Chapter 246 247 Success

Mr. Tu did not expect that the Zou family would accept it so calmly, and said to Tu Dianshi: "Excuse me, sir, go get the shochu."

The Zou family's daughter-in-law knelt down in front of Mr. Wen in tears and begged him: "Doctor Wen, my eldest son and my younger son are still having a fever, and my younger son is covered with acne. Please save their lives."

Mr. Wen looked at the woman and shook his head and said: "Your two children have already been infected and cannot be vaccinated with pox. They can only take medicine and slowly recover. Whether they can be cured or not, I will leave it to fate."

Tu Dianshi entered the yard with a jar of spirits. Mr. Wen lit the wine as Li Yu said, took out a thin-edged dagger and burned it on the fire for a while. He took a cotton swab from the medicine box and soaked it in the wine. , said to Old Man Zou: "You come first."

Mr. Wen opened Old Man Zou's clothes and exposed his arm. After wiping his arm with a cotton swab soaked in wine a few times, he made a cross incision on his arm. He took a new cotton swab, dipped it in cowpox juice and applied it on the incision. , smiled and said: "Okay, next one."

After a while, Mr. Wen vaccinated all the people in Old Han Zou's family who had not been infected with smallpox. Mr. Wen told them: "Don't scratch the wound with your hands, and don't get it wet. It will be cured in more than half a month." The wounds will scab and fall off, so don’t be afraid if you have some fever.”

Old man Zou bowed with gratitude from his family and said, "Thank you very much, Doctor Wen."

Mr. Wen waved his hand and picked up the medicine box: "You're welcome, we are still busy going to a few other households, just remember what I told you."

The Zou family sent Tu Dianshi and Mr. Wen to the door. Tu Dianshi and Mr. Wen closed the courtyard door and walked towards the other house.

Then we went to the Yang family and the Liu family, and they were all successfully vaccinated. When they went to the opposite family, they were unwilling to vaccinate them anyway. Tu Dianshi persuaded them, and the family even said that Mr. Wen was trying to get them. Making drug introductions and conducting experiments.

Mr. Wen picked up the medicine box and said to Tu Dianshi: "Doctors and patients have to talk about fate. It seems that I have no fate with them. Let's not force it. There are still several people who have to leave!" Tu Dianshi looked at the family with a confused face. He sneered: "I don't know what is good and what is evil."

After visiting two more houses, the pox juice in the porcelain bottle was used up. After Tu Dianshi sent someone to the village to get the pox juice, Mr. Wen was so busy that he inoculated more than a dozen households around the Zou family with cowpox.

After planting, Mr. Wen was exhausted and told Tu Dianshi: "Be careful. If you encounter any problems tonight, go to the Yamen to see me. I will come back tomorrow morning."

"Okay, please go back and rest for a while. I'm watching over here!"

Since the outbreak of smallpox, the two medicine halls in Qingchuan City have been paying close attention to the spread of smallpox.

When the shopkeeper of Huichun Hall heard that Mr. Wen was inoculating people on East Street, he and the doctor laughed at Mr. Wen and said, "I thought I was really capable, but it turns out it's just that. The vaccination can be done long ago, and it's your turn to come." .”

"The shopkeeper is right. I don't know how many predecessors have tried this method of vaccination. Although some people have survived, many people have died." The doctor knew that Mr. Duiwen, the shopkeeper, often performed free clinics on the street and prescribed medicine to patients. They are all cheap and effective medicinal materials, which saves the shop a lot of money. I have long been dissatisfied with Mr. Wen, but he is the old man of the county magistrate's family, and he can't do anything to him, and he has to flatter him. , now that I have taken the opportunity, why don’t you mock me enough!

In the days that followed, Mr. Wen and Tu Dianshi guarded East Street together, visiting every day to check on those who had been vaccinated with cowpox.

A few days later, Mr. Wen checked and found that red pimples appeared on the arms of those who had been vaccinated with cowpox. After questioning, everyone said there was no discomfort.

At this time, the child of the Zou family who was the first to be infected with smallpox still could not resist the disease and was killed by smallpox at a young age.

The Zou family's daughter-in-law was so heartbroken that she hugged the child desperately and refused to let go. Everyone finally snatched the child from her arms. Seeing that Mr. Wen did not contract smallpox after such contact, he became more and more convinced that cowpox can prevent and cure smallpox.

After a few days, the papules turned into pustules. After more than half a month, only a superficial cross scar was left on the arms of those people. During this period, except for some discomfort in the first two days, these people who were vaccinated with cowpox had no symptoms. A man died of cowpox.

"Master, it's successful, it's successful! Did you see it in the Heavenly Spirit? You will no longer be afraid of the ravages of smallpox!" Mr. Wen knelt on the ground excitedly, looked up at the sky, and shouted loudly.

When the people who were successfully vaccinated against pox saw Mr. Wen shouting to the sky, they also looked to the sky with joy and shouted: "Successful, we will never be infected with smallpox again."

Mr. Wen went home excitedly and told Li Yu the news of the successful vaccination. Li Yu looked at this benevolent old man and was moved to tears, admiring his selfless dedication.

Li Yu thought this and said to Mr. Wen with a smile: "Sir, you have been tired for so many days. Go and wash up first. I have asked Mrs. Liu to stew the pork ribs and lotus root soup that you like."

Mr. Wen rubbed his hands and couldn't restrain his joy: "Don't be busy now. After I wash my hands, I will call Xiao Xi back from the Yamen and vaccinate Xiao Xi with cowpox. You have to take care of the child, so you have to vaccinate him some time later." "

Li Yu nodded and said, "It's okay, I can plant it for Ruyi and the others too, and the children and I will plant it later."

The crisis was resolved in this way. In the following days, Mr. Wen vaccinated everyone in the Yamen and Zhuangzi with cowpox.

The shopkeeper of Qingchuan Pharmacy, who was paying close attention to the vaccination situation in the city, also learned about the successful vaccination and quickly passed the news to the owner of Qingzhou Pharmacy.

The shopkeeper of Huichun Hall also learned the news that Mr. Wen had cured smallpox, and he thought excitedly: Whoever masters the formula to cure smallpox will master an inexhaustible source of wealth. I have to talk to Mr. Wen about cooperation as soon as possible. His promotion to the boss is just around the corner.

The shopkeeper went to the county government office with gifts and asked to see Mr. Wen. After meeting Mr. Wen, he raised his thumb and flattered him: "Mr. Wen is a model worthy of our generation's learning!"

Mr. Wen has always disliked the shopkeeper of Huichun Hall. He thought he was too philistine. Mr. Wen felt that he must be here to cure smallpox. Mr. Wen glanced at him and said calmly: "Shopkeeper, please come to the Three Treasures Hall if you have anything to do. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Seeing Mr. Wen being so direct, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Dr. Wen, I want to talk to you about cooperation."

Mr. Wen looked at him and smiled and said: "Cooperation! You are talking about the smallpox vaccination, right? I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I don't plan to use it to make money. I want to make the vaccination recipe public to the world."

"Make it public to the world," the shopkeeper looked at Mr. Wen as if he were a fool. "Doctor Wen, do you know how much money this recipe can make? You just made it public to the world so easily?"

Mr. Wen glanced at him indifferently, took the tea and ignored him, and the shopkeeper of Huichun Hall left in anger.
