Chapter 16: Pox
Wu Xingchuan is the eldest of the four children, and he offered to plant pox first so that he could set an example for his three younger siblings.
The pox planting process is actually very simple, Zheng Wen first used a disinfectant sharp weapon on Wu Xingchuan's big arm to cross and cut two openings, in the shape of a cross, Zhao then picked up the cow pox liquid with a small bamboo slice and smeared it inside, and finally Zheng Wen bandaged the wound and completed it. Compared with the pox pulp method created by Zheng Wen, it is much safer and more effective. The pox pulp method is to put fresh pox pulp from smallpox patients into the nostrils of the inoculated subjects with cotton to cause acne and achieve the purpose of vaccination. Therefore, the method needs to directly puncture the thick pox, which is easy to leave a mark on the patient's body, and is a relatively primitive method of pox seeding, which is more toxic and dangerous.
The four children drank the medicine boiled in the space water and returned to the small hut that had been isolated separately and waited for the results of the pox.
At night, Wu Xia Zhi and Wu Chunxi first launched a high fever, and in the middle of the night, Wu Xingchuan also burned down.
Wu Nuandong had already drunk a lot of pure space water, and his physique was very different, and he had a good night's sleep. In the morning, there was a slight rash, and if Qian hadn't changed her clothes, she wouldn't have noticed, and those rashes would have disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Wu Xia Zhi had chickenpox because of his young age and weak resistance, and Zheng Wen took the opportunity to take the pox liquid for the next vaccination.
At night, Wu Nuandong was completely fine, and the remaining two brothers began to have acne. After another night, the three brothers also had a fever, the chickenpox scabbed, and the four of them completely walked out of the shadow of pea sores.
Zheng Wen and the martial arts family were surprised, because in Nuan Nuan's 'inheritance', after planting pox, there will be a high fever for three or four days, and acne for three or four days, in short, it cannot be cured without seven or eight days.
"This is the medicine doctor immortal blessing us Nuan Nuan, and it is also Nuan Nuan's good fortune to meet Brother Zheng!" The old man Wu took Zheng Wen's hand with tears in his eyes, it was impossible not to be grateful, I thought that the old martial arts family had planted it this time, but I didn't expect that the willows and flowers would be bright and another village, and I would see hope again.
Zhao also had red eyes, and silently recited the goodness of the white-bearded fairy, the good of Zheng Wen, and the good of Nuan Nuan in his heart, if it weren't for the warm face, the white-bearded fairy wouldn't have remembered to bless her family Xingchuan, and Xingchuan couldn't have a fever so quickly.
"Nuan Nuan said that the real vaccinia is to obtain the pox liquid from the patients who have successfully planted cowpox, so that the danger to the sick patients is less, I decided to plant a few patients today, it has been delayed for a long time, and I can't afford to delay it anymore." Zheng Wen didn't say polite nonsense, he was lonely for decades, he really regarded the Wu family as a relative, and he valued Wu Xingchuan's cleverness, and wanted to accept apprentices, so he had already decided to wait for the Wu family to get better and then move his family to the south to live and work in peace.
"Good!" Old Man Wu naturally had no opinion, so he called Wu Tianxin, Qian and Tian and told them. As for the autumn stop of Wu Tiande's family, he will be the master of the seeding.
Of course, the Qian family and the Zhao family wish to plant early, but only the Tian family is not willing to give up, and the whole person can't say that something is wrong.
Qian sighed, her son asked her to enlighten her daughter-in-law before, but she deliberately talked to Tian Huilan and didn't come out of anything. This daughter-in-law is arrogant, subconsciously looking down on her mother-in-law's family who is shaving in the field, and she naturally doesn't want to tell her mother-in-law, she held back along the way, but fortunately nothing big happened, otherwise how would Da Lang and Xiaoshan be sad!
Qian didn't know that it was because Tian had done something big and was uneasy that he would be terrified all day long. Tian Huilan knew that Wu Nuandong had a lot of credit for preventing the outbreak of the plague, and she also knew that a master secretly accepted Wu Nuandong as an apprentice (the old man Wu's explanation to the Wu family), and she also knew that Wu Nuandong's virtue at a young age was bewitched by the Jiang family, so she was terrified, lest she would be retributed for the bad things she had done, and the retribution would be on her husband and children.
Wu Tianchong beat the two wild boars, the big one has more than 400 catties, and the small one has 200 catties, Zheng Wen means that the Wu family should eat some good supplements, and the old man decided to sell the big wild boar, and the little wild boar ate it himself.
Early in the morning, Wu Tiande took Wu Xinghai to carry the big wild boar to the town, found a relatively large restaurant, and successfully got fifteen taels of silver.
It stands to reason that the old man shouldn't take it upon himself to divide the money that Wu Tianchong earned, but in a disaster year, no one knows what will happen on the next road, and each household will be at least guaranteed.
Because the wild boar hunted by Wu Tianchong was injured again, his family took the lion's head five taels, and the remaining ten taels, the old man, Wu Tianci and Wu Tianci were two taels per household (the unmarried son followed the family), Wu Tianxin was two taels per household, Wu Tiande was two taels per household, and finally two taels were given to Zheng Wen. Zheng Wen didn't shirk it, after all, some medicines were not picked in the mountain, and they still needed to go down the mountain to the hospital to buy them.
Fifteen taels is not much for the martial arts family, and the two families of Wuxingxia and Wuxinghai have not been divided with their parents for the time being. Wu Xinghai and Zhou Jiumei have never cared about this, but Tian Huilan has no heart to care.
After another two weeks, the six patients of the Wu family have improved one after another, and under the control of the space water from time to time, several adults of the Wu family have no signs of the outbreak of the plague, but more than a dozen people still decided to plant cowpox after the New Year and completely eradicate the arrival of pea sores.
During this period, the old man Wu took several sons to hunt a lot, and there were a lot of materials in Baiwang Mountain, and few people went to the deep mountains next to it, and wild things occasionally broke into this place to cheapen the Wu family.
Although they are all small animals such as hares and pheasants, they can't get much money, but they fill everyone's mouths, at least this year will not be bad.
With a small amount of silver, the Qian family and the Zhao family decided to take Wu Xingzhou and Wu Xia Zhi to the town to buy some dried fruits, sugar cubes, blessing posts, etc., so that the thatched house also has a bit of a festive atmosphere, and also made the children happy.
Wu Nuandong firmly rejected her aunt's kindness to take her to the town to play, and instead set her eyes on the old man. Now that the spring flowers are blooming, there must be a lot of wild vegetables and wild fruits in the mountains, even if they are not fruitful and can be eaten, they can also get some fertile fields with abundant empty seedlings in the space.
Wu Nuandong is probably the most unqualified space crossing girl, she has been traveling for a month, and the space is exactly the same as when she found it, she is not angry at all, and she has not even been able to enter the small bamboo house once.
I really don't blame her, the size of the shack is limited, she is young, her grandfather and father look at her like eyes, so they naturally don't agree with her sleeping by herself, and the toilet is guarded by a certain brother, no time, no freedom is her true portrayal.
Today, the aunts are all out, no one is looking at her, and grandpa is definitely not at ease.
Sure enough, there was no need for Wu Nuandong to mention it, just looking at the old man pitifully, the old man immediately took the initiative to mention, "Nuan Nuan!" Let's go hunting with grandpa, grandpa will catch a little wild thing for you to play with! ”
"Okay, grandpa is the best!" Wu Nuandong raised his little head with a smile and greeted the old man's gentle big hands. Don't say that Wu Nuandong is thick-skinned, she is now coquettish, tricked, cute, and pretended, if anyone says that she is not the original, who is she anxious.
Even if Wu Nuandong still misses her grandfather and grandmother who raised her since she was a child, she can already bury this emotion deep in her heart, and it will not affect and hurt the Wu family.
"Dad, you just spoil her!" Wu Tiande shook his head helplessly, beckoning Wu Chunxi to go out, as for Wu Qiuzhi, he stayed at home to continue to regulate his body, Wu Xingchuan helped take care of it, he had already begun to learn medical skills with Zheng Wen, and the first thing he learned was how to boil herbs.
"What are you afraid of, the daughter-in-law of the Xinghai family will go with me today, you can take Nuan Nuan with her, let her bring Nuan Nuan for a while, and if you don't have a score, you can add a big baby to our old martial arts family!"
Wu Xinghai listened to it and smirked, and Zhou blushed and looked at his husband embarrassedly.
Wu Nuandong puffs out her cheeks, does she still have a fertility effect!
The thatched house left Wu Tianxin and Wu Tianci, and the chickenpox marks on Wu Shanhe's body and face were not yet neat, and Tian was afraid that he would be itchy and not allowed him to go out.
The old man didn't say anything, but in his heart he began to be a little unkind to see this granddaughter-in-law, feeling that she took too much care of the small family, was too cold to the rest of the martial family, and raised the boy too delicately. However, the old man Wu has always been open-minded, and he will not rely on the old to sell the old and accuse the juniors casually, after all, the family is divided, each family has its own way, as long as the baby is not crooked, let her be!
