Chapter 245 New Crisis
Peng Zeliang came to Su Mansion to visit his daughter. He was still jumping around the house the moment before. Qingqing, who was radiant, heard his father's voice sounding in the yard, and then he rushed to the bed and pretended to be sick.
A depressed posture.
Such a scene made the personal maid and the mother-in-law laugh and cry, but there was no way.
Although they had to listen to the prefect, they did not dare to sell their owners for honor and offend the eldest lady they served. Therefore, they could only pretend that they didn't see it, and even helped hide it.
"Qingqing, I'm here to see you for my father." After Peng Zeliang entered the door, he greeted his baby daughter.
Peng Qingqing said weakly: "Dad, why did you come? If you come a few days later, Qingqing will..."
"Cough cough!" Su Chen coughed a few times behind him, as if reminding Peng Qingqing: If you have poor acting skills, don't add acting to yourself, otherwise it will be easier to reveal the situation.
"That's it?" Peng Zeliang was confused and walked beside the bed and asked worriedly.
"I can't sleep well and I won't eat well." Peng Qingqing reiterated the serious words, saying it was not painful or itchy.
Peng Zeliang then breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and looked at his beloved daughter acting coquettishly to him, but as a father, he felt soft in his heart, reached out to touch her hair, and said with a smile: "How have you been recuperating? You have recovered from the injury here.
In half a month, it's time to move back home."
"Oh... my daughter still feels a little uncomfortable. Let Su Chen take a pulse and prescribe it at any time. It will be more inconvenient after she goes back to stay..." Peng Qingqing stroked her temples with her jade hand, looking weak.
"It's okay, let him go there for two days and just follow up for you. Your injury was caused to save him. He wouldn't even pay for this trouble or hard work, right?" Peng Zeliang looked up and glared at Su Chen, meaning
It was obvious that he made his statement.
At this time, Peng Qingqing blocked her side face with one hand, and her other eye kept winking, asking him to refuse his father and keep him.
Su Chen was stunned and hesitated. Which side should he stand on this god in a fight?
Prefect Peng just accepted him, and if he offended him immediately, it seemed that he had left a bad impression on his elders.
But if you don’t help Qingqing, you will be a troublesome thing to be blamed by her afterwards.
Just after he was in a dilemma, suddenly, a rush of running came from the yard. A detective rushed into the yard in panic and shouted, "Master, Magistrate... It's not good, something big happened.
…”
Peng Zeliang stood up and looked unhappy when he heard this. What would happen so panic? What big thing can happen in Runzhou City?
Could it be that the Song army sneaked into the ferry and forced troops to go south?
He came to the door of the main room and saw the constable named Zheng Xiu. His face turned cold and he shouted, "What happened? What kind of discipline is it like to be so panicked?"
Zheng Xiu clasped his fists and said, "Return to the prefect, there were suddenly many deaths in Lengyan Town, twenty miles south of the city, with similar symptoms. Youli sent someone to report that the deceased had chickenpox on their bodies, and the local doctor speculated
, It seems like a smallpox plague happened."
"Smallipore!" Peng Zeliang's face changed. If such plague and disease start to rage, it would be like nine out of ten rooms and there is no cure to save him.
In addition to the strong contagion, the main reason is that the mortality rate is high. Contacts must be isolated as soon as possible, the bodies must be disposed of, and smallpox virus must be prevented from entering Runzhou City. Otherwise, the people in the city will be so dense that it may be unimaginable to be infected.
"Hurry up and go back to the yamen, mobilize all the constables and yamen runners, and follow the official to Lengyan Town; in addition, block the news and cannot be announced to the public, so as not to cause panic."
Peng Zeliang realized the crisis of the matter and was awakened by alcohol. He made a quick decision to call the order, rushed out of the door, got on the carriage, and returned to the yamen first to prepare for mobilization.
Su Chen felt a stern when he heard the word "smallpox". This is the oldest and one of the most mortality-rate infectious diseases. It is highly contagious and has a serious condition. People who have not suffered from smallpox or have not been vaccinated with smallpox vaccine can be infected.
, mainly manifested in severe viremia and high mortality rate after infection.
Smallpox clinical manifestations include severe and mild smallpox. The mortality rate of severe smallpox is about one-quarter, and nearly half of the cases have fusion rashes, and most of them will have bleeding; the mortality rate of mild smallpox is very low, only one percent.
This smallpox virus is a type of poxvirus. There is no specific medicine to treat after being infected. Patients will have pockmarks on their faces after recovery. "Smallpox" is named after it.
In history, smallpox was the most raging period. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, because history was in the fifth small ice age and the climate was abnormal, the virus would break out due to abnormal weather. Smallpox caused a large number of people to die in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
, even had a serious impact on the governance in the early Qing Dynasty. According to the "Qing Palace Archives Revealed", among the ten emperors after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, Shunzhi and Tongzhi died directly from smallpox. Although Kangxi and Xianfeng were lucky enough to pick them up from the claws of smallpox
But his life was left with pockmarks on his face.
The rulers of the early Qing Dynasty were troubled by smallpox. Nurhaci's second son, Prince Li, Daishan, had three sons of smallpox. For the Manchus at the beginning of entering the pass, smallpox was almost a terminal illness. At that time, people were afraid of acne like tigers, and it was popular.
At that time, they could only avoid negatively, but smallpox was hard to guard against, and most of the passive avoiders were still not immune. The popularity of smallpox caused the death rate of the Eight Banners in the early Qing Dynasty to be astonishingly high.
However, Su Chen was born in a medical family. His grandfather was an old Chinese doctor. His parents were clinical Western medicine. He also studied medicine for five years in undergraduate studies. However, when he was in graduate school, he secretly changed his major and changed his Chinese department, but for smallpox
I have also learned about it in medical books that the most basic, effective and simplest way to prevent smallpox is to inoculate cowpox.
"Su Chen, my father said just now that smallpox disease appeared outside the city?" Peng Qingqing also heard the conversation just now. She stopped pretending to be sick and got out of bed and came to Su Chen's side, asking nervously.
Su Chen nodded slightly: "The constable reported this way, and it is a big deal, so he should not be wrong."
"What should I do? I heard that smallpox and the Black Death are the two most evil plague diseases. It will not take long for me to pass into the city. Maybe there are people outside the city who don't know that they are sick.
I entered the city and spread it. What should I do?" Peng Qingqing's face turned pale, and she knew she was scared.
After all, this kind of disease has nothing to do with the strength of martial arts. She was also a little afraid of killing people invisibly.
Su Chen looked serious, thinking about how to get vaccinated with cowpox in his mind, and looked at Peng Qingqing firmly and said, "It's okay, isn't I here?"
"You?" Peng Qingqing was stunned. Judging from his opinion, is there a way?
However, for thousands of years, no one has been able to cure smallpox. Hua Tuo is alive and Bian Que is resurrected, but there is no solution. Can Su Chen do it?
"You're not kidding in the face of danger, are you?" Peng Qingqing looked suspicious.
