The reason why Du He wanted to die was because he thought it was a dream and wanted to wake up soon, but now, he felt the pain, proving that it was not a dream...

Du He pulled out his hairpin, threw it aside, and began to pinch it on all parts of his body, but he grinned in pain.

He suddenly collapsed to the ground, lost in his heart, muttering to himself: "How could this happen? I didn't feel the pain before, how could it be like this? Did I really travel through time? Will I die? I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

The dark man beside him was frightened by Du He's crazy words and deeds. He stood aside and did not dare to speak or move. Just when Du He was extremely desperate, a shout came from outside the temple: "Du Shaolang!..."

Du He heard that it was Sun Simiao's voice, and he quickly responded loudly: "I'm here!" After saying that, he got up and rushed outside the temple.

As soon as he walked to the courtyard of the Land Temple, Sun Simiao had already entered the courtyard gate. Du He hurried forward, grabbed Sun Simiao's arms, and said anxiously: "Senior, save me! Save me!"

Sun Simiao said angrily: "How can you come to this place? This is a place that is close to smallpox patients!"

"Don't talk about this for now." Du He said anxiously, "I'm infected with the sky, senior, save me."

Although he knew that smallpox was indelible, he was afraid of death and almost instinctively asked for help.

"Don't panic first." Sun Simiao said, "Have you ever contacted someone after you come in?"

"It's more than just contact!" Du He pointed to the strong man in the temple and said, "I used a hairpin to tear a smallpox on his body, and then stabbed his arm with the hairpin." He said as he raised his left arm and showed the wound on his arm that had just been stabbed by the hairpin.

"Ah?" Sun Simiao was stunned when he heard this, looked at the wound on his arm, and asked in surprise, "Why are you like this? Isn't this a way out for death?"

"I..." Du He didn't know how to explain, so he could only lie, "I want to help you verify your method of planting flowers."

"You can plant flowers at will?" Sun Simiao was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "That prisoner who planted flowers is dead!"

Du He was shocked when he heard this, feeling completely disappointed. After a long time, he turned his head to look at Sun Simiao and asked quietly, "Am I... dead too?"

"Look first, let's talk about it." Sun Simiao could only comfort him, "If you get smallpox, you won't be sure to die. If you are healthy, free from illness or pain, you may still be able to hold on..."

Hearing these words, Du He felt that Sun Simiao had sentenced him to death. He returned to the corridor steps of the Land Temple in a daze and sat down, murmured: "I hope this is a dream, a dream..."

Seeing that he was a little dazed and couldn't bother him, Sun Simiao could only sigh and walk back. He wanted to tell Du Gou about Du He's situation immediately.

Du Gou was waiting anxiously outside the roadblock. Seeing Sun Simiao coming back, he couldn't wait to ask: "Where is Du He, is he inside?"

Sun Simiao nodded: "Inside, and... he is likely to have already been infected with the sky."

When Du Gou heard this, he felt dizzy and the wind and cold had not yet healed, and he felt dizzy and tinnitus for a moment. Fortunately, the yamen runners were holding him aside and did not fall.

"Why do you think this is like this...why do you think this is like this...what..." Du He was so anxious that he was speechless.

Sun Simiao apologized: "It's all because of the Taoist priests. The Taoist priest once told him how to plant flowers. He might have wanted to help the Taoist priests verify the method of planting flowers, so he sneaked in and used a hairpin to provoke the smallpox acne of a smallpox patient and stabbed it on his arm... Alas..." He couldn't even say anything, shook his head and sighed.

Du Gou naturally couldn't blame Sun Simiao for his fault. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "This coward, he is just a coward! Why did the Du family produce such a coward..."

Wang Danian, who was standing beside him, kept wiping tears and blaming himself: "I didn't care about Young Man, I should die, I would go in and accompany Young Man..." He said as he was about to break in.

Sun Simiao pushed him back and shouted, "Don't make trouble! You are still causing trouble here!"

The yamen runners also began to comfort Du Gou: "Mr. Du County should not be sad first, maybe a young man will have a good fortune..."

Sun Simiao also began to persuade him: "Mr. Du County, things have come to this point, so I can only do my best to leave my destiny. You have not recovered from serious illness, so I must take care of you. Ci County still needs you to take charge of the overall situation."

As soon as he finished speaking, a yamen runs over and shouts: "Mr. Du, something is not good. County Magistrate Wang sends a quick Malay newspaper, Huangyang Town, Luliu Village, Zhangjia Village, and Chenjia Village, and ceilings have also appeared in four places!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Du Gou was originally very sad, but after hearing the news, he had no time to feel sad. He immediately walked west and said as he walked: "Senior Sun, you will be the abbot here. Leave ten people here for you to use. Others follow me to go to Huangyang Town. Liu Fu, please ride your horse back to the city and tell Wang County Magistrate to immediately mobilize all the people in the county government to go to the other three villages, find all smallpox patients, separate them from those who are not sick, and prohibit everyone from going out..."

In just a moment, only ten people from the county government evacuated. The elderly Li was looking at Sun Simiao worriedly and asked, "King Sun Yao, County Magistrate Du is not concerned about us?"

Sun Simiao explained: "You have misunderstood the epidemic in your village, so it has been controlled. As long as you continue to maintain this, isn't this still the Taoist priests and ten yamen runners left behind?"

Li Zheng nodded repeatedly.

Sun Simiao arranged for two yamen runners to guard the roadblock here, and then took the others back.

Today was a sleepless night for Du He. He sat on the futon in front of the statue of the land and was stunned all night.

The next morning, a scream suddenly came from outside: "No! The Xu family's Ah Weng is not good..."

Du He has recovered a little now and walked out of the land temple slowly. An old man was carried out of the thatched hut and placed on the ground. The old man's face was covered with smallpox, his eyes were slightly closed, his mouth was slowly opened and closed, and his hands were trying hard to move, but he couldn't do any movement.

Other people from the hut also walked out of the house and looked up at the Xu family Aweng, their eyes full of sadness.

It was also the first time that Du He saw all the smallpox patients here. He found that there were still several children, the youngest one was only three or four years old.

"Go and tell County Magistrate Du!" someone shouted.

Immediately a young man ran westward.

After a while, the Xu family Aweng stopped moving his mouth and hands. His son and daughter-in-law tried their breath, and then cried out. Obviously, the Xu family Aweng had left.

The sad crying enveloped the small land temple. It was the first time in his life that Du He saw a person die in front of him, and this feeling was really bad.

He felt very sad and also sad for himself. Maybe it won’t take long to be the one lying there. Who will cry for him at that time? Maybe my brother Du Gou will cry, but unfortunately he can’t see it.

After a while, Sun Simiao came, but the Xu family's old man was dead, and it was useless to come. He could only tell them to bury the body as soon as possible.

The villagers found the open space and began to dig pits to bury the bodies. Except for a few children, everyone helped, but Du He stood silently in front of the temple without saying a word.

Sun Simiao walked to Du He, raised his hand and touched Du He's forehead, and said solemnly: "It seems that there are symptoms."

Du He also touched his forehead, it was indeed a little hot, and sighed helplessly: "Yes, the venom of smallpox has entered my body, and I can't escape."

Sun Simiao originally wanted to comfort him, but he really couldn't think of any words of comfort, so he planned to change the topic and said, "Your brother knows that you are infected with the panic..."

Du He asked: "Has he cried?"

He really wanted to know whether his only relative in this world had shed tears for him.

"He was very sad." Sun Simiao said, "almost fainted."

When Du He heard that Du Gou was so sad, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "You can help me persuade him, and then tell him that I'm going to see the grandpa, it's not a bad thing."

Sun Simiao said: "He is no longer at home and there are smallpox in four villages and towns. He has left Xiaohe Village and gone to other places to control the epidemic."

"Smallopsis appeared in four places?" Du He asked in surprise when he heard this, "How many places did the prisoner who planted flowers go to?"

"Maybe it wasn't his infection." Sun Simiao said, "He is from Xiaohe Village. When he returned to the village, he spread it to some villagers. Those villagers may have been to Huangyang Town, so they passed it to others. Alas... Smallpox is so contagious, one thing spreads to ten, ten hundred."

Du He was a little worried about Du Gou. He looked at the children with smallpox on his face and felt very unbearable. After a long time, he suddenly said: "Senior Grandpa, through your flower planting method, I thought of a method that may achieve the effect of flower planting."

When Sun Simiao heard this, he couldn't help but let his eyebrows go up and spread his hands and said, "Speak for the Taoist priest."

Du He said: "My method is called the vaccination method, which is very similar to your flowering method, but it is not smallpox, but vaccination."

"Vacpox?" Sun Simiao couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Vacpox is a disease in cows, not smallpox."

Du He said: "Maybe vaccination and smallpox are close relatives. Grandmaster, I have heard a story that is related to vaccination and smallpox, which is also the basis for me to come up with the vaccination method."

"What is the story? I hope to hear it carefully."

Du He said: "When I was in Chang'an, I heard an old man tell a story. When the old man was young, he saw many pimples like smallpox around the milk of a cow. He thought it was fun, so he squeezed the pimples through. The next day, he got sick and then there were pimples on his body. People in the village thought he had smallpox, which scared the whole village to panic. However, those who had been exposed to were not infected with smallpox, and the child was fine, and there was a false alarm. Later, two years later, the village really had smallpox. Because of the previous false alarm, the villagers didn't care about it and did not report it to the official in time. In the end, everyone in the village suffered from smallpox, and the whole village died to the point that the child was left. Later, I realized that the old man who told the story was the child that year."

Sun Simiao was a smart man. He immediately heard the point of the story and was a little excited and said, "Can anyone who has suffered from cowpox... will not suffer from smallpox again?"

Du He said: "I think cowpox is safer, at least it won't kill people. You can try it. The probability of cows suffering from cowpox is relatively high. If you send someone to search everywhere, you may find a cow with cowpox. Next, find someone who is willing to try it can verify it."

"There is one person." Sun Simiao said, "There is also a doctor Qiu from Xiaohe Village. After hearing about the Taoist priest's method of planting flowers, he always wanted to try it. When the Taoist priest saw that the prisoner who planted flowers had died, he did not plant it for Dr. Qiu to avoid harming him. Since there is a safer method of vaccinating acne, he might as well let him try it."

Du He reminded: "Don't suck it with your nose like growing flowers. It is best to separate a little flesh on your arms and seep the venom in, just like I stab myself with a hairpin."

"Why is this?" Sun Simiao asked in confusion.

Du He didn't know how to answer, so he said, "You just do what I said, please believe me once."

Seeing that his eyes were full of confidence, Sun Simiao nodded: "Okay, let's do what you said, and I will immediately send someone to find the sick cows with cowpox."

Du He saluted with his hands: "The people of Ci County and even the people of the Tang Dynasty in the future, please give in to the seniors."
