The seventh year of the Zhenguan era. With a thunderous bang, I transmigrated and became Wei Shuyu.
As the beloved son of Wei Zheng, shouldn't I be helping my father solve his problems?
Chapter 457 I will miss Minister Wei!
"This should be chickenpox, right?"
Sun Simiao stepped forward and examined it carefully.
"The one over there," Wei Shuyu reminded him.
Sun Simiao glanced at it and saw that it was also a pimple.
Seeing the cow's listless appearance, he fell into deep thought...
Then he took out the silver needle.
I popped the pimple with a quick flick.
Holy crap!
"Are you crazy?!"
You're just an old man, who gave you the courage to provoke an old ox?
really……
The old ox, stung by the thorn, immediately kicked out with its back leg.
Sun Simiao also realized what was happening.
But with his old arms and legs, how could he possibly dodge?
It looked like he was about to kick Sun Simiao.
Wei Shuyu grabbed the ox's horns and swung it backward with a sudden jerk...
Outside the courtyard.
Choi Shin-ki and his two buddies are bragging and joking around...
Suddenly a shadow appeared in the sky.
The three creatures looked up and were immediately confronted with a massive bull!
"Damn it, enemy attack!"
Qin Shandao stood in front of the two.
But looking at the old ox's enormous size...
"Wow, this is huge."
"If we can't hold on, we'd better get out of here!"
Swoosh.
They've run away again.
"..."
The two of them stared wide-eyed.
Xiao Shandao is disloyal!
However, the two of them didn't dare to be careless and unleashed their full power...
Swoosh...
Feeling weak all over, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
Nothing matters in the face of death.
His agile figure was just as good as Qin Shandao's.
Bang.
The old ox crashed to the ground, creating a large crater.
The three of them huddled together, trembling.
This violent method is definitely the boss's.
Inside the courtyard.
Sun Simiao's eyes widened, his jaw nearly dropping to the floor in shock.
Is this still human power?
"Oh my, which brave man has stepped in to help?"
"I am extremely grateful."
Looking around.
Wei Shuyu was seen repeatedly cupping his hands in front of the empty space.
"..."
Go to hell.
Do you think I'm blind?
It was you who threw the old ox out.
However, since Wei Shuyu had saved his life, and he didn't want to be exposed, Sun Simiao wouldn't fail to be grateful.
He immediately cupped his hands in thanks to the void and said, "Thank you for your rescue, brave warrior."
An old man and a young boy put on a pantomime in the courtyard.
"Brother Wei."
Seeing Wei Shuyu lower his hand, Sun Simiao let out a soft exclamation.
"Dr. Sun the Divine Physician".
Wei Shuyu cupped his hands in greeting, and the two became acquainted again.
"I don't know what you meant by the smallpox on the cow just now..." Sun Simiao probably guessed something, but dared not say for sure.
"smallpox!"
"really……"
Sun Simiao clenched his fist and then walked around in the courtyard.
"Fight poison with poison, fight poison with poison..."
"Why didn't I think of using diseases on other livestock to fight poison with poison?"
Sun Simiao seemed somewhat regretful.
If he had discovered it sooner, the people wouldn't have suffered from smallpox.
"Actually, variolation can also be prevented."
Wei Shuyu suddenly explained, "The method by which Doctor Sun removed the pus was also correct."
Smallpox spreads rapidly because its toxins and hormones are in the air.
"It can be inhaled into the respiratory tract, leading to infection."
"If you grind variolation into powder and place it between the nostrils, it can produce resistance."
As Wei Shuyu recounted his story, Sun Simiao suddenly awoke.
He always thought that smallpox pustules were a skin disease, so he chose to apply them to his skin.
Who would have thought it was the respiratory tract!
"However, smallpox has a fatal flaw."
"That's because they didn't know how to control the degree!"
"Smallpox is not a single type, but rather there are many types!"
"If we choose to use a powerful form of smallpox, it could directly kill people!"
"besides……"
Wei Shuyu explained in detail...
Sun Simiao nodded earnestly, like a studious and obedient child.
"May I ask, what are the medicinal properties of cowpox vaccine?"
"Oral administration or topical application?"
After Wei Shuyu finished speaking, Sun Simiao raised a question.
"Cowpox is not fatal."
Wei Shuyu replied, "Some symptoms will pass in a few days."
"The simplest way to completely infect the body and make it develop resistance is to inject it into the body!"
Sun Simiao nodded repeatedly.
They even called in the apprentice medicine boy and had him take out paper and pen to record things together.
After chatting for a while, Wei Shuyu bowed to Sun Simiao and said, "Dr. Sun, I have notified the government to quarantine this area. I hope Dr. Sun will take charge of the prevention measures."
"Once you are vaccinated with cowpox, you will not get smallpox again."
Sun Simiao readily agreed.
He needed to verify and experiment with each one, and then compile the information into a book to record the smallpox vaccine.
If smallpox could really be cured...
That would be a blessing for the whole world!
"I, Sun, will do my utmost!"
Sun Simiao put down his pen and returned the greeting respectfully.
"Thank you for your help, Physician Sun." Wei Shuyu bowed.
I found another job where I don't have to work for free, it's great!
And it was Sun Simiao!
Will people still die in our Wei family's fiefdom?
"Young Master."
Old Wu came out of the house: "This old servant wants to stay here for a few days to keep my grandson company."
"good!"
Wei Shuyu readily agreed.
Then he stepped forward and said, "Dr. Sun will be staying in Chengcheng these days, so you'll be in charge of entertaining him."
Dr. Sun?
Where?
Old Wu looked around and saw that there was no one else besides that old swindler.
"Young...Young Master."
Old Wu pointed at Sun Simiao and stammered, "The Divine Doctor Sun you're talking about isn't him, is it?"
"right."
Old Wu's legs went weak.
Fortunately, Wei Shuyu caught him in time.
"What's wrong?"
"No...it's nothing."
Old Wu said tremblingly, "I just felt that Doctor Sun was very kind and approachable."
Right?
I think so too.
The doctor who doesn't charge money seems incredibly kind.
"You'd better take good care of him these days."
Wei Shuyu whispered, "While he's in Chengcheng, let him give everyone in Chengcheng a full-body checkup!"
"This is free, it doesn't cost any money!"
ah?
Old Wu's expression changed several times.
I hit him, and now I expect him to do things for me for free...
"What's wrong?"
Wei Shuyu asked in confusion.
"No...it's nothing!"
Old Wu wiped away his cold sweat: "I feel a little dizzy, maybe...maybe it's because I just got vaccinated."
Wei Shuyu nodded.
Uncle Wu didn't believe he would lie.
He also didn't believe that Uncle Wu, who was always "loyal and honest," would not resort to violence.
Moreover, with his old arms and legs, he probably couldn't beat Sun Simiao, who regularly practiced physical fitness.
Little did they know...
Qin Shandao practiced boxing in the yard every day, and Old Wu learned some of it sporadically.
His skills were already quite formidable.
at the same time.
The Imperial Palace.
Upon learning of the potential outbreak of smallpox, Li Shimin immediately ordered a lockdown and quarantine.
After the guards left to carry out their orders, Li Shimin frowned deeply.
"Chengcheng..."
"This place looks so familiar."
Li Shimin turned his head and asked, "Wang De, whose fiefdom is this again?"
“Your Majesty, this is the fiefdom of Attendant-in-Ordinary Wei,” Wang De bowed and said.
Um?
Li Shimin asked again, "Say it again, whose is it?"
"Your Majesty, this is the fiefdom of Attendant-in-Ordinary Wei!"
Holy crap!
Doesn't this mean...?
"Cough cough..."
Li Shimin put on a stern face and said solemnly, "The disease is rampant, and my heart is breaking. I hope that the people can overcome this calamity and that the world will be free from disaster from now on."
"Wang De, draft the imperial edict."
"To prevent smallpox from spreading in the court, Minister Wei will not be required to attend court these days."
It was as if they were afraid that Lao Wei wouldn't be able to stay idle.
Li Shimin added, "He is ordered to take full responsibility for the smallpox matter, to reassure the people, and to wait for the smallpox crisis to pass!"
Based on the historical duration of smallpox outbreaks...
This could last for at least several months or even a year.
Doesn't this mean...?
Is it possible for me to go a year without seeing Old Wei?
I am in pain, I am suffering.
I will never see my own Chamberlain again...
"Cough cough..."
Li Shimin coughed and said, "In addition, I will miss Minister Wei!"
