Chapter 36
"Don't abandon me."
The deputy general stared at the world of truth and said.
The world of truth smiled and said, "I know."
He patted the deputy general's hand that was tightly holding his, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "Since you have decided to die with us, how can I abandon you?"
The deputy general retracted his hand as if he was burned by fire, his face flushed, turned his head, took a step back, and said nothing.
The World of Truth showed a smile like a successful prank, took two steps forward, approached the general and asked: "Excuse me, what do you think?"
The general was a little helpless: "Didn't I just say that?"
The World of Truth shook his sleeves: "Say it again."
The general obeyed: "All yours." The
World of Truth smiled: "Okay, if you say that, I'll be willing to die."
The general said: "If we die, things will be settled, that would be a good thing."
The World of Truth sighed: "I'm afraid it can't be done. Even if it can be done, it will be very troublesome." The
general said: "Let's take it one step at a time."
Everyone nodded.
Not long after, Prime Minister Huang galloped to the edge of the battle line with 500 escorts, and the soldiers came to report.
The World of Truth was handing the general a bowl of medicine and sneered, "You really can't wait a moment and come here in such a hurry. I thought they were a little far away from here and couldn't get there in a while, but I didn't expect them to be here so quickly."
His face gradually darkened, and he used a spoon to stir the medicine in the bowl, and the medicine became sticky.
The general knocked him and said, "Give it to me. You won't eat it anyway. I want to eat it."
The World of Truth forced a smile, watched the general drink the medicine, stood up and said, "Then I'll leave?"
The general nodded.
The World of Truth went out and put the bowl down, walked around outside, hesitated and walked back to the door, shouted twice to the inside and asked: "General, are you still awake? I want to go in and take a look at your legs, is that okay?"
The general replied half asleep and half awake: "Sure, come in."
The World of Truth rushed in, turned around and closed the door, washed his hands, wiped them with a towel, lifted the quilt, lifted up his trouser legs and took a look. His face became more gloomy. The general felt a little cold, frowned and asked: "What's wrong?"
The World of Truth murmured in response: "It's terrible, it's worse. Look, the color is blue and purple."
He gritted his teeth, covered the quilt back, walked around the room, and the deputy general came over again.
When he saw the World of Truth here at first glance, he thought that someone came to deliver medicine. When he swept, he didn't see the medicine, so he thought that the person had forgotten about it. He patted the World of Truth and asked, "What are you doing here? Don't you see the medicine? Why don't you go out and look for it in your own place? What's the point of walking around here with your head down?"
The World of Truth glanced at him, sighed, sat on the stool under the table next to him and said, "I'm not looking for medicine. I've already dealt with the medicine bowl. I came back."
The deputy general also sat down and asked, "What are you doing?"
The World of Truth smiled and said, "I remembered that I didn't see the patient, and it has worsened."
After that, he couldn't laugh anymore.
The deputy general said, "Oh, no wonder you looked like you were going to die."
He covered his mouth, glanced at the general, slapped his cheek, and said angrily, "What nonsense am I talking about."
The World of Truth said, "So you know you are talking nonsense."
The deputy general stepped forward and asked, "Then our top priority now is to treat the general's illness?"
The World of Truth said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't make any medicine without it! Ordinary medicine is useless. The current medicine can only keep people alive. If other soldiers are injured or have a headache, I can't ignore it. There are not many prepared medicines. If this goes on, we can only go to the nearby Dig some grass roots from the soil on the hillside and round them off, maybe they can be useful."
The deputy general asked: "What if they are useless?"
The World of Truth took a deep breath and smiled: "Then we will just wait to die. Or, I accidentally made a mistake in the medicine, and the things were mixed up and someone used them, either an infectious disease or poison. How do you want to die?"
The deputy general couldn't laugh much, and pulled the corner of his mouth: "It's terrible, there are a few more ways for us to die."
The World of Truth nodded: "Yes."
The two were silent for a while, and the general suddenly woke up and called the deputy general's name. The World of Truth stood up at once, lowered his head, hurriedly opened the curtain and walked out.
The deputy general stood up and approached the bed, held the general's hand and asked: "What's wrong?"
The general calmed his breathing, looked at him, and smiled: "Nothing, I had another dream. This dream is actually somewhat related to the last one, as if it is the follow-up development of the same thing in the same world."
The deputy general asked curiously: "What is the follow-up development?"
The general opened his mouth, looked at his face and hesitated: "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, please call a doctor for me."
The deputy general was stunned for a moment , nodded. Although he didn't understand why the general suddenly stopped talking, he still went out and called the busy Truth World over: "The general wants to see you. It seems that he is talking about dreams. Can you interpret dreams?" Truth World
thought for a while and said, "No."
He shook his head and said, "I can't, but I will go over."
The deputy general asked, "When?"
Truth World tied a knot on the bandage of his subordinate and said, "Go now."
He stood up, and suddenly his eyes went black, and he fainted in front of the deputy general.
The deputy general was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to pick him up, and Truth World avoided hitting the ground with the back of his head, but he didn't wake up. The deputy general realized that Truth World was really unconscious and not joking, and quickly sent him to the bed next to him, and pulled a quilt to cover Truth World.
The patient next to him said, "Is it too hot? The weather is not cold, but covering yourself with a blanket might make you sick?"
The deputy general nodded, "Oh."
He lifted the blanket, sat down next to him and took off his shoes, looking dazed.
The patient said, "Maybe I'm tired. I'll be fine after a rest. It won't be long. Don't worry, deputy general."
The deputy general nodded.
He sat for a while before he remembered to go back and tell the general that he couldn't go to the world of truth for the time being.
But he took a look at the world of truth and felt that it would take some time for people to wake up. He didn't want to leave, so he pulled a soldier passing by and said, "Go find the general for me and tell him that I found a doctor, but the doctor is unconscious and can't go for a while. When the doctor wakes up, I will take him to find the general immediately and tell the general not to wait for me."
The soldier nodded, "I will tell the general."
The deputy general let go of his hand, "Okay."
The soldier walked out.
The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger.
The deputy general became more irritated by the wind. He frowned, but still covered the World of Truth with a corner of the quilt. That corner of the quilt just covered the belly of the World of Truth, and the World of Truth did not move.
The deputy general touched the forehead of the world of truth and felt no fever. He did not understand why the world of truth suddenly fainted. He sighed, held the world of truth's hand, and murmured: "I think your hand is normal, not cold, not sweating, and not hot. Why are you like this? If you die, what will we do? I can't treat illnesses."
When it was dark, the world of truth woke up and saw the deputy general beside the bed. At first, he thought he was still having a nightmare. He was frightened and almost fell off the bed. But the deputy general quickly supported him, pressed him to lie on the bed and asked: "What's wrong with you?"
The deputy general looked at the world of truth's forehead: "So much sweat. Is there so much sweat ?" Is it hot? I'm almost feeling cold. I don't know if you heard it, but there's a strong wind outside and it looks like it's going to rain tonight. I don't know if you can get back to your place before it rains heavily. By the way, I came to find you because the general wanted to see you, do you remember?"
The World of Truth sat on the bed for a while and nodded: "I remember now, I remember everything, don't worry, I'll go find the general now."
The deputy general hurriedly stopped him, looked at his pale face suspiciously and asked: "Are you okay?"
The World of Truth smiled and said: "No."
The deputy general asked: "Then do you really want to go now? It's very late now. Maybe the general has fallen asleep."
The World of Truth shook his head while holding the quilt: "No, the general will... He usually sleeps very late."
The deputy general asked: "How do you know?"
The World of Truth said: "The general's legs hurt during the day, and he feels groggy after taking medicine. It is normal for him to want to sleep. If he sleeps during the day, he will not be so sleepy at night. It is easy to stay awake. The general will not be willing to lie in bed waiting for us to do things. He has a fire in his heart, and he wants to burn everything around him to ashes. If we want him to not care about things, I am afraid it will only be after we are all dead. "
The deputy general pulled the corner of his mouth: "You are really good at talking. Why do you say such things at this time? Do you think we are not unlucky enough?"
The World of Truth blinked: "I'm sorry, I'm talking nonsense."
The deputy general waved his hand: "Forget it, go if you want to."
The World of Truth Li Shijie got up, and the deputy general stood up: "I thought about it and decided to go with you. You seem to be hiding something from me. I want to know. If I can't know, we can talk later. Even if it's not because of something I don't know, I still have to care about your health. One is a general and the other is a doctor. You can't lie down together. I can't handle it alone."
Zhenli Shijie smiled and said, "You don't have to run around alone."
He lowered his eyes, and it was hard to tell whether he was joking or not: "Even if I'm not here, haven't I explained everything to you? Just do it. Even if I die, there are still generals and prime ministers."
