Chapter 1608: Chapter 1608: Plans Made in Advance
Faced with the choice between revealing her identity and choosing self-preservation while holding onto her disguise, Song Ci chose the former. It wasn’t that she wanted to be a saint saving the world, but she hoped to leave something behind before she departed, as if accumulating merit for herself.
As for whether it can succeed, it really depends on how much Lin Qing and these doctors can research, after all, experiments are needed, and it’s still uncertain if anyone would be willing to be the test subject.
Of course, the reason she dared to talk about the cowpox was also because the person was Lin Qing, who often took the fall for her. If it were someone else, she wouldn’t dare to expose it.
Because she believed that Lin Qing would not betray her, and Lin Qing was a genuinely kind-hearted doctor. If Lin Qing truly made accomplishments based on Song Ci’s hints, it would be a great blessing for humanity.
Many people have died from smallpox, especially children, even those who survive often end up disabled!
"Don’t tell anyone else these things," Lin Qing said, meaningfully.
It was too unbelievable; this was not the kind of mind an old farming lady should have.
Lin Qing thought of the various things Song Ci had casually mentioned before and was very curious about how she knew, or who she was.
At that moment, Lin Qing felt a sense of reverence.
Song Ci blinked and said, "What did I say? I might be having a senior moment and can’t remember!"
Lin Qing: "..."
She chatted with Song Ci for a while, and coincidentally, Dan came to look for Song Ci to play. Lin Qing then got up to leave, planning to visit some cattle farms.
Song Ci picked up Dan, played with him for a while, then took out a thread-bound booklet. It was her ’diary,’ in which she never underestimated everyone.
She dismissed everyone except Dan, picked up a charcoal pencil, and wrote today’s events in the diary while telling stories to Dan.
What story did she tell? Naturally, it was about smallpox and cowpox.
"... People, we can get smallpox, right? Actually, animals are the same, for example, cows can get a similar pox. But cows don’t easily die from it, and even a person who catches this pox from cows won’t die and won’t get smallpox, now why is that? A very smart alien, blond-haired and blue-eyed, who loved thinking, discovered this, and so..."
Song Ci, with some additions and omissions, narrated the origins of the cowpox vaccine as a small medical story to the little boy beside her, regardless of whether he understood it or not.
Dan listened with great interest and asked questions stumblingly, and Song Ci answered them one by one, as much as she could.
When she finished writing the diary, she closed it and held Dan in her arms, gently patting his hand, saying, "Dan, if you’re going to be a doctor, you must have the heart to treat and save lives, be willing to study, and dare to boldly experiment. For small experiments, use small animals, even so, you must treat your experimental animal as a human, because it’s also a life. You must think, this is a person, if you can’t save him, he’ll be gone."
Dan seemed to understand a little.
Nanny stood outside, listening to the murmuring inside, and sighed.
The old lady had taken Master Buhui’s words to heart. Recently, the stories she told Dan were all about healing and saving lives, and once she even mentioned a doctor buying off a guard in the mortuary to do research. It got Dan so excited that he yelled.
"You’re planning everything ahead for everyone!" Nanny murmured with a light sigh, her expression a bit sorrowful, hoping time would slow down a little.
