Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 284: More than a thousand years

Views:

A cow was led over by a soldier in white robes. Li Hong, Sun Simiao, and Yuan Tiangang, who were also all in white robes, squatted on the ground and looked up at the cow's belly slightly.

Just as Sun Simiao was about to touch the belly of the cow with his hand like a milkmaid, he was quickly stopped by Li Hong.

He took the white gloves handed over by another soldier and handed them to Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang. Then he said: "It's better to be careful. Smallpox is most likely to be infected from those ranchers who raise dairy cows." Come.”

Yuan Tiangang frowned and glanced at Li Hong, then asked, "Have you gone to the county seat to see it live?"

At this time, a soldier took out a small bench and handed it to Sun Simiao. He was so old that he could only squat down and scared Li Hong and Yuan Tiangang.

Li Hong and Yuan Tiangang stood up in a hurry, first helped Sun Simiao stand up, and then slowly let him sit down on the bench. Then they replied: "I haven't been there, but I would like to go. Look at the people around you. Which one will let me come into contact with them? If I really want to force my way in, a lot of people will die in front of me?"

"Then how did you guess that the smallpox was infected from those people?" Sun Simiao asked strangely while sitting on the bench.

The whole person felt a lot more relaxed at the moment. After all, he was too old. After squatting for a short while, the whole person felt that his blood was not smooth.

“Not only did I know who was the first person to be infected with smallpox, I also knew that they most likely slept in the same room as cows at night, plus they had too much close contact with cows over many years, and it was difficult not to get infected. Difficult." Li Hong said confidently.

Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang had question marks on their faces. His Highness the Crown Prince was known to be very knowledgeable, but he actually knew so much about the terminal disease of smallpox, which still surprised them.

"Then... is it okay if we have contact like this?" Yuan Tiangang looked at the cow's belly and pointed to the ulcer.

"It will be fine. As long as there is no direct contact between skin and livestock, it should be fine. And you should have the impression, old fairy, that most of the smallpox infections in this season are after the weather gets cold. Now autumn is turning to winter. In the season when the temperature changes to cold, people do not pay as much attention to personal hygiene as when the weather is hot. If the clothes are not warm, the blood circulation will slow down due to the cold weather, and the probability of getting smallpox will be much higher. "Li Hong talked confidently and calmly, making Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang feel that their presence here was a bit unnecessary.

Sun Simiao also took out a small notebook, thought deeply for a while, and then wrote something down on the paper. At this time, no one would disturb him.

As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. What's more, Sun Simiao, an "antique" who is more than a hundred years old, no matter how strong and strong his body is, his memory is severely regressed today.

"Is there anything else?" Sun Simiao stopped writing, looked at his notes carefully, and after making sure he had written down everything, he asked again.

"Well, did you see the ulcer on the cow's abdomen? After the cow is infected with smallpox, it is because the cowpox in this ulcer has immunity against the terminal disease of smallpox. Therefore, after the cow is infected with the terminal disease of smallpox, through its own immune resistance, It can cure the terminal disease of smallpox.”

"Hmm... then what should we do?" Sun Simiao looked solemn, like a humble and studious scholar.

"ah… ?"

"How can you inoculate the cowpox you mentioned into humans?"

"Huh? I don't know."

"Don't you think this cowpox can cure the terminal disease of smallpox?"

"Yes, the terminal disease of smallpox can be cured, and people will only experience slight discomfort and will return to normal in two or three days."

"Then how should cowpox be inoculated into patients?"

"ah… ?"

"What are you talking about? This is a matter of life and death, so you can't joke about it." Sun Simiao was a little angry.

"Ah? I don't know." Someone looked at Sun Simiao, whose beard was starting to curl up, in a confused and innocent manner.

"You don't know? You don't know that you just said such a long paragraph? Is it all made up?" The beard really started to tremble.

"Ah? I just know that cowpox can cure the terminal disease of smallpox." Someone still looked innocent.

Sun Simiao came to his senses. He had known a theory for a long time. As for whether it could be done, he not only had no idea, but he didn't even know how to inoculate it.

"Then you only know this after talking lively for a long time?" Sun Simiao looked at Li Hong in disbelief.

"Ah, that's what it says on Baidu."

"Then... where is that peerless book? Where did you throw it, but can you still find it?" Sun Simiao felt heartbroken. How could he just throw away such a good book? Could it be... is the royal family the cradle of prodigal sons

Someone looked blank: "Looking for... I can't find it."

It would be great if I could help them provide this, so what else do you want? If you know how to do it, why bother with them

Sun Simiao looked at the notes he had just memorized, then looked at someone's innocent face, and then frowned and looked at the cowpox on the belly of the cow. He suddenly felt that he only knew a principle when he remembered the notes, but the most important prescription for curing diseases and saving lives was No!

Li Hong looked at Sun Simiao's helpless and regretful expression, how could he not understand how heartbroken the Medicine Prince was now.

A sentence popped up in his mind that he used to express Sun Simiao's mood at the moment in his previous life: His pants are really off, just show me this!

"His Royal Highness, you just said that you were punishing the common man who escaped because he delayed treating the disease and saving people. Now you have to punish yourself too? How can you throw away such a precious book? Woolen cloth?"

"Uh... I wanted to bring it, but... but the conditions don't allow it."

"What condition or condition can you find in three days?"

“….”

"Five days?"

“….”

"Seven days?"

How could there be such an evil person in this world? Li Hong felt that he somewhat understood why his father was willing to let Sun Simiao leave Chang'an.

"Then how long do you think it will take to find it? The old man will think of a solution here first, and you can go back to Chang'an to look for it. This matter of human life is at stake, but nothing can go wrong." There is such a prince in the stall, and he cannot be beaten or scolded, nor can he say anything. Harsh words can make you disrespectful, and Sun Simiao was so angry that he could do nothing.

"This...this...if you really want to find this..."

"How about it?"

"It probably won't be found in a few days or years. It will take more than a thousand years to find the book called "Baidu"."

"Tiangang, beat him out! I will risk my life. If the court asks for the crime, I will bear it alone!" Sun Simiao, who had a beard like a halberd, was so angry that he could no longer be angry.

So, Yuan Tiangang smiled at someone and politely asked him to go out. He was not allowed to cause trouble again, lest the old god would be upset when he saw him.

A few soldiers were left behind for the old god to dispatch, but Li Hong and Yang Wu were locked out.

As for the carefully decorated house behind him, Sun Simiao did not intend to let him in in the future, even if he later built the first hospital in the Tang Dynasty on this house with his own money.

Li Hong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Sun Simiao driving him out. He also blamed himself for not explaining clearly at the beginning and giving Sun Simiao so much hope, and then he threw him from the clouds to the ground again. Anyone else would have done it. You have to be angry with yourself, let alone the compassionate Immortal Sun.

Patting Yang Wu on the shoulder, Li Hong said with satisfaction: "Don't take it personally. The old immortal has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty and even to the entire human race. There is no harm in scolding him. As long as he can study Just tell me how to vaccinate."

Stretching, the two people, who were wearing the same white robes as Yang Wu, stood on the deserted road. It seemed that they had no choice but to discuss with Sun Simiao whether to build a hospital or not. It was better to wait until the terminally ill smallpox patient could be treated. Let’s talk about it after it can’t be cured.

With nothing to do, Yang Wu asked if he wanted to write a memorial to Chang'an. Li Hong nodded and asked Yang Wu to inform others to write it.

Then the two of them wore conspicuous white robes, masks on their faces, hoods on their heads, and gloves on their hands. They walked swaggering towards Pei Wanying's place like two Bai Wuchangs. Such a good outfit was almost an opportunity. If they lost it again, It would be too stupid.

Lantian County is not that big, but before the two of them arrived, they were stopped by Zong Chuke, who was also wearing white clothes, and the Lantian County Magistrate.

The four Bai Wuchangs gathered together, and Li Hong suddenly felt that such a scene was too unlucky and disgraceful. It looked like they were wearing mourning clothes. It looked awkward.

Thinking about the fact that this county and the villages are full of Bai Wuchang wearing white clothes, no matter how good the people's psychological quality is, they probably won't think that this unlucky outfit is here to solve their terminal illness.

The ability to avoid being frightened to death by these ghost-like Bai Wuchang is already considered a good enough job in the comfort work of Zong Chuke and the Lantian County Magistrate.

"How did you recognize me?" Li Hong took off his mask. Even Zong Chuke could recognize him like this. Does this guy know X-ray vision

"Master, with your majestic temperament and your strong and powerful body, it's hard for me to recognize you even if I want to." Zong Chuke and Li Hong were very familiar with each other, and they seemed to have a strong voice when they spoke. Much more relaxed.

But the kid from the Palace of Hell next to him seemed to have seen Lord Yama. He was wearing this white robe, but his body was like sieving chaff and he was trembling non-stop.

Seeing Li Hong looking over, he hurriedly took off his gloves and mask and saluted His Highness the Crown Prince.

Before taking action, I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say relaxedly: "Okay, in extraordinary times, there is no need to stick to etiquette. You have done a good job in comforting me for most of the day, but you still have to continue to work hard. By the way, Zong Chuke, Find strips of fabric in bright colors, preferably red and blue.”

Speaking of this, Li Hong couldn't help but think of Pei Wanying in a light blue dress.
