Chapter 436 The Ice House is Melting
Chapter 436 The Ice House is Melting
During the time that Huo Yisheng was away, although everyone lived comfortably and no longer feared the possibility of contracting the virus, they were still worried about the drug trials going on over there.
But the outcome is still uncertain, and talking about it will only add to worries and troubles, so no one says anything.
Fortunately, Huo Yisheng brought back some very good news.
The special medicine developed by Zong Hui is indeed very effective.
As soon as Huo Yisheng came back, he called a meeting with Ye Shu, Mr. Huang, Lao Ren, Political Commissar Lin and others.
He took out detailed data records:
"We had ten people participate in the drug trial for the first time. Two of them had their fevers completely subsided after taking the medicine for the first time and never came back again. The other eight had their fevers come back twice."
"The second group of people who tried the drug had 20 people. Three of them also had their fevers go away after taking the medicine once. Another 10 had their fevers relapse once, and the remaining 7 had their fevers relapse twice."
Everyone was very excited: "So, this medicine really works!"
"Great, great! From now on, we don't have to be afraid of these damn infectious diseases anymore! To hell with viruses and infectious diseases!"
Ye Shu and Mr. Huang were calm and stable. They expected the special medicine to be effective.
They were more worried about whether the medicine was poisonous. Now it seems that at least it is not highly toxic, and the people who tried the medicine did not die immediately.
Huang Lao asked, "Did these thirty people experience any side effects?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the cadres and leaders who were originally quite excited also calmed down. Yes, neither Mr. Huang nor Ye Shu dared to use the medicine directly. Maybe there was something wrong with it?
From the beginning of the meeting, Ye Shu saw the solemnity in Huo Yisheng's eyes, so she was mentally prepared.
Sure enough, Huo Yisheng said, "Yes."
"The five people whose fevers subsided first all experienced varying degrees of pain in their bodies, and one of them had severe diarrhea."
"In addition, people who had a fever once also had a certain degree of pain response, and those who had a fever twice had the least adverse pain reaction."
Huang Lao frowned and concluded, "So, people who are sensitive to the effects of this drug are best at resisting the virus, but it can also bring about adverse side effects."
Conversely, people who are less sensitive to the effects of the drug will experience fewer side effects.
Huo Yisheng: "From the overall perspective of the drug trial, this special medicine is indeed more effective than traditional Chinese medicine. After the fevers of all 38 people subsided, the body temperatures of the other patients who took traditional Chinese medicine were still above degrees Celsius."
Ye Shu flipped through his notebook and said, "The camp uses traditional Chinese medicine, and the fastest cure is five days."
Most are still recovering slowly.
Among all the patients, big and small, living in Ye Shu's house, only Mrs. Jin, Yaya Han Cheng and a few others have fully recovered so far.
Generally speaking, children have stronger resilience than adults.
This may be related to the fact that their metabolism is more active than that of adults.
After comparing the data, Huang finally confirmed: "This special medicine can be used. As for its adverse side effects, we can only ask the organization to arrange experts to improve it."
After receiving Huang Lao's confirmation, Huo Yisheng said, "Okay, I will report the situation here to the higher-ups immediately."
And arrange for someone to hand over this special medicine, the extraction method and the ratio.
Although it was confirmed that Zong Hui's special medicine was effective, the control over Zong Hui was not relaxed.
Huo Yisheng reported the situation to his superiors and arranged for someone to go to Batangao to inquire about her situation.
The news we got back was very shocking. It turned out that Zong Hui had always presented herself as a crazy woman here.
She has been here for more than ten years, during which time she used a machete to kill the man who raped her, as well as the man who saw her being violated and not only did not rescue her, but even wanted to get a share of the spoils.
On the one hand, the people of Batangao were frightened by her, but on the other hand, there is a saying that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, saying that if a village guardian appears, he cannot be killed.
There hadn't been a villager in Batang'ao for over a hundred years, and now a crazy woman had finally arrived. Even though she was from outside, they felt it was God's arrangement.
So even though she killed someone, no one punished her, let alone called the police.
The village chief also stepped in and persuaded the families of the two men to stop seeking revenge on Zong Hui.
Therefore, Zong Hui had a hard time in Batangao. Because of her madness and murder, she was often beaten and bullied. Although her life was not in danger, she always had injuries of varying sizes on her body.
The two men came to Batangao just half a year ago.
They did not enter the village or settle down, and often appeared and disappeared mysteriously. Batangao thought they were hunters in the mountains and did not pay much attention to them.
In this day and age, although you need a letter of introduction to go anywhere, remote mountain villages like this are mostly populated by native inhabitants. They don't have letters of introduction and don't have much contact with the outside world, so everyone is used to it.
Political Commissar Lin: "Take Batangao for example. At least half the people here are not registered."
If the population is not counted, there will be no corresponding issues such as production tasks.
This place is really too remote, with a sparse population. Because there are very few people registering and the organization is overcoming difficulties, they have never had the time to clean up this place.
Huo Yisheng glanced at him and asked, "What do you mean?"
Political Commissar Lin certainly wanted to bring order to these remote and uncivilized villages: "Especially, the population should be accurately counted!"
Huo Yisheng didn't say whether it was okay or not, he just asked, "And then?"
Political Commissar Lin was stunned.
Huo Yisheng tapped his fingers on the table twice before saying, "Don't forget our mission here. It's not our turn to take care of Batangao's internal affairs."
Before coming, no one knew what the secret mission was.
But after arriving here, Huo Yisheng had already told the truth to people like Political Commissar Lin and Lao Ren.
So when he was reminded by this, Political Commissar Lin also reacted.
Indeed, it is not appropriate for them to interfere in other matters. They just need to make sure that there is no enemy invasion here.
As for local internal affairs, they can only be resolved by the organization when it has time.
An infectious disease maliciously spread by enemy spies was eventually strangled in a camp in the wilderness and did not spread widely in the country.
They were victorious, but they also lost two fighters.
and a pregnant woman's fetus that is less than three months old.
The other two pregnant women were older and their babies were strong. In addition, Mr. Huang specially prepared the dosage of medicine for them. Although the whole course of the disease was a little more difficult than for others, they were finally able to escape danger.
Time flies and it is the end of March.
Everyone clearly felt the temperature rising, and when they woke up, half of the snow outside had melted.
Guaiguai was playing ball, holding the small racket in her little hands, and pulling the second and third children to play with her, hitting the ball with all her heart.
Suddenly, she pouted and cried out in grievance: "Mom, Little White Ball is crying!"
Ye Shu was confused and walked over to take a look. He immediately thought to himself, "The ice house is melting!"
