Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 901: Eight hundred ninety-nine, smallpox

Little sister pouted her lips. She was not like those other children; she would not cry.

The Guard’s Wife saw little sister’s blinking bright eyes, looking obediently at her, and felt even more affection, joking with her for a bit before looking towards Luo Shu and saying: "Sister-in-law Lu, you must be careful when you take the children out for a walk these days. The child from Centurion Fang’s Household has contracted smallpox, and it’s contagious."

"Isn’t he isolated?" Luo Shu asked, surprised.

So far, there is no confirmed effective treatment for smallpox. Patients infected with smallpox must be strictly isolated until they recover, and the isolation period must not be less than 40 days from the onset of the disease. Their clothing, utensils, respiratory secretions, and vesicular exudates need to be strictly disinfected, and people who have come into contact with the patient should be vaccinated immediately.

"He has been isolated. The child is just over two years old, and he looks very pitiable." The Guard’s Wife shook her head and sighed, suddenly remembering Luo Shu was skilled in medicine, she asked: "Sister-in-law Lu, aren’t you skilled in medicine? Could you cure that child?"

"I need to see the patient to know," Luo Shu said. Now, she could even revive the dead; naturally, smallpox would not be too difficult for her.

"Why don’t we go and have a look?" the Guard’s Wife suggested. They were all mothers, and if it were their children who were infected with smallpox, wouldn’t they be anxious to death? If Sister-in-law Lu could cure it, they, as Guard’s Wives, wouldn’t need to be on tenterhooks daily, worrying about their children getting infected.

Luo Shu glanced at her own children and said to the Guard’s Wife: "Wait a moment for me, I’ll first send the children back."

"Right, the hospital is not a good place for children. Their bodies are weak, and they can easily get infected," said the Guard’s Wife, bending down to put little sister back into the stroller.

"Speaking of which, I’ve never seen this kind of stroller before. It looks very unusual. Where did you buy it?" The Guard’s Wife, looking intrigued, examined the double baby stroller in front of her. Most of the strollers nowadays are made of wood, and even the wheels are wooden, squeaking loudly when pushed. You can hear the noise from far away, unlike this stroller, where the wheels were like car tires, making no noise at all.

"It’s a gift from a friend; I’ll go and take the children home first," Luo Shu said with a smile to the Guard’s Wife, and pushed the children home.

"Then I’ll wait for you here!" the Guard’s Wife called out to Luo Shu’s retreating figure, watching her leave.

"Sister-in-law He, who are you waiting for? I heard you shouting from afar," two Guard’s Wives came over and asked.

"I’m waiting for Sister-in-law Lu. The child at Centurion Fang’s Household has contracted smallpox, right? I’m taking Sister-in-law Lu to see if she can cure him. If she can cure him, then we won’t have to worry about our own children getting infected," Sister-in-law He said.

"That smallpox is not just any illness; I heard it has killed many people, Sister-in-law Lu probably can’t cure it."

"That’s not necessarily true. I heard Sister-in-law Lu’s medical skills are superb, even the doctors in the hospital admire her."

"It would be great if she could cure it. These past few days I haven’t allowed my children to come out to play," one said.

The three were chatting when they saw Luo Shu coming towards them.

"Sister-in-law Lu, you’re quick, are your two children okay at home?" Aunt Mei asked. Sister-in-law Lu’s household only had her to care for the children, and those two children were still so young; could they really be okay alone at home? But the hospital, with its many germs, really wasn’t suitable to bring children.

Luo Shu smiled and shook her head, "Let’s go." She naturally was carrying her children with her; even though the children’s Cultivation was already at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Late-Stage, she could not feel at ease leaving them alone at home.

The four arrived at the hospital, and before they reached the sickroom, they already heard a burst of crying.

"What’s going on? Could it be that something happened to the child?"

"Let’s go check it out quickly!"

They hurried to the entrance of the hospital room, only to see a Guard’s Wife crying loudly by the bedside.

Next to her, her husband also had red eyes and a face full of sorrow as he silently watched the child on the bed.

Two doctors kept sighing. They had tried their best, but the child was too young, had weak resistance, and the illness was discovered too late.

Smallpox was fierce and progressed rapidly, especially in children with no immunity. The mortality rate within 15-20 days of infection could reach up to 30%, with many symptoms such as sepsis, osteomyelitis, encephalitis, meningitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, otitis media, and laryngitis... These were the major causes of death from smallpox.

"Doctor, how is the child now?" Sister-in-law He stood at the doorway and asked the doctors inside. She dared not enter, fearing contagion.

The doctor turned his head, saw Luo Shu who had entered the room, paused for a moment, then exclaimed with joy: "Divine Doctor Luo! You are back!" When they had first received this child, they immediately looked for Luo Shu, but neither Luo Shu nor Lu Hanmo were in the Guard’s Members Courtyard.

Luo Shu slightly nodded her head, walked to the bedside, "Let me take a look." She had already scanned the child’s condition with her Divine Sense when she first heard the crying. Now, the child barely had a breath left; any further delay would mean his end.

The child’s mother, hearing this, looked at Luo Shu pleadingly: "Sister-in-law Lu... please save my child... they all say your medical skills are great... you must be able to save him..."

"I’ll do my best." Luo Shu reached out to pick up the child’s hand, placing her fingers on his wrist while channeling a strand of Spiritual Power into his body.

"Thank you... thank you..." The Guard’s Wife looked gratefully at Luo Shu. She was hopeful for a miracle.

The child’s father also stood up, walked over to the bedside, watching Luo Shu treat his child. He hoped she could save his child this time too.

Luo Shu withdrew her hand, looked at the two doctors, "Bring me a set of Silver Needle."

"Okay!" One doctor responded and quickly ran out.

Soon, he hurried back in and handed a set of Silver Needle to Luo Shu.

"Could everyone please step out for a moment?" Luo Shu said as she took the needles.

"Sister-in-law Lu, can I stay here?" The child’s mother looked at Luo Shu pleadingly. She was terrified that she might not see her child for the last time.

The child’s father stepped forward, helped her up, and said, "Let’s go outside. Let sister-in-law handle it here." Even if the child really couldn’t be saved, he wouldn’t blame Luo Shu. He knew she had already done her best. She was human, not a deity; it was not possible to cure every disease. Besides, they were now well aware of the child’s condition.

The two doctors exchanged glances, a hint of disappointment in their eyes. They had hoped to witness Luo Shu’s medical skills, but to their surprise, she asked them to leave.
