Episode 69:
She was stubborn and serious.
Once a decision is made, it will be completed even if the sky turns upside down. However, he was never stubborn about personal matters.
Jin Cheon-hee stood up without saying a word.
“I’ll prepare right away. And I don’t need any money.”
Jin Cheon-hee was not the one to put a price on a close friend’s desperate request.
* * *
She ran quickly through the forest.
The small light scattered along the light and shadow and came back again and again.
Jin Cheon-hee followed Wang Gak-yeon without falling behind.
“You can run faster.”
“How did you know?”
I didn’t run with all my might because I was worried that Jin Cheon-hee would get tired.
If Jin Cheon-hee was too tired, I planned to carry him and run.
Jin Cheon-hee answered calmly.
“I heard from Mr. Gungwi that all the walking techniques are handed down at Pasa Shrine. “I have free time, so run.”
Prince Wang Chae-baek wanted Jin Cheon-hee to continue to call him Palace Demon.
He said that the nickname is something he has built up.
Since he asked so much, Jin Cheon-hee had no other reason to refuse.
His daughter, Wang Gak-yeon, did not attach much importance to it since it was decided by her father.
“okay.”
She nods and strengthens her legs.
Boom!
As soon as I took the first step, her afterimage dispersed.
He disappeared without leaving a trace, as if he had been in a dream.
‘Wwiyu is amazing.’
Jin Cheon-hee whistled softly and turned the power.
Concentrate on the five elements, wind energy, and ice that you have realized this time, on your legs.
The realization of the Samjaebobeop awakened the boy’s body.
widely.
Jin Cheon-hee followed Wang Ke-yeon straight away with the least amount of movement.
Wang Gak-yeon’s eyes turned to wonder at seeing Jin Cheon-hee like that.
“Hasn’t it been a while since you learned martial arts?”
“half a year.”
“Is that possible?”
Chinwoo’s accomplishments appear to be amazing.
The place the two children arrived was a small cave nestled between canyons.
That location is also hidden by tree roots, so you can’t usually tell. Even if you recognized it, it had an indifferent appearance, as if it had been dug up by a wild animal.
In addition, it is a narrow cave that adults cannot enter.
The two stopped in front of him.
“Is there a patient here?”
“huh.”
Wang Gak-yeon bent down and entered the cave on all fours.
She didn’t care how dirty her expensive silk clothes got.
‘Oh my gosh, Mr. Gungwi is going to cry… No. Rather, you must be proud.’
When clothes wear out, you have a reason to buy them again. Even so, he was an impatient man who couldn’t buy him new clothes due to Wang Gak-yeon’s nagging.
Good is good.
Jin Cheon-hee followed Wang Gak-yeon into the crypt.
The two children went downstairs for a while, groaning like that.
And when I reached the end, I saw a light.
Narrow room. low ceilings.
However, the reason you could see inside was because it had expensive night wine on it.
I didn’t know it from the outside, but this was an artificial place created by humans.
It seemed as if it had been made by some deceased person a long time ago.
Kiing –
The sound of an animal was heard under the night light.
Wang Gak-yeon said.
“They’re all here.”
I followed Wang Gak-yeon deeper into the room.
There was a dog curled up inside.
The dog smelled bloody.
Jin Cheon-hee asked.
“Is this the dog you want to treat?”
“huh.”
It didn’t look like an ordinary dog.
Jin Cheon-hee walked up to the dog.
Three ropes were tied around the dog’s neck.
It wasn’t a strangling noose.
It was a type of mark that could be used as a dog collar.
The shape of the knot was strange, so Jin Tianxi looked at it closely.
What the medical council members learn is not only medicine.
It is basic to learn various common sense commonly used in the river.
In that sense, this knot was one I had seen before.
“Opening…? Also, three ropes and five knots? “It’s a symbol of the ark, right?”
Special Jeonseogyeon.
It is also a special telegraph dog carrying news of the Ark of Openness.
The normal sect uses Jeonseoggu, or Sae.
Because it flies, speed is guaranteed and it is not easy for other factions to intercept it.
Depending on the sect, a hawk or a crow or a magpie may be used instead of a pigeon.
Normally, Jeon Seo-gu only moves to a designated location.
When highly intelligent birds are raised using special methods, they become quasi-spiritual creatures and can travel to many places.
You can even understand people’s speech.
Here, open is used together with dog.
Although their speed is slower than that of birds, they move in groups and can travel complex routes at once, and they are also easy to track using their sense of smell. They are also adept at begging for food, using their status as dogs.
Openness leads to begging not only for people but also for dogs.
And the war dog used by someone of Ark’s level is bound to be special.
“It’s a spirit creature, right?”
It is not a quasi-spiritual product. It’s just a spirit creature.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“I don’t know how to treat dogs.”
“I thought you were going to ask what the story was?”
“I want to ask about that after saving him.”
Despite saying that she did not know how to treat dogs, Jin Cheon-hee was immediately disinfecting her hands with medical liquor.
‘First of all, start with body temperature.’
Jin Cheon-hee’s index finger pierced Jeon Seo-gyeon’s anus.
Whip!
“Stay still.”
Jeon Seo-gyeon must have understood Jin Cheon-hee’s words and stopped barking.
‘All I know is very basic things, so why not?’
I studied it by tasting it a long time ago.
Unlike humans, dogs measure their temperature through the anus in an emergency.
Since there is no thermometer, the only way to judge is by palpation, but it is normal for dogs to have a body temperature that is 2 to 3 degrees higher than that of humans.
‘…but it’s too high? My pulse is fast too.’
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“For something like this, we need to find someone who specializes in it. “If you ask me to do it, you’ll end up like a quack.”
Wang Gaoyeon asked.
“Then where do you take care of the dog?”
‘right. There are no modern animal hospitals in this world.’
In an age where people cannot even take care of their own bodies, it is even more difficult to find a doctor who takes care of dogs.
Jin Cheonhee sighed.
“Uh… Then I don’t know? I’ll do my best, so let’s kill him and go to Uigak. “You can get treatment there.”
Cry!
Jeon Seo-gyeon tried to bite Jin Cheon-hee when he said those words.
Surprised, Wang Gak-yeon calmed the dog down.
“Hwanggu. stop! stop!”
It seems the dog’s name is Hwanggu. It’s a common dog name.
Wang Gak-yeon said.
“I don’t think there’s anything going on, but I’m definitely not allowed to go somewhere else. “I don’t know the details.”
“How did you find him… No. I got it first. “This is what the patient wants, right?”
I never thought I would receive a dog as a patient in my lifetime.
In the novel, Jin Cheon-hee thought about things that might happen due to openness.
This is the full story of the Ark of Openness.
The news that such a spirit being risked his life to deliver could not have been small news.
‘There are too many things to figure out.’
Nevertheless, there were too many.
Openness will face many storms in the future. Each one has a fatal effect on opening.
‘Does this dog have to survive for openness to survive?’
If we think of Murim as a living thing, Jeonseo can be said to be a red blood cell.
It transfers information instead of oxygen, saving every corner of the entire clan.
“Do you know why you were hurt?”
“I don’t know either. “Honestly, if this guy hadn’t been crying for help, I wouldn’t have known at all.”
Wang Gak-yeon said. Hwanggu is a dog that is often seen in the neighborhood. I knew that I was friendly with open people.
Aren’t beggars and dogs both competitive and symbiotic at the same time?
Hwanggu is a rather large yellow-haired dog. A common dog.
“I knew it was a dog belonging to a public dog, but I didn’t know it was Lord Bangju’s war dog. All the kids liked him because he was smart and quick on his feet. “The rope around my neck is too shabby.”
If Jin Cheon-hee had seen the dog without knowing that he had learned it, he would have looked like an ordinary country spaniel.
‘But this guy seems to have been appearing in this neighborhood often. If the kids in the neighborhood know about it…’
Wang Gak-yeon continued.
“The kids I used to play with called me Hwanggu. That’s it. Then today, while hunting in the forest, I found it… and took me to its den. And he collapsed here.”
It seemed like he used up his last strength to find her and call her out.
To find a familiar scent in that vast forest and ask for help. It seems that the spirit is a spirit.
Jin Cheon-hee took a deep breath and took a deep breath.
The Five Elements Divine Power seemed to flow into Hwanggu’s body, but then got lost.
A dog’s blood chart, not a human’s blood chart. What Jin Cheon-hee knows about dogs, especially large dogs, is very limited.
Jin Cheon-hee made a difficult diagnosis.
‘Contamination has progressed due to trauma and the inflammatory response is severe. Is it patellar dislocation, shin fracture, and biceps tendonitis?’
First of all, biceps tenosynovitis.
In humans, this is a symptom that often occurs in middle-aged people. However, in fact, this symptom often occurs in large dogs as well.
Due to obesity, the biceps brachii muscle and synovium are often damaged, causing inflammation, and in this case, mobility.
In other words, it could be said that it was caused by excessive use of the front foot.
‘The fascia is severely damaged. Oh, I see. ‘You continued to run up the mountain despite being injured.’
It also occurs when you use your front legs to their limit.
‘The pain must have been extreme, but I didn’t give up.’
The shin bone is fractured.
When a hind leg is broken, it is normal for a dog to not be able to run.
If it were a wild dog, it would have moved around looking for a place to rest. But Hwanggu was different.
I didn’t know if it was like a spirit or a loyal dog, but I foolishly continued to run. But that also has its limits.
No matter how spiritual something is, it cannot be done.
When it reached its limit, it tracked down the nearest trusted scent and called for help. He then hid himself in his own hideout.
‘You are better than people. ‘Better than people.’
What was the message that Hwanggu had to go to such lengths to convey?
‘The fracture… of course, was caused by receiving shock to the hind leg.’
Fortunately, Wang Ya’s last companion, the wandering candidate, is in better condition. However, advanced inflammation is already a dangerous sign.
The infection prevents bone union and once it progresses to osteomyelitis, it becomes chronic and is difficult to cure.
The number of bone fragments that fell off was three.
Comminuted fracture!
Wounds reveal so many things.
A comminuted fracture is a trauma that occurs when a person is struck with a blunt force.
Jin Cheon-hee was able to deduce the enemy’s appearance from the wounds suffered by the dog.
‘The opponent didn’t use a sword, but used a fist or a sword. ‘I was trying to capture Jeon Seo-gyeon alive as much as possible.’
Why? Wouldn’t it be more efficient to kill them and take the letter?
Why did you try to drag me away alive?
Jin Cheon-hee informed Wang Gak-yeon of what he had inferred from the wound.
“Is that… okay?”
“huh.”
“Is this the clairvoyant from legend?”
“If that happens, you will be immortal. “I just look at the wound and try to make some inferences.”
“A little?”
Wow!
Hwanggu was also surprised and barked softly.
Jin Cheon-hee asked, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
“Does Hwanggu understand everything people say?”
“maybe. Even though I sometimes pretend not to hear because it’s annoying, it seems like I understand everything. “You understand everything we’re saying right now, and we talked briefly before calling you, right?”
“story?”
“When I say something, he responds.”
At least I’m better at saying yes and no than anyone else.
Then…
Jin Cheon-hee makes eye contact with Hwang-gu.
