Chapter 278: Visit
Three days later, Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei recovered one after another.
After someone took care of her, Wang Xiujuan planted cowpox for her and Ning Qingxi.
In order to facilitate care, Wang Xiujuan slept in the same room with Ning Qingxi the night after planting cowpox.
There are also Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei in the room.
In the middle of the night, according to Wang Xiujuan's previous instructions, Li Fangchunmei and Li Dafeng respectively subsided the fever of the two.
Perhaps because the child has a strong recovery ability, Ning Qingxi completely reduced his fever after lying down for a day, and Wang Xiujuan also got better in the next two days.
So far, in addition to Ning Changrong, there are three children in the family, and the others have all been vaccinated with cowpox.
Wang Xiujuan touched her forehead, feeling that she was fine, and sat on the edge of the bed and drank millet porridge slowly.
Millet porridge is boiled by Fang Chunmei in the morning, which is most suitable for patients who have little appetite at the beginning of a serious illness, nourishing the stomach and nutrition.
After eating, Wang Xiujuan handed the bowl to Fang Chunmei, Fang Chunmei took it and put it on the table on the side, and Ning Qingxi wiped Wang Xiujuan's mouth with the towel in her hand.
Feeling that she had strength in her body, Wang Xiujuan explained to the two concubines who were busy in the room: "This cowpox inoculation is relatively rough and not suitable for children who are too young. ”
In this regard, Wang Xiujuan is the most authoritative and has the right to speak.
Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei didn't have any doubts after hearing this, but they were a little regretful.
After Fang Chunmei and the others cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks in the room, they left Ning Qingxi to accompany Wang Xiujuan.
As the grandfather and grandson were talking, they heard a voice in the distance.
"Sissy, are you alright?"
Lai Pozi's worried voice sounded outside the door, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Wang Xiujuan raised her eyes and saw that Lai Pozi happened to step in from the threshold.
"Why are you here?" Wang Xiujuanran half sat up.
Lai Pozi said as she walked, and after hearing this, she couldn't help but complain: "You are sick and I can't come to see it?" Tell me about you, if I hadn't asked about Dafeng, I wouldn't have known. ”
Ning Qingxi moved a stool and placed it in front of Wang Xiujuan's bed, and Lai Pozi thanked her and sat down.
She looked at Wang Xiujuan's complexion except that it was a little pale, which was normal, "What's wrong with this?" Why do you still have a fever? ”
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I just saw Dafeng go out and pulled her to ask, if I didn't ask, I wouldn't know you had a fever."
Since Fang Chunmei and Li Dafeng started to inoculate cowpox, Wang Xiujuan has notified her to go out and suspend the sword dance activities in the morning for a few days, otherwise, others may know about it earlier.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Wang Xiujuan said with a smile, she was happy that someone could come to see her.
The two talked for a while, and a familiar voice sounded outside the door.
"Sister Wang, I've come to see you." It was Mrs. Ding's voice.
Ning Qingxi got up from the bed in a hurry, walked to the side and brought a stool to the side of the bed, so that Mrs. Ding could sit down.
Mrs. Ding also had some things in her hand, Ning Qingxi looked at it, Mrs. Ding directly put the things in the basket on the table, she clapped her hands and said, "I heard that you are sick, I brought something to come to see you, Sister Wang, why are you so sick?" ”
After Mrs. Ding put down her things, she walked to Wang Xiujuan's side and sat down with concern.
"Yo, you came early, empty-handed?" After Mrs. Ding sat down, her tone was neither yin nor yang.
Lai Pozi rolled her eyes and choked: "The old hen I brought has already been stewed in the kitchen!" ”
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Wang Xiujuan stopped: "Okay, okay, don't make noise, the noise gives me a headache." ”
When they heard this, they each glared at each other and didn't say anything more.
Mrs. Ding asked with concern: "I said, Sister Wang, what's wrong with you?" Why do you have a good fever? Some time ago, I watched Xixi go out to buy it and let people send it to the door early, what about your two daughters-in-law? There was some suspicion in his tone.
Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei are still very competent as daughters-in-law, and Wang Xiujuan has to explain.
"That's what happened, cowpox was found in my house the other day...... If you get vaccinated, you will ......"
"So these days, my family is taking turns vaccinating and taking turns to take care of people."
When Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Lai opened their mouths, their jaws were already dropping in surprise.
If Wang Xiujuan wasn't still talking, the two would have stood up in shock.
Lai Pozi couldn't control her muscles excitedly, wanted to grab Wang Xiujuan's arm, and remembered that the other party was sick, so she had to grab the sheets with both hands, as if she was looking for a fulcrum for herself, she trembled and said:
"Sissy, are you telling the truth? If you cut it with a knife, you really won't be infected with the plague again in the future? ”
Plague, it's a terrible disease that makes the common people smell and change color.
Mrs. Ding on the side held her breath, staring at Wang Xiujuan with her eyes unpleasantly, waiting for her answer.
Wang Xiujuan has long been accustomed to the reaction of these people when they hear that cowpox can prevent the plague.
This also highlights the difficulty of ancient medical conditions and the horror of plagues.
She reassured categorically: "Of course it is true, otherwise I would not be able to use it on my own family, and you will know if the people who survived smallpox before will never get smallpox again?" It's actually something called antibodies that help them fight smallpox that comes later. ”
"This cowpox vaccination is actually to plant antibodies in our bodies in advance, but it is not as terrifying as directly facing smallpox, and there is no danger to life, at most according to the individual's physique for a few days of fever."
After listening to this, the eyes of the two burst with surprise.
They don't know much about the antibodies that Wang Xiujuan said, but they know that people who have survived smallpox will really not be infected with smallpox again!
Lai Pozi knows Wang Xiujuan a little, and she knows that since Wang Xiujuan is willing to say it, she must not mind that they know.
She tentatively asked, "Can we be cut too?" ”
Mrs. Ding added expectantly: "We are willing to give money." Sister Wang, you say, how much silver can cut a knife? Plant that cow or something? ”
Wang Xiujuan originally wanted to vaccinate these people with cowpox, but he was not sure about the others, and she said that not many people would believe it, after all, this cowpox sounds like a kind of smallpox virus, and normal people can't run away after hearing it, who will cut a knife on their hands to inoculate what cowpox?
But Lai Pozi and they believe her, not to mention that the cowpox is enough, if you don't use it now, when the cow is cured, the cowpox will be gone, and even if you squeeze it down, it will expire, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it won't be long after.
"I don't need any money, I originally wanted to vaccinate my family and then help you vaccinate, if you are willing to trust me, you can come over at night"
As soon as Wang Xiujuan's voice fell, the two of them immediately danced happily, and they didn't have the heart to stay and continue to talk, Wang Xiujuan saw their thoughts, and said a few words to the two casually, and asked them to go back and inform the others.
