Liu Haojia then ordered that all those who were not sick should go to the river to pass through lime water. However, he appointed another person to supervise this matter. He led people to the epidemic ward again, ready to start collection work.
Liu Haojia led people into the first room. There were ten patients and two young people who volunteered to take care of the patients. Both young men, like Liu Haojia, put on protective clothing and covered their mouths and noses with fine cloth. These supplies were prepared by Liu Haojia in advance.
Seeing Liu Haojia enter the door, everyone's eyes looked at him, clearly with the light of hope! Liu Haojia also plays a big role in knowing whether the patient can recover. So he cleared his throat and said: "You should have heard that, yes, I am the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court! And it won't be long before the imperial court will send an imperial doctor to treat you! So as long as you hold on, the imperial doctor will be able to Cure you!"
The patients were so excited that they wanted to get up, and Liu Haojia hurriedly reassured everyone to lie down. Said: "Now we need to check the physical condition of each of you. Lie down and don't move!"
This room is full of critically ill patients. Some people have obviously symptoms of high fever, and rashes have appeared on the face, exposed arms and legs, and many of the rashes have begun to turn into pustules, which look very... fear!
In fact, Liu Haojia knew that these people were basically hopeless, but this was a good time to take samples. So at the signal of Liu Haojia, a servant stepped forward and started operating.
Although this servant had practiced beforehand, he was still cautious, fearing that any mistakes would affect him. He held a special small porcelain bottle in his left hand and a rapidly sharpened bamboo knife in his right hand, and began to clean the acne scabs on the patient's body.
As the bamboo knife scraped the acne scab, a large amount of powder fell into the bottle. But after cleaning the first acne scab, the servant was already covered in sweat. He actually stood up and motioned for another servant to take his place. He couldn't hold on any longer!
Another family also wrapped their hands with fine cloth before using the bottle and the surgeon to continue cleaning the acne scabs. In this way, several servants took turns and quickly adapted to this kind of work, and the speed gradually became faster.
After cleaning the condensed acne scabs, the servants began to work on the damaged acne buds on the patient's body. Undamaged acne buds will also be gently pricked, and the pus will be squeezed out with a bamboo knife, then scraped away and put into another porcelain bottle.
This kind of work is very troublesome, and it took almost half an hour just to clean up the first patient. By the time the entire ward was cleared, these five servants could hardly stand! Under the tremendous mental pressure, the physical exertion of the servants was huge!
After cleaning the room, Liu Haojia breathed a sigh of relief and began to visit each room and give speeches to encourage patients to persevere! Just at this time, the person who cooked the medicine had delivered the first batch of medicinal soup and began to let each patient drink it.
Liu Haojia asked the imperial doctor to prescribe this medicine before leaving Beijing. No one knows whether it can cure the disease! Especially Liu Haojia knew that these medicines would not help at all, they were just a psychological comfort. But he still encouraged the patients to drink it, and vigorously promoted that this prescription was prescribed by the imperial physician who treated the emperor!
Liu Haojia walked around the epidemic ward and got enough pathogens before leading people to evacuate the village. When he returned to the camp, the soldiers who stayed in the camp had fixed four wooden stakes on the ground and were leading a cow to the four wooden stakes. Then he tied the four legs of the cow to the wooden stakes with ropes.
After he finished tying and stood up, he happened to see Liu Haojia and the others walking into the camp. The servant immediately said loudly: "Second Young Master, the cattle have been tied up and you can start at any time!"
Liu Haojia tightened the fine cloth on his face and said, "In this case, hurry up and take action!"
At this time, everyone else gathered, and even the servants who were too tired to stand up gathered around them. Because they all know that Liu Haojia's plan has reached a critical moment, they naturally want to watch the matter progress step by step until it succeeds!
At this time, the tied cow already felt that something was wrong and began to try to struggle. But its four legs were tied to wooden stakes and it couldn't move at all. It could only whine helplessly!
Liu Haojia took the sharp knife and stood next to the cow from the side. He touched the back of the cow's neck and said: "Cow, cow, today you cooperate with me to do an experiment. If it succeeds, you can save the world! You will have merit by then. There is no way I can be reincarnated as a human being and enjoy wealth and honor in my next life!"
Liu Haojia's words triggered a burst of laughter from everyone! Zhang Peilan, in particular, patted her thigh and said, "I didn't expect my second brother to have the ability to be a butcher! I think butchers always say a few words before killing, and I don't know if my second brother learned this from a butcher!"
However, the laughter diluted the solemn atmosphere of the scene. At this time, everyone laughed heartily for the first time after entering the epidemic area!
Liu Haojia turned to the servant in charge of recording and said, "Okay, don't laugh. Now record it and remember it. You must remember every move I make!"
After speaking, Liu Haojia squatted down and started shaving the cow's left front leg. After scraping out an area about the size of a copper coin, he turned the sharp knife and cut there hard! Just listen to the old cow's neighing, and he has already cut a gash on his front leg! Fortunately, the wound was not deep and there was not much blood.
Liu Haojia waved to the servant holding the porcelain bottle next to him, then he opened the porcelain bottle, used a bamboo knife to pick out some acne scab powder and pressed it into the wound, and then pressed the wound with his hand to prevent the powder from leaking out. The servant who was cooperating with him immediately wrapped the wound with a piece of cloth. The entire operation is complete!
Liu Haojia stood up and said, "Okay, take this cow back to the tent and bring another one! Let's use pus on the next cow to see which one is more effective?"
Soon the second cow was brought over, and Liu Haojia followed the same method and inoculated the second cow with a pox. Then he threw the sharp knife in his hand into the boiling pot next to it, and took off his protective clothing and fine cloth to wash. So far, today’s work is completed!
In the next few days, every minute was a torture for Liu Haojia! Although he knew there were successful examples in modern times, he didn't know if he could succeed if he copied them? Although he studied medicine, he has enough understanding of this kind of work. But there are too many variables in this kind of thing, and any slight change in conditions will lead to a failure!
