Upon hearing Su Ruojin's words, Xiao Yanchu moved his lips, but ultimately did not utter a single word.
He understood every point Su Ruojin made, but he still couldn't accept letting Xiao Jin take that risk.
"Good, as expected of my daughter, Xiao Jin, I support you and I will go with you!" Su Yunfeng said.
Madam Su reached out and slapped Su Yunfeng, then cried even harder, her body trembling. Xing Yue quickly came over and, together with Su Ruojin, supported her.
"Go away, all of you go! If you all leave, I won't live either."
Before, her daughter said she wanted to go, and now her husband wants to go too. Mrs. Su's heart aches even more.
Seeing his wife crying like this, Su Yunfeng panicked, but he didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so he could only look to Su Ruojin for help.
Su Ruojin took out a handkerchief and wiped away Madam Su's tears. "Mother, I'm not going right away. I'll be prepared. After I'm ready, you can decide whether or not to let me go, okay?"
Madam Su sensed the hidden meaning in Xiao Jin's words and, holding back her tears, asked, "What preparations?"
"Mother, just you wait and see."
At this moment, Su Wenzhou, seeing that his mother had stopped crying, dared to speak up: "Xiao Jin, I know Mo Han well, I'll go with you."
Madam Su wasn't going to tolerate Su Wenzhou. She slapped him hard across the chest. "What are you doing here? You want to go? How are you going to go? Do you want to disobey the imperial decree?"
Mrs. Su was extremely worried; no one in her family could give her any peace of mind.
Xiao Jin is going, her husband is going, and now the third brother is going too. If so many people go at once, she'll probably be worried to death.
"Xiao Jin, what method do you want to use? Could you tell us first, so we'll be at ease and your mother won't worry?" Su Yunfeng asked.
Su Ruojin had originally planned to do things first and then talk about them later, but seeing her mother like this now, she decided to speak up first.
"If it is the epidemic I suspect, there is only one solution: to implant another virus into people. Once implanted, this virus will exist forever. It will not harm the human body, but it can prevent the human body from being harmed by this kind of epidemic."
Everyone was a little confused. They didn't know what a virus was, but it was both a disease and a poison, which made them a little scared.
Su Ruojin explained, "Simply put, it means that if you take the antidote in advance, you can resist this disease."
"Then why don't you just make the antidote and have people distribute it?" Madam Su grasped the key point.
“Mother, I won’t go see her. I’m worried. Besides, if it’s not the kind of disease I’m thinking of, I can adjust the treatment method in time,” Su Ruojin explained.
"So you're going to use yourself as a test subject, to inoculate yourself with that virus?" Xiao Yanchu suddenly asked.
Su Ruojin: ......
Does Xiao Yanchu have to be so sensitive?
To be fair, Xiao Yanchu wasn't entirely wrong; if she didn't have antibodies, she would indeed have thought of doing that.
However, she already has antibodies against the smallpox virus, so she no longer needs to be vaccinated.
In Su Ruojin's previous life, smallpox had long been eradicated, and even newborn babies no longer needed to be vaccinated against it. She only knew from medical books that the ancients used cowpox vaccination to prevent smallpox.
After Su Ruojin met Ye Xunzhi in this life, she discussed various epidemics in the world with her master. She mentioned smallpox to Ye Xunzhi and methods to prevent smallpox.
Out of curiosity and a sense of fun, she inexplicably inoculated herself with cowpox, just to prove to Ye Xunzhi that it was feasible to transplant the cowpox virus from animals into humans, and that the person would not die.
Su Ruojin was eight years old that year.
At this moment, Su Ruojin was extremely grateful for what she had done when she was a child. Otherwise, as a pregnant woman, she would not be able to get vaccinated against smallpox. If she were to contract smallpox, she would be completely helpless.
