Man Bao took out a concave tile the size of a fingernail, pulled out a thick short needle, and pricked his finger. She looked up at the patient. Because he had the needle lying on his stomach, there were wounds on his back and head. He had a needle, so he didn't dare to move. Naturally, he didn't know what Zhou Man had done.
Sensing that his finger was pressed several times, he didn't dare to move, thinking that Zhou Man was getting an injection.
Man Bao took the blood, and put the things in the classroom under the cover of the quilt, and was about to press his fingers with gauze to stop the bleeding, when Man Bao saw that his fingers were yellowing, and the nails were still black.
Man Bao seems to have seen it on No. 121.
Man Bao frowned slightly, because the selected ones were all slaves. When taking care of their bodies, they were too hygienic. They were not only asked to wash their hair and bathe, and put on clean clothes, but also let them clean their fingernails and toenails. repaired.
During this period of time, they didn't have to do any work. They basically just ate, chatted and basked in the sun. Their nails were cut twice. How could they be so dirty
Man Bao put down his hand, turned to look at another person's hand, and found that his fingers were also a little yellow, and there were dirty things in his nails.
Man Bao frowned and asked the two of them, "What did you do yesterday?"
The two lying on their stomachs looked puzzled, "We didn't do anything."
Man Bao paused and asked, "Do you recognize Fang Xu?" Fang Xu is No. 121.
The two of them didn't dare to move their necks, so they could only say repeatedly: "I know, I know, we often eat together."
"Were you together yesterday?"
"yes."
Xiao Yuan was waiting for someone to discuss the prescription and came in when Man Bao asked the two of them, "What did the three of you do yesterday? Let's talk about it after you got up."
The two said with some anxiety: "I didn't do anything, I just washed, ate, and walked around. We didn't go out, and we didn't dare to approach the fence."
Man Bao asked: "I see that your fingernails are a bit dirty, how did you get them?"
"Oh, I guess it was done during the gate straw."
"What are you doing with the straw?"
"Feed the cow," the two said, "Isn't there a cow in the cowshed not far away? We saw that the man who took care of the cow was too busy, so we helped him."
Xiao Yuanzheng's complexion changed slightly, he lowered his head and Zhou Man said to Eleven, then stepped forward and asked: "You are just slushy, haven't you approached the cow?"
The two were questioned repeatedly, and they became a little scared, and quickly denied: "No, we didn't go near the cow."
Physician Lu slapped the table angrily, "If you don't tell the truth, tell me, what are you doing in the cowshed? If you don't tell the truth, let someone come up to serve you directly."
Xiao Yuanzheng glanced at him, implying that he should keep it a little tighter, and that there should be a limit to intimidating people. Now that they are so sick, don't they say, can they really drag people down to hit the board
Unexpectedly, before he could take back his warning eyes, the person lying on the bed cried out in tears: "I say, I say, we all say."
One said: "We really went to feed the cows. They all said that the cows with pox would not be taken outside. When we finally left, these cows would be divided among us."
He said: "We thought that although this cow has had smallpox, we have also got it, so we are not afraid. If we can get a cow back, it will be convenient for farming and working. I, we will go and see."
The other continued: "There are seven cows in the cowshed, and they need to eat a lot of straw every day. They have to mix it with beans after the sluice gate is passed. The soldiers who take care of the cows have only one hand, so we went to help. , In fact, we didn’t do much, we just picked up some straw and stirred up two buckets of fodder for them to eat.”
Xiao Yuanzheng asked them, "How many cows do you feed with your own hands?"
"Just, just the two ends."
Man Bao asked, "There are seven cows in total, why do you only feed two?"
"Those two oxen are cooked, which is different from the other five oxen. The other five oxen looked bulky. We all felt that it was not easy to plow the land, so we didn't feed them."
Xiao Yuanzheng turned around and left, Man Bao also wanted to follow, Xiao Yuanzheng ordered: "Stay here and watch them do the needles, and go over after the needles are finished."
Man Bao can only stay.
Man Bao sat on a chair and watched them.
The two were very nervous and asked sweatingly, "My lord, can't we touch the cow?"
Man Bao said: "It is reasonable to say that there is no hindrance. You have already developed pox, but... But the pox has not healed yet, and the antibodies in the body may not have formed yet. Have you ever touched the pox on the cow?"
"No," the two immediately said, "We have acne on our bodies, and this thing looks disgusting, why would we touch it?"
They said: "We just touched its neck, mouth and nose, and avoided its acne rash."
When Man Bao heard this, he was speechless for a long time.
Seeing her not speaking for a long time, the two of them felt uneasy, "Big, my lord?"
Man Bao said: "There is also our negligence in this. I thought that you have already been vaccinated and there is no need to avoid it, but it turned out that we were wrong."
Man Bao calculated the time, pulled out the needle for them when they arrived, and asked, "Apart from the three of you, who else has touched the people in the cowshed?"
The two looked at each other, lowered their heads under Zhou Man's gaze, and said several names.
This is everyone they know.
Man Bao nodded, touched their body temperature and got up to find Xiao Yuanzheng and others.
They were standing in the cowshed, they had already understood the situation, Xiao Yuan said: "The seven cows all have pox, these two cows just got pox the day before yesterday, yesterday was the time when the high fever broke out."
"Is it because of this that you got infected?"
Xiao Yuanzheng: "Not necessarily, we have to continue to check, let's check everyone first."
The etiology is the most difficult thing to determine. People are not roundworms in their stomachs. They can see the things inside and know the whole process of their illness from the beginning. Vicious things can only be guessed.
Xiao Yuan was telling the guards of the cowshed, "Be careful, no one is allowed to approach the cowshed."
He turned around and took everyone back, and said to Zhou Man: "Continue to investigate, group all those with similar illnesses together, and see how many recurrences occur in total."
The four of them had been busy for a whole day and looked at all the patients very well. Finally, they sat on a chair and gathered together. A sign of recurring pox."
Xiao Yuan was writing it down, and Man Bao said: "I asked them, there are twelve people who have entered the cowshed recently, except for the three of them, the others are not abnormal at present."
"A total of 67 people have confirmed that the acne scabs will fall off when they mature, and 58 people have matured."
Imperial Physician Liu sighed, "It's almost there."
Man Bao nodded, "Based on the ratio of the number of people on both sides, cowpox has not failed, but now that there are deaths, it is not considered a success."
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "Find out the cause of the disease. In a few days, the cowpox will mature, and the next batch of people will be vaccinated."
Man Bao and Imperial Physician Liu responded.
