Episode 189. Old Man Namhwa (2)
However, the attached limbs all rotted away and eventually took the man’s life.
‘Is that councilor also having the same vain dream as me when I was young?’
The experiment he did when he was young was something that other people shouldn’t know about, so there was the hassle of kidnapping people to a very secret place.
However, this is a battlefield where hundreds of people die every day.
Whether the severed leg holds or rots, no one will bruise that congressman.
‘He’s a pretty smart guy. Wait, isn’t the guy who said he’d treat the corpse whose stomach was split and his intestines spilled out of the same category as this guy?’
The old man smacked his lips involuntarily.
He didn’t even know that he had met some really talented candidates for discipleship today who would properly follow his progress.
The old man began to watch the lawmakers again with interest.
After a long time, the patient whose stomach was split and the intestines leaked out was carried out on a stretcher with a bandage wrapped around his stomach.
‘Heh heh… I only cut off the limbs and put them on, but these experiments are much more diverse.’
The old man looked at the patients and was amazed when he saw the patient with a bandage wrapped around his head.
He said that it could go beyond his hands and feet and even his stomach, but he never imagined that there would be crazy people who would dare to split his head.
‘Huh~. Maybe these guys can even surpass me…’
The old man couldn’t wake up in amazement and stayed at the doctor’s office until the sun went down and the treatment stopped.
Even when the old man with the appearance of a freshman first entered the medical room, people paid a lot of attention even though he was busy. However, when he just stood and watched all day, did not eat even if food was given to him, and even when he talked to him, he kept repeating that he should not pay attention to himself.
“Is that old man still here from morning today?”
“Stop paying attention and get ready to treat patients.”
“At first glance, I saw him wearing a needle around his waist… Are you a doctor?”
“He’s probably a doctor who used to live around here… I think he was shocked to see Master’s medical techniques after hearing rumors.”
The hwabu and the disciples of the janggi saw the old man standing like a mangbuseok, but soon turned off their nerves and prepared to greet the patients.
Old Man Namhwa is trying to keep his expressionless, but deep inside he is always shocked.
In the past, when he cut off a person’s arm and put it on, it rotted black because the blood didn’t go through.
Because it was once called a trust, it was known that the severed parts would not rot in that state.
‘That guy whose stomach split open and his intestines spilled out is now eating porridge. Heh heh… I’m going crazy. What kind of tricks are they using to do such nonsense?’
Old Man Namhwa desperately wanted to see inside the tent where the wounded were operated on. However, in front of him, armed men who looked unusual at first glance stood in shifts guarding them.
Of course, if you try to subdue it by force, you have the confidence to subdue it enough, but there was no point in making a mess like that.
Old Man Namhwa secretly came last night to see if there was any clue left, but when he was caught by the military commander who was standing in front of him, he even ran away.
“Kerham~.”
Old Man Namhwa cleared his throat and approached the fireman.
“Hey, Congressman Bogehwa.”
Having been here for the past few days, I knew that the painter was the owner of the medical room.
“Your old man.”
“It seems like they are still treating critically ill patients in there… Can I go in and have a look?”
The fireman put on a slightly bewildered expression.
Even though he said his face had matured recently, he was someone he hadn’t even met before.
“It’s not possible. It’s not a place anyone can enter.”
After hearing the fireman’s words, Old Man Nam showed the pain hanging from his waist.
“Actually, I used to be a member of parliament. So, I am very curious about how to treat it, so please let me see it at least once.”
The painter saw the old man’s slightly impudent expression and shook his head with cold eyes.
“No matter how old you are, you know how shameless the request you are making now is, right?”
“…..”
“And the person who was a doctor has been watching for several days when there are overflowing patients in front of him?”
When the painter continued to speak bitterly, the old man smiled embarrassedly.
“Kehem heh heh… I know that I am shameless, but how curious can I be? And I was a member of the council before, but now I’m old and retired for a long time.”
“You look old, but you seem to be full of energy. And no matter how retired you are, people who look at dying patients and pretend not to know do not deserve to see my medical practice.”
“Keum-eum, don’t reject me so harshly, let me see you. I am willing to pay even a dollar if I want.”
“No matter what you give me, I will not allow it. And you sneaked up last night and ran away, right?”
“What are you talking about? I never sneaked in.”
“Yesterday my escort said he saw the old man. It won’t happen in the future, so don’t even think about coming in.”
“Rep. Lee Bogehwa. The escort must have misunderstood something. Why did I secretly come here in the evening?”
“They must have come to see what is in that tent where I operate. Now, even Shichimi is taken off. Guard Zhang.”
Janggoe and Haman were already close.
“Yes, Senator.”
“Get this old man out of here.”
“All right.”
When Jang Goe came and opened his eyes, the old man had no choice but to come out of the medical room.
Janggoe returned without pushing the old man away from the doctor’s room at regular intervals.
Old Man Nam stood outside the doctor’s room and continued to look inside the doctor’s room.
The fireman now turned his nerves away from the old man and began treating the sick.
At that time, Jeong-sam, who had been receiving treatment from a fireman for severe lethargy for several days, came out of the tent with the help of Beon-ah and bathed in the warm sunlight of early spring.
‘Oh, that guy…’
The old man’s eyes widened when he saw Jeong-sam.
At Hwa-woong and Lee-suk’s camp, he recognized at once that the soldier who ate the Hwandan he had made was him.
The old man hurriedly turned around and walked away from the medical room.
‘Why is the author over there? He’s definitely a soldier of Dong Tak’s army…’

Old Man Nam was completely estranged from medical practice, but he was still curious about the amazing medical techniques of the painter and his disciples.
As the old man could not leave his seat and kept looking at the medical room, one of the two disciples behind him with a sword opened his mouth.
“Teacher said, there is no such thing as beauty for a man. Coincidentally, one of my nieces has an off-white child, so how about calling her over and asking her questions?”
The old man with the sword, who was listening to the man with the sword, tilted his head.
“Your niece, are you referring to the one from the top of the saga?”
Saga Merchant Company is the best merchant company in Luoyang where the imperial palace is located.
“Yes.”
“Isn’t that child learning tactic?”
“Sangjae is also excellent, but he’s basically smart, so he might be able to go into a doctor’s office for a while and seduce a doctor to find out information.”
It was insignificant and unreasonable for a talented woman from the super-giant merchant guild, but the two were talking as if they didn’t care about it at all.
“Hmm~. Well, at that level, it wouldn’t be that difficult.”
The old man’s face brightened when the sword-bearer nodded.
“It’s a beauty world… It’s plausible! I won’t be able to do anything else until I know what’s going on inside my tent, so hurry up and get your niece.”
“Your master.”
The old man with a sword took out a thin flute and blew it.
Food duck…
Then a falcon appeared from afar and sat on the shoulder of an old man with a sword.
The old man with the sword took out a ink cartridge, a brush, and a piece of paper that could only be found in an imperial palace, wrote something on it, and hung it from the hawk’s leg.
As the hawk ascended to the sky and circled in the sky, the old man blew the flute again. Then the hawk flew somewhere.

Sarah hummed when her father called and ran to her, then looked on incomprehension at his orders.
“Are you telling me to be a maid for a while?”
“Yes, for a while, you can become a disciple of a doctor named Hwabu and find out what the elder is curious about.”
Sarah’s eyes widened at the word elder.
The existence that his father called the elder in the Saga Merchant Company could be said to be the root of the present Saga Company.
absolute command.
Sara shook her head quickly.
As long as the word “elder” was included, this was something he could not refuse, so if he told his father what he wanted on the premise of accepting it, there was a high probability that he would listen.
‘The basics of negotiations are rejection. Since it’s my father… Let’s bounce it moderately.’
“But Dad, I don’t know anything about medicine.”
“You’re smart, so if you study in the carriage with the help of the doctor on the way to Jinryu-gun, you’ll be able to build up some basic knowledge.”
“I was learning trade, but suddenly I learned medicine? No matter how much the elders want it, I think it’s a waste of time…..”
Jjirit.
As soon as the household owner’s eyes showed anger, Sara realized that she had gone too far and hurriedly turned her words around.
“…But what can I do? If you want to do it, you have to do it.”
“You want to tell me that you can do it, but you need a price?”
“Hehe… This time, I heard that my eldest brother is supplying weapons to the imperial palace…” When
Sara made an expression full of regret, Saga Jangju smiled.
“good night. After satisfying the elder, I will leave the next imperial palace items to you.”
“Only next time?”
“If you are too greedy, you may end up hating your older brothers.”
“Father, I am at the age of marriage. You need to put me in a coma.”
“The fact that you become the in-law of the main family will make your in-laws feel embarrassed. So don’t be greedy for nothing.”
“That is my father’s idea. Even after I get married, I want to be a loving wife and daughter-in-law. And for that to happen, the coma has to be plausible.”
“Are you going to pull out a root of a pillar?”
“I’m the only daughter… Please pull out at least one of the dozens of pillars.”
“Heh heh… That’s why it’s said that if you raise a daughter, you’ll make others do good things.”
“…..”
Sarah did not answer and pouted her lips, so Gazoo read the letter tied to the falcon’s paw once again.
“Kerham~. yes i got it Since the elder is grieved, if you quench his thirst, I will make sure that only your hands can touch the miscellaneous goods delivered to the imperial palace from now on.”
“thank you. father. i love you.”
When Sara was suddenly held in his arms and fawned over, a smile appeared on the family head’s face.
“Heh heh… I’m really worried about who will take you.”
“If my father wants it, I can live my whole life without getting married.”
