Chapter 54 Treating money and silk like dung
The place was surrounded by people, and a huge crowd formed a circle.
There were crowds of people, and although there were many people watching, no one knew the reason for Li Mengxi's actions except Li Mengxi himself.
At this time, Guan Yu had led his cavalry out in all directions, heading south, east, west, and west to look for doctors in the countryside.
Zhang Fei rode quickly towards the county seat.
Here, before the doctor arrived, Li Mengxi used the only medical knowledge he knew to help the baby lower his body temperature.
Originally, Li Mengxi thought it would be of some use.
However, as the wine kept wiping it over and over again.
Although the time was not long, it was four or five minutes.
There was silence all around, and you could hear the drop of a needle. However, Li Mengxi discovered that not only did the baby's body temperature not drop, but it seemed to be even hotter when touched with his hands.
"Damn, the wine is not good!" Li Mengxi cursed in a low voice.
The alcohol content is limited and has a cooling effect, but for emergencies such as fever, low-alcohol alcohol has limited effect.
Just when Li Mengxi saw that the baby was breathing heavily and huffing and puffing, and he was at a loss what to do, one of the captives watching around him came out.
"Let someone take a look."
Li Mengxi raised his head when he heard the sound. He looked up and saw the person clearly, and was extremely surprised.
On this man's head, he has short, lean hair, which stands out among the crowd of people wearing buns.
Li Mengxi thought that this guy had also traveled through time, and was extremely surprised.
"You... are also... that..."
Li Mengxi stammered and was tongue-tied.
"Someone knows medical skills, let me try it."
The short-haired young man looked down at Li Mengxi, cupped his hands and said.
Li Mengxi was extremely doubtful, so he temporarily suppressed his heart and stepped aside. Li Mengxi stood aside and said, "Please!" Li Mengxi extended his hand to invite.
This person said he knew medical skills.
Li Mengxi looked at this man suspiciously as he leaned over and took the baby from Liu Bei's hand.
Then, put the baby on your left arm and turn the baby over with your right hand, with his back facing upward.
Then, Li Mengxi saw this person constantly grabbing the baby's back with his hands, pinching and pulling the area near the spine from top to bottom. Li Mengxi looked confused.
What is this?
Although he was very confused, this person claimed to be a doctor, so maybe he was more professional than him.
Li Mengxi kept his mouth shut and did not disturb him.
Seeing this man, in addition to constantly grabbing the baby's back, he also pinched the back of the baby's head from time to time. He also curled his fingers and pressed the soles of the baby's feet with his knuckles. The more he looked, the more Li Mengxi felt that this man's movements were organized and seemed really real.
Somewhat capable.
Li Mengxi had nothing to do and was bored, so he secretly clocked this man.
one two three four……
Time passed by, and the baby's back turned red as it was being grabbed.
Five or six minutes later.
Finally, the baby, who had fainted due to high fever and became unresponsive, woke up and started crying.
The godless peasant woman heard her son crying and hurriedly came over to hug her son.
"No one else!" Li Mengxi stopped him, "Let sir watch for a while."
After scratching for a while, maybe it hurt, and the baby cried louder.
The young man who claimed to be a doctor returned the baby to the peasant woman and said, "It's cold at night, so don't let it get cold again. The baby has an acute fever and needs medicine to get rid of the root cause. I can't do anything else."
The young man gave instructions.
After saying that, the man turned around and left.
"Sir, stay! (Sir, stay!)" two voices shouted in unison.
Li Mengxi and Liu Bei spoke in sync.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.
Liu Bei made a secret invitation gesture to Li Mengxi. Li Mengxi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Liu Bei wanted him to communicate with the doctor first.
Li Mengxi nodded. Seeing that the doctor had stopped, Li Mengxi stepped forward and stood still, arching his hands towards the doctor.
"I dare you to let me know that we don't have any doctors in our army. However, if a baby suddenly suffers from an emergency, if no one comes to save it, how can you bear to wait for it to die?"
Sir, you know medical skills. I would like to hire you as a Chinese medical officer in our army, and you will be appointed as the captain of ten men, so that you can be freed from being a prisoner. What do you think, sir?"
Li Mengxi is like this person, extending an olive branch.
The man's face was expressionless and noncommittal.
After a while, the man looked at Li Mengxi and said, "A certain witch doctor has poor medical skills and is not worthy of his responsibilities."
This person seems to want to refuse.
Witch doctor?
Li Mengxi was confused.
At this time, Liu Bei came forward and bowed his hand to the witch doctor, "Even if you are a witch doctor, you still have some use now.
The baby's illness has not recovered yet. Is it okay for Mr. Fan to take care of her for a while?"
Liu Bei requested.
This person gave up his hand and accepted.
"Xi'er, let's go."
Liu Bei wanted to take Li Mengxi away.
"Oh!" Li Mengxi pulled his younger brother and left with Liu Bei.
Liu Bei headed straight for the baggage convoy. It turned out that Liu Bei saw that the baby had no clothes to wrap around him and wanted to find some warm clothes to send to him.
Liu Xuande was a kind-hearted man, and Li Mengxi and Liu Bei got along with each other without much separation.
Precisely because Li Mengxi felt that he could get on well with Liu Bei, the two of them often had no disagreements. This was exactly what made Liu Bei extraordinary.
You must know that Li Mengxi is a modern person, and his three views cannot be exactly the same as those of the ancients.
As a modern person, Li Mengxi saw a sick baby and hurriedly wanted to save the baby. Li Mengxi subconsciously wanted to save a little life. It is normal for modern people to be kind like this.
But as for Liu Xuande, the commander-in-chief of an army was benevolent enough to feed the prisoners and not kill them indiscriminately.
But when Liu Bei saw that the baby was seriously ill, he was just as worried as Li Mengxi and did not abandon the baby just because he was one of the Yellow Turban captives.
Moreover, Liu Bei was more thoughtful than Li Mengxi. When he saw a mother and a baby with no warm clothes, Liu Bei immediately went to look for them. However, Li Mengxi did not expect this.
Perhaps, it is because of the Confucian moral concept that there are old people and old people, young people and young people. This moral code makes Liu Bei, an ancient man deeply influenced by Confucianism, like Li Mengxi, unable to bear to sit back and watch.
Infants died of illness.
On the baggage cart, there was a pile of messy things.
Liu Bei asked Li Mengxi to climb on the car to find it. Li Mengxi was small and it was easy to climb up.
Li Mengxi climbed onto the car like a little monkey.
The younger brother also wanted to climb out of the car, but he was old and stupid. Even though Li Mengxi had flexible hands and feet, he just couldn't climb up.
Liu Bei smiled and looked at it.
The car was littered with everything, including the flag of the Yellow Turban Army, which was stained with dust and blood.
Li Mengxi thought this thing was dirty, but even if the flag was torn off, it could still be used as a swaddle for a baby.
As for the tattered clothes and armor that were seized, Li Mengxi also found them dirty.
After searching for a long time, Li Mengxi didn't like anything.
"Isn't there any cloth or something?" Li Mengxi was confused.
Liu Bei thought, since he can't find tattered clothes, he should look for cloth.
Liu Bei wanted to take Li Mengxi to another baggage truck to find cloth.
The other baggage truck is much neater, with things stacked up in an orderly manner.
Li Mengxi found the cloth immediately.
"This cloth will do." Li Mengxi jumped down from the baggage truck with a piece of cloth in his arms.
Stretching the cloth, Li Mengxi frowned, "Is it a little thin?"
Liu Bei glanced at Li Mengxi with a subtle expression, "It's too thin, just wrap it in two more layers."
Li Mengxi snorted.
Oh my god, what Li Mengxi took was not cloth. This guy didn't know ancient cloth, so he only picked up a good-looking one. What he took was not ordinary cloth, it was silk! Silk!
Li Mengxi looked at the silk as if it were tattered linen. He took the silk over and did not think it was heavy at all. He even thought it was thin.
Li Mengxi regarded wealth and silk as waste. He was so magnanimous at such a young age. When Liu Bei saw this, he was greatly impressed in his heart.
