Chapter 246: Caring is chaos

Su Chen said that he had a way to treat smallpox, but Peng Jingqing didn't believe it at all, because smallpox is a disease that is very contagious, and it has occurred in all dynasties since ancient times, but he has never heard of any miracle doctor who can completely cure this disease.

Now at the end of the five dynasties and the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the war in various places has not completely ended, the level of medical care and sanitation is not high, and the control of diseases and plagues is quite weak.

Therefore, in the dynasties five generations ago, every year of great catastrophe and great change, the emperor needed to lead his ministers to sacrifice to heaven for their sins, to take the initiative to bear the punishment of heaven, to pray to heaven, and to declare that "all sins will be inflicted on me, and do not hurt the people", so as to appease people's hearts.

Although Peng Jingqing knew that Su Chen had some skills, his poems were written very well, and he was a great talent; He also knows some medical skills, but after all, he is only eighteen years old, no matter how good his medical skills are, can he be more powerful than his father? But the ancestors of the Su family have never heard of anyone who can treat smallpox!

"Human life is at stake, it's a big matter, Su Chen, you can't mess around this time." Peng Jingqing shook his head and became serious.

Su Chen said: "But someone has to heal!" ”

When Peng Jingqing heard this, he saw that he was going to save the person suffering from smallpox, and suddenly nervously grabbed his palm and said: "I don't allow you to go, I once heard the teacher at home mention that smallpox and the Black Death are very fast and transmissible, and many Langzhong went to save people, but they were infected by themselves and took their lives, I won't let you go!" ”

Su Chen looked at Qinqing's nervous expression, and was concerned about his safety, and suddenly felt a wave of warmth and tenderness in his heart.

It's just that Peng Jingqing's hand strength is too great, and Su Chen is gradually a little overwhelmed.

"Ah, let go of it first! Your hands are like vices, you can pinch off people's fingers! Su Chen broke free of his hand, shook it, and saw that there were some red marks.

Just now Peng Jingqing was nervous, and he was careless, so he naturally made a little stronger.

"I'm sorry, Su Chen, I hurt you." Peng Jingqing was a little embarrassed, withdrew her jade hand, and wanted to go over and pull it up to take a look, but she was worried that Su Chen was afraid of her hand strength.

Su Chen couldn't bear to blame more, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I know you care about me!" However, it is precisely because smallpox is too stubborn to be treated, once it spreads from outside the city into the city, or even inside the city of Runzhou, how many people will die in this city? Runzhou City and Jinling City are not far apart, and merchants come and go closely, so it cannot be ruled out that smallpox has spread to Jinling City at the same time. Therefore, the spread of smallpox must be stopped, otherwise, tens of thousands of people in Jiangnan will die of the plague, and the Tang State is already in danger of facing a strong enemy in the north, and it is really unable to bear the scourge caused by this natural disaster. ”

Peng Jingqing couldn't help but ask: "But, are you really sure to cure smallpox?" ”

Su Chen has not operated it personally, although he knows the concept of cowpox, but how to get cowpox, how to plant the human body, and then produce an immune effect, it takes a clinical process, and it will take a few days of preparation and testing at the earliest, so he is not completely full.

"If you have an idea, you still need to verify it, Qinqing, I understand your concerns, but the family and the country, for scholars, is a feeling that cannot be erased in the heart after all, as a doctor, I can't watch the people of the Tang Kingdom, a large number of people die, ten rooms and nine empty, tortured by smallpox, I should contribute!"

After Peng Jingqing heard this, his eyes looked at him quietly, revealing a look of admiration, and his heart was already very moved.

In the face of smallpox, not to mention the scholars, even the doctors are helpless, lest they avoid it in time, the best way for the imperial court to deal with this disease is to seal and seal the city, otherwise when the source of the virus spreads, the people who have already fallen ill can only fend for themselves, because there are no medical conditions to fight the plague disease in ancient times.

But at this juncture, Su Chen said some national righteousness, family and country feelings, and the vision and height of the station, which is unattainable, Peng Jingqing is a chivalrous person, the most important hero in the past, standing in front of Su Chen at this time, listening to him say this, he has long admired it in his heart.

Where is there still the demeanor of a heroine, and she instantly became a little fan girl, a star-chasing girl.

"Su Chen, you are so great!" Peng Jingqing couldn't help but grab one of his arms, with a bit of admiration, this time he surprisingly didn't use force, but changed to a girl's coquettish posture.

When Su Chen heard Qinqing's praise, he immediately felt proud for no reason, and he also knew a lot of other righteous and awe-inspiring words, such as what "people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao" and so on. However, he felt that the most important thing was not to brag in front of the woman, but to act quickly and get the preventive medicine planted with cowpox before the plague spread.

According to his memory, the best way to fight smallpox is to inoculate people with cowpox to develop immune resistance, so that they will not suffer from smallpox.

Cowpox, on the other hand, is an acute infection caused by the smallpox virus in cattle, and its symptoms are usually local ulcers in the area where the cow is shedding. The virus can be transmitted to humans through contact, and is more common in milkmen and slaughterhouse workers, and pimples appear on the skin of patients who slowly develop into blisters, pustules, and other symptoms.

If a person is infected with the virus, they will only experience mild discomfort and develop resistance against the vaccinia virus.

Since the vaccinia virus has the same antigenic properties as the smallpox virus that causes smallpox disease in humans, people can also acquire immunity against smallpox virus after vaccinia vaccination.

Between the 17th and 18th centuries, the total number of European deaths from smallpox in a hundred years was about 150 million, which is quite terrifying.

After comforting Peng Jingqing, Su Chen returned to the study and began to think about how to obtain a cow with smallpox, but he could not find it in the city, and he had to go to Lengyan Town, where the plague occurred, to find a cow with smallpox virus before he could conduct the test.

This matter is difficult to implement on his own, because the situation outside the city is too dangerous, he goes out alone, there are no protective measures, and he does not know that those people outside the city have been infected, and once they get sick, it will be difficult to cure.

Su Chen thought about it again and again, but decided to wait for Governor Peng to come back, ask him about the specific situation of Lengyan Town, and then put forward a plan to treat smallpox, and asked Governor Peng to cooperate and send someone to find the sick cow, so that he didn't have to go to the dangerous place in Lengyan Town in person.

"A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, and righteousness comes down to it, but he can't really be careless!" Su Chen still cherishes his life, he will never act recklessly, and really sacrifice his life to save the common people.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
