Li Qi told Zong Mixing the process of vaccination with cowpox, and Zong Mixing found it very incredible.
The so-called cowpox vaccination is nothing more than removing the pustules from the cow, and then applying the pus to the wound of the person, so that the person has the ability to be immune to smallpox.
Smallpox in cattle is not fatal to humans, it only causes some discomfort. After those symptoms of discomfort pass, you can be permanently immune to smallpox.
"Master Li, have you ever used the method you mentioned?" Zong Mixing asked.
This question really stopped Li Qi. He pondered for a moment before saying, "I haven't tried it, but it should be fine."
"I've never tried it, how could Mr. Li think it's okay?" Zong Mixing said.
Li Qi suddenly didn't know what to say, and thought: Grandma, could it be that I want to tell you that many people will use this method to be immune to smallpox in the future?
Seeing that Li Qi didn't speak, Zong Mixing said: "Master Li, I just want to confirm. After all, the method you mentioned is too unbelievable, and if it is not done right, people may die."
"So that's what you're worried about." Li Qi said, "It doesn't matter. Just use me as a test subject when the time comes."
Zong Mixing was startled: "Ah?"
"Don't worry, you won't die." Li Qi said.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Li Qi thought about it again and again in his mind.
I learned about cowpox in my biology class, and the teacher told me about it at the time, so it should be no problem.
The master of the village learned that his daughter and Li Qi were isolated in the back mountain, so he asked people to bring a lot of things over, and also asked a few maids to come over to serve them.
But everyone who came over was driven back by Zong Mixing.
After all, smallpox is highly contagious, and you are likely to burp if you contract the disease.
Even if you don't burp, it will leave serious sequelae.
For several days, after Li Qi made sure that neither he nor Zong Mixing was infected with smallpox, he had some cows sent over.
Cowpox usually appears on the chest of cows. After several days of selection, we finally found a suitable cow.
After removing the cowpox pus from the cow's chest, Li Qi put it in a bowl.
With all preparations in place, Li Qi asked Zong Mixing to inoculate himself with cowpox with a knife.
"Master Li, are you sure this method is feasible?" Zong Mixing was still hesitant.
Li Qi nodded: "Don't worry, there will be no problem."
"But..." Zong Mixing was still a little worried.
Seeing her hesitant look, Li Qi couldn't help but want to tease her, so he said: "Although no one has tried this method, I believe in me, Mr. Jiu Lao."
"Mr. Jiulao?"
"Yes, it's an old man who has been volunteering for nine years. He will definitely not be wrong." Li Qi said, "If he is really wrong, at worst, my life will be put on hold. But if it succeeds, what will happen to the disease in the southwest?"
It can be controlled. Think about it, if it succeeds, what will it mean to ordinary people?"
Although he said so, Li Qi was actually more afraid of death than anyone else.
The main reason why he wanted to plant cowpox first was because he was afraid of contracting smallpox.
Seeing Li Qi say this, Zong Mixing's eyes suddenly turned red unconsciously.
"Why are you crying?" Li Qi asked with confusion.
Zong Mixing took a deep breath and said: "Master Li, you are the real man I have ever seen!"
Before Li Qi could react, Zong Mixing hugged him suddenly and slid directly into his arms.
This sudden hug caught Li Qi off guard. What's going on with him?
What Li Qi didn't know was that the contact during this period of time made Zong Mixing admire him a little.
As the saying goes, any good impression and liking are based on worship.
When a woman admires a man, she is not far away from falling in love with that man.
Zong Mixing admired Li Qi's erudition, and now Li Qi tried his best to sacrifice himself for justice.
Such an action caused the last line of defense in Zong Mixing's heart to completely collapse.
She is an extremely conceited woman. In her eyes, there is no man in the world that she can fall in love with.
But since Li Qi appeared, she knew that she was wrong, and how wrong she was.
Grandma, what should I do now?
Li Qi originally wanted to inspire himself to be a scumbag, but at the critical moment he backed down.
Looking at Zong Mixing in his arms, Li Qi felt entangled in his heart.
Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, you have posed a difficult problem for me this time.
After a while, Zong Mixing left Li Qi's arms, looked at Li Qi firmly and said, "Master Li, please promise me something."
"Huh? What's the matter?" Li Qi was still a little confused and asked subconsciously.
Zong Mixing picked up the knife in his hand: "I will inoculate the cowpox."
As she said this, she saw the knife coming down, already making a cut on her arm.
The bright red blood flowed down her slender arms, forming a sharp contrast.
Li Qi came back to his senses and said, "Why did you make such a big cut?"
After saying that, he quickly stopped her bleeding, but was stopped by Zong Mixing: "Vaccinate me with cowpox."
Li Qi took a deep breath, but couldn't resist her valuation, so she could only pick up the cowpox pus on the side and apply some on her wound.
After the vaccination, Li Qi quickly stopped her bleeding and told her about the situation that would occur in the next few days.
"You will have mild symptoms of smallpox in the next ten days, but you don't have to worry. Once those symptoms pass, you will be completely immune to smallpox..." Li Qi explained.
Zong Mixing nodded with a smile on his face, seemingly not afraid.
"Since you have been vaccinated with cowpox, I will not vaccinate you now. After all, you need someone to take care of you. If I also get vaccinated, it may not be convenient at that time." Li Qi said.
This is mainly because we are afraid of any emergencies.
Within a few days, Zong Mixing began to develop some rashes, and some of the symptoms were similar to smallpox. During this time, Li Qi has been by her side to take care of her.
When Zong Mixing's rash began to disappear little by little and he recovered, Li Qi knew that the vaccinia vaccination was successful.
However, for the sake of safety, there was one last step that needed to be done, which was to let Zong Mixing come into contact with those smallpox patients.
If she has no infection, then it proves that there is really no problem.
In Li Qi's opinion, there shouldn't be any big problem. If there was a problem, Zong Mixing would have died long ago.
"Master Li, am I immune to smallpox now?"
The torment during this period of time made Zong Mixing think that she was going to die several times. If she hadn't seen Li Qi by her side all the time, she felt that she would definitely not be able to survive.
