Chapter 36: Cholera Strikes
Outside the window, the rain was still falling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info During this time, it rained continuously, so that Zhang Taiji had to stay in the study, unable to go out and walk around, he couldn't help but feel a little bored, put down the book in his hand, came to the window, and looked at the pond in the distance, the water had overflowed the bluestone on the shore, which was where Zhang Taiji usually practiced meditation.
Footsteps sounded, Zhang Fu walked into the study with a bowl of yogurt, and looked at his walking posture, his right leg seemed to be a little inflexible. He put the small bowl on the desk and called softly: "Young master, drink this bowl of milk quickly!" Miss Ling'er made it for you herself! ā
"Ling'er? She's clumsy, she won't be as sweet and greasy as last time! Zhang Taiji tasted it: "Hmm! With the addition of cherries, it is delicious! ā
Zhang Fu saw Zhang Taiji eating in a big gulp, and a doting look appeared on his face unconsciously, and his eyes also revealed the light of fatherly love.
This 'Zhang Fu' is the scribe who was rescued from the Japanese Kou, this person was worried about the Zhang family's injuries every day, at first I thought that he was worried that the wound would suppurate and fall into disability, and when the injury improved, he was still depressed every day, only when he saw Zhang Taiji, he would have some smiles.
Zhang Taiji thought that it was because he did not bandage him well that caused the wound to suppurate, and he blamed himself very much, so he often came to see him and talked to him when he had time.
Until one day, this person knelt in front of Zhang Taiji, cursed and swore to follow Zhang Taiji as a slave, Zhang Taiji was blindfolded at that time, and he didn't understand why? But the man just couldn't get up on his knees, and asked him why he was doing this? He didn't say anything, he only said that he was dead before, and he was willing to change his name and surname from now on and start over! And asked Zhang Taiji to give him a new name and completely forget the past!
Although Zhang Taiji can't figure out his logic, some people kneel down to admit the master, this is also a very stinky thing!! Besides, this person looks good, at least he knows a foreign language! Zhang Taiji was happy in his heart, but his face pretended to reluctantly agree, and named him 'Zhang Fu', which was obtained according to the name of the housekeeper Han Fu!
"Last year, there was a drought in various places, and in some places there was no rain for months! Now it's raining heavily for days, and I'm afraid there will be floods in some places! Zhang Taiji said with some concern.
"There is no place to avoid old sickness, and the sit-ups are in vain.
Three years of crops are like clouds, and once they fail, they will be successful. Zhang Fu recited the poem in a low voice, and his face also showed sadness.
Then he shook his head and said with a smile: "Young master, a little boy, an old servant, a wasted person, how can he take care of this world's affairs?" Isn't it asking for trouble?! ā
"Fauber is wrong! In this world, people are in charge of the world's affairs, and there should be no distinction between old and young! Zhang Taiji retorted. Then he said: "This flood is a natural disaster, and manpower cannot avoid it, but if it is operated properly, we can have some benefits." ā
After Zhang Taiji finished speaking, he walked to the desk, wrote a text, checked it after writing, and handed over this piece of paper to Zhang Fu! He said, "Go and give it to my father, and if he agrees, start preparing!" ā
Zhang Fu took it, glanced at it a few times, and said, "Young master, talented!" ā
The heavy rain continued for half a month and finally stopped. Zhang Baili has been busy these days, and he has to deal with the things he has accumulated for half a month. It was dark for a long time before he got home by car, Han Yue'e had been waiting for him at the door for a long time, the two couldn't talk when they met, Zhang Baili felt uncomfortable in his abdomen, and hurriedly rushed into the thatched house..... That night, Zhang Baili had abdominal pain and diarrhea, and went to the thatched house five or six times in one night, and Han Yue'e invited Dr. Li to treat him overnight.
Dr. Li judged that it should have been caused by eating something unclean, which caused abdominal pain and diarrhea. After taking a few doses of medicine, it will be better, but two days later, I have taken a lot of medicine, but the condition is not good! Zhang Baili was sinned, he couldn't eat anything, he ate what he ate and vomited! I barely ate some liquid food, but it only took an hour to eat, and I had to go to the thatched house. This can make the whole family anxious, Dr. Li's medicine is not good, hurry up and change to another Lang Zhong to treat, there are still a lot of prescriptions, but there is no obvious effect!
On the fourth day of Zhang Baili's illness, he saw that he was a good person, but now he can only lie in bed weakly, and he needs to be fed by others when he drinks medicine! Zhang Taiji was also anxious in his heart, and suddenly remembered the medicines he had prepared, and he didn't dare to give Zhang Baili to eat, so he showed the prescription to Dr. Li, and after Dr. Li read it carefully, he gave the opinion that these prescriptions are not the right symptom with Zhang Baili's disease, but among them, 'Zhibaodan', the medicinal properties are peaceful, and the few flavors of medicine in it should have some benefits for Zhang Baili's disease. Zhang Taiji asked Han Yue's opinion, and Han Yue'e was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, plus Zhang Taiji had too many incredible performances. Finally decided to give it a try.
Zhibaodan is only the size of soybeans, and the dosage is three to five at a time. After giving the medicine to Zhang Baili to eat, everyone stayed by the bedside and waited to see the effect. An hour later, Zhang Baili's stomach gurgled. Dr. Li stepped forward to check Zhang Baili's pulse and told everyone: "The medicine I took has taken effect." "Everyone saw hope and was very happy. Zhang Baili also weakly said that he wanted to eat. That's a good thing!! So they went to the kitchen to get food.
Ling'er was very heartbroken when she saw her father being tortured by illness and suffering! So she brought a bowl of her favorite yogurt to Zhang Baili to eat, showing her filial piety to her father!
Zhang Baili's body was so weak that he could only eat some liquid food, seeing his daughter's worried appearance, he ate the food that his daughter fed to his mouth one by one, and nodded incessantly, praising his daughter for being well-behaved and sensible!
That night, Zhang Baili stopped having diarrhea. The next morning, I ate a lot of food, and my condition improved significantly. At the same time, Zhang Baili also strongly asked his daughter to make some yogurt, he especially wanted to eat it. It's too simple!! Since Zhang Taiji proposed to drink milk every day, he has raised a few cows on his manor to provide milk to several children in the family, basically providing continuous supply throughout the year. It's even easier to make yogurt, and now it's the height of summer, so the milk is filled with yeast and sealed, and it's yogurt the next day.
Zhang Baili's illness has improved, but there are other people in the family one after another, and they also have the same symptoms as Zhang Baili, at the beginning, abdominal pain and diarrhea do not stop, and then it is vomiting and diarrhea, and the doctor Lang Zhong is found to diagnose and treat, and the prescribed medicine has no effect after taking it. Fortunately, there was a lesson from Zhang Baili's past, and Zhang Taiji immediately offered his Zhibao Pill and gave it to them. I thought that the medicine would cure the disease! As a result, after those people took Zhibaodan, the symptoms were only slightly reduced, and none of them had an immediate effect like Zhang Baili!
That's weird! How can there be such a big difference in the effect of the same medicine for the same disease?
In the following days, news came one after another, and many people had the same symptoms as Zhang Baili. The disease is spreading on a large scale!!
After Zhang Taiji heard the news, a terrifying word appeared in his heart, "cholera"!! This is a big killer!! In the history of the world, there have been several large-scale cholera outbreaks that have caused countless deaths. Even before Zhang Taiji's rebirth, millions of people were infected with the disease every year, and many of them died as a result.
The reason for the analysis is that there has been a lot of rain this year, and a while ago it was a continuous heavy rain of more than ten days, which caused the water in lakes and ponds to rise sharply, the rivers to burst their banks, and floods in many places. The cholera virus is transmitted by contaminated water, and people in this era do not pay attention to food hygiene, what 'wash hands before eating and after using the toilet', these basic hygiene common sense, few rich and noble people can do it. Those ordinary people who are struggling on the verge of poverty will not pay attention to it!!
It is useless to sigh these things, the current environment is like this, it is not easy to change, Zhang Taiji can only let the people around him pay attention to personal hygiene and develop good eating habits, so as to reduce the chance of getting sick. This effect is still there, at least the friends who are with Zhang Taiji also pay attention to food hygiene under his influence, so they are not infected with this disease.
At the same time, Zhang Taiji pondered for a long time, "Why does Zhibaodan only work on Zhang Baili?" Will the others be effective? So he gave Zixuedan and Angong Niuhuang Pill to those patients respectively to see if it could have obvious effects?
