"Mother!" The little girl saw the woman's brows furrow and knew she was still breathing, so she rushed over.
Lu Tu then stood up and looked at the men who had stood up earlier: "What do you want?"
"Yes!" The men licked their lips greedily.
Lu Tu glanced at them disdainfully: "You'd better hold back if you want to. No one dares to force themselves on me! If you're really capable, go to the northern frontier and snatch a Wuhuan wife. Then I, Lu Tu, will consider you a man. But if anyone dares to rape another woman in the future, I will kill them without mercy!"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over those with improper thoughts, instantly sobering them up. They obediently sat back down and waited for Lü Tu to rescue them.
Lu Tu then took out strong liquor to disinfect the needle he had just used, and then took another clean syringe, filled it with cowpox vaccine, and beckoned to Zhang Miao: "Come on, let me give you an injection."
Zhang Miao opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but after seeing Lü Tu's confident expression, he closed his mouth again, nodded calmly, and let Lü Tu inject him with a needle.
After the injection, he asked in a low voice, "Sir, after this injection, will I be immune to smallpox?"
Lu Tu shook his head and told him the truth directly: "I told you before that this is a method of fighting poison with poison. Even if you are injected with this medicine, it depends on your physical condition. However, it can effectively prevent infection."
Zhang Miao's confidence soared: "I understand. Can you leave the rest to me? I've already reviewed the process."
Lu Tu raised an eyebrow: "You really saw it clearly?"
Zhang Miao nodded: "My lord, please watch from the side. If I do anything wrong, please point it out."
"good!"
Next, under Lü Tu's guidance, Zhang Miao began to prescribe medicine according to the symptoms. He used penicillin for those who were seriously ill and cowpox for those whose condition was not serious.
Of course, Zhang Miao had also witnessed what had just happened, and he tried his best to treat the honest and simple-minded people first.
Especially those able-bodied men who have never caused any trouble from beginning to end, they may be the backbone of the village in the future, and they need to be given special attention.
After several pointers from Lü Tu, Zhang Miao was able to administer vaccines skillfully. Moreover, his two apprentices were also quite talented, and having worked with Zhang Miao for many years, the master and apprentices worked together with perfect understanding, which made Lü Tu nod in approval.
Lu Tu wasn't idle either. He took another syringe and began injecting cowpox into those whose infection wasn't severe. It took the two of them two whole hours to finish injecting hundreds of people.
After doing all this, Lü Tu was almost exhausted, even more so than when he fought the Wuhuan people.
After all, this was no joke; each injection required complete concentration. At this moment, Lü Tu, Zhang Miao, and the others arrived at a corner of the village and had someone bring them wood ash and well water to begin bathing.
We're all men, especially men living in a place like Wuchuan, so naturally there aren't many taboos.
After taking a bath, Lü Tu stopped Zhang Miao and told him about the agreement he had made with Zhao Qingyao that day.
Zhang Miao nodded after hearing this: "Today I will stay at the shack to check on the condition of the refugees. The dozen or so refugees we injected earlier have shown signs of improvement. I plan to move them to another shack to prevent them from continuing to be infected with the plague."
Lu Tu nodded: "Okay, you're an expert in this area, so we'll follow your method. Also, Doctor Zhang, you should train as many apprentices as possible to help us during this time. After all, we're going to help the people of the entire Wuchuan City, and even the people of Huai Shuo next door."
A resolute glint flashed in Zhang Miao's eyes as he bowed to Lü Tu and said, "Your Excellency cares deeply for the people and brings blessings to this region. This is truly a great deed. After this plague is eradicated, I am willing to build a temple for you!"
Lu Tu waved his hand and said, "Let's skip the formalities. You should rest early today. Let the others stay and keep watch. Remember, Doctor Zhang, the more urgent the situation, the less we can afford to panic. Health is the most important thing."
"What you say makes sense, sir. I've learned a lot!"
After Zhang Miao left, Lü Tu suddenly saw a furtive figure running towards the warehouse and called out, "Liu Yang, come here!"
"Hey! Big brother." Liu Yang was carrying a basket with a faint aroma of food wafting from it, so he was probably going to deliver some food to Ban Yingying.
"Is this for Yingying?"
"Big brother, don't be angry. Have you eaten? Want some?"
Lu Tu laughed and scolded, "What's there to be angry about? Why would I fight with a little girl for food? Hurry up and run over there and get me some beef and mutton fat."
"Oh? Big brother, you're still craving it. If you're really hungry, just eat first. I'll bring it to Yingying later. Your health is the most important thing."
Lu Tu kicked Liu Yang in the butt, startling him so much that he let out a howl.
"Hurry up and deliver the food, and after you're done, bring me dozens of kilograms of beef and mutton fat to my house."
"clear!"
No one raises pigs in Wuchuan, so they can only use beef and mutton fat to make soap. Otherwise, with the weather getting hotter and hotter, they can't keep using wood ash, can they?
Moreover, if this hygiene problem is not handled properly, the headaches will increase day by day, and it will become even more troublesome.
When Lü Tu returned to the courtyard, he didn't go inside immediately. Jiang Wanyu obediently handed Lü Tu a cup of tea: "Husband, are you thirsty?"
"Thank you, my wife, but you should stay away from me for now."
"Why, my dear husband? Your hair is still wet. Didn't you already take a bath?"
Lu Tu shook his head: "I only washed it with wood ash. Sometimes there is still danger. It's best not to get close."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanyu pouted, "Does that mean I won't be able to sleep with my husband tonight?"
As soon as she said it, she realized she had made a mistake and quickly shut her mouth. At this moment, Song Yuxi came out with the help of Lingdang: "Since my husband says so, he must have his reasons."
Lu Tu chuckled: "Yu Xi understands me best."
As he spoke, Lü Tu picked up a hoe and dug a simple field stoker in the yard. Then he had someone bring two large iron pots from the warehouse, which were used to stew mutton.
The maid, Lingdang, with her lively personality, squatted down next to Lu Tu and asked, "Sir, are you going to stew mutton again?" She wiped her mouth as she spoke.
Lu Tu chuckled: "Yes, but I won't let you eat any!"
Lingdang wasn't annoyed at all. She knew that Lü Tu wasn't that kind of person, so she very perceptively went to fetch firewood and coal to help Lü Tu start the fire.
Lu Tu first filled the unused iron pot with water, then added a large amount of wood ash. After stirring it thoroughly and letting it settle, he obtained alkaline water containing potassium carbonate.
Once they bring the beef and mutton fat, they can render the animal fat, add lye water, mix it, and cool it to make soap. Then he won't have to worry about carrying the virus anymore, which would prevent him from exercising with his four beautiful wives!
