Chapter 116(1/2)
115. The epidemic spreads
"oh?"
Su Mu asked with concern: "My father-in-law, what is the current situation of the maid who is infected with the plague?"
It is true: he has to pay attention to this matter.
If the plague is allowed to spread, everyone in the Ning Palace will probably suffer, including his father-in-law and even Li Mingyue, who are at risk of infection.
"Don't worry, son-in-law!"
Ning Wang was calm and smiled, "This is thanks to the son-in-law's [Niu Yulu]. Just one drop, the maid cured. The ulcerated skin was restored to new heights, and the fever symptoms also subsided, and it became full of vitality again..."
"A drop? Heal..."
Su Mu frowned and suddenly asked with caution: "My father-in-law, where is that maid at this moment?"
He seriously suspected that the maid's plague was not completely cured.
In essence, [Niu Yulu] has only one function, that is, it provides powerful vitality.
Although [Niu Yulu] has good effects on "internal and external trauma", "toxins", "bacteria, viruses", the effectiveness mechanism is completely different.
For external and internal injuries, [Niu Yulu] directly replenishes vitality, and the effect is naturally the best;
In the face of toxins, the effective principle of [Niu Yulu] is: repairing poisoned organs and tissues, and assisting the body system in detoxification;
In the face of bacteria and viruses, the way of action is: to provide vitality to the body system, act as a nurse, and repeatedly tug-of-war with bacteria and viruses until antibodies are produced.
It can be said that among these three situations, [Niu Yulu] is the most indirect and has the lowest utilization rate for viruses and bacteria.
This means that the maid infected with the plague may appear after taking [Niuyulu]: For the time being, the powerful vitality provided by [Niuyulu] suppresses the bacteria and makes the person appear to be cured on the surface; in fact, it has not improved completely.
If the vitality provided by [Niu Yulu] is consumed and the body system has not produced specific antibodies against the 'bacteria', the germs will be pushed back and the disease will be repeated.
"That maid? She's cured, so she's going to do things normally."
When King Ning found that Su Mu's expression was wrong, he immediately realized something was wrong: "Son-in-law, what's wrong? But what's wrong with this?"
"I can't explain it. My father-in-law, please send someone quickly to isolate the maid!"
Sumu's solemn way.
"Come!"
During the three or four months of getting along, King Ning believed in Sumu. Without thinking, he immediately called someone and prepared to follow Sumu's instructions.
It's a coincidence.
At this moment, a brocade butler came hurriedly with an anxious look on his face.
"Your Majesty, something is not good."
The housekeeper reported: "The maid named 'Qiuyu' has relapsed... and other maids and servants have also appeared. The symptoms are: fever, skin ulceration, and obviously a plague... There are three cases so far!"
"What's going on? The mansion has sufficient supplies. Didn't I tell you: Let the people below not leave the mansion? Why are there so many patients?"
King Ning asked with an ugly face.
"Back to the prince,"
The housekeeper said carefully: "According to investigations, these infected people have never left the house. The only thing in common is that they have all come into contact with the infected maid..."
"She wasn't cured?!"
Ning Wang's eyebrows moved and he was shocked.
"well!"
Su Mu suddenly sighed, knowing that the worst situation had happened.
It’s not that: [Niuyu Lu] cannot cure this plague, but: a drop of [Niuyu Lu] may not be enough.
Each person has different physiques.
Some people, perhaps a drop of [Niu Yulu] is enough to produce antibodies in the body;
Some people, if they are suffering from the epidemic and want to be truly cured, they must take one or two drops of [Niu Yulu] to provide sufficient vitality... In this way, the body can repeatedly tug-of-war with the bacteria until antibodies are produced in the body.
There are two operations.
Or, add oil tactics, take a drop of [Niu Yulu], check the condition, take another drop after repeated recurrence until it improves completely;
Or, take a few more drops of [Niu Yulu] in one step to supplement excessive vitality and create rapid antibodies in the body system. This is also OK.
Of course, even if antibodies are produced, it does not mean that it is completely safe.
Because: this person may still carry "germs" on his body, and it is okay for him, but it can become a "pathogen" that infects other people.
Think about it a little further. If the 'germs' that cause the plague will mutate, even if the same person is cured and antibodies are produced in the body, they may still be infected again.
Obviously, the Ning Wangfu 'won the first prize' this time: either, the maid was not completely cured; or, the maid was cured and transmitted to other people, after the 'bacteria' mutates, it will be reverse-infected and cross-infected again.
In comparison, the former is not bad, but if it is the latter... that is troublesome.
"Is that true?"
After experiencing the storm, King Ning quickly calmed down after a brief loss of consciousness and issued an order: "All symptoms appear, one is counted as one, and all are isolated... Also, the maid who has been in contact with him, even if no symptoms are found yet, they will be isolated..."
"Also: The inner house is blocked, except for one or two absolutely safe ones, you can enter and serve. Others have to allow them, and they are not allowed to enter..."
He was organized and ordered one by one.
"Why!"
The butler silently wrote it down. After King Ning finished his order, he agreed and hurried down to deal with the matter.
Wait for this person to leave.
King Ning turned his head to look at Su Mu, and then asked worriedly: "Son-in-law, is this plague really so fierce? Even your [Niu Yulu] cannot be cured?"
“That’s not.”
Su Mu thought about it and explained the principle of [Niu Yulu] in simple terms using what people in this world can understand.
"It's like this?"
When King Ning heard this, he felt his eyes open. Then, he seemed to remember something and asked with a strange look: "Son-in-law, as you say: The maid's condition has not been cured. Is it because I have used less [Niu Yulu]?"
"This... can be said the same."
Su Mu smiled, then shook his head and said, "Of course, even if there are a lot of [nion jade dew] used, the maid will still be infected if it should be infected; the person who should be infected will still be infected."
"The only change is: the maid named 'Liu' is certainly likely to be fine."
Having said that.
Su Mu sorted out his thoughts and said, "My father-in-law, I have something to ask for the infected person in your mansion to cooperate with me to do a test..."
"Of course."
King Ning clapped his hands and called a manager directly.
"Son-in-law, just let go of your actions. If you have any ideas, please tell Yao to be in charge. He will cooperate..."
When he said this, his tone paused: "Although those servants are infected with the plague, they have been killed by death, if possible, you should try your best to protect them."
That’s right, in this era, ‘human rights awareness’ is so weak.
In particular, the servants in wealthy families, the "selling contract" in the hands of the owner is considered a kind of wealth like an "animal". Even if they are unhappy and beat them to death, they can only pay a fine.
From the previous words, we can see that even King Ning doesn’t care much about the life and death of these servants.
Even if he is good, he will give it a special explanation, it is best not to hurt his life.
——If other big households in the city are afraid that they will not explain, and they will only give their servants joy. Even worse, they may deliberately infect more servants and provide Sumu with "test materials" to curry favor with them.
"My father-in-law is overly worried."
Su Mu waved his hand: "The test I did is harmless to those people, but it is beneficial."
Said.
A golden light flashed with his palm, and he took out a bottle of [Niu Yu Dew], a basket of ‘fruits’, and a stack of ‘masks’.
First, we introduced the function of the 'mask', so that the testers can pay attention to wearing it.
Immediately.
Su Mucai said: "Manager Yao, wait a moment, you will isolate those patients separately, leaving one person to hold his life with the 'spiritual fruit'. Then, use the 'oil-adding tactic' to let other patients take [Nian Yulu]. The specific operation is like this..."
"Please note the amount of [noxa dew] needed to cure them... After curing them, let other cured people contact the infected person who is left unprotected..."
That's right!
Sumu did this just to test whether the 'bacteria' of this plague will mutate.
The order is finished.
Su Mu waved his hand and asked Manager Yao to go to the test, and then said to Ning Wang: "My father-in-law, I'm disturbed. For this test, I'm afraid I'll stay in the mansion for a day or two..."
"What are you disturbing? The family doesn't speak two families."
King Ning waved his hand: "Besides, to be honest: I am more at ease with you here... I can't ask for anything!"
