Chapter 744: Sickness comes like a mountain

Li Mengxi only thought it was a minor cold. He thought he would be fine after drinking some medicine and having a good sleep.

I don't know when Xiao Bian came. Xiao Bian ran into the house and wanted to wake Li Mengxi up to play together. Li Mengxi was woken up. He got up tiredly. When he woke up, he felt his head was dizzy and his body was obviously cold.

But it's like being in hot water, it's hot from the inside out.

"Brother, why are you still sleepy? Do you want to go out to play with me?" Xiao Bian came over and grabbed Li Mengxi's hand, trying to pull Li Mengxi out.

Li Mengxi stood up. He felt dizzy and the ground shook with every step he took.

Li Mengxi frowned as he had never been in such a bad state.

"Xiao Bian," he broke away from Xiao Bian's hand and said seriously to Xiao Bian, "brother is sick. Stay away from me. Don't let me infect you."

Xiao Zhuan opened his big eyes and looked at Li Mengxi in confusion, "What?"

Li Mengxi opened his mouth to explain, but his condition was too bad and he was not in the mood.

He could only persuade Xiao Brick to go out and play by himself, and told him not to come back for two days.

Xiao Zhuan didn't understand. He looked at the closed door and stood outside the door for a long time. Then he called into the room, "Brother, are you ready to play with me?"

"Well, wait a minute." Li Mengxi returned inside.

Hearing the response from inside the house, Xiao Bian left obediently.

Li Mengxi thought it was because the medicine took effect too slowly, and thought it might be better if he slept again.

As a result, after sleeping until night, he woke up again with acid reflux in his stomach. Unable to bear it, Li Mengxi opened the door and rushed outside, vomiting all over the place.

There are always guards outside Li Mengxi's house. The guards are sent by Liu Bei to prevent accidents.

Seeing that Li Mengxi was really embarrassed after vomiting, the guard came over and asked with concern.

Li Mengxi raised his head and was about to speak, but his stomach churned again and he couldn't help but vomited again.

After a while, after hearing the news, Guan Yu rushed over in a hurry. Seeing that Li Mengxi was in really bad condition, Guan Yu quickly called someone to call the military doctor.

——

In the city lord's palace, military doctor Tian Bu once again checked Li Mengxi's pulse for diagnosis and treatment. Guan Yu stared at him seriously, and Tian Bu's pressure doubled.

And even if Guan Yu didn't keep an eye on him, Tian Bu had to do his best to take care of the disease.

After another pulse measurement, Li Mengxi asked Li Mengxi to open his mouth, looked at the coating on his tongue, and asked about his condition in detail. After asking, Tian Bu hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Military advisor, what do you think of Bupleurum Guizhi Decoction?"

Li Mengxi was stunned by the question, "...Oh! Do you think it's useful?"

Tian Bu hesitated, "Maybe it will be useful..."

On the side, Guan Yu looked confused. It was Li Mengxi who got sick and Tian Bu who treated the doctor. As a result, Tian Bu asked if the medicine could be used. This made Guan Yu almost unable to help but want to ask Tian Bu how to be a military doctor.

Yes, you have to ask someone to prescribe medicine.

Bupleurum Guizhi Decoction was not a prescription from the Han Dynasty. Li Mengxi told Tian Bu about it at that time. Tian Bu then mixed other medicines based on the two main ingredients of Bupleurum Guizhi and completed it into a prescription.

Tian Bu was cautious in using the medicine. He didn't use this prescription much on weekdays and was not completely sure of its effect. That's why Tian Bu asked Li Mengxi if he could use it.

Li Mengxi also hesitated. In his impression, Bupleurum may be useful in treating fever.

So, he said to Tian Bu, "Just try this."

Tian Bu hesitated again, "...the medicine is gone."

Li Mengxi wanted to curse, but what else could he say after the medicine was gone?

The reason why the medicine was used up and there was nothing left was related to Li Mengxi.

At the earliest, as early as in Zhuozhou, when Tian Bu was a new soldier, as the only military doctor at that time, Tian Bu did not dare to use medicine for fear of being scolded for using too much, so he went to ask for instructions after using a little medicine. Li Mengxi was annoyed by the question.

He directly explained that medicine will be used in the future, regardless of superiority or inferiority, who has a higher official position and who has a lower official position, and who is a soldier or a civilian. The medicine will be given to whoever is sick.

Because of Li Mengxi's words, Tian Bu perfectly implemented the rules of medical practice without distinction. All medicinal materials in the army, no matter scarce or not, precious or not, as long as someone went to see a doctor, they would grab even the rarest medicines.

The result is that now there is no more Guizhi and no more Bupleurum.

Things were coming to an end, and there was an acute shortage of rare medicinal materials. Tian Bu looked at the seriously ill military advisor and secretly decided in his heart that no matter what, he must always have a supply of various medicinal materials in the future, and he could not just use all of them.

When Tian Bu left, he left behind a larger package of medicine and gave the medicine to Li Mengxi. Tian Bu told him to drink it after finishing it and see if it feels better in the morning.

I have to make medicine again.

Guan Yu saw Li Mengxi's pale face and was extremely worried. Li Mengxi wanted to make the medicine himself, so Guan Yu rushed over to help.

Li Mengxi raised his hand and pointed feebly at the large jar placed in the room. Li Mengxi leaned on the short table and said feebly, "Put it in vinegar."

Guan Yu was a little confused. Li Mengxi often behaved strangely. Guan Yu was used to it, so he did as he was told.

Next to the medicine pot, Guan Yu had firewood piled up at his feet and a fan in his hand, guarding the fire. He kept fanning himself with the fan in his hand, just to make the fire burn louder and make the medicine boil faster.

For a long time, the medicine boiled and boiled. Guan Yu couldn't help but look up and saw that Gudu's dried medicine in the medicine jar had not been boiled. Guan Yu was also surprised.

After a long time, many roots of firewood had been filled in. It had been a long time, and Guan Yu couldn't wait any longer. "Xi'er," he called back.

Looking back, I saw that Li Mengxi had fallen asleep lying on the low table at some point.

He deliberately called Li Mengxi to drink medicine. When he saw that the medicine was still hot, he had to wait even if he called him. So Guan Yu poured the medicine jar into a bowl and took it out. Then he held the hot medicine bowl and blew on it carefully.

I want the medicine to cool down quickly.

——

When Li Mengxi was gently called by Guan Yu, he got up in confusion, opened his eyes, and saw a bowl of medicine delivered to him.

"Here, drink the medicine quickly." Guan Yu said softly.

After being confused for a while, Li Mengxi came to his senses and accidentally fell asleep.

Li Mengxi picked up the bowl and was about to drink the medicine. At this moment, Li Mengxi suddenly remembered something. It was wrong. Drinking the medicine on an empty stomach would hurt the stomach. When he got up, he had already vomited. If he took the medicine on an empty stomach again, he would be even more intolerable.

Considering this, Li Mengxi got up and went to find some steamed buns, broke off a small piece of steamed buns, ate a little to fill his stomach, and then drank the bowl of warm medicinal soup in one go with a frown.

After wiping his mouth, Li Mengxi stood up and said to Guan Yu, "General Guan, my brother has been sleeping next to you for the past two days. I have a cold and I'm afraid I will infect him."

Guan Yu nodded in agreement.

Later in the night, Xiao Bian came back from outside. Guan Yu called Xiao Bian to him with a smile and told Xiao Bian that he could not go back to sleep with his brother.

"How about sleeping next to me?" Guan Yu held Xiao Bian in his arms and asked with a smile.

Xiao Bian thought for a while and nodded.

Guan Yu thought it would be easy to take care of children, but Xiao Bian was not an ordinary child.

At night, Xiao Bian couldn't sleep well, so he asked Guan Yu to tell him stories, such as the story of the pony crossing the river, the story of the fox eating grapes, and the story of the three little pigs.

What are these, Guan Yu has never heard of them.

Xiao Zhuan insisted on listening to the story, so Guan Yu started to tell it. Guan Yu talked about "Spring and Autumn" and "Historical Records". He talked about Lin Xiangru, a scholar who had no power to tie a chicken and looked at the monarchs and ministers of Qin as three-year-old children. He also talked about Lian Po and Lin Xiangru.

The story of the generals being in harmony; it also tells the story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, the story of the assassination of Qing Ji, the heroism of the general, and the loyalty of the husband.

Guan Yu was talking with his heart racing. He suddenly stopped, found that there was no sound, and shouted softly.

In the darkness, Xiao Bian's voice came, "I'm dozing off."
