Chapter 41: The Miracle Medicine Begins to Show Its Might
Rosen remembers that the penicillin skin test usually takes 20 minutes.
The pain is that he doesn't have a precise timekeeping tool in his hand, so 20 minutes can only be a gross estimate.
In the midst of anxiety, time passed minute by minute.
Every now and then, Rosen would observe the skin on Mary and Little Alice's arms.
As time passed, the little red envelope on Little Alice's skin calmed down first, leaving only an inconspicuous little red dot. After about a few more minutes, Mary's arm was back to normal.
Rosen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Not allergic, thank God!" ”
In that case, then things will be easy to do.
Rosen continued: "Now for the second round of treatment. ”
He picked up the No. 1 needle and walked to Mary and said, "This time I injected my buttocks, it will hurt more, hold back." ”
"Hip ...... Where are the buttocks? Mary asked timidly.
"It's the ass." Rosen sweats slightly.
"Oh." Mary lifted her cloak as she said, if before, she would still be a little shy, but now, she doesn't care about anything, and besides, in her eyes, Rosen is just a teenager, which also greatly weakens her resistance.
Intramuscular injection on the buttocks, for first-time experiencers, the taste is quite sour.
When the cold metal needle pierced Mary's muscles, Mary couldn't help but shout 'ah~', and the whole person was trembling, and little Alice on the side saw that her mother was in pain like this, and she cried again in fright.
At this time, Rosen was not a big brother in her eyes, but a big demon.
Soon, the 'Great Demon' came up to her, shiny needle in hand, and little Alice cried 'wow wow', crying with her hands and feet together, trying to escape.
Rosen immediately shouted: "Sister Mary, catch her, hold on to her, only in this way can the medicine be delivered into the body as soon as possible!" ”
Mary had never seen such a treatment for Rosen, but she was in awe of Rosen, and after a moment's hesitation, she stepped forward and helped Rosen grab her daughter.
'Poof~'
The metal needle successfully pierced Little Alice's buttocks, and Little Alice's body trembled violently, and then she cried earth-shatteringly.
After the piercing, Lawson put away the syringe and began the routine disinfection: "For the next 1 hour, I will stay here all the time, and if I feel unwell, I will tell me immediately." ”
Because the first time he took the drug, he used the most conservative dose, and he had undergone a skin test before, so it stands to reason that nothing should happen, but he is afraid of everything.
Next, Rosen sat motionless. Every now and then, he would pick up a needle and draw a little blood from the blood vessels of the two women, carefully analyzing the changes in the concentration of penicillin and the survival of the spirochete pallidos.
Based on the results of the analysis, Rosen adjusted the dose of penicillin little by little. At the same time, he made detailed experimental records very rigorously and objectively.
As a result, on average, every half hour, Mary and Little Alice get a needle.
Mary and little Alice's mother and daughter snuggled tightly together, but also restless, once she was injected, Mary was fine, little Alice cried every time in the dark, and it would take a long time to stop.
The 'inhumane' experiments are ongoing.
While waiting, Rosen was not idle, he took out the parchment to write and draw, which was prepared for Savi, and took 1000 rums from others, he couldn't rely on debts.
As he was writing, Rosen suddenly heard little Alice's sobbing voice in his ears: "Brother, are you writing?" ”
Rosen turned his head to see little Alice curled up in Sister Mary's arms, her face full of dry tears, but a pair of big eyes stared curiously at the parchment roll in Rosen's hand.
Sister Mary hurriedly apologized: "My lord, did you disturb you?" ”
After speaking, she said sternly to her daughter: "Alice, don't talk when adults are busy, you know?" ”
"Oh~" Little Alice lowered her head and said nothing.
'This little pitiful~' Rosen's heart softened and said to Mary, "It's okay. ”
As he spoke, he took out another blank piece of parchment, wrote the name of 'Alice' on it, and read, "Little one, look, this is how 'Alice' is written in imperial script. ”
"Alice ~ my name?" Alice wiped her tears, her eyes growing more curious.
"Yes, read it to me, Alice."
"Alice~" Little Alice read very standardly.
Rosen wrote down some of the most common imperial scripts, about forty or fifty, and taught Alice one by one. To his surprise, little Alice's language talent was quite excellent, and she could pronounce a word very standard as long as she read it a few times.
After Rosen finished teaching again, he took another test out of curiosity.
As a result, Alice was able to read at least seventy percent accurately, and the rest, even if it was not standard at first, as long as Rosen reminded her a little, Alice could recall it.
It's almost a memorable skill.
"Very good, very good. Little one, take this parchment, memorize every word on it carefully, and later, my brother will check it, and if you read it correctly, my brother will reward you. ”
"Okay." Little Alice carefully took the parchment. Although she was young, she already knew that parchment was very expensive, and in the village, the elder's grandson once stole the elder's parchment to play, and after being caught, he was beaten by the elder and covered in blood.
In the next time, little Alice began to concentrate on reciting the imperial text of the Rosen Sect, perhaps because she had sustenance in her heart, and when she was injected again, she didn't even cry.
After about 3 hours, Mary suddenly touched her body and said strangely: "Huh~ Strange, I seem to have ...... on my body It doesn't seem to be so uncomfortable anymore. ”
"Huh?" Rosen was a little strange, the first time he used penicillin, the germs were not resistant, so he knew that the effect of penicillin was very strong, but the spirocheta pallidus was not easy to mess with, and the obvious effect appeared in less than 4 hours, which seemed to be a bit exaggerated.
Immediately after, little Alice also shouted in surprise: "Mom, brother, the red spots on my body have also become lighter, you see." ”
Rosen looked over and found that the color of the macules on Little Alice's hands seemed to have really faded, and the area had shrunk slightly, but the changes were not obvious, and it was difficult to find without looking carefully, but Rosen had detailed experimental records at hand, and the specific size of the macules was also recorded.
He flipped through the parchment scroll, found the corresponding data, and compared it before and after, he was sure that the macules had indeed shrunk.
Is the effect of penicillin a little too strong?
Lawson was puzzled, but unfortunately his alchemy power could not directly penetrate the human body to examine, and after thinking about it, he could only explain it as a human being in the other world with a good physique and amazing recovery ability.
Eventually, he announced, "It's better." ”
Mary and little Alice were overjoyed. Mary hugged her daughter and began to cry, tears streaming down her face.
After crying for a while, Mary fell to her knees and began to kowtow to Rosen, thanking her incoherently: "My lord, you are the most merciful and wise alchemist. You must be a messenger of the gods, and the gods have really forgiven me! May God bless you! You saved my daughter's life and me, and from today onwards, we are willing to do anything for you. ”
Rosen was also very relieved, but he was still taken aback by Mary's excitement, and he hurriedly helped Mary up: "Don't rush to thank you, the treatment is not complete yet." Well~ It's estimated that it's dawn outside, so I'm going to buy some food and come back. ”
He was in a good mood and gently touched little Alice's head: "What do you want to eat, tell your brother, and my brother will buy it." ”
Little Alice glanced at Mary, Mary smiled and nodded, and she immediately said cheerfully, "Brother, I want to eat grilled fish!" ”
"Okay, then grill the fish."
Although it was a busy night, Lawson was in high spirits, he did not feel tired at all, and when he walked, he felt that his steps were unusually brisk, and when he left the cellar and arrived at the courtyard, he finally couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and laughed at the sky.
"Successfully synthesized penicillin, successfully saved two people, and I also got the specific use of penicillin, and then I can save countless people, hahaha~'
'Dias. Come, Romley, come and complain to the baron, hehe, I promise to leave you dead without a place to be buried! ’
'Annie, I made it, haha, I'm going to be amazed when you know it. ’
It took a while for Rosen to calm down his agitation, and he carefully collected the experimental data before turning around and leaving the yard.
There was no ready-made grilled fish to sell in the small restaurant, so Lawson went to the dock, bought a few fresh fish with less spines and more meat, and then took them to the small restaurant near the yard to roast them, bought some delicious side dishes, and brought a small barrel of freshly brewed ale, and then turned back to the yard.
When she arrived in the cellar, little Alice saw the grilled fish, cheered, and jumped for joy.
Rosen took the opportunity to check the effect of the potion for the two women, and after confirming that there was no problem, he poured three glasses of ale, set the side dishes, and said with a smile: "Come, let's all have a drink and celebrate this success." Hmm~ Little Alice, you are the smallest, drink the smallest cup. ”
Mary picked up her glass and said earnestly: "My lord, Mary is just a peasant woman, illiterate, and has never seen the world, but I will say that you are the most merciful and generous person I have ever met, a hundred or a thousand times better than those lords and lords!" May the gods always bless you! ”
Little Alice held the big wine glass in both hands, and said in a milky voice: "Brother, you are a good person!" ”
Rosen was very emotional in his heart, and the experience of a few days made him clearly realize that the suffering of ordinary civilians in this world is unimaginable to most earthlings. The only thing he can do is to continue to walk on the road of science, hoping that the seeds of science can take root and sprout, grow into a strong tree, and then change the world!
He raised his glass and said, "No more, come, take a sip." ”
After taking a sip of the wine, Rosen said, "Let's eat." ”
The atmosphere was relaxed.
Especially little Alice, she is small and simple-minded, and when she saw so many delicious foods, she immediately forgot all her troubles, and forgot all about Lawson's 'devil' behavior last night, and while eating grilled fish, she shouted 'brother ~ brother', and was very affectionate.
When he had eaten and drunk, Lawson returned to the courtyard satisfied, and after a short rest, he took the parchment scroll with which the mirror polishing was recorded, and walked towards Savi's glass shop.
Halfway through, Lawson suddenly heard a mess and unusual noise not far behind him, as if something had happened.
Instead of crowding over to see the excitement, Lawson walked over to the passerby who had been watching from the side of the road, stood beside the passerby for a moment, and then asked, "Hey, man, do you know what's going on over there?" ”
The passer-by glanced at Rosen vigilantly, and saw that it was a young man with a short body and a kind face, so he let down his guard, and he sighed: "It's a refugee from Liuye Village in the west. The village was burned down by Blackbeard, the strong man was captured, the women and children were raped and all killed, and in the end only 7 people escaped, all over there. ”
"Blackbeard?" Rosen keenly grasped a word that he was familiar with.
Passers-by were distressed: "Yes, Blackbeard! I heard that an officer who fled back from the north was very powerful. It is said that he brought more than 30 henchmen himself, and collected the robbers in the vicinity, and now the number is almost more than 500, robbing food everywhere, killing people, and doing all kinds of evil, even more vicious than monsters...... The gods will punish them! ”
