Chapter 88 Vaccine-induced immune system

……

"Four days ago, Master Jiu went to Zhoujia Village to treat a patient, but he found that the patient was suffering from the plague. Master Jiu immediately reported the case to the county government, and Zhoujia Village was sealed off by soldiers that day."

Goudan narrated anxiously:

"At first, Master Jiu was fine, but just two days ago, he suddenly fell ill. I wanted to come to see you at that time, but Master Jiu knew that this was a plague and was afraid that it would be transmitted to you, so he didn't let me come. But today, Master Jiu's condition suddenly worsened, so I hurried to find you!"

After listening to Goudan's story, Wu Wen grabbed him by the collar and said seriously: "Why didn't you come earlier!"

There was a hint of reproach in his eyes, but more of anxiety.

Goudan was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was about to cry.

"Okay!" Seeing this, Wu Wen calmed down and said soothingly, "I'll go back with you now."

"Young Master, I'll go with you." Yang Ergou said hurriedly.

"No need!" Wu Wen stretched out his hand to stop him.

"You can't help if you go. If you get infected by the plague again, it will only cause more trouble. Besides, the work in the East Palace cannot be stopped. You should stay here and ask for leave for me tomorrow."

"Okay, I understand!" Yang Ergou nodded.

Wu Wen took Goudan with him and bought a horse on the way out of Chang'an City. The two of them rode at full speed back to Zhujia Village.

home.

"Xu~"

Turn over and dismount.

Wu Wen pushed open the gate of the courtyard and rushed into the house with big strides.

"Master Jiu!"

I saw Master Zhu Jiu lying on the bed with a bowl of medicine on the bedside.

"Why are you here? Get out!"

When Master Zhu Jiu saw Wu Wen, he was afraid that he would be infected by his plague, so he immediately waved his hand and asked him to go out.

Wu Wen strode forward and identified the disease that Jiu Ye was suffering from at a glance.

Chills, high fever, and skin rashes are smallpox!
Wu Wen's heart tightened. He didn't expect that Master Jiu was suffering from smallpox. This was a problem.

He took the medicine bowl from the bedside, which still had a little medicine base in it, and checked it.

Honeysuckle, Forsythia, Schizonepeta, Saposhnikovia... these are all medicinal herbs that can clear away heat, detoxify, dispel wind and disperse evil.

He knew almost instantly what the medicine that Jiu Ye was drinking was.

"No, these medicines don't work!"

Wu Wen turned and left, went to the pharmacy and got the medicine himself.

The effective prescription for treating smallpox comes to mind.

"When the smallpox fever occurs in the prodromal stage, Sangjuyin can be used for treatment; in the early stage of smallpox rash, Shengma Gegentang can be used for treatment; when the smallpox enters the pustular stage, Shashen Maidongtang can be used for treatment..."

At the door of the pharmacy, Goudan was lying on the edge of the door, watching him nervously as he got the medicine.

After preparing the prescription skillfully, Wu Wen immediately went to the kitchen, lit a fire and boiled the medicine.

Smallpox is a disease that is almost untreatable in the absence of specific antiviral drugs, and the patient can only rely on his or her own resistance to resist the invasion of the smallpox virus.

If you can bear it, you will live; if you can’t, you will die.

"Goudan, watch the fire!" Wu Wen called out.

"Oh!" Goudan immediately trotted over and stood by the stove.

Wu Wen entered the house again, took out the silver needle, and gave acupuncture to Master Jiu.

He wanted to use acupuncture with golden needles to stimulate the vitality in Jiu Ye's body and enhance his resistance.

"Is Zhu Jiu here?"

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps in the yard, accompanied by a loud shout.

Wu Wen walked out of the house, looked at the arrogant county yamen runners in front of him, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"

"I ask you, where is Zhu Jiu?" An officer walked up to Wu Wen and scolded him.

Wu Wen took out the token from his waist and showed it in front of them.

When everyone saw this, they immediately took a step back in fear.

"I am Wu Wen, the commander of the Eastern Palace. Let me ask you, why are you here to find Master Zhu Jiu?" Wu Wen asked seriously.

"Commander Wu!"

An officer came forward and answered flatteringly: "Isn't this Mr. Zhu Jiu who has been to Zhoujia Village? There is now an outbreak of plague there. We are following the arrangements of the county government. All people who have been to Zhoujia Village must be examined. Anyone with a physical problem will be taken back to Zhoujia Village for quarantine."

The county government's move was undoubtedly to stop the spread of the plague. But at the same time, Wu Wen also knew that this was to let these people fend for themselves, because the county government was almost unable to treat the plague.

"You can go now!" Wu Wen said coldly.

"But, we haven't seen it yet..." the officer said hesitantly.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Wu Wen said harshly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Seeing Wu Wen was about to get angry, everyone immediately left in a hurry.

"Brother Awen, the medicine is ready!" Half an hour later, the medicine was ready, and Goudan called out.

Wu Wen poured the medicine into a bowl and brought it into the room.

"Awen, stay away from me, I am suffering from pea pox!" The pea pox that Jiu Ye mentioned is smallpox.

"Master Jiu, don't worry. This disease is not scary to me!" Wu Wen said with peace of mind, feeding Master Jiu the medicine himself.

"Can you cure pea sores?" asked Master Jiu doubtfully.

"No, but I will take precautions," Wu Wen replied.

"How to prevent it?" Jiu Ye asked hurriedly.

After hearing Wu Wen say that he could take precautions, Master Zhu Jiu even stopped taking his medicine, looking anxious.

"Master Jiu, do you know about 'vaccination'?" Wu Wen asked.

"Yeah!" Master Zhu Jiu nodded.

In the medical books copied by Wu Wen, there is a record of a vaccination technique, which is to apply the pus of a person infected with the smallpox virus to a healthy person to prevent smallpox, but this technique is extremely risky.

Wu Wen continued, "The vaccinations recorded in the books now all use human pox, which is very dangerous. If it is replaced with cowpox, it will be much safer."

"Cowpox? Please tell me in detail." Jiu Ye asked impatiently.

"Take the medicine first. When you recover, I will tell you slowly." Wu Wen coaxed.

"No, tell me now!" Master Zhu Jiu insisted, "Do you know how many lives can be saved if your method is really effective?"

Seeing Master Zhu Jiu's anxious attitude, Wu Wen had to stop feeding the medicine and slowly said, "After the cow gets pea sore, it will eliminate most of the toxicity of the disease. At this time, if it is planted on a human, it will only cause slight discomfort to the human, and will be able to resist the disease from then on."

"Are you telling the truth?" asked Master Zhu Jiu.

"Of course it's true." Wu Wen answered affirmatively.

"Okay, go quickly and tell the county government the news." Master Zhu Jiu urged.

Seeing that he was very emotional at the moment, which was not conducive to his recovery, Wu Wen immediately comforted him: "Master Jiu, don't worry. It's already dark now, and there's no need to rush at the moment. I'll go when it's light tomorrow."

At this moment, the county officials who were driven away by Wu Wen came back again.

Wu Wen looked displeased, walked out of the room and came to the yard.

However, they found that the leader was a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest, and the officers were very respectful to him.

"Who are you?" Wu Wen asked doubtfully.

"I am Sun Simiao!" the other party said with a smile.

Medicine King Sun Simiao! Wu Wen stared at him closely.

When Sun Simiao heard that plague had broken out in Xiazhoujia Village, Wannian County, he immediately came to help treat the disease. It was he who proposed the county government's quarantine.

When the messenger came back to report the situation on Wu Wen's side, Sun Simiao roughly guessed that Zhu Jiu should also have contracted the plague.

In order to prevent the virus from spreading again, he made the trip in person.

"Commander Wu, is Doctor Zhu Jiu also suffering from pea sores? Can you let me go and take a look?" Sun Simiao asked.

"Yes, please!" Wu Wen extended his hand to invite.

After entering the room, Sun Simiao saw the situation of Master Zhu Jiu and immediately said to himself: It is just as I expected.

"Who are you?" Master Zhu Jiu asked puzzledly when he saw someone coming in.

"I am Sun Simiao!" Sun Simiao replied.

"You are Sun Simiao!" exclaimed Master Zhu Jiu.

At this time, although Sun Simiao had not yet been awarded the title of King of Medicine, his reputation was already very high.

Sun Simiao came to Master Zhu Jiu, felt his pulse and examined him, while also checking the medicine he was taking.

After a moment, he confirmed his condition and nodded slightly, saying, "Your condition has stabilized. At this rate, your pea sores will fade in three to five days at most."

Then, Sun Simiao stood up and said to Wu Wen, "I wonder what method Commander Wu used to treat him?"

"Acupuncture with golden needles!" Wu Wen replied.

"Oh?" Sun Simiao was quite surprised. Just when he wanted to have an in-depth discussion with Wu Wen.

Master Zhu Jiu, who was standing by, said, "My disciple has a 'cowpox' method that can prevent pea sores."

Hearing this, Sun Simiao immediately listened with curiosity.

After listening to Master Zhu Jiu's story, Sun Simiao closed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

"Use the host body method to remove the poison, and then integrate it into the body, so that you will not be afraid of the poison!"

Sun Simiao looked at Wu Wen seriously with deep eyes.

"Has Commander Wu ever learned witchcraft?"
