Cow, cow!

That's right, how can you forget this stubble, it's really a pig's brain, cowpox, how can you forget cowpox!

Historically, in the process of constantly fighting against the rampant smallpox, the people of our Great Celestial Dynasty invented the human pox inoculation method to prevent smallpox as early as the Ming Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, it is recorded in the "Golden Mirror Fu Collection of Pox": "The method of smelling pox began in Taiping County, Ningguo Prefecture (now Taiping, Anhui) during the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty (1567~1572 AD...... This spreads all over the world. ”

In other words, as long as Li Yuanba finds a way to inoculate cowpox into people, he will definitely be able to prevent the smallpox epidemic.

In addition, although cowpox vaccination is only a preventive method, even so, it is probably useful for people who have already had smallpox, right?

As for whether Li Zhi, who has already had the primary symptoms of smallpox, can be completely cured, he can only do his best and listen to the will of God!

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Seeing that Li Yuanba became stunned, Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao all widened their eyes and glared at him, and screamed tentatively.

Under the shouting, Li Yuanba finally came back to his senses, with a little excitement on his face, and said: "Two Taoist leaders, there is a way, there is a way!" ”

Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao glanced at each other, they still didn't know the situation, what was the way?

"Childish slave, don't worry, the fourth uncle will definitely save you, the fourth uncle will definitely save you!"

Li Yuanba waved his hands and said to Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang: "Two Dao Masters, although this king's method is only a method of prevention and can prevent the spread of smallpox, it should also have some effect on those who have already contracted smallpox. ”

Whether it's useful or not, now you can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor!

"Shhh

Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang's faces finally changed. From the stunned moment to the surprise, and then the two of them were so excited that their faces turned red.

"Please teach the prince!" The two of them, together with a hundred-year-old guy, saluted Li Yuanba and asked.

Li Yuanba looked at the two old Taoist priests very seriously, and said, "This king has a method, called pox!" ”

"Plant, plant?"

Get. The two old Taoist priests were stunned again, they just planted beans, but now they are talking about pox, but they are not talking about farming.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two old Taoist priests, Li Yuanba knew that these two guys were crooked again.

Shaking his head, Li Yuanba said, "I don't know if the two Dao Masters have ever heard of cowpox?" ”

"Cowpox? Is it a cow with ground pox? "After all, the two of them are just healing people, not veterinarians.

"That's pretty much it!" Li Yuanba continued: "This cowpox is a plague that occurs in cattle, and it is also an acute infection caused by smallpox in cattle. Its symptoms are usually just ulceration in some parts of the cow. ”

"Dare to ask what this cowpox has to do with this disease?" Both of them are not stupid, so they naturally understand that King Wu brought up cowpox at this time. It must be related to the treatment of acne.

"This kind of cowpox can be transmitted to us through physical contact, and it is more common in milkmen or butchers, and the people who get cowpox will have pimples on the skin, and these pimples will slowly develop into blisters, pustules, and some other symptoms."

When he said this, Li Yuanba paused and said, "An accidental chance." A man with smallpox contracted cowpox at the same time, ten and a half days and a half later. The smallpox that the man received did not have any lesions, and after Lang Zhong's diagnosis, he found that the smallpox on the man's body had disappeared. ”

When they heard this, Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang's eyes lit up at the same time, and said, "According to His Royal Highness, this cowpox and smallpox are just the right match?" ”

"Exactly!" Li Yuanba nodded. He said: "You only need to make a wound in the tendon of the human arm, and then apply the pus from the cow to the ulcer of cowpox on the wound, and after the wound heals, the person who gets this method will naturally not suffer from smallpox again?" ”

"What a way to fight poison with poison!" Hearing Li Yuanba's explanation, Sun Simiao felt incredible. There is such a miraculous thing in this world!

"Your Highness, is that cowpox really as magical as you say?" Yuan Tiangang still thinks that this matter is not very reliable, the pox disease of cattle can actually treat human pox, nonsense, right?

"This is natural, this king will not joke about this!" Li Yuanba's face was still solemn.

"Daoist Yuan, according to the old way, His Royal Highness King Wu's method can be tried, at least His Royal Highness King Jin has one more chance of healing!"

Sun Simiao is still more inclined to believe what Li Yuanba said, after all, this Martial King is also known as the King of Miracles by the people, and anything can happen to His Royal Highness the Martial King.

"Okay, in this way, first go find a cow with cowpox, according to the king's method, plant cowpox in the body of the childish slave, and at the same time, find a few people who are also infected with smallpox, and use the same method to plant cowpox for them, I believe it won't be long before the effect can be seen!"

Li Yuanba made a decision directly, time is not waiting, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that Li Zhi's little life will not be saved.

This time, neither Yuan Tiangang nor Sun Simiao spoke, but nodded silently.

……

Smallpox is easy to find, but cows with cowpox are hard to find.

Fortunately, all the cultivated cattle or dairy cows in Datang have been registered in the Datang Yamen, so it took only half an hour to find the cow that suffered from cowpox.

According to Li Yuanba's method, Sun Simiao personally operated the operation, and used a silver needle to make a small opening in the tendon of Li Zhi's left arm, that is, the place where Li Yuanba used to vaccinate in his previous life.

Not to mention that this Sun Simiao is a holy hand of medical Taoism, he just used a silver needle to complete Li Yuanba's requirements, and if Li Yuanba is allowed to do it himself, I am afraid that he will have to see blood.

In order to see the effect of cowpox, Li Yuanba and the others simply did not go out of Huayang Palace, but ate and lived in Huayang Palace.

Of course, just in case, they were also infected with smallpox, led by Li Yuanba, and the three were also vaccinated against smallpox.

This kind of measure is very necessary, otherwise when the time comes, they will all hang up, and who will treat the smallpox plague that broke out in Chang'an City?

Li Yuanba and the others lived in Huayang Palace with peace of mind, but they forgot that the Tang Emperor and a group of civil and military ministers were still waiting for them outside Huayang Palace.

At the gate of Huayang Palace.

"Father, Uncle Four Emperors, why haven't they come out yet? Why don't you let Erchen go in and have a look? ”

Li Su had been waiting impatiently, if it weren't for Li Ke and Li Yun stopping him, he would have rushed in a long time ago! (To be continued.) )
