Compared with the patients in the next ward who had a high fever from time to time, or some people who developed pox slowly, the five cows being tested in the cowshed were much smoother.
They should be the luckiest of the three batches of cows. They didn't feel bad after being vaccinated, and they still had delicious beans to eat. So Man Bao and Doctor Lu went to see them every day, and they all wagged their tails happily. He is obedient when he can go out for a walk, but he really likes to eat the grass in the field outside.
It was green grass that had just grown not long ago, so tender that Man Bao wanted to eat it when he saw them eating.
It looks really delicious.
They are so happy. It is conceivable that this time the acne is not uncomfortable. Doctor Lu only felt a change in temperature once, and it was only slightly hot. He didn't need to prescribe medicine. They drank more water and went out to eat. They like to eat Grass, and eat oily soybeans when I come back, and the work of two meals will be better again.
Moreover, the amount of pox produced by each cow is not very large. Among the two batches of cows that were tested before, the one with the least pox had hundreds of pox. According to my calculations, the cow with the largest amount of pox had sixty-seven, while the other cows had between fifty-three and sixty-five.
The pox output of the previous two batches of cows was directly reduced by half, or even more.
what does that mean
For imperial physicians, they judged the degree of toxicity based on the amount of smallpox and the reaction when pox appeared, and this batch of cattle was the least toxic batch in terms of both quantity and reaction.
Xiao Yuanzheng and the others came to see it in person, and they were all so excited, they thought for a while and said: "Look closely, the new batch of people don't have to wait for this group to fully recover before being vaccinated. .
The speed was very fast. On the fifth day, the last pimple was completely mature and scabbed, so Man Bao and Lu Taiyi started the journey of squeezing the pimple again.
Occasionally, when I almost vomited, I went to the next ward area to check on the patient's condition, picked out the cured ones, then put aside those who were about to recover, and finally focused on those who were still having fever and acne.
This time, Man Bao didn't ask for leave to see Wang Ruile until he had squeezed out all the vaccinia and prepared it. Her condition was stable, and it was getting better steadily. In seven days, she received acupuncture and took medicine, and her complexion has slightly improved. .
Man Bao was satisfied after reading it, so he said to Doctor Liu, "From today onwards, acupuncture will be changed to every other day."
Wang Ruile was a little disappointed when she heard that, during this time, she and Mrs. Tang had passed on the news through Doctor Liu. If it was changed to the next day, the news would only be the next day.
Man Bao drove them out as usual, taught Liu Sanniang the acupuncture method, left another prescription, and told Liu Sanniang, "When you go back, you should record the pulse case and the prescription for consideration, and write a letter to Brother Wu if you have any questions. He brought it in for me."
She said: "Some prescriptions, you may not be able to comprehend them for a while, but after reading them for a long time and thinking about them a lot, you will understand their advantages and disadvantages."
Liu Sanniang nodded seriously, and asked, "Master, when will I invite you next time?"
After thinking for a while, Man Bao said: "Call me when her pulse becomes dull and dry. If not, this acupuncture method and this prescription can be used all the time."
Aunt Ma pricked up her ears to listen outside, remembered it in her heart, and planned to write it back and pass it back, but this was not enough, so when Zhou Man came out, she immediately went up to ask, "Physician Zhou, how is my wife?" ?”
"Slightly better."
She thought for a while and said: "If she was a dry well before, and only the slightly moist soil and stones at the bottom were angry, but the bottom of the well was still leaking at that time, and the anger was constantly leaking out, then it is the bottom of the well now. The loopholes are closed, anger no longer leaks out, and there is a shallow spoonful of water at the bottom of the well."
Aunt Ma was stunned, even Liu Sanniang, and couldn't help asking, "Master, how much water does she usually need to be healthy?"
"Water is life and vitality, which represents the future life. At her age, it is normal to have more than half of the well water. At least it must be as deep as it can submerge two adults connected head to toe. Otherwise, It will affect your life in the future. On the surface, it seems to be better, but it is only superficial."
Aunt Ma couldn't help sighing, "Imperial Physician Zhou is indeed a well-known little miracle doctor in the capital."
Man Bao was praised, even if the other party was a bad person, she couldn't help smiling at him.
Mrs. Tang remained silent all the time, and after sending Man Bao out, she couldn't help asking, "Her... Will it affect her future life?"
Man Bao said: "It's impossible to say that there is no influence at all. She has had too many miscarriages, and the sins she suffered when she was young will be reflected in her body little by little when she gets old."
Seeing Mrs. Tang's face was serious, she comforted her: "But don't worry too much. When she gets out of the sea of suffering in the future and takes care of her, she may not be unable to make up for it."
Man Bao said: "The lifespan of a person is very strange. It is affected by the body, diet, water and soil, and mood. How do you know that a well-maintained sick child will not survive a healthy person who eats and drinks without moving?"
Madam Tang felt better now.
Man Bao was very curious, "It's already past Qingming, why haven't you done anything yet?"
Mrs. Tang: "...you just expect us to do it? No, how do you know what we want to do? Did you peek at my letter?"
Man Bao said confidently: "I guess, the more you plot, the more cautious you will be. If you just get angry and support her, you know at the time that it's the best time to get angry. It's been half a month. You are still sending messages secretly, which shows how big your request is."
Mrs. Tang stretched out her hand and tapped her forehead, "I haven't learned how to be good with you Tang Xuexiong, I just know how to use my brain."
After ordering, she clasped her hands together and said, "You're right, what we're asking for is really big. We've been busy with Qingming things for the past few days, but now we can move on, and we'll see results in about a month."
Man Bao: "Is it still a month?"
Mrs. Tang shot her a sideways look and said, "You think it's easy? Several lives and lives are involved here, so don't be more cautious."
In fact, it was Mr. Tang's advice, saying that since it is going to be done, it should be done beautifully, which can not only bring justice to my sister-in-law, but also prevent her from being wronged.
That's why she held back her courage to plan so much.
Mrs. Tang couldn't see Man Bao shaking his head and sighing, so she changed the subject and said, "By the way, today is the exam for the Ministry of Rites, right?"
Man Bao sighed even more, nodded and said: "Yes, unfortunately, I can only come out for an hour, and then I will go back to Huangzhuang, and I will be vaccinated again tomorrow, so I can't stay outside for a long time."
