Chapter 299 The Problem

…

Li Mu was momentarily stumped by the man's illness, and it was almost like this for him to prescribe.

Li Mu repeatedly turned over the medicine residue, trying to find the problem. After a while, he still had no clue, so he had to give up and start with the medicine.

"I will give him acupuncture first to remove the yang poison, and then continue to cook the medicine according to this recipe."

Li Mu planned to use a combination of acupuncture, moxibustion, decoction and medicine. If this failed to improve his condition, then the problem would be troublesome.

Li Mu borrowed scissors from the woman and cut open the man's clothes, then spread out all the needle bags. The silver needles were arranged in order from small to large and Li Mu took them out one by one and stuck them everywhere on the man's body.

Um…

Soon the man's body was covered with densely packed silver needles, which he used to twist and flick, one needle in three ways. At the last flick, the tail of the needle made a subtle buzzing sound, and the man's brows were wrinkled unconsciously.

As the tail of the needle swayed, various parts of the man's body trembled to varying degrees, which lasted until Li Mu took off the needle.

"Wipe one side of his body with warm water, and then boil a dose of medicine into half a bowl of three bowls of water."

Li Mu sterilized the removed silver needle and then inserted it back into the needle bag. He put his fingers on the man's wrist again. After acupuncture, the man's pulse was much more stable than before, which proved that Li Mu's plan was correct.

He ordered the woman to wait for her to fetch warm water and wipe the man's body before proceeding to boil the medicine.

"I don't know what's going on with them."

Li Mu walked to the window, where he had been observing just now. Looking at the chaotic and desolate appearance of the street, he couldn't help but think of Zhang Jieri and Ah Xing.

Zhang Jiheri is a senior, experienced and highly cultivated. Li Mu is not worried about any accidents happening to him. However, although Ah Xing has improved more than before when they meet again, he is the weakest among the three. Li Mu

It's inevitable to feel a little worried.

"rustle…"

While Li Mu was deep in thought, a subtle rustling sound behind him brought him back to his senses. He turned around and saw a pair of childlike eyes looking at him curiously.

"Are you a doctor?"

The door curtain was opened at a corner, and it was the boy Li Mu had seen outside the window before. Although he was a little nervous, he still mustered up the courage to ask Li Mu questions.

"Yes."

"Then can you cure my father's illness?"

After hearing Li Mu's answer, the boy looked at him hopefully and clasped his fingers nervously.

"Of course, your dad will get better soon."

Li Mu knelt down and rubbed the boy's hair with his hand, and spoke to him gently.

"Really? But many of us here are sick. Dr. Ye can't cure them, and my mother-in-law won't let me enter my father's room."

The boy was a little nervous when Li Mu touched his head, but when he heard Li Mu say that his father would be well soon, his eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again, and he said with some frustration.

At the beginning, his mother-in-law also told him that as long as he took the medicine well, his father would get better soon, and then they could go out to play. But as time went by, his father

Not only did his illness not get better, but it became more serious than before. From then on, my mother-in-law refused to let him near the room.

Although he is young, he is not a three-year-old child. He also understands everything he should know. He knows that his father is seriously ill and that many people in the county are like his father.

The lively streets before were gone, and the playmates he played with were all locked up at home by adults like him.

"Well...it's true. My medical skills are very good. Dad's illness will be cured soon."

Seeing the hope in the boy's eyes, Li Mu nodded seriously and gave him a positive answer, and the boy's eyes lit up again.

"Then let's hook up."

The boy was so happy that he couldn't help but smile, and then he stretched out his fingers to hook up with Li Mu. For him, this was the most reliable way to make a promise.

"good!"

"Hang yourself with a hook and you won't be able to change for a hundred years..."

Li Mu also stretched out his fingers and hooked them with his, and the two of them swayed their hands together with the boy's words, but when Li Mu put his eyes on their hands, his eyes couldn't help but freeze.

I saw some faint spots between the boy's fingers. The color was similar to that of his father, but lighter. After they let go of their hands, the boy always picked at them unconsciously.

"Uh...well..."

Just when Li Mu was about to take a closer look, the man lying on the bed behind him groaned in pain, which caught Li Mu's attention. When he looked back, he saw the pain on his face, and his body was twisting there as before.

"You go outside and wait for me."

After saying a few words, Li Mu came to the bed and stretched out his hand to check for pulse again. Not long after he put his hand on it, his brows wrinkled again.

"How can it be!!!"

Li Mu looked at the man in shock, his pulse returned to what it was before.

It had only been a few minutes, but the effect of the acupuncture just applied was no longer there, which really puzzled him.

Looking back at the previous details, it is certain that acupuncture is effective, but Li Mu is a little confused as to why this happens.

From acupuncture to body wiping, only two things were done. After the acupuncture, the pulse became smoother. So the problem lies in wiping the body?

Thinking of this, Li Mu hurriedly walked out. As soon as he left the door, he saw a woman walking cautiously carrying a bowl of medicine.

"Doctor, the medicine is ready...what's wrong?"

The woman thought Li Mu came out to urge her, but then she saw the look on his face and couldn't help but asked in a panic.

"Sister, where is the water you wiped yourself with just now?"

"It fell down, what happened?"

"That's it..."

Li Mu repeatedly told her the man's pulse, and he suspected that the problem occurred in the water he was wiping himself with.

After hearing this, the woman couldn't help but panicked and took Li Mu to the kitchen. It was said to be a kitchen, but in fact it was just a small shed made of wood. There were some firewood piled in it. On the ground was an earthen stove made of earthen bricks.

There was also a large pot with a lid on it. When the woman lifted the lid, a burst of hot steam came out.

Li Mu took some water from it and took a look. He didn't see anything wrong with it, so he brought it to his mouth to taste it.

But after tasting it, he couldn't help but look at the water in front of him with some doubts. There was nothing wrong with the water.

"Sister, are you sure this is the water you use to wipe yourself?"

Li Mu frowned and asked, if that was the case, then he really didn't know what to do.

"Well, because you said it should be warm, I added a spoonful of cold water from the vat."

The woman's words made Li Mu's eyes light up. He looked in the direction she pointed and saw a water tank quietly in the corner. Li Mu walked to the water tank in two steps and filled it with another spoonful of water.

Come and take a closer look.

The water was crystal clear and there was nothing wrong with it, but as soon as he poured a little bit into his mouth, he immediately spat it out on the ground.

"Bah, bah, bah! There's something wrong with the water!"
