it is good. "

Song Cheng asked the housekeeper to take the three of them to the study, and when he arrived, the three of them were already waiting there.

As soon as he saw Song Cheng appearing, Gu Zhao took a step forward and told the situation on behalf of the three of them. At this time, he still said something polite. If this matter is not handled well, it will be a great crisis for Song Cheng.

As soon as Song Cheng heard that there was a smallpox patient in the village, he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat on the spot: "Gu Zhao, is what you said true?"

"Before we were afraid of overthinking, so we specially asked two people who had suffered from smallpox to visit those villages. In the end, we only visited one village and came back, because the smallpox patient was found in that village."

Song Cheng was still breathing cold, so he immediately called his subordinates to find someone who had experienced smallpox. He couldn't just listen to Gu Zhao and the others and believe it. He had to ask his own people to check it out in person.

With Song Cheng's order, the people in the yamen must get busy even after work, and when they heard that it was related to smallpox, who would dare to be lazy?That is fatal!

Song Cheng's action speed is much faster than that of Gu Zhao and the others. Even if the city gate is closed, he can open the city gate and leave the city with the sign given by Song Cheng. After arranging these things, Song Cheng turned around and asked Gu Zhao and the others to explain Tell me how you found out, and how far the situation has expanded.

They had already discussed what to say on the way here, but if they couldn't say what Gu Zhen said, it would be deceitful words to confuse the public and play tricks.

So they took it as an excuse to overhear someone mentioning that some people in the village were sick. Because it was not too far away from the soap workshop, they didn't worry about asking someone to inquire about it. As a result, the people who inquired didn't know exactly what happened to those people. What kind of disease, because they didn't show up on the grounds that they couldn't see the wind, this aroused their suspicion, so they found two more people who had smallpox to go secretly to investigate.

Although the officials who left the city did not come back so soon, after hearing this, Song Cheng can basically conclude that the existence of smallpox patients is true, so he immediately took the three of them and Gu Mu, who was by Gu Zhao's side, to the government office, and let the housekeeper Tell your wife that you may live in the yamen for a long time during this period, and at the same time ask your wife to take some precautions and guard the door.

In the yamen, other officials and officials were waiting for Song Cheng. They were shocked when they received the letter. They dared not delay any time. Even if they went to bed, they had to get up immediately and rush back to the government office.

Song Cheng brought Gu Zhao and the others along, and discussed with a group of subordinates that they should quickly come up with a charter on how to prevent smallpox and how to stop the source of smallpox from spreading. To get the exact news, Song Cheng still had to send a letter to the local garrison, and they would be needed to help maintain order in Fucheng.

Gu Zhao also made some suggestions. The knowledge of epidemic prevention in later generations is more advanced and comprehensive than today, because it sounds very feasible, so his suggestions were adopted, and other officials gave Gu Zhao a high look. It seems that this Gu Xiucai is not It's just a false name, but it does have some real skills, no wonder Mr. Song looks at it differently.

This night, the yamen was brightly lit, and Mrs. Song asked the servants of the Song Mansion to bring some snacks to eat. In the middle of the night, the people who had left the city came back and cleaned them up according to the method that Baozhao and the others said. They revealed the situation of their investigation, and it really was smallpox!

They also investigated the other two villages, and they were also smallpox patients!

Some officials got angry on the spot. They didn't report the smallpox disease. It has spread to three villages. This is what they found out. I don't know how many people didn't find out. Do you know how serious the consequences will be?

If someone from these villages spread smallpox into Fucheng, the entire population of Fucheng would be in danger. Thinking about such a scene makes them shudder.

Song Cheng immediately ordered the city gates to be sealed off, and people were strictly prohibited from entering and leaving. At the same time, he sent people to seal the three villages first, and then sent people to ask for assistance from the garrison.

One order after another was issued from the government office, to report to the top, and to report the matter to the imperial court as quickly as possible. That night, the people in the city who were close to the street would often be awakened by the sound of horseshoes. Don't know what happened outside.

After the order was issued, Song Cheng asked everyone to take a break. Naturally, the rest place was also in the government office, and it was impossible to let them go back. Only when the smallpox was completely sealed off and the crisis passed, everyone could rest easy.

Song Cheng also had to close his eyes and take a break, because there was a bigger battle ahead, and he, the magistrate, had to preside over it.

Gu Zhao followed. Gu Mu knew that his brother was going to talk about smallpox prevention, so of course he followed. Song Ze and Qi Yunfei thought they were on the same front, and they wanted to go in and out together.

Seeing the four of them following behind neatly, Song Cheng would have laughed at any other time, but now he is in the mood to laugh, he has a terrible headache.

But at the same time, I'm glad that Gu Zhao and the others didn't carelessly let go when they heard such a thing, otherwise, when the smallpox epidemic broke out, not to mention whether he would be uploaded, even his position as the magistrate, I don't know if he can hold on. , it is very likely that he will be held accountable by the court.

So at this moment, he was very patient with Gu Zhao and the others, and said: "You guys also go to rest, I'll ask someone to find a place for you, and stay in the yamen for now."

"Master Song, I have something to explain to Master Song."

"Okay, come in with me."

Song Cheng naturally has a place to rest here. After bringing the four of them in, the servants around him immediately brought them tea and refreshments.

Gu Zhao took a sip of tea and quickly said something important: "Master Song, I have a method, which has a great possibility of preventing smallpox infection."

Song Cheng was pinching his brows, and looked at Gu Zhao in surprise after hearing this: "Gu Zhao, you can't joke around at this time, can you make sure what you said is true?"

"Your Excellency, you may invite the best doctor in this city to listen to it, and I am willing to take the lead in trying this method myself." Gu Zhao said firmly.

"Brother, let me come." Gu Mu snapped, "My health is better than my brother's."

"What way? Why don't we do it?" Song Ze and Qi Yunfei also rushed, they didn't expect that Gu Zhao was talking about this matter, can there really be a foolproof preventive method?

Song Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, this kind of thing is robbed?However, it can be seen that these people have a good relationship and want to rush to take risks.

"Don't grab it yet, I'll ask someone to invite the doctor over here, and let's listen to what Gu Zhao has to say when the doctor comes."

"it is good."

After discovering the smallpox patient, Song Cheng recruited doctors from all over the city as the magistrate, because it was not yet dawn, and the number of doctors summoned was limited, so he only invited the doctors from the best medical centers. Regarding the matter, no doctor dared to neglect it, so he rushed to the government office in a hurry.

Soon three doctors were invited over, and after bowing to Song Cheng, Song Cheng opened his mouth to tell the reason for inviting them over.

"Can it prevent smallpox infection? But using pox paste? It's not completely safe." A doctor heard of the method of preventing smallpox by using human pox, which is equivalent to artificially infecting smallpox again. It is therefore more dangerous.

Gu Zhao came out and faced the questioning eyes of the three doctors, he was not angry. This is not something that can be convincing with a shock of a tiger's body. His age is here, and he has never been known to be good at medicine. It is normal to have doubts, and Gu Zhao also regrets that he cannot heal.

After saluting the three doctors, Gu Zhao said: "It's not the vaccination method of human pox, but to replace human pox with vaccinia. Cows also have pox, but I accidentally discovered that some people were infected with vaccinia during this process. There was no death, so I thought about it a little bit, and then I deliberately collected more information about it. Later, I did find an example. I had contact with a person who was infected with cowpox, and later came into contact with a smallpox patient. I didn’t get sick and got infected again, so I thought, maybe this method of vaccination with vaccinia is much more effective and safer than human pox.”

"Originally, I wanted to check a few more cases to confirm my speculation. Unfortunately, things happened suddenly, so I had to take a risk. I would like to try the vaccinia vaccination method myself, and then send me to a village where smallpox patients appear, so I can see how it works. .”

"Brother!" Gu Mu was still terrified when he heard that.

The same is true for Song Ze and Qi Yunfei. It sounds very dangerous. What if it doesn't work and Gu Zhao is passed on to smallpox again?That's a close call!

The three doctors didn't quite believe Gu Zhao's words at first, but when they heard that he was willing to try it himself and risk himself, all three of them respected him.

Song Cheng couldn't make up his mind, but he was also very clear that if it was true that the vaccinia vaccination method was a complete preventive method as Gu Zhao said, and it was reported to the court, it would definitely be a great contribution, far from what was offered before. If the method of canned food can be compared, Gu Zhao will be appreciated by the people all over the world.

But asking Gu Zhao to take the risk himself made Song Cheng hesitate.

The three doctors discussed with each other and quickly came up with a decision.

The three doctors invited were all very medically virtuous, and after discussion, it was decided that two of them would accompany Gu Zhao to the smallpox village, and one would stay outside to support him. Of the two doctors who went, only one had smallpox. This means that another person also took the risk.

Song Ze and Qi Yunfei still wanted to fight, but Gu Zhao stopped them with his eyes. This time he had to go there himself. This also had his intentions, and he knew very well that vaccination with cowpox was not very risky. Before the smallpox virus became extinct, the smallpox vaccine was also extracted from cowpox.

But Gu Mu insisted on following, Gu Zhao was worried that he would be left behind, and he had to follow quietly, and the risk was not too great, so he agreed to take him, which made Gu Mu very happy.

Seeing that they had all made up their minds, Song Cheng, as the magistrate, no longer hesitated, and ordered people to look for cows with pox, and once they were found, they would be sent to the village with smallpox.

The cow with the pox was found quickly, and Gu Zhao entrusted the outside affairs and Gu Yao and Uncle Zhang's family to Song Ze and Qi Yunfei to take care of them. The doctor rushed to the epidemic area.

Before leaving, Gu Zhao persuaded Song Ze and Qi Yunfei in this way, because of the relationship with the Marquis of Yongning, he needed this credit, let him go to experiment with the adventure himself, this credit can not be discounted, and anyone in the court would be grateful He was speechless, and told them not to send letters to Shuiyun Village for the time being, and not to spread his news for the time being.

At this time, the three villages where smallpox patients were found had been sealed off by officers and soldiers, and the people in the village who had been kept in the dark knew that someone had smallpox. ?If it weren't for the fear of contracting the disease, everyone would gather to smash the house that concealed the sick.

The village was blocked and only allowed to enter but not to exit. Many villagers fell into despair. This was tantamount to letting them wait to die. On the side of the road, of course, most of the adults in the family tied the children firmly at home and were not allowed to leave the house.

Both the village head and Li Zheng came forward to mobilize with the officials who came from the government office to preach the knowledge of epidemic prevention.

The first thing to do is to isolate the patients together, otherwise it will only cause more people to get sick. The village head is leading people to check from house to house, and no one is allowed to be missed.

The village head and Li Zheng were also afraid, but in this position, they had to take the lead in doing things, otherwise, even if they didn't die from the epidemic, this job would have to be erased.

When two people with medicine boxes appeared in the village, some villagers became excited after seeing it: "A doctor really came, and a doctor came to treat us. The prefect doesn't care about us anymore."

Completely sealing off the village, preventing people from leaving or entering, is what makes people most desperate. It is tantamount to giving up their entire village. Whether they can survive is completely resigned to fate, and maybe an entire village can die. .

A doctor surnamed Li stood up and said: "The magistrate Mr. Song sent us here, and there are doctors from all over the city waiting outside, so you don't need to panic. It is important to cooperate with the government to do a good job."

This somewhat encouraged the hearts of the villagers, and encouraged them to cooperate with the officials' work. They also listened to the health and epidemic prevention knowledge promoted by the officials, and every household became busy.

The outside is also very busy. When the local garrison received a request for help, they did not dare to delay for a moment and brought the army here. Therefore, after the manpower is sufficient, in addition to closing the city and sealing off the three villages, they searched in other villages. Is there any concealment? The disease, and whether they had contact with the sick people in the three villages, all those who had contact were concentrated and isolated, not only to prevent the spread of the disease, but also to detect the disease as soon as possible and treat it as soon as possible.

This suggestion was put forward by Gu Zhao, that is, the so-called close contacts, because the smallpox virus has an incubation period, and it does not burst out once it is infected. The so-called sickness is the virus, and the close contacts are likely to be virus carriers.

Only in this way can the virus be better contained and the smallpox virus prevented from spreading further.

The village chief arranged housing for the four of Gu Zhao. After they settled down, the first thing the two doctors did was to inoculate Gu Zhao with vaccinia pox. The earlier the vaccination, the sooner the effect will be seen. If the vaccination is successful, it can be quickly spread in this area. In this way, even if someone brings out the disease, or there are undiscovered carriers, smallpox can also be controlled.

Gu Zhao took off his coat, leaving only his inner coat, with the sleeves rolled up high to expose his upper arms, and he said briskly, "Come on, I'm very confident, I will succeed."

Dr. Li was amused by his bold appearance, and said: "If you ask Gu Xiucai to say good things, if you can succeed, it will be a great merit to the country and the people."

"Brother, there's me." Gu Mu also took off his clothes in twos and twos, exposing his entire arm.

Gu Zhao laughed, and pulled his shirt back a little: "Don't be cold, don't get vaccinated but get a cold."

Gu Mu obediently let Gu Zhao move.

Dr. Li and another Dr. Zhao lamented that the relationship between the two brothers is really good, which is commendable.

After the vaccination method was proposed by Gu Zhao, the three doctors also discussed it and thought it was feasible, instead of using the smallpox vaccination method, that is, blowing the acne scab powder into the nasal cavity of the person, these two are not indecisive Temperament, everything has been decided, so he took a knife decisively, and after roasting it on the fire, he cut a small cut on Gu Zhao Gu Mu's arm, and then smeared the pox paste taken from the cow When you go to the wound, you must be in contact with the wound, otherwise it will be a waste of time.

The wound was not big, so it was exposed to the outside, and the two of them wrapped up their clothes again, and the next step was to observe the reaction after vaccination.

The two doctors did not stay, but took protective measures to treat the patients who were quarantined in the village.

They were the first to come, and at noon, another doctor entered the village, which made the two doctors, Li and Zhao, more relaxed. They also brought medicinal materials, and the village also had a strong medicinal smell, which was not annoying to the villagers. On the contrary, the smell is reassuring, which means that the government is really doing its best to treat them instead of giving up on them.

The village became orderly, because it was discovered early, and everything was developing in a good direction.

Such a big commotion, and the mobilization of the garrison to seal the city and strictly prohibit entry and exit, unless there is a special pass order from the government office, the entire Qingling Mansion was in an uproar, asking what happened, Song Cheng naturally sent officials to post the notice, and He preached about the current situation everywhere to appease the emotions of the people, and the city has also entered a state of martial law. Although it is not known whether smallpox disease has been brought into the city, on the one hand, officials are sent to search, and on the other hand, the people are also required to supervise each other. Those who have symptoms will report to the government immediately, and the government will deal with it.

Song Cheng asked people to report the situation of the three villages discovered today, as well as the current number of smallpox patients and the government's handling measures. This is to reassure the people and tell everyone that the current situation is not serious. Stop the epidemic at the source and prevent it from spreading.

The big family immediately closed the door and locked the yard, neither the master nor the servants were allowed to enter or leave, so as not to bring in the sickness from outside.

The common people are also very flustered, and now they can't leave the city, so they can only listen to the government's orders, stay at home obediently and don't run around, so as not to get sick.

Because the work was done well, there was no panic at the moment.

But when Gu Zhen, who lived in the inn, heard such propaganda, she was so startled that she almost collapsed on the ground, and then she was about to leave the inn and go out of the city. No one can go out without the magistrate's warrant, so the guests might as well wait patiently for a few days.

Gu Zhen is going crazy, has the city been closed so early?But she knew that this time the incident was quite big, many people died, how could she stay in the city and wait to die?

Shuiyun Village was originally far away from Fucheng. This wave of epidemic did not affect Shuiyun Village at all. The village was closed, and few people knew what was going on outside. Song Ze, who was still studying at the county school, heard the news about Fucheng. Tell Song's mother, and Song's mother told Gu's family, so she would know that such a big thing happened in Fucheng. Later, I heard that even the magistrate was not spared from getting sick and died, which is why his family was not killed. condemn.

Gu Zhen only remembered that it erupted when it was very cold, so although she urged Wu Yuliang to leave, she wasn't really that anxious, but she didn't expect the city to be closed so soon.

Gu Zhen didn't believe in evil, so she rushed out to the gate of the city to have a look. The gate was indeed tightly closed, and there were many soldiers guarding it. Although a small gate was left for people to enter and exit, the inspection was very strict. At that time, there were more than a dozen vehicles and horses that were stopped, and they were all reprimanded to stay away from the city gate, otherwise they would all be taken down for questioning.

Gu Zhen's face turned pale with horror, and she really couldn't get out. She went back to the inn like a wandering ghost, and ran into Wu Yuliang who was chasing her on the way.

Seeing Wu Yuliang, Gu Zhen burst out full of fear and anger. She went up and threw her fist at Wu Yuliang, cursing at the same time, "It's all about you, a villain. I told you to leave early. Why don't you leave early? I want to leave now." I can't even leave, I'm going to be killed by you, why do you drag me down if you want to die?"

"You idiot, do you really think that I will like you? Why do you let me like you? Just rely on your Wu family's small grocery store? Get out of here, go to hell!"

……

Gu Zhen spoke indiscriminately, beating, cursing and kicking Wu Yuliang, making passers-by blind. When Qi is brought into the city, it is the right thing for the government to block the gates of the city at this time, otherwise those big families can escape, where can the little people escape?

Wu Yuliang felt chills all over his body when he heard the words telling him to die one by one, and could no longer deceive himself.

Gu Zhao, who was outside to seal off the village, didn't know that he had exposed the epidemic in advance, which led to the early closure of the city, and sealed Gu Zhen in Qingling Mansion City, so he couldn't go anywhere.

But now Gu Zhao has completely left Gu Zhen behind. Apart from serving as an early warning, what other uses can she have?How could the current epidemic and vaccination matters be more important?This is a matter of how many lives are at stake.

Gu Zhao and Gu Mu couldn't go anywhere because they had been inoculated with cowpox, and they were a little bored. But after a while, an official sent them a batch of things, including pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and books. Gu Zhao knew when he saw these. , it was Song Ze's idea, it's really nice to have such a friend.

There was also a letter from Gu Yao. Gu Yao stayed at home and did not go to the workshop according to his uncle's words. Unexpectedly, his uncle would never come back. Knowing what his uncle did, Gu Yao's mood can be imagined. Knowing that, she wished to come with her uncle, so Song Ze and Qi Yunfei tried to persuade her, so she had to write a letter telling uncle and Mu Mu to protect themselves, otherwise she would come and take care of them in person.

Not only did Gu Zhao laugh at this seemingly threatening words, but Gu Mu also laughed at it, jokingly said, "The eldest niece is really filial."

Gu Zhao patted his head: "You are so cheap that you can't stop."

Gu Mu laughed happily.

They left someone outside their house to take care of them. If anything unusual happened to the two of them, they needed to call someone outside to bring back the two doctors, Li and Zhao, so as not to cause any accidents.

The two read a book and wrote a letter to Gu Yao by the way. It wasn't until noon when the two doctors, Li and Zhao, were about to rest and eat, that they came back to take a look at them and check the wounds on their arms.

It turned out that nothing happened to the two of them, no fever or acne, and the wounds were normal. Of course, they haven't been completely relieved until now. When other doctors came over, they heard about Gu Zhao and Gu Mu. Some doctors also came to watch their wounds. Although they felt that the two were a little whimsical, if it really worked, they had to admit that it was a great merit that benefited the country and the people.

The reply letter to Gu Yao was sent out on the same day, but because it was out of the epidemic area, the storage of this letter was very particular, and it was not allowed to touch it directly with hands. Even when Gu Yao read the letter, he also took precautions. The letters are also read through the cloth and destroyed after reading.

But it is impossible for Gu Yao to be completely relieved, unless Gu Zhao and Gu Mu come out of the epidemic area intact, so during this period of time, they are doomed to worry endlessly.

There is something that Gu Zhao and the others did not expect. They actually ate instant noodles that night. When they saw the instant noodles delivered, both of them showed surprise expressions. This food is convenient to eat, and it is very convenient to supply the army guarding outside or other staff.

Well, Gu Zhao also finds it quite convenient, especially since the weather is quite cold and he can have a hot meal.

One night passed, and the next morning, the first thing the two doctors, Li and Zhao got up, was to check on Gu Zhao and Gu Mu's condition.

Before taking off his clothes, Gu Zhao said, "I feel a little itchy around the wound."

"Let's take a look." Dr. Li said worriedly.

Gu Zhao exposed his arm, and the two doctors found pimples around the wound, but there was only a small area around the wound, and there was no sign of acne on other parts of his body. The same was true for Gu Mu, and the two still had no signs of acne. Signs of fever.

The two doctors, Li and Zhao, had a discussion, which indicated that the vaccinia pox had played a role in the two of them. If they can pass this test smoothly, they may really be like those who have had smallpox, and will not be affected by smallpox again. Infected.

The two doctors recorded the situation of the two in detail, and the item was also sent to Song Cheng at the same time. Song Cheng also knew about Gu Zhao's condition after being vaccinated with vaccinia, so far everything is fine.

When there was nothing to do in the morning, the two of them were basking in the sun and painting in the yard. In the words of later generations, Gu Zhao’s behavior was called "a man addicted to vegetables." He picked up the book and looked at it, but most of his eyes fell on the painting in front of Gu Zhao.

Gu Mu was very satisfied with this kind of life, there was only him and his brother, and there was no third person to disturb them.

It's a pity that just as such thoughts flashed through his mind, there was movement outside again, several people's footsteps were approaching from far away, and Gu Mu stared out of the door displeased.

The official guard outside the door shouted: "Young Master Gu, two friends who claim to be Young Master Gu have come to visit Young Master Gu."

Gu Zhao put down the paintbrush in his hand in surprise, who could it be?Ordinarily, Song Ze and Qi Yunfei were both persuaded by him to stay in the city, and it is impossible to show up here, so who else would it be? "Dare to ask who is coming from outside?"

At this time, a familiar hearty voice sounded: "Young Master Gu, it's me, Shi Dingshan and Mao Jiangtao. We learned that Young Master Gu is here, and we two brothers have come to join Young Master Gu. I hope Young Master Gu will not dislike my clumsiness."

Gu Zhao was very pleasantly surprised when he heard that, he didn't think that these two people would really come to him after hearing his words of poaching, and they thought it was normal no matter how they chose Gu Zhao, but they never expected that they would choose at this moment Coming here for refuge shows their sincerity, and Gu Zhao is also very grateful.

"Brother Shi and Brother Mao are too polite. If you can come, you should take the risk to come here. I, Gu Zhao, am grateful, but Brother Shi and Brother Mao really don't need to stay in this village."

Sting Shan patted his chest and said: "Mr. Gu, what are you talking about? If Mr. Gu can come, the two of us can't come? Besides, when we come, we can beat you up. If you have any inconvenience, you can call us two brothers." .”

Mao Jiangtao also echoed from the side: "Yes, my lord, we two brothers have the strength to do it, and I hope you don't dislike it."

Gu Zhao knew in his heart that these two people would not be driven away and would stay here, so he talked to them through the door, and both of them wore masks for protection when they entered.

They didn't know what Gu Zhao did here at first, but they went to Gu's house to look for Gu Zhao before they found out that he was here. The two of them had made full consideration before coming, so they simply resigned from the job in the escort agency, leaving no future for themselves. Lu defected to Gu Zhaolai.

Therefore, after knowing where Gu Zhao was going, they came here non-stop. Since they decided to join Gu Zhao, of course they would go wherever Gu Zhao was. in a safe place outside.

Through the conversation, Gu Zhao knew that both of them had never had smallpox, so it would be a bit dangerous to stay in this village, so Gu Zhao suggested that they could be vaccinated like him. Gu Zhao was really thinking about them, because He was well aware of the safety and reliability of vaccinia vaccination, and Gu Zhao also assured them that it was feasible.

After discussing with each other, Shi Dingshan and Mao Jiangtao decided to follow the young master's instructions and get vaccinated like the young master. In fact, they often run darts outside. They also encountered the situation Gu Zhao said, but they never thought about it as much as Gu Zhao did. .

What they have to worry about is that if both of them are vaccinated, there will be no one around the young master to order, and Gu Zhao's answer is that he has nothing to order others, and someone will bring in the food, drink and clothing in the small courtyard. They go out.

After Shi Dingshan and Mao Jiangtao made up their minds, they called two doctors, Li and Zhao. The two doctors checked Gu Zhao and Gu Mu carefully before agreeing to their approach. In Gu Zhao's words, we can add a few more experimental reference subjects. , one case and two cases can be exceptions, but three cases and four cases can always explain some problems.

If it weren't for the busy treatment of patients, Dr. Zhao, who has never had smallpox, would have tried it himself, but unfortunately they are all very busy now.

Therefore, Shi Dingshan and Mao Jiangtao, who had not been here for a long time, also lived in this small farmhouse. In addition to reading books and painting, you can also listen to Shi Mao's two stories about their experience of running darts. Some jokes are so shocking that even Gu Mu listened with great interest.

At the same time, the pimples around Gu Zhao Gu Mu's wound also began to grow, and even suppurated. The concerned doctors were all nervous, but there was still no sign of acne in other parts of the body, and the reaction was still in the small area around the wound. And also no signs of fever.

Shi Dingshan and Mao Jiangtao were only one day later than Gu Zhao, and their symptoms were exactly the same as those of the two. First, pimples appeared, and then the pimples grew and festered. However, after ten days, Gu Zhao and Gu Mu's wounds scabbed and fell off first. Leaving an imprint the size of a copper coin proves that what is happening these days is not a hallucination.

"Successful?" Dr. Li and Dr. Zhao couldn't believe it. The degree of safety was beyond their imagination. Now there is only one last step left, which is to confirm that the two of them will not be infected with smallpox again.

How to do it?The two doctors, Li and Zhao, who were in charge of this matter looked at each other, and finally Gu Zhao suggested the quickest way: "Take human acne paste, this is the fastest and most effective way to prove it, and now only the two of us can prove it. I am absolutely sure that I will not be infected."

They have come to this point, success, that is to benefit all people. Thinking of this result, the two doctors, Li and Zhao, gritted their teeth and agreed to Gu Zhao's proposal. It is useless for Gu Zhao to stop Shi Dingshan and Mao Jiangtao. People wanted to delay for a day or two, and wait for their scabs to fall off for them to test, but Gu Zhao didn't agree.

By this point in time, the epidemic had been basically brought under control. Except for the addition of two additional villages that were sealed off, there was not a single case of smallpox patients in Qingling Mansion. He stayed with Gu Zhao and the others specially, keeping an eye on the situation of the two of them the whole time.

Moreover, Dr. Zhao also started to get vaccinated. This matter was still spread in the village. I don't know who took the lead. Some villagers actually wanted to get vaccinated on their own initiative.

Song Cheng and other government officials, as well as Song Ze, Qi Yunfei and Gu Yao, also paid close attention to the situation of Gu Zhao's small courtyard.

Under the high attention of everyone, Gu Zhao was still alive and kicking, living a good life.

The smallpox epidemic in Qingling Mansion caused an uproar in the court after Song Cheng submitted an urgent report. Now His Majesty immediately dispatched officials to deal with it, and brought the two imperial doctors in the palace to hurry. In the past, it was necessary to contain the epidemic within the territory of Qingling Mansion and not spread to the surrounding areas.

The emperor gave the order to die, and the dignitaries in the capital also paid attention to it. They didn't want the epidemic in Qingling Mansion to spread to the capital if it could not be controlled.

After Gu Zhao was inoculated with vaccinia and he was in good condition, before the people from the capital arrived at Qingling Mansion, Song Cheng sent another brochure. Take a moment, and Gu Zhao's current vaccination status.

Before the book was in the hands of the emperor himself, people from the capital had already arrived at Qingling Mansion. Before coming, they had prepared for the worst, but found that everything was in order except for the closure of the city, which was completely different from what they had imagined. same.

At first, the people in the city were flustered, but because Song Cheng sent officials to report the epidemic situation every day, the more they listened to the people, the more they felt more at ease, and they completely followed the government. As a result, there were fewer people walking around outside. Not much difference.

This made people from the capital almost think that they had gone to the wrong place, but after listening to Song Cheng's work report and taking them to several epidemic areas, they realized that it was not the wrong place, but that Song Cheng had done too much work. Well, it was discovered very timely. Once discovered, the epidemic was immediately controlled at the source, so there was the normal order they saw.
