Chapter 28: The Next Stage
Seeing that Lan Yu wanted to be fascinated, Zhu Xiongying suddenly interrupted:
"Grandpa! Actually, I still have a lot to say to you, and a lot of things to remind you, all for your own good!
I know you can't believe what I'm saying right now. After tomorrow, though, you'll be convinced! ”
Lan Yu came to his senses, picked up Zhu Xiongying again, and gently pinched his little face.
"Oh, my good grandson, he's really grown up! I know it's for grandpa's sake! Grandpa is very relieved that he didn't hurt you in vain! Haha......"
As she spoke, Lan Yu's eyes turned rosy.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Lan Yu barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
"Nothing! It's just that I suddenly remembered your mother, and you look very similar to your mother when you were a child. My poor niece, how nice it would be if she were still alive to see you so smart and sensible......"
Zhu Xiongying sometimes thinks about this question.
If he had traveled a little earlier, would he have been able to meet the mother who loved him the most, and would he have been able to change her fate.
Unfortunately, there was no if.
Zhu Xiongying looked at Lan Yu's face that had been battered with vicissitudes, and there was a deep scar on it.
The pain of losing a loved one is a hundred, a thousand times more painful than being wounded and bleeding on the battlefield.
This time, Zhu Xiongying was not in a hurry to break free from Lan Yu's arms.
Who can refuse such a tender iron man who loves himself?
Zhu Xiongying gently wiped the tears hanging from the corners of Lan Yu's eyes with his sleeve, and said softly:
"Grandpa, don't be sad. What your grandson just said to you, you must take it to heart! Also, it's a secret between the two of us, don't tell anyone else! ”
"Good! Good! Good! Grandpa knows everything! ”
Next, Lan Yu talked to Zhu Xiongying about a lot of interesting things that happened in the army.
talked about how to attack Yunnan, how to defeat the enemy army, how to capture the Dali Duan clan, and so on.
Talking about the highlights, Lan Yu danced excitedly, and her eyebrows flew and phoenixes danced.
Zhu Xiongying told him about the incident of accidental injury with a toy gun in the palace a few days ago.
Lan Yu was very happy to learn what had happened, and he was proud to have such a smart grandson.
After Zhu Xiongying finished lunch in Lanfu, he took a carriage back to the experimental base.
The subjects were in good spirits and had no physical problems.
Then there's no need to waste any more time and keep observing.
When Dr. Chen returns, the second phase of the smallpox virus vaccination trial can begin early tomorrow morning.
It was almost dark, and the old lady came back.
He brought back smallpox slurry without incident.
The death row inmates were a little nervous and a little expectant.
The next experiment will last seven days at most.
This is a major test for them.
The smallpox virus is dangerous, but after this ghost gate, they can regain their freedom and take away twenty taels of silver.
In the evening, Zhu Xiongying gathered the testers together, wanting to calm everyone's emotions and motivate them by the way.
"Everyone, the second phase of the experiment will start tomorrow morning, so please prepare in advance.
Please don't panic, the vaccinia virus in your body can already defend against the skypox virus.
Therefore, the most important thing for everyone to do now is to overcome their fears.
When the experiment is over, you can take the twenty taels of silver and go back to your own house!" ”
Most of them believe in Zhu Xiongying.
Those who are bold and not afraid of death are excited.
"Good! Good! Good! ”
"It's finally time for this day!"
Zhu Xiongying's gaze scanned each experimenter.
He found that there were a few timid ones, and they were a little cringe.
Probably because they had witnessed the disaster of smallpox and seen its horrors, it left an indelible shadow on their hearts.
Perhaps because of the impulse, they also swore to get involved and wanted to get rid of it together.
But at the critical moment, their faith suddenly collapsed.
The more timid a person is, the easier it is to be scared to death.
They lack courage, and they need a pioneer who is strong at heart.
Zhu Xiongying looked at the death row inmates and asked:
"Who wants to be the first to come tomorrow morning's smallpox virus inoculation experiment?"
As soon as Zhu Xiongying's words fell, a loud voice sounded in the crowd:
"I'll come"
The next morning, everyone woke up.
After one night, the man did not show any symptoms.
As a result, the experimenters were relieved and boldly vaccinated with the smallpox virus.
Next, there will be a few days of observation.
On the other side, the Royal Palace.
Today is a great day to celebrate.
The civil and military officials came to the Fengtian Hall early, and everyone chatted very lively.
Today's protagonists are Fu Youde and Lan Yu, who are about to be rewarded.
At this moment, Lan Yu's heart was mixed.
Excitement, anticipation, and some apprehension.
From time to time, he remembered what his nephew and grandson had said to him yesterday.
Will the child's prophecy come true?
