Chapter XXVII: Prevention and Control
After looking at the fat-headed and big-eared rooster for a while, even Aunt Liu found that something was abnormal, a big rooster that should have been quite energetic, was actually groggy, staggering and unsteady, and turned in circles in the chicken coop, which did not look very healthy......
Xiao Ru bared her teeth: "It's really a strange thing, it is said that chicken plague usually occurs in spring and autumn, and now it's a big summer, shouldn't it......"
Regardless of whether it should be or not, no matter what the reason, it did happen, so Aunt Liu, Xiaoru, Lou Yi and Zhang gathered in the courtyard of the Wang family next door.
"Little lady, is there no mistake?" Aunt Liu looked at the daughter-in-law of the Wang family with a pale face worriedly, and sighed in her heart, this man of the Wang family didn't know who to mess with last year, his leg was broken, and now he is paralyzed on the bed, and he has become a waste person at all, the mother-in-law of the family is nearly seventy years old, and the two young children who are waiting to be fed rely on the daughter-in-law of the Wang family are busy raising some chickens, and they exchange eggs for food every day.
Xiao Ru nodded with a heavy face: "It's chicken plague......" Before she could finish speaking, an old hen had already wobbled and fell on the hay in the chicken coop, spitting mucus in her mouth, and she was out of breath......
The daughter-in-law of the Wang family turned pale and stood stunned on the spot, her lips trembled, but she couldn't say a word.
Zhang's brows tightened, glared at Aunt Liu unhappily, and said coldly to the daughter-in-law of the Wang family: "Although the neighbors are on the right and left, the relationship between our two families is not bad, but our family is not easy now, tonight I originally wanted to kill a chicken and entertain Mrs. Lin, but now I encounter this kind of thing, it is too unlucky, fortunately, the chicken is too late to do it, in case you accidentally eat the plague chicken and get sick, it is not that you can pass by losing a few dollars......"
The daughter-in-law of the Wang family handed the twenty yuan to Aunt Liu without saying a word, and Zhang snatched it, checked it, and put it in her arms, her expression was still three points dissatisfied, and she muttered in her mouth, "At least three times the compensation is ......reasonable" However, she saw that Xiaoru and Lou Yi were frowning, and she still closed her mouth.
Xiaoru sighed and said with a wry smile: "Sister-in-law Wang, I'm afraid there is little hope for this sick chicken, now I'll help you check and check to see if you are all sick, if there are still those who are not sick, you can try to save them." ”
The daughter-in-law of the Wang family was stunned, and there was finally a little light in her eyes, although there must be a loss, but it is better than losing all your money.
Xiao Ruzi carefully searched in the chicken coop for a long time, carefully picked out the sick chickens, and put them in the cage, the Wang family was actually lucky, a total of twenty-two hens, two roosters, only fourteen were sick, don't look at this number is not small, in fact, a plague chicken can definitely harm the entire chicken coop, even the whole village, the whole street, the whole county...... Xiaoru didn't have much hope......
"Hmm...... Make half a croton, mix it with raw oil, and pour it into these plague chickens to see if there is any chance of getting better, and also, make five slices of garlic, mash it, mix it with oil and sulfur, and pour some ...... on these chickens that don't seem to be sick" Xiaoru hesitated, thinking that it was better to try these two recipes and do something than to do nothing, right?
The daughter-in-law of the Wang family hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll go right away...... Brimstone, brimstone...... Ah, there are still some ...... in the father-in-law's house" Coincidentally, the first two generations of the Wang family were alchemy monks and vulgar, and it was not until this generation of descendants that they did not do their old business again, so the Wang family has a lot of sulfur, saltpeter and other things.
hurriedly followed the prescription that Xiaoru said, and poured medicine into these chickens, although it has not had any effect yet, but the daughter-in-law of the Wang family is still a lot more determined. Xiao Ru nodded, "Almost...... Wait until tomorrow to start feeding......"
Xiao Ru looked at the four walls of the Wang family, scratched her head, and carefully searched for cheap recipes to prevent chicken plague in her mind, "By the way, you get some dried chili peppers, bundle them with wheat straw and straw, light them and put them in the chicken coop, smoke them with smoke, which is cheap and can prevent chicken plague...... Also, the dead chickens should be taken away and burned immediately, and the ashes should not be contaminated at all, chicken plague is not a trivial matter, and if one is not done well, even people may be infected with the disease......"
"People?" Zhang Shi was startled and widened his eyes, "Sister Xiaoru, don't be alarmist, how can people be infected with chicken plague?" ”
Xiao Ru turned her head and said coldly to Zhang: "Stepmother, you can not believe it, but I can say that I have met a patient who died of chicken plague...... If you still care about your own children, it is best to disinfect them as soon as you return, especially the chicken coop. "Wasn't the avian flu of that year also a type of disease with chicken plague?
Although Zhang was skeptical, but was frightened by Xiao Ru, or immediately went back to work, after all, she had a little impression of Xiao Ru's medical skills, when the well-known old doctors in Meixian County said that Gao Ting could not live for half a month, but he insisted that Xiao Ru extended his life for a year, Zhang didn't say it, but he was a little jealous and dissatisfied in his heart, and felt that Gao Ting was selfish, and passed on his medical skills to his ex-wife's cheap, but he didn't care about his own son, and he didn't think about it at all, when her son was studying medicine, he was an elm pimple, and Gao Ting had no choice. to let it go. Besides, what father wouldn't want his own son to be born?
Zhang's and Wang's sister-in-law carried out a vigorous chicken plague prevention activity in the yard, making it smoky all day long, tossing for more than seven days, Wang's sister-in-law's chickens died two more, however, the others survived healthily, including a few sick chickens, all gradually lost their symptoms, Xiaoru went to check it on purpose, and observed it for a few days before nodding and saying that it was okay, Wang's sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, of course, she was grateful to Xiaoru.
These two families are so tossed, how can other families not know it, but for half a day, the chicken plague in Meixian County, through the neighbors, spread out through the neighborhood, so that everyone is in danger, many people heard that the Gao family has a way to treat and prevent chicken plague, and they automatically and spontaneously ran to the Gao family to ask for a prescription, at the beginning, Xiaoru also patiently told others again and again, and later saw an endless stream of people, Xiaoru sighed, simply wrote down the precautions, and the recipe also added a few more high-cost and better-effected, Let Brother Xiaolou hang outside the gate and let someone copy it, which avoided the anxious scene a few days ago......
It's just that Zhang's approach to Xiaoru, she said a few words with a straight face, she wanted to make a profit from these Xiaoru's recipes at first, maybe she could bring her pharmacy back to life, who knows, Xiaoru actually came to this hand, no wonder she felt uncomfortable, she didn't give Xiaoru half a good face for several days, Xiaoru was also happy that she didn't come to the front to make herself uncomfortable, and looked forward to her being awkward for a few more days.
