Chapter 16: Infectious Diseases (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Grandma Chen is none other than Wang Chong's mother, Chen Yu.
Now from the point of view of the ancients, the age is not young, and in recent years, the health has not been very good, and basically walking around in their own yards.
"I went to see my mother-in-law yesterday and it was okay, why is this all of a sudden." Sun Xiuxiu dressed simply, opened the door and said to the maid: "What's the matter?" ”
"Ahem, ahem...... In the past few days, Granny Chen has had a cold, has been coughing, and has just coughed up blood, I am afraid that something will happen, so I will inform you, cough cough ......"
Seeing the maid coughing like this, Wang Chong frowned and closed the door as soon as possible.
"Master, ...... you"
"I'm afraid I have some kind of infectious disease." Wang Zhong took a piece of cloth and put it around his mouth and nose as a mask: "You wait in the house, don't go out." ”
…………
Sun Mansion.
Mother Chen Yu's room.
"Master Wang, your mother has a lung disease, so there is always blood foam coughing up, it is better not to approach it, so as not to infect it."
Lang Zhong walked to the door of Chen Yu's room, took out a brush and paper to write, but just as he was about to write, he himself coughed.
"Ahem......" Not only him, but the maid behind him also coughed.
Wang Zhongxin was shocked, he used to see that the maid had been coughing, so he wondered if there was an infectious disease, but now that he saw it, it was very likely that it was.
In ancient times, not many people died in wars, and those who really died were sick, especially infectious diseases.
Ancient infectious diseases in Western countries included the Black Death and the bubonic plague, and tens of millions of people died in Europe, and the population dropped sharply.
We're a monsoon country. It is located on the west coast of the Pacific Rim volcanic seismic zone due to uneven temperature in winter and summer, unstable atmospheric circulation, and complex geological structure. Therefore, in the past few thousand years of history, we have suffered more disasters than the world.
The main injuries were typhoid fever, lung disease, leprosy, malaria, smallpox, etc.
"Doctor, have there been many people coughing in the city recently?" Wang Chong asked, covering his mouth and nose.
"It's strange to say, these days are people with coughs, and I follow the previous prescription to prescribe the right medicine, but the effect is not obvious." After Lang Zhong finished speaking, he coughed a few times and said: "Master Wang, this is a prescription, you decoct Ling's mother three times a day, and I have to go to the next house to see a doctor, so I won't bother." ”
"Well, it's a little silver tael, it's troublesome." Wang re-handed over the consultation fee.
After Lang Zhong accepted it, he took his leave.
After listening to Lang Zhong's words, Wang Chong was almost certain that this infectious disease should be lung disease caused by influenza.
As soon as Lang Zhong left, Wang Zhong quickly arranged for people to get ready.
"Go to the bazaar and buy 30 large barrels of aged vinegar, then boil the old vinegar and put it in each room to disinfect, hurry up."
"Go to the pharmacy to buy indigo roots, crush the indigo roots and boil them into soup, everyone must drink three bowls in the morning, noon and evening, anyone who has a cough now, has a headache and hot feet, all are arranged to rest in the side room, and they are not allowed to come out."
"Arrange a cloth shop to make a square fabric like mine, and everyone wears it on their mouth and nose, remember, this is called a mask, and no one is allowed to take it off except for eating."
Due to the limited conditions in ancient times, Wang Chong can only use the most primitive methods in modern society to resist the flu, first disinfecting with vinegar, which is very common in modern society, whenever a large-scale epidemic occurs, public places will be filled with the smell of vinegar, of course, with the development of society, now gradually use disinfectant water.
Then there is the indigo root, the so-called indigo root, in fact, is the indigo root, in ancient times, most of the indigo root thought that the indigo root is to clear heat and detoxify, in fact, it also has the effect of preventing colds and improving the throat.
The subordinates began to carry out Wang Chong's orders in an orderly manner, although these people did not understand Wang Chong's intentions, but the lord was very majestic in their minds, and they did not dare to disobey.
……
Seven days later, the flu really broke out, and the streets were full of coughing people, and many people who were already in poor health coughed up blood, and finally coughed to death.
For a while, people in the city were panicked, saying that there was an infectious disease here, and many people were scared out of the city overnight.
However, to everyone's surprise, in the Sun Mansion, except for the first few sick people, everyone else was in good health, which was all thanks to Wang Chong's prevention and treatment in advance.
After confirming that his method worked, Wang Chong bought a large piece of vinegar and indigo root and distributed it to every household in the county, teaching them how to fight off the flu.
At first, people didn't believe it, but as more and more people gradually got better, and the number of sick people stopped increasing, everyone believed it.
Since then, in the minds of others, Wang Zhong has changed from a master Wang who can do business and a great hero to a man who is kind and benevolent, curing diseases and saving people.
Now, his reputation is higher than that of Sun Yuanwai, who has already left, and many people will affectionately call him Wang Yuanwai when they see Wang Chong.
……
A year later, his mother Chen Yu's mind was already demented, so Wang Zhong has been by Chen Yu's side for the past few days.
"Wang Yuanwai, have you seen my son, my father-in-law is Wang Quancai, he is a showman, he was injured by a thief in the Sun family, I want to see him now, but, but my son is gone......"
On the hospital bed, Chen Yu took Wang Chong's hand and cried.
Wang Zhong sighed in his heart, he knew that his mother had thought of the day when he deliberately disappeared.
"Mother, your son is here."
"Are you...... You are Erping. ”
Chen Yu smiled stupidly, "My family's Erping has finally grown up, but it's a pity that your father died early, Erping, you will have to ...... well in the future."
That night, Chen Yu left, and she walked peacefully.
Wang Chonghou buried Chen Yu, although he knew in his heart that all this was a game, and the purpose of the game he played was to get experience points in exchange for life spirit liquid.
But after a long time, people still have feelings, especially their own mothers in the game.
Spring goes to autumn, and another year passes.
At Sun Xiuxiu's strong request, Wang Zhong still accepted the concubine.
Sun Xiuxiu said that she hoped that her father-in-law would be served well.
The concubine is a little girl from a rural villager, named Yu'er, who is 15 years old like a flower, but her father gambles and owes debts, so Yu'er was dragged by a gang of bandits to pay off the debt, and when she was on the street, she happened to be seen by Sun Xiuxiu, so she spent some silver taels to redeem her.
A year later, Yu'er also gave birth to a well-behaved girl.
Yu'er is very sensible, in addition to serving Wang Chong, she is also obedient to Sun Xiuxiu, calling her her sister.
…………
Tempus fugit.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Chong and Sun Xiuxiu were already fifty-two.
Wang Chong's body was getting worse day by day, and after all, he was lying on the bed and couldn't get out of bed.
Now the affairs of the Sun family are basically handed over to his son Sun Wenlong to take care of.
Although this child liked to dance and play with sticks when he was a child, after becoming an official, he restrained a lot and learned a lot from Wang Chong.
"Xiuxiu, I'm afraid I can't do it, after leaving, you have to take good care of yourself." Wang Zhong said weakly, turning his head to look at Yu'er, who was kneeling on the edge of the bed and crying: "Yu'er, you are a good girl, but it's a pity that you followed me." ”
"Woo woo, master, I volunteered, if it weren't for you, I would have been sold by my father......"
