Miss Jun leaned over to look at the cow's belly, and there seemed to be another person beside her.
"Look, this is it."
The man pointed the file at the acne, then pierced it with a sharp thrust and took a reed stem.
Pus slowly flowed in.
"How about this?" she asked puzzled.
The man turned around and shook the reed in his hand.
"This can keep people from getting acne for the rest of their lives, and it should be safer than smallpox," he said.
"Is it true?" she asked doubtfully, pinching her nose.
It stinks in the cowshed.
The man raised an eyebrow at her and handed the reed pole to her.
"Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you try it," he said.
She quickly stepped back, glaring in embarrassment.
"Why don't you try?"
The man clicked his tongue and threw his hands up.
"I just want to be a miracle doctor, but I don't want to be chased and beaten by others," he said.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a shout outside.
"What are you two doing?"
At the same time, three or four farmers came over.
The man stood up with a smile.
"Nothing, nothing, just stopping to rest while passing by a treasure land," he said.
A treasured place to rest?
"Come to my cowshed to rest?" The farmers looked stunned.
Suddenly a man pointed at the cow.
"Brother, look, the cow's stomach is bleeding." he shouted.
The man waved his hands.
"It's not blood, it's not blood." He said, "Listen to me, this is..."
After hearing his explanation, the farmers suppressed their temper for the time being, but then they saw the man reach out and grab the girl who was pinching her nose, and then he flipped over the cowshed and ran away like the wind.
Ran away…
"There's a cattle thief!"
"Someone come quickly!"
"Catch him!"
Behind me, there were noisy shouts and the sound of gongs and drums, which stirred up the entire mountain village.
…
There was a sound of chaotic footsteps coming from behind.
"Miss Jun."
Miss Jun turned around and saw Doctor Feng and others.
The doctors were all looking at the yard full of cows with surprised expressions.
They heard that Deshengchang had sent a dozen cows, and Miss Jun even asked Liu'er to tell them to wait and see what was coming. This was really puzzling. Could it be that there was something about these cows that could be used as medicine?
"Miss Jun, today's medical records have been sorted out." Doctor Feng said.
However, Miss Jun did not immediately go with them to look at the medical records as she did in the past.
"You guys take a look at the medical records first," she said, then turned back to look at the cows.
Doctor Feng and others looked at each other, exchanged glances, and had to leave.
Miss Jun did not show up until the next morning.
“Been watching the cows?”
“What’s so good about cows?”
The doctors murmured, but it was obvious that the cow looked very good to Miss Jun, and she did not come to the patient to inquire about medication that day.
"Where is Miss Jun? Does Miss Jun no longer care about us?" The patient's family members, who were becoming increasingly anxious, kept asking.
The doctors tried to comfort them one by one, but resentment gradually grew in their hearts.
Shouldn't she appear in front of everyone more often at this time?
Is it because he knows there is no hope that he just ignores it?
Could it be that one day they couldn't see her anymore and she would abandon them and run away? Some doctors even had this suspicion.
Fortunately, Miss Jun did not disappear for another day. At night, the doctors were invited to the Buddhist temple. Before they entered the temple, they saw Miss Jun standing inside.
The hall was brightly lit. Against the backdrop of the night outside, the Buddha statue shone brightly, as if it were a spirit. Miss Jun, who was standing in front of the statue, looked even thinner.
Hearing everyone coming in, she turned away from the Buddha statue.
"Everyone is here," she said.
The doctors nodded and were about to put down the medical records in their hands. But when they took a step forward, they saw that the tables where the medical records were placed were filled with thin copper tubes, densely packed together, there were more than a hundred of them.
What is this?
Doubts flashed through everyone's minds, and Miss Jun's voice was heard.
"Today I will tell you what we are here to do."
What are we here for? To treat acne? What else can I say?
The doctors looked at Miss Jun with puzzled expressions.
Miss Jun looked at them and smiled.
“What we’re really here to do isn’t to treat acne,” she said.
There was silence in the temple for a while, and then there was noise.
After spending ten days here trying to figure this out, you tell me treating acne is not the right thing to do?
What is that?
Want to play?
The doctors had complicated expressions and could hardly hide their anger.
They trusted her to do this, knowing that doctors would not treat smallpox. They faced the miserable conditions of the children, watched them die in agony, endured the pleading and disappointment of the patients' parents, and faced an outcome in which they did not know whether they would live or die. Wasn't it the desire to do good that supported them?
She had no cure for the acne, but they didn't complain because they knew it was difficult to cure.
But you were the one who said we should work together, and now you are the one who says we don't want to do it.
What do you mean?
"I've said that acne is not a disease that can be cured by medication or treatment. Once you get the disease, 70% of it depends on fate," said Miss Jun.
She did say that, and they acknowledged it.
The doctors looked at her.
Miss Jun put her hand on the corner of the table and walked slowly a few steps.
"So the key to acne is not treatment, but prevention," she said.
Defend?
The doctors frowned.
"How can the disease be prevented?" a doctor said, "The smallpox virus is invisible and colorless."
"The smallpox virus is invisible and colorless, but it can be cured with poison." Miss Jun said, "I don't know if you have noticed this, I looked through the medical records and medical books and miscellaneous notes..."
As she spoke, she pointed to the bookshelves piled up in the hall. In addition to asking the Imperial Hospital for medicine, she also asked for a lot of books.
The collection of books in the Imperial Hospital was not accessible to every doctor. Miss Jun placed these medical books in the palace for the doctors to browse at will, and she also often browsed through them herself.
However, everyone thought that he was looking through these medical books in order to find a cure for acne, and was even mocked by the people in the Imperial Hospital for this.
"A journal writer once recorded an incident in which smallpox was prevalent in Lingnan, killing eight to nine out of ten people," she continued.
The doctors present nodded.
Everyone knows that the smallpox virus in Lingnan spread very quickly, causing countless deaths. In the end, the garrison troops were forced to kill those infected with the disease. It was extremely tragic.
"One thing I discovered is that in many villages, everyone in the village was infected, but there were also some people who survived. These people were those who had smallpox when they were children and survived," said Miss Jun. "These people were still safe and sound in the midst of the rapid smallpox virus that infected almost the entire village."
The doctors were stunned. What's going on? They hadn't noticed it, but what did it mean?
"This shows that people who have had smallpox will not be attacked by smallpox again," said Miss Jun. "This shows that smallpox can fight poison with poison."
The doctors were talking about it.
"Even if you are right," said Doctor Feng to stop everyone's discussion, "so what? Should we find someone who has had smallpox to take care of the sick?"
Miss Jun smiled.
"No, it's about letting everyone get acne once, so that they will never be infected by acne again," she said.
The doctors were stunned when these words were spoken, and then they were shocked again.
