Chapter 244 245 Looking for Cowpox

Mr. Wen grabbed Li Yu's shoulders a little awkwardly and asked excitedly: "Xiaoyu, where did you learn about this method of curing smallpox? We are really blind. We only know how to use pox juice from people, but we have forgotten about cattle." I also get acne.”

Li Yu smiled and said: "Sir, what I want to tell you is, please don't ask me how I know it, but this method is absolutely real and effective. The specific implementation method depends on you. Please don't mention it. It's me who told you this method, after all, I don't know anything about medicine."

Zhou Jia looked at Mr. Wen: "Sir, Yu'er has some adventures that cannot be known to others. I believe what Yu'er said is true. Let's go find the cow with smallpox first!"

Mr. Wen pretended to be angry and said: "Bad boy, are you the only one who believes in Xiaoyu? Mr. Wen also believes that suddenly something you have been looking for suddenly appears in front of you with a "bang". That feeling of surprise.”

Mr. Wen stood up, bowed to Li Yu and said, "Xiaoyu! Thank you, sir."

Li Yu quickly avoided it, feeling suddenly guilty that he could not tell Mr. Wen the truth. He blushed and said, "Sir, you don't have to thank me. It's not me who found this recipe. I'm just telling you what I know."

Zhou Jia hugged Mr. Wen and smiled and said, "Yes! Sir, you don't have to thank Yu'er. We are a family. Why are you so polite? Time waits for no one. Let's go find the sick cow first!"

Mr. Wen smiled energetically and said, "Yes, time waits for no one. Let's set out to find the sick cow."

"I made a few masks for you and Xiao Xi to wear for protection." Li Yu said and hurried back to the house, took out a few masks and let the two of them take them away.

Zhou Jia and Mr. Wen hurried to the Yamen and sent all the Yamen servants to various villages to find sick cows. They also notified the villagers to take the sick cows to the village outside Dongcheng for Mr. Wen to check.

Yu's family and Yu Xianwei went back and said to the Yan siblings: "Yan'er, Cheng Yi, there is a smallpox epidemic outside. You must not go out and run around."

Yu Yan glanced at Yu Xianwei, showed a concerned look and said: "Dad, we understand, you should be careful outside."

Yu Xianwei looked at his well-behaved and sensible daughter and nodded happily: "Dad, I know. You guys stay at home while I go to the Yamen."

Yu Chengyi looked at Yu Xianwei who was striding away, pouted and said to Yan: "Sister, dad lies to us every time. A few years ago, he said that my aunt would come back after the New Year, but she hasn't seen her yet. Auntie, sister, where did the aunt go?"

Yu Yan looked at her brother who was about to cry with red eyes, and thought to herself: My aunt will never come back. A woman who is still a bitch concubine was beaten up in public and sentenced to exile. Even if she comes back to the Yu family alive, she will never come back. I won't want her anymore.

Dad is just a useless man who can't even protect his own woman. Yu Yan clenched her fists angrily and didn't even notice that her nails pierced the palms of her hands.

Cows were delivered from the countryside to the village outside the city one by one. Mr. Wen looked at them one by one and shook their heads in disappointment. Ding Man said to Mr. Wen: "Sir, you still haven't found the sick cow you were looking for?"

Mr. Wen sighed: "No, bring the remaining cows over!"

Ding Man and his men brought the remaining cows over. After Mr. Wen looked at them, he still couldn't find any sick cows with acne. Mr. Wen held back his disappointment and said: "Ding Man, please go back to the Yamen quickly, report the situation to your master, and ask him to hurry up and go to more remote villages to find cattle." Ding Man bowed in agreement and rode away.

At this time, Tu Hui rushed to Zhuangzi on horseback and said to Mr. Wen anxiously: "Sir, there are two more people in the kid's house who have fever, aches all over, and acne on their necks and faces. The Liu family next door My eldest son also started to get sick."

Mr. Wen thought to himself: Sure enough, the news has spread, and now we can only step up the search for sick cows.

"You ask Tu Dianshi to take my prescription to the Huichun Hall, and ask them to prepare the medicine according to it, brew it and give it to those people. The clothes of those who deliver meals to those households must be put away and cannot be compared with those who have not suffered from the disease. exposure to smallpox.”

Tu Hui bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

Several families at the end of East Street have fallen into despair. Everyone is complaining and cursing the Zou family, who was the first to contract smallpox. Especially this morning, it was discovered that someone in the Liu family was also infected, and everyone was like a frightened bird. , worried that someone in the family might also be infected with smallpox.

In a family named Yang next door to the Zou family, Old Man Yang called his two sons and daughter-in-law to the main room. The whole family sat there with a heavy heart and livid faces. Old Man Yang pointed to the next door and said, "The eldest son of the Liu family is sitting there this morning. I started to have a fever. There is a wall between us and the Zou family. I think it will spread to our house sooner or later. I want to wait for Mr. Tu to come and beg him to let the little tiger out and leave one for our old Yang family. back."

Everyone looked at the tiger-headed little boy sitting next to Mrs. Yang, all with their heads lowered and saying nothing. The eldest daughter-in-law was extremely happy: "Thank you, mom and dad, Hu Zi can be sent to my parents' house, and my mother can help take care of him for a while."

The young daughter-in-law kicked the man sitting next to her and pointed at her son in her arms. The man raised his head and looked at Old Man Yang, mustering up his courage and said, "Dad, do you think Master Tu will agree?"

Old Man Yang shook his head and sighed: "I know what you are thinking. Master Tu's promise may be very small. Dad just wants to give it a try. Don't break the harmony between you brothers and sisters-in-law because of things that haven't happened yet."

After hearing this, the two sons and daughter-in-law thought about it and decided that it was the same. Don't hurt your friendship because of something that hasn't been revealed yet.

While talking, Tu Dianshi opened the door and walked in with the medicine. Old man Yang pulled Tu Dianshi and begged; "Master Tu, we are all neighbors, please let my little grandson go out. Please, we are too old to die." Forget it, the child is still young! No one in our family has been infected with smallpox, and it won’t harm anyone if we go out."

Tu Dianshi looked at the begging eyes and hardened his heart: "Brother, it's not that I'm cruel and don't want to let you go out. You also know that smallpox is going to be passed on to others. Just wait patiently for a few more days. Master Zhou has already found the prescription and is looking for an introduction to the medicine. By then, everyone will no longer have to worry."

When Old Man Yang's eldest son saw that his begging failed, he turned around and took out a machete from the house, pointed at Tu Dianshi and threatened: "Master Tu, it's not my child who has contracted that disease. Why do you lock us up and let us go?" go out?"

Tu Dianshi looked at him without fear and shouted: "Yang Xiaodou, there are government servants and policemen outside. Do you think you can escape if you kill me?"
