The old lady looked at Pei Yubing who was busy on the side and then looked at the villagers. This method was not effective and had to find another way. She called Pei Yubing to her side and started to implement the second method of vaccination against smallpox: "This can also be regarded as a method to prevent smallpox. By exposing people to the smallpox virus, they develop immunity.
The specific operation methods are: acne clothing method, acne pulp method, dry seedling method, and water seedling method. The pox dressing method is to let normal children wear the clothes of smallpox patients; while the pox pulp method, dry seedling method, and water seedling method all take the pox pulp or scab removed from the mild smallpox patients and put it into the nasal cavity of normal children. Infected acne scabs could also be ground into powder and then blown into the nasal cavities of healthy people to infect them with smallpox.
After careful consideration, thirty healthy villagers who had not contracted smallpox were selected and placed in a secluded courtyard.
Pei Yubing and the old lady extracted smallpox sore liquid from the bodies of those who had less severe cases of smallpox, and implanted it into the bodies of thirty volunteers. Then they were imprisoned in a courtyard and subject to strict control and observation.
At this time, Chu Huizhou woke up in a daze, and after waking up, he also joined the defense battle.
A few days later, all participating villagers developed fever symptoms and smallpox-like rashes on their hands, legs and other parts, and four villagers died one after another.
After the remaining twenty-six villagers recovered, a second round of experiments was conducted. Four more villagers were infected with smallpox and died, but the other twenty-two villagers were not infected! This means that these twenty-two villagers will no longer be infected with smallpox, and the vaccination was successful!
The old lady and the others are very happy! After careful exploration, the old lady decided to let the adults be vaccinated first. When the adults were fine, the old lady asked the children to be vaccinated gradually.
The old lady guessed through these days that the cause of death might be that they could not accurately control the amount of vaccination at that time...
.........
After everyone was well, the old lady gathered everyone together to consider how to deal with these dead villagers. No one spoke for a long time. Chu Huizhou stood up and looked at the old lady and said, "Old lady, I have a It's a very good idea, but some people may not agree if I say it." The old lady was already worried about this matter, but now that Chu Huizhou has stepped forward, it can be said that it has relieved her urgent need. The old lady quickly asked, "Sir, if you have any good ideas, please tell me."
Chu Huizhou smiled and said two simple words: "cremate" when everyone looked at him. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then there were silent curses and some people whispered, "People If they are all gone, then they must be laid to rest, how can they be cremated?” Some people think that after death, people go to live in another world, so they spend a lot of money to build tombs and bring good burial items, so that they can I guarantee that you will have enough food, clothing, housing and transportation when you go to that world. "
Another person said, "The body is the parent's, so burning the body of the deceased is an extremely unfilial act. Cremation is a bad custom."
Chu Huizhou frowned when he heard questions from all directions. He almost forgot that this was no longer his old world.
He turned to look at the old lady, "Old madam, if it is serious, it must be cremated. For corpses infected with serious diseases, cremation is the best way to deal with and eliminate the virus. Madam, please put the overall situation first." Chu Huizhou Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything, she added, "If it's not serious, you can bury it in the ground. Respect the integrity of the body of the deceased, but if possible, sprinkle some lime on it."
The old lady looked at Chu Huizhou, "Do you really want to be cremated?" Chu Huizhou looked directly into the old lady's eyes, "Yes, this is the most effective way to prevent the disease from becoming more serious."
The old lady couldn't understand what Chu Huizhou was talking about about viruses, but she was willing to believe that the young man in front of her would be cremated, which would still cause dissatisfaction to some extent.
But...she had to do this for everyone's safety. She could no longer just watch these villagers disappear.
The old lady sighed and looked at the villagers, "Just do what this young master said. If it is not serious, it will be buried, and if it is more serious, it will be cremated."
Originally, some people were about to say something, but they were stopped one by one by the people around them. They shook their heads slightly and had no choice but to give up after seeing their hands holding up and putting down several times.
……………
When everyone looked towards the blazing fire, the old lady saw that they were all gathered together, so she ordered people to carry those serious corpses into the fire. Some people began to cry uncontrollably, and their tears seemed to have magic power, infecting more people.
A few tears shed from Pei Yubing's eyes. It was strange...how could I not hold back tears? The dead people seemed to have come back to life one by one. A little boy gave her the candied haws that he had treasured for a long time. He obviously wanted to eat it too, but he refused to share and asked her to eat it. She also remembered that The little boy said, "Sister, you are so beautiful. You are as beautiful as the fairy my mother said..."
When Chu Huizhou saw Pei Yubing crying, he panicked. He had never comforted the girl and wanted to dig out a tissue. But then he thought about where there were any tissues here, so he found the hand towel that Pei Yubing had given him to cool down and got it. Pei Yubing carefully wiped her tears in front of her. The two looked at each other for a few seconds and then both looked away.
Pei Yubing thanked him in a low voice. Chu Huizhou put a hand on his ear and leaned in front of Pei Yubing and said, "What did you say? I didn't hear you say it again." Pei Yubing had never seen such a person before and immediately turned his head and thought. She left, but when she looked at the people around her, no one left. Chu Huizhou followed Pei Yubing, making Pei Yubing angry and annoyed.
After a long time, the people surrounding the fire were still reluctant to leave after the fire finished burning. They just looked at the piled corpses quietly. No one knew what they were thinking at the moment.
Pei Yubing originally thought that now that Mr. Chu was awake and there was nothing serious, he could set out to find his sister Pei Shuxue, and then go to Luo City to make plans.
Pei Yubing cooked the meal as usual and gave it to the old lady first, and then she and Chu Huizhou ate. Chu Huizhou was dumbfounded when he saw Pei Yubing. He had been getting fat these days, mainly because the food here was so good. It was nothing like the villages and places they passed before, as if fleeing from the wilderness was just a dream he had.
He had an idea to just stay here and settle here, but looking at Pei Yubing, he still didn't trust Pei Yubing to act alone, and silently said in his heart that he would help her.
