Chapter 2070 Sugar Pill
Knowing that the rules cannot be changed, Manbao did not hesitate and asked directly: "What is the bottom number?"
"Ten."
"Then let's start with ten." Manbao asked, "Is there enough in stock?"
Koko responded and explained, "Enough."
When Manbao heard this, she felt relieved, so she immediately asked Keke for ten pills. When she heard a jingling sound in her ears, she knew the deduction was successful.
After a while, there was another ding-dong sound, and I knew the thing had arrived.
So when she reached the foot of the city gate, she closed her eyes and went in to read the instructions.
I quickly scanned the entire thing. All I had to do was swallow it. It would take effect in half an hour to two hours. If the test results didn't meet the standards after two hours...
Manbao is simply omitted, as that is the rule for people in that world.
She went straight to see the medical instructions given to her by Teacher Mo.
Teacher Mo's instructions were very detailed. "Take it. If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or have a fever within half an hour, take it again..."
"If there are no unusual events within two hours, then everything is fine. It's an 89 percent chance. Don't waste time."
Manbao took it to heart, and with a thought, a handful of pills appeared in her sleeve, all wrapped in paper. She looked down and found the paper familiar. She opened it and saw the round, white pills, very similar to the sugar pills she had eaten before.
Manbao looked around and saw that everyone was looking at Bai Shan and Daji who were communicating with the yamen runners in front of him, so he pinched a pill and put it in his mouth. He was about to drink some water to wash it off, but it tasted slightly sweet, with only a faint medicinal flavor. After just a moment in his mouth, it turned into sugar water and went all into his stomach.
Manbao smacked his lips and felt that the medicine was not working quite well.
Then I started to envy them, thinking, if only all their medicines were like this...
But doesn’t the book say that good medicine tastes bitter?
It's so sweet, can it really prevent and treat smallpox?
Manbao was suspicious in her heart, but she did not slow down. She took out a medicine bottle, carefully avoided the pills inside, peeled off the paper and put it into the bottle, then kicked the horse's belly lightly, letting the horse walk to Bai Erlang and signaled him to stretch out his hand.
Bai Erlang reached out his hand in confusion. Didn’t she not want them to get close to her?
Manbao poured a candy…medicine into his hand and said, “Eat it.”
Bai Erlang saw her holding the medicine bottle and thought she was pouring medicine. But then a familiar candy came out. He threw it into his mouth and bit it into pieces. He asked with a crunching sound, "Why did you suddenly think of giving me candy? Hey, why is this candy different from the ones I had before? It even tastes like medicine?"
Manbao said: "It may not be useful to prevent and treat smallpox, but it is better than nothing."
Bai Jilang: ...You should be more careful when lying to others.
Seeing that he had eaten it all, Manbao dismounted and went to look for Baishan and Daji.
A yamen runner took Manbao's door card and ran into the city. Bai Shan turned around and said to her, "They have to inform and get permission before they can enter."
Manbao nodded and poured a candy into his palm, "Eat it."
Bai Shan looked at the candy in his hand, then looked at her, and then ate it, and he could taste the medicinal flavor in it.
Manbao handed the medicine bottle to Daji and whispered, "Take one pill too. Let them each take one pill and watch them eat it."
Daji agreed, even though he felt that this...pill was too similar to the one he had eaten in Qili Village, but he still went.
Bai Shan walked up to Man Bao and saw that she was no longer avoiding him. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, then lowered his voice and asked, "Did he send this?"
Manbao looked around and nodded.
Bai Shan then asked quietly, "Can it be cured?"
Manbao shook his head, "It's just epidemic prevention."
Bai Shan understood. This meant that he couldn't treat the sick, but could only prevent illness for healthy people. But this was also good. As long as there were no new patients, then...
Bai Shan asked in a low voice, "Do you have a recipe?"
Manbao whispered, "Even if we had a recipe, we couldn't make it."
This kind of medicine is patented. Not to mention that she can't get it, even if Teacher Mo researched it and didn't mind giving her the recipe, she still couldn't make it.
Because... it is not made from Chinese medicine.
Manbao felt very sorry. The technology between the two worlds was so different. Otherwise, she could learn the pharmaceutical technology of that world.
But she doesn't have the instruments from that world, and she can't make them. Even if she pays the technology tax and gets a set, it will be useless. If the technology cannot be openly used in this world, it will be useless even if she learns it.
It would be better to just understand a little bit, know what's going on, and then focus on medical skills and pharmaceuticals that she can use.
Bai Shan didn't think about the technical aspect, and thought that the medicine used in this pill was not available in the mortal world, so there was no way.
He sighed, "Then we can only think of a vaccination method."
Manbao nodded, "I thought so too."
In just a few words, Daji had distributed all the pills. He handed the pills to Manbao and whispered, "There are three pills left."
Manbao nodded and whispered to Baishan, "Give it to Brother Yang after we enter the city."
Bai Shan nodded, "Before coming here, Brother Tang was worried about chaos in Xiazhou, and worried that someone would harm Sister-in-law and Brother Qi."
"But this pill isn't 100% effective. It's only 89% effective, so you still have to be careful."
Therefore, Bai Shan was the only one in the group who knew the news, while the others just treated it as a piece of candy, which was better than nothing.
So when waiting to enter the city, they were still very cautious, keeping masks on their faces, for fear that the smallpox virus would take advantage of the opportunity to enter their mouths and noses.
Bai Shan waited for a while, but when no one showed up, he went to talk to the yamen runner, "Is it far from here to the county government office?"
"It's not far. A round trip on horseback would take about four-quarters of an hour. Furthermore, there are checkpoints throughout the city. Especially when leaving from inside, identity verification is required at each checkpoint. The adults will probably have to wait for about an hour."
So long?
This was a bit beyond Manbao and Baishan's expectations. Bai Erlang no longer sat on his horse, but jumped down and asked, "So, Brother Yang... Is County Magistrate Yang currently in charge of the county government?"
"Naturally."
Bai Shan then asked, "Who is the current magistrate Yang and who is in charge in the city?"
"Lord Yang and General Gong."
Manbao asked, "Was it General Gong who helped Lord Yang to surround the Governor's Mansion?"
The bailiff said nothing.
Bai Shan turned around and said to her, "Xiazhou is a strategic military town. General Gong has been guarding Xiazhou City for twelve years. Before that, the Gong family was originally from Xiazhou City."
He whispered, "When the late emperor started the rebellion, the Gong family led 800 soldiers under their command to seize Xiazhou City and surrender."
Manbao understood that this General Gong was the biggest local tyrant in Xiazhou. No wonder Brother Yang was able to suppress the officials from all levels in Xiazhou. It turned out that he had his support.
I don’t know how Brother Yang convinced General Gong.
See you at 9pm
