The outbreak occurred in Huangcaozhai, located in the middle reaches of the Hongshui River. In order to avoid the spread of the plague, Chen Ke sent troops to surround the cottage and did not allow anyone to enter or leave. This naturally caused great resistance among the villagers, but the officers and soldiers also announced that Master Chen would rush to the village within two days, and he would never leave until the epidemic was eliminated.

The mood of the villagers has stabilized slightly.

At noon two days later, Chen Ke really arrived. Huang Afu, the owner of Huangcao Village, and Shen Kuo, who arrived first, greeted him at the bottom of the mountain.

Chen Ke first expressed his condolences to Huang Afu, and then turned to Shen Kuo and said, "Why is Brother Cunzhong here?" "Shen Kuo is his baby, Chen Ke naturally won't let him take risks, he came by himself.

"Hehe......" The long-term outdoor work has made Shen Kuo dark and thin, not like the scribe when he first met. He smiled and said: "Xiaguan happened to be nearby, and after listening to the epidemic situation in the village, he felt familiar, so he dared to run over to take a look." ”

"Already seen it?" Chen Ke turned over and dismounted, the owner of the Huangzhai took the first step and went back to the village to prepare, while he and Shen Kuo walked slowly behind.

"Well, I've seen it." Shen Kuo nodded and said: "Twenty-three villagers are sick, and the onset is very urgent, most of them first have headache, back pain, chills or high fever, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, insomnia, and constipation. Three to five days after the onset of the disease, the rash begins to appear all over the body, and the earliest onset, the rash has become a red macule......"

Chen Ke has already seen a brief description in the report, and now after listening to Shen Kuo's detailed report, he has more confidence in his heart. After Shen Kuo finished speaking, he asked, "How can you see this epidemic?" ”

"Xia Guan thought that this was pox, which is commonly known as 'smallpox'." Shen Kuo lowered his voice and paused and said: ""The "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" said that the sore head and face and body, must be around the turn, like a fire sore...... In the fourth year of Yonghui, the disease spread from the west to the east and spread all over the sea. With the attitude of a scientist, he laid out his arguments one by one.

"Let's go see the patient first." Although he did not check it as expected. But for the sake of prudence, Chen Ke still has to see it with his own eyes.

"Your Excellency, you can't go up." Shen Kuo said categorically: "This disease is extremely serious, and anyone who comes into contact with the patient is infected. ”

"Then why aren't you afraid?" Chen Ke smiled indifferently.

"Xiaguan ......" Shen Kuo said slowly: "Xiaguan will not have smallpox." ”

"You've had smallpox?" Chen Ke looked at his face, although there were some acne sockets, but compared to smallpox patients, it was definitely as smooth as a mirror: "It's not like it." ”

"No," Shen Kuo smiled a little smugly, "Xia Guan has learned from ancient books. Ways to prevent smallpox. Xia Guan has not only tried it on himself. In the first year of Jiayou, smallpox broke out in Haizhou, and the people of our county panicked. I used this method to prevent the whole county, and finally the epidemic passed. Only in our county, there are few sick people, and most of them are not fatal. ”

"What's the method?" Chen Ke smiled: "You don't want to cherish yourself." ”

"Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention saving the lives of tens of millions of people," Shen Kuo said with a smile: "My method has spread all over Haizhou, and now it is estimated that the entire Jiangnan knows about it." ”

"Don't sell it." Chen Ke chirped: "Just this sour, I really want people to kick you." ”

"Hey......" Shen Kuo said with a straight face: "It was Xia Guan who saw from the ancient books that the medicine king Sun Simiao used the pus from the mouth sores of smallpox patients to apply it to the skin of healthy people. Causes a person to suffer from a mild smallpox first. Because the disease does not come back, it will never get smallpox again. ”

"It's good to read a lot." Chen Ke praised: "But you are bold enough!" "This is the most basic method of acne, but it is still dangerous.

"In the face of smallpox, no matter how bold you are, you can't be too bold." Shen Kuo said softly.

"That's right." Chen Ke nodded. …,

As he spoke, he had already come to the gate of the village, and when he saw that he was going inside, Shen Kuo stopped him and said, "My lord." You haven't had pox, and you'll get sick if you go in. Still waiting outside, I'm on the inside. ”

"Hahaha......" Chen Ke laughed loudly: "I have already had pox!" In this era of smallpox outbreaks, how could he not take precautions for himself and his family?

"Oh, really?" Shen Kuo was only slightly surprised. But he already knew Chen Ke's omniscience, so he was not too surprised: "It turns out that adults have also read that book." ”

Chen Ke smiled vaguely. was about to go inside, Liu Yue'e followed closely behind him, her pretty face was tense, obviously nervous to death...... This is smallpox, known as the world's first plague! It is said that after getting sick, you will be covered in pockmarks if you don't die. Yue'e, a girl's family, although she is afraid of death, but she is even more afraid of deep disfigurement, she is determined that if she gets this disease, she will commit suicide immediately, and she must not become a numb face.

But even so, she still had to follow him......

"Brother Liu also had pox?" Shen Kuo and Liu Yue'e are already very familiar, knowing that she is Mulan in the army, they will naturally guess the ambiguous relationship between her and Chen Ke. It is estimated that Chen Ke has also given her pox, but it is obviously inappropriate not to ask: "If you don't have it, don't go in." ”

Liu Yue'e said in her heart, where did I get pox? It's the first time I've even heard of this method. She moved her gaze to Chen Ke, but saw that the other party didn't hear and looked up at the sky. The heart said: 'This is angry that I have to follow, and I want to be soft.' I couldn't help but secretly said bitterly: "Is it in your heart, my life is not as important as your breath?" In that case, it is better to die Lisuo......

"It's fine." She shook her head, tears glistening in her eyes.

Shen Kuo naturally didn't stare at her, thinking that she meant that it had been planted, so he didn't ask again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the yellow grass village shrouded in the shadow of death, there is finally a trace of life.

Before, although the officers and soldiers announced that Chen Ke would come, the villagers thought it was perfunctory, and it was not until they saw him really standing in the village that they believed that Lord Chen had not given up on them...... More importantly, Lord Chen dared to come to the village with his daughter, which shows that the epidemic is not incurable, nor is it a legend of wizards, and it will take everyone's lives.

The first thing Chen Ke did when he arrived in the village was to put the clan's sorcerer to death, and in addition to the charge of spreading rumors, he also gave him the charge of spreading plague...... This is necessary to dispel the rumor that the river is causing the plague, but only if he prevents the plague from spreading.

So without resting, Chen Ke went to inspect the quarantine area...... This is a courtyard that Shen Kuo instructed the owner of Huangzhai to temporarily erect with a fence downwind of the courtyard of the cottage yard, and a row of grass huts was built in it. All the villagers who are sick will be sent in, and those who are not sick are forbidden to come near here.

At this time, the sun has set in the west, the seriously ill villagers are lying in the shed, and the milder ones are cooking in the courtyard with a fire, and the curling smoke and the aroma of rice make the courtyard with the scene of the end of the world have a little vitality.

In order to prevent his subordinates from getting sick, Chen Ke did not let them follow, and only brought Shen Kuo and Liu Yue'e in. This made Yue'e's heart even more miserable, yes, yes, he must have been impatient with me for a long time, and wanted me to die in this battle.

Chen Ke didn't bother to pay attention to her, he walked around the grass huts with a solemn face, stopping from time to time to look at the patients on the ground and probe their conditions, and when the inspection was over, he could already be sure that it was indeed smallpox.

After the inspection, the three of them came to the gatehouse of the yard to bathe and change clothes...... Smallpox is not heat-tolerant, and taking a hot bath can kill the virus.

When I returned to the main hall in the village, I had been holding the lamp for a long time.

Chen Ke saw two large baskets on the ground, and the baskets were full of medicinal herbs. Huang Afu said to Shen Kuo: "Mr. Shen, all the medicines you ordered to be collected have been gathered. ”…,

Chen Ke grabbed a handful and looked at it, and asked Shen Kuo, "The medicine you prescribed?" ”

"Let's just talk about personnel." Shen Kuo sighed, looked at Chen Ke and said, "I heard that adults have excellent medical skills, can you represcribe medicine for them?" ”

"There is no cure ......for this disease," Chen Ke shook his head and said, "I can only prescribe some prescriptions to clear heat and remove fire, and then add nutrition to them to help them carry it." But whether they can carry it or not depends on themselves. ”

"There is no cure...... Huang Afu said with a trembling face when he heard this: "My lord, just now, seven or eight villagers with fever have been sent in. ”

"The owner of the village is relieved." Shen Kuo said: "They are not necessarily sick, but they may also be normal reactions after pox. "When he arrived yesterday, he used the old method to plant pox for all the people in the village, of course, and he wouldn't tell them that it was an abscess taken from the patient......

Sending away Huang Afu, who was full of anxiety, Shen Kuo said to Chen Ke: "My lord, smallpox is spreading very widely, and the lower officials are worried that it has spread to other places, and it is urgent to plant pox for all the people." ”

Chen Ke nodded and said, "But it's still dangerous to plant human pox, I have a cowpox method, and there is no danger......

"The method of cowpox?"

"Well," Chen Ke nodded, "Why is it that a patient who has had smallpox once and has not died will never get a second smallpox?" The secret lies in the fact that if you survive smallpox once, you can gain permanent protection against smallpox inside your body. Smallpox not only harms humans, but also cattle, and almost all cattle have had smallpox. In the process of dealing with cattle, herders have the ability to resist smallpox because they are infected with cowpox, so we can vaccinate people with cowpox through this method, which is much safer than using human pox. ”

The two talked about the method of pox all night, and it was not until dawn that Chen Ke found that Liu Yue'e was gone.

"What about people?" Chen Ke asked Chen Yidao.

"Lord Liu doesn't seem to be feeling well, so I'm going back to rest." Chen Yi said with a worried face: "Lord Liu seems to be very sick. ”

"Oh?" Chen Ke estimates that it is too, otherwise with her strong temperament, she will definitely hold on-
