"Oh, actually my cousin isn't mute. She just has a bad voice and has difficulty speaking. She doesn't want to keep explaining, so she simply calls herself mute," Yun Zhourong explained calmly.
This was a plan the two had discussed beforehand, just in case, but they never expected it would actually come in handy.
Therefore, when Ji Minxiu spoke just now, he deliberately spoke in short and hoarse voice.
"So that's how it is. Then it's no different from being mute," Liu Pingkang said bluntly.
Yun Zhourong: "..."
Now I finally understand why Liu Pingkang, with a county magistrate as his brother-in-law, is still doing so poorly.
A perfectly normal person, but they just happen to have a mouth.
"But your cousin is really tall."
As Liu Pingkang stood over, he discovered that Ji Minxiu was actually half a head taller than him, and he immediately began to question his own existence.
"Oh, because my uncle raised my cousin as a boy since she was little."
After Yun Zhourong finished speaking, she pulled Ji Minxiu away, saying, "You've worked hard, Master of the Post Station. Let's go have a meal first, and then we'll go see the patient."
"Alright then, Doctor Yun, you should rest early too." Seeing this, Liu Pingkang could only wave goodbye with some reluctance.
Ji Minxiu saw his performance and couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling a sudden sense of irritation rising in his heart.
But he quickly suppressed the issue because he also needed to vaccinate all the women in the second wife's family.
"Your Excellency Snow Demon, what is the difference between this vaccine and cowpox?" Yun Hongcheng asked in confusion.
“The vaccine provides lifelong immunity against smallpox toxin, while cowpox only provides immunity for two or three years, after which revaccination is necessary. Moreover, the vaccine is more stable and safer,” Ji Minxiu said.
"I see."
Everyone nodded in understanding, their hearts leaping with joy; everyone loves the feeling of being favored.
"By the way, do any of you have eczema or other skin conditions? These could be life-threatening, so it's best not to hide them," Ji Minxiu asked while taking out the vaccines.
"No." The members of the second branch of the family all shook their heads.
"That's good. The remaining issue is Madam Yun's heart condition. She's not suitable for vaccination, so she can only receive smallpox immunoglobulin. After that, it's best for her to be isolated and avoid excessive contact with outsiders," Ji Minxiu said.
"Immunoglobulin?" The group exchanged bewildered glances.
"Vaccines work on the same principle as smallpox vaccination: they make you sick, but the toxicity is reduced to a minimum, thus giving you the ability to resist the invasion of toxins."
Ji Minxiu explained, "Injecting immunoglobulin directly provides the ability to fight this antitoxin, which is relatively safe, but the effect is short-lived, usually lasting only about a month."
"I see!"
At this moment, Yun Mingyuan suddenly realized and said, "Vaccines and cowpox increase the body's resistance to toxins, while this immunoglobulin is more like an antidote. Although it can detoxify, it cannot make the body have resistance to toxins."
"Hmm, not bad, a very good summary." Ji Minxiu nodded approvingly.
He discovered that the family members were all very intelligent, especially Yun Zhourong and Yun Mingyuan, who were the type to grasp things quickly.
"I see. Then, Lord Snow Demon, my son Xiaoyuan has tuberculosis. Can he get vaccinated?" Zhao asked anxiously.
"Pulmonary tuberculosis...he has pulmonary tuberculosis?"
Ji Minxiu immediately frowned and looked at Yun Zhourong, saying, "What's the situation? If it's during the acute phase of the illness, vaccination is not recommended."
"He was coughing before, but since he started dressing warmly, eating well, and resting well, he hasn't had a relapse."
After Yun Zhourong finished speaking, she quickly took Yun Mingyuan's pulse, then shook her head with a heavy expression, "The situation of tuberculosis is still not optimistic. It seems that he cannot be vaccinated."
"Okay, let's give him the immunoglobulin injection first, and then Xiao Yuan and Madam Yun will be isolated separately."
After Ji Minxiu finished speaking, he reassured Yun Zhourong, "Don't worry, tuberculosis is not a big problem and it's easy to treat. I'll have someone send the medicine over in a bit."
"What?! Lady Snow Fairy, are you telling the truth?"
This incredible good news stunned almost everyone in the second wife's family.
Since ancient times, tuberculosis has been an incurable disease; the only difference is whether one dies sooner or later.
But now, Ji Minxiu actually says he can cure it, how can they not be shocked?
Meeting the expectant eyes of the crowd, Ji Minxiu nodded firmly, "It can be cured. As long as you take the medicine, you will get better. It's just that the treatment course is relatively long, ranging from six months to a year."
“It’s not long, it’s not long. Our Xiaoyuan has been suffering from tuberculosis for half a year, and it keeps recurring and he just can’t get better. As long as it can be cured, we can accept any amount of time.” Zhao hugged Yun Mingyuan and cried tears of joy, nodding repeatedly.
"That's fine, let's get vaccinated first."
After Ji Minxiu finished speaking, he began to administer vaccines to the members of the second wife's family one by one.
Unlike conventional vaccination methods, this vaccination uses needles instead of traditional syringes.
The deltoid muscle or the skin above the upper back of the arm is the most common vaccination site.
The needle is inserted into the skin repeatedly, perpendicular to the skin, and quickly pressed in.
Three doses are used for the initial vaccination, and 15 doses are used for revaccination.
The healthy individuals were vaccinated first, followed by the administration of immunoglobulin to Yun Mingyuan and Grandma Yun.
"Yun, where should we dump the excrement?"
As soon as the task was completed, Big Cow's mother came over and asked in a low voice.
Yun Zhourong subconsciously looked at Ji Minxiu.
"These things cannot be disposed of indiscriminately, as they can be infectious and must be disinfected."
Ji Minxiu thought for a moment and said, "Immediately have someone find an open space and dig a deep pit. All the excrement should be poured into it so that it can be disinfected in a unified manner later."
"Okay, I understand." Yun Zhourong nodded and said to Da Niu Niang, "Leave these for now and use the other chamber pots."
"good."
Big Cow Girl glanced at Ji Minxiu curiously before leaving.
Ji Minxiu continued, "I almost forgot, the vomit and excrement of smallpox patients must be strictly disinfected and cannot be disposed of indiscriminately. We must also inform the villagers."
"Okay, I've got it. I'll have it made right away." Yun Zhourong nodded solemnly.
Ji Minxiu glanced at his watch before saying, "It's getting late. I'll go back and have someone prepare things. Call me again at 12 o'clock."
"good."
Yun Zhourong then realized that she had used up all three of her chances for the day.
As soon as Ji Minxiu returned to his room, his phone started buzzing with messages.
Some were from the Ji family, and some were from Assistant Lin.
He went to the top floor to get his dinner first, and then started looking around while eating.
After learning of his illness, the Ji family sent him a token text message of condolence.
Besides cursing Ji Weixing, they not only cursed him for getting sick as retribution, but also scolded him for not being able to control his own dog.
Ji Minxiu frowned slightly. Was this because, without his knowledge, Assistant Lin had clashed with Ji Weixing?
Scrolling down further, there was actually one from Old Master Ji, asking about his relationship with Xia Shiyan.
