The medical standards of ancient China were definitely second to none in the world.
However, they were still relatively backward. As the saying went, they relied on their peers to set them off.
Although the Xia Empire had already developed a systematic medical treatment method, their resistance to diseases was still much weaker.
In the face of an incurable disease like smallpox, he was even more powerless.
Up until now, even in modern times, there was no way to completely eradicate smalllessness. At most, it could only be prevented.
Su Li only wanted to know how far smallflower had developed. Once such an incurable disease spread, it would absolutely be a disaster for the current Great Tang.
While Su Li was treating the patient, Huichang Temple was also filled with voices.
The small-flower disease had already started to wreak havoc among the people. The ordinary people who had no way to get treatment could only pin their hopes on Buddha.
Buddhism, because it promoted the theory of causality, was highly respected by high officials and nobles.
Now, it was already on par with Taoism. When Xuanzang traveled eastward in the future, Buddhism would completely take root in this land.
Today, Huichang Temple looked much livelier than usual. Not only were there dignitaries and nobles coming in and out, but there were also ordinary people.
Their faces were filled with anxiety and anxiety, hoping that Buddha could cure their illness.
Thanks to these commoners, the incense money of Huichang Temple had doubled in the past few days.
"Master, can my child be cured?”
A farmer's wife was holding a six-year-old child, her face full of anxiety.
"Patron, as long as you sincerely worship Bodhisattva, your son's condition will definitely improve.”
……
In despair, people could grab onto a straw and would never let go.
Nowadays, doctors had no way to cure small-flower, and the illusory Buddha had become their only hope.
The farmer used all her savings to buy two incense sticks and held her child in her arms to pray sincerely to Buddha.
He hoped that Buddha would open his eyes and not let his child lose his young life.
……
During these three days, Su Li used the knowledge of his previous life to urgently inoculate the villagers in various places with cowacne to prevent smalllessness. However, smalllessness still seemed to be developing at the speed of an outbreak.
On this day…
A few monks came to the village.
Su Li had indeed only managed to find a little clue to cure small-flower, but he was still far from it.
That youth was already dead, and the small-flower came too violently.
Compared to the helpless volunteer medical treatment, the villagers were attracted by the monks.
"Can my Erlang's illness be cured?"
"As long as you sincerely worship Buddha, Buddha will save you!”
Tyrant said.
"There are many commoners in Huichang Temple who have contracted small-flower. With the spirit medicine given by Buddha, they can recover in three to five days.”
After hearing the name of Huichang Temple and seeing the monk take out his diploma, the people did not suspect him and sincerely followed him to worship.
Su Li watched from the side with a cold gaze.
"Fuma, is their Buddha really that effective?”An acolyte asked curiously.
"If Buddha was useful, why would he need a doctor?”Su Li sneered.
"But the day before yesterday, I also heard that there were people who were infected with smallflower who ate the spirit medicine given by Buddha and recovered.”
Su Li frowned.
"That's cowacne, not small-flower.”
It was very similar to cowacne, but they were not the same thing.
Smallflower kills, but cowacne doesn't.
Even though the symptoms were similar to smallpox, it would cause the body to produce a type of antibodies. Those with good physical fitness would recover in three to five days and never get smallpox again.
Cattle's cowx was born on the body of a cow, and humans could also be infected. Su Li had been using cowx these few days as a precaution against smalllessness.
It could be considered a preventive measure for this era, but even now, Su Li only had a hint of a special medicine.
The time it took for the smallflower to wreak havoc was very fast, so fast that even Su Li was unable to guard against it.
He had already sent a message to Li Er on the first day, but Li Er did not seem to take it seriously.
It had only been three days, but the smallflower seemed to have spread.
"Worship Buddha? Worshipping Buddha is courting death!"
Su Li cursed.
For an infectious disease like this, the most reasonable way was to isolate it. If many people went to worship Buddha, it would only speed up the spread of smalllessness.
"Why hasn't Li Er issued a ban yet?”Su Li was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Er.
If this kind of thing was dealt with slowly, people would really die.
Fortunately, it was still the initial stage of smalllessness. The only known death case was the teenager.
The three monks were still chanting sutras, and Su Li's heart was in a mess.
After paying their respects, the commoners sincerely sent their copper coins to the Merit Box. The monk smiled.
"This is the incense ash that my two senior brothers and I have used our cultivation techniques to enhance. If anyone in your family has smallflower, just mix it with water and take it.”
The monk handed the incense ashes that he had prepared to the commoners who had invested money. The other commoners instantly understood and took out the big money in their arms and threw it into the Merit Box.
"Damn it, so he's a monk who scams money. He really wants money more than his life!”
Su Li cursed. Just now, he had thought that the monk had come to pray for the villagers, so he had not stopped him. Now, it seemed that he was not praying, but rather to amass wealth!
Stealing the hard-earned money of those commoners!
"Chase them away!" Su Li instructed the surrounding acolytes.
These apprentices were all children. They were all curiously watching how the monk was treating the illness and did not see through the monk's deception. When they heard Su Li's words, there was still some confusion in their eyes.
Su Li was currently feeling rather irritated. When he had caught a cold as a child, he had suffered the loss of a bald donkey. In the past few days, he had been at his wit's end because of the small-flower incident, so he was not in the mood to explain things to these apprentices.
"We have to get Li Er to issue a notice as soon as possible to prohibit the people from going out at will. At the same time, we have to get the people to be injected with cowacne as soon as possible!”
Looking at these money-grubbing monks, Su Li's frustration grew even more.
"Thieving bald donkey, you're making trouble!"
The group of apprentices listened to Su Li's orders and chased away the three monks from Huichang Temple.
The monk understood what it meant to have the advantage in numbers. However, his pitiful performance successfully made the people's attitude towards the group of doctors become much colder.
"Tell them not to trust any Taoist priest or monk. If anyone at home has been inoculated with cowacne, come here immediately.”
Su Li gave some instructions and continued to study the prescription to resolve smallsmallflower.
If Li Er didn't say anything, what he could do was indeed very limited.
For example, right now, the most reasonable method would be to ban the entire city from going out at will and quarantine the small-flower patients. However, Li Er did not say anything. Even if Su Li understood the terror of small-flower, he could only watch as they continued to spread.
He couldn't just ban the people from going out. There were only a few hundred people in the Imperial Academy of Medicine. It was useless…
(Please give me some flowers and evaluation votes. It hasn't increased in a long time!)）
