Episode 101
016. Welcoming guests (2)
As I was waiting for guests at the entrance of the tea room, the Namgung siblings and a girl who appeared to be the child of the Tang family came up.
Wearing a black uniform with red embroidery, she stood out even from afar.
‘The youth of the Tang family wear stealth suits even in broad daylight. That way, let alone being stealthy during the day, I will be more visible. Is that okay?’
Sacheondangmun.
The red letters are powerful.
This costume is worn when a child of a Tang family is in a bad state due to being consumed by darkness during adolescence, and most people wear it because they want to.
The head of the previous generation’s family personally commissioned the clothing store to make it during her adolescence.
Several sets of military uniforms made in this way are still handed down and given to children of that age who have the same symptoms(?).
Children of that age were fascinated by the magical power of the clothes, which were dark as night and red as blood, and voluntarily wore them, and when the elders of other samurai families saw the robes, they began to understand each other.
It was truly traditional clothing.
She looked up at Jin Tianxi.
The two black eyes resemble a small animal.
If Namgoongun resembles a large dog and Namgoongyeon resembles a cat, Dangah resembles a small white dog.
‘Oh, what was it? The one I saw on Earth… the Pomeranian!’
It resembles a Pomeranian.
The black fur and wide eyes made the overall look very lively and cute.
‘Do you like Dangwa? What do kids that age like? Glutinous rice cake? Pumpkin taffy? ‘Do you like it if I give you dried persimmons?’
Jin Cheon-hee’s fatherly instinct was commanding him to feed the children a lot of food.
‘I want a daughter like that too.’
The dream I gave up a long time ago has quietly reared its head.
Jin Cheon-hee looked for something to eat in her sleeve.
I wanted to quickly give you a lot of delicious food.
Then she said.
“Are you So Baekryong?”
The voice was quite loud.
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I am Dang-a of the Four Heavenly Dangmun. “I request a sparring match!”
‘Oh… as soon as our eyes meet, it’s a sparring match. I should have heard that there was a ronin in Gangho who was requesting a sparring match like that…’
I have touched the bones of those who attacked for a bounty, but sparring was different.
Jin Cheon-hee had never been challenged to spar like that before.
‘Is it fresh?’
Is this the scent of Kangho?
Have I now come to the point where I am experiencing something like that?
Jin Cheon-hee recalled a romance that she had carefully hidden in the past.
Danga said.
“It’s pharmacy sparring! “Let’s poison each other and compete to see who can detoxify first!”
At those words, Jin Cheonhee’s brows furrowed slightly.
‘It’s not that sparring, is it?’
It is a dog-gong sparring between people who have mastered dog-gong.
However, not only did Jin Cheon-hee never learn poison techniques, but Jin Cheon-hee’s specialty was breaking and not decoding.
“You don’t like it?”
I guess my voice became a little sharper without me realizing it.
Dang-ah’s face turned red, as if she didn’t know she would be rejected outright.
“this…!”
Jin Cheon-hee ignored Dang-ah and spoke to Namgung-un.
“Everyone, please come in.”
Jin Cheon-hee guided everyone to the reception room.
After taking a seat, Jin Cheon-hee spoke to Namgung-un.
“Nangung Sohyeop, put your wrist here.”
Namgoongun obediently held out his wrist.
When Jin Cheon-hee caught Nam Gung-un’s pulse, Dang-ah looked like a surprised rabbit.
“No, I can’t believe I was easily found out by an outsider. “Are you saying that Brother Un trusts this guy that much?”
At those words, both Jin Cheon-hee and Nam Gung-un seemed to laugh.
“You can’t laugh too hard. “It’s hard to get a grip.”
“Keukheuhm, that’s right. “I’ll just stay still for a moment.”
Namgung-yeon wrapped his arms around Dang-ah’s neck and hugged her from behind.
“It’s heavy. “The kite is heavy!”
Jin Cheon-hee held back laughter as it kept bursting out. Namgoong Woon may have felt the same way, but his pulse wavered and then came back again and again.
After finishing the pulse, Jin Cheonhee said with a serious expression.
“You didn’t listen to my advice, did you?”
“Are you saying to drink a lot of water and avoid salty and oily foods?”
“yes.”
Namgoongun averted his gaze at Jin Cheonhee’s words.
“Uh… these days, seniors and close friends keep inviting me to drinks, so I can’t do anything about it.”
“The absences have gotten bigger. “Right now, the location is okay, but I think it would have started if we had stayed a little longer.”
“What starts?”
“The pain of hell.”
Namgoongwoon opened his eyes at those words.
At that time, Danga said.
“I don’t understand. “Do you mean that you can tell if a stone is forming just by taking a pulse?”
It is certainly difficult to find stones by taking a pulse.
Internal injuries or trauma can be found by using the pulse to find the place where the energy is broken and drawing an outline, but small stones are difficult.
It’s also a small form of absence before something happens.
Usually, stones are not noticed until after they have grown large and started damaging the urethra or kidneys.
‘If I tell you that it has become easier to find urinary stones thanks to surgical knowledge about urinary stones, it will only arouse your curiosity.’
When Jin Cheon-hee did not answer, Dang-ah spoke confidently.
“I’ve never seen a doctor who could predict urinary stones using a pulse! “It’s definitely a scam!”
‘Well, it’s not wrong if you think about it in terms of medicine of this era.’
In this world where surgical medicine has not developed, the cause of urinary stones has not been clearly identified.
I don’t know why stones formed, but my lower abdomen hurt like crazy, and by the time I was about to take the pulse, it was either too late or I had to pray with a knife in my stomach.
At the time, it was a dangerous disease that could lead to death.
In particular, at a time when the cause of infection was unknown and antibiotics had not been invented, crushing was a very dangerous treatment.
“First of all, it is easy to find out that it is a urinary stone.”
“what?”
“Can you bear the pain even if it hurts a bit?”
“Brother Jin, I’m okay with that, so don’t do it, just treat him right away.”
However, Danga had a different opinion.
“If you are a member of the National Assembly, show me right away!”
“Uh… I’ll just listen to what you’re going to do. “It’s my body.”
Jin Cheon-hee answered calmly.
“It’s no big deal. I use my energy to gently press on the area where the stone is located within the Namgung small pore and move it a little. Although it is small, the tip is sharp like a blade, so you can tell that it will be quite painful.”
“Brother Un! That’s a good idea! If things continue like this, you can just open your eyes and get ripped off!”
“It’s my body, guys. Yeon, you…”
Namgung Yeon’s eyes lit up.
“Oh, it is an important matter to check if there are any stones in your brother’s body. “I want to make it clear that this is by no means revenge for my brother teasing me so much.”
Jin Cheonhee smiled cheerfully.
“It’s 2 to 1. Then press…”
“…Now wait a minute!”
Jin Cheon-hee pressed the lower back where the stone was.
After inserting the inner hole and touching the top a little more, I felt a stone.
“Huh… Huh!”
Urinary stones.
The patient who was brought to the emergency room said it hurt like he had been shot.
Some said it felt like being stabbed with a knife, and others said it felt like being torn with an awl and then picked.
Jin Cheon-hee had never suffered from urinary stones, but she knew well how excruciating the pain was.
Namgoongun couldn’t even scream and just gasped and croaked for 3 seconds.
Jin Cheonhee quickly withdrew her hand.
Danga said.
“Smoke… no. That looks really painful. “I felt the screams of Brother Un’s soul.”
“Dang-ya and Yeon-ya. “You two… think there won’t be any snacks for three days.”
Namgoongun frowned lowly.
Even from that moment of pain, cold sweat broke out in my hands.
“Look, Brother Jin. “I don’t know if I’m taking care of two girls or two demons.”
Yeon looked at the distant mountains and looked away.
Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘This is the fat brother and sister.’
They would take revenge after death, but when they had the chance, they would stab each other once, just like on Earth.
‘All people’s lives are the same.’
“Namgung Sohyeop, please use your mind wisely. Since you make fun of Namgung Sojeo so much, aren’t you getting it back every time you get the chance?”
“Ugh… But it’s my pleasure to make fun of my younger brother. “It’s not for outsiders to interfere.”
Jin Cheon-hee asked those words.
“Would you like me to press Namgung’s sword one more time? “It’s hard to know at first glance, isn’t it?”
“Please save me! “Please save me!”
* * *
Namgoong Woon decided to be hospitalized for a short time to have a urinary stone crushing procedure.
In the meantime, Namgung-yeon and Dang-ah also stayed together.
The two were so close that they were never apart for even a moment.
Namgoongyeon, who was very shy and had a stutter, smiled brightly when she was with Dangah.
Even though Danga was a little strange like the other party members as she entered puberty, she was still very kind-hearted, so even within the council, she was evaluated as good.
He simply does something eccentric, such as taking a bandage from his body and wrapping it around his uninjured arm in the hopes of practicing a new martial art.
Uigakwon taught me how to properly apply a bandage, and I learned with a sparkle in my eye.
Meanwhile, Jin Cheon-hee closely examined Nam Gung-un’s condition.
‘Natural emissions cannot die.’
He is a man who lives on alcohol and meat.
It’s amazing how on earth Parakho like this becomes the Murim lord and talks about the best sword in the world.
Fortunately, while I was hospitalized at Baekrin Uigak, I was able to ban all alcohol, fatty foods, and salty foods.
‘According to the original story, even though the urinary stones eventually grew, they were somehow resolved…’
Jin Cheon-hee rubbed her chin.
‘There’s no way I could have done it with my skills like my teacher while holding the stone.’
Regardless of inflammation or blockage, the pain is not something people can endure.
Suddenly, Jin Cheonhee changed her mind again.
‘This is Moorim. ‘People here really do anything.’
Even after wandering, didn’t he pull out the half pin that held his leg and stab King Zhou with the intention of committing suicide?
These people are the ones who keep quiet and keep their secrets even when they are tortured to the point of tearing their flesh apart.
‘This place… is a surgeon’s hell.’
If it’s a problem related to beliefs, not only does the patient not fully tell about the symptoms, but if they do anything, they either go out and risk their lives because of their beliefs, or prepare to die because of Eunwon.
‘How Namgoong Woon solved his urinary stones is something that doesn’t appear in the novel anyway. For the main character, Yeo Ha-ryun, Namgoong Woon is just a very strong opponent.’
Jin Cheon-hee gave a clear answer.
‘I’m a doctor, so I can do my job as a doctor. Let’s focus on the patient in front of us.’
Jin Cheon-hee looked at Nam Gung-un’s body for a while and then opened her eyes.
“Why on earth did the absenteeism become so big… and how on earth did you drink alcohol? “You couldn’t have drank medical distilled alcohol, right?”
“Is that also in the vein?”
