Bai Shan was also shocked, and asked, "Do you want to test it with smallpox?"
"certainly!"
Man Bao made sure that everyone's acne had subsided, so he prepared smallpox scabs and asked them to test whether they would still be infected with smallpox.
This is the last step. When Man Bao brought the prepared smallpox scab, the six of them were sitting together, looking nervously at the bowl in her hand.
I heard that they are scabs from people. In the past, let alone touching them, as long as they heard that there was smallpox somewhere, they would like to stay away.
But they have already been exposed to the scabs of cows, and now they will be exposed to human...
Thinking about it this way, the six people were not very nervous, and they all waited in line.
Man Bao put the adjusted cotton cloth in their noses for them, and she said: "Leave it in the evening and take it off after six hours. Usually, the result will be known in three to five days, but we usually leave people behind." Ten days depends on the situation, if you don't get smallpox after ten days, it means the vaccination is successful, and you won't be infected with smallpox in the future."
The six people swallowed their saliva and asked, "Then, what if the previous cowpox didn't work?"
Man Bao's eyes were fixed, and he said: "Then you will get acne again, and this time it will be much more dangerous."
This is equivalent to being vaccinated against human pox. This Man Bao has experience, but their health is not as good as that of the previous prisoners.
Thinking about it this way, Man Bao also became a little nervous, and asked Bai Shan, "Is the medicinal material we prepared not enough?"
Bai Shandao: "There are some in Xizhou City, buy everything you need."
Man Bao sighed, "Yes."
Both of them waited nervously for the result, which made Bai Erlang, who came to visit them, a little nervous and asked, "How are you doing now?"
Man Bao said: "Very good, there is no response yet, but it's only the second day now, wait a few more days and see."
Bai Erlang thought about it for a while and said, "If it succeeds, the next test will be faster, right?"
Man Bao nodded, "The scabs of cowpox are ready-made, so there is no need to wait again. The second batch of tests can be carried out after this confirmation."
And because of the previous experience, the second test speed will definitely be faster.
Bai Erlang said happily: "Then our speed must be faster than that of the army. The good news came back yesterday that General Ashina went down to the three cities of Kucha and is already approaching the capital of the King of Kucha."
Man Bao asked him, "We are faster than the army, what do you want to do with the rest of the time?"
Bai Erlang chuckled and said, "I heard that when it gets colder, there may be snow on the desert, and the snow on the sand dunes is especially beautiful."
When Bai Shan heard this, his spirits lifted, "There is little water in the desert, so it's not easy to snow, right?"
Snow is the same as rain, and there will be less rain after winter.
"Sir, he said that he watched the sky at night and felt that there should be rain in the Western Regions this year. If it gets colder, won't the rain turn into snow? It will definitely snow."
Bai Shan turned his head and said to Man Bao: "Otherwise, let them build a yard next to it, anyway, it is built with yellow mud, and the speed is very fast, so the speed of the experiment will be faster."
Man Bao: "Can the people in the Duhufu agree?"
She didn't have any objections, at worst, she would call Bai Erlang and the others to help when she was too busy.
However, we still have to wait until the experiment proves that cowpox is really useful before starting the next experiment. Otherwise, if it is useless, then...
Man Bao shook his head, temporarily suppressing this thought.
Bai Shan had already pondered and said: "I should agree, I will take Liu Huan to ask."
He said: "Recently, we have been in contact with them a lot, probably because General Guo had told us before leaving that they were still kind to us."
Adding Liu Huan, it shouldn't be a big problem. It's only two yards, and it only took two days of work, and the things added to the house are not expensive.
He said: "I heard that General Ashina and the Ministry of Households want a second batch of food and grass."
So even if it was General Guo, he wouldn't offend Liu Huan too much at the moment.
Even if they are thousands of miles away from the capital, they cannot sue Liu Shangshu at any time, but the power of a fox and a tiger is enough.
Sure enough, Bai Shan took Liu Huan to the Duhu Mansion for a walk, and when he came out, he not only added two yards to them, but also asked them for a lot of rice, noodles, vegetables and meat, and the chickens raised in the yard changed again. There are too many, and there are old hens who can place orders.
The sheep grazing outside the yard have also been added several times.
There is no way, Bai Shan wants a lot of meat, and he said that the soldiers who will be sent later will have to be raised for a period of time, six people in one yard, and eighteen in three yards.
Eighteen people eat meat twice a day, which is quite a lot. He asked for more, it must be fresh meat every day.
The Protectorate's Mansion is too lazy to send them fresh meat every day. It's a place with smallpox, so it's so easy to get in and out
So simply drive a dozen sheep to them, and let them watch and kill them.
Nie Canjun, who was in charge of guarding the patients, twitched his lips when he saw this, and said to Bai Shan, "They are lazy, but we can kill them ourselves, and we can also use mutton bones to make soup, which is even more delicious than mutton."
Bai Shan simply handed over the task of killing and herding sheep to Nie Canjun, and went to the barracks to pick eighteen people to live in the two newly built courtyards.
Man Bao took Zhou Liru to give them a pulse and prescribed medicinal food, and began to nourish their bodies.
Eighteen people thought they would get smallpox when they came here, but they had to eat delicious food for a few days first, so they waited anxiously while eating, and stood on tiptoe every day to look at the yard next door.
No one is allowed to enter that yard easily, and the people inside are also not allowed to come out. I heard that they are being vaccinated.
The eighteen people swallowed, and couldn't help asking when the soldiers came to deliver the food, "Brother, are the people in the next yard still alive?"
The soldiers guarding them knew that they were not prisoners, but soldiers like them, and that they were now disabled, and all they could ask for was to go back to their hometowns. The soldiers guarding them were very polite to them. Well done, if you don’t believe me, just stand in the yard and yell over there and you’ll know.”
They are all yellow mud houses, and there is no sound insulation at all. You can hear farts in the yard next door.
It was just when they first arrived, they would be in a daze on the bed after eating every day, not even daring to speak too loudly, otherwise the neighbors would have noticed it early.
When the eighteen people heard this, they paused and asked, "Can you shout?"
The soldier put down the food and bowls and chopsticks and said: "Shout, yes, wash the dishes by yourself after eating. Mr. Zhou said, you have nothing to go out for a walk, except that you can't go near the yard, you can go anywhere. We put the sheep in It’s on the hillside, if you have nothing to do, you can help us take a look.”
"Not brothers, aren't we here to catch smallpox? Why are we just eating?"
"What smallpox is it? It's a kind of smallpox!" The soldier emphasized: "Master Zhou loves you so much, you have to raise your body before planting, so that you can carry the day's smallpox. Anyway, there is no fruit over there. Take care of your body, it will be your turn when their side recovers and your body also recovers."
