Chapter 1081: Countermeasures
"What?" Liu Yuexiang was so frightened that she couldn't stand on her feet holding the child: "Smallpox? ”
Ji Miaomiao, who listened to the mouth, also widened her eyes in fright.
Smallpox was another disease of ancient times, but adults who had it were immune.
In ancient times, children basically had a very high mortality rate, accompanied by high fever and itching.
Only when the pox comes out can you get out of danger, if you can't get out, basically the child will die.
Emperor Kangxi is said to have pox marks on his face, and many princes have died because of smallpox, which shows the degree of danger.
If the children of ordinary people get it, it is really fate.
If you survive it, you can only think that you are unlucky.
The other children were only taken aback by the surprised attitude of the adults, unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
Ji Miaomiao knew, and she also knew that smallpox was extremely contagious!
She's still so young...... It shouldn't be so unlucky, right?
"Doctor Liao, is my grandson really sick with smallpox?"
The village chief also seemed to be ten years old, and his eyes widened as he looked at Dr. Liao. I don't want to miss a single subtle expression on his face.
The villagers hurriedly gave up an encirclement and drove their children farther away.
"What are you doing standing so close? Go far! ”
How far can it go?
Everyone is in the same village, can they still go alone?
The Forbidden City is so big that it can still spread, let alone a group?
Moreover, they did not know that Zhao Jiawei, the grandson of the village chief's family, was suspected of having smallpox, and if they really wanted to infect the children, they might have been infected a long time ago.
Faced with the villagers' actions of driving away the children, the village chief sighed in his heart.
He didn't feel cold, whose child is not distressed? This is all normal.
But he was afraid in his heart that he would become a sinner for the whole village.
And his only grandson has this disease, and he is distressed and anxious, and he just wants to replace him.
"I can't say for sure." Dr. Liao frowned and carefully examined Zhao Jiawei's whole body:
"He's hot all over now, and he looks like he's going to have a pox, which looks like smallpox, and it can't be ruled out that it's chickenpox."
The symptoms of chickenpox and smallpox are very similar and can be difficult to distinguish with the naked eye and pulse alone.
The only difference between them is that smallpox scabs over when they disappear, while chickenpox does not.
The fatality rate of chickenpox is not high, usually the child is suffering from a high fever, and the pox will be fine.
"Doctor Liao, you want to save my grandson!" The village chief's daughter-in-law saw Dr. Liao's embarrassed face and fell to her knees in fright. Cry out loud:
"We are just one grandson, if something happens, how can we live as a family!"
Zhao Chuanliang is definitely unreliable now, and even if he can be relied on, he only has two daughters.
There is only one single seedling in the whole family, and this is the hope of their whole family.
Who knows if they can live if they are fleeing now, if there is not enough food in the back, and the women are so hungry that they can't have children, how can there be grandchildren!
Zhao Chuanyong, a man, looked at his son's face flushed and unconscious, and also gritted his back molars and knelt down for Dr. Liao:
"Doctor, save our son, please."
The village was quiet for a while, and only the village chief's family was left crying.
But the rest of the people didn't look easy at all.
No matter what the disease is, it is extremely contagious, and their children cannot rule out whether they are infected or not.
Huang Jiagui and his wife's faces changed greatly:
"Doctor Liao, is this disease only available to babies? Adults won't get it! ”
This smallpox is said to be very dead, and the two of them have no baby, but what if they themselves are infected?
When the village chief's family was worried, the two of them rushed over and asked Dr. Liao with a frightened look.
Liu Yuexiang, who was holding her son, was even more disgusted with these two people when she saw this.
It is true that no one is afraid of death, but her current mood is desperate and complicated, and it is irrational to anger others at this time.
The rude behavior of the two, Dr. Liao just frowned:
"Very few people who have had chickenpox have contracted smallpox, at least not the old man."
Everyone was slightly relieved when they heard this.
Most of them had acne when they were young.
Huang Jiagui and his wife also breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they don't get infected, what does the rest of them care?
Anyway, the two of them didn't have children.
"It's not completely certain that it's smallpox yet, you get up first, since the old man is here, he will definitely do his best to save the child."
Dr. Liao stretched out his hand to help the village chief, and his expression was quite emotional:
"When I was collecting medicine, I found that there are quite a lot of medicinal materials on this mountain, let's settle down here first, the current situation is really not suitable for further walking."
Now that Zhao Jiawei has developed symptoms, it is not beneficial to the condition to rush again.
And the little babies in other villages don't know if they have been infected......
Thinking of this, Dr. Liao hurriedly ordered:
"Find a place to gather children with suspected smallpox together, and children who have no symptoms together, so that the infection does not become more severe."
"Okay."
The village chief nodded and said to Ji Liangqing: "Let's go up the mountain to find a place right away." ”
"Okay." Dr. Liao responded, and said to the crying village chief's daughter-in-law and Liu Yuexiang:
"You hold the baby and stay away first."
It's all open space, and it's not much of a difference if it's far away, but it's definitely better to have a little distance than no distance.
A few brothers who had a good relationship with Zhao Chuanyong took the initiative to ask Ying to follow Liu Yuexiang's mother and son and the village chief's daughter-in-law.
lest there be any danger if the distance is far away.
Zhao Chuanyong patted the shoulders of these brothers with red eyes, and their kindness was silently remembered in his heart.
Of course, he couldn't stay here, he had to find a good place so that his son could recover well.
Ji Liangqing is also among the people who want to go up the mountain.
They also have several children, he had acne when he was a child, but I don't know why, his son and daughter haven't had acne at this age.
How dangerous it is to be infected!
Ji Liangqing was anxious, and only by finding a place quickly could the children be separated.
"Xueyan, Qiuyun, you guys let the babies stay in the car."
Watching the village chief and the others leave, Mrs. Ji immediately instructed her two daughters-in-law to beckon the children to get on the ox cart.
The ox cart is a confined space, and it can be regarded as independent.
"Okay, mother!" Wang Xueyan and Ye Qiuyun were busy.
Ye Qiuyun hugged Ji Miaomiao and went up with a few nephews, and a few boys pouted dissatisfied:
"Mother. Why are they all down there, and we have to come up? I haven't had enough of it! ”
It was Shijia who said this, he has always been naughty, and he likes to mess around with Huzi and others below.
"You bastard, are you looking for a fight?" Wang Xueyan's eyes widened:
"Someone is sick with smallpox, and you still have to play below, are you underwhelmed!"
"What's smallpox, mother?" Ji Shijia's eyes widened, full of doubts.
