But he can't show it yet, because the people around him are under enough pressure now! If he shows any embarrassment again, the people below will collapse!
Therefore, in addition to encouraging people around him every day, Liu Haojia also has to go back and forth to Qinghe Village to check various epidemic prevention work, supervise the patients to take medicine, and encourage them to bravely fight against smallpox! This series of things made him a little exhausted mentally and physically!
This morning, Liu Haojia had just finished washing and was going out of the tent to eat when he heard someone shouting ecstatically outside: "It's acne! It's acne!"
Liu Haojia immediately recognized that the person calling was the servant responsible for taking care of the two cows, which meant that the two cows really had pox!
Liu Haojia didn't care about anything else and hurried out. At this time, other tents were opened one after another, and everyone rushed out. They looked at the servant who ran over and danced loudly and said: "Second Young Master, those two cows have pox!"
Liu Haojia was overjoyed when he heard this. He laughed and said, "Okay! What good news! Let's go and have a look!"
After speaking, he led everyone towards the back of the camp. Go to the back of the camp and there are five tents pitched side by side about thirty steps away. But these five tents are not for people, but for cattle! There are two cows in one tent, and they are taken care of more carefully than humans!
When they walked to the tent, the two cows had been led out and tied to the stakes. They were slowly eating the grass in front of them. They looked not very energetic. The servant who was responsible for feeding the cows peeled off the hair on the cows and said, "Second Young Master, look!"
Liu Haojia looked down and saw that there was indeed a round herpes on the exposed cow skin, which looked immature. Then he searched for different locations on the cow, and sure enough, he found a lot of acne buds!
Seeing this result, Liu Haojia knew that his experiment had a high probability of success! But the most important step is still missing, which is human experimentation!
Liu Haojia calmed down and said loudly: "Okay, don't be stunned, quickly put on protective clothing and collect the pathogens! Remember, be sure to mark the bottles. Don't use the same pathogens recovered from humans as those recovered from cows." Confused!"
Everyone agreed and immediately got busy. Soon, the new pus was collected and stored in a porcelain bottle of different colors. At this time, everyone started to be stunned around the porcelain bottle! Because according to Liu Haojia, the next step is to inoculate people with pox, but who comes first? No one wants to take such a risk!
Even though Liu Haojia said so definitely, everyone could still see a trace of unnaturalness on his face! This shows that he himself is not absolutely sure. This makes everyone even more worried!
After everyone gathered around the porcelain bottle for a long time, Liu Haojia finally spoke and said: "Prepare a separate tent, I want to vaccinate myself!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this! No one expected Liu Haojia to make this decision! You know, he is the backbone of everyone. If there is something wrong with him, the consequences will be disastrous!
At this time, Zhang Peilan said loudly: "Second brother, don't worry, why don't we spend a lot of money to hire villagers to give it a try! Don't they say that there must be a brave man under a big reward?"
Everyone agreed with this idea, and some impatient servants had already hung knives on their bodies, ready to arrest a few people if they couldn't reach an agreement!
Liu Haojia stopped everyone's restlessness, and then said: "Throughout the ages, people have been cautious about dying due to smallpox, and countless doctors have struggled with it! But with the promotion of all knowledgeable people, we have used variola to prevent and treat smallpox, and now we are We need to push forward one step further and see if cowpox is more effective than human pox! Now that success is here, we should move forward bravely! I am willing to be the first person to try cowpox!"
After saying that, Liu Haojia picked up the dagger and stabbed a small hole in his arm! Upon seeing this, Zhang Peilan shouted: "We have already put life and death aside when we came here. Today we will live together and die together!"
After saying that, he also pulled out the dagger and stabbed a hole in his arm! Several other people were moved by Liu Haojia's behavior, and they drew their knives and stabbed themselves in the arms. Everyone had a cut on their arm!
Liu Haojia shouted loudly: "You are all good men! If we succeed today, we will share the wealth, and it will be a good thing if we go to hell together!"
After saying that, he picked up some pus and applied it to the wounds, and then he personally applied pus to everyone's wounds. Then he picked up the fine cloth and bandaged everyone, and at the same time said: "We have done everything we can, and now it depends on God's arrangement! In a while, we will scrape all the acne buds on these two cows, and then kill them for meat!"
Wang Xinyi said with a smile: "Okay, have a good time today!"
Then everyone started working together, knocking over the two cows that had just made a meritorious service and slaughtering them. After the two cows were slaughtered, Liu Haojia asked his servants to get some beef and give it to each villager, and then started to cook the meat and beef bones that he had reserved for himself in a large pot.
In fact, Liu Haojia invested a lot of money in the villagers. The medicinal materials were one thing, but more importantly, he asked the five servants who stayed outside to buy a lot of meat and bones every day. The cooked meat was eaten directly by the wounded, while the bones were boiled into soup for the patients to drink.
Others may not know it, but Liu Haojia knows best that patients need nutrition. At this time, what can be a better nutrition than broth! Now that we have beef and beef bones, we naturally have to make more soups for patients!
In the following days, Liu Haojia boiled medicine and soup as usual, took care of the patients, and encouraged everyone to persevere! Maybe it's because of the three meals of broth every day, or maybe it's because the patients have hope in their hearts that they want to live. So far, not a single patient in the ward has died! Even the most serious case of the village chief, the acne buds on his body have begun to scab, and his body temperature has begun to drop, and he seems to be getting better!
Seeing this situation, the villagers and patients said that he brought blessings! In fact, Liu Haojia knew what was going on! In this situation where no one has died so far, the most likely possibility is that the virus has weakened after being infected many times! In addition, sufficient nutrition and encouragement aroused the desire of these survivors, which allowed them to survive.
Just when the village chief's condition improved, Liu Haojia felt chills all over his body! He knew he might have a fever! He immediately called everyone back to camp to inquire about their situation. It turned out that half of the people had already started to have a fever!
Liu Haojia saw that these people with fever looked pale and were covered in cold sweat. I am afraid most of them were frightened! Even people who don’t have a fever have straight eyes and weak hearts!
