contracted smallpox could not be buried in the ground, and had to be burned to ashes before being handed over to their families.
Although it has already been explained, but Yang Heshu persisted in doing such a thing, the people in the city still had a lot of grievances, originally it was just the gentry expressing their dissatisfaction.
In the past few days, even ordinary people have been mobilized. Even if Yang Heshu has been sending people to hide in the crowd to do ideological work, and he has been rushing to the front line, he still cannot suppress this situation.
So in the past few days, the defenses in the city have become stricter, fearing that someone will break through.
only…
Yang Heshu rubbed his forehead, and said to the three of them: "Now even the army has smallpox, and there have been more sick soldiers in the past two days. General Gong Shao and I are not sure how long we can last."
Man Bao said: "Physician Lu has a prescription for treating smallpox in his hand. It was modified during a major epidemic in Jinzhou. It is the best prescription we know so far. As long as the medicine can keep up with it, there should be a 60 to 70% chance of it. .”
Yang Heshu lifted his spirits, "Really?"
Man Bao nodded.
Yang Heshu murmured for a while, and said after a while, "I will spread the matter, and let's not talk about the success rate."
Man Bao understood that if he wanted to secure the hearts of the army and the people, he had to hide this point, or put it in a high-level way.
After saying this, we arrived at Bieyuan No. 3, which is not very far from the county government office. Man Bao put on his hat and helped Bai Shan's men to get out of the car.
There were soldiers guarding the gate, and there were quite a few of them, as many as ten of them. It was obvious that the inside and outside of the other courtyard were not very stable.
Seeing Yang Heshu bring someone in, they bowed their heads in salute, checked briefly and let him in.
Only when the people inside come out to check will it be stricter.
After entering, Yang Heshu said, "All the patients in the east courtyard are male patients, and the west courtyard is occupied by female patients. Let the central hall be the dividing line. Which side do you want to go to first?"
"Shall I go see my sister-in-law first?"
Yang Heshu walked forward without turning around, nodded and said, "Okay."
Apparently they were headed for the West Court from the beginning.
The other courtyard is still very clean, but there are cries all the time, there are adults and children crying.
Many people shuttled in the courtyard with water. Man Bao took a look at their clothes and saw that they were all uniform, so he looked at Yang Heshu.
"These are people from different families who come to take care of them. There are servants and family members. Each person can bring at most one person to take care of them. I let them wear uniform clothes so that they can be distinguished when they come in and out."
They serve people closely and are likely to spread smallpox, so they cannot easily enter and exit.
Man Bao nodded, followed Yang Heshu and continued to walk in, he said: "Some people have had acne, but most of them haven't. During this period, there have been people who are serving have been infected with acne, so I think prevention and treatment are also important. It's very important, but the doctors can't come up with a good prescription."
