Chapter Forty-Nine: Something Goes Wrong with the Pills
A day in the space is an hour outside, time flies, Liu Qiaoer and others have been in the space for seven days.
In seven days, Liu Qiaoer ate from south to north, from roast chicken to roast duck, from Japanese food to Western food, and rested in the hot spring when she was tired.
Xu Xiaoxiao hid in the laboratory to study the pills, and Chu Chu and Tie Zhu cooperated to put the researched pills into the machine and output them in large quantities.
"To speed up, time is running out." Xu Xiaoxiao saw that the sky was gradually brightening, and she was very anxious.
Liu Qiao'er walked slowly with a big belly full of food and drink, "How is it, do you need my help?" ”
"It's dawn when you come to help." Tie Zhu hurriedly put the medicinal materials into the instrument and said helplessly to Liu Qiao'er.
Liu Qiao'er looked at the bottles of pills in white porcelain bottles that came out of the conveyor belt, her eyes lit up, and she leaned down and stared blankly.
"This is the pill for smallpox?" She picked up a bottle and shook it in front of her eyes.
"Alright, hurry up and bagged it." Xu Xiaoxiao picked up the burlap bag on the side and packed the white porcelain bottle on the conveyor belt.
Liu Qiao'er saw that the situation was wrong, put down the delicate white porcelain bottle in her hand, and packed it with Chu Chu and Tiezhu.
A ray of sunlight penetrated into the window lattice, Chu Qing was not at ease Xu Xiaoxiao, he didn't sleep all night, he sat on the chair in the courtyard and closed his eyes, Wang Duo stood behind him and fished his head from time to time, Doctor Li started the busy day, and came to the two of them with a tray.
"Young Master Chu, the little girl said that the development of pills this time is uncertain, so there is no need to wait for her." Physician Li placed the white porridge and side dishes on the coffee table beside Chu Qing.
"Thank you, Doctor Li, Chu Guoke sent breakfast?" Chu Qing opened his phoenix eyes and got up and nodded in response.
"My old woman has already sent it over, rest assured." Dr. Li returned the salute and walked towards the pharmacy lobby.
"Squeak."
The wooden door of the pharmacy was opened, Xu Xiaoxiao stretched his waist and walked out of the room, Liu Qiao'er followed with a yawn and touched her bulging belly, and Chu Chu and Tie Zhu were holding two sacks in their arms.
"How's it going?" Chu Qing originally picked up the white porridge, and after seeing Xu Xiaoxiao walk out of the door, he hurriedly put down the porcelain bowl and stepped forward to ask.
"Okay, what's going on over there?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked, rubbing her swollen neck.
"Everything is ready, just waiting for you." Chu Qing looked at the sack in Chu Chu and Tie Zhu's arms and said.
"Of these two bags, one is for virus protection and the other is for treatment." Xu Xiaoxiao lifted the two sacks from Chu Chu and Tie Zhu's arms.
"Okay, let's go." Chu Qing took the sack and said.
The noon sun was extremely hot, and the villagers of Liujia Village wore protective clothing and masks, gloves and scattered around the streets, and several sandalwood tables were placed next to the streets, and the villagers stood behind the tables to test the people.
The villagers of Liujia Village have undergone a lot of training before setting off, and they can do things smoothly, and with skilled Liu Dazhuang and Liu Mengzhou on their side to solve difficult problems, the detection is very smooth.
After a whole night of dredging, the people in the city lined up at the entrances of the streets, and the front of the line was commanded by a prestigious old man, and the women were being distributed in the villages.
Although the villagers of Liujia Village have become proficient in using testing tools, they are understaffed and there are many people in line, and many people have lost patience and left after waiting for a few hours.
When Xu Xiaoxiao, Chu Qing and the others arrived, the number of people in line gradually decreased, and the streets that were originally full of people instantly became deserted.
"Why are there so few people?" Xu Xiaoxiao came to Liu Dazhuang's side and asked.
"In the morning, the weather is cool, and there are still quite a lot of people, and at noon, the people can't stand it and go back." Liu Dazhuang sighed and said helplessly.
The noon heat is not only unbearable for the people in the town, but even the villagers who have been busy with testing are also uncomfortable, the mask is made of linen, which is not breathable, and it is not only stuffy but also difficult to breathe, and the weather is even more uncomfortable when it is hot.
Xu Xiaoxiao's eyebrows were raised, looking at the sweaty villagers, her heart was full of guilt, it was she who thought things too simple and affected them.
"Don't worry, there is ice in the cellar of the county magistrate's mansion, and I have already asked someone to transport it."
Chu Qing saw the problems faced by everyone, he had already taken the hot climate into account, the magistrate of Anle Town was only greedy for pleasure on weekdays, and when Wang Duo secretly investigated, he found the ice cubes hidden in the cellar by the magistrate.
"Ice?" Liu Mengzhou wiped the beads of sweat from his cheeks and looked surprised.
"It's just Bingbing and bricks." Liu Dazhuang saw that Liu Mengzhou had never seen ice cubes, and he was also fortunate to have seen them in a rich man's mansion, which was extremely rare.
"This...."Liu Mengzhou's pupils dilated instantly when he heard this, and he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.
"I'm also thinking about seeing if I can find some thin cloth to make a breathable mask." Xu Xiaoxiao said with a sigh of relief.
She also thought about whether to get out of the ice cubes in the space, but she couldn't find a better excuse to explain, now that she has the cellar of Zhixian, she can justifiably borrow this guise to take out medical masks and some items to relieve the heat from the space.
"You didn't sleep last night, go back and rest first, and I'll finish the rest." Chu Qing turned his head to look at Xu Xiaoxiao, his face showing pity, and his tone was soft.
"Okay." Xu Xiaoxiao also wanted to go back and enter the space again, so she just had an excuse.
Liu Qiao'er, Chu Chu, and Tie Zhu stayed at the street corner to help distribute the pills that had been made, and the test results came out quickly, and the people had already differentiated the infected and the uninfected.
Chu Qing picked up the list and checked it carefully, he had to admire Xu Xiaoxiao's leadership ability, the people who tested asked the people to leave their names and residences before testing the people, and marked the infected and uninfected with colors, and the list was clear at a glance.
Xu Xiaoxiao returned to Li's Pharmacy, Doctor Li and Mrs. Li were busy in the kitchen, and when they saw Xu Xiaoxiao returning to the courtyard, they hurriedly walked out.
"Little girl, eat some food and rest." Dr. Li came out with his meal.
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded in response, "Thank you, Doctor Li." ”
Dr. Li put the food on the coffee table in the hospital, and as he was leaving, he suddenly coughed a few times, and there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.
"Doctor Li, are you alright?" Xu Xiaoxiao saw the blood on the corner of Dr. Li's mouth and hurriedly got up to check it.
"Nothing, nothing, old problem." Dr. Li waved his hand repeatedly.
"No, it's different now." Xu Xiaoxiao took Dr. Li's hand and began to take the pulse.
No, the pulse is not right, it's not like an ordinary cough, it's like....
"Smallpox?" Xu Xiaoxiao's pupils were dilated, his body stiffened, and he looked up at Doctor Li with a panicked expression.
How is this possible? Didn't Dr. Lee take her pill to defend against the virus?
Why? Why do I still get smallpox? What went wrong?
Could it be that there was something wrong with her pills?
A series of questions cycled through her mind, and she felt her forehead swell, her chest tightened, and her eyes blackened and she collapsed.
