“This isn’t your fault. Smallpox is highly contagious. No one in the entire post station took any isolation measures for that patient before. Now, they’re probably all infected. Even if you don’t go out, you won’t escape,” Ji Minxiu comforted him.
"Yes, Ruanruan, it's not your fault. Mother was just... just too worried about Xiaoyuan. I didn't mean to blame you..."
At this moment, Zhao had calmed down a bit. After speaking, she suddenly knelt down in front of Ji Minxiu and said, "Lord Snow Demon, you have a way to cure smallpox, don't you? Please, please save us!"
"Yes, Lady Snow Demon, please, please save us!"
The other members of the second branch of the family also realized what was happening at this moment, and they all knelt down and kowtowed to Ji Minxiu.
"Lord Snow Demon, do you...do you have a solution?" Yun Zhourong asked nervously.
The people in the second wife's family all thought he was an omnipotent demon, but only she knew that he was just an ordinary person!
Not only were her family members' lives at stake, but she was also worried about Ji Minxiu and didn't want anything to happen to him.
"You can all get up. This illness is also a bit troublesome for me."
Ji Minxiu quickly regained his composure and, after getting them all up, said, "My method can only guarantee the survival of those who haven't yet developed symptoms. As for those who have already developed symptoms, I can provide medicine to help treat them, but whether they can pull through is up to fate."
Even in China, there is no effective treatment for smallpox; prevention is the only option.
"Yes, that's enough!" Upon hearing this, the second branch of the family was overjoyed.
Zhao hugged Yun Mingyuan and wept with joy, "It's alright, our little Yuan will be alright."
While Zhao was thinking only of her son, Yun Hongcheng thought of the villagers and couldn't help but shed tears.
You should know that in the past, when smallpox ravaged the country, it would kill half the village.
According to Ji Minxiu, this means that those who are infected but have not yet developed symptoms can also survive, which would save most people!
"Now, Miss Yun and I will go and check on the smallpox patient to confirm if it is smallpox."
After Ji Minxiu finished speaking, he looked at Yun Zhourong and asked, "Do you trust me? Do you dare to come with me?"
Yun Zhourong stared at Ji Minxiu for a moment, then nodded. "I believe you! Besides, my ambition is to become a female healer, so I can't run away at this time!"
"Not bad, you have guts."
Ji Minxiu smiled with pleasure, then said to the other members of the second branch of the family, "Pack her things, she probably won't be able to come out later."
"Soft and soft..."
Zhao quickly pulled her back, her face showing a look of wanting to say something but holding back.
"Alright, child, you're doing a good deed, and with Lady Snow Demon here, what are you afraid of!?"
Yun Hongcheng patted Zhao Shi on the shoulder and said to Yun Zhourong, "Ruan Ruan, well done, your father is proud of you!"
"Thank you, Father! Mother, don't worry, I promise I will come back safe and sound." After saying that, Yun Zhourong walked out with Ji Minxiu.
"I'll go back first. Call me when you get there," Ji Minxiu said after closing the door.
"good."
Yun Zhourong understood what he meant; he indeed couldn't show his face, otherwise it would be hard to explain why he had suddenly disappeared.
As soon as Ji Minxiu returned to his study, he immediately locked the door from the inside.
Then he called Assistant Lin, "Assistant Lin, please go and buy me ten doses of smallpox vaccine and a cow that has been infected with smallpox immediately. I need it by tomorrow. I don't care about the price. Also, hire a doctor who can vaccinate smallpox at a high price."
"yes!"
Normally, Assistant Lin would definitely have made a few sarcastic remarks, saying that Ji Minxiu had nothing better to do than mess with something that was already extinct.
However, he knew Ji Minxiu very well. At this moment, Ji Minxiu's tone was very serious, and there was no hint of joking in it.
Although he didn't know why Ji Minxiu suddenly wanted the smallpox vaccine, he took it very seriously and immediately started contacting people to find out.
With the eradication of smallpox, smallpox vaccines have been discontinued in almost all countries, but there are certainly stockpiles of vaccines, just not in large quantities.
However, Ji Minxiu only needs 10 sticks, so that's not a big problem.
The problem is that finding a way to buy the vaccine is still quite difficult.
After giving instructions to Assistant Lin, Ji Minxiu immediately ordered all the servants in the villa to leave and take a month's paid leave.
Although it was somewhat sudden, the Ji family offered very high salaries, and who wouldn't be happy to get paid without having to do anything? They all left immediately.
Some of the servants even tried to greet Ji Minxiu, but he sternly refused them all.
After that, no servants dared to approach.
After doing all that, Ji Minxiu was summoned again.
There were three people lying on the communal bed, all with their eyes closed, groaning in pain.
Yun Zhourong stood pale-faced in front of a patient, tears welling in her eyes, her face showing both fear and pity.
Ji Minxiu walked over, and Yun Zhourong instinctively grabbed his wrist, "Lord Snow Demon, he's so pitiful..."
"You're a doctor, you can sympathize with patients, but you must remain calm, otherwise how can you save them?"
Ji Minxiu patted Yun Zhourong's head, then went over and took out his phone to carefully take pictures of the patient.
Only in this way can doctors make better judgments.
Looking at the patient's condition, he also frowned.
The person's body was covered with dense, hemispherical bumps, about the size of soybeans, some of which had developed pustules, making it a truly shocking sight.
"Can you manage on your own?" Ji Minxiu asked with some concern.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhourong hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded solemnly, "I can do it, I am a healer!"
"Okay, I'll go take care of things first. If you're scared tonight, just call me."
Ji Minxiu's eyes showed approval. "If there's any emergency, you can call me anytime."
"Okay." Yun Zhourong wiped away her tears and nodded heavily.
With Ji Minxiu's words, she felt inexplicably at peace.
After Ji Minxiu left, Yun Zhourong immediately began writing down the prescription.
He remembered that his grandfather's medical books mentioned that during the prodromal stage of smallpox, fever could be treated with a modified version of Sangju Decoction.
In the early stages of the rash, a modified Shengma Gengen Decoction can be used for treatment.
When the condition progresses to the abscess stage, it can be treated with a modified Sha Shen Mai Dong Tang (沙参麦冬汤).
Of course, these remedies can only alleviate the symptoms, not cure the disease.
She knew Ji Minxiu had a solution, but she didn't know exactly when he would be able to provide it. She couldn't rely on him all the time; she had to do her best to treat him first.
“Miss Yun is very righteous. Please rest assured, I will deliver the medicine as soon as possible.”
Picking up the prescription that had been thrown at her, the constable clasped his hands in a fist salute to her from a distance.
If it were any other day, seeing a doctor so young, a young girl, he would probably scoff at her.
But at this critical moment of life and death, Yun Zhourong dared to stand up, and that courage deserves his admiration!
