This was Yun Zhourong's first time doing hands-on practice. She was a little unsteady on her scalpel and her incisions were not clean enough, but she still managed to complete the task successfully in the end.
"Okay, next one."
Yun Zhourong glanced at Ji Minxiu, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him nod.
The village chief was the first to try it out. Looking at the small wound on his arm, he asked incredulously, "It's healed already?"
Yun Zhourong nodded, "Yes, don't get the wound wet after you go back. If the vaccination is successful in three days, red papules will appear. I will come to check on the situation in person then."
"That's so simple?"
"It doesn't seem dangerous."
"If it really can resist smallpox, I don't think it's unacceptable."
"Why don't we plant them too? Look, even the village chief has planted them."
"Yes, I heard that Little Stone has an incurable disease. If he really wanted to harm us, why would he bother to save him?"
"..."
Upon seeing this, the villagers all began to whisper among themselves, and it was clear that many of them were wavering.
After Yun Zhourong finished vaccinating the village chief's family, all the staff at the station, including Liu Pingkang, also came to get vaccinated.
Seeing this, the villagers began to get restless.
Yun Zhourong asked, "Is anyone else coming?"
The villagers looked at each other, and someone stepped forward to ask, "Yun Doctor, why don't you grow it yourself?"
Upon hearing this, the other villagers immediately chimed in, "Yes, did you grow them yourself?"
"Of course we planted them," Yun Zhourong said somewhat guiltily.
"We don't believe you unless you show us," the villagers persisted.
"What are you doing? Yun Yi Nu is an unmarried woman. How can you just look at her arm like that?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Pingkang immediately defended himself, saying, "I've already planted the seed, are your lives more precious than mine?"
The villagers fell silent, but no one stepped forward again, clearly showing their dissatisfaction.
"It's not convenient for everyone to see my daughter's arm, but I am her father, and she has already had the implant."
At this moment, Yun Hongcheng stepped forward, revealing the wound on his arm, and said, "Our whole family has been vaccinated. Are you all relieved now?"
This is the fake wound that Ji Minxiu found and made beforehand after giving Xiao Shitou his injection; he wasn't vaccinated with smallpox.
Yun Hongcheng felt immense admiration whenever he thought about it; the Snow Demon was indeed wise and had foresight.
Yun Zhourong was somewhat surprised, but when she saw Yun Hongcheng nodding and smiling at her, she immediately understood.
My heart is warmed. Having such family members who protect and support her is truly the greatest blessing.
“My father and family have all planted it, so there shouldn’t be any problem.”
"Yes, then... then let's plant them too."
"..."
Finally, the villagers agreed to get vaccinated.
Yun Zhou was overjoyed. It hadn't been easy to get this far. She quickly asked Ji Minxiu to come forward and help set up another vaccination site so that the villagers could line up in two rows.
"We need female healers."
"We are too."
"..."
To everyone's surprise, the villagers all lined up on Yun Zhourong's side, and no one was willing to let Ji Minxiu plant the seeds.
Seeing this, Yun Zhourong quickly said, "My cousin also knows medicine. Half of you can go over there, otherwise I won't be able to finish planting all by myself."
"It's alright, we can wait. We can plant again tomorrow." The villagers were still reluctant.
"All vaccinations must be completed today; there can be no delays, as the effectiveness of smallpox vaccination has a limited time frame."
Yun Zhourong's expression turned serious as she explained to everyone, "The shorter the time spent exposed to smallpox, the better the effect. If too much time is wasted, it can only help to neutralize some of the toxins and alleviate the symptoms. But once the time limit is exceeded, it will be useless. Can you guarantee that you will still be within the time limit tomorrow?"
"Well... okay..."
The villagers had nothing to say. Although they were reluctant, they still chose to go to Ji Minxiu's place.
Just as Yun Zhourong said, they couldn't guarantee that they would still be within the deadline tomorrow. Once smallpox broke out, it would be a matter of life and death, and they dared not gamble.
However, most of those who went to Ji Minxiu's place were adults; the children stayed with Yun Zhourong.
They trusted Yun Zhourong more, so they left the more secure opportunity to their child. This shows the heartfelt concern of parents everywhere.
"Move aside, move aside, let's plant first!"
Just as the villagers agreed to line up, the eldest son's family suddenly rushed out of the house and squeezed to the front, saying, "We are this little brat's uncle and aunt, we'll plant first."
Previously, they planned to wait until everyone else had finished planting and confirmed that everything was fine before they started planting, which would be more prudent.
Anyway, Yun Zhourong is one of our own, so we definitely won't abandon them.
However, upon hearing that it might be too late to get vaccinated against smallpox, they immediately lost their composure and rushed over to cut in line.
The villagers were initially reluctant to comply, since there was a time limit for smallpox vaccination, and every minute of delay meant an increased risk.
However, after hearing that the eldest son's family members were relatives of Yun Zhourong, they all fell silent.
After all, they're one of our own, so it's only right that they have some privileges.
However, Yun Zhourong unexpectedly did not indulge them, and said coldly, "Everything is based on first come, first served. Even relatives must line up, otherwise it would be chaos."
"The Cloud Healer is truly righteous!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers' previously depressed mood instantly lifted, and they gave Yun Zhourong a thumbs up.
"You brat, how dare you treat us like this! What if we have an attack..."
“If they fall ill, that will be your fate.” After saying this, Yun Zhourong said to Liu Pingkang, “Lord Postmaster, take them away.”
"Did you hear me? Get in line!"
