Chapter 80: School Enrollment Physical
Lin Xuan turned around and picked up the newly bought pink spine-protecting backpack.
He pulled open the outermost zipper.
"Now, let's put the books in."
Xiao Sizi picked up the textbooks in front of her.
Sorted by size and thickness, she stuffed them one by one into the compartments of the backpack.
Then, the sharpened pencils, eraser, and ruler went into the pencil case, and the whole thing was stuffed into the small mesh pouch on the side.
The backpack stood plump and bulging in the corner of the sofa.
"Go wash your face and brush your teeth, get ready for bed."
Lin Xuan stood up and clapped his hands.
Xiao Sizi climbed up from the carpet.
She slipped on her slippers and went pattering off toward the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of splashing water came from the bathroom.
Lin Xuan bent down and swept the leftover plastic wrap scraps and bits of paper from the coffee table into the trash can.
He glanced at the pink backpack standing beside the sofa.
Then turned his head to look at the light spilling out from the bathroom.
The corner of his mouth curved into a very faint arc.
Tomorrow.
Would be the first day of a new life.
The next day.
Changning District Community Health Service Center.
The air was thick with the smell of Lysol.
The blue plastic rows of chairs on either side of the corridor were filled with parents who had brought their children in for the kindergarten/school enrollment physical.
The sound of children's crying rose and fell all around.
Lin Xuan, holding the newly issued household register and registration slip, pushed open the door to the pediatric clinic.
Xiao Sizi followed behind him.
Wearing a newly bought hooded sweatshirt, her gaze swept past the medical staff in white coats and blue surgical masks.
In the Great Tang, when the Imperial Physician conducted a consultation, he emphasized looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse, with agarwood burning in the room.
This clinic had only glaring incandescent lamps and cold metal instruments.
"Sit here." Lin Xuan pulled out the round stool in front of the desk.
Xiao Sizi climbed onto the round stool and sat up straight.
Across from her was an old specialist with grey hair.
He pushed up his reading glasses and opened the blank physical examination form Lin Xuan had handed over.
The old doctor verified the information, picked up the Stethoscope hanging around his neck, and said, "Unzip your jacket, take a deep breath."
The cold metal Zhengtou of the stethoscope pressed against Xiao Sizi's chest.
Xiao Sizi's body stiffened for a moment, and she glanced at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan gave her a nod.
She relaxed, and took a deep breath in, then out.
With his eyes closed, the old doctor moved the Zhengtou to several positions on her chest and back.
"Heart sounds pure, lung breath sounds clear."
The old doctor took off the Stethoscope, picked up a pen, and ticked the boxes on the form.
"The medical records note acute asthma, but at present it looks well controlled; no obvious spasmodic wheeze in the airways."
Lin Xuan zipped up Xiao Sizi's jacket.
The old doctor tapped a few times on the Personal Computer's Keyboard and pulled up the system backend.
His brow furrowed.
"Why is this child's Vaccine immunization record empty?"
The old doctor looked up at Lin Xuan, his tone stern, "Not a single shot of the Category A vaccines mandated by the state? How are you parents doing your job?"
Lin Xuan's expression remained unchanged as he trotted out the explanation he had long prepared: "She has been living with elderly relatives in a remote mountain area, and no health records were ever established."
"Bringing her back to the city for school this time, we plan to catch up on all her vaccinations."
The old doctor sighed and shook his head.
He tore off a prescription slip and quickly wrote a few lines.
"Enrollment requires a vaccination certificate; at her age, she's missed too many basic vaccines."
"Today we'll catch up on the DPT Vaccine and the MMR Vaccine first."
"The rest, follow the schedule I've laid out, come back every month for two more shots."
The old doctor handed the slip to Lin Xuan: "Go queue up on the second floor at the immunization clinic."
……
Second floor.
Immunization room.
Latest chapter " " plot is intense! Come read it on Kele Novels!
The children's wailing was deafening.
Several parents were holding down their wildly kicking children, while the nurse, deft of hand, drove the needle into their arms.
Xiao Sizi stood at the door, rooted to the spot as she stared at the long metal needle tube.
Great Tang had no such sharp glass tubes.
The act of piercing the skin with metal and injecting unknown liquid stirred humanity's most primal fear of pain.
Lin Xuan led her inside.
He handed the form to the nurse behind the counter.
"Lin Mingda, one shot in each arm."
"Family members, roll up the child's sleeve and hold the arm still—don't let her move."
The nurse tore open two sterile packages of disposable syringes.
Lin Xuan pulled over a chair and had Xiao Sizi sit down.
He knelt down, rolled up the sleeve of her hoodie, revealing her slender arm.
"Are you afraid?" Lin Xuan asked.
Xiao Sizi pressed her lips tightly shut.
She stared at the nurse's syringe, air bubbles being expelled. Nodded.
Lin Xuan did not lie to her, as other parents did, saying "it won't hurt at all."
"It will hurt—like a hard ant bite—but you can't pull away."
"If you move, the needle might go wrong, and then it'll hurt more."
Lin Xuan's palm gripped her upper arm firmly.
The nurse picked up a cotton swab soaked in iodine and rubbed it in circles over Xiao Sizi's deltoid muscle.
The yellow-brown liquid brought a cool sensation.
"In Great Tang, what do you call that terrible illness with red rashes and unrelenting fever?"
Lin Xuan suddenly changed the subject.
Xiao Sizi's thoughts were pulled away.
She recalled the word that made palace officials turn pale.
"Smallpox."
Xiao Sizi's voice trembled, "Of those who catch it, nine out of ten die."
That was the ancient god of death, Smallpox.
"This syringe holds the seed of Smallpox," Lin Xuan said, pointing to the nurse's syringe.
Xiao Sizi's eyes flew wide open.
Her body instinctively shrank back.
Lin Xuan's hand clamped her arm like an iron vice.
"Don't move. Listen to me."
"These seeds are crippled."
"People of our time stripped away the poison of these diseases, leaving only an empty shell."
"We call it Vaccine."
The nurse understood Lin Xuan's meaning.
She seized the muscle with her left hand and, with her right, plunged the needle straight into the skin.
The needle tip pierced the epidermis.
Xiao Sizi sucked in a sharp breath, her brow furrowing into a deep crease.
She bit her lower lip.
She did not cry or struggle.
The clear liquid was pushed into the muscle tissue.
"As these crippled poisons enter your body, your Qi and blood guards will swarm them and kill them."
"At the same time, the guards will memorize the appearance of this poison."
Lin Xuan took the dry cotton swab the nurse handed him and pressed it over the needle puncture.
"Later, even if true Smallpox comes for you."
"Your body's guards will recognize it at a glance and annihilate it instantly."
Lin Xuan moved to the other side, rolled up Xiao Sizi's right sleeve, and had the nurse give the second shot.
"After these shots, the plagues that could wipe out cities in Great Tang—Smallpox, Poliomyelitis—won't touch a single hair on you."
"In our time, we've used this method to erase Smallpox entirely from the earth."
"Not a single case."
Both shots were done.
Cotton swabs pressed against each of Xiao Sizi's arms.
She released her lower lip, now marked with white teeth impressions; the fear in her eyes vanished.
The demonic plague that Great Tang could not stop—here, it only required enduring the bite of an ant.
She was immersed in Chapter 80 of "Cola Novel," unable to tear herself away.
That was the ancient god of death, Smallpox.
"This syringe holds the seed of Smallpox," Lin Xuan said, pointing to the nurse's syringe.
Xiao Sizi's eyes flew wide open.
Her body instinctively shrank back.
Lin Xuan's hand clamped her arm like an iron vice.
"Don't move, listen to me finish."
"These seeds are crippled."
"People of our era stripped away the toxicity of those deadly diseases, leaving only an empty shell."
"We call it Vaccine."
The nurse understood Lin Xuan's meaning.
Seizing the opportunity, she pinched the muscle with her left hand and, with her right, plunged the needle vertically into the skin.
The needle tip pierced the epidermis.
Xiao Sizi drew a sharp breath, her brow furrowing into a deep "川" shape.
She bit her lower lip.
She did not cry, nor did she struggle.
The transparent medicinal fluid was pushed into the muscle tissue.
"When these crippled toxins enter your body, your qi and blood defenders will swarm them and kill them."
"At the same time, the defenders will memorize the appearance of this toxin."
Lin Xuan pulled out a dry cotton swab handed to him by the nurse and pressed it onto the needle puncture.
"In the future, even if the true Smallpox comes for you,"
"your body's defenders will recognize it at a glance and annihilate it instantly."
Lin Xuan moved to the other side, rolled up Xiao Sizi's right sleeve, and had the nurse administer the second injection.
"After these injections, even the deadly plagues of Tang that could wipe out cities—whether Smallpox or Poliomyelitis—won't touch a single hair on you."
"In our era, we used this method to erase Smallpox entirely from the face of the earth."
"Not a single case remains."
Both injections were done.
On each of Xiao Sizi's arms rested a cotton swab.
She released her lower lip, now marked with a white imprint, and the fear in her eyes vanished completely.
The divine plague that Tang could not stop here requires only the pain of an ant bite.
Ranked among the top in the best historical novel vote by readers of Kole Novel: "The Fragile Xiao Sizi Knocks, I Become the God of Ten Thousand Dynasties!"
That was the ancient god of death: Smallpox.
"This needle contains the seeds of Smallpox," Lin Xuan said, pointing to the syringe in the nurse's hand.
Xiao Sizi's eyes widened in shock.
Her body instinctively recoiled backward.
Lin Xuan's hand clamped down like an iron vice, holding her arm firmly in place.
"Don't move, listen to me finish."
"These seeds are crippled."
"People of our era stripped away the toxicity of those deadly diseases, leaving only an empty shell."
"We call it Vaccine."
The nurse understood Lin Xuan's meaning.
Seizing the opportunity, she pinched the muscle with her left hand and, with her right, plunged the needle vertically into the skin.

On each of Xiao Sizi's arms rested a cotton swab.
She released her lower lip, now marked with a white imprint, and the fear in her eyes vanished completely.
The divine plague that Tang could not stop here requires only the pain of an ant bite.
Three hundred milliliters of Iron Powder fans: the latest chapter of "The Fragile Xiao Sizi Knocks, I Become the God of Ten Thousand Dynasties" has been released!
"Smallpox."
Xiao Sizi's voice trembled slightly. "Of those who catch it, nine out of ten die."
"The Imperial Physician will seal off their homes and burn all their clothing."
That was the ancient god of death: Smallpox.
"This needle contains the seeds of Smallpox," Lin Xuan said, pointing to the syringe in the nurse's hand.
Xiao Sizi's eyes widened suddenly.
Her body instinctively shrank backward.
Lin Xuan's palm was like an iron clamp, firmly holding her arm.
"Don't move, listen to me finish."
"These seeds are crippled."
"People of our era have stripped the toxicity from those vicious diseases, leaving only an empty shell."
"We call it a Vaccine."
The nurse understood Lin Xuan's meaning.
Seizing the moment, she pinched the muscle with her left hand, held the needle with her right, and pierced the skin vertically.
The needle tip broke through the epidermis.
Xiao Sizi's brows drew together as she sucked in a sharp breath. A '川' character formed between her eyebrows.
She bit her lower lip.
She did not cry, nor did she struggle.
The transparent liquid was pushed into the muscle tissue.
"When these crippled poisons enter your body, the Qi and Blood Guards within you will surround them and kill them."
"At the same time, the Guards will remember the appearance of this poison."
Lin Xuan took the dry cotton swab handed by the nurse and pressed it onto the puncture wound left by the removed needle.
"In the future, even if the real Smallpox comes for you."
"The Guards in your body will recognize it at first glance and annihilate it instantly."
Lin Xuan moved to the other side, rolled up Xiao Sizi's right sleeve, and let the nurse administer the second injection.
"After these injections, no vicious disease capable of destroying a city in Great Tang, whether Smallpox or Poliomyelitis, will touch a single hair on your body."
"In our era, using this method, we have completely eradicated smallpox from the earth."
"Not a single case."
The two injections were finished.
Xiao Sizi held a cotton swab on each of her two arms.
She released her lower lip, which bore white marks from her bite, and the fear in her eyes vanished completely.
The ghostly diseases that Great Tang could not prevent, here, only require enduring the pain of an ant bite.
That is the ancient Death God, smallpox.
"This needle contains the seeds of Smallpox." Lin Xuan pointed to the Zhushiqi in the nurse's hand.
Xiao Sizi's eyes widened suddenly.
Her body instinctively shrank backward.
Lin Xuan's palm was like an iron clamp, firmly holding her arm.
"Don't move, listen to me finish."
"These seeds are crippled."
"People of our era have stripped the toxicity from those vicious diseases, leaving only an empty shell."

The ghostly diseases that Great Tang could not prevent, here, only require enduring the pain of an ant bite.
Remember this name: Kele Novel. Remember this domain:. Good books, no getting lost.
"Smallpox."
Xiao Sizi's voice trembled slightly, "Of those infected, nine out of ten will die."
"The Imperial Physician will seal the houses they inhabit, and burn all their clothes with fire."
That was the ancient reaper: Smallpox.
"What's inside this needle is the seed of Smallpox." Lin Xuan pointed at the Zhushiqi in the nurse's hand.
Xiao Sizi's eyes suddenly widened.
Her body instinctively shrank backward.
Lin Xuan's palm, like an iron clamp, firmly held her arm.

"In the future, even if the real Smallpox comes for you."
"The Guards in your body will recognize it at first glance and annihilate it instantly."
Lin Xuan moved to the other side, rolled up Xiao Sizi's right sleeve, and let the nurse administer the second injection.
